Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
    Section A
    Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2.
    Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
    Swiss Re Tower is a typical example of green architecture in London, and what is most remarkable about this building is its energy efficiency. Thanks to its artful design and some fancy technology, it is expected to consume up to 50% less energy than a comparable conventional office building. Green architecture is changing the way building are designed, built and run.
    Green architecture, a term which only came into use in the 1990s, has its origins in the energy crisis of the 1970s, when architects began to question the wisdom of building enclosed glass and steel boxes that required massive heating and cooling systems.
    The forward looking architects began to explore designs that focused on the long term environmental impact of maintaining and operating a building. This approach has since been formalized in a number of assessment and rating systems, such as the BREEAM standard introduced in Britain in 1990, and the LEED standard developed by the United States Green Building Council starting in 2000.
    Going green saves money by reducing long term energy costs; a survey of 99 green buildings in America found that on average, they use 30% less energy than comparably conventional buildings.
    Green buildings can also have other benefits. The use of natural daylight in office buildings, for example, as well as reducing energy costs, also seems to make workers more productive. Lockheed Martin, an aerospace(航空宇宙) firm, found that absenteeism(曠工) fell by 15% after it moved 2 500 employees into a new green building in Sunnyvale, California.
    47. Owing to its delicate design and advanced technology, Swiss Re Tower in London uses less energy than those traditional office buildings by .
    48. Green architecture could date back to .
    49. Today, when assessing and rating architecture, the long term environmental effect in the maintenance of the building has been .
    50. Green architectures can reduce expenditure on the maintenance by .
    51. Besides the benefit of saving money, green buildings can also bring .
    Section B
    Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
    Passage One
    Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
    Television is often viewed as an anti intellectual medium. But truly clever people know how to use even the most unpromising material, and that is what Val Curtis and her colleagues at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine have done. They employed the mass market appeal of TV to test a long held, but unproven, hypothesis(假設): that the emotion of disgust evolved to protect people from disease.
    They set up their experiment in October 2007, by publicizing it on a BBC program called "Human Instincts". Viewers were invited to visit a website and, after giving a few biographical(個人介紹的)details, to view a series of 20 pictures and rate each of them for disgustingness on a scale of one to five. They were also asked to choose, from a list of possible candidates, with whom they would least like to share a toothbrush.
    The results showed that in all seven pairs, the disease distinct pictures were more disgusting than their counterparts. For things like the apparent depiction of bodily fluids, or of a face that had been "enhanced" with spots, that may come as no surprise. But a crowded railway carriage was more distinguishing than an empty one, and a louse more disgusting than a wasp.
    These last results confirmed Dr Curtis's suspicion that disgust is not, as many disgust researchers believe, just a way of avoiding eating disease bearing materials. Rather, it extends to threats that might be contagious(傳染性的). Indeed, one result of the study was to show that the young are easier to disgust than the old. Another result was that women are more easily disgusted than men. Both of these make evolutionary sense. The young have more reproductive potential than the old, so should be more careful about what they touch and eat. And women are usually burdened with bringing up the children, so have to be disgusted on their offspring's behalf, as well as their own.
    The results of the toothbrush study made similar sense. Strangers are more likely to carry new bacteria than acquaintances. Hence, of the available choices of toothbrush partner, a postman came off worst, and a lover best. A brush notionally belonging to a weatherman was, however, preferred to the boss's. Clearly the British feel more intimacy with the former than the later. Perhaps it might have been instructive to include a famous television personality among the choices?
    52. In the first paragraph television is mentioned to .
    A) prove that what some intellectuals had claimed is wrong
    B) show that TV is an essential part of British people's daily life
    C) demonstrate that mass media is a very profitable industry
    D) introduce the media through which the survey was advertised
    53. The experiment is chiefly done by .
    A) watching the TV program called "Human Instincts" and filling out feedback forms
    B) visiting different websites and making matches between pictures and numbers
    C) rating various photos with numbers and selecting from a choice list
    D) filling in biographical details and choosing a toothbrush
    54. Which of the following is true about the result of the experiment?
    A) A spotted face is more disgusting than a picture of bodily fluids.
    B) A full packed subway is more disgusting than a louse.
