2、In 20 a federal judge shook America's biotech industry to its core. Companies had won patents for isolated DNA for decades-by 2005 some 20% of human genes were parented. But in March 2010 a judge ruled that genes were unpatentable. Executives were violently agitated. The Biotechnology Industry Organisation (BIO), a trade group, assured members that this was just a “preliminary step” in a longer battle.    On July 29th they were relieved, at least temporarily. A federal appeals court overturned the prior decision, ruling that Myriad Genetics could indeed hold patents to two genes that help forecast a woman's risk of breast cancer. The chief executive of Myriad, a company in Utah, said the ruling was a blessing to firms and patients alike.    But as companies continue their attempts at personalized medicine, the courts will remain rather busy. The Myriad case itself is probably not over. Critics make three main arguments against gene patents: a gene is a product of nature, so it may not be patented; gene patents suppress innovation rather than reward it; and patents' monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriad's. A growing number seem to agree. Last year a federal task-force urged reform for patents related to genetic tests. In October the Department of Justice filed a brief in the Myriad case, arguing that an isolated DNA molecule “is no less a product of nature... than are cotton fibres that have been separated from cotton seeds.”    Despite the appeals court's decision, big questions remain unanswered. For example, it is unclear whether the sequencing of a whole genome violates the patents of individual genes within it. The case may yet reach the Supreme Court.    As the industry advances, however, other suits may have an even greater impact. Companies are unlikely to file many more patents for human DNA molecules - most are already patented or in the public domain .firms are now studying how genes interact, looking for correlations that might be used to determine the causes of disease or predict a drug’s efficacy. Companies are eager to win patents for ‘connecting the dots’, explains Hans Sauer, a lawyer for the BIO.    Their success may be determined by a suit related to this issue, brought by the Mayo Clinic, which the Supreme Court will hear in its next term. The BIO recently held a convention which included sessions to coach lawyers on the shifting landscape for patents. Each meeting was packed.1、It can be learned from paragraph 1 that the biotech companies would like______2、Those who are against gene patents believe that_____3、According to Hans Sauer, companies are eager to win patents for_____4、By saying “each meeting was packed”(line4,para6)the author means that_____5、Generally speaking, the author’s attitude toward gene patenting is_____

3、Pretty in pink: adult women do not remember being so obsessed with the colour, yet it is pervasive in our young girls’ lives. It is not that pink intrinsically bad, but it is a tiny slice of the rainbow and, though it may celebrate girlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fused girls’ identity to appearance. Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence. Looking around, despaired at the singular lack of imagination about girls’ lives and interests.    Girls' attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it's not. Children were not colour-coded at all until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. What's more, both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses. When nursery colours were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolized femininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children's marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seem innately attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years.    I had not realized how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kids, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take the toddler. I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into children's behaviour: wrong. Turns out, according to Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it was popularized as a marketing gimmick by clothing manufacturers in the 1930s.    Trade publications counseled department stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a "third stepping stone" between infant wear and older kids' clothes. It was only after "toddler" became common shoppers' term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults, into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences--or invent them where they did not previously exist.1、By saying "it is ... The rainbow"(line 3, Para 1), the author means pink _______.2、According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is true of colours?3、The author suggests that our perception of children's psychological development was much influenced by ________.4、We may learn from Paragraph 4 that department stores were advised ________.5、It can be concluded that girl's attraction to pink seems to be _____.

