46. What does the author say about human beings?
- A. They cannot prosper without cooperating with each other.
- B. They share a common interest and believe in a just cause.
- C. They think and behave alike in different social groups.
- D. They cannot gain independence without fighting for it.
答案：A
答案句：As interdependent beings we cannot thrive independent of others. We like to work with people who are like-minded, with whom we share a common interest, or who also believe in a cause we are serious about.
参考译文：作为相互依存的个体，我们离开他人就无法繁荣发展。我们喜欢与志同道合的人合作，与他们分享共同的兴趣，或者他们也相信我们所认真对待的事业。
定位线索：题干“What does the author say about human beings”→答案句取自第1段“As interdependent beings we cannot thrive independent of others”；文中“cannot thrive independent of others”对应选项A“cannot prosper without cooperating with each other”（thrive→prosper，independent of others→without cooperating with each other）。
解析：题干问作者关于人类的观点，答案句直接指出“我们不能离开他人而繁荣”，与选项A“没有相互合作就无法繁荣”是同义转述。选项B将“common interest”和“just cause”混为一谈，原文是“common interest”或“serious cause”，且并非作者对人类的总述；选项C“think and behave alike”无中生有；选项D“fighting for independence”偷换概念，原文是“thrive”而非“gain independence”。
47. What do we learn about solidarity in an increasingly diverse society?
- A. It gives rise to a complicated division of labour
- B. It involves many aspects with great complexity.
- C. It brings individuals together as environment changes.
- D. It embraces the characteristics of different individuals.
答案：B
答案句：In this increasingly diverse society we live in, solidarity takes on a complex and multifaceted character as it forms bonds of interdependence among unique individuals living in a fast-changing environment and working within a complex division of labour.
参考译文：在我们生活的这个日益多元化的社会中，团结呈现出复杂而多面的特征，因为它在生活于快速变化环境中、在复杂劳动分工中工作的独特个体之间形成了相互依存的纽带。
定位线索：题干“in an increasingly diverse society”→答案句取自第4段“In this increasingly diverse society we live in”；文中“complex and multifaceted character”对应选项B“involves many aspects with great complexity”（complex→great complexity，multifaceted→many aspects）。
解析：题干定位到第4段，答案句明确说团结“呈现出复杂而多面的特征”，与选项B“涉及许多方面且非常复杂”直接对应。选项A“gives rise to a complicated division of labour”因果颠倒，原文是“working within a complex division of labour”，劳动分工是背景而非结果；选项C“brings individuals together as environment changes”偷换概念，原文是“forms bonds of interdependence”而非“brings together”；选项D“embraces the characteristics of different individuals”无中生有，原文强调“unique individuals”但未说“embrace characteristics”。
