Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Text 1 Each year, millions of people in Bangladesh drink ground water that has been polluted by naturally high levels of arsenic poison. Finding safe drinking water in that country can be a problem. However, International Development Enterprises has a low-cost answer. This non-governmental organization has developed technology to harvest rainwater. People around the world have been harvesting rainwater for centuries. It is a safe, dependable source of drinking water. Unlike ground water, rainwater contains no minerals or salts and is free of chemical treatments. Best of all, it is free. The rainwater harvesting system created by International Development Enterprises uses pipes to collect water from the tops of buildings. The pipes stretch from the tops of buildings to a two-meter tall storage tank made of metal. At the top of the tank is a so-called “first-flush”device made of wire screen. This barrier prevents dirt and leaves in the water from falling inside the tank. A fitted cover sits over the “first-flush” device. It protects the water inside the tank from evaporating. The cover also prevents mosquito insects from laying eggs in the water. Inside the tank is a low coat plastic bag that collects the water. The bag sits inside another plastic bag similar to those used to hold grains. The two bags are supported inside the metal tank. All total, the water storage system can hold up to three-thousand-five-hundred liters of water. International Development Enterprises says the inner bags may need to be replaced every two to three years. However, if the bags are not damaged by sunlight, they could last even longer. International Development Enterprises says the water harvesting system should be built on a raised structure to prevent insects from eating into it at the bottom. The total cost to build this rainwater harvesting system is about forty dollars. However, International Development

Text 2 Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the child may have to go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible, for example by providing the opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway train up to any age if he still needs to do so. This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological treatment of children in difficulties with their development, and is the basis of work in child clinics. The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught by gradual stages to wait for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels the world around him is a warm and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to conforming to its demands. Learning to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very important element in upbringing, and is achieved successfully only if too great demands are not made before the child can understand them. Every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill—the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feeling of failure and states of anxiety in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Learning together is a fruit source of relationship between children and parents. By ziip*<a!_

MA QY/s~F
playing together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents. Toys and games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this co-operation. Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and crossword are good examples. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being. 6. The principle underlying all treatment of developmental difficulties in children__________. A. is to send them to clinics B. offers recapture of earlier experiences C. is in the provision of clockwork toys and trains D. is to capture them before they are sufficiently experienced 7. The child in the nursery__________. A. quickly learns to wait for food B. doesn't initially sleep and wake at regular intervals C. always accepts the rhythm of the world around them D. always feels the world around him is warm and friendly 8. The encouragement of children to achieve new skills__________. A. can never be taken too far B. should be left to school teachers C. will always assist their development D. should be balanced between two extremes 9. Jigsaw puzzles are__________. A. too difficult for children B. a kind of building-block toy C. not very entertaining for adults D. suitable exercises for parent-child cooperation 10. Parental controls and discipline__________.

Text 3 More than half of all Jews married in U. S. since 1990 have wed people who aren't Jewish. Nearly 480, 000 American children under the age of ten have one Jewish and one non-Jewish parent. And, if a survey compiled by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles is any indication, it's almost certain that most of these children will not identify themselves as “Jewish” when they get older. That survey asked college freshmen, who are usually around age 18, about their own and their parents' religious identities. Ninety-three percent of those with two Jewish parents said ,l"2MXD