4、The great recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably beginning. Before it ends, It will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. And ultimately, it is likely to reshape our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years.    No one tries harder than the jobless to find silver linings in this national economic disaster. Many said that unemployment, while extremely painful, had improved them in some ways; they had become less materialistic and more financially prudent; they were more aware of the struggles of others. In limited respects, perhaps the recession will leave society better off. At the very least, it has awoken us from our national fever dream of easy riches and bigger houses, and put a necessary end to an era of reckless personal spending.    But for the most part, these benefits seem thin, uncertain, and far off. In The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth, the economic historian Benjamin Friedman argues that both inside and outside the U.S. , lengthy periods of economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive, and have usually stopped or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms. Anti-immigrant sentiment typically increases, as does conflict between races and classes.    Income inequality usually falls during a recession, but it has not shrunk in this one. Indeed, this period of economic weakness may reinforce class divides, and decrease opportunities to cross them--- especially for young people. The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist in Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.    In the internet age, it is particularly easy to see the resentment that has always been hidden within American society. More difficult, in the moment, is discerning precisely how these lean times are affecting society’s character. In many respects, the U.S. was more socially tolerant entering this recession than at any time in its history, and a variety of national polls on social conflict since then have shown mixed results. We will have to wait and see exactly how these hard times will reshape our social fabric. But they certainly it, and all the more so the longer they extend.1、By saying “to find silver linings”（Line 1,Para.2）the author suggest that the jobless try to___.2、According to Paragraph 2, the recession has made people_____.3、Benjamin Friedman believed that economic recession may_____.4、The research of Till Von Wachther suggests that in recession graduates from elite universities tend to _____.5、The author thinks that the influence of hard times on society is____.

5、Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on his educational ritual. Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade    This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children.    District administrators say that homework will still be a pat of schooling: teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want. But with homework counting for no more than 10% of their grades, students can easily skip half their homework and see very little difference on their report cards. Some students might do well on state tests without completing their homework, but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework? It is quite possible that the homework helped. Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students, the policy imposes a flat, across-the-board rule.    At the same time, the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students’ academic achievement, it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments, not make them count for almost nothing. Conversely, if homework does nothing to ensure that the homework students are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.    The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board, which is responsible for setting educational policy, looks into the matter and conducts public hearings. It is not too late for L.A. Unified to do homework right.1、It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____.2、L.A. Unified has made the rule about homework mainly because poor students_____.3、According to Paragraph 3,one problem with the policy is that it may____.4、As mentioned in Paragraph 4, a key question unanswered about homework is whether______.5、A suitable title for this text could be______.

6、“Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here,” wrote the Victorian sage Thomas Carlyle Well, not any more it is not.    Suddenly, Britain looks to have fallen out with its favourite historical form. This could be no more than a passing literary craze, but it also points to a broader truth about how we now approach the past: less concerned with learning from our forefathers and more interested in feeling their pain. Today, we want empathy, not inspiration.    From the earliest days of the Renaissance, the writing of history meant recounting the exemplary lives of great men. In 1337, Petrarch began work on his rambling writing De Viris Illustribus--On Famous Men, highlighting the virtus(or virtue) of classical heroes. Petrarch celebrated their greatness in conquering fortune and rising to the top. This was the biographical tradition which Niccolo Machiavelli turned on its head. In The Prince, he championed cunning, ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and justice, as the skills of successful leaders.    Over time, the attributes of greatness shifted. The Romantics commemorated the leading painters and authors of their day, stressing the uniqueness of the artists personal experience rather than public glory. By contrast, the Victorian author Samuel Smiles wrote Self-Help as a catalogue of the worthy lives of engineers, industrialists and explorers. The valuable examples which they furnish of the power of self-help, of patient purpose, resolute working, and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formation of truly noble and manly character, exhibit, wrote Smiles, what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself. His biographies of James Watt, Richard Arkwright and Josiah Wedgwood were held up as beacons to guide the working man through his difficult life.    This was all a bit bourgeois for Thomas Carlyle, who focused his biographies on the truly heroic lives of Martin Luther, Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bonaparte. These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate, but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals.    Not everyone was convinced by such bombast. “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles,” wrote Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto. For them, history did nothing, it possessed no immense wealth nor waged battles: "It is man, real living man who does all that. And history should be the story of the masses and their record of struggle. As such, it needed to appreciate the economic realities, the social contexts and power relation in which each epoch stood. For: Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly found, given and transmitted from the past.    This was the tradition which revolutionized our appreciation of the past. In place of Thomas Carlyle, Britain nurtured Christopher Hill, EP Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm. History from below stood alongside biographies of great men. Whole new realms of understanding from gender to race to cultural studies--were opened up as scholars unpicked the multiplicity of lost societies And it transformed public history too: downstairs became just as fascinating as upstairs1.Petrarch2.Niccol o Machiavell3.Samuel Smiles4.Thomas Carlyle5.

