A.WhoAretoBlamefortheStrikes
B.ConstantComplainingDoesn’tWork
C.CanNationalisationBringHope
D.Ever-RisingFaresAren’tSustainable
21.【答案】D(remainsanunreasonablemeasure)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词railpassengersfares定位到第一段①句。①句没有体现作者的观点,因此往下看一句,定位到②句:Ithasbecomeagrimlyreliableannualritual...imposingasignificantextraburdenonthose...由grimly(冷酷地,讨厌地)和asignificantextraburden(一个巨大的额外负担)可知,作者对铁路乘客车费上涨的态度是负面的。再根据题干关键词thisyear’sincrease定位到第一段③句:Thisyear’srise,anaverageof2.7percent,maybeafractionlowerthanlastyear’s,butitisstillwellabovetheofficialConsumerPriceIndex(CPI)measureofinflation.(今年平均2.7%的上涨,也许比去年的上涨稍微低一些,但是它仍然远远高于官方消费者物价指数衡量的通货膨胀程度)。由此进一步确定车费上涨是unreasonable(不合理的)。所以本题选D。
22.【答案】B(railtravellers)
【解析】本题为例证题。根据题干关键词stockbroker定位到例子所在句,即第二段②句:Why...shouldacar-drivingpensioner...havetosubsidisethedailycommuteofastockbroker...(为什么一个开车的养老金领取者必须要补贴一个股票经纪人的日常通勤呢)再找到前面的论点句:Successivegovernmentshavepermittedsuchincreasesonthegroundsthatthecostofinvestinginandrunningtherailnetworkshouldbebornebythosewhouseit,ratherthanthegeneraltaxpayer(历届政府允许这种上涨,因为投资和运营铁路网的成本应该由使用它的人们来承担,而不是一般纳税人)。这段论述认为,没有使用铁路网的一般纳税人如开车的养老金领取者不应该承担铁路网成本,使用铁路网的人如股票经纪人才应该承担此成本。定位句中的stockbroker指的就是论点句中的thosewhouseit。所以本题选B。
23.【答案】C(havefailedtoprovideanadequateservice)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词trainoperators定位到第三段②句:Itisallverywelltrainoperatorstrumpetingtheimprovementstheyaremakingtothenetwork,butpassengersshouldbeabletoexpectabasiclevelofserviceforthesubstantialsumstheyarenowpayingtotravel(火车运营商宣扬他们对铁路网作出的改进无可非议,但考虑到乘客如今为出行支付的大量费用,他们理应能够期待基本水平的服务)。可见,火车运营商没能提供合格的服务。所以本题选C。
24.【答案】D(achangeofownership)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词Ifunabletocalmdownpassengers定位到第四段④句:Thethreatofnationalisationmayhavebeenseenofffornow,butitwillreturnwithavengeanceifthejustifiedangerofpassengersisnotaddressedinshortorder(国有化的威胁也许暂时可以避免,但是,如果乘客的正当愤怒不能被立即解决,这种威胁会卷土重来)。Ifunabletocalmdownpassengers是ifthejustifiedangerofpassengersisnotaddressedinshortorder的同义表达。可见,如果铁路公司不能让乘客镇静下来,铁路公司将会面临国有化的威胁,即所有权的变更。所以本题选D。
25.【答案】D(Ever-RisingFaresAren’tSustainable)

LastyearmarkedthethirdyearinarowofwhenIndonesia’sbleakrateofdeforestationhasslowedinpace.Onereasonfortheturnaroundmaybethecountry’santipovertyprogram.
In2007,Indonesiastartedphasinginaprogramthatgivesmoneytoitspoorestresidentsundercertainconditions,suchasrequiringpeopletokeepkidsinschoolorgetregularmedicalcare.CalledconditionalcashtransfersorCCTs,thesesocialassistanceprogramsaredesignedtoreduceinequalityandbreakthecycleofpoverty....InIndonesia,theprogramhasprovidedenoughfoodandmedicinetosubstantiallyreduceseveregrowthproblemsamongchildren.
ButCCTprogramsdon’tgenerallyconsidereffectsontheenvironment.Infact,povertyalleviationandenvironmentalprotectionareoftenviewedasconflictinggoals,saysPaulFerraro,aneconomistatJohnsHopkinsUniversity.

