1.[C]第1段第3句说的是题干内容,由第4句Soon…句中的fiveknives...等数字可知孩子会数数了,故可直接选出C。
2.[B]第2段第3句中theyrefused...toconcede...中的they指children,对比题干与原文意思可知孩子们是“难以相信(理解),故选B。
3.[B]第2段倒数第3句。文章是以pencils为例进行说明的,题目中换成了balls,但是目的是相同的,都是为了表述儿童更愿意根据颜色的不同来数数,而不愿数总数,故B正确。A、D都没有提到;C的说法过于绝对,与文章表述也不相符。
4.[B]这道题目需要认真理解了文章的意思才能正确作答。第1段的主题是:有些数字概念是人天生就有的;第2段的主题是:有一些是后天学习获得的。B是第1段中明确给出的例子,因此这个例子应该支持该段的主题。A错误地理解了第1段最后举的例子。C和D在第2段最后提到,都不是先天获取的数学知识。
5.[D]考査全文的观点态度。纵观全文可知,作者很客观、如实地说明事实,分两段报告了心理学家的研究结果,并未做出任何评价,故D正确。题目中的children’snumericalskills即全文的主题。
