B.help young people make friends with the opposite sex

C.make them competitive in the job market

D.help them achieve success in their interpersonal relationships

正确答案:D

答案解析:此题要求做出结论。文章第三段第四句认为自己积极与人交往的大学生说他们注重自己的外表并成功扮演自己的角色。可以判断D符合文章内容及题意，正确答案是D。A与第二段最后一句相矛盾，B与第三段第二句不符，C不合题意。

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

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

B.It is rather unusual fｏｒa 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 authｏｒdoes 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。

3、The mother who holds her baby on the left（）.【阅读理解A】

A.knows that her heart-beat has a calming effect on the baby

B.keeps her dominant arm free fｏｒmanipulations

C.instinctively ｏｒby an unconscious series of trials ａｎｄ　errors soon arrives at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart

D.gives the usual fondling, cuddling ａｎｄ　cleaning little comment

正确答案:C

答案解析:主旨题。经过观察发现：…the mother, either instinctively ｏｒby an unconscious series of trials ａｎｄ　errors would soon arrive at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart, than on the right.“母亲或许是本能地，或许是经过一系列的无意识的成败试验后很快发现，如果她的婴儿被抱在左侧贴近心脏处，要比抱在右侧乖得多”，因此才有第一段中的现象：80％的母亲是左手兜住自己的孩子，把孩子放在自己身体的左侧。因此C正确。

4、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。

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

A.most Americans regard tipping as a rational practice, though some of them dislike it

B.most Americans recognize the fact that tips encourage good service ａｎｄ　make servants feel equal

C.tipping is unnecessary ａｎｄ　unreasonable, but people in America have to, fｏｒit is a social custom

D.consumers only pay what they have to pay fｏｒa given service, because they don\'t like tipping

正确答案:C

答案解析:从原文第一段内容可以推断，虽然作者认为小费不合理，但美国人在接受服务后不得不付小费，因为这是一个惯例。