they thought of themselves as Jewish. But when the father wasn't Jewish, the number dropped to 38 percent, and when the mother wasn't Jew, just 15 percent of the students said they were Jewish, too. “I think what was surprising was just how low the Jewish identification was in these mixed marriage families.” Linda Sax is a professor of education at UCLA. She directed the survey which was conducted over the course of more than a decade and wasn't actually about religious identity specifically. But Professor Sax says the answers to questions about religion were particularly striking, and deserve a more detailed study. She says it's obvious that interfaith marriage works against the development of Jewish identity among children, but says it's not clear at this point why that's the case. “This new study is necessary to get more in-depth about their feelings about their religion. That's something that the study that I completed was not able to do. We didn't have information on how they feel about their religion, whether they have any concern about their issues of identification, how comfortable they feel about their lifelong goals. I think the new study's going to cover some of that,” she says. Jay Rubin is executive director of Hilel, a national organization that works with Jewish college students. Mr. Rubin says Judaism is more than a religion, it's an experience. And with that in mind, Hillel has commissioned a study of Jewish attitudes towards Judaism. Researchers will concentrate primarily on young adults, and those with two Jewish parents, and those with just one, those who see themselves as Jewish and those who do not. Jay Rubin says Hillel will then use this study to formulate a strategy for making Judaism more relevant to the next generation of American Jews. 11. The best title of this passage is__________. A. Jewish and Non-Jewish in American B. Jewish Identity in America C. Judaism-a Religion? D. College Jewish Students 12. Among the freshmen at UCLA__________thought themselves as Jewish. A. most B. 93% of those whose parents were both Jewish C. 62% of those only whose father were Jewish D. 15% of those only whose mother were Jewish 13. The phrase “interfaith marriage” in the Paragraph 3 refers to the__________. A. marriage of people based on mutual belief B. marriage of people for the common faith C. marriage of people of different religious faiths D. marriage of people who have faith in each other 14. Which of the following statements is NOT true about professor Sax's research? A. The research indicates that most students with only one Jewish parent will not think themselves as Jewish. B. The survey was carried out among Jewish Freshmen. C. The research survey didn't find out what and how these Jewish students think about their religion. D. The research presents a new perspective for the future study. 15. Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph? !KW)*

Text 4 Governments that want their people to prosper in the burgeoning world economy should guarantee two basic rights: the right to private property and the right to enforceable contracts, says Mancur Olson in his book Power and Prosperity. Olson was an economics professor at the University of Maryland until his death in 1998. Some have argued that such rights are merely luxuries that wealthy societies bestow, but Olson turns that argument around and asserts that such rights are essential to creating wealth. “In comes are low in most of the countries of the world, in short, because the people in those countries do not have secure in dividual rights,” he says. Certain simple economic activities, such as food gathering and making handicrafts, rely mostly on individual labor; property is not necessary. But more advanced activities, such as the mass production of goods, require machines and factories and offices. This production is often called capital-intensive, but it is really property-intensive, Olson observes. “No one would normally engage in capital-intensive production if he or she did not have rights that kept the valuable capital from being taken by bandits, whether roving or stationary,”he argues. “There is no private property without government—individuals may have possessions, the way a dog possesses a bone, but there is private property only if the society protects and defends a private right to that possession against other private parties and against the government as well.” Would-be entrepreneurs, no matter how small, also need a government and court system that will make sure people honor their contracts. In fact, the banking systems relied on by developed nations are based on just such an enforceable contract system. “We would not deposit our money in banks...if we could not rely on the bank having to honor its contract with us, and the bank would not be able to make the profits it needs to stay in business if it could not enforce its loan contracts with borrowers,” Olson writes. Other economists have argued that the poor economies of Third World and communist countries are the result of governments setting both prices and the quantities of goods produced rather than letting a free market determine them. Olson agrees there is some merit to this point of view, but he argues that government intervention is not enough to explain the poverty of these countries. Rather, the real problem is lack of individual rights that give people incentive to generate wealth. “If a society has clear and secure individual rights, there are strong incentives (刺激,动力)to produce, invest, and engage in mutually advantageous trade, and therefore at least some economic advance,” Olson concludes. 16. Which of the following is true about Olson? A. He was a fiction writer. B. He edited the book Power and Prosperity. C. He taught economics at the University of Maryland. D. He was against the ownership of private property. V,,iKr@TG

17. Which of the following represents Olson's point or view? A. Protecting individual property rights encourages wealth building. B. Only in wealthy societies do people have secure individual rights. C. Secure individual rights are brought about by the wealth of the society. D. In some countries, people don't have secure individual rights because they're poor. 18. What does Olson think about mass production? A. It's capital intensive. B. It's property intensive. C. It relies on individual labor. D. It relies on individual skills. 19. What is the basis for the banking system? A. Contract system that can be enforced. B. People's willingness to deposit money in banks. C. The possibility that the bank can make profits from its borrowers. D. The fact that some people have surplus money while some need loans. 20. According to Olson, what is the reason for the poor economies of Third World countries? A. government intervention B. lack of secure individual rights C. being short of capital D. lack of a free market "Vy\- ^

