①Last weekend Kyle MacDonald in Montreal threw a party to celebrate the fact that he got

his new home in exchange for a red paper clip.② Starting a year ago, MacDonald bartered the

clip for increasingly valuable stuff, including a camp stove and free rent in a Phoenix flat. ③

Having announced his aim (the house) in advance, MacDonald likely got a boost from techies

eager to see the Internet pass this daring test of its networking power.④― My whole motto was

Start small, think big, and have fun ‘ ,says‖ MacDonald, 26, ― Ireally kept my effort on the

creative side rather than the business side.‖

①Yet as odd as the MacDonald exchange was, barter is now big business on the Net. ②

This year more than 400,000 companies worldwide will exchange some ＄ 10 billion worth of

goods and services on a growing number of barter sites.③ These Web sites allow companies to

trade products for a virtual currency, which they can use to buy goods from other members.④ In

Iceland, garment-maker Kapusalan sells a third of its output on the booming Vidskiptanetid

exchange, earning virtual money that it uses to buy machinery and pay part of employee salaries.

⑤The Troc-Services exchange in France offers more than 4,600 services, from math lessons to

ironing.

①This is not a primitive barter system. ② By creating currencies, the Internet removes a major

barrier— what Bob Meyer, publisher of Barter News , calls― the double coincidence of wants③.

‖That is, two parties once not only had to find each other, but also an exchange of goods that both

desired. ④ Now, they can price the deal in virtual currency. ① Barter also helps firms make use of idle capacity.② For example, advertising is―hugely bartered ‖causebe many media, particularly on the Web, can supply new ad space at little cost.③Moreover, Internet ads don ‘register in industry -growth statistics, because many exchanges are

arranged outside the formal exchanges.

① Like e Bay, most barter sites allow members to―grade‖ trading partners for honesty, quality

and so on. ② Barter exchanges can allow firms in countries with hyperinflation or nontradable currencies to enter global trades. ③ Next year, a nonprofit exchange called Quick Lift Two (QL2) plans to open in Nairobi, offering barter deals to 38,000

Kenyan farmers in remote areas.④ Two small planes will deliver the goods.⑤ QL2 director GaciiWaciuma says the farmers are excited to be ― liberated from corrupt middlemen.‖⑥ For them, barter evokes a bright future, not a precapitalist past.

21. The word― techies‖ (Para. 1) probably refers to those who are ___________.

[A]afraid of technology [B]skilled in technology [C]ignorant of technology [D]incompetent in technology

22.Many people may have deliberately helped Kyle because they ___________.

[A]were impressed by his creativity [B]were eager to identify with his motto [C]liked his goal announced in advance [D]hoped to prove the power of the Internet

23.The Internet barter system relies heavily on ___________. [A]the size of barter sites [B]the use of virtual currency [C]the quality of goods or services [D]the location of trading companies

24.It is implied that Internet advertisements can help ___________.

[A]companies make more profit [B]companies do formal exchanges [C]media register in statistics [D]media grade barter sites

25.Which of the following is true of QL2 according to the author?

[A]It is criticized for doing business in a primitive way.

[B]It aims to deal with hyperinflation in some countries. [C]It helps get rid of middlemen in trade and exchange. [D]It is intended to evaluate the performance of trading partners.

①Internet commerce did not exist at the beginning of this decade, but now it is a supercharged

engine driving the world economy. ② Industries are redesigning themselves around new methods of doing things. ③ Survivors will be those that successfully adapt their processes in the New Economy, according to Robert D. Atkinson and Randolph H. Court. ④― Three main foundations

will underpin strong and widely shared economic growth in the New Economy: (1) development

of a ubiquitous digital economy, (2) increased research and innovation, and (3) improved skills

and knowledge of the work force,‖ write Atkinson and Court. ① The total U.S. Internet economy more than doubled in just one year, from＄15.5 billion in 1996 to nearly ＄ 39 billion in 1997.② By 2001, the Internet economy will soar to＄350 billion, with business-to-business activity leading the way. ③ Another sign of the growth of the digital economy is the mushrooming of Internet hosts, which are nearly doubling in the United States every year. ④ More households, businesses, and schools are on the Net, too. ⑤ The only laggard in the digital revolution is government: Local, state, and federal governments combined spent 9.4%

more each year on computers between 1986 and 1996, while business spent 22% more a year

in the same period.

