ontheweek.

1、Thesharepriceswereinfluencedbytheimprovementofthetwocountries'relations.

標準答案：D

知識點解析:文中只有D提到了中美關系,“USrenewalofChina'sMFNtrade

status“，美國繼續(xù)給予中國最惠國待遇。MFN是“most-favored-nalion（最惠國）”的簡

寫.

2^Overtheweek,turnoverrosebyT$5.83bn.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：在過去的一周內(nèi)，成交總額從$35.78bn增加到$41.51bn,兩者的

差額正是$5.83bn。即：在過去一周內(nèi)，成交額增加了$5.83bn。

3、Manypeoplewenttobuycapitalizationstocks.

知識點解析:由于“buyersmovedin(olargemarketcapitalizationstocks”，使得“曼

谷”市場當天上漲2%,且整周上漲3.4%。

4、Inthebeginningmanyforeignshareholdersbuybluechipsathighprices.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：C中的openedstrongly,意思是強勁開盤，暴漲。Foreignbuyingof

bluechips外國持股者積極購買藍籌股。因此，正確答案是C。

5、Pricewasloweraftershareholderssoldstocksinindustrialstomakeprofit.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：參看“Taipeiwaspulledlowerbylateprofit一takinginindustrials“，pull

lower是拉低、下跌的意思，由于在工業(yè)股方面獲利盤的退出，臺北的股市被拉

低。

6、OnThursdaypricedroppedandthenroseagain.

標準答案：B”

知識點解析：B句中，rebound意思是increaseagainafterdecreasing,也就是說價格

在下跌之后乂反彈回來。

7、Thefallingofcompositeindexroseby1.3percentontheweek.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：C句中，t4thecompositeindexfell10.07to2,907.00,1.3percent

8、

標準答案：F

知識點解析：正如許多企業(yè)家一樣，Dave花費了很長時間來實現(xiàn)自己的夢想，他

要給人們提供最高質(zhì)量的揚聲器(offersonlythehighest-qualityspeakers),因此，這

里填入F最佳。

9、

標準答案：D

知識點解析：在下一句中提到，Dave找到了一個被許多公司忽視的市場機會，因

此，此處應該填入有關沒有重視市場營銷的情況，即D：大部分公司把掙到的錢再

投資到產(chǎn)品研發(fā)中，沒有多少用來開發(fā)市場。

10.

標準答案：E

知識點解析：接上題，這是一個什么樣的機會呢?這個機會就是由音樂發(fā)燒友—

喜歡聽音樂、購買一流的立體聲設備—構(gòu)成。選項中只有E有niche這個詞，與

前一句的niche對應，意思承接。

11、

標準答案：B

知識點解析：上面幾句在討論Dave對產(chǎn)品分銷方面問題的看法，他不贊成通過分

銷商來銷售此種產(chǎn)品，因為他們過分壓縮廠家的利潤空間，而且，他們僅銷售少數(shù)

的幾個知名品牌(B)。因此，B是正確答案。

12、

標準答案：G

知識點解析：上句的意思是，“Dave設想越過經(jīng)銷商，直接向音樂發(fā)燒友銷售高質(zhì)

量產(chǎn)品“，那么，這樣有什么好處呢?這樣可以“避免經(jīng)銷商的加價,以更好的服務

和合理的價格服務市場(G)”。

13、OnereasonwhyReebok'smanagerialpersonneldon'tliketheirshoestobecalled

"footwearforyuppies"isthat.