    C) A bleeding face is the most disgusting one.
    D) A wasp makes people feel better than a louse.
    55. The results of the experiment make evolutionary sense in that .
    A) old people are less likely to produce goods for the society than the young
    B) people's emotion of disgust is often related to the safety of their children
    C) women are more likely to bring up children independent of men's help
    D) old people are more likely to be disgusted than women
    56. The results of the toothbrush experiment show that .
    A) a boss is normally less clean and healthy than a weatherman
    B) a postman is often dirtier than a lover
    C) a public figure is often more popular than a boss in Britain
    D) a famous television personality is the best toothbrush partner
    Passage Two
    Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
    When it comes to health, the poor are doubly cursed. Not only are they more prone to deadly infectious diseases than the rich, but they have far less access to the means of improvement. Twenty years ago, Paul Farmer, an American doctor and anthropologist(人類學者), set out to do something about this. Amid the political turmoil(混亂)and poverty of rural Haiti, he created a community based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health. It not only delivers appropriate, affordable medical treatment to thousands of poor people, but goes beyond the clinic to address the social causes making them sick and keeping them from getting better.
    As Dr. Farmer argues, improving the health of the poor is not just a medical challenge, but a question of human rights. Tackling the inequality, racism, sexism and other forms of "structural violence" which oppress the poor is as critical as extending the drugs. Or as his Haiti patients put it, medicine without food is like washing one's hands and drying them in the dirt.
    Unfortunately, Dr. Farmer's powerful message is often weakened by his book's academic tone. It does, however, scream out in passages describing the human face of "structural violence". It is these personal stories that make Dr. Farmer's anger at such "stupid deaths" so compelling.
    The good doctor's motives and methods are better described in Mountains Beyond Mountains. This biography by Tracy Kidder traces Dr. Farmer from his unconventional upbringing and unusual education, shuttling (來回穿梭于) between the shacks of central Haiti and the halls of Harvard Medical School, to his later work around the world. Though well written, Mr. Kidder's book also makes for uncomfortable reading. The author is clearly close to his subject, having traveled with Dr. Farmer from the green poverty of Haiti to the tubercular whiteness of Russia. Too close, perhaps. The biographer seems to be seeking his subject's approval, rather than the other way round. Mr. Kidder writes, rather disturbingly, about his fear of disappointing Dr. Farmer, his own pain at wounding him with a critical remark and his relief at the doctor's forgiveness.
    When Mr. Kidder's health falls, this dependence becomes all the more intense. But rather than compromise the book's equity(公正), this intimacy serves to highlight Dr. Farmer's admirable, yet ultimately irritating, character. As Mr. Kidder observes, "Farmer wasn't put on earth to make anyone feel comfortable, except those lucky enough to be his patients or those unlucky enough to need him."
    57. What makes the "Partners in Health" system unique compared with traditional hospitals?
    A) It makes attempts to help the poor on a social level.
    B) It is aimed at treating poor people for free.
    C) It is designed to help the poor rise from poverty.
    D) It offers community help to those who are poor.
    58. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph?
    A) Hands should not be dried in the dirt after washing.
    B) Medicine is also needed for cleaning hands.
    C) Medicine is not a long term cure to their poor health.
    D) Food can cure their disease better than any medicine.
    59. The disadvantage of Dr. Farmer's book seems to be that.
    A) the plots in the book are not attractive enough
    B) the way he tells the stories is not compelling enough
    C) the anger he expresses at "stupid deaths" is too strong
    D) the tone is not strong enough to arouse people's attention
    60. Mr. Kidder's book also makes for uncomfortable reading because .
    A) Mr. Kidder himself has never been involved in Dr. Farmer's life
    B) Mr. Kidder is afraid of making true comments on Dr. Farmer
    C) Mr. Kidder's emotions prevent him from independent writing
    D) Mr. Kidder is always waiting for Dr. Farmer's forgiveness
    61. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
    A) Dr. Farmer only helped those who are lucky enough
    B) Dr. Farmer may have severely criticized the society
    C) Dr. Farmer was not actually making his patients comfortable
    D) Dr. Farmer's job is not to make people comfortable
    Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)
    Section A
    隨著全球能源緊張和環(huán)境污染日益嚴重，綠色建筑逐漸成為全世界共同關注的話題。其特點為減少能源和資源消耗，并盡可能采用新技術和新材料。
    47. nearly 50%
    [定位]根據(jù)題干中的Swiss Re Tower可以定位到第一段第二句：Thanks to its artful design and some fancy technology, it is expected to consume up to 50% less energy than a comparable conventional office building.
