1.Which one of the following can be concluded from review 2?
A. There is more than one narrator.
B. The book is a romance.
C. The reviewer thinks the book is perfect.
D. The author is a philosopher.
答案解析：A
Reviewer 2 mentions that the book has "alternating narrators", meaning the book has more than
one narrator,therefore (a) is correct.Although the reviewer mentions that the author managed to
build a "romantic world", this does not mean that the book is a romance; thus distracter(b) is
incorrect.The reviewer also says the author was too philosophical at times.However,this does not
mean she is a philosopher; thus
distracter(C) is also incorrect.Distracter(d) is incorrect because the reviewer only gave the book 4
stars (out of 5), and mentions one of the book's weaknesses.
2.on which one of the following statements do review 1 and 3 agree?
A. The book emphasises a love of ant and philosophy.
B. Some parts of the book are not as good as others.
C. The book deserves an excellent recommendation.
D. There were at least two characters in the book.
答案解析：B
Reviewer 1 mentions that she "wasn't sure what to make of the ending", while reviewer 3
mentions that he struggle(d) with the first 70-80 pages".Therefore the correct answer is (b).
Distracter(a) isn't correct because it isn't mentioned by any reviewer.
Reviewer 1 merely admires the philosophical observations in the book (as does reviewer 3 in a
way), but this does not imply that the book emphasises the importance of philosophy.
Distracter(C) isn't correct because it is only true for reviewer 3, who gave the book 5 stars.
Distracter (d) isn't correct because only reviewer 1 refers to the fact that there are two main
characters in the book- a young one and an old one.3. What is NOT mentioned as one of the book's weaknesses?
A. The ending is ambiguous.
B. The writing is too sentimental.
C. The book is overly philosophical.
D. The beginning isn't captivating.
答案解析：B
Reviewer 1 mentions that he "wasn't sure what to make of the ending", therefore distracter (a)
is eliminated.Reviewer 3 notes that"the author allowed herself to become overly philosophical
at times" , eliminating distracter(C).Reviewer 3 also states that"I struggled with the first 70-80
pages", eliminating distracter (d).The remaining (correct) answer is: (b).
4.Which one of the following statements is true about tardy people, based on the text?
A. They are disrespectful.
B. They are mostly corporate CEOs.
C. They may cause financial loss.
D. They are affected by culture.
答案解析：C
The passage states that: "productivity loss related to lateness can cause economic loss",
therefore (C) is correct.Distracter (a) isn't correct because although tardy people can be
considered disrespectful by others, this does not necessarily mean that they actually are
disrespectful.Distracter (b) isn't correct because the passage suggests that the tardiness trend
also affects CEOS, it does not state that most tardy people are CEOs.
Distracter(d) isn't correct because the passage does not mention the reasons for being tardy.
5.Which one of the following can be concluded from the text?
A. In the past, people were not tardy.
B. Today,people are more accepting of tardiness.
C. Some cultures still try to discourage tardiness.
D. Fighting tardiness has proven fruitful.
答案解析：C
The passage states that: "In many cultures today, trying to fight or discourage lateness has been
determined ineffective." Therefore we are able to conclude that some countries are still trying to
discourage tardiness.Distracter(a) isn't correct because although the passage states thatpunctuality is a disappearing virtue, we are not able to conclude that people were not tardy in
the past.Distracter(b) isn't correct because the passage actually implies the opposite: that
people consider tardiness as disrespect.
Distracter (d) isn't correct because the passage states otherwise- "fighting tardiness has become
a lost cause".
6.Which of these words means the same as "chronic" in the first paragraph of the text?
A. Sickness B. Demanding C. Tring D. Persistent
答案解析：D
The meaning of the word "chronic" in the context of the passage is "subject to a habit or pattern
of behaviour for a long time".The word "persistent" has a similar meaning.
7.Which of these words mean the same as affect' in the first paragraph of the text?
A. Intimidate B. Influence C. Control D. Impress

