参考解析
解析：
推断题。第一段第二句“一种不为人们注意的不公正仍然很普遍，即按字母顺序排列的习惯”是本文的主旨句。随后作者围绕这一主题展开论述。另外，文章最后一句进一步阐明了这个问题：“Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them”求职者的候选名单、选举投票、大会发言人和参会人的名单，如果这些都按照字母排序的话，他们的接受者在这个过程中会失去兴趣。也就是说，按照字母来排序可能会导致人们无意识产生的偏好。A项过于极端，而B、C项文中没有提及，故选D。

Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the【31】of the year, or manured a field; but we know【32】about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so【33】so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are【34】that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are,【35】they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in【36】an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and【37】them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is【38】conquerors and generals have done -- is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other【39】by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of other side, and then【40】that that side which has killed most has won.(31)A．numberB．lengthC．depthD．width

共用题干What Makes a Soccer Player Great?Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few play-ers who were truly great.How did these players get that way—was it through training and prac- tice,or are great players“born,not made”?First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate.In the history of soccer,only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe .There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player,as was Pele.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood—a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer. For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beetles,had one of the bestEnglish soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a“ball”made of rags.And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest play-ers are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others. According to the author,which of the following statements is true?A: Great soccer players are born,not made.B: Truly great players are rare.C: Only six countries have ever had famous soccer stars.D: Soccer is the least popular sport in North America and Asia.