    [精解]題目問的是得益于其精良的設計、先進的技術，Swiss Re Tower比傳統(tǒng)辦公大樓能節(jié)省多少能源。該句意為"由于其設計精良，技術先進，Swiss Re Tower有望比傳統(tǒng)建筑節(jié)能近50%"。題干中的owing to與原文中thanks to的同義，traditional與conventional同義。by在此句中為介詞，表程度相差多少的意思，后面應接數(shù)字。故答案為nearly 50%。
    48. the energy crisis of the 1970s
    [定位]根據(jù)題干中的green architecture可以定位到第二段Green architecture, ...has its origins in the energy crisis of the 1970s....
    [精解]由該段可知：綠色建筑的來源要追溯到20世紀70年代的能源危機。題目中的could date back to是對has its origins in the energy crisis of the 1970s的同義轉述，故答案為the energy crisis of the 1970s。
    49. widely taken into consideration in the developed world
    [定位]根據(jù)題干中提到的assessing and rating可以定位到第三段第二句：This approach has since been formalized in a number of assessment and rating systems, such as the BREEAM standard introduced in Britain in 1990, and the LEED standard developed by the United States Green Building Council starting in 2000.
    [精解]本題考查在一系列建筑評估體系中，建筑的維修和保養(yǎng)對環(huán)境的長期影響也在評估之列。根據(jù)This approach has since been formalized in a number of assessment and rating systems可知，這一原則已被成文化，而且下文舉例提到了英國的BREEAM和美國的LEED standard，據(jù)此可知，這一規(guī)則已被發(fā)達國家引起重視。空格處缺少謂語動詞，且位于has been之后，故答案應為widely taken into consideration in the developed world。
    50. cutting long term energy costs
    [定位]由題干中的green, reduce將答案定位到原文第四段第一句：Going green saves money by reducing longterm energy costs;...
    [精解]題目問的是綠色建筑怎樣降低了成本。題干中的reduce expenditure是對saves money的同義轉述，by在句中作原因狀語，后應接動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞形式，即cutting longterm energy costs。
    51. economic benefits
    [定位]根據(jù)benefit可以定位到第五段第二句：The use of natural daylight in office buildings, for example, as well as reducing energy costs, also seems to make workers more productive.
    [精解]題目問的是除了節(jié)省成本，綠色建筑還有哪些優(yōu)勢。根據(jù)下面提到的make workers more productive可知，它還可以為企業(yè)帶來經濟效益，故答案為economic benefits
    Section B
    Passage One
    (52)電視通常被認為是不利于智力的媒介。但是真正聰明的人知道怎樣利用最沒有價值的東西，而這就是在倫敦衛(wèi)生和熱帶醫(yī)藥學校的Val Curtis和她的同事們所做的事。(52)她們借助具有大眾市場吸引力的電視來測試一個提出已久卻沒有被證實的假設：惡心的感覺是人們?yōu)榱祟A防疾病而產生的。
    (52)(53)他們的試驗在2007年10月通過BBC一個被叫做"人類本能"的專欄節(jié)目上進行公布。他們邀請觀眾訪問一個網站，在給出一系列個人細節(jié)信息后，(53)觀眾要看20張圖片，并且用1-5分按照令人惡心的程度給照片打分。他們還要從一系列可能的候選人名單中選出他們最不愿意與誰共用牙刷。
    測試結果顯示，在所有七組圖片中，疾病跡象很明顯的圖片比無疾病跡象的圖片更令人惡心。對明顯的體液外流或是有著被"放大了"的斑點的人臉的惡心就沒有什么令人吃驚的了。只是一個擁擠的火車車廂比空著的要更令人惡心，而且(54)虱子比馬蜂更令人惡心。
    這些最終的結果證實了Curtis大夫的懷疑，即惡心不像很多研究惡心的學者認為的只是一種避免吃帶有疾病的物質的方式。其實，惡心可以延伸到可能造成傳染的威脅上。實際上，該研究的一個結果證實了年輕人比老年人更容易惡心。另外一個結果是女性比男性更容易惡心。這兩點都有著進化方面的意義。(55)年輕人比老年人更具有繁殖能力，所以應該更注意他們接觸什么和吃些什么。而婦女通常是負有養(yǎng)育孩子的擔子，所以也必須為了后代和自身的利益去惡心。
    牙刷試驗的結果也有同樣的道理。陌生人比熟人更容易攜帶新的病菌。因此，在與之共用牙刷的可選擇項中，郵遞員是最令人惡心的，而愛人則是最不令人惡心的。然而人們好像寧肯和天氣預報員共用牙刷也不愿意和老板共用。(56)很明顯，英國人對天氣預報員比對老板感到親近?；蛟S在選項中放上一個電視節(jié)目主持人會更有啟發(fā)意義?
