29. Who coined the word "sandwich"?
【解析】C)。四個選項(xiàng)都是關(guān)于人物的詞，由此可以推測，本題內(nèi)容與人物有關(guān)。 由于Lord Sandwich是他的朋友里面一個那樣吃面包的人(only one among his friends who ate bread in that way)，他的朋友們開始叫這種食物"bread-Sandwich"(Sandwich面包)。可見最初使用sandwich這個詞的人是Lord Sandwich的朋友們。
30. What didn't the tenants like?
【解析】B)。四個選項(xiàng)中有兩個是不定式，有兩個是人物身份，由此可以推測，本題的內(nèi)容可能與人物的態(tài)度有關(guān)系。佃農(nóng)們都不喜歡Boycott，因?yàn)樗麑Υ柁r(nóng)的態(tài)度很差(treated his poor tenants very badly)，佃農(nóng)們于是決定不和他說話(not to speak to him)。故正確答案為B)。
31. What did the landowner do when he found out that the tenants were boycotting his agent?
【解析】A)。四個選項(xiàng)都是He開頭描述某人的行動，由此可以推測，本題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于某個人采取的行動。 當(dāng)?shù)刂靼l(fā)現(xiàn)佃農(nóng)抵制Captain Boycott后，地主就把他換掉了(the Captain was removed)，故正確答案為A)。
Passage Three
The family is changing.(32) In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together, and they had an extended family. Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The nuclear family consists of only one father, one mother, and children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere.
(33)The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Studies show that in nuclear families men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life.
But wives usually have to "pay" for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandparents, and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too :(34)women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from unclear families often have to live alone.
(35)Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full time jobs, and they have not much free time.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. Who used to live together in an extended family?
C)?！窘馕觥克膫€選項(xiàng)都是There be開頭描述家庭成員，由此可以推測，本題的內(nèi)容可能涉及某種類型的家庭當(dāng)中的家庭成員。過去大家庭當(dāng)中，會有祖父母、父母和子女，有時家族當(dāng)中還會有幾個兄弟和他們的妻子兒女(two or more brothers with their wives and children)?？梢姶蠹彝ギ?dāng)中有很多親戚。故C)為正確答案。
33. What advantages does the nuclear family offer women?
A)。【解析】四個選項(xiàng)都是The women開頭描述女性地位的句子，由此可以推測，本題的內(nèi)容可能是跟女性的地位有關(guān)的。小家庭(nuclear family)當(dāng)中的女性有更多的自由，不用時刻面對各種親戚(freedom from their relatives)，并且可以參加決策，丈夫不再完全擁有整個家庭的權(quán)力(have all the power of the family)。故正確答案為A)。
34. What are some disadvantages of the nuclear family for women?
B)?！窘馕觥克膫€選項(xiàng)都是關(guān)于家庭生活的句子，由此可以推測，本題的內(nèi)容與家庭生活的某個方面有關(guān)。 由于女性壽命一般比她們丈夫的壽命長(live longer than their husbands)，所以小家庭的其中一個缺點(diǎn)是，上了年紀(jì)的女性經(jīng)常要一個人孤單地生活(have to live alone)。故正確答案為B)。
35. Why are many women dissatisfied with marriage and the nuclear family?
C)。【解析】四個選項(xiàng)都是They開頭表示狀態(tài)或者決定的句子，由此可以推測，本題的內(nèi)容是與某一類人的決定或者他們的狀態(tài)有關(guān)。女性對小家庭的不滿主要在于她們除了從事工作，回到家還需要做大部分家務(wù)(do most of the housework)，很少有自己的空余時間。故正確答案為C)。

本文由大多數(shù)女人關(guān)于"約會如同選美市場"的抱怨談起，通過英國紐卡斯?fàn)柎髮W(xué)的Thomas Pollet和Daniel Nettle在《生物學(xué)快報(bào)》上剛發(fā)表的一篇論文的描述與分析，論述婚姻如同一個市場。兩位研究者通過研究，發(fā)現(xiàn)美國出現(xiàn)了男女性別比例失衡問題，所以在擇偶方面，女人比較挑剔?；橐鍪袌鲋校煌酝氖?，由于男性人口多于女性，女人才是真正的買方。
47. dating is like a cattle market
【定位】 根據(jù)題干中的a paper和women定位到原文第一段第一句Women often complain that dating is like a cattle market, and a paper just published in Biology Letters by Thomas Pollet and Daniel Nettle of Newcastle University, in England, suggests they are right.
【解析】 本題提問該論文與多數(shù)女人一致的看法是什么。題干中的...suggest they are right提示該論文同意女人們常見的看法，即文章開篇提到的女人的抱怨，所以complain后的賓語從句就是本題的答案。
48．Women choose men of high status，resources and good looks.