The meaning of the word affect' in the context is: influence.
8.Which one of the following is NOT a risk factor of workplace violence?
A. Working late
B. Working in public serice
C. Working alone
D. Working part-time
答案解析：D
The passage lists some of the risk factors contributing to workplace violence:
Providing services and care to the public Working alone or in isolated areas
Working late at night or in areas with high crime rates The passage does not
mention part-time work as one of the risk factors.
9.Employers should fire workers who use violence in the workplace.
A. True B. False
C. Not possible to say if the statement is true or false on the basis of the passage
答案解析：C
The passage states that establishing a zero-tolerance policy toward workplace violence is a
means of protection against workplace violence.However, the passage does not explain the
meaning of a"zero-tolerance policy".Therefore we don't have enough information to assume that
the consequence of workplace violence is getting fired.10.Which one of the following is NOT true regarding the dolphins?
A. They are present all year round.
B. They are especially friendly when fed.
C. They are friendly to tourists.
D. They can be found in Zanzibar.
答案解析：C
The passage mentions that bottle nose dolphins are "present throughout the year"; thus
distracter(a) is eliminated.It also states that the dolphins are friendly and that tourists are often
able to swim with them;therefore distracter(C) is also eliminated.Since the passage deals with a
conservation area in Zanzibar, it is also true that dolphins can be found there.(b) is the correct
answer because the passage states otherwise:
"Though friendly in nature, the dolphins can sometimes be surrounded by up to 20 boats
chasing after them, and this can cause them stress,particularly when they are feeding".
11.Which of the following is an assumption made in the last paragraph?
A. Dolphins are great animals.
B. Stress is harmful to dolphins.
C. Dolphins are able to cope with stress.
D. Dolphin are dangerous animals.
答案解析：B
The passage mentions that when dolphins are crowded in they tend to get stressed;
thus, the aim of the African marine conservation project is to monitor interaction between
dolphins and humans.The missing link in the logic of this sentence is the belief that stress may
harm dolphins; this explains why the project monitors human- dolphin interaction.All other
distracters are either unrelated to the conclusion found in this paragraph or are simply untrue.
12.How many of the following are mentioned in the text as tourist activities?
Swimming with dolphins
Whale watching
Dolphin watching
Fishing
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
答案解析：B
According to the following paragraph:"The dolphins...have become a major tourist
attraction.Tourists go out in fishing boats to see these dolphins, and often jump into the water toswim with them", there are two tourist activities mentioned in the text:
dolphin watching and swimming with dolphins.Although whales and fishing boats are mentioned
in the passage, it does not state that they are part of tourist activities and attractions (the
passage fails to provide this information).

答案解析：A
The first paragraph opens with a sentence concerning food critics in general,then goes on to
describe bloggers, as a unique "food critic" category,with their distinct characteristics.Therefore
the correct summary of this paragraph is: (a).
The paragraph does not emphasis the importance of food critics, nor does it compare different
types of food critics.Therefore,distracters (b).(C) and (d) are incorrect.
2.Which of these words mean the same as""elusive" in the second paragraph of the
text?

答案解析：CThe passage states in the first paragraph that bloggers post their reviews on the internet; thus
distracter (a) is eliminated.The second paragraph mentions that bloggers "blog about their
experience"; therefore distracter (b) is also eliminated.
It is also mentions that,"There are hundreds in London alone," eliminating distracter(d).Thus, we
are left with answer (C), which cannot be found in the text.
4.How many of the following are NOT mentioned as products avoided by vegans?
A. Fur B. Fruit C. Meat D. Milk
A .1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
答案解析：A
According to the passage,veganism excludes "meat, eggs,dairy products" and "animal- derived
ingredients".From this statement we can conclude that vegans avoid meat, milk and fur, which
are animal-derived products.Thus the answer is(a), as vegans do not avoid fruits, as noted in the
second paragraph.
5.Based on the text, which statement is definitely true?

word that is closest in meaning to this definition is:"unlimited".7.Which one of these could NOT be regarded as a logical conclusion of the text?
A. You cannot advertise on Facebook without an account
B. Google reaches more active buyers than Facebook.
C. Facebook is pular among young people.
D. You can communicate with customers by witing posts.
答案解析：C
According to the passage, the first step in order to advertise on Facebook is to open an
account.Therefore, you can conclude almost definitely that you cannot advertise on Facebook
without one;therefore, distracter(a) is eliminated.The first paragraph states that "Some people
prefer to advertise on Google, where they can find more active buyers (in comparison to
Facebook)"; thus we can conclude that distracter (b) is also a logical conclusion."Step
3"describes
Facebook posts as a way to reach out to customers; thus distracter (d)is also a solid
conclusion.We are left with answer(C), which is not mentioned in the text, and is an incorrect
conclusion (and so is the correct answer to the question).
8.Which one of the following is mentioned as an objective of a company's profile page?
A. Establishing new connections
B. Posting pictures
C. Finding investors
D. Researching rival companies
答案解析：A
The company's profile page is detailed in "step 2".Let's examine it closely:" Set up a Facebook
profile page to represent your company or service.On your Page,you can promote items or
services, interact with established customers, and create opportunities to reach new customers."
The only answer that corresponds with this paragraph is (a),since "establishing new connections"
is equivalent to "reach[ing] new customers".