    52. D)。[定位]由題干定位到首段首句Television is often viewed as an antiintellectual medium.
    [精析]從原文首段最后一句"她們借助具有大眾市場吸引力的電視來測試一個提出已久卻沒有被證實的假設"可推知，研究人員只不過是利用電視作為宣傳他們的測試的媒體。第2段首句說"他們在BBC的節(jié)目上公布這個測試"也進一步證明了提到電視只不過是為了引出宣傳該測試的媒介。故D)"介紹借以宣傳測試的媒介"為正確答案。
    排除干擾A)"證明一些學者的聲明錯誤"在原文沒有涉及;B)"證明電視是英國人日常生活的重要部分"并不是文章的中心所在，排除;C)"展示大眾媒體是一個非常贏利的行業(yè)"在原文中沒有提及;故均排除。
    53. C)。[定位]由題干中的The experiment定位到第二段首句They set up their experiment in October 2007, by publicizing it on a BBC programme called "Human Instincts".
    [精析]原文第二段一直在敘述試驗進行的方式，主要是兩件事，一是給圖片定1-5的等級，二是選擇你最不愿意與之共用牙刷的人。C)"為各種照片評級和進行一個選擇"是對文意的概括，為正確答案。
    排除干擾A)"觀看名叫‘人類本能'的電視節(jié)目，并填寫反饋表格"沒涉及試驗，而且試驗里并沒有填反饋表格，排除;B)"訪問不同的網站然后給圖片和數(shù)字配對"不是試驗內容，排除;D)填寫個人信息雖然正確，但是后面說"要選出一個牙刷"不是試驗的內容，排除。
    54. D)。[定位]由題干中的the result of the experiment定位到第三段首句The results showed that in all seven pairs...
    [精析]由原文"虱子比馬蜂更令人惡心"可以推知D)"馬蜂會比虱子讓人感覺好些"符合文意。
    排除干擾原文只是說對于明顯的體液外流或是有著被"放大了"的斑點的人臉的惡心就沒有什么令人驚奇的了，并沒有在體液外流的人體和長滿了斑點的臉之間進行比較，排除A);原文并沒有對擁擠的火車車廂和虱子進行比較，排除B);原文并沒有指明什么最令人惡心，且沒有提及"流血的臉"也排除C)。
    55. B)。[定位]由題干中的The results of the experiment make evolutionary sense可以定位到第四段第五句Both of these make evolutionary sense.
    [精析]聯(lián)系定位句下文"年輕人比老年人更具有繁殖能力，所以應該更注意他們接觸什么和吃些什么。而婦女通常是負有養(yǎng)育孩子的擔子，所以也必須為了后代和自身的利益去惡心。"可以推知人們惡心其實都是和后代的安全相聯(lián)系的。故B)"人們的惡心通常與孩子的安危相聯(lián)系"為正確答案。
    排除干擾原文reproductive potential指的是繁殖后代的能力，而非生產食物的能力，排除A);原文雖提及女性養(yǎng)育后代，但并未提及她們更傾向于獨立于男性的幫助之外，排除C);原文并沒有將老年人和女性進行對比，排除D)。
