    从积极、正面的角度去看。”A选项就是一个正面的例子。一个女助教因为政府缩减资金而被解雇了。这似乎不大光彩,但是这位女士谈起此事时却用了另一个角度,

    人简历不是进行道歉的地方。D项以一个失败的例子说明了这一点:作者的一位朋友说他求职时遭到了歧视,因为他的简历中写了“好学,但教育程度不高”。    
    五、 语段论据匹配题专项突破练习    
    Exercise 1    
    Part B    
    Directions :    
    You are going to read a text about money; followed by a list of examples。 Choose the best example from the list AF for each numbered subheading (4145)。 There is one extra example which you do not need to use。 Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1。 ( 10 points)    
    Aristotle; the Greek philosopher; summed up four chief qualities of money some 2;000 year ago。 It must be lasting and easy to recognize; to divide; and to carry about。 In other words it must be; durable; distinct; divisible and portable。 When we think of money today; we picture it either as round; fiat pieces of metal which we call coins; or as printed paper notes。     
    41But there are still parts of the world; today where coins and notes are of no use。     
    42Among isolated peoples; who are not often reached by traders from outside; merce usually meant barter。     
    This is a direct exchange of goods。 Perhaps it is fish for vegetables; meat for grain; or various kinds of food in exchange for pots; baskets; or other manufactured goods。     
    43。Salt may seem rather a strange substance to use as money; but in countries where the food of the people is mainly vegetable; it is often an absolute necessity。     
    44wrie sea shells have been used as money at some time or another over the greater part of the Old World。 These were collected mainly from the beaches of the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean; and were traded to India and China。    
    45。Metal; valued by weight; preceded coins in many parts of the world。    
    Iron; in lumps; bars or rings is still used in many countries instead of money。 It can either be exchanged for goods; or made into tools; weapons or ornaments。 The early money of China; apart from shells; was of bronze; often in fiat; round pieces with a hole in the middle; called ‘cash。    
    Nowadays; coins and notes have supplanted nearly all the more picturesque forms of money; and although in one or two of the more remote countries people still hoard it for future use on ceremonial occasions such as weddings and funerals; examples of primitive money will soon be found only in museums。    
    [A] For this kind of simple trading; money is not needed; but there is often sometiling that everyone wants and everybody can use; such as salt to flavor; food; shell for ornaments; or iron and copper to make into tools and vessels。 These thingssalt; shells or metalsare still used as money in outoftheway parts of the world today。    
    [B] They will buy nothing; and a traveler might starve if he had none of the particular local money to exchange for food。    
    [C] Cakes of salt; stamped to show their value; were used as money in Tibet until recent times; and cakes of salt will still buy goods in Borneo and parts of Africa。    
    [D] The earliest evolution of these paper notes and coins made of copper had developed rapidly in the western Mediterranean。    
    [E] In Africa; cowries were traded right across the continent from East to West Four or five thousand went for one Maria Theresa dollar; an Austrian silver coin which was once accepted as currency in many parts of Africa。    
    [F] The earliest of these are between three thousand and four thousand years oldolder than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean。    
    答案与解析    
    41【答案】B

    45【答案】F    
    【解析】本题选项D有很强的迷惑性,它仔细分析了金属货币的悠久历史而没有谈到纸币,故选F更符合文意,为正确答案。    
    Exercise 2    
    Part B    
    Directions:    
    You are going to read a text about stupidity for dummies; followed by a list of examples。 Choose the best example from the list AF for each numbered subheading (4145)。 There is one extra example which you do not need to use。 Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1。 (10 points)    
    Sternberg;an expert in intelligence testing;contends that;contrary to public belief;stupidness is not the opposite of smartness。He points out that many of the singularly idiotic acts that e to public attention are the work of people who are;in fact;highly intelligent。He argues instead that stupidity is more properly viewed as the opposite of wisdom—which he sees as the ability to apply knowledge to achieve a mon good。His“imbalance theory of foolishness”suggests that there are aspects of life as a smart person that actually foster stupidity。Which is to say;it sometimes takes a really smart person to do something truly stupid。 Sternberg recently took the time to answer some of our stupid questions。    
    41What attracted you to the study of stupidity?    
    The roots of the book were in my wondering about whats up with people who have very high intelligence in the traditional sense;but seem to be out to lunch in another sense。    
    42The difference between stupidity;foolishness;dumbness and;say;plain boneheadedness
