8、[Pl]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：前一句說(shuō)財(cái)務(wù)管理是一門(mén)關(guān)于資金管理的科學(xué)。后一句說(shuō)財(cái)務(wù)管理在

人類生存的各個(gè)層面都具有重要性。根據(jù)后一句中的however,可判斷所缺的句子

與后一句應(yīng)構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。而D項(xiàng)意為：這個(gè)術(shù)語(yǔ)主要被用在金融業(yè)務(wù)活動(dòng)領(lǐng)域

之中。后一句正好是對(duì)D項(xiàng)的轉(zhuǎn)折，指出財(cái)務(wù)管理的作用不只存在于金融業(yè)務(wù)活

動(dòng)中，更存在于人類生存的各個(gè)層面。

9、[P2]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：前一句指出在個(gè)體層面的財(cái)務(wù)管理。后兩句指出人們?cè)谝恍┛勺杂蛇x

擇的物品上消費(fèi)，從而做出有益的財(cái)務(wù)決策。根據(jù)前句和后句所講的內(nèi)容，可推斷

所缺句了?應(yīng)主要圍繞個(gè)人的財(cái)務(wù)管理層面來(lái)討論。而A項(xiàng)正是論及個(gè)人的財(cái)務(wù)管

理行為，意為：有現(xiàn)金盈余或可以獲得資金的個(gè)人，投費(fèi)他們的錢(qián)來(lái)彌補(bǔ)稅收和通

貨膨脹的影響。后一句也正好對(duì)A項(xiàng)做了一個(gè)補(bǔ)充。

10、[P3]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：前一句指出財(cái)務(wù)管理的過(guò)程與兩個(gè)方面相關(guān)聯(lián)，即：財(cái)務(wù)規(guī)劃和財(cái)務(wù)

控制。后一句指明財(cái)務(wù)控制是對(duì)現(xiàn)金流的監(jiān)督。根據(jù)前句和后句所講的內(nèi)容，可推

斷所缺句子應(yīng)圍繞財(cái)務(wù)管理過(guò)程中的另一個(gè)方面展開(kāi)。而C項(xiàng)正是講述了財(cái)務(wù)管

理的另一個(gè)方面：財(cái)務(wù)規(guī)劃，意為：財(cái)務(wù)規(guī)劃旨在量化各種可用資源以及對(duì)支出的

規(guī)模和時(shí)機(jī)進(jìn)行規(guī)劃。

11、[P4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：前一句指出企業(yè)的財(cái)務(wù)管理的主要目標(biāo)是實(shí)現(xiàn)企業(yè)自身的各種目標(biāo)。

根據(jù)前句所講的內(nèi)容，可推斷所缺句子可能圍繞財(cái)務(wù)管理想要實(shí)現(xiàn)的其他目標(biāo)展

開(kāi)。而F項(xiàng)正是指出了財(cái)務(wù)管理的過(guò)程中，企業(yè)希望實(shí)現(xiàn)的另外一些目標(biāo)，意

為：企業(yè)也在特定的財(cái)務(wù)處理過(guò)程中尋求生成巨額利潤(rùn)。

12、[P5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：前一句指出財(cái)務(wù)經(jīng)理的目標(biāo)，后兩句指出向投資者提供足夠數(shù)量的投

資回報(bào)，是每個(gè)公司都想實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)之一，并表明達(dá)成這一目標(biāo)的方法，即：高效

的財(cái)務(wù)管理。根據(jù)前句和后句所講的內(nèi)容，可推斷所缺句子應(yīng)是對(duì)前句的補(bǔ)充，具

體闡述財(cái)務(wù)經(jīng)理為實(shí)現(xiàn)高效財(cái)務(wù)管理做了哪些工作，從而實(shí)現(xiàn)公司為投資者提供高

回報(bào)的目標(biāo)。而E項(xiàng)正是論及了財(cái)務(wù)經(jīng)理的另外一些行為，即：此外，他們控制

由外部投資者投入的資金的運(yùn)作。

13、Accordingtotheauthor,threeminingfirms

A、arecuttingthepriceofmelals.

B、haveproblemsintheiroperation.

C、areseekingnewacquisitiontargets.