试题解析：第1题:

本段开篇提出主题：G.I.Joe这个名字对于参加过第二次世界大战的人来说意义非凡。空格动词在定语从句中作谓语，其主语是who（指代men and women），动作发生的时间是in World War II，空后的句子"the people they liberated"中they也指代men and women，根据liberated可推断"the men and women"指的应该是参加了第二次世界大战的男人和女人，即服役的军人。只有serve有“服兵役”的意思，故选A. perform意为“表现，执行，表演”，rebel意为“造反，反抗”，betray意为“背叛，出卖”，均不符合文意，排除。

空内信息应该是与hero“英雄”意思相对，后面的分句说他背井离乡，经历了很多苦难，显然这里应该是说由普通人平凡人(common man)成长为英雄，所以选B。actual意为“实际上，事实上的”，special意为“特殊的，专门的”，normal意为“正常的，常态的”，均不符合语境，故排除。

本题考查的是词语的搭配关系，承担战争带来的负担，应该用动词bear或shoulder，所以这里选A，bore。

necessities表示“生活必需品”，空外信息food和shelter(食物和住宿)这些就是维持生存最起码的条件。Facilities是设备设施，commodities商品，properties财产，均不符合题意。

not…but，“不是，而是”表转折，不是志愿兵，也没有高的报酬，而是一个普通人。所以选C。

这道题主要考查介词的搭配。根据up_____(the best trained, best equipped, fiercest, most brutal).enemies可以知道是起来反抗敌人，所以选D选项against。

GI：在军事上是Government Issue的缩略语，所以，GL。这个符号就是象征着这个全称Government Issue。选A。

该句意思为，GI。这个符号出现在给士兵分发的所有物品上，hand out “分发，发放”符合题意。Turn over “移交”，bring back“带回”，pass down“传承，一代一代传下来”在句意上都说不通。

空所在句子的语境为：Joe是个普通名词，一个从未爬到社会顶层的人的名字。Manage表示再怎么经过努力，最终也未能获得成功，所以选C。

结合第9题的分析可知，空所在句子实际上是进一步举例说明Joe没有取得大的成就：从来都不曾出现叫做Joe的总统、副总统、国务卿。根据句意只能选never，B。

本题考察词汇辨析。空所在的语境为：GI .Joe有____的军旅生涯，曾和德国，日本以及朝鲜的军队作战。由此语境确定选D，其他几项均不符合题意。

本题考察词汇辨析。空所在语境为：他身上体现着美国人的某些特色，或身上结合了美国人的诸多特性。结合语境，可知作者想表达在他身上有很多美国人的典型特色，因而选B。

本题考察词汇辨析。空所在语境为：Pyle____的士兵也本色出演了该片。结合上句对Ernie Pyle的介绍，可知为一战地记者(war correspondent)，确定答案C。

本题考察词汇辨析。 空所在语境为：Pyle擅长报导战争的____面，报导这些浑身是尘土，积雪以及泥浆的士兵。Pyle报导重在士兵而非战争上，因而可确定他关注的应更多的是人性。所以选D。

本题考察词汇辨析。本题承接上题， 表达： Pyle并不关注士兵行军多少里，或是占领或解放了多少地方。Gain有推进(一段)距离的意思，故选D。

本题考察词汇辨析。空所在语境为：他的报道与Bill Maulden的是_____的。紧接的一句话揭示了本题的答案，两者都(Both men)。由此可确定两人的报道应是类似的。因而，选A。“counteracted”表示“抵制，中和，对抗”，duplicated表示“复制，重复”，“ contradicted”表示“反驳，与 ... 矛盾”。