①Venture capitalists are pouring money into the

development of growing companies, often

becoming involved as board members and advisers, and helping startups refine business plans.

①―It ‘importants to keep an eye on the straight dollar amount of venture capital in the

economy, but it‘ s just as important to remember the exponential ripple effect of the cash,

Atkinson and Court. ②― Many of the gazelles of the New Economy are venture-backed

companies, and they are having a profound impact — employment in venture-backed companies

increased 34%annually between 1991 and 1995 while employment in Fortune 500 companies

declined 3.6%.③ Moreover, venture-capital-backed firms are more technologically innovative

than other firms.‖

①The numbers of engineers and scientists are growing; jobs requiring science and

engineering expertise will grow three times faster than other occupations between 1994 and 2005.

②Without adequately prepared homegrown workers to fill these jobs, and with decreased

corporate spending on training programs, the demand for engineers and scientists will increasingly

be met by immigrants. ③ Already, almost one-fourth of engineers in the U.S. who earned Ph.D.s

in the last five years are foreign born.

①Atkinson and Court conclude: ―The New Economy puts a premium on what Nobel laureate

economist Douglas North calls ?adaptive efficiency —‘the

ability of institutions to innovate,

continuously learn, and productively cha nge ?② If we are to ask workers to take the risks inherent

in embracing the New Economy, we must equip them with the tools to allow them to prosper and

cope with change and uncertainty. ③ If we fail to invest in a knowledge infrastructure — world-class

education, training, science, and technology — our enterprises will not have the skilled workers and

cutting-edge tools they need to grow and create well- paying jobs.‖

26.We learn from the text that ________ seems to be more important for a person to survive

the New Economy. [A]adaptability [B]diligence [C]intelligence [D]modesty

①When Thomas Keller, one of America‘sforemost chefs, announced that on Sept. 1 he

would abolish the practice of tipping at Per Se, his luxury restaurant in New York City, and replace it

with a European-style service charge, I knew three groups would be opposed: customers, servers

and restaurant owners. ② These three groups are all committed to tipping — as they quickly made

clear on Web sites. ③ To oppose tipping, it seems, is to be anticapitalist, and maybe even a little

French.

①But Mr. Keller is right to move away from tipping —and it ‘worths exploring why just

about everyone else in the restaurant world is wrong to stick with the practice.

①Customers believe in tipping because they think it makes economic sense. ②―Waiters

know that they won‘ t get paid if they don‘ t do a good job‖ is how most advocates of the system would put it. ③To be sure, this is a tempting, apparently rational statement about economic theory,

but it appears to have little applicability to the real world of restaurants.

①Michael Lynn, an associate professor of consumer behavior and marketing at Cornell ‘s

School of Hotel Administration, has conducted dozens of studies of tipping and has concluded

that consumer ‘ s assessments of the quality of service correlate weakly to the amount they tip.

①Rather, customers are likely to tip more in response to servers touching them lightly and

leaning forward next to the table to make conversation than to how often their water glass is

refilled — in other words, customers tip more when they like the server, not when the service is good.

② Mr. Lynn ‘ s studies also indicate that male customers increase their tips for female servers while

female customers increase their tips for male servers. ①What‘s more, consumers seem to forget that the tip increases as the bill increases. ② Thus,

the tipping system is an open invitation to what restaurant professionals call ―upselling ‖ :every

bottle of imported water, every espresso and every cocktail

is extra money in the server‘③Aggressive upselling for tips is often rewarded while low-key, quality service often goes

unrecognized.