Text 5 Hurricanes are violent storms that cause millions of dollars in property damage and take many lives. They can be extremely dangerous, and too often people underestimate their fury. Hurricanes normally originate as a small area of thunderstorms over the Atlantic Ocean west of the Cape Verde Islands during August or September. For several days, the area of the storm increases and the air pressure falls slowly. A center of low pressure forms, and winds begin to whirl around it. It is blown westward, increasing in size and strength. Hurricane hunters then fly out to the storm in order to determine its size and intensity and to track its direction. They drop instruments for recording temperature, air pressure, and humidity (湿度), into the storm. They also look at the size of waves on the ocean, the clouds, and the eye of the storm. The eye is a region of relative calm and clear skies in the center of the hurricane. People often lose their lives by leaving shelter when the eye has arrived, only to be caught in tremendous winds again when the eye has passed. Once the forecasters have determined that it is likely the hurrican will reach shore, they issue a hurricane watch for a large, general area that may be in the path of the storm. Later, when the probable point of landfall is clearer, they will issue a hurricane warning for a somewhat more limited area. People in these areas are wise to stock up on nonperishable foods, flash light and radio batteries, candles, and other items they may need if electricity and water are not available after the storm. They should also try to hurricane-proof their houses by bringing in light-weight furniture and other items from outside and covering windows. People living in low-lying areas are wise to evacuate their houses because of the storm surge, which is a large rush of water that may come ashore with the storm. Hurricanes generally lose power 2?&ptN)`N

slowly while traveling over land, but many move out to sea, gather up force again, and return to land. As they move toward the north, they generally lose their identity as hurricanes. 21. The eye of the hurricane is__________. A. the powerful center of the storm B. the part that determines its direction C. the relatively calm center of the storm D. the center of low pressure 22. Which of the following statements is true? A. A storm surge is a dramatic increase in wind velocity. B. A hurricane watch is more serious than a hurricane warning. C. Falling air pressure is an indicator that the storm is increasing in intensity. D. It is safe to go outside once the eye has arrived. 23.

Text 6 Attacking an increasingly popular Internet business practice, a consumer watchdog group Monday filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, asserting that many online search engines are concealing the impact special fees have on search results by Internet users. Commercial Alert, a 3-year-old group founded by consumer activist Ralph Nader, asked the FTC to investigate whether eight of the Web' s largest search engines are violating federal laws against deceptive advertising. The group said that the search engines are abandoning objective formulas to determine the order of their listed results and selling the top spots to the highest bidders without making adequate disclosures to Web surfers. The complaint touches a hot-button issue affecting tens of millions of people who submit search queries each day. With more than 2 billion pages and more than 14 billion hyperlinks on the Web, search requests rank as the second most popular online activity after E-mail. The eight search engines named in Commercial Alert's complaint are: MSN, owned by Microsoft; Netscape, owned by AOL Time Warner; Directhit, owned by Ask Jeeves; HotBot and Lycos, both owned by Terra Lycos; Altavista, owned by CMGI; LookSmart, owned by LookSmart; and iWon, owned by a privately held company operating under the same name. Portland, Ore.-based Commercial Alert could have named more search engines in its complaint, but focused on the biggest sites that are auctioning off spots in their results, said Gary Ruskin, the group's executive director. “Search engines have become central in the quest for learning and knowledge in our society. The ability to skew (扭曲) the results in favor of hucksters (小贩)without telling epe}^Pl

consumers is a serious problem.” Ruskin said. By late Monday afternoon, three of the search engines had responded to The Associated Press' inquiries about the complaint. Two, LookSmart and AltaVista, denied the charges. Microsoft spokesman Matt Pilla said MSN is delivering “compelling search results that people want.” The FTC had no comment about the complaint Monday. The complaint takes aim at the new business plans embraced by more search engines as they try to cash in on their pivotal (关 键)role as Web guides and reverse a steady stream of losses. To boost revenue, search engines in the past year have been accepting payments from businesses interested in receiving a higher ranking in certain categories or ensuring that their sites are reviewed more frequently. 26. The consumer group complained about__________. A. special fees that Internet users were charged B. Federal Trade Commission C. Commercial Alert D. online search engines 27. __________is the most popular activity online. A. Sending pages of information B. Sending E-mail C. Surfing the net D. Selling the top spot 28. Which of the following is NOT a correct statement? A. There are too many pages or hyperlinks on the Internet, so people usually use search engine to find a certain site. B. More than 8 search engines are accused of selling their search engine spots by Commercial Alert. C. The headquarters of Commercial Alert is in Portland Oregon. D. The search engines are Web guides. 29. All the following share one similarity EXCEPT__________. A. LookSmart B. CMGI C. Altavista D. Microsoft 30. The primary aim of some companies’ sponsoring the search engines is to__________.

