1、How many kinds of ideas are there about the future? （）【阅读理解A】

A.Two

B.Three

C.Four

D.Five

正确答案:B

答案解析:细节题。从第四段我们得知：一些人Some people say we have only got to do the duties revealed in the past ａｎｄ　laid down by religion, ａｎｄ　god will look after the future；另外一些人Others say that the world is a machine ａｎｄ　the course of future events is certain, whatever efforts we may make；马克思主义者Marxists say that the future depends on ourselves, even though we are part of the historical process；因此，应该是三种观点，选B。

2、The main problem of the round-the-clock working system lies in（）.【阅读理解A】

A.the inconveniences brought about to the workers by the introduction of automation

B.the disturbance of the daily life cycle of workers who have to change shifts too frequently

C.the fact that people working at night are often less effective

D.the fact that it is difficult to find a number of good night workers

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题要求考生住第2段的中心大意，正确回答24小时轮班工作的主要问题在哪里。第2段最后一句说，工人“刚刚习惯了某一班次的时间安排，却又要倒班了。这样，他在大部分时间里工作和睡眠效率都不高。”所以关键在于工人的日常生活周期规律被打乱了。选项B是答案，而选项A文章没有提及。选项C不符合文章的原意，文章是说工人在适应新的工作班次之前效率不高，并不只是夜间工作效率不高。文章没有提到D项内容。

3、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。

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 word “precedents” (Line 1, Para. 4) probably refers to（）.【阅读理解A】

A.early acts fｏｒmen to follow as examples

B.particular places fｏｒmen to occupy especially because of their importance

C.things that men should agree upon

D.men’s beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided

正确答案:A

答案解析:该题要求根据上下文推测precedent的词义。分析第四段第一句可以看出precedent和role models一起是并列宾语，所以precedent意义与role models类似，另外从构词法角度分析前缀re前面，在四个选择项当中，符合以上二点要求的只有A项，正确答案是A。