①In addition, the practice of tip pooling, which is the norm in fine-dining restaurants and is

becoming more common in every kind of restaurant above the level of a greasy spoon, has ruined

whatever effect voting with your tip might have had on an individual waiter.② In an unreasonable

outcome, you are punishing the good waiters in the restaurant by not tipping the bad one. ③ Indeed,

there appears to be little connection between tipping and good service.

31.It may be inferred that a European-style service___________. [A]is tipping-free [B]charges little tip

[C] is the author‘ s initiative [D] is offered at Per Se

32.Which of the following is NOT true according to the author?

[A]Tipping is a common practice in the restaurant world. [B]Waiters don ‘ t care about tipping. [C]Customers generally believe in tipping.

[D]Tipping has little connection with the quality of service. 33.According to Michael Lynn‘ s studies, waiters will likely get more tips if they ___________.

[A] have performed good service

[B] frequently refill customer‘ s water glass [C] win customer ‘ s favor

[D] serve customers of the same sex

34.We may infer from the context that― upselling ‖ (Para. 6) probably means __________.

[A]selling something up [B]selling something fancy [C]selling something unnecessary [D]selling something more expensive 35.This text mainly discusses ___________. [A]reasons to abolish the practice of tipping [B]economic sense of tipping

[C]consumers ‘ attitudes towards tipping [D]tipping for good service Text 4

①Henric Ibsen, author of the play―A Doll‘s House‖, in which a pretty, helpless housewife

abandons her husband and children to seek a more serious life, would surely have approved.②

From January 1st, 2008, all public companies in Norway are obliged to ensure that at least 40% of

their board directors are women. ③ Most firms have obeyed the law, which was passed in 2003.

④But about 75 out of the 480 or so companies it affects are still too male for the government‘s liking. ⑤ They will shortly receive a letter informing them that they have until the end of

February to act, or face the legal consequences— which could include being dissolved.

①Before the law was proposed, about 7% of board members in Norway were female,

according to the Centre for Corporate Diversity.② The number has since jumped to 36%.③ That

is far hig her than the average of 9% for big companies across

Europe or America‘ s 15% for the Fortune 500. ④ Norway ‘ s stock exchange and its main business lobby oppose the law, as do many businessmen. ⑤― I am against quotas for women or men as a matter of principle,says‖SverreMunck, head of international operations at a media firm.⑥ ― Boardmembers of public

companies should be chosen solely on the basis of merit and experience,he‖says. ⑦ Several

firms have even given up their public status in order to escape the new law.

① Companies have had to recruit about 1,000 women in four years. ② Many complain that it

has been difficult to find experienced candidates. ③ Because of this, some of the best women have

collected as many as 25-35 directorships each, and are known in Norwegian business circles as the

―golden skirts ④ One‖. reason for the scarcity is that there are fairly few women in management

in Norwegian companies — they occupy around 15% of senior positions. ⑤ It has been particularly

hard for firms in the oil, technology and financial industries to find women with enough experience.

①Some people worry that their relative lack of experience may keep women quiet on boards,

and that in turn could mean that boards might become less able to hold managers to account.②

Recent history in Norway, however, suggests that the right women can make strong directors.③

― Women feel more compelled than men to do their homework,‖ says Ms RekstenSkaugen, who was voted

Norway‘ s chairman of the year for 2007,― and we can afford to ask the hard questions, because women are not always expected to know the answers. ‖

36. The author mentions Ibsen‘ s play in the first paragraph in order to ___________.

[A]depict women‘ s dilemma at work [B]explain the newly passed law [C]support Norwegian government [D]introduce the topic under discussion

37.A public company that fails to obey the new law could be forced to ___________.

[A]pay a heavy fine [B]close down its business [C]change to a private business [D]sign a document promising to act

38.To which of the following is SverreMunck most likely to agree?

[A]A set ratio of women in a board is unreasonable. [B]A reasonable quota for women at work needs to be set. [C]A common principle should be followed by all companies. [D]An inexperienced businessman is not subject to the new law.