答案解析：A
The passage deals with travelling not only as a means of enjoyment but as a human necessity
that allows us to change the way we think through experiencing new cultures.
Understanding this quick summary of the text will help us arrive at the correct answer, which is
(a)(as this is not a logical conclusion of the text).All other distracters are valid conclusions.

The act of leaving food on the plate is described in the second paragraph.In China leaving food
on the plate signals that there was enough food.In America, it is an insult, indicating the food
wasn't tasty.Statement a is the only statement that is untrue, as this act is not always regarded
as a compliment.
12.People travel because they enjoy traveling.
A. True B. False
C. Not possible to say if the statement is true or false on the basis of the passage
答案解析：A
Although the passage focuses on a different reason for travelling (broadening the mind), it

we also travel for other reasons.
材料3第三组 12题
1.Which one of the following statements is definitely correct in light of the text?
A. Women desire things more than men because of their biology.
B. Advertisements are the only reason we continuously desire things.
C. Experience may be one of the reasons we change our preferences.
D. There can only be one theory explaining human desires.
答案解析：A
In this type of question we have no choice but to go over each distracter and find out whether it
is a statement that was explicitly made in the text or not.
Distracter(a)- refers to the biological explanation.While the biological explanation uses the
women's food preference changes as an example of the way biology influences desires, it does
not say that women desire things more than men.Therefore, this is an incorrect distracter.
Distracter(b)- refers to the economic explanation.While the economic explanation does mention
advertisements as a means to encourage our desires, it cannot be concluded that
advertisements are the only reason for our desires.
Thus,this distracter is incorrect.
Distracter(C)- refers to the behavioural explanation.Behavioural psychologists offer the notion
that experience may be the reason we change our preferences. Therefore this distracter is
correct.
Distracter(d) is incorrect because clearly there are quite a few theories offering
an explanation to the question: why do people desire things?"
2. Which one of the following can be concluded from the economic theory?
A. We want the things we need.
B. Advertisements use lies to sell products.
C. The economy is booming because of advertisements.
D. We are influenced by advertisements.
答案解析：D
Economists contend that the reason people desire things is because they are influenced by
advertisements to believe that the things they want are things that they actually need.The only
answer that corresponds with this idea is answer(d).3.Which of these words means the same as "moulding" in the fourth sentence of the
second paragraph?
A. Moving B. Causing C. Infuncing D. Manipulating
答案解析：C
The meaning of the word "moulding" in the context of the passage has a similar meaning to the
word: "influencing".
4.Which one of the following would all reviewers agree was enjoyable?
A. The movie script
B. The beginning of the move
C. The end of the movie
D. The moral message of the movie
答案解析：B
Two reviewers (1& 3)specifically mention the beginning of the movie as enjoyable, to some
extent,while reviewer 2 found the entire movie enjoyable:
Reviewer 1:"(the comedy) starts off fine...
Reviewer 2:"Consistently amusing”
Reviewer 3:"This has a script that initially manages a surprise or two"
Therefore the correct answer is (b).
5.Which one of the following statements do reviewer 1 and reviewer 3 agree on?
A. The movie wasn't funny.
B. The movie exceeded expectations.
C. The movie wasn't original.
D. The movie was amateurish.
答案解析：C
Both reviewers 1 and 3 gave the movie a "thumbs down".Therefore distracter(b)is
eliminated.Both, however, agree that the movie was somewhat funny,at least in the
beginning.This eliminates distracter (a).
Reviewer 1 criticised the lack of originality and the moral message of the movie,while reviewer 3
mainly criticised the script, saying it lacked ideas and good jokes.The only suitable answer is
answer(C)- as both reviewers agree that the movie lacked innovation and creativity.6. What is NOT mentioned as one of the movie's weaknesses?
A. Predictable script B. Dubious moral C. Vulgar humour D. Bad acting
答案解析：D
Reviewer 2 talks about an unoriginal comedy."this comedy plays it relatively safe by leaning on
solid, yet predictable,comedic concepts", which is compatible with distracter (a).Reviewer 1
questions the moral message of the movie:" It's worth pondering whether the target audience
will be able to grasp that the moral here-that crime does pay,as long as you're funny - isn't meant
to be taken seriously",which is compatible with distracter(b).Review 3 dislikes the movie's sense
of humour:"From there on,the movie just goes downhill, succumbing to rude,mediocre jokes",
