4 Tehrani’s analysis focused on Little Red Riding Hood in its many forms,which include another Western fairy tale known as The Wolf and the Kids.Checking for variants of these two tales and similar stories from Africa,East Asia and other regions,he ended up with 58 stories recorded from oral traditions.Once his phylogenetic analysis had established that they were indeed related,he used the same methods to explore how they have developed and altered over time.

答案

上文第一句出现的了in many forms,相关的内容有B选项中的many different forms，这句中的Little Red Riding Hood对应B选项中的the same basic story，这句中的Tehrani’s analysis focused on对应B选项中的he looked at，所以答案选B。

注意，上文第一句中which引导的定语从句是服务前面的主句，所以我们看主句做题即可，当主句的内容不够的时候我们再看从句，但主句的内容必须是占主导的。

9 Jack Zipes at the University of Minnesota,Minneapolis,is unconvinced by Tehrani‘s views on fairy tales.’Even if they’re gruesome,they won’t stick unless they matter，’he says.He believes the perennial theme of women as victims in stories like Little Red Riding Hood explains why they continue to feel relevant.But Tehrani points out that although this is often the case in Western versions,it is not always true elsewhere.In Chinese and Japanese versions,often known as The Tiger Grandmother,the villain is a woman,and in both Iran and Nigeria,the victim is a boy.

答案

上文第一句出现了定位词Jack Zipes。这句中的is unconvinced【没被说服】与题干中的suggests that【暗示】没法对应，所以要看下一句。下一句中的says跟题干中的suggest that相关，这句引号里的they matter【它们重要】对应的内容有D选项中的they have a deeper significance【它们有更深层的含义】，这句中的they won’t stick unless【除非…就不会留下】，双重否定表示肯定，对应D选项中的only survive【仅在…情况下才会幸存】，所以答案选D。

Q39

A to indicate that Jack Zipes theory is incorrect

B to suggest that crime is a global problem

答案

这道题问的是Tehrani举例的目的。举例的目的一般是为了证明自己的观点，一般观点出现在举例的前一句。上文最后一句出现了例子Chinese and Japanese versions，我们看前一句发现but Tehrani points out that，说明Tehrani和前面的人观点之间是转折关系，相关的选项有A和D，既然是转折，那么两个人的观点是矛盾的，所以答案选A。

10 Mathias Clasen at Aarhus University in Denmark isn’t surprised by Tehrani s findings.'Habits and morals change,but the things that scare us,and the fact that we seek out entertainment that’s designed to scare us-those are constant,’he says.Clasen believes that scary stories teach us what it feels like to be afraid without having to experience real danger,and so build up resistance to negative emotions.

答案

上文第一句出现了定位词Mathias Clasen，第三句出现了Clasen believes，所以紧跟其后的内容对应正确选项。最后一句中的afraid和without having to experience real danger【不用经历真正的危险】对应的选项有A。这句中的afraid对应A选项中的fear，这句中的without…real danger对应A选项中的a safe way，这句中的teach us what it feels like对应A选项中的learning to deal with，所以答案是A。