本题考察逻辑搭配。空所在语境为：两者都_____战争的丑恶，以及所带来的损耗。由上题可知道，Pyle更加注重战争中的士兵，因而他不可能是忽略(neglected)，避免(avoided)或是钦佩(admired)战争所带来的这一些负面的东西，因而本题选C，表示“强调”。

本题讲述了战争的尘嚣和战争中所带来的现代文明的方面，如咖啡，香烟，威士忌，烟草等等，句中的冒号后面跟的都是这些例子，故所填的词应该是能够概括这些食物的名词。四个选项中，stages“阶段，时期”，illusions“幻觉，假象”和advances“前进，进展”都不符合题意，只有fragments“残缺的片段，碎片”可以和civilization连用，并概括冒号后的咖啡，香烟等，故选C。

本题考察介词的用法。空所在语境为：____ 印度，法国，以及其他国家，G.I. Joe可以是任何美国士兵。结合文章表达，应是对于这些人而言。因而，确定答案B。

本题考察逻辑搭配。空所在语境为：G.I. Joe是他们生命中最重要的人。原题四个选项分别表示on the contrary“正相反”；by this means“用这种方式”；from the outset“从一开始”；at that point表示“就那点(方面)来说”。D为最佳答案。

2、试题答案：第1题:C;第2题:B;第3题:B;第4题:C;第5题:D;

试题解析：第1题:

第一段是文章的主旨段，简单扼要道出基因专利法律纠纷的由来。2010年的由一位联邦法官颠覆过去“基因可以获得专利”案例，作出“基因不能获得专利”这一判决，激怒生物公司，引起轩然大波，一场基因专利战由此激发。生物科技产业组织(BIO)向其组织成员承诺，这仅仅只是这场专利战的开始，他们一定会力争到底。题干关键词“companies”首先出现在文章第一段第三句“Companies had won patents for isolated DNA for decades.”（公司取得了分离基因专利权），接下来的Bu…表明法官的裁决与公司的愿望相反，也就是说公司想拥有基因专利权，由此确定C为正确答案。B项与文中内容矛盾；由此段第四句可知，高管们因此变得焦躁不安，故排除A项；关于BIO，文中说该组织向成员承诺要斗争，所以D项不符合文章的内容。

由第三段第三句可知，人们反对基因专利的理由有三个第一个是基因是自然的产物；第二个是基因抑制创新；第三个是专利垄断限制他人进行基因测试。根据第一个理由可以推出B为正确答案。本文并未谈及A项的内容，故排除。根据第一个和第二个理由可知，基因专利取决于基因是否为自然产品而不是创新，并且基因专利会抑制创新，所以排除C。第三个理由表明专利垄断企业并非法院限制人们进行基因测试，并且反对基因专利的人不赞成限制基因测试，排除D项。

题干问的是“在 Hans Saucer看来，公司迫切想赢得怎样的专利”。首先在文章倒数第二段找到Hans Saucer这个名字及他所说的话“connecting the dots”。他的话是对该段前面一句话“Firms are now studying how genes interact的总结，因此B项正确。

“Eachmeeting was packed”中的“packed”原意为“打包”，在本句中是“挤满”的意思，该句理解为“每次会议都座无虚席”。由上一句可知，召开这些会议是为了指导律师处理专利目前摇摆不定的局面。由此可以推出人们对基因专利非常关注，所以C为正确答案。最高法院具有权威性与这些会议人满为患没有关系，排除A项；BD项曲解本段内容的字面意思，故排除。

文章首先谈到基因专利的现状以及引起争议的问题。然后在第三段中反对基因专利的观点及其理由，并进一步提到在基因获得专利过程中遇到的实际问题。在第五段中还谈到公司渴望获得基因专利的目的是为了建立疾病之间的关联性。由此可以看出，作者对基因专利的描述是客观的，没有主观评价，所以D项为正确答案。

试题解析：第1题:

这篇文章是来自于英国《卫报》2011年6月19日的一篇文章。作者以粉红色与女性的关系为切入，进而探讨了是什么在吸引我们对于颜色产生的喜好。在考研复习中这种文章是屡见不鲜的。所以，在经过我们相关的集训训练，或是相关强化训练的考生可以以非常愉悦的状态应对这篇文章。第26题定位点出现在第一段中间，因其前后句都与其有句意联系，故皆为解题区域。前句说：女人已经想不起来自己在少女时代对于粉色的痴迷。引入了出题句。该字面理解为这只是彩虹的一个小小端倪。结合前句、后句，可以知道粉红色没有什么问题，也不仅仅是混淆少女身份的东西。在后又提及了，它是一种连接。B、C选项有歧视的倾向，不选、排除。D选项不在解题区域之内。

结合文章，A选项为第二段的第一句中的“but”所排除。B选项在文中，有“Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolized femininity。”呼应。故可选。C选项，与原文所提及代表力量不符，排除。D选项，与原文中所提及白色是由“boil”造成，不符，排除。故第27题选择B。

事实细节题。作者对于我们对于孩子的心理发展的感知主要是受到____的影响。此题定位点较为模糊。有出题词汇“perception”和“psychological development”以及解题核心词汇“influenced”。由定位点“perception”和“psychological development”以及解题核心词汇“influenced”，定位于第三段第一句，“I had not realized how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kids, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. ”故句后部分为该题解题重要区域。定位点于第一句话，但是要注意本句话中所用的是“marketing trends”(市场趋势)，故A选项中的所购买的儿童用品。

A 选项 词句有原文支持“create a "third stepping stone" between infant wear and older kids' clothes”。但是，对于内容的理解不全面。是一个强干扰项。原文在这一定位范围内没有提及性别问题，故排除B选项。在后句有“Splitting kids, or adults, into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits。”，第29题，故选择C选项，为正确答案。

文中，少女对于粉色的喜好多次提及，分别为，第一段，“yet it is pervasive in our young girls’ lives”；第二段，“Girls' attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it's not. ”结合原文，可以排除选项A与选项D。剩下的B与C选项是该题的难点，即到底是为服装商全部了解的结果，还是商人的导向。其实，通读全文，服装商确实出现过，但是，却没有提及服装厂商对于顾客的理解，做一个最简单的推理：如果服装商真的能够完全理解顾客需求，那么就不会有服装的积压现象。故，该选项为绝对选项，不选。所以，第30题答案为C。

4、试题答案：第1题:D;第2题:D;第3题:B;第4题:D;第5题:A;

试题解析：第1题:

题干分析：By saying “to find silver linings” (Line 1,Para.2)the author suggest that the jobless try to___。
通过对于题干的分析，这是一道词组或者说是词义的推理题目。要求考生，通过划线的词组来推断作者的建议。我们注意的是该题的出题位置，是在第二段的第一行，这使得很多同学心理上放松了对于第一段落的重视。如果真的如此，则考生便陷入了出题人的陷阱。因为出题人之所以设计考点在此，便是通过对于第二段首句的考察来进行大纲所要求的对于上下文内在结构的理解的考察。即，第二段的内容是如何通过此句与文章的第一个段落联系在一起的。所以这道题的解题区域(相关解释详见同上)不仅包括该段落后续内容，也包含了上一段落的最后几个部分。在此，有一些同学基础很好，能够知道“to find silver linings”在英语中有着一个固定含义，即“寻找一线生机”。于是便开始积极的且急急的去对应答案选项解答题目。
A选项解读：从政府寻求补助金。该选项在文章中没有提及，直接排除。
B选项解读：探索失业的理由。该选项在文中有“Many said that unemployment”中有相同体现，但是与所谓原因没有关系，故排除。
C选项解读：从困窘的经济中得利。该选项看起来有原文呼应：“ while extremely painful, had improved them in some ways; they had become less materialistic and more financially prudent; they were more aware of the struggles of others。”但是，研读之下，发现，并没有选项中的“profit”“获利”一词，只是说人们有了一些积极的改变。所以不能选择，获利，盈利。
故，综合分析只有“[D] look on the bright side of the recession”，解读为：看到衰退中光明的一面。符合原文。选择为正确答案。