A.Theeffectsofaprogram.
B.Thedebatesoveraprogram.
C.Theprocessofastudy.
D.Thetransferabilityofastudy.
26.【答案】B(helppoorfamiliesgetbetteroff)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词firsttwoparagraphs,CCTprograms和aimto定位到第二段②句,其中aimto对应aredesignedto:CalledconditionalcashtransfersorCCTs,thesesocialassistanceprogramsaredesignedtoreduceinequalityandbreakthecycleofpoverty。helppoorfamiliesgetbetteroff是对breakthecycleofpoverty的同义替换。所以本题选B。
27.【答案】D(economicgrowthtendstocauseenvironmentaldegradation)
【解析】本题为例证题。根据题干关键词ThestudybasedonanareainMexico定位到第四段③句,再找到前面的论点句:That’sbecauseeconomicgrowthcanbecorrelatedwithenvironmentaldegradation,whileprotectingtheenvironmentissometimescorrelatedwithgreaterpoverty。所以本题选D。
28.【答案】C(therelationofCCTstoitsforestloss)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词Indonesia和Ferraro,并结合题文同序原则定位到第五段②句:FerrarowantedtoseeifIndonesia’spoverty-alleviationprogramwasaffectingdeforestation。therelationofCCTstoitsforestloss是对Indonesia’spoverty-alleviationprogramwasaffectingdeforestation的同义替换,其中CCTs对应Indonesia’spoverty-alleviationprogram,forestloss对应deforestation。所以本题选C。
29.【答案】C(itcanprotecttheenvironment)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词Ferraro,program和valuable定位到第八段④句:Evenifthisprogramdidn’treducepoverty,hesays,“thevalueoftheavoideddeforestationjustforcarbondioxideemissionsaloneismorethantheprogramcosts.”。由④句可知,Ferraro认为“即使CCT项目不能减少贫困,仅就二氧化碳排放量而言,避免森林砍伐的价值也超过了该项目的成本”。故可推知Ferraro认为CCT项目能够保护环境,因此具有重要价值。所以本题选C。
30.【答案】A(Theeffectsofaprogram.)

31.【答案】A(changedpeople’simpressionoftheVictorians)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词Paragraph1和theauthor’spostsonTwitter定位到第一段②句:I’vefoundquiteafew,and—sinceIstartedpostingthemonTwitter—theyhavebeencausingquiteastir。③句进一步解释stir,即PeoplehavebeensurprisedtoseeevidencethatVictorianshadfunandcould,anddid,laugh。A项changedpeople’simpressionoftheVictorians是对该句的概括。所以本题选A。
32.【答案】B(Theyarerareamongphotographsofthatage.)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词theVictorianportraitshehascollected定位到第二段①句中的mycollectionof‘SmilingVictorians’makesuponlyatinypercentageofthevastcatalogueofphotographicportraiturecreatedbetween1840and1900。Theyarerareamongphotographsofthatage是对makesuponlyatinypercentageofthevastcatalogueofphotographicportraiturecreatedbetween1840and1900的概括总结。所以本题选B。

34.【答案】A(adeep-rootbelief)
【解析】本题为例证题。根据题干关键词MarkTwain定位到第六段②句,该句引用了MarkTwain的具体话语。再向前寻找他所要证明的观点,从而定位到第六段①句Atoothygrin(especiallywhenthereweregapsorblackenedteeth)lackedclass,即“露齿微笑缺少修养”,这是一种根深蒂固的观念,对应A项adeep-rootbelief。所以本题选A。

