1、Why didn\'t the government\'s expansion programme work very well?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Because the farmers were uncertain about the financial support the government guaranteed

B.Because the farmers were uncertain fｏｒthe benefits of expanding production

C.Because the farmers were uncertain whether foreign markets could be found fｏｒtheir produce

D.Because the older generation of farmers were strongly against the programme

正确答案:B

答案解析:由于文章未提及A项和C项，故这两个选项是错的。虽然文章最后一段提到the older generation，但并没有说老一辈的农民反对英国政府发展农业的计划，故选项D也是错的。本文最后一段的第2句和最后一句指出，尽管当前的粮食价格和市场是有保障的，但农民担心他们很可能被夹在廉价的进口粮食和日益缩小的国内市场之间，因而对政府扩大粮食生产的号召不怎么热心。根据这两句话，可以推断出答案应该是选项B。

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、According to the last paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Nobody benefits from tipping in the case of restaurant

B.Waiters are not motivated from tipping

C.Tipping does not benefit management of the restaurant

D.Tips should go into the decent wages of service people

正确答案:A

答案解析:题干要求找出不正确的选项。B、C项为事实。D项为作者观点，从文章最后一句推知。A项推论过急，实际上，我们可看出“service people”从小费中得到了好处。

4、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。

5、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。