39. The author attributes the phenomenon of― golden skirts‖ to ___________.

[A]the small number of qualified females in management [B]the over-recruitment of female managers in public companies

[C]the advantage women enjoy when competing for senior positions

[D]the discrimination toward women in Norwegian business

circles

40.The main idea of the text might be___________. [A]female power and liberation in Norway [B] the significance of Henric Ibsen‘ s play [C]women‘ s status in Norwegian firms

[D]the constitution of board members in Norway Part B Sample 1 Directions：

①The World economy has run into a brick wall. ② Despite countless warnings in recent

years about the need to address a looming hunger crisis in poor countries and a looming energy

crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. ③ The result is a global food crisis. ④ Wheat,

corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years, and oil prices have more than

tripled since the start of 2004. ⑤ These food-price increases combined with soaring energy costs will

slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even undermine political stability,

as evidenced by the protest riots that have erupted in places in Haiti,

Bangladesh and Burkina Faso. ⑥Practical solutions to these growing woes do exist,but we‘ ll

have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.

① The crisis has its roots in four interlinked trends. ② The first is the chronically low

productivity of farmers in the poorest countries,caused by their inability to pay for seeds,

fertilizers and irrigation.③ The second is the misguided policy in the U.S.and Europe of

subsidizing the diversion of food crops to produce biofuels like corn-based ethanol.④ The third is

climate change; take the recent droughts in Australia and Europe, which cut the global production of

grain in 2005 and 2006. ⑤ The forth is the growing global demand for food and feed grains brought

on by swelling populations and incomes. ⑥ In short, rising demand has hit a limited supply, with the

poor taking the hardest blow.

①So, what should be done? ② Here are three steps to ease the current crisis and avert the

potential for a global disaster. ③ The first is to scale-up the dramatic success of Malawi,a

famine-prone country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help

its farmers get fertilizer and high-yield seeds.④ Malawi‘s harvest doubled after just one year.⑤

An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere ＄ 10 per person annually in the

rich world, or ＄ 10 billion in all. ⑥ Such a fund could fight hunger as effectively as the

①Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of subsidizing the conversion of

food into biofuels. ② The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed subsidy of 51 cents

per gal of ethanol to divert corn from the food and feed-grain supply.③ There may be a case for

biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods— tree crops (like palm oil), grasses and

wood products — but there‘ s no case for doling out subsidies to put the world‘ s dinner into the tank. ④Third, we urgently need to weatherproof the world‘ s cropsnda aseffectivelysoona as

possible. ⑤ For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond–which collects

rainwater to be used for emergency irrigation in a dry spell–can make the difference between a

bountiful crop and a famine.⑥ The world has already committed to establishing a Climate

Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food

production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.

There are different types of Business-to-Business (B2B) e-commerce sites that work in various

ways and are broken into two major groups: the verticals and horizontals. Verticals are Business-to-Business (B2B) sites designed specifically to meet the needs of a particular industry, such as retail. Vertical sites are the most likely to contain community features like industry news, articles, and discussion groups. Horizontals provide products, goods, materials, or services that are not specific to

a particular industry or company. Horizontals that retailers could use might provide travel, transportation services, office equipment, or maintenance and operating supplies.

Horizontals and verticals can connect buyers and sellers together directly or act as intermediaries

who facilitate transactions. There isn ‘onet model that appears everywhere for Business-to Business

e-commerce. Business-to Business (B2B) sites vary from those

providing

simple

lead generation,

1.[ 试题考点 ] 语意关系 +介词辨析。

[ 解题思路 ] 本题空格位于第一段句①，该句意为“奥运会每四年在不同的地方举办一次，

奥运会上不同国家的运动员互相竞争”。空格中所填入的词语需表达atheletes 和

different nations 之间的关系。奥运会是世界性的体育盛会，所以应该是各国的运动员齐

聚一起参加比赛，故这里要表述的是来自不同国家的运动员（来参加比赛）。选项 [D]from 意为“从；来自于 ,, ”，符合文意，为答案。

[ 干扰排除 ] 选项 [A]in 意为“在 ,, 里；在 ,, 之中”，选项 [C]of 表示“属于；关于”，虽可以正确表示运动员和不同国家的关系（不同国家的运动员），但无法表示“运动员