D^areunwilling(ostoptherecords.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目意為：”在作者看來(lái)，三家礦業(yè)公司將怎樣做”。原文第一段首先

指出三家礦業(yè)公司提議進(jìn)行礦業(yè)史上最昂貴的一次合并，其中美國(guó)公司Phelps

Dodge計(jì)劃收購(gòu)兩家加拿大公司，以成為世界最大銀生產(chǎn)商及第二大銅生產(chǎn)商，并

旦總排名第五的礦業(yè)公司。繼而指出…twootherminingfirms,XstrataandTeck

Comineo,hadpreviouslybidforFalconbridgeandIneorespectively,andcouldmake

furtheroffers.即：另兩家公司(XstrataandTeckComineo)之前分另U對(duì)Falconbridge

和Inco公司報(bào)價(jià)，可能會(huì)提出更高報(bào)價(jià)。因此，三家公司都打算并購(gòu)別的公司，

這與C項(xiàng)中的acquisition相對(duì)應(yīng)，答案為C。

14^Theauthorsuggeststhatifthepricesofthemetalfall,

A、thefirmswillsuddenlyhaveplentyofmoneyforashorttime.

B、i(willbedifficultfbrthefirmstogrowlargerinsize.

C、thefirmswilltrytoincreasetheirproduction.

D、peoplewillnotfocusontheprojectsthataregivenpermission.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目意為：”作者暗示，如果金屬價(jià)格下跌，將發(fā)生何種狀況”。原文

第二段中指出礦產(chǎn)品價(jià)格飛漲，使礦業(yè)公司擁有充裕的現(xiàn)金，并熱衷于擴(kuò)大規(guī)模。

一種辦法就是發(fā)掘更多的金屬，而不是寄希望于股市。但這種根本的發(fā)展在于目前

代價(jià)昂貴。開(kāi)發(fā)新礦也很緩慢，礦業(yè)主管擔(dān)心在價(jià)格高時(shí)得到許可的項(xiàng)目一旦面臨

經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退，將不再對(duì)人們具有吸引力。由此可見(jiàn)，在經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退時(shí)，即金屬價(jià)格下跌

時(shí)，人們將不再關(guān)注那些獲得許可的項(xiàng)目，文中的go-ahead與D項(xiàng)中的“thatare

givenpermission”表意相吻合。

15、Intheauthor'sopinion,thepriceofthefirm'smetalsrisesbecause

A^companiesofferanadditionalamountofmoneytobuyothers'shares.

B、waresareincreasingalongwiththemerger.

C^Nickelandcoppermakesupthemostpartofthefirm.

D、sharesofthecompaniesareincreasing.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目意為：”作者認(rèn)為，公司金屬價(jià)格上漲的原因是……”，原文第三

段指出，那同樣適用于擬議中的合并（指第二段所說(shuō)，當(dāng)金屬價(jià)格降下來(lái)時(shí)，人們

將不再關(guān)注那些已獲許可的項(xiàng)目），PhelpsDodge在Inco公司股價(jià)基礎(chǔ)上加價(jià)

23%,在Falconbridge公司股價(jià)基礎(chǔ)上加價(jià)12%。反過(guò)來(lái)，那些股票隨著公司貨物

的價(jià)格這幾年一直在上漲，在Inco公司，絕大部分貨物是銀，在Falconbridge公司

則是銀和銅。因此，金屬價(jià)格上漲的原因是公司在股票原有價(jià)格基礎(chǔ)上加價(jià)，這與

A項(xiàng)內(nèi)容相吻合。其中，第三段中的PhclpsDodgcUITCIKIaprciiiiuinthe

C、theycanshareotherfirms'facilities.

D、theybelievethefirmswillbesteadierafterthemerger.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目意為：”在第四段中，公司老板認(rèn)為提價(jià)合理的原因是……”，原

文第四段闡述了兩方面原區(qū)，一是他們估計(jì)截止到2008年，通過(guò)共用臨近礦業(yè)公

司的設(shè)備和市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷人員，?年可以從公司聯(lián)合體中節(jié)余九億美元，更重要的是，

他們認(rèn)為新公司的規(guī)模和多樣化經(jīng)營(yíng)可以使其不受礦業(yè)的困難周期的影響，因此會(huì)

對(duì)投資者更具吸引力文中的squeezesavings對(duì)應(yīng)B項(xiàng)中的havemoreprofit；文中

的attractivetoinvestors與B項(xiàng)中的叩pealtoinvestors表意相吻合。

17、Accordingtotheauthor,whywillsomecompaniesboasthighersharevaluations?

