They were preparing to help a firm in Brazil launch an antibacterial cleanser.”可知，這些學(xué)生并不在打臨時工賺取啤酒錢，他們在幫助一家巴西公司發(fā)布一款抗病菌潔面乳做準備工作。由此可知，學(xué)生們詢問年輕的媽媽們是為了推廣一款抗病菌潔面乳。故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The most successful, as voted by their fellow students, will get more funding.”可知，按照同學(xué)投票，最成功的公司將給予更豐厚的資金。由此可知，根據(jù)第一年的課程計劃，如果同學(xué)們認為他/她的公司是最成功的，他/她的公司將獲得更多的資金。故選C。 （3）考查主旨大意。縱觀全文可知，哈佛商學(xué)院改良其商業(yè)課程，讓學(xué)生實地工作，走出教室，與人交談并且還給出三個具體的要素。就是讓學(xué)生把學(xué)到的知識運用到實踐中去，故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain(獲得), whether rich or poor, according to a 20year study led by Mariah Evans. For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(預(yù)示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home pared to being raised in a home with a 500book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education. Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesseducated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. Evans said, Even a little bit goes a long way. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get. The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children39。s educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father39。s occupation or the economic level of the country. Having books in the home is twice as important as the father39。s education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in a developed country and children born in a developing country was just 2 years, less than twothirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.（1）In the past educators held a point of view that ______ . A.children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of educationB.children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich familiesC.children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of educationD.parents39。 level of education had nothing to do with their children39。s levels of education（2）What does the underlined word motivating in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Making somebody want to do something.B.Helping somebody to finish somethingC.Making somebody pretend to do something.D.Preventing somebody from achieving something.（3）Which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will gain? A.The economic level of the country.B.The father39。s occupation.C.Education levels of parents.D.Having books in the home.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，分析了影響孩子教育水平的因素，告訴我們家里有書對孩子的重要性勝于家長受過高等教育的影響。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(預(yù)示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated”. 多年來，教育工作者一直認為，預(yù)示孩子能獲取高教育水平的最強的因素莫過于有受過高等教育的父母”。可知，過去教育家們認為受過高等教育的父母的孩子將獲得高水平的教育。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。文章第二、三段一直說家中有書對孩子的積極影響。再根據(jù)第三段中的“Even a little bit goes a long way. ...the greater benefit the children get” 即使是一點點書，也能大有幫助......你家的書越多，孩子得到的好處就越大?！笨芍瑫鴮⒆佑泻艽笥绊?。所以劃線詞的句子“Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education”這句話是說“ 即使家里只有20本書，在激勵孩子接受更高層次的教育方面仍然有很大的影響”。所以，家中有書可以激勵孩子獲得更高層次的教育水平。由此可推斷出劃線詞的意思是“使某人想做某事”。故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children39。s educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father39。s occupation or the economic level of the country.” 研究者們感到震驚的是，在家里看書對孩子的受教育程度的影響甚至超過了父母的受教育程度、父親的職業(yè)或國家的經(jīng)濟水平等因素的影響。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和詞義猜測兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解 As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well organized and growing fitness market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves: what have we lost, and what have we gained?
