statementistrue?

A.Womenreadlessthanmen.

B.Readingbecomesmoreandmorefemale-centered.

C.Mostliteratureaimsatwomen.

0.Women'scharacteristicsleadtotheirhobbyofreading.

答案:B［解析］根據(jù)第一段第一句"Itseemsclearthatliterature

hasbecomemoreandmoreafemaleactivity."可知,B項(xiàng)正確。

A項(xiàng)與原文意思相反，根據(jù)第一段第三句"...middle-classwomen

readmorebecause../可知,應(yīng)把"more"換成"fewer";C項(xiàng)

屬無(wú)中生有；D項(xiàng)有一定迷惑性，但characteristics一詞用得過(guò)于

寬泛，文中也沒(méi)有直接的信息可以推斷出是女人們的性格導(dǎo)致了她們

讀書(shū)的喜好。

12.Theauthorconsiderstraditionalexplanation.

［大學(xué)英語(yǔ)考試復(fù)習(xí)資料］專升本英語(yǔ)分類模擬71

B.showwomenalwaysdevotethetimetofantasyandillusion

C.illustratethephenomenonthatliteratureismoreafemale

答案:C［解析］由題干關(guān)鍵詞"Spain"定位至第二段前兩句"Thisis

thecasealmosteverywhere/這里的thecase即指第一段第一句

的內(nèi)容，因而選C項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)具有一定的迷惑性，但是表述沒(méi)有C項(xiàng)

全面；B項(xiàng)雖然在文中都有提及，但是和題干關(guān)系不大；D項(xiàng)更非作

14.What'stheauthor'sattitudetowardsthepeoplewho

［大學(xué)英語(yǔ)考試復(fù)習(xí)資料］專升本英語(yǔ)分類模擬71

A.Pitiful.

B.Angry.

C.Agreeable.

D.AIIergic.

答案:A［解析］由題干關(guān)鍵詞"wh。don'tread"定位至第二段最后

一句”...Ifeelsorryforthesemen,andforthemillionsof

humanbeingswhocouldreadbuthavedecidednottoread?

答案在第一段。其中"sorry"和"pitiful"意思相近，故選A。D指

的是作者反感的是將男女生硬地區(qū)分對(duì)待的解釋，不合題意；B、C

和這句話中所透露的作者的態(tài)度相差太遠(yuǎn)，故排除。

15.ItcanbeinferredfromPara.3that.

A.asocietywhichlacksliteratureisanidealsociety

B.ifasocietylacksliterature,thefreedomcannotbe

guaranteed

C.literatureisaluxurypastime

D.literatureisnotanecessityinademocraticsociety

答案:B［解析］本題就第三段進(jìn)行提問(wèn)。由該段中"...isasociety

condemned...tojeopardizeitsfreedom"可判斷,B是正確的。

A不符合事實(shí);由該段倒數(shù)第二行"asoneofthemost...mind"

可知，讀書(shū)是一種基本需求，而不是奢侈的娛樂(lè)，故排除C;由該段

倒數(shù)第一、二行”...anirreplaceableactivity...democraticsociety"

可知，文學(xué)對(duì)于民主社會(huì)來(lái)說(shuō)是必需的，故排除D。

D.toshowoftheirwealth

答案:A［解析］從文章第三段首句："Peoplewhotakepartin

答案:C［解析］從文章第三段中："...andfollowstrictcodesof

為文章第一段雖然提到,但"下毒"
