First, the Simons cannot adequately demonstrate that the White servants position was improving during and after the 1660s; several acts of the Maryland and Virginia legislatures indicate otherwise. An
10、other flaw in the Simons interpretation is their assumption that prior to the establishment of legal slavery there was no discrimination against Black people.

20、 and his family of food in order to buy and run a car, we would consider him mad.（分数：10.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：E）解析：解析 从文中给出的内容我们粗略地知道文章谈论的是一篇有关太空竞争方面的科技议论文。作者对于把技术用于太空科技而不是消除贫穷、饥饿、疾病和战争持否定的态度。从第一段中“The photographs neatly sum up the results of these massive efforts toconquer spaceand at the same time-they
21、 exposed the absurdity of the undertaking”的内容可以判断出来，这句后面的信息应该是“exposed the absurdity of the undertaking”的具体说明。在本空格中，空格前的内容谈到太空探索的结果是“我们最后的收获将是一点月尘和几块石头，把它们放在某个博物馆的玻璃后面展览”。那么作者对这一结果是否定的，也就是认为结果是没有价值的。查看几个选项的内容，只有 E 反映了这一点，故答案为 E，同时排除 A。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：C）解析：解析 主题句推断题。本题缺失的内容是第二段的首句。通过后面的内容我们可以判断出这是一个主题句
22、，空格后相邻的一句中的 just 是提示我们解题的关键，说明前面一句(也就是空格所在的句子)应该也是说明太空竞争的情况，查看选项，只有 c 谈到了太空竞争，与下句承接起来，文中说明的就是大国发展航天事业的真正用心所在：不是简单的一项科学探索，而是地球上竞争的延续。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：F）解析：解析 主题句推断题。本题缺失的内容是第三段的首句。通过后面的内容我们同样可以判断出这是一个主题句。从后面的内容我们可以看出本段的中心是作者对太空技术能改善人类生活水平的质疑。空格后用 but 引出一系列的质疑问题，由 but 转折，我们可以分析出空格前的内容应该是对太空技术持肯定的态度，即能改善人
23、类生活。查看选项，只有 F 反映了这一观点，由此，可得出该段的首句是 F。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：B）解析：解析 逻辑推断题。从本段后面的一句“人类在自己的历史上第一次拥有了和人类的不幸作战的强大技术力量，可是却把它们浪费在毫无意义的追求上”可以推断出，这段内容重点是谈到强国把技术运用在航天和军备竞赛而不是消除贫穷、饥饿、疾病和战争上。查看几个选项，只有 B 与此相关，故答案为B。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：G）解析：解析 主题句推断题。本题较容易，从后面的细节进行推理，很容易就可得出本段的首句是 G。 干扰项分析 A 选项的意思是：越来越多的人甚至开始想象未来几年进行太空旅行。这样的语句
24、如果出现，应该在文章开头，用来列举各国在太空研究方面的现状，但实际上文章从 The photographs neatly sum up.就开始对这种太空竞赛的现象发表评论了，认为这些现象是“荒唐的”，从本质上是国家之间的太空竞赛。所以选项 A 为干扰项。 D 选项的意思是：另一方面，人们从太空竞赛中受益匪浅。这与文章整个主线，即作者反对国家之间太空竞赛的态度相矛盾。很容易判断出选项 D 为干扰项。九、Part C(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The first mention of slavery in the statutes of the English colonies of Nort
