“The Heart of the Matter”the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Science (AAAS), deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social science to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America. Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.
40. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Illiberal Education and “The Heart of the Matter”
B. The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal Education
C. Ways to Grasp “The Heart of the Matter”
D. Progress Policy vs. Liberal Education
首先我們看到,這是一個主旨大意題,從文段第一段中尋找答案,第一段中出現轉折,也就是有重點突出的部分,我們重點研究轉折后。大多數同學能看懂的是這個report,即前文中講的的“The Heart of the Matter”,它“failure”沒能夠解決某種問題,并且造成的弊端要大于利端。B,D兩個選項沒有涉及到這篇報道,可以先行排除。A,C兩個選項怎么選呢,基礎弱些的同學一時想不起Liberal是什么了,沒關系,我們中心句的態度傾向已經把握了,是負向的,所以看A,C有沒有表示負向態度的呢,A看不懂,C簡單,即“掌握這個報道的方式”,是一個中立的態度,明顯與我們把握的定位句不符,所以排除C,最后確定是A為正確選項。

【題目】
26. The Supreme Court will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to
A. prevent suspects from deleting their phone contents.
B. search for suspects' mobile phones without a warrant.
C. check suspects' phone contents without being authorized.
D. prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones.
正確選項:C
文中劃線處與正確選項C為同義替換,意思是“未經授權檢查嫌疑人的手機內容”,而錯誤選項B則將警察檢查的項目,即嫌疑人手機中的內容(the contents of a mobile phone)偷換為嫌疑人的手機(suspects' phones)。