    56. C)。[定位]由題干定位到末段首句The results of the toothbrush study made similar sense.
    [精析]聯(lián)系原文可知，牙刷測試的結果也是"為了證明人們認為陌生人更容易攜帶新的病菌"。下文提到"很明顯，英國人對天氣預報員比對老板感到親近"，由此推測C)"公眾人物通常比老板更受英國人歡迎"正確。
    排除干擾A)和B)的錯誤在于它們都說老板和郵遞員本身是否干凈，而試驗只是說給人們的感覺，故都排除;D)的錯誤在于電視節(jié)目主持人其實根本不是測試選項之一，只是一個假設，無法判斷其情況，也排除。

    Passage Two
    提起健康問題，窮人的處境可謂雪上加霜。他們不但比富人更容易患上致命的傳染病，而且他們遠遠沒有能力去改善這一狀況。二十年以前，美國的醫(yī)生和人類學家 Paul Farmer開始了解決這一問題的歷程。在政治動蕩、貧困嚴重的海地郊區(qū)，他創(chuàng)建了以社區(qū)為基礎的醫(yī)療保健體系，被稱作"Zanmi Lasante"或"健康之友"。它不僅給數(shù)以千計的窮人提供適當?shù)目梢灾Ц兜闷鸬闹委煟?57)而且還越過醫(yī)療層面，想要解決讓窮人得病或很難康復的社會原因。
    正如Farmer大夫所說，改善窮人的健康不是單純的醫(yī)學挑戰(zhàn)，而是人權問題。它與不平等、種族主義、性別歧視和其他形式的"結構型暴力"等壓迫窮人的現(xiàn)象作斗爭和發(fā)放藥品一樣緊迫?；蛘呔拖袼暮５夭∪说拿枋?，(58)"提供了藥品而沒有食品， 就像洗完了手在灰塵中晾干"。
    (59)遺憾的是，F(xiàn)armer大夫的強有力的信息通常被他所寫的書中的學術口吻給減弱了。然而該書確實在一些描寫人類面臨"結構型暴力"的篇章中高聲吶喊。但是還是那些他親身經歷的故事讓他對"愚蠢的死亡"的憤怒表達得鏗鏘有力。
    這位善良的醫(yī)生的動機和方法在《山外有山》一書中得到了更好的描述。這本由 Tracy Kidder 撰寫的傳記，追溯了Farmer大夫非同尋常的成長和教育背景，文字穿梭于海地中部的棚屋、哈佛大學醫(yī)學院的禮堂和他后來在全世界所做的工作之間。盡管寫得不錯，但是 Kidder先生的書讀起來并不舒服。作者本人很明顯和他所寫的人物關系緊密，他和 Farmer大夫一起到過溫暖而貧困的海地，也到過寒冷而易得結核病的俄羅斯。(60)可能是因為關系太親密了，作者好像一直在尋求被描寫對象的贊同。他非?？鄲赖孛枋隽怂ε伦孎armer大夫失望的恐懼和用批評的字眼傷害大夫的痛苦，以及對大夫的諒解所感到的欣慰。
    當Kidder先生的健康每況愈下時，對大夫的這種依賴性就更加嚴重。但是，這不但沒有使這本書有失公正，這種親密倒突出了Farmer大夫那令人欽佩而又令人憤怒的性格。正如Kidder先生所寫：(61)"Farmer不是到這個世界上讓任何人都感到舒適的，除了那些幸運地成為他的病人的人，或者那些完全不幸地需要他的人。"
    57. A)。[定位]由題干中的the "Partners in Health" system定位到原文首段第四句he created a community based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health。
    [精析]原文首段末尾說"它不僅給大量窮人提供適當?shù)目梢灾Ц兜闷鸬闹委煟€越過醫(yī)療層面，想要解決讓窮人得病或很難康復的社會原因"。由此可推測此醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)與傳統(tǒng)醫(yī)院相比的獨特之處在于It makes attempts to help the poor on a social level.(它試圖在社會層面上幫助窮人)，故A)為正確答案。
    排除干擾原文并沒有說免費，而是"提供恰當?shù)目梢灾Ц兜闷鸬闹委?，排除B);聯(lián)系原文，可知其目的主要是為窮人治病，進而解決讓窮人得病或很難康復的社會原因，并不是為了窮人脫貧，排除C);D) 中community help(社區(qū)救助)太過籠統(tǒng)和泛化，文中僅指有關治病的方面，也排除。
    58. C)。 [定位]由題干中的the last sentence of the second paragraph定位到原文第二段末句Or as his Haiti patients aptly put it, medicine without food is like washing one's hands and drying them in the dirt.
