【正文】 reliance and a distrust of central planning—as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legitimate, intellectual investigation. The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education. Yet its report may well set back reform by obscuring the depth and breadth of the challenge that congress asked it to illuminate. 36. According to Paragraph 1, what is the author’s attitude toward the AAAS’s report? [A] Critical [B] Appreciative [C] Contemptuous [D] Tolerant 本篇文章選自華爾街日報。主要講的是非自由教育以及”問題核心”這個報告。 答案解析： ，該題是細節(jié)態(tài)度題。并非考察全文的態(tài)度，也就是說要細節(jié)定位。根據(jù)題干定位原則，定位第一段AAAS出現(xiàn)之處，并且一定要找到表示評價的部分。該題迷惑性很強，因為文章在AAAS后面就又”praise”所以容易誤導大家選擇答案B “appreciative(欣賞的)”，但是我們應該看到有however，我們知道如果第一段出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折，那此轉(zhuǎn)折一定跟主旨有關。同時各個題都與主旨相關，所以這道題應該于主旨相關，后文中的“may cause more harm than good.”讓我們知道它的還多余利，所以答案選擇A，批判性的。 37. Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how to [A] retain people’s interest in liberal education [B] define the government’s role in education [C] keep a leading position in liberal education [D] safeguard individuals rights to education 37，選C，細節(jié)題。根據(jù)自然段定位原則，36題在第一段出題，38題在第三段出題，那37題在第二段出題的可能性就很大。同時題干定位”Influential figures in the Congress”與“l(fā)eading congressional Democrats and Republicans”同義替換。定位的答案是asking that it identify actions that could be taken by federal, state and ….., individual benefactors and others to asking that it identify actions that could be taken by federal, state and local governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors and others to maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education. “In humanities and social scientific scholarship and education. “也就是說答案重點在maintain national excellence 剛好與選項C 中的leading position 進行同義替換。ABD與文章不符合。 38. According to Paragraph 3, the report suggests [A] an exclusive study of American history [B] a greater emphasis on theoretical subjects [C] the application of emerging technologies [D] funding for the study of foreign languages 38，選C，推理題。Suggest 是推理題的標志。先化選項關鍵詞，發(fā)現(xiàn)選項A是講American history選項B。 是講theoretical subjects。選項C]emerging technologies。選項Dfunding foreign languages。返回原文定位的時候，A 選項中的“exclusive 排外”并沒有在“stresses the study of history and government, particularly American history and American government?！边@句話中體現(xiàn)。B選項中的理論學科沒有定位點。D選項與原文“increased funding for teachers”以及“greater study of foreign languages,”不符。屬于張冠李戴。“encourages the use of new digital technologies.”與選項C 同義替換。 39. The author implies in Paragraph S that professors are [A] supportive of free markets [B] cautious about intellectual investigation [C] conservative about public policy [D] biased against classical liberal ideas 39題選B，屬于推理題。Implies是推理題的標志。同時根據(jù)提題干定位第五段，找professor. “professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets, selfreliance —as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legitimate, intellectual investigation.”A 選項中的free markets前面的修飾詞語是conservative or liberal ideas 沒有體現(xiàn)A 選項中的supportive。C選項中的conservative 與文中progressive public policy 不符合。D選項中biased 沒有體現(xiàn)，故排除。所以選B。 40. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? [A] Ways to Grasp “The Heart of the Matter” [B] Illiberal Education and “The Heart of the Matter” [C] The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal Education [D] Progressive Policy vs. Liberal Education 。主旨大意題。先看其他題題干，我們鎖定關鍵詞是report ，而report 就是“the heart of the matter “ 發(fā)現(xiàn)文章并沒有講如何抓住“問題核心”的各個方法。排除A，選擇B 第 15 頁 共 15 頁
