D.in ｏｒｃｅｒto keep their right arms free fｏｒother work

正确答案:D

答案解析:细节题。这道题关键要注意到题目中的Most people think…，多数人认为… 文中说“…most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population”。“大多数人会回答说，显然这是人们以右手为主的这种优势造成的结果。” 因此选D。

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、Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies？（）【阅读理解A】

A.They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills

B.They see the gaining of skills as their employees\' own business

C.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment

D.They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition

正确答案:B

答案解析:问下列哪种情况与美国公司人才管理状况相符。第1段第3句话指出：“掌握劳动技能被认为是个人自己的责任。”B项说，“公司把获得劳动技能看成是受雇者自己的事。”可见，这两句内容相吻合。A、C、D三项又与原文不符，故B为正确答案。

4、The best solution fｏｒimplementing the 24-hour working system seems to be（）.【阅读理解A】

A.to change shifts at longer intervals

B.to have longer shifts

C.to arrange fｏｒsome people to work on night shifts only

D.to create better living conditions fｏｒnight workers

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题考核考生对文章具体内容的理解。第3段第1句说，“要真正解决这个问题似乎只有把夜班活交给一批固定干夜班的工人去干”。第4段第1句又说，“这种专人干夜班的方法看来不失为最佳的长远之计。”所以选项C是答案。其他3个选项文章都没有提到，都不正确。

5、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。
