【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 In a series of radio broadcasts, Arnold Schwargenegger, the actor-turned-candidate-for-governor, staked out some middle ground on social issues, taking positions that might alienate his conservative fellow Republicans but match the views of a majority of Californians.隐含事实的找寻和推断。原文在谈及Arnold Schwargenegger所采取的立场时说"alienate his conservative fellow Republicans"即“疏远了他那些保守的共和党派同伴”，由此可推断Arnold Schwargenegger应该是共和党而不是民主党。因此，题干的说法是错误的。 注意：1)理解关键词含义，如原文中alienate的意思；2)对重要信息做出正确推断，比如能推断出原文中fellow(同伴)，表明Arnold Schwargenegger的党派关系。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 Early onset of depression in children and teens is increasingly common. Depressed adolescents are at high risk for school failure, social isolation, promiscuity, "self-medication", and even suicide — the third leading cause of death among 15- to 24-year-olds.因果关系的判断。原文讨论青少年消沉沮丧的问题时说"Depressed adolescents are at high risk for school failure, social isolation…"即“消沉沮丧的年轻人会面临巨大的危险，如学业失败，与社会隔绝等”，由此可判断，消沉沮丧是因，而学业失败，与社会隔绝等是果。题干因果关系倒置，因此是错误的。 注意：在没有明显信号词提示的情况下，迅速对上下文语义逻辑关系做出判断，如对上面句子中信息的逻辑关系做出判断。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 Cheliean sea bass is a snow-white, flaky delicacy in restaurants in the United States, Japan and Europe. Environmentalists have warned that over-fishing and poaching could cause it to vanish from the coasts of Antarctica.语法理解。通过原文"over—fishing"可判断Cheliean sea bass可能是鱼类，且原文提出对该物种的过度和非法捕捞"could cause it to vanish"与题干"might have already become extinct"意思不能吻合，前者表示对未来预测的一种可能性，而后者则表示对已发生情况的判断。因此，题干的说法是错误的。 注意：正确理解语法概念。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】 In western Sweden, a five-year-old girl was abducted and stabbed to death last week by an inmate from a psychiatric institute who was able to come and go at will in part because the cost of looking after such patients in this cradle-to-grave welfare state is becoming too high.语义推理判断。本题要求从上下文语境中进行推断。原文谈到在这个从生到死都享受福利的国家，看护费用过高是导致精神病人能随意进出医院的部分原因，而这种病人随意出入医院又造成了5岁儿童的惨死。由此可推断，该国的福利制度已经不能令人满意，不再有效了。因此，题干的说法是正确的。 注意：能够凭借信号词对语义关系做出正确判断，如可根据原文中because对语义关系做出因果关系的判断。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 While women make up half the 325 million people in the Middle East and North Africa, and in some countries as many as 63 percent of university students, they comprise only 32 percent of the labor force, according to a World Bank report released on the eve of its annual meeting with the International Monetary Fund.数字信息的找寻和判断。本题要求对妇女在各领域内的构成人数进行判断。将题干与原文进行对比可知，原文中说妇女在劳动力中占32％，而非题干中所言占大学生人数的32％，因此，题干的说法是错误的。 注意：迅速对数字及其相关信息做出反应和判断。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 The United States on Tuesday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution, backed by Islamic and nonaligned nations, demanding that Israel back off its threat to deport the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Eleven Council members voted in favor of the measure, while Britain, Germany and Bulgaria abstained.逻辑关系的识别和判断。关于联合国的这项议案，原文"Eleven Council members voted in favor of the measure, while Britain, Germany and Bulgaria abstained."句中信号词while表明了其前后内容的对比，该词前面的内容是赞成(in favor of)，但后面的三个国家都对该议案持否定态度。因此，题干的说法是错误的。 注意：根据信号词对原文语义关系做出正确判断，如原句中while表明了其前后内容的对比。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 Toyota Motor, having topped Daimler-Chrysler's American unit in sales for the first time last month, may be poised to dethrone Ford Motor as the world's second-biggest automaker within two years. It has gained market share since the 1970s, in part by improving the quality of the vehicles it makes. That is reflected in higher customer satisfaction ratings and fewer defects.因果关系的判断。原文中谈到Toyota Motor公司有可能在两年内位居世界汽车生产第二大厂家时，认为该公司自从20世纪70年代以来市场份额逐渐扩大的部分原因是"improving the quality of the vehicles it makes"，即“提高其所生产汽车的质量”，该因果关系通过信号词"by"表明，而题干混淆并歪曲了这一因果关系，因此其说法是错误的。 注意：根据信号词对原文语义关系做出正确判断，如原句中by表明了其前后内容的因果关系。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】 In Jerusalem, where responding to terror attacks has become a grim medical specialty, Dr. David Applebaum was known as the "first man on the scene". He spent years dashing to the bomb sites to treat the wounded, and was an innovator in emergency medical services that are called into action all too often in the city.语义推理判断。通过原文"emergency medical services that are called into action all too often in the city"及"In Jerusalem, where responding to terror attacks has become a grim medical specialty"可推断急救服务在Jerusalem频频需要的原因是该城不断遭受恐怖袭击。由此可知，题干的说法是正确的。 注意：在没有明显信号词提示的情况下，迅速对上下文语义逻辑关系做出判断。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 The Chinese currency, the yuan, is not a free-floating currency like the Japanese yen but is pegged to the US dollar. Its value is therefore essentially unchanged. Beijing is not expected to change this system in the near term, in part because officials there fear that a move now towards free-floating currency could destabilize the country's economy and financial system.因果关系的判断。根据原文第一句"The Chinese currency, the yuan, is not a free—floating currency like the Japanese yen but is pegged to the US dollar."可知中国货币不是自由浮动的，随美元浮动，而日元是自由浮动的，因此可以推测该货币不随美元浮动，这与题干中说日元随美元浮动不符；而且原文最后一句说到"…officials there fear that a move now towards free-floating currency could destabilize the country's economy and financial system."即“中国官员担心调整人民币使之逐渐成为自由浮动货币的举动会使中国的经济和财政体系动荡”，由此可见，可能使中国经济和财政体系动荡的原因是举动(move)，而不是自由浮动的货币制度(free-floating currency)。题干中说日元作为自由浮动货币会引起该国经济和财政体系的动荡，误解歪曲了原文的因果关系，因此其说法是错误的。 注意：正确识别句子成分是解此题的关键。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 Ben Glisan Jr., a former treasurer of Enron, has pleaded guilty to a federal charge that he committed securities and wire fraud, making him the highest-ranking former Enron executive to admit wrongdoing in the accounting scandal that drove the energy company into bankruptcy.特定信息的找寻和判断。原文中提到Ben Glisan的身份时使用的是"former Enron executive"即“Enron公司前任执行总裁”而非题干中所言的现任总裁，由此可见，题干的说法与原文不符，因此是错误的。 注意：主要信息的修饰成分，如定语等经常成为考查目标，因此要对该句中的。former多加留意。
