Text 1(共4段)
21.C【细节题】由22题干信息得知21题定位至第一段,选取题干关键词rail passengers fares可定位至段首句How can Britain’s train operators possibly justify yet another increase to rail passengers fares?而题干问的是the author作者的观点,不满足题干信息,非解题句;结合题干信息this year’s increase同义替换this year’s rise进一步定位至第三句This year’s rise an average of 2.7 percent, maybe a fraction lower than last year’s, but it is still well above the official Consumer Price Ind-er(CPI) measure of inflation.从词汇复现的角度判断,A、C都有原词,都有成为正确选项的可能,而A选项kept pace with追得上通货膨胀,原文则是well above远超过,故排除;C选项仍然是一个不合理的措施,不合理就体现在well above远超通货膨胀,故选C。B选项第二句、D选项第二段均不在定位处,故排除。
22.A【词义句意题】根据题干可定位至第二段,由stockbroker股票经纪人定位至第二句,本句人物的相关表达为car-driving pensioners,B选项也有相关词汇复现,但驾车领取养老金的人与司机表达不同,故排除;下一句Equally表示并列,即语义一致,人物表达commuters通勤者, 刚好对应上句daily commute of a stockbroker,词汇派生复现,其次原文对于commuters的表达也是the travel of,即traveler;结合上文可知与铁路相关,故对应选项A铁路旅客。C、D选项都位于二段首句中,位置不对,而且C选项仅有invest相对应,而无人物表达;D选项rather than 而不是,故排除。
23.B【细节题】根据题文同序定位至第三段,选取题干关键词train operator定位第二句It is all well train operator trumpeting the improvements they are making to the network, but passengers should be able to expect a basic level of service for the substantial sums they are now paying to travel.原词复现service,故B选项成为正确答案可能性最大:火车运营商不能提供足够的服务,原文passengers should be able to expect a basic level of service乘客应该可以期待基本水平的服务,期待说明未实现,基本水平都未达到,即不足够,故选B。A选项strikes位于第一句和第三句,位置不符;C选项由第一句的commuter拼凑第四句compensation,细节杂糅;D选项无中生有,故排除。
24.D【细节题】根据题文同序定位至第四段,选取题干关键词passengers可定位三四句,由unable to calm down passengers对应anger of passengers锁定第四句They threat of nationalization may have been seen off for now, but it will return with a vengeance if the justified anger of passengers is not addressed in short order.由题干可知railways may have to face后为答案,原文虽无原词对应,但从句子结构判断条件句主句为答案所在,可关注but后如果不能解决则会卷土重来,选项无原词匹配,那么卷土重来是对已发生事情的复制,由but转折可知与前半句“国有化受到的威胁已经解除”语义相反,转折后意味着国有化会再度受到威胁,故选D所有权的改变。
25.D【主旨大意题】首先从题干角度出发,反复表达passenger,railway都无法匹配选项,首末题干也无法排除,情感态度不明朗,因此看原文找主旨句,首段首句,通过fares原词复现,ever-rising对应increase 选择D选项,语义验证:铁路的运营商怎么可能为票价的上涨辩护呢?即票价的上涨不可忍受。A选项第三段细节信息,B选项无中生有,C选项第四段细节信息,无法概括全文,故排除。