    [精析]原文第二段強調了一個概念，即"窮人的健康問題其實不是簡單的醫(yī)療問題，還有人權問題"。藥物只能治愈窮人的疾病，沒有食物，即沒有消滅貧窮就像把手放在灰塵中晾干，手還會臟的，即還是會生病的。據(jù)此可以推知，C)Medicine is not a longterm cure to their poor health(藥物無法使他們長期保持健康)與文意相符，為正確答案。
    排除干擾原文只是一個打比方的說法，并非真的說在那里晾手，排除A);原文并非指洗手也需要藥物，這是對原文比喻的誤解，排除B);聯(lián)系原文可推知，食物是保持健康的保證，原文并沒有對藥物和食品的治療功效進行比較，也排除D)。
    59. D)。[定位]由題干中的The disadvantage of Dr. Farmer's book定位到原文第三段首句Unfortunately, Dr. Farmer's powerful message is often weakened by his book's academic tone.
    [精析]該句說明"他的強有力的信息通常被他所寫的書的學術口吻給減弱了"，言下之意就是口氣不夠強，故D)"口氣不夠強，很難引起他人的注意"與文意相符，正確。
    排除干擾原文并沒有對他的書的情節(jié)進行評價，故A)"書中的情節(jié)不夠吸引人"與原文不符，排除;原文沒有對該書內容敘述的方式做出評價，故B)認為"其內容敘述方式不夠吸引人"與原文不符，排除;他對"愚蠢的死亡"的憤怒表達得鏗鏘有力是該書的優(yōu)點，與題干所問不符，故排除C)。
    60. C)。[定位]由題干可以定位到原文第四段第三句Though well written, Mr. Kidders book also makes for uncomfortable reading.
    [精析]原文第四段最后兩句說"作者好像一直在尋求描寫對象的同意，他非?？鄲赖孛枋隽怂ε伦孎armer大夫失望的恐懼和用批評的字眼傷害大夫的痛苦以及對大夫的諒解所感到的欣慰"。由此推測，他對大夫的情感使他不能獨立地寫作。故C)"Mr. Kidder的感情妨礙了他寫作的獨立性"正確。
    排除干擾由原文"他和 Farmer大夫一起到過溫暖而貧困的海地，也到過寒冷而易得結核病的俄羅斯"可推知，兩者曾在一起生活過，故排除A);原文只是說Mr. Kidder在寫作上考慮了Dr. Farmer的認同，并沒有說他害怕做出真實的評論，故排除B);原文說道該書中已經描寫了Mr. Kidder在得到Dr. Farmer的諒解后所感到的欣慰，故D)"他還一直在等后者的諒解"錯誤，也排除。
    61. B)。[定位]由題干中的from the last paragraph可以定位到末段。
    [精析]原文末段說"這種親密倒突出了Farmer大夫那令人欽佩而又令人憤怒的性格"。Kidder先生寫道，"Farmer不是到這個世界上讓任何人感到舒適的"，由此推知，他對社會的種種不平等，特別是"結構型暴力"非常憤怒，因此很可能曾嚴厲地批評過這個社會，因此才會"讓很多人感到不舒服"，故B)正確。
    排除干擾原文說，能得到Farmer醫(yī)治的人是幸運的，并非說只幫助那些足夠幸運的人，A)與原文不符;C)錯誤，原文說除了那些幸運地成為他的病人的人，或那些完全不幸地需要他的人，F(xiàn)armer不是到這個世界上讓任何人感到舒適的，意思并非讓他的病人不舒服，排除;D)忽視了其作為醫(yī)生為病人治病，給人帶來健康的一面，故排除。