从不同国家都来参加”的意思，故排除。选项[B]for可意为“代表某人（某事物）”，但文中奥运会是一个国际性的体育赛事，并没有运动员特别代表某个国家的意思，故排除。

2.[ 试题考点 ] 语意关系 +名词辨析。

[ 解题思路 ] 本题空格位于第一段句①，空格处应填入一个名词，构成“ a +名词+ of

”

结构，修饰sports。观察各选项，每个选项都可以构成上述结构。由常识可知，奥运会

的竞技项目十分丰富，选项[C] 构成的搭配“ a variety of ”表示“各种各样的 ,, ”，放

入文中表示出奥运会的竞技项目种类繁多之意，更符合文意，故正确。

[ 干扰排除] 选项 [A] (a) lot (of) 意为“大量的；许多的”，选项

[B](a) number (of)意为“许多的；大量的”，这两项代入空格都表示来自各个国家的运动员在奥运会上参加大量的

比赛，此处文章并不需要强调比赛项目多，突出比赛的种类多似乎更重要，故选项 [C] 更符合原

文，选项 [A] 和 [B] 均可排除。选项 [D] (a) series (of) 意为“一系列”，指两个或两个以上彼此

有联系的事物或活动，奥运会上各个体育项目并不是彼此相互联系的，故可排除。

3.[ 试题考点 ] 语意关系 +动词辨析。

[ 解题思路 ] 本题空格位于第二段句①的目的状语中，该句意为“为了奥运会，某个城市必须向国际奥委会提交申请”。根据本句后半句以及后文中提到的国际奥委会选

拔城市的投票程序及考虑因素可推知向奥委会提交申请是为了主办奥运会。选项 [A] host 意为“主办；主持（某活动）” ，符合句意，故为答案。此外，第三段首句继续提到“国

际奥委会还会世界上哪个地区还没有国家主办过比赛”，由此处的hosted the Games 也可推知，上文表示的应是“主办奥运会”（host the Olympics ）。

[ 干扰排除 ] 选项 [B]take 表示“主持（某事）；领导，指导”，“主办”和“主持”的意

思不同，同时，任何城市都没有“领导/指导”奥运会的权力，故排除选项[B] 。选项 [C]有“经营；管理”之意，同样选出一个城市来经营奥运会也不符合常识，此外，run 和选项 [D] organize 均有“组织”之意，组织奥运会只是主办奥运会的主要职责，因此主办奥运会更符合文意，故选项[D] 也可排除。

[ 解题思路 ] 本题空格位于第二段句②，该句意为“所有的申请都_______后，国际奥委会将进行投票” 。该句前一句提到了想主办奥运会的城市需要提交申请（ submit a proposal ），故本题空格所在句应该意在表达“所有的申请都提交后”，上文的submit a proposal

变为下文的被动语态all proposals have been_______ ，故选项 [B] submitted （提交，呈送）为答案。

[ 干扰排除 ] 选项 [A] supported 意为“支持；资助”，选项 [C] substituted 意为“代替；替

换”，选项 [D] subordinated 意为“使处于次要地位”，这三个选项代入空格，都与主语

all proposals 无法构成符合文意的搭配，故均可排除。 5.[试题考点 ] 语意关系 +形容词辨析。

[ 解题思路 ] 本题空格位于第二段句③，且空格所在的部分作方式状语，修饰其前的

voting continues，整句意为“如果在第一轮投票中没有哪个城市赢得多数票，则得票最

少的城市被淘汰，然后继续投票，几轮，直到确定票数占多数的城市”。可见这

里要表达的是经过连续的几轮投票，直到确定结果。选项[C]successive 意为“连续的；

相继的”，符合句意，故为答案。

[ 干扰排除 ] 选项 [A] suggestive 意为“提示的；暗示的”，选项[B] successful 意为“成功的”，代入空格都不能构成符合文意的搭配，故可排除。选项[D] succeeding 意为“以后的；随后的”，它只表示时间上或次序上接在后面，并不表示一轮投票与一轮投票的连

