1.[A]事实细节题。
本题考硕猿ぞ涞睦斫狻4拥1段首句中的“…of…”这一结构可知这个最新分析是要研究联邦政府资金问题的。
所以排除B。
由第3段第1句可知这项最新分析是由theCenteronEducationPolicy进行的,因此排除选项D。
根据第3段最后一句,选项C中show的行为主体应为similarstudy。
2.[D]事实细节题。
本题考查因果关系。
第2段第2句指出有三个原因造成超过2/3的地区得到的资金减少,选项A、B、C是对这三个原因的近义改写,但其中选项C与原句的形式分别,容易造成误选。
3.[B]观点态度题。
本题考查文人物的观点。
苏珊・阿斯贝的观点态度只能从第5段推断出,从这一段中的defended和recordamountoffunding可知她对教育部的拨款数是认同的。
选项A和C都是贬义词,不可能表达她的观点;
选项D虽是褒义词,但苏珊是在陈述已发生的事实,而不是发表对教育部的期望。
4.[B]推理判断题。
本题考查对复合句的理解。
由文中第6段第1句中的harder...tomeet...可知选项B正确。
选项C干扰性,要排除这个干扰,关键是要理解第6段第1句中由which引导的非限制性定语从句的作用。
这个从句是对前面“theBushadministration'
ssignatureeducationprogram”的附加事实信息,不属于汤姆・法甘的看法。
5.[C]推理判断题。
根据第6段第1句可知选项A和D与事实不符。
最后一段倒数第2句中的anger和tension两词,可推断人们对此表示不满。
