7、ment 的概括。A）是针对第 5 段首句提到的 male economists have been on the inside of the profession 所设置的干扰项。C）是对第 6 段末句 More diversity is needed at the table when public policy is discussed 的过度推断。D）的说 法与原文相悖，文中第2段说，女性经济学家更能接受政府对于经济活动的监管 与参与，第3段又提到“为什么自由市场领域的女经济学家这么少”，可见女性经 济学家不像男性经济学家那样支持自由市场经济。3. 【定位】根据题干中的economis

10、他三项原文均未涉及， 予以排除。5. 【定位】题干中的male and female economists differ most是对文中第8段首句 中的The genders are most divorced from each other的同义转述，故将本题出处定 位于此。【解析】D该句提至I，两性对于女性的平等权问题上分歧最大。D）Gender equality 是对句中equality for women的同义转述，故答案为D）。第2段提到，比起男性， 女性经济学家更能接受政府对于经济活动的监管与参与，但是这并不是他们之间 最大的差异，故排除A）o文章末段提到，在经济学教师职位的优先

11、考虑方面， 男性经济学家和女性经济学家存在争议，他们都认为对方享有被优先考虑的权利, 但这并不是说他们对于job creation“提供就业”这一问题存在分歧，故排除B）。 第7段末句提到，男性经济学家同意女性经济学家认为军费开支过高的观点，由 此可见他们对于军费开支的观点应该是一致的，故排除C）oPassage 2The number of postgraduate students travelling from non-EU countries to study at UK universities has fallen for the first time in 16 years, f

24、 in the UK.答案解析【定位】根据题干中的decline of the number of non-EU postgraduate将本题出处定位于第1 段。【解析】C该段提到，从非欧盟国家来英国高校就读的研究生数量16年以来首次出现了 下降。句中修 饰 fears 的同位 语从句 that the government immigration crackdown is discouraging thousands of the brightest students from continuing their studies in Britain 间接指出 了导致这一现象的原因，即the

25、 governments immigration crackdown(政府打击移民的政策)。 选项 C)Changed immigration policies 对应 the governments immigration crackdown,故为答案。 文中并没有提到学费上涨的内容，故排除A)。文中唯一一处提到rising是在第6段，该段 提到了移民推高了英国的房价，但这与选项B)中所提到的生活费的增加并无直接关系，故 排除B)o文章只是在第4段中提到了留学生数量的减少可能导致英国大学的收入减少的内 容，但这与缩紧财政预算的话题并不相关，故排除D)。12 .【定位】根据题干中的UK vice

26、-chancellors将本题出处定位于第2、3段。【解析】B这两段引用英国教育和社会委员会主任乔比尔的话指出，非欧盟国家留学生数 量的减少应该引起英国的大学行政主管们的重视。第3段直接阐述了这些大学行政主管需要 注意的方面：如果英国想要保持它在科研方面的声望的话，至关重要的一点就是要吸引最优 秀和最有志向的研究生来留学。选项B)是对该段内容的同义转述，故为答案，题干中的 biggest concern对应原文中的real concerno文中共有两处涉及英国的大学行政主管们要担心 的问题。第一处是第2、3段通过英国教育和社会委员会主任乔比尔之口指出了英国大学行 政主管们要担心的问题，即:留学

27、生数量的大幅减少可能会影响英国在科研方面的声望。第4 段直接指出了英国的大学行政主管们要担心的另一个问题，即:留学生数量的大幅减少还会 影响学校的收入。这两处均没有涉及怎样获得政府财政支持（选项A）、怎样阻止假冒的申 请者进入他们的学校（选项C）、怎样激发他们的研究团队的创造力（选项D）的内容，故排 除这三项。13 .【定位】根据题干中的 UK universities 和 postgraduate students from outside the EU 将本题 出处定位于第4段。【解析】A该段指出，非欧盟国家的学生所交的学费占英国大学学费收入的1/3o因此， 大学的行政主管们担心随着这些留

28、学生人数的减少，这些大学的收入也会相应地减少。这也 可以理解为，英国大学的财政收入在很大程度上依赖于非欧盟国家的留学生所支付的学费, 这也是他们吸引非欧盟国家学生的原因，故答案为A）。A）是对本段第1句的同义转述，其 中a substantial part对应原文中的a thirdo文章第4段明确指出，留学生数量的减少对英国 大学造成了文化、学术和经济等多方面的不良影响。也正是基于这些因素，英国的大学才需 要想尽办法来吸引欧盟之外的留学生。B）（非欧盟国家的研究生往往非常积极）、C）（英国研究 生的数量急剧下降）和D）（一些研究生项目是专门为非欧盟国家的学生设计的），这三项均与 上述因素不符，

29、故排除。14 .【定位】根据题干中的expectations和non-EU students9 families将本题出处定位于第5段。【解析】D本段引用曼彻斯特大学的蒂姆韦斯特菜克的话指出，那些背负了家人们对他们 毕业后留在英国工作并使所付的学费有所回报的期望的非欧盟国家的留学生现在开始考虑 其他出路了。句中修饰 students 的定语从句部分 whose families relied on them working in the UK after their studies to gain experience and repay the fees 就是这些学生的家人们对他们的期 望。

30、这里的students仍然指的是non-EU students。因此，本题答案为D）。第5段指出了那些 把孩子送到英国学习的非欧盟国家的家庭这样做的目的:他们希望自己的孩子以后可以留在 英国工作，并为他们所支付的学费得到回报。选项A）和C）在文章中并没有提及，故排除。 选项B）（他们的孩子可以在回国后找到薪酬丰厚的工作）则是对原文意思的曲解，故排除。 15.【定位】根据题干中的Beall和the UK government将本题出处定位于最后一段。【解析】C本段首句引用比尔的话分析指出，英国政府目前的签证规定变化可能阻止了许 多非欧盟国家的学生来英国留学，而这会影响到英国的科研发展。第2句so

31、 the government needs to对政府提出了建议：政府应该给予大学等机构吸引国际留学生所需要的一切支持。选项C）是对该部分的同义转述，non-EU students对应原文的international students, adequate support对应原文的all the support they need,所以C）为答案。文章最后一段的两句话层次清 晰，前一句说比尔指出了英国政府的规定对吸引留学生的不利影响，第2句中比尔有针对性 地提出了自己的建议：政府应该给予大学等机构吸引国际留学生所需要的一切支持。A）、 B）以及D）均与比尔对政府的建议不符，所以排除。Writin