【定位】 根據(jù)題干中的contention和which is often denied by social scientists定位到原文第二段第一句和第二句Mr. Pollet and Dr. Nettle were looking for evidence to support the contention that women choose men of high status and resources, as well as good looks. That may sound common sense, but it was often denied by social scientists...
【解析】 本題提問遭到社會科學(xué)家否認(rèn)的廣受爭議的話題究竟是什么，根據(jù)原文結(jié)構(gòu)contention后是同位語從句，進(jìn)一步解釋contention的具體內(nèi)容，后面提到這種廣受爭議的話題雖然被視為人之常情，但在過去卻遭到社會科學(xué)家的否認(rèn)。因此contention后同位語從句的內(nèi)容就是本題的答案。
49. you have to look at natural populations
【定位】 根據(jù)題干中的experiments和zoologists定位到原文第二段最后三句Since then, a series of experiments in laboratories have supported the contention. But as all zoologists know, experiments can only tell you so much. Eventually, you have to look at natural populations.
【解析】 題干表述的是對該句意思的概括轉(zhuǎn)述，雖然一系列實(shí)驗(yàn)都為這個觀點(diǎn)提供了可靠依據(jù)。然而動物學(xué)家都比較傾向于相信從自然種群獲得的數(shù)據(jù)。所以不能僅看實(shí)驗(yàn)數(shù)據(jù)，最終還是需要看自然種群的數(shù)據(jù)。題干是對這段話的簡單概括，答案可直接從原文得出。
50. be particularly attractive
【定位】 根據(jù)題干中的market和scarcity of sellers定位到原文第三段They have examined...indeed, a market. Moreover, as in any market...if they are to make the exchange.
【解析】 題干是第三段整段的概括和簡化，主旨為婚姻確實(shí)如同一個市場。而且，同其他市場一樣,買主的稀缺迫使賣方必須擁有別具吸引力的商品才能與買主達(dá)成交易。原文中描述的是普通市場的情況，而題干中已經(jīng)明確界定了in the market of marriage,所以答案不應(yīng)照搬原文，應(yīng)當(dāng)結(jié)合題干適當(dāng)變化，變?yōu)樾稳菰~。意思是在婚姻的市場中，缺少買方就意味著賣方必須非常有魅力。
51. A surplus of males.
【定位】 根據(jù)題干中的how picky women were定位到原文第四段末兩句 Though the long-colonised eastern states had a sex ratio of one man to one woman,..."go west, young man"had resulted in a surplus of males. Mr. Pollet...how picky women are, given the chance.
【解析】 原文意思是在"年輕人，去西部"的口號影響下，其他州呈現(xiàn)了男性過剩的局面。這一局面恰好為Pollet先生和Nettle博士提供機(jī)會，讓他們清楚地發(fā)現(xiàn)女性對男性的選擇是多么挑剔。結(jié)合題干和原文很容易找到問題的答案應(yīng)該是A surplus of males。
Section B
Passage One
本文圍繞針對死刑是否應(yīng)該存在展開討論。許多人認(rèn)為死刑對于兇殺具有有效的威懾作用，而其他人則認(rèn)為沒有令人信服的證據(jù)證明死刑降低了兇殺案的數(shù)量。
52. D)。
【定位】 由題干principal purpose of this passage is定位到全文內(nèi)容。
【解析】 主旨題。從整篇看，作者是在為實(shí)行死刑爭辯，因此選D)。

53. A)。
【定位】 由題干author's response to those who urge the death penalty定位到原文第四段第一句For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher.
【解析】 推斷題。在第四段中，作者認(rèn)為謀殺案情況不同，還有相對程度之分。他把謀殺分為兩類：一類是在盛怒之下殺人，另一類是有預(yù)謀的特別殘忍的謀殺。他認(rèn)為前一種殺人犯可以把他們與社會隔離起來，不一定要處以極刑。所以說作者并不贊成把所有殺人犯都處以死刑，因此A)是正確答案。
【避錯指導(dǎo)】 B)"友好的"和C)"支持的"顯然是不對的；作者對把所有殺人犯都處以死刑只是不贊成，而不是懷有"敵意"，因此D)也不對。
【解析】C)。四個選項(xiàng)都是關(guān)于人物的詞，由此可以推測，本題內(nèi)容與人物有關(guān)。 由于Lord Sandwich是他的朋友里面一個那樣吃面包的人(only one among his friends who ate bread in that way)，他的朋友們開始叫這種食物"bread-Sandwich"(Sandwich面包)。可見最初使用sandwich這個詞的人是Lord Sandwich的朋友們。
30. What didn't the tenants like?
