2014年考研英语(一)真题及参考答案(17)

[B] define the government’s role in education

[C] keep a leading position in liberal education

[D] safeguard individuals rights to education

37，选C，细节题。根据自然段定位原则，36题在第一段出题，38题在第三段出题，那37题在第二段出题的可能性就很大。同时题干定位”Influential figures in the Congress”与“leading congressional Democrats and Republicans”同义替换。定位的答案是asking that it identify actions that could be taken by "federal， state and …．．， individual benefactors and others" to "asking that it identify actions that could be taken by "federal， state and local governments， universities， foundations， educators， individual benefactors and others" to "maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education． “In humanities and social scientific scholarship and education． “也就是说答案重点在maintain national excellence 刚好与选项C 中的leading position 进行同义替换。ABD与文章不符合。

38． According to Paragraph 3， the report suggests

[A] an exclusive study of American history

[B] a greater emphasis on theoretical subjects

[C] the application of emerging technologies

[D] funding for the study of foreign languages

38，选C，推理题。Suggest 是推理题的标志。先化选项关键词，发现选项A是讲American history选项B；是讲theoretical subjects；选项C]emerging technologies；选项Dfunding foreign languages。返回原文定位的时候，A 选项中的“exclusive 排外”并没有在“stresses the study of history and government， particularly American history and American government；”这句话中体现。B选项中的理论学科没有定位点。D选项与原文“increased funding for teachers”以及“greater study of foreign languages，”不符。属于张冠李戴。“encourages the use of new digital technologies．”与选项C 同义替换。

[A] supportive of free markets

[B] cautious about intellectual investigation

[C] conservative about public policy
