estexpressesthemainideaofParagraph2？A、Thefirstsentence．B、Thesecondandthethirdsentences．C、Thefourthsentence．D、Thelastsentence．標準答案：C知識點解析：文章第二段主要講了“反主流文化”的興起及其影響。比較四個選項，只有C項，即第二段第四句Thecounterculturepresentedmenandwomenwithnewrolechoices．最具概括性，也就是“反主流文化”為男性和女性提供了新的職業(yè)選擇。13、Inthepassagetheauthorproposesthatthecounterculture________．A、destroyedtheUnitedStatesB、transformedsomeAmericanvaluesC、wasnotimportantintheUnitedStatesD、broughtpeoplemoreleisuretimewiththeirfamilies標準答案：B知識點解析：根據(jù)題目關(guān)鍵詞counterculture可定位至文章第二段和第三段，第二段明確提到Thepeopleinvolvedinthismovementdidnotvaluethemiddle-classgoals即“反主流文化”運動中的人們不再追求中產(chǎn)階級的目標，接下來列舉了具體例子，即作者認為“反主流文化”改變了美國人的一些價值觀。14、Itcouldbeinferredfromthepassagethat________．A、menandwomenwillneversharethesamegoalsB、somemenwillbewillingtoexchangetheirtraditionalmalerolesC、mostmenwillbehappytosharesomeofthehouseholdresponsibilitieswiththeirwivesD、moreAmericanhouseholdsareheadedbywomenthaneverbefore標準答案：C知識點解析：A項與文章第四段倒數(shù)第二句Butsomewomenbegantoentertraditionallymaleoccupations相矛盾，因此錯誤；B項指一些男性將愿意改變他們的傳統(tǒng)男性角色，文中沒有明確提到，故排除；C項指的是大部分男人將會很樂意與妻子分擔(dān)一些家庭責(zé)任，根據(jù)文章第二段第五句Takingmoreinterestinchildcare，menbegantosharechild-raisingtaskswiththeirwives．可知，該選項正確；D項與C項矛盾，故排除。15、Thebesttitleforthepassagemaybe________．A、ResultsofFeministMovementsB、NewInfluenceinAmericanlifeC、CountercultureandItsConsequencesD、TraditionalDivisionofMaleandFemaleRoles標準答案：B知識點解析：本文主要講了男女角色的轉(zhuǎn)變及其這種轉(zhuǎn)變對美國的影響，文章首先提到傳統(tǒng)男女分工，其次講到“反主流文化”的興起及其影響，再次講到“女權(quán)運動”，最后提到男女角色發(fā)展的現(xiàn)狀。由此可知，A、C、D三項均片面，只有B項NewInfluenceinAmericanlife(美國生活中新的影響力)正確。Passage4Wecanbeginourdiscussionof“populationasglobalissue”withwhatmostpersonsmeanwhentheydiscuss“thepopulationproblem”：toomanypeopleonearthandatoorapidincreaseinthenumberaddedeachyear．Thefactsarenotindispute．Itwasquiterighttoemploytheanalogythatlinkeddemographicgrowthto“along，thinpowderfusethatburnssteadilyandhaltinglyuntilitfinallyreachesthechargeandexplodes．”Tounderstandthecurrentsituation，whichischaracterizedbyrapidincreasesinpopulation，itisnecessarytounderstandthehistoryofpopulationtrends．Rapidgrowthisacomparativelyrecentphenomenon．Lookingbackat8000yearsofdemographichistory，wefindthatpopulationshavebeenvirtuallystableorgrowingveryslightlyformostofhumanhistory．Formostofourancestors，lifewashard，oftennasty，andveryshort．Therewashighfertilityinmostplaces，butthiswasusuallybalancedbyhighmorality．Formostofhumanhistory，itwasseldomthecasethatoneintenpersonswouldlivepastforty，whileinfancyandchildhoodwereespeciallyriskyperiods．Often，societieswereincleardangerofextinctionbecausedeathratescouldextendtheirbirthrates．Thus，thepopulationproblemthroughoutmostofhistorywashowtopreventextinctionofthehumanrace．Thispatternisimportanttonotice．Notonlydoesitputthecurrentproblemofdemographicgrowthintoahistoricalperspective，butitsuggeststhatthecauseofrapidincreaseinpopulationinrecentyearsisnotasuddenenthusiasmformorechildren，butanimprovementintheconditionsthattraditionallyhavecausedhighmortality．Demographichistorycanbedividedintotwomajorperiods：atimeoflong，slowgrowthwhichextendedfromabout8000BC．tillapproximatelyAD．1650．Inthefirstperiodofsome9，600years，thepopulationincreasedfromsome8millionto500millionin1650．Between1650andthepresent，thepopulationhasincreasedfrom500milliontomorethan4billion．Anditisestimatedthatbytheyear2000therewillbe6．2billionpeoplethroughouttheworld．Onewaytoappreciatethisdramaticdifferenceinsuchabstractnumbersistoreducethetimeframetosomethingthatismoremanageable．Between8000BC．a(chǎn)nd1650，anaverageofonly50，000personswerebeingaddedannuallytotheworld’spopulationeachyear．Atpresent，thisnumberisaddedeverysixhours．Theincreaseisabout80，000，000personsannually．16、Whichofthefollowingdemographicgrowthpatternissuitableforthelongthinpowderfuseanalogy?A、Avirtuallystableorslightlydecreasingperiodandthenasuddenexplosionofpopulation．B、Aslowgrowthforalongtimeandaperiodofdramaticincrease．C、Toomanypeopleonearthandafewrapidincreaseinthenumberaddedeachyear．D、Alongperiodwhendeathratesexceedbirthratesandthenashortperiodwithhigherfertilityandlowermorality．標準答案：A知識點解析：根據(jù)題目關(guān)鍵詞thelongthinpowderfuse(細長的導(dǎo)火線)可定位至文章第一段along，thinpowderfusethatburnssteadilyandhaltinglyuntilitfinallyreachesthechargeandexplodes．(細長的導(dǎo)火線穩(wěn)定地燃燒著，有時會中斷，直到最后它達到爆點，然后爆炸)，四種人口增長模式中，只有A項符合這一類比。17、Duringthefirstperiodofdemographichistory，societieswereoftenindangerofextinctionbecause________．A、onlyoneintenpersonscouldlivepast40B、therewashighermoralitythanfertilityinmostplacesC、itwastoodangeroustohavebabiesduetothepoorconditionsD、ourancestorshadlittleenthusiasmformorechildren標準答案：B知識點解析：根據(jù)題目關(guān)鍵詞indangerofextinction可定位至文章第二段，根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句Often，societieswereincleardangerofextinctionbecausedeathratescouldextendtheirbirthrates．(社會總是有停止前進的危險，因為死亡率超過了出生率)，而究其原因，兇為在大部分地方，道德觀念比生育觀念更強，導(dǎo)致出生率低。18、Whichstatementistrueaboutpopulationincrease?A、Theremightbeanincreaseof2．2billionpersonsfromnowtotheyear2000．B、About50，000babiesareborneverysixhoursatpresent．C、Between8000BC．a(chǎn)ndthepresent，thepop