D.Broadbandproviders’rightsshouldbeprotected.
36.【答案】C(showpartialityintreatingclients)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词longbeenconcernthatbroadbandproviders定位到第一段①句:Fromtheearlydaysofbroadband,advocatesforconsumersandweb-basedcompaniesworriedthatthecableandphonecompaniessellingbroadbandinternetconnectionshadthepowerandincentivetofavortheirownortheirpartners’websitesandservicesoverthoseoftheirrivals,题干中long与文中Fromtheearlydaysofbroadband对应,concern与worried对应,thecableandphonecompaniessellingbroadbandinternetconnections与broadbandproviders对应。showpartialityintreatingclients(不公平对待客户)是对favortheirownortheirpartners’websitesandservicesoverthoseoftheirrivals(相对于竞争对手的网站和服务,它们偏袒自己或合作伙伴的)的合理推断。所以本题选C。
37.【答案】B(takesananti-regulatorystance)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词neutralityrules和theFCC定位到第二段③④句,且由④⑤句TheRepublican-pennedorder…Theorderalso…可知,⑤句与④句并列。③句指出“在哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院问题的焦点是FCC针对网络中立性的最新观点”;④句阐释FCC的最新观点(其中句首TheRepublican-pennedorder字面意思为“由共和党执笔的规定”,根据④句提到的whenithadaDemocraticmajorityin2015,即“2015年民主党人占FCC的多数”可推知,TheRepublican-pennedorder出台时共和党人占FCC的多数,故The…order指代“FCC的规定”,也即③句所述FCC的最新观点):不仅取消了严格的网络中立性规则,而且拒绝了该委员会要求宽带提供商除了披露其服务信息之外做其他任何事情的权力;⑤句补充指出:该规定还宣布州和地方政府也不能监管宽带提供商。综上可推知,FCC采取反监管立场。所以本题选B。
【注】本题也可借助第五段首句提到的theFCC’sattempttoblockallstaterulesonnetneutrality(FCC试图阻止所有关于网络中立性的州规)解题,据此推知FCC的立场是“反对监管”。
38.【答案】B(Itengagesinanti-competitivepractices.)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词AT&T定位到第三段①句:ThecommissionarguedthattheFederalTradeCommissionandtheU.S.DepartmentofJusticewouldprotectconsumersandwebsitesagainstanti-competitivebehavior,suchasabroadband-providingconglomeratelikeAT&Tfavoringitsownvideo-streamingserviceattheexpenseofNetflixandAppleTV。由suchas引出事例的功能可知,abroadband-providingconglomeratelikeAT&Tfavoringitsownvideo-streamingservice...是以AT&T为例,对anti-competitivebehavior(反竞争行为)予以说明,因此可知AT&T参与了反竞争行为。所以本题选B。
39.【答案】D(isoutoftouchwithreality)
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词JudgePatriciaMillett定位到第四段②句:ButJudgePatriciaMillettrightlyarguedinaconcurringopinionthat“theresultisunhingedfromtherealitiesofmodernbroadbandservice,”andsaid...,结合①句(OnTuesday,theappealscourtunanimouslyupheldthe2017order...)可知,引号中theresult指代题干中的theappealscourt’sdecision。isoutoftouchwithreality(脱离现实)是对isunhingedfromtherealitiesofmodernbroadbandservice(脱离了现代宽带服务的现实)的同义替换。所以本题选D。
40.【答案】A(Congressneedstotakeactiontoensurenetneutrality.)
【解析】本题为推断题。根据thelastparagraph定位到最后一段。本段首句指出“没完没了的法律斗争和联邦通信委员会的反反复复迫切需要国会采取行动”,第二句进一步介绍国会应采取的行动(句首It指代Congress):需要给予委员会明确的权力,一劳永逸地禁止宽带提供商干预其网络上的流量,并制定明确的规则来保护网络的开放性和创新。Congressneedstotakeactiontoensurenetneutrality(国会需要采取行动确保网络中立)是对本段内容的合理推断,其中takeaction与首句中act对应,toensurenetneutrality是对tobarbroadbandprovidersfrommeddlinginthetrafficontheirnetworkandtocreateclearrulesprotectingopennessandinnovationonline的概括总结。所以本题选A。