Almost all our major problems involve human behavior, and they cannot be solved by physical and biological technology alone. What is needed is a technology of behavior, but we have been slow to develop the science from which such a technology might be drawn. (1) One difficulty is that almost all of what is called behavioral science continues to trace behavior to states of mind, feelings, traits of character, human nature, and so on. Physics and biology once followed similar practices and advanced only when they discarded them. (2) The behavioral sciences have been slow to change partly because the explanatory items often seem to be directly observed and partly because other kinds of explanations have been hard to find. =$J2

The environment is obviously important, but its role has remained obscure. It does not push or pull, it selects, and this function is difficult to discover and analyze. (3) The role of natural selection in evolution was formulated only a little more than a hundred years ago, and the selective role of the environment in shaping and maintaining the behavior of the individual is only beginning to be recognized and studied. As the interaction between organism and environment has come to be understood, however, effects once assigned to states of mind, feelings, and traits are beginning to be traced to accessible conditions, and a technology of behavior may therefore become available. It will not solve our problems, however, until it replaces traditional prescientific views, and these are strongly entrenched. Freedom and dignity illustrate the difficulty. (4) They are the possessions of the autonomous (self-governing) man of traditional theory, and they are essential to practices in which a person is held responsible for his conduct and given credit for his achievements. A scientific analysis shifts both the responsibility and the achievement to the environment. It also raises questions concerning “values.” Who will use a technology and to what ends? (5) Until these issues are resolved, a technology of behavior will continue to be rejected, and with it possibly the only way to solve our problems. Z]CH8GS~<

了一系列实验”这一背景,本句承接上句指出了实验的目的是要研究“车间的灯光是如 何 工人的生产效率的”。下文主要围绕“什么因素影响改变工人的生产效率“展 开论述,因此只有 affect 符合句意;车间的灯光是无法“获得”、“提取”或“恢复”工 作效率的,选项 B、C、D 虽然可以与宾语 productivity 搭配构成动宾关系,但是不能与 主语 lighting 搭配构成主谓关系,因此可排除。正确答案为选项 A。 2.【答案】B 【选项释义】 [A](end) at… 在„„(某时间或时刻)结束 [B]( end) up (出乎意料的)结束 [C]( end )with 以„„结束 [D]( end )off 结束,终止 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本题考查的是关于 end 的四个词组的意义和用法的区别。四个词组中,end off 后面不能加动名词,因此先从语法上可排除选项 D;end at 后面多接表示时间的词, 因此可排除选项 A;end with 和 end up 后面都可接动名词,但 end up 侧重表示以出乎 意料的结果结束,由上下文可知,实验者并未得到预期的效果,而是得到了一个意想不 到的结果,因此填入 end up 更恰当。正确答案为选项 B。 3.【答案】C 【选项释义】 [A]truth 事实,真相;真理 [B]sight 情景,景象 [C]act 行为 [D]proof 证据 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本句的意思为“正是被用来做实验这一 改变了受试者的行为”。本题 的解题关键在of一词,因为of前后所指的是同一事物, of后面的being experimented upon 显然是动词 experiment 所构成词组的被动形式,表示的是一种动作行为,故只有 act 符 合。因此正确答案为选项 C。 4.【答案】B 【选项释义】 [A]controversial 具有争议的 [B]perplexing 令人费解的 [C]mischievous 调皮的,恶作剧的 [D]ambiguous 模棱两可的 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本句位于第二段的第一句,从第一段中无法找出解题的线索,因此只能在 下文中找。本句需要填入一个形容词来形容女工的行为,下文中提到,不管灯光变亮还 是变暗,女工们的工作效率都会提高,文中并没有提到有人对此提出异议,因此这种行 为不是“有争议的”,排除选项 A;女工们不是在搞恶作剧,因此也不是“调皮的”,排 除选项 C;ambiguous 通常指话语等“具有歧义的、模棱两可的、可以有多种理解的”, 此处的结果已经很明确,因此不是具有歧义的。通过分析上下文可知,科学家进行实验 想要得到的结果是灯光越亮效率越高,或者灯光越暗效率越高,而实验的真实结果却如 此出乎意料,因此可以用 perplexing(令人费解的)来形容。这也印证了第二题需要选 择的是表示“出乎意料”意味的 end up。因此正确答案为选项 B。 V\_

