1、What did the future look like for Britain\'s food production at the time this article was written？（）【阅读理解A】

A.The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers

B.An expansion of food production was at hand

C.British food producers would receive more government financial support

D.It looks depressing despite government guarantees.

正确答案:D

答案解析:仔细阅读本文，便知本题的答案可由第5段第2和第3句引出，因此答案应该是选D。由于文章第3段第1句的government support说的是the gradual cutting down of government support for food，不是说英国政府对粮食生产者提供财政上的支持，因此选项C是错的。文中内容并未涉及选项A和B，因此A项和B项也是错的。

2、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。

3、The example of what Plato thought in the passage shows that（）.【阅读理解A】

A.science development can solve many problems for philosophers

B.Plato knew nothing about Physics at his time

C.the scientists have achieved a lot in terms of light theory

D.different people have different ways of perception

正确答案:A

答案解析:细节题。第二段第一句指出，“科学家都倾向于认为，所有有关哲学的问题最终会由科学来解决。我认为对于许多哲学家仍争论不休的问题，这一点是千真万确的。”因此，A项正确，而B项显然错误。C，D项虽说法正确，但不符合题意。

4、What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?（）【阅读理解A】

A.He is one of the most important executives in the firm

B.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced

C.He is directly under the chief financial executive

D.He has no say in making important decisions in the firm

正确答案:D

答案解析:问在美国公司中人力资源部经理一职地位如何。第2段第4句话指出：“担任人力资源部经理一职者在公司作出重大决策时从未被咨询过，也没有机会升任公司总经理。”D项说，“他在公司作重大决定时没有发言权。”两句意思相符，故D为正确答案。

5、Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Tipping is very popular in America

B.Better service deserves bigger tip

C.Discretionary tipping is not reasonable

D.Tipping embodies one\'s social status

正确答案:C

答案解析:A项仅仅指出了文中所论述的一个现象；B项是公众的普遍看法，并非作者的观点；D项是文章后面论述的一个次要观点，并不能概括全文的主旨。
