今天的題目：06年第四篇第三題
Today the messages the average Westerner is surrounded with are notreligious but commercial and forever happy .Fast-food eaters, news anchors,text messengers, all smiling, smiling. Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes. And since these messages have an agenda—to lure us to open our wallets－they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable. “Celebrate！” Commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex, before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.
In the author’s opinion, advertising
A. emerges in the wake of the anti-happy art.
B. is a cause of disappointment for the general public.
C. replace the church as a major source of information.
D. creates an illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself.
[正確答案]這是06年第四篇文章第三題，正確答案D
[解題思路]根據題幹主語advertising定位到第六段最後一句。該段倒數第二句提到這些信息是為了誘使人們掏腰包，這就使快樂這個概念變得不再可靠，選項D為同義改寫。
[干擾排除]根據第四段句第三句可知：反幸福的藝術應該出現在廣告之後，因此選項A錯誤（翻一翻書看看）。原文並沒有提到廣告造成了大眾的失望，因此選項B錯誤。第六段第一句指出如今人們被商業信息所包圍而不是宗教信息，不能由此推知“廣告”代替了“宗教”成為主要的信息來源，因此選項C錯誤。
[核心詞彙] emerge出現 illusion幻覺 lure引誘 track痕跡 ideology思想體系
下一講題目，大家提前做：
The definingterm of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be. The test comes primarily intwo forms: the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler IntelligenceScales (both come in adult and children’s version). Generally costing severalhundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, althoughvariations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web. Superhigh scoreslike vos Savant’s are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on astatistical population distribution among age peers, rather than simplydividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 100. Other standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), capture the main aspects of IQ tests.
People nowadays can no longer achieve IQ scores as high as vosSavant’s because
[A] the scoresare obtained through different computational procedures.
[B] creativityrather than analytical skills is emphasized now.
[C] vosSavant’s case is an extreme one that will not repeat.
[D] the definingcharacteristic of IQ tests has changed.