which is compatible with distracter(C).The only criticism not mentioned by any of the reviewers
is
answer(d)- the acting.
7.Based on the text, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of online
marketing?
A. Low-cost B. Fast C. Simple D. Flexible
答案解析：D
The benefits of online marketing are mentioned in TWO different places in the passage:
(1) as bullets under the header "Advantages and benefits", and (2) secreted in the first
paragraph.Distracters (b) and (d)are found in the bullets sections, while distracter(a) can be
found in the first paragraph: "The main objective of online marketing advertisements is to utilise
a campaign strategy at the lowest possible cost".The only distracter not mentioned in the text is:
distracter (C).
8.How many of the following are mentioned in the text as tools for improving online
campaign effectiveness?
Simple content
Short content
Short domain name
Simple words
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4答案解析：B
There is a separate section in the passage offering tools for improving online campaign
effectiveness.Let us go over each tool offered in the question and then locate them in that
section of the text:
The first and second tools("simple/short content")deal with content.Clauses 3 and 4 in the
section both deal with content.Content, according to the text,should be (1) updated frequently
(2) simple,and(3) brief/short.Thus, both tools are correct.
The third tool ("short domain name")deals with the domain name.Clause 1 in the section deals
with the domain name as well; the domain name, according to the text, should be simple and
memorable.Therefore, this tool is incorrect.
The fourth tool ("simple words")deals with wording.The corresponding section in the text does
not specify any recommendations regarding the use of words, and so this tool is also incorrect.
In conclusion, there are 2 correct tools in this question and thus (b) is the correct answer.
9.Online marketing maximises sales.
A. True B. False
C. Not possible to say if the statement is true or false on the basis of the passage
答案解析：C
The passage focuses on online marketing as an effective means of increasing sales:"The main
objective of online marketing advertisements is...to increase sales and generate higher profits."
However,this does not necessarily imply that online advertisements actually increase
sales.Therefore the correct answer is(C).
10.Which one of the following best summarises the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. It underlines the process of regeneration of the vllage's lands.
B. It describes the new inhabitants of the vllage.
C. It compares the number of predators to the number of herbivores.
D. It outlines the reasons for the vllage' s relocation.
答案解析：B
The third paragraph describes the village following the departure of its human inhabitants.It
does not outline the reasons for the relocation of the former inhabitant (this is given in the
second paragraph), nor does it compare different types of animals or talk about regeneration of
the land.Paragraph 3 merely describes the new village inhabitants - animals.Therefore, distracter(b) is correct.
11.Which of the flowing is NOT true regarding the vllage of Ramdegi, based on the
text?
A. It was a faming vlalea
B. It compised about 200 familis.
C. It was located in a tiger reseve.
D. It is now uninhabited.
答案解析：B
In this type of questions it is best to go over each distracter and try to locate it in the passage to
see if it is explicitly mentioned there:
Distracter (a)- the first paragraph describes the village of Ramdegi as"a bustling farming
community".Therefore this is a true distracter and consequently the wrong answer.
Distracter (b)- the content of this distracter appears in the second paragraph:
"Last month, everyone in Ramdegi did just that: some 200 families agreed to accept incentive
packages and move".The combination of "everyone" and"some 200 families"
brings us to the conclusion that the village comprised 200 families.Therefore,this is a true
distracter and consequently the wrong answer.
Distracter(C) mentioned in the first paragraph: "the village of Ramdegi was a bustling farming
community in central India's famous Tiger Reserve".This is also a true distracter,and
consequently the wrong answer.
Thus,the correct answer is distracter(d) which is untrue.This is a little confusing but notice that
the statement does not say that the village is uninhabited by people, rather that it is uninhabited
altogether and that is why it is a false statement.
12.Which one of the following is an assumption made by the author in the third
paragraph?
A. Humans can be violent towards animals.
B. Tigers are quiet animals.
C. Tigers ually kill humans.
D. Humans are considerate of wildlife.
答案解析：A
The paragraph presents the following logic: A tiger has been spotted in the empty village.It is no
longer endangered by conflicts with humans.The missing assumption here is that humans can be
violent towards animals.Therefore answer (a) is correct.
