1、What does the writer of this passage think of the ideas of Ghoshal and Bartlett?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Very instructive

B.Very inspiring

C.Hard to implement

D.Quite harsh

正确答案:C

答案解析:从第三段“Unfortunately, they promise more than they deliver.”可以看出作者对Ghoshal 和 Bartlett的观点是不以为然的，作者认为这两个人许诺的比实际提供的要多，所以作者对这两个人的看法是他们的观点不切实际。

2、According to the passage, the way we dress（）.【阅读理解A】

A.provides clues for people who are critical of us

B.indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a career

C.has a direct influence on the way people regard us

D.is of particular importance when we get on in age

正确答案:C

答案解析:此题考核综合概括能力。文章第一句就概括了全文中心：人的衣着在判断一个人时起关键作用（Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to），文章第二段和第三段已反复阐明这一中心思想。由此判断C与文章内容一致，正确答案是C。A不符合文章第二段及第三段内容。B、D二项内容没有被提及。

3、We can infer from the second paragraph that（）.【阅读理解A】

A.Turkey will soon catch the average GDP level of the 15 pre-2004 EU members

B.inflation rate in Turkey used to be very high

C.Turkey’s economy will keep growing at present rate

D.IMF’s economic program will help Turkey join the EU

正确答案:B

答案解析:根据文章第二段“土耳其得通货膨胀率自1972年以来首次跌进个位数”可知，以前的通货膨胀率都在两位数甚至更多，是非常高的数字。

4、Seventy-eight percent of left-handed mothers hold their babies on the left side. This fact contradict the theory（）.【阅读理解A】

A.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the heart-beating on the left

B.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population

C.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the predominance of left-handedness in the population

D.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the heart-beating on the right

正确答案:B

答案解析:推断题。78%的以左手为主的母亲也是左手兜住自己的孩子，与…it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. By holding the babies in their left arms, the mothers keep their dominant arm free for manipulations. “人们以右手为主的这种优势造成的结果。母亲用自己的左手抱住婴儿，从而就能腾出自己主要的手臂来从事各种操作。”相悖。因此选B。

5、The following sentence（）is right.【阅读理解A】

A.The author thinks that we can learn nothing new from the usual fondling, cuddling and cleaning of babies by their mothers

B.It is rather unusual for a mother to hold her baby against her body when resting

C.Eighty percent of American mothers put their babies on the left side of the cradle

D.The author does not agree that there is a predominance of right-handedness in the population

正确答案:D

答案解析:文章第一段第四句If asked to explain the significance of this preference most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. （如果问及这种偏好的原因，大多数人回答显然是因为人口中右撇子占多数的结果），但是第6句作者表明 But a detailed analysis shows that this is not the case（但是一项细致的分析表明事实并不是这样的），可见作者不同意人口中右撇子居多。
