答案:
1.A。
根据题干中的“infer”可以排除B项和D项,因为这两项在文中有直接体现,而非读者通过阅读之后“推断”出来的内容,C项表述错误。
故答案为A。
2.C。
根据理解以及短文第一段的说明“A‘sitter’issomeonewhoishiredtocareforchildrenforaspecificlengthoftime—usuallyrelativelyshort—whiletheparentsareout…”可以知道,故答案为C。
3.D。
短
文中并没有提及对这一职业的性别限制,所以应该是全部都可以,故答案为D。
4.C。
由第一段“Forshortperiods,teen-agers,collegesstudents,nursingstudents,andothersarecommonlyemployedonanhourlybasis.”可以知道,短期的保姆就雇佣青年人比较合适。
5.B。
本题比较简单,B选项概括了短文的内容,而且比较简练。

从文章第一段倒数第三句"Remember,adsmustbereadexactlyaccordingtothedictionarydefinitionofwords."可见,作者认为观众应该根据字典的解释来看待广告词。
3.C。
推理题。
本题应从第二段推测,第二段主要意思是广告怎样使你沉浸在美好的想象中,且从文章的用词(pleasant,romantic.。
.)我们可知,所产生的联想都是与精神和情绪有关的。
4.D。
推理题。
题于为"广告商通常使用暖昧、不明确的语言来…",本文说的是广告词使观众产生联想,与此有关的选项是D。
5.D。
主旨题。
文章主要说的是"像"一词在广告词中的应用,B,C与文意无关…且从作者的语气我们可以判断作者对广告商的这种做法是持反对态度的,从而排除A。
故选D。

nswiththeBritishgovernment.
答案:
1.D。
由题干in1997直接定位于文章第一句tosupporttheRedCross’sCampaignforatotalbanonallanti-personnellandmines,D项是原文的同义改写。
2.D。
本句中的figures,指的不是前面提到的统计数字,而是后面列举的小女孩Sandra等深受地雷伤害的人;另一个是bringsth.home这个短语是指“活生生的揭示,以强调的形式清楚的表示”。
所以本句的意思是亲眼看到被地雷伤害的人使王妃深切感受到了事实。
3.C。
由somemembersoftheBritishgovernment定位与第三段第一句