A、yuppiesusuallyevokesanegativeimage

B、theybelievethattheirshoesarcpopularwithpeopleofdifferentagegroups

C、newproductionlineshavebeenaddedtoproduceinexpensiveshoes

標準答案：B

知識點解析：問題是“銳步公司管理人員之所以不喜歡他們管理部門生產(chǎn)的鞋被稱

為是‘雅皮士的鞋’的原因之一是……答案信息在第一段，開頭就指出管理者們

不喜歡被這樣稱呼，接下來列舉了他們針對■不同客戶群開發(fā)出來的多種多樣的產(chǎn)

品，最后的一句話是總結(jié)allofwhichshouldattractnewandvariedgroupsof

customers(所有這些產(chǎn)品應該能夠吸引新的和不同的客戶群)，說明他們的產(chǎn)品是多

樣的，不是單一的。所以答案B"他們相信其生產(chǎn)的運動鞋能夠受到不同年齡段的

人的歡迎''是正確的。

14、Reebok'sviewthat"consumersjudgethequalityofthebrandbythequalityofits

distribution"（Para.2）implies（hat.

A、thequalityofabrandismeasuredbytheservicequalityofthestoresellingit

B、consumersbelievethatfirst-rateproductsareonlysoldbyhigh-qualitystores

C、thequalityofaproductdeterminesthequalityofitsdistributors

標準答案：B

知識點解析：問題是“銳步公司認為，消費者根據(jù)產(chǎn)品的銷售情況來判斷品牌的質(zhì)

量’的看法是指……這是一道推理題。銳步的這種觀點出現(xiàn)在第二段的最后一

句，那么答案信息一定在這一段中。此段主要闡述銳步正在改進upmarket（高級市

場）的銷售網(wǎng)，以達至j其i銷售目標pushsalesto$Ibillionannually,aheadofallother

spoilsshoemarketers（幫助其將銷售量提高到每年十億美元。能夠在運動鞋市場中名

歹U前茅）。其策略是willcontinuetobesoldonlyinbetterspecialty,sportinggoods?

anddepartmentstores（繼續(xù)面向高檔的專賣店、體育用品店和商場），它的這種做法

基于它的認識：消費者認為高檔商店里出售的一定是高質(zhì)量的商品。所以答案B

是正確的。

15、Reebokoncehadlolimitthenumberofitsdistributorsbecause.

A、（hereductionofdistributorscouldincreaseitsshareofthemarket

B、itssupplyofproductsfellshortofdemand

C、toomanydistributorswouldcutintoitsprofits

標準答案：B

知識點解析：問題是“銳步曾經(jīng)有一次限制其產(chǎn)品經(jīng)銷商的數(shù)量是因為……與題

干相關的內(nèi)容出現(xiàn)在第三段的一句話中，partlyoutofnecessity的意思是“部分原因

是出于需要”。后一句說明當時的市場情況是需大于供，A”提高市場份額”和C“經(jīng)

銷商太多會分掉利潤”都未在此提及，所以只有B“其供應落后于需求”是正確的。

16、AlthoughtheReebokCompanyhassolvedtheproblemoffulfillingitsorders,

it.

A^isstillparticularaboutwhosellsitsproducts

B、doesnotwanttofurtherexpanditsretailingnetwork

C、stilllimitsthenumberofshoessuppliedtostores

標準答案：A

知識解析：問題是“盡管銳步公司解決了履行訂單的問題，但它還是……:題干

中的關鍵詞fulfilling出現(xiàn)在第三段,Thesefulfillmentproblemsseemtobeunder

conlrolnow的意思是“現(xiàn)在，履行訂單中出現(xiàn)的問題看來已經(jīng)得到控制”，說明可以

滿足需求了,后面的but引出了轉(zhuǎn)折,正好是題干的問題所在。butthecompanyis

stillselectiveaboutitsdislribjlors（但是公司對于其經(jīng)銷商的選擇還是很挑剔的）。選

項A中的whosellsitsproducts指的就是distributor,而isstillparticularabout與still

selective同義,所以A為正確答案。

17、WhatmistakethatNikehadmade?

A、Misjudgethedemandofthemarket.

B、Sellrunningshoesinlowprice.