题干分析：According to Paragraph 2,the recession has made people_____。
该题为：段落细节题。注意关键点“made people”。此题与第一题出题区域结合较为紧密，故在解题时，应避免与第一题相同的答案。如果答案相同，则意味着出题重复。这不符合考纲对于出题人的基本要求。
A选项解读：实现了民族的梦想(美国梦)。在文中，有相关的体现在于：awoken us from our national fever dream of easy riches and bigger houses，这与选项内容不符合，属于同形不同义，排除。
B选项解读：彼此争斗。这在原文中有：they were more aware of the struggles of others体现，但是这只是说有了一种意识，而不是真的“each other”的与任何人都去“struggle against”，故属于同形不同义，排除。
C选项解读：挑战了他们的生活方式。该选项符合文章中的相关内容，与题干结合有歧义，即人们自己挑战自己的生活方式。实际上，原文所提及的一些问题改变是人们迫不得已的重新思考的结果，而不是人们自主的挑战。所以，排除此选项。
D选项解读：重新思考他们的时候方式。
文章中“had improved them in some ways”；“they had become less materialistic and more financially prudent; they were more aware of the struggles of others。”；“At the very least, it has awoken us from our national fever dream of easy riches and bigger houses, and put a necessary end to an era of reckless personal spending”都是一种基于改变的思考，故选D选项。

题干分析：Benjamin Friedman believed that economic recession may_____。
该题为：事实细节题，关键点在：BF。问的是他的相信。只要找到BF此人，研读其观点，便可解题。
A选项解读：加重外来移民的负担。原文中表述如下：Anti-immigrant sentiment typically increases即反移民的情绪增加，但是这不是移民的负担，所以与上题的多干扰项一样，属于同形不同义，排除。
B选项解读：使显示出更多的人性的罪恶。通过对“lengthy periods of economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive, and have usually stopped or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms. Anti-immigrant sentiment typically increases, as does conflict between races and classes。”的综合，可以确定，此选项为正确选项。
C选项，推动权力和自由的进步”以及D选项，缓和各个种族与各个阶级之间的冲突”明显与原文“stopped or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms。”以及“does conflict between races and classes”不符合，所以排除。
故，答案为B选项。

题干分析：The research of Till Von Wachther suggests that in recession graduates from elite universities tend to _____。
可以翻译为：对于TVW的研究建议在衰退中的名牌大学的毕业生倾向于______。
关键点在于：“TVW”和“elite universities ”。需要知道名牌大学生在衰退中的情况。第4题，“TVW”定位在第四段第二句，“elite universities”定位在同句，所以该句一直到最后都是解题区域：The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist in Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind。
A选项解读：由于缺少机会而落后于其他人。文章中有“decrease opportunities to cross them”，但是此句，只是在讨论前面的核心点“class divides”，而不是有关于“elite universities”。而“left behind”所在“ it is the masses beneath them that are left behind。”这一句是一个明显的强调句型，还原为原句后是：the masses beneath them are left behind. 其中them指代前面的“those with degrees from elite universities”即题干中的名牌大学生。故该句翻译成：在名牌大学之后的大众们被抛在后面。所以，名牌大学生没有因为机会少而落后，故属于同形不同义，排除。
B选项解读：以很快赶上了经验丰富的员工。原文中有：those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times。其“catch up quickly with ”对象是“where they have been”，而非人，所以，排除不选。
C选项解读：和其他人一样把他们的生活机会看的很暗淡。根据原文，同样可以知道，他们不会如同其他人一样，所以排除。
D选项解读：比其他人回复的更快速。在原文中的“those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind。”说明，第一名牌大学生会去到在较好的时代不能去到的高度，其次他们可以超过其他人，所以，答案为D，他们恢复的更快。