A^Theytakelessriskonpricesinthemarket.

B、Theywilleasilygettheminesourceallovertheworld.

C、Theirfirmswouldbeoperatedsmoothly.

D^Theyproducecopperandnickel.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目意為：”在作者看來(lái)，一些公司為何以擁有較高價(jià)格的股票而自

豪?”原文的信息關(guān)鍵句為第五段中的Bythesamelogic,themoreminesafirmis

runningordeveloping,andthemorecountriesitoperatesin,thelessriskeach

individualprojectposestoprcfits.即：同樣道理，一家公司經(jīng)營(yíng)開(kāi)發(fā)的礦井越多，

所經(jīng)營(yíng)業(yè)務(wù)的國(guó)家越多，每個(gè)獨(dú)立項(xiàng)目盈利所引起的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)就越小.其中，thelessrisk

eachindividualprojectposestoprofits是關(guān)鍵信息點(diǎn)。

18、WhatproblemdoinvestorsthinkPhelpsDodgeisfacing?

A^Thepriceofnickelandcopperarealsofalling.

B、Itssharesfellasaresultofthemerger.

C、Itpromisestobuy(hesharesbackinihewakeofthemerger.

D、Itwasunderthepressureofbeingtakenover.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目意為：“投資者認(rèn)為PhelpsDodge公司正面臨著什么問(wèn)題?”原文

第六段引用分析家的觀點(diǎn)，即PhelpsDodge公司自身面臨被收購(gòu)的困境，因此采

用并購(gòu)其他公司的辦法自救。進(jìn)而分別說(shuō)明了投資者也有這樣的懷疑。然后舉出

PhelpsDodge公司股票降低8%的例子來(lái)證實(shí)。最后一段轉(zhuǎn)而指出鍥和銅的價(jià)格暴

漲。最后指出Theniorcinoncydialmillingfirmsspendbuyingoneanolhcr,lalhcithan

exploringforanddevelopingnewmines,thelikelierthatis.即：礦業(yè)公司用于并購(gòu)的

花費(fèi)越多，而不是去開(kāi)發(fā)新礦井，就越有可能成功，因此PhelpsDodge寄希望于

并購(gòu)，以解決自身將被收購(gòu)的問(wèn)題。含意與D項(xiàng)相吻合。

19.[Cl]

A、in

B、on

D、through

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查介近辨析。此處句意為：他以英格蘭別針的制作過(guò)程為例。

因此，此處需要一個(gè)介詞與后面的定語(yǔ)從句whichpinsweremadeinEngland搭

配，表示進(jìn)行的過(guò)程，故C項(xiàng)為正確答案。

20、[C21

A、out

B、up

C、off

D、in

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查動(dòng)詞和介詞的搭配。此處句意為：一個(gè)工人拽出線。A項(xiàng)意

為“拉出“；B項(xiàng)意為“寫(xiě)出”：C項(xiàng)意為“離開(kāi)”；D項(xiàng)意為“加入”。根據(jù)句意，A項(xiàng)

為正確答案。

21、[C3]

A、demands

B、requests

C、requires

D、inquires

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考杳動(dòng)詞辨析。此處句意為：制作針頭需要兩至三道工序。A項(xiàng)

意為“要求，命令”，B項(xiàng)意為“請(qǐng)求”，C項(xiàng)意為“需要”。D項(xiàng)意為“詢問(wèn)”，故正確

答案是C。

22、[C4]

A、one

B、separate

C、different

D、definite

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查形容詞的意義。此處句意為：把針頭放在針體上是一個(gè)工

序。故根據(jù)選項(xiàng)詞義，B項(xiàng)為正確答案，表示“分開(kāi)的”。而A項(xiàng)不符合語(yǔ)法要求，

C項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)與句意不符。

23、[C5]

A、with

B、by

C^through

D、in

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查固定搭配。文中表達(dá)的意思是“以這種方式”，只有介詞in

和manner搭配符合此意，其他都不能與manner搭配。

24、[C6]

A^separated

B、divided

C、classified

D>cut

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查動(dòng)詞辨析。此處句意為：用這種方式制造別針，要把過(guò)程分