5.【答案】C 【选项释义】 [A]requirements 要求,需求 [B]explanations 解释 [C]accounts 描述,叙述 [D]assessments 评估,评价 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本句的含义为“根据实验的 ,当灯光变亮时,工人每小时的产出有所 增加,但当灯光变暗是,结果亦是如此。”本句叙述的是实验产生的结论,横线处填入 结论产生的依据。从实验的“要求”和“评估”中,是无法总结出实验结论的,因此可 排除选项 A、D。选项 B、C 相比,accounts 侧重于表示对事实、数据等的客观描述; explanation 侧重于对原因的解释,此处不需要解释原因,从对实验结果的“描述”中可 以得出结论,因此排除选项 B,正确答案为选项 C。 6.【答案】B 【选项释义】 [A]conclude 总结 [B]matter 要紧,关系重大 [C]indicate 表明,暗示 [D]work 奏效 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】it did not work(它不起作用)后面不能接 what 从句,因此从语法上可排除 选项 D。再看本句的意思,“实验中做了什么并不 , 有所变化,效率就会提 高”。选项 A、B、C 都可接宾语从句,其中 A 代入句中意为“没有总结出实验中做了 什么”; C 代入句中意为“没有暗示出试验中做了什么”,显然实验的目的不是要“总结” 或者“暗示”出实验中做了什么,而是要看做的这些改变有没有对工人的工作效率构成 影响,因此选项 A、C 放入句中也不符合句意,可排除。只有 matter 放入是合适的,意 为“实验中做了什么并不重要”,因此正确答案为 B。 7.【答案】D 【选项释义】 [A]as far as 至于,根据 [B]for fear that 以免,唯恐 [C]in case that 以防,以免 [D]so long as 只要 【考点透析】逻辑衔接题 【答案解析】本句的意思是,“实验中做了什么并不重要, 有所改变,效率就会提 高”,as far as 强调范围或根据;for fear that 和 in case that 引导表示目的的从句,as long as 强调条件。只有 as long as 填入是符合句意的,表示“只要有所改变,效率就会提高”。 因此正确答案为选项 D。 8.【答案】A 【选项释义】 [A]awareness 意识,知道 [B]expectation 期望,指望 [C]sentiment 情绪,观点 [D]illusion 幻觉 ReY K5J=O