41.【答案】G(AIlooksatrésumésingreaternumbersthan...)
【解析】
41题标题为Betterhiringpractices(更好的雇佣选择),空前有hiringdecisions(雇佣决定)和interviews(面试),这些话题与G项résumés(简历)和candidates(候选者)相符,且在文意上也是顺承。所以本题选G。
42.【答案】C(TherearealsocompanieslikeAcquisio,whichanalyzes...)
42题空前提到OnecompanyintheUK,Phrasee(一家在英国名为Phrasee的公司),与C项中TherearealsocompanieslikeAcquisio(也有像Acquisio这样的公司)匹配。所以本题选C。
43.【答案】E(Before,theymightnotinsuretheoneswhofeltlikeahighrisk...)
43题空前提到Insurancecompany(保险公司)和risk(风险)等词,与E项insure(承保)和highrisk(高风险)匹配,且43题空前和E项都是围绕“AI对保险公司和保险人的帮助”展开的。所以本题选E。
44.【答案】B(Oneaccountingfirm,EY,usesanAIsystemthathelpsreview...)
44题的小标题Improvedaccuracy(提高准确性)与B项中isfasterandmoreaccurate(更快更准确)相匹配,且B项...anAIsystem...helpsreviewcontractsduringanaudit...isfasterandmoreaccurate(AI系统在审计期间帮助审查合同,更快更准确)是一个论证AI提高准确性的事例,与本段小标题即中心相符。所以本题选B。

【重难点】本句的主句为thosesocieties…enrollment,定语从句thathadbeen…decadesbeforethewar修饰levelsofenrollment;其中,thosesocieties指代前句Westernsocieties,译为“这些西方社会”,thewar指代前文WWII(第二次世界大战),译为“二战”,enrollment意为“入学”,withlevelsofenrollment为状语,修饰cameoutof。

50.Highgrowthratesincreasedthechancesforacademicinnovation;theyalsoweakenedtheformsandprocessesbywhichteachersandstudentsareadmittedintoacommunityofscholarsduringperiodsofstabilityorslowgrowth.
第二次世界大战是现代西方社会高等教育的分水岭。(46)战争结束后,这些西方社会有一定的高等教育水平,在战前几十年间,该水平大概保持在相对年龄群体的3%到5%。但在二战之后,反法西斯战争的胜利引起了巨大的社会和政治变革,这使欧洲和美国的经济对接受过中学以上教育的毕业生需求越来越大。(47)在这些社会中兴起的接受高等教育的需求,扩展到了一些群体和社会阶层,这些群体和社会阶层在战前没想过上大学。这些需求导致了高等教育系统的迅速扩张——始于20世纪60年代,到20世纪70年代和80年代虽不均衡但发展得十分迅猛。
以上三种增长的相应表现都伴随着其特有的问题。例如,高增长率对现有的管理、行政、尤其是社会化结构造成很大的压力。当一个学院或系在三到四年内,从比如说5名成员发展到20名成员时,(49)且当新员工主要是刚从研究生阶段毕业的年轻男女时,他们很大程度上决定了该院系的学术生活规范。如果研究生人数也增长迅速,教师和学生之间将失去亲密的学徒关系,学生文化将成为研究生新生的主要社交力量,这会影响学校的思想和学术生活——这些影响在美国、法国、意大利、西德和日本都能看到。(50)高增长率增加了学术创新的可能性,同样也弱化了形式和过程——稳定或缓慢增长期学者团体接收教师或学生的形式和过程。20世纪60年代和70年代,欧洲大学的管理措施发生了显著的变化,赋予了初级教员和一定量的学生权力。