C、Mistakenlybelievedthatcustomerwerecrazyontheaerobicsshoes.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：問題是“耐克公司曾經(jīng)犯過什么錯誤?”短文在最后一段中提到了

Nike,它的錯誤是mis-judgedthestrengthoftheaerobicsshoecraze,其中的strength

是指因craze而對市場造成的影響力度。所以這句話的意思是“錯誤地判斷了消費

者對有氧運動用鞋的狂熱所能對市場造成的影響力度”，關鍵詞在strength,并不是

沒有在消費者中產(chǎn)生狂熱現(xiàn)象，而是對市場供需比例的判斷發(fā)生了錯誤。所以選項

C是錯誤的。而后文的wasforcedtounloadhugeinventoriesofrunningshoesthrough

discountstores(被迫將大量積壓的跑鞋放到打折店里傾銷)，只是Nike出現(xiàn)錯誤之

后不得已的做法。所以選項B也是錯誤的。只有A是正確的。

18、WhatlessonhasReeboklearnedfromNike'sdistributionproblems?

A^Acompanyshoulddofbllow-upsurveysofitsproducts.

B、Acompanyshouldnotsellitshighqualityshoesindiscountstores.

C^Acompanyshouldcorrectlyevaluatetheimpactofanewcrazeon(hemarket.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：問題是“從耐克的銷售存在的問題中，銳步吸取了什么教訓?”在第四

段中提到銳步也預測到了市場中的craze,并準備迎合消費者的興趣，說明它已經(jīng)

做了市場調(diào)查，所以A是錯誤的。選項B涉及的是Nike在出現(xiàn)錯誤后做出的補救

措施，所以B也是錯誤的。從上題可知，Nike的錯誤在丁判斷s代在市場中的

影響力度(strength)有誤，因此，銳步需要避免重蹈覆轍，必須作出正確的計劃，所

以C是正確的答案。其中impact與strength同義。

19、

A、In

B、With

C、On

D、By

標準答案:A

知識點解析:固定用法：inadditionto除...之外。

20、

A^built

created

C、based

D^made

標準答案：C

知識點解析：bebasedon以...為基礎、基于符合題意。其他同和on一起

使用的詞有“bebuilton建于...之上”，但含義不恰當。

21、

A、decrease

B、prevent

C、omit

D、reduce

標準答案：C

知識點解析：omit常和item一起用，表示“減少某些條款或項”等。Reduce指的是

縮小事物的范圍、強度、數(shù)量等，常跟speed,pressure,staff,expenses等;

decrease指事物逐漸縮小、逐漸衰弱的過程。

22、

A、realistic

B、possible

C、probable

D、desired

標準答案：B

知識點解析：aslowaspossible盡量低，其他詞不能與這里的low搭配。

23、

A^associate

B、gather

C、mix

D、combine

標準答案：D

知識點解析:associate...with...JC聯(lián)系起來;gatherslhup/together收集;

gathersth./sb.round搜箕、集合：mixAwithB把A和B混合（這種組合往往強

調(diào)混雜不清），mixsb./sth.upwithsb./sth.把某人（物）與他人（他物）混淆；

combineAwith/andB把A和B結(jié)合起來（必要的話兩物還可以分開）。此句意為

“我們將盡力把你要運的設備和其他客戶要我們于同一時段運送的貨物放在一起運

輸。”由此看來只有D符合題意。

24、

A、appreciate

B、satisfy

C、wish

D、consider

標準答案：A

知識點解析：本句表示一種假設：如果我們?yōu)槟銈儗ｉT運輸設備，你們肯定會同

意，但費用耍窗多了。這里只有叩prcciale除“感激”和“鑒賞”外，還含有“貨識”或

“同意”對方觀點的含義。

25、

A^appreciated

B、higher

C、heavier

D、superior

標準答案：B

知識點解析：從句意看只能用higher來表示費用更高；heavier一般不表示費用的

高低；superior表示更高一個級別、更優(yōu)越的，和上下文含義不一致。

26、

A、still

B、even

C、despite

D^although

標準答案：D

知識點解析：這里需要用一個連詞來引出所需要的條件，以便敘述下文。

27、

A、among

B、beside

C、between

D、along

標準答案：C

知識點解析：后面出現(xiàn)了兩個國家，兩者之間應該用“between”。

28、

A^forecast

B、think

C、choose

D、expect

標準答案：D

知識點解析：這里要表達一種期望(expectation)而不是預報(forecast)、看法或選

擇。即“我們期望設備能在你們所要求的兩三天之內(nèi)到達。”