【考点透析】词汇辨析题 【答案解析】本句承接前一句,其中 that 引导同位语从句用来做所填名词的同位语,从 句意为“他们被用来做实验”,这是一个客观存在的既定事实,因此 expectation“期望” 和 illusion“幻觉”不符合句意,可排除选项 B 和 D。选项 A 的 awareness 表示(知道 自己正在被做实验)这种意识;而选项 C 的 emotion 侧重表示某种具体的感情或情绪, 文中没有提到工人对被做实验这件事有什么情绪,因此 awareness 更加符合句意,正确 答案为选项 A。 9.【答案】C 【选项释义】 [A]suitable 合适的 [B]excessive 过度的 [C]enough 足够的 [D]abundant 丰富的,充分的 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本句的含义为“意识到自己被用来做实验 改变工人的行为”,所填形 容词用来修饰 awareness,说明这种意识对于改变工人的行为来说是怎样的。suitable 代 入后句意为“这种意识适合改变工人的行为”,不符合句意,因此选项 A 可排除;excessive 后面一般不接动词不定式,因此选项 B 可排除;abundant 意思是“丰富的”,也不符合 句意,因此选项 D 也可排除。enough 填入句中,表示“这种意识就足够改变工人的行 为”,在语义上最合适,因此正确答案为选项 C。 10.【答案】D 【选项释义】 [A]about [B]for [C]on [D]by 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本句的含义为“意识到自己被用来做实验这件事就足以改变工人的行为”, by itself 可以构成词组,意为“本身,自身”,代入句中用来强调“仅仅是这种意识本身”, 其他的三个选项“关于自身”、“为了自身”和“涉及自身”都不符合句意。因此正确答 案为 D。 11.【答案】C 【选项释义】 [A]compared 比较 [B]shown 展示 [C]subjected 经历,遭受 [D]conveyed 表达,传递 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本题考查四个选项与 be…to 搭配构成词组的含义,其意义分别为 be compared to…被比作„„;be shown to…被展示给„„;be subjected to…经历,遭受; be conveyed to…被运到„„。所填动词词组的宾语为 econometric analysis(计量经济学 分析),选项 A 从意义上不符合,可首先排除;选项 B、C、D 所要表达的意思是一样 的,即(霍桑实验的数据)接受了/被用于计量经济学的分析,但是选项 B、D 后面通 常接具体名词,而不是像 analysis 这样的抽象名词,因此也可以排除。be subjected to 表示“经历„„,遭受„„”与本句意义相符,因此正确答案为选项 C。 12.【答案】A 【选项释义】 gG}<l ':

[A]Contrary to 与„„相反 [B]Consistent with 与„„一致 [C]Parallel with 与„„平行 [D]Peculiar to 为„„所特有 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本句的含义为“ 实验记录的描述,没有发现‘工作效率水平与灯光的 改变有关’这种系统的 ”。根据上文可知,“灯光照明的变化可以改变工作效率 ” 是霍桑实验得出的结论,本句的后半句给予了否定,因此这应与实验记录的描述不同, 则选项 B、C 可排除。选项 D 虽然也可表示二者不同之意,但是“ 实验记录的描 述”在句中做状语,而 peculiar to 不能做状语,只能做表语或定语,因此从语法上可排 除选项 D。contrary to 在语法和意义上都适合,因此正确答案为选项 A。 13.【答案】A 【选项释义】 [A]evidence 证据 [B]guidance 指导,引导 [C]implication 含意,暗示 [D]source 来源 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本句中所填词语为句子的主语,谓语是 was found,that 引导同位语从句做 主语的同位语,句子的含义为“没有发现‘工作效率水平与灯光的改变有关’这种系统 的 ”。根据上文可知,单引号中的内容是霍桑实验得出的结论,它不是一种“指导”, 也不是一种“来源”,guidance 与 source 两词一般不做同位语从句的先行词,此处无法 用来作为 that 从句的同位语,因此可排除选项 B、C。implication 可以做同位语从句的 先行词,但是本句所表达的不是“没有找到这种暗示”,而霍桑实验的目的也不是要得 到一种“暗示”,因此选项 C 可排除。选项 A 代入句中,从语法和意义上都符合,因此 正确答案为选项 A。 14.【答案】D 【选项释义】 [A]disputable 可争论的 [B]enlightening 有启发性的 [C]reliable 可靠的 [D]misleading 误导的 【考点透析】语义衔接题 【答案解析】本题所选的形容词用来形容 interpretations(解释),由上下文可知,此处指 的是对 experiments 即霍桑实验的描述。四个选项中选项 A、D 为贬义,选项 B、C 为 褒义。由于本句紧紧承接第三段的内容,而第三段主要是对霍桑实验的结论提出质疑, 说明该结论没有有效的证据,因此此处用来修饰 interpretations 的词语应为贬义,选项 B、C 可先排除。disputable 意为具有争议的,上文中并未提到实验结果的争议性,因此 选项 A 也可排除;misleading 符合句意,说明对实验的解释具有误导性,所以才误导科 学家得出了错误的结论,因此正确答案为选项 D。 15.【答案】B 【选项释义】 [A]In contrast 相比之下 [B]For example 例如 uB%`Bx'OW
