D.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the heart-beating on the right

正确答案:B

答案解析:推断题。78%的以左手为主的母亲也是左手兜住自己的孩子，与…it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. By holding the babies in their left arms, the mothers keep their dominant arm free fｏｒmanipulations. “人们以右手为主的这种优势造成的结果。母亲用自己的左手抱住婴儿，从而就能腾出自己主要的手臂来从事各种操作。”相悖。因此选B。

A.American firms are different from Japanese ａｎｄ　German firms in human-resource management

B.Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human-resource management

C.The head of human-resource management must be in the central position in a firm\'s hierarchy

D.The human-resource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity

正确答案:D

答案解析:问文章大意是什么。纵观全文，讲的主要是美国公司对人才管理的重视程度不够，对员工基本技能培训不足以及这种状况对公司竞争力的影响。A、B、C三项的内容文中均提到过，但没有展开论述。D项“美国公司的人才管理策略影响它们的竞争力”贴近全文，故为正确答案。

A.authoritative

B.logical

C.emotional

D.scientific

正确答案:A

答案解析:第四段As fｏｒMedicine, any doctor will confirm that a large part of his job is not clinical treatment but faith healing. His apparently scientific approach enables his patients to believe that he knows exactly what is wrong with them ａｎｄ　exactly what they need to put them right…至于医药，任何一位医生都会确信他的工作在很大程度上不是临床治疗而是信念治疗。他看起来科学的方法使病人相信医生确切知道他们的病情所在以及需要什么加以救治…；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A。

4、We can draw a conclusion from the text that（）. 【阅读理解A】

A.foreign investment environment in Turkey will become better

B.Turkey’s citizens will suffer heavy loss due to the change of the face value of the lira

C.the local currency will depreciate with the removal of six naughts from the face value

D.prices of goods will go up

正确答案:A

答案解析:文章在第一段和第二段介绍土耳其快速的经济增长。第三段分析了过去不能吸引急需的外国直接投资的主要原因之一：经济发展不规律性。文章最后一段介绍了将取消妨碍外国投资者的一个因素。由此可见，土耳其的外国投资环境将变得更好。

5、The word “oscillated” (Line 3, Paragraph 3) most probably means（）.【阅读理解A】

A.fell

B.climbed

C.developed

D.swang

正确答案:D

答案解析:这个词的意思可以根据文中第三段所用的明喻判断出来。文中说，整个1990年代，土耳其的GDP增长就好像“遭受了猛烈的心脏病发作时的心电图一样”，可见GDP增长时高时低，峰谷之间的差异较大，所以oscillated最有可能的意思就是“摆动，震荡”，只有D中的swang意思与之相符。
