A.change people’s conservative attitudes towards their lifestyles

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、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。

3、What is the main idea of this text?（）【阅读理解A】

A.The argument whether philosophy will ultimately be solved by science ｏｒnot

B.The importance of learning philosophies, especially the history of philosophy

C.The difference between philosophy ａｎｄ　science

D.A discuss about how to ｓｅｔa proper attitude towards future

正确答案:B

答案解析:主旨题。文章第一段介绍了我们为什么要学习哲学;第二段和第三段介绍了哲学和科学的联系和差别；第四段说明了学习哲学的必然性；最后一段总结了我们为什么要学习哲学。因此，本文的大意应是学习哲学的必要性，所以选B。

4、The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to（）.【阅读理解A】

A.workers who can operate new equipment

B.technological ａｎｄ　managerial staff

C.workers who lack basic background skills

D.top executives

正确答案:B

答案解析:问美国公司用于培训的资金去向何处。第3段中讲：“……美国公司在培训职工技能方面的投资比日本和德国公司都要少。他们所投资的对象的确也仅是更多地集中在专业人员和管理人员身上。用于培训员工的那部分有限的资金也是更多地用于培训员工做好一份新工作所需的具体技能而不是用于培训员工的基本技能。然而正是这些基本技能使得员工能够吸收掌握新技术。”A、C两项内容与原文不符。D项“高级经理”实际上是包括在B项“技术人员和管理人员”中的，因为“高级经理”也是管理人员的一部分。而且，B项与本段第二句话意思相近，故应为正确答案。

5、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。
