第七套第二篇关于salon的：
In the 1750‘s, when salons were firmly established
in France, some English women, who called
themselves ―Bluestocking,∥ followed the example of
Line the salonnieres (French salon hostesses) and formed
5 their own salons. Most Bluestockings did not wish to
mirror the salonnieres; they simply desired to adapt a
proven formula to their own purpose—the elevation
of women‘s status through moral and intellectual
training. Differences in social orientation and back-
10 ground can account perhaps for differences in the
nature of French and English salons. The French
salon incorporated aristocratic attitudes that exalted
courtly pleasure and emphasized artistic accomplish-
ments. The English Bluestockings, originating from a
15 more modest background, emphasized learning and
work over pleasure. Accustomed to the regimented life
of court circles, salonnieres tended toward formality
in their salons. The English women, though somewhat
puritanical, were more casual in their approach.
(139 words)
===============================
3. According to the passage, a significant distinction
between the salonnieres and Bluestockings was in the
way each group regarded which of the following?
(A) The value of acquiring knowledge
(B) The role of pleasure in the activities of the
literary salon
(C) The desirability of a complete break with
societal traditions
(D) The inclusion of women of different back-
grounds in the salons
(E) The attainment of full social and political
equality with men

看了好几个论坛上的解释，都觉得不明白，我选的是C，因为我觉得不同就是源于societal traditions啊，再看看正确选项B，后面的literary由何得出？

还是第七套，第三篇关于广告商宣传的：
The use of heat pumps has been held back
largely by skepticism about advertisers‘ claims that
heat pumps can provide as many as two units of
thermal energy for each unit of electrical energy
used, thus apparently contradicting the principle of
energy conservation. (43 words)
===============================
6. If the author‘s assessment of the use of heat pumps is
correct, which of the following best expresses the
lesson that advertisers should learn from this case?
(A) Do not make exaggerated claims about the
products you are trying to promote.
(B) Focus your advertising campaign on vague
analogies and veiled implications instead of
on facts.
(C) Do not use facts in your advertising that will
strain the prospective client‘s ability to
believe.
(D) Do not assume in your advertising that the
prospective clients know even the most
elementary scientific principles.
(E) Concentrate your advertising firmly on financially
relevant issues such as price discounts and
efficiency of operation

我选的A，正确答案C里面的facts明显不对吧？因为广告商给出的宣传完全不是facts啊！为什么选呢？

小弟做题纠结。。。跪求高人解释！

第三篇那个真的是facts……热泵的工作原理是将热量转移而不是制造热量……虽然我知道是因为我是学这个的。那个事实是成立的，只是看起来好象违反了能量守恒……所以虽然我做的时候很容易做对了，但是我还真不知道怎么讲……

The French salon incorporated aristocratic attitudes that exalted
courtly pleasure and emphasized artistic accomplish-
ments. The English Bluestockings, originating from a
15 more modest background, emphasized learning and
work over pleasure. 第二篇我市根据这个确定pleasure的

第一题应该比较简单，第二题是一个削弱论证。广告宣称的就是一个事实啊，正是由于这个事实才造成了怀疑

正确认识单词literary
Webster释义：1 a : of, relating to, or having the characteristics of humane learning or literature b : BOOKISH 2 c : of or relating to books
原文L8:"through moral and intellectual training"及L15:"emphasized learning and work"