29、

A、guess

B、value

C、estimate

D、judgement

標準答案：C

知識點解析：根據(jù)上下文來看，這里所提到的是運輸時間，不包括包裝時間。其他

詞和上下文不符。

30、

A、end

B、carry

C、bring

D、take

標準答案：B

知識點解析：carryout進行、完成:bringout出版、生產(chǎn)；takeout拿出、取出:

end一般不與oul連用。木句意思為：我理解你們希望自己進行包裝。由此看來只

能選B.carryoutpacking(進行包裝)。

31、

A、part

section

C、piece

D、bit

標準答案：A

知識點解析：pari此處指“零部件"；section指“一部分”；piece指“一片、一張”等；

bit指“一小塊”。

32、

A^kindness

B、approval

C、permission

D、allowance

標準答案：B

知識點解析：“我希望這些初始細節(jié)能得到你的同意……”，這里只有approval（贊

成、批準）和此句的含義相符。pennission（許可、允許）和allowance（津貼、補助、

寬容）都不夠準確。

33、

A、dial

B、connect

C、reach

D、contact

標準答案：D

知識點解析：”有任何建議希望你們馬上與我們聯(lián)系Ldi—al指撥電話聯(lián)系，

connect指利用接線員進行的電話連接，reachsb.byphone/onthephone多指與某人

用電話取得聯(lián)系，以上三個詞都具體指出用某種方式進行聯(lián)系，過于具體化。

contact指以任何一種通信方式取得聯(lián)系，沒有前幾個詞的局限性，比較準確恰

1、Theyareoftenusedforjobslikeengineeringdesignandtesting,seriousdecryption,

economicforecasting,etc.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：段落D是有關巨型計算機的，其主要特點是：performtheenormous

numberofcalculations(進行巨量的計算工作)，如天氣預報、大型科學模型的計算

等,這與本題中提到的工程設計與測試(cngineeiingdesignandles—ling),大型密碼

解密(seriousdecryplion)和經(jīng)濟預測(economicforecasling)等，這歧都需要大量且復

雜的計算，故D是正確答案。

2、Manypublicschoolsnowemploy(hedevicesforprogrammedlearningandcomputer

literacycourses.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：段落A是有關微型計算機，從文中可以看出，它就是與我們常說的

personalcompiler(個人電腦)相近，因此，在學校機房和家庭里使用的電腦都是

microcomputer。因此，A是正確答案。

3、Computersaredesignedforuseinhomes,schools,andofficesettings.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：參看上文，微型計算機就是為家庭、學校和辦公室里設計的，用來滿

足我們?nèi)粘９ぷ骱蛯W習中佗一般應用。

4、IfyoudevoteyourcomputerforthisprojectEntropie(modelingevolutionof

resistancetodrugsanddesigningbetterAIDStreatments),youmightbeaskedtoloada

smallscreen-saverprogramontoyourowncomputer.

標準答案：E

知識￡解析：段落E是關于光柵電腦的，嚴格意義上講，它不是一種電腦類型，

但是從此文介紹可知，眾多電腦通過網(wǎng)絡資源連接在一起做一些公益的或者有興趣

的項R如文中提到的探尋外空間智能生物的研究。如果你希望參與對苣滋病有關項

目的研究，那么，你的電腦就成為光柵電腦網(wǎng)絡的一分子。故E是正確答案。
