78、aspects of American culture.even the hamburger.”可知,作者提到hamburger是为了指出,汽车塑造了美国文化中最持久的方面。故选B项。22.B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster.”可知,汽车的使用,导致了一个全球生态灾难,也就是B项提到的环境问题。故选B项。23.C推理判断题。根据第五段中的“He fears the worst,but hopes for the best.
79、”可知,他害怕最坏的情况,但却抱着最好的希望。由此推断,Friedman对美国的未来仍然是充满希望的。故选C项。【解题导语】本文讲述了一个人因为没有电子邮箱而求职失败,自己辛勤付出、起早贪黑到创业成功,最终成为美国最大的食品零售商的故事。24.C细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知,C项正确。25.B词义猜测题。根据第五段画线词后的句子可知,capital指的是和金钱有关的内容。故选B项。26.C细节理解题。根据第五段的内容可知,虽然面试失败了,但他没有放弃。故选C项。27.A主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,这个人虽然求职失败,但通过起早贪黑创业而成功。Misfortune may be an ac

81、 is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.”可知,Steven Stein的工作是保护塑料购物袋背后的行业,为其辩护。故选D项。29.A词义猜测题。根据上下文语境可知,美国施行了许多关于禁止使用塑料袋的法令,塑料袋制造商雇用像Stein这样的科学家来证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样糟糕,因此headwinds指代前面施行的禁止使用塑料袋的法令。故选A项。30.D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However,longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy t
82、o make.”可知,制造更持久的环保袋通常需要更多的能量,这是它们的弊端。故选D项。31.A主旨大意题。纵观全文及文章最后一段可知,本文主要介绍了塑料袋与环保袋的使用问题。最后,作者表明,环保人士希望有一天环保袋也能够被更好的可再生的袋子所替代。故A项最能全面地概括本文的主旨。【解题导语】本文主要阐述了有机农业在全球的发展。32.C主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文举例说明了有机农业在全球的快速发展;澳大利亚拥有世界上最多的有机农田,阿根廷、巴西、美国和中国紧随其后,印度在有机农业方面的发展最为迅速。故选C项。33.D推理判断题。根据第一段第三句可知,因为有机食品在种植的时候没有使用化学品,受到
