Sweet shot (P4)
Choose the best answer:
1. From the first three paragraphs, we can see that Michelle Wie _____.
A. longs for the day that her parents gives her more freedom equal her fame
B. takes pleasure in being a celebrity and being worshiped by young people
C. is a world-famous golfer who still enjoys a common teenage life

A. can understand the good intention of her parents

D. hates her parents taking away all her hard earned money

 

前三段分别说了Wie在高尔夫界和平常生活中的两种完全不同的生活(double life),但都过得很快乐(skillfully balances…),尤其是后者。所以只有C正确。
他妈妈的话最重要的一点是want her to …very rich, with a rich personal life. Most of all, we want her to be happy.所以其实还是希望富有并不影响她的个人生活。这样C正确。A意思是为她规划生活,文中没有这样的体现,所以错。
3. 最后三段主要说明Wie在钱财这方面,虽然挣得很多,但是她的父母管得严,她还是接受了他们的做法,认为应该等再大一些在处理这方面事情,还有她把钱用在慈善方面。所以A正确。

2. A。推论题。同上题解析。
3.B。词义猜测题。此处给了动词take的几种不同的释义。通过上下文的材料分析,不难看出是“承受”。

B. the differences in the samples they smelt were rather clear
C. women seemed to be more sensitive to fear-filled sweat samples
D. scary movies might make people produce strong and less pleasant sweat

 

1.C。主旨大意题。细读整篇文章,我们可以看出fear本身不是一种化学物质,而是一种通过一种叫pheromones的化学物质可以被人感知、发现并且会传播的一种情感。
2.A。通过第二段the chemical can be picked up and …和第三段infect可以推断A正确。
3.B。细节理解题。在文章的开头就给出了这一结论。A选项是文中提到的一种假设(倒数第五段),C 选项是该研究成果的实际作用,D选项则是研究过程中使用的方法,均非该项研究的目的。
4.A。细节题。文章第六段直接给出了该题的答案,同时也否定了B选项。至于C 选项,文中提到there’s no evidence来证明这一点。D选项也被否定:研究人员是通过扫描仪监控志愿者的大脑活动而得出的。
5. D。段落推理题。在这两段中,作者用以前做过的类似实验来证明该研究成果的正确性。文中的More than half并不是Almost all,排除A。为they couldn’t tell any difference in the samples,故B选项错误。从文章最后一段的描述我们可以看出Kerstin Ackerl的实验对象是妇女,因此我们不能得出C选项的结论。
