1、Advertising men dress people up in white coats because（）.【阅读理解A】

A.it makes their advertisements more conspicuous

B.it makes their advertisements more convincing

C.the majority of TV doctors are dressed up in white coats

D.it makes the actors take the job seriously

正确答案:B

答案解析:最后一段They will dress anyone up in a white coat to appear like an unimpeachable authority or, failing that, they will even be happy with the announcement. 他们会把任何人包装成穿白大褂、看起来像无可置疑的权威。因此选B。

2、What are the functions of studying philosophies mentioned in the passage?（）【阅读理解A】

A.It would make our own idea flexible

B.It would help prepare us for the future and guide our actions

C.It would enable us to understand how things develop as to better tackle the future

D.All of the above

正确答案:D

答案解析:推断题。A项在第一段开头就已提到。第四段第一句话说道，“但是我们得为将来做准备，没有一些哲学知识，我们是无法理性地做到这一点的。”因此，B项应该是符合题意的。而C项在最后一段也有谈到。所以，答案应选 D。

3、It is possible to find out if a person has adapted to the changes of routine by measuring his body temperature because（）.【阅读理解A】

A.body temperature changes when the cycle of sleep and wakefulness alternates

B.body temperature changes when he changes to night shift or back

C.the temperature reverses when the routine is changed

D.people have higher temperatures when they are working efficiently

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题考了一个重要的细节：为什么量体温能看出一个人是否已经适应新的工作时间呢？根据4第段第3句，正常日班工作时工作效率高，体温也稍高。文章接着又说，改变工作安排之后，有一个适应过程，体温变动模式也随着适应程度的变化而变化，效率高时体温也高一些。所以选项D是答案。这一点还可以从这一句最后的particularly in terms of performance中看出。选项A不全面，没有指出体温变化与身体的适应程度大体上一致这一点，也没有指出可以根据其工作好坏判断。同样的道理，选项B和选项C也不对。

4、The word “precedents” (Line 1, Para. 4) probably refers to（）.【阅读理解A】

A.early acts for men to follow as examples

B.particular places for men to occupy especially because of their importance

C.things that men should agree upon

D.men’s beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided

正确答案:A

答案解析:该题要求根据上下文推测precedent的词义。分析第四段第一句可以看出precedent和role models一起是并列宾语，所以precedent意义与role models类似，另外从构词法角度分析前缀re前面，在四个选择项当中，符合以上二点要求的只有A项，正确答案是A。

5、Why is there "wide-spread uneasiness and confusion about the food situation in Britain？"（）【阅读理解A】

A.The abundant food supply is not expected to last

B.Britain is importing less food

C.Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising

D.Britain will cut back on its production of food

正确答案:C

答案解析:只要考生仔细阅读，便可看出本文的第1段第5句Why do food prices keep on rising，when there seems to be so much food about？回答了这个问题。因此选项C是答案。文中未提及A项、B项和D项，因此这3个选项都不合适。