為十八道工序。A項(xiàng)表示“分離開(kāi)”，B項(xiàng)表示“分成”，C項(xiàng)表示“歸類為”，D項(xiàng)表

示“切開(kāi)”，故答案應(yīng)選B。

25、[C7]

A、though

B、and

C、which

D、however

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查對(duì)上下文的理解。文中前半部分內(nèi)容為每一道工序都有不同

的人負(fù)責(zé)，后半部分說(shuō)一些工廠一個(gè)工人會(huì)負(fù)責(zé)兩三道工序。根據(jù)前后兩部分的內(nèi)

容，填空部分應(yīng)為表達(dá)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連詞，選項(xiàng)A、D都為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系連詞，但D項(xiàng)

放在句中后面多跟逗號(hào)，此處因無(wú)逗號(hào)，不宜選D,故正確選項(xiàng)應(yīng)為A。

26、[C8]

A、up

B、on

C、in

D、out

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查固定搭配。此處句意為：Smith解釋道“以這種方式一天可

以制作出十二磅的別針”。A項(xiàng)意為“露面”，B項(xiàng)意為“打開(kāi)”;C項(xiàng)意為“退還”;D

項(xiàng)意為“制造出“，故正確答案是D。

27、[C9]

A^individually

B、alone

C、apart

D^independently

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查動(dòng)詞辨析。此處句意為：如果不加分工，讓每個(gè)工人都分開(kāi)

單獨(dú)制作別針，沒(méi)有人可以在一天內(nèi)制作20個(gè)別針，甚至一個(gè)也制作不出來(lái)。根

據(jù)句意，正確答案為D,表示“各自獨(dú)立”。另外，A項(xiàng)意為“個(gè)人”；B項(xiàng)意為“獨(dú)

自“；C項(xiàng)意為“分離”。

28、[C10]

A^efficient

B、important

C、effective

D^excellent

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查形容詞辨析。根據(jù)意可判斷出，本段落要指明分工勞動(dòng)是一

種提高工作效率的方式。故正確答案為A。而其他選項(xiàng)均不符合句意要求；其中，

B項(xiàng)意為“重要的”；C項(xiàng)意為“有用的”；D項(xiàng)意為“好的”。

29、[C11]

A、giving

B、organising

C、finishing

D、performing

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查動(dòng)詞辨析。此處講組織生產(chǎn)的方式。根據(jù)句意，只有B項(xiàng)

符合句意。而其他選項(xiàng)均不符句意要求。其中，A項(xiàng)意為“給予”；C項(xiàng)意為“完

成“；D項(xiàng)意為“進(jìn)行”。

30、[C12]

A、rise

B、progress

C、growth

D、roaring

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查名詞辨析。根據(jù)填空后半部分”...anddevelopment”可推斷

出，and之前的部分意思應(yīng)該與development相近，即“成長(zhǎng)，發(fā)展“，并能與

economic搭配。A項(xiàng)意為“升高”；B項(xiàng)意為“進(jìn)步”；D項(xiàng)意為“猛增”，只有C項(xiàng)符

合要求，意為“發(fā)展

31、[C13]

A^accounts

B、makes

C、counts

D、looks

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考查動(dòng)詞與介詞for搭配時(shí)的不同意義。根據(jù)文意可判斷出，此

處是要對(duì)不同作出解釋。而B(niǎo)項(xiàng)意為“有助予”；C項(xiàng)意為“有價(jià)值”；D項(xiàng)意為“尋

找“。只有A項(xiàng)意為“解釋”，符合文意。

32、[C14]

A、raising

B、expanding

C、extending

D、inflating

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處考杳動(dòng)詞辨析。根據(jù)前文所述內(nèi)容可判斷出，此處句意為：經(jīng)濟(jì)

規(guī)模擴(kuò)大的廠家與停滯不前廠家的不同，故B項(xiàng)”擴(kuò)大，擴(kuò)張”為正確答案。A項(xiàng)意

為“升高”；C項(xiàng)意為“延長(zhǎng)”：D項(xiàng)意為“通貨膨脹”，均不符合句意。

33、[C15]

A、keep

B、reserve

C、hold

D、stand

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)2解析：此處考查詞的搭配。根據(jù)前文所述內(nèi)容可判斷出，文中此處表示“停

滯不前”，而填空后有still一詞，只有D項(xiàng)既符合文意又可以與still搭配，故為正

確答案。
