2014年考研英语(一)真题及参考答案(18)

39题选B，属于推理题。Implies是推理题的标志。同时根据提题干定位第五段，找professor． “professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas―such as free markets， self－reliance ―as falling outside the boundaries of routine， and sometimes legitimate， intellectual investigation．”A 选项中的free markets前面的修饰词语是conservative or liberal ideas 没有体现A 选项中的supportive。C选项中的conservative 与文中progressive public policy 不符合。D选项中biased 没有体现，故排除。所以选B。

40． Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

[A] Ways to Grasp “The Heart of the Matter”

[B] Illiberal Education and “The Heart of the Matter”

[C] The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal Education

[D] Progressive Policy vs． Liberal Education

40．题选择B。主旨大意题。先看其他题题干，我们锁定关键词是report ，而report 就是“the heart of the matter “ 故排除C和D．而我们看A 发现文章并没有讲如何抓住“问题核心”的各个方法。排除A，选择B

Part B

[A] Some archaeological sites have always been easily observable―for example， the Parthenon in Athens， Greece； the pyramids of Giza in Egypt； and the megaliths of Stonehenge in southern England． But these sites are exceptions to the norm ．Most archaeological sites have been located by means of careful searching， while many others have been discovered by accident． Olduvai Gorge， fell into its deep valley in 1911．Thousands of Aztec artifacts came to light during the digging of the Mexico City subway in the 1970s．

[B] In another case， American archaeologists Rene million and George Cowgill spent years systematically mapping the entire city of Teotihuacan in the valley of Mexico near what is now Mexico City ．at its peak around AD 600， this city was one of the largest human settlements in the word． The researchers mapped not only the city’s vast and ornate ceremonial areas， but also hundreds of simpler apartment complexes where common people lived．
