2014考研英语一真题解析阅读一（文都版）

21.George O’s scheme was intended to ____. 细节题。

根据第一题的位置，通过题干中的G.O.’s scheme定位到解题点为首段第二句。Only if the jobless arrive…will they be eligible for benefit.典型的一个条件状语从句引起的倒装，同学们只要看懂了这个长难句，便不难在四个选项中找到该scheme的意图：encourage job seekers active engagement in job seeking.

22.the phrase “to sign on”(L3, P2) means probably means___.词义题。词义题对应的大纲要求便是根据上下文推测词义。Sign on 所在句子为引语“These first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on.”财政大臣认为无业者应把时间花在找工作上，而不是____.选项中与前文构成转折关系的最佳选项应为  to register for an allowance from the government。

23. what prompted the chancellor to develop his scheme? 细节题。此题定位在第二段最后一句，What motivated him,…与题干完美同义替换，故其后内容便是答案 a passion to ensure fairness for tax payers。

24. according to P3, being unemployed makes one feel____.从选项可知为态度题。态度题关键要区分四个选项。uneasy不爽的；enraged暴怒的；insulted受辱的；guilty 有罪的，内疚的。纵观第三段，首句是灵魂。Losting a job is hurting:….与之最为贴切者非uneasy莫属。

25. To which of the following would the author most probably agree?作为本篇最后一题，对应文章最后一段，需各选项一一对应判断。与原文同义替换者为unemployment benefits should not be made conditional。
