Louisiana一事無關(guān)。 40. 選【C】,從第二段第一句:But as recently as in 1986, jury selection procedures conflicted with these democratic ideals. 第三段第一句:The system also failed to regularly include women on juries until the mid20th century. 以及第四段第一句In 1968, the Congress of the United States passed the Jury Selection and Service Act, ushering in a new era of democratic reforms for the jury. 不難看出本文從第二段一直到最后,都是在闡述陪審團制度的問題,以及如何解決陪審團制度的問題?! ⌒骂}型 本文出處:The Economist print edition;Dec 3rd 2009 原文標題:Copying birds may save aircraft fuel 第41題:【F】 因為飛機的飛行路線可以改用更具仿生效應(yīng)的路徑來節(jié)省燃油,而且并不需要購買新的飛機。 第42題:【T】,因為drag有阻力的意思?! 〉?3題:【T】,根據(jù)以上劃線部分,即飛機間會相隔幾海里,不會像紅箭表演隊(英國皇家空軍特技表演隊)那樣間距小到令人窒息。乘客往窗外看也許都看不到另外的飛機。可以得出乘客其實不受影響。另外要注意的是,題目中的more在這里不表示比較級?! 〉?4題:【T】段首句強調(diào)“天氣情況對氣流的影響現(xiàn)在仍需觀察”所以本題正確?! 〉?5題:【F】根據(jù)but轉(zhuǎn)折詞,即劃線部分,但Dr Lissaman稱那些都是杜撰的?! 》g真題、 Sustainability has bee a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning,the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainabilityoriented values must be expressed through every day action and choice. 當今,“可持續(xù)性”已經(jīng)成為了一個流行的詞語。但是,對特德寧來說,他對這個詞有著自身的體會。在忍受了一段痛苦的、難以為續(xù)的生活之后,他清楚地認識到,以可持續(xù)發(fā)展為導(dǎo)向的生活價值必須通過日常的活動和做出的選擇表現(xiàn)出來?! ing recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He39。d been through the dot boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency. 寧回憶了在上個世紀90年代末期的某一年,他賣保險,那是一種渾渾噩噩的生活。在經(jīng)歷了網(wǎng)絡(luò)經(jīng)濟的興盛和衰敗之后,他非常渴望得到一份工作,于是和一家博德的代理公司簽了合約?! t didn39。t go well. It was a really bad move because that39。s not my passion, says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. I was miserable. I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said,” Just wait, you39。ll turn the corner, give it some time.39。39?! ∈虑檫M展不順,“那的確是很糟糕的一種選擇,因為那并非是我的激情所在,”寧如是說。可以想象,他這種工作上的窘境是由于銷售業(yè)績不良造成的。“我覺得很悲哀。我太擔心了,以至于我會在半夜醒來,盯著天花板。沒有錢,我需要這份工作。每個人都會說,等吧,總會有轉(zhuǎn)機的,給點時間吧。”14 /
