付新丽回答:
  答案是C和D两道题都可以通过排除法获得答案,   11,排除法:可以通过选项来排除错误的答案,   A和B其实是同一意思,这是单选题,一道题只有一个正确答案,所以可以排除   C答案是解释polygamy的意思,   D是指编组社会法案,“act”有“法案,法令”的意思.根据第一段所举的例子,the19th-centuryMormonleader,BrighamYoung,withhis55wives,可以推断出来polygamy的意思.同时如果文章的结构把握好,就更能肯定答案C了.作者每一段都在段首提出观点,然后展开论述   12只是一道细节题,仔细些能拿分的.   A的意思是在19世纪,一夫多妻制是人所公认的.而第一段已经说明了是有人【Skeptics(怀疑者)】质疑的,只是支持的一方【Mormons】比质疑反对的一方人数多【outnumber—超出人数】而已.   B是很明显错的.第一段最后一句.   C全文从来没提过,这叫偷换概念,文中之说有人thinkof,没说过begin于何时   D答案从第三段的内容可以推断出来是正确的,从“smile”、“Theirmindsimmediatelycreateanimagesomethinglikeasexual(性的)version(看法)ofaHongKongSundaylunch,withmanydishestotaste.”可以看出theythinkitisagoodidea.   题目不难,只是内容比较复杂,还有几个大型复句,可能会吓到做题人.纵观所有选项,较难的应该是12的选项A,很容易产生误导.
