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。

3、The passage tells us that some manufacturers, instead of changing their product, would prefer to change its （）.【阅读理解A】

A.production cost

B.quality

C.market value

D.appeal

正确答案:D

答案解析:第三段If, therefore, fｏｒone reason ｏｒanother, some alteration seems called for, how much better to change the image, the packet ｏｒthe pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself. 一旦需要改变产品，最好的办法莫过于改变外观形象、包装或产品定位而不是不辞辛苦改变产品本身。“改变外观形象、包装或产品定位”都是指D。

B.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population

C.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the predominance of left-handedness in the population

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。

5、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。