续性，但很明显文中意在说明如果一轮没有选出主办城市，就以相同的投票方接

着一轮投下去，直到最后确定结果，故选项[D] 也可排除。 6. [试题考点 ] 语意关系 +动词辨析。

[解题思路 ]语意关系 +动词辨析。本题空格位于第二段句④ ，根据选项可知，空格处需填入一个动词的现在分词形式，作整个句子状语，该句意为“通常提前几年就会确定某

届奥运会的主办城市，赢得主办权的城市时间进行准备”。根据句意可推断此处是要表达，提前几年确定主办城市，好让主办城市有

准备的时间。空格处的动词需构成

the winning city time的搭配，选项[D] allowing意为“（出于某种目）留出，给出（足够

的时间、金钱、食物等）”，可以构成 allow sb sth 的搭配，因此选项 [D] 代入空格中符合句意，而且符合语法习惯，故为答案。

[ 干扰排除 ] 选项 [A] letting 意为“允许；让 ,, ”，表示一种许可，且其常用结构为 let sb do sth.。选项 [B]setting 意为“放置；使处于 ,, ”，代入空格也不不符合句意，故排除。选项

[C]permitting 意为“允许；许可”，也表示许可，且常用的形式为 permit sb to do sth ，

故 permit 在语意和结构上都不符合文意，故可排除。 7.[ 试题考点 ] 语意关系 +名词辨析。

[ 解题思路] 本题空格位于第二段句⑤，空格所在的前半部分指出，“在选择奥运会的时，国际奥委会会考虑很多因素，”根据前文中提到的国际奥委会选择奥运会举办城市

的过程以及本句后半句所提到的国际奥委在选择时所考虑的因素（如which city ，which organizing committee ）可推知，此处国际奥委会选择的还是主办城市，即奥运会举办的

地点。选项 [A] site 意为“（事情发生的或活动的）场地；场所” ，符合句意，故为答案。

此外首段首句也提到奥运会每四年在不同的地方举办一次（at a different site ），由此处也可知，表示奥运会举办的地点应用“site”一词。

[ 干扰排除 ] 选项 [B]spot 意为“地点；场所”，指较小的特定地点或场所，奥运会举办的

地方应该是一个较大的区域，包含许多场地，故选项[B] 不符合文意，可排除。选项

[C]location意为“位置；地方”，与spot 一样专门指某特定的地点，强调方位，不符合

句意，可排除。选项 [D] place 意为“地方；地区”， place 为普

通用语，使用较广，既可指

较笼统的范围，又可指明确、具体的某一地点、位置及空间或身体的某一部位。而

site 多指建筑的场所 ,也指较大的事件发生的场地，因此用 site 来指奥运会的场地更合适，故选项 [D] 也可排除。

8.[ 试题考点 ] 语意关系 +动词辨析。

[ 解题思路 ] 语意关系 +动词辨析。本题空格位于第二段句⑤的后半部分。该部分紧承前半句，说明了奥委会选择奥运会举办场所时考虑的主要因素，包括“哪个城市拥有或承诺

修建最好的设施，哪个组委会看起来最有可能高效地奥运会”。将四个选项代入文中，分别意为“陈述/举办 /启动 /赞助奥运会”，根据常识可知，国际奥委会选择奥运

会主办城市时必定会考虑该国的奥组委组织、举办赛事的能力。选项[B] stage 用作动词

时意为“实行（某事）；举行”，代入空格符合文意，故为答案。 [ 干扰排除 ] 选项 [A] state 意为“陈述；声称”，选项[C] start 意为“启动；开始”，选项

