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。

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

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。

3、The main problem of the round-the-clock working system lies in（）.【阅读理解A】

A.the inconveniences brought about to the workers by the introduction of automation

B.the disturbance of the daily life cycle of workers who have to change shifts too frequently

C.the fact that people working at night are often less effective

D.the fact that it is difficult to find a number of good night workers

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题要求考生住第2段的中心大意，正确回答24小时轮班工作的主要问题在哪里。第2段最后一句说，工人“刚刚习惯了某一班次的时间安排，却又要倒班了。这样，他在大部分时间里工作和睡眠效率都不高。”所以关键在于工人的日常生活周期规律被打乱了。选项B是答案，而选项A文章没有提及。选项C不符合文章的原意，文章是说工人在适应新的工作班次之前效率不高，并不只是夜间工作效率不高。文章没有提到D项内容。

4、The decrease in world food prices was a result of（）.【阅读理解A】

A.a sharp fall in the purchasing power of the consumers

B.a sharp fall in the cost of food production

C.the overproduction of food in the food-importing countries

D.the overproduction on the part of the main food-exporting countries

正确答案:D

答案解析:只要仔细阅读，便知道本题的答案可在第2段里找到，因为该段第1句指出，由于北美洲连续两年出现了特大丰收，而第3年又是丰收在望。因此答案应该是选项D。虽然最后一段提到present production is running as 51 percent above pre-war leve1s…，但这不等于说，所有进口粮食的国家都粮食生产过剩，故选项C是错的。文中未提及选项A和B，故这两个选项是错的。

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

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。