题干分析：The author thinks that the influence of hard times on society is____。
该题是作者观点题。该题可翻译为：作者认为艰难的时光对于社会的影响是______。作者观点态度题可以从全文来解决，也可以找到相关的定位点来解决，故不做过多分析。C选项与D选项，属于负面选项，纵观全文，内容较为可观且积极，所以负面的选项，应该排除，其实这也好理解，就是如果真的是全负面的影响，美国人民可能就失去活下去的勇气了……很多同学会被B选项，积极地，所迷惑，原因是文中提及了很多好一点的内容，但是，在文章中的最后一段有原文：We will have to wait and see exactly how these hard times will reshape our social fabric. But they certainly will reshape it, and all the more so the longer they extend。所以，答案为A选项，确定的。即作者认为是有影响的，但是影响的最终结果，仍需等待。

5、试题答案：第1题:A;第2题:C;第3题:A;第4题:B;第5题:D;

试题解析：第1题:

文章首段首句指出“家庭作业一直不受学生，还有许多家长的欢迎，特别是到了最近几年，家庭作业还遭到了人们的不屑。”后面的内容则是简单提出美国各学区对于家庭作业的作为，引出，目前家庭作业…，关键词是家庭作业，因此答案从首句就能判断出来，题干的nowadays对应原文中的in recent years， 所选答案则是对“it has been particularly scorned。”的同义改写，故答案选A。

文章第二段首句明确说到“这项政策的制定是为了解决贫困家庭的学生在完成家庭作业中可能遇到的困难。”这与题干所问“制定该政策的主要原因”以及“贫困学生”就对应起来了，故答案选C。

文章第三段第二句指出，“如果家庭作业仅占分值的10%，学生很容易少做一半的家庭作业，在他们的成绩单上也不会有什么差别。”“家庭作业仅占分值10%”这是 制定出的家庭作业政策的内容，因此，从这句话可以看出有了这项政策，既然成绩单上不会有区别，学生就会选择少做一半的家庭作业，这个意思对应选项为A。

第四段第一句讲该政策漫有就一些林手的问题做出回答；第二句提到如果学区认为作业对学生的学习成绩不那么重要，就应该减免，而不是大幅度降低其在成绩中所占的比例；第三句说如果家庭作业重要，在成绩中所占的比重就应该大。由此推断，该政策尚未回答的问题是作业对学生教育是否重要，故选B。选项A和D都只是这个问题中的一个方面；C项在文中并未提及，故排除。

主旨题，文章开始就提到作业一直不受欢迎，而近年来尤其被人们鄙视，第二句说明各个学区都在改变对作业的看法。接下来一句中 unfortunately相当于however，起转折作用。由此可知本文的主要话题是；洛杉矶学区通过了一项不可变更的政策，这就是说作者认为这一政策是不妥当的，所以D项为正确答案，同时排除B。本作业政策制定的错误，而不是对政策的误读，排除A。虽然第四段提到了“关于作业的棘手问题”，但这只是文章的部分内容，排除C。

6、试题答案：第1题:A;第2题:F;第3题:G;第4题:C;第5题:E;

试题解析：第1题:

第三段第二句提到“Petrarch began，highlighting the virtue of classical heroes.文中比特拉克在他的书中强调古典英雄的美德。A项与此是对应的，其中 emphasize是原文中highlighting的同义转述。

第三段最后一句讲尼科洛·马基雅维利认为，狡猾、残忍和勇敢才是成功领袖应有的技能，而不是美德、宽厚和公正之心，因此选F，其中的 dismiss.as意为“将某事归为...”

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯在他的书《自助论》里面讲到工程师、实业家探险家的有意义的生活，G项与此是对应的。

由第五段第二句“These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate 托马斯·卡菜尔认为这些划时代意义的人物代表了很难去仿效的生活。因此，C项为正确答案。

第六段第四句提到"history should be the story of the masses and their record of struggle”，即马克思和恩格斯认为历史应该是大众的故事以及他们斗争的记录，因此可直接得出E项为正确答案。