[D]sponsor 意为“赞助”，根据常识可知，奥委会的主要职责在于筹办奥运会，这三个

选项均不符合文意，故可排除。 9.[试题考点 ] 语意关系 +动词辨析。

[解题思路 ]本题空格位于第三段句①，空格处需填入一个动词作谓语，该句意为“国际

奥委会同样会世界范围内尚未主办过奥运会的地方”。由句中的 also 可知，此处紧承上段最后一句，继续说明奥委会选址时会考虑的其他因素，选项[C] consider 意为“考虑”，代入文中，符合句意，也与第二段最后一句中的 consider 相呼应，故为答案。

[ 干扰排除 ] 选项 [A] think 意为“思考；想（以形成某个观点）”，选项 [B] reckon 意为“估计；认为”，强调主观看法，选项 [D] calculate 意为“预测；推测”，代入空格都不符合文意，故可排

[解题思路 ] 逻辑关系 +习语辨析。本题空格位于第三段句② ，其前一句首先指出，奥委

会同样会考虑世界上哪个地区还从未举办过奥运会。而空格后的句子则意为“日本东京

—— 19 年夏季奥运会的举办城市，墨西哥的墨西哥城—— 1968 年夏季奥运会的举办城市，选择这两个城市是为了在亚洲和拉丁美洲推广奥林匹克运动”。从空格前后两句的句意来看，之所以会考虑那个地方还未举办奥运会是因为想在那里推广奥林匹

克运动，空格后的内容是具体说明前一句的例证。选项[A]For instance 意为“例如”，符合句意，故为正确答案。

[干扰排除 ]选项 [B] As a result 意为“结果是 ,, ”，表示因果关系，选项[C] In brief 意为“简而言之”，表示概括，选项[D] On the whole意为“大体上；总体上”，说明一

般性的情况。空格前后的内容之间并不存在因果、分述—总结的关系，空格后的内容

也不是对一般性现象的总结陈述，故这三个选项均可排除。 11.[试题考点 ] 语意关系 +习语辨析。

[解题思路 ] 此空位于第三段句②，根据句①可知，国际奥委会在决定奥运举办城市的

时候，还会考虑世界上有哪些地方尚未举办过奥运会这一因素，接着句②以日本东京和墨西

哥的墨西哥城为例加以说明，即选择这两个城市是为了在亚洲和拉丁美洲推广奥运

会。空格处所填词或者修饰chosen，或者修饰其后的动词不定式to popilarize ? ,选项 [A] in time可以构成in time to do sth ，表示“及时（做某事）”，in time还可以作副词，表示“（经过很多问题或者很长的拖延等）最终”，这两个城市并非“及时选出来”或者

经过很多事情“最终选出来”的，故排除。选项[B] in part意为

“部分地，在某种程度

上”，放入文中意为“选择这两个城市有一部分原因是为了在那里推广奥林匹克运动” ，语意通顺，故为答案。

[干扰排除 ] 由上文分析可排除选项[A]。选项[C] in case意为“以防万一；假使”，为

从属连词，后面常接句子，故排除。选项 [D] in common 意为“共同（的）；共有（的）”，说这两个城市被共同选出来也不符合常识，故排除。

[解题思路 ] 此空位于第四段句①，该句指出，世界范围内电视转播变得越来越

重要，近些年国际奥委会把主办城市所在时区这个因素也。经分析可知，前半句是后半句的原因，又因为前半句不是完整的句子而是名词性词组，所以此处需要填入一

个表示原因的、后面可以直接接名词性词组的表达，选项[D] Because of 符合要求，故为答案。

[干扰排除 ]选项 [A]Since 和选项 [B]Because 都可表示原因，但用作连词时连接句子，不与

名词词组连用，故排除。选项 [C] As for 意为“至于；就 ,, 方面来说”，不符合句意，故排除。

13.[ 试题考点 ] 语意关系 +固定搭配。

[解题思路 ] 此空位于第四段句①的后半句中，经上述分析可知，该句意为“由于电视

合句意，故为答案。

[干扰排除 ]选项 [A] amount （数量）、选项 [C] accord （条件；一致）和选项 [D] acclaim

（赞誉）均不能和 take into 构成搭配，故排除。 14.[试题考点 ] 逻辑关系 +连词辨析。

[解题思路 ] 此空位于第四段句②，前文句①指出，近些年国际奥委会把主办城市所在

的时区也考虑在内。由句②中 For example 可知，该句是对句①的举例说明：奥运会在美国或是加拿大举办，美国电视广播公司愿意花高价钱购买电视转播权，因为这样他们可以抢在最佳时间转播最受欢迎的赛事。观察各选项，四个选项分别相当于“ no matter

how/what/when/where ”，however 引导让步状语从句； whatever 引导名词性从句，且在名词性从句担任某个成分，空格后 the Games take place in the United

States or Canada 与下文语意没有让步关系，同时该句语意完整，没有出现whatever 需要指代的内容。 whenever 和 wherever 可分别引导时间状语从句和地点状语从句，句中

已出现地点状语 in the United States or Canada，因此与 wherever 相互冲突， whenever 表示“无论什么时候”放在文中表示每当奥运会在美国或是加拿大举办/ ，都会有后面的情况发生，语意通顺，故正确。

15. [ 试题考点 ] 语意关系 +副词辨析。

[解题思路 ] 此空位于第四段句② ，该句意为“例如，每当奥运会在美国或是加拿大举

办时，美国电视广播公司都愿意花高价购买电视转播权，因为这样他们可以抢在

最佳时间转播最受欢迎的赛事”。根据上下文可推知，如果奥运会在美国或加拿

大举办，位于同一时区的美国电视广播公司在时间上拥有转播优势，因此广播公司肯定愿意花非常高的价钱购买转播权，因此此处需要一个表示程度的副词修饰后面的higher，

意为“相当大的；显著的” ，代入句中与文意相符，强调价钱之高，选项 [D]significantly

故正确。

[干扰排除 ]选项 [A] greatly 也为表程度的副词，意为“非常地”，常用在动词和分词之

前，用在此处不恰当，故排除。选项[B] handsomely 本意就指“（金额）可观地”，不

能作程度副词修饰资金高额的程度，故排除。选项[C] meaningfully意为“有用意地，意味深长地”，不符合句意，故排除。

[解题思路 ] 此空位于第四段句②，根据上述分析可知，每当奥运会在美国或是加拿大

举办，美国电视广播公司都会愿意花极高的价钱购买电视转播权，因为这样他们就可以抢在最佳时间播出最受欢迎的赛事。根据上文可知，由于时区相同，美国电视公司买电视转播权应是为了直播赛事，选项 [A] live 意为“从现场，以直播方式”，符合句意，故为答案。

[干扰排除]选项 [B]living意为“活着的；现存的”，选项[C] alive意为“活着的；活泼的”，选项[D]lively意为“充满活力的，活泼的”，代入句中均不符合句意，故排除。

[ 解题思路 ] 此空位于第五段句① ，该句指出，奥运会的主办城市被确定下来，为赛事提供资金就是地方组委会的责任了。根据句意可判断该句的前半句是时间状语

从句，表示“赛事的主办城市被确定下来以后，地方组委会就要 ,, ”。选项 [D] Once 意为“ as soon as; when”（一旦），用作连词引导时间状语从句，可以正确地表示主办城市被确定下来和组委会提供资金之间的时间关系，故为答案。

[干扰排除 ]选项 [A] Until表示“直到,, 止；在 ,, 之前”，放入文中，将提供资金的

事发生在主办城市被确定下来之前，不符合逻辑，故排除。选项

[B] Unless 可用作连词引导条件状语从句，意为“除非”，不符合句意，故排除。选项[C] Whether 用作连词引导名词性从句，意为“是否”，代入句中也与文意不符，故排除。

18.[试题考点 ] 语意关系 +名词辨析。

[解题思路 ] 此空位于第五段句②，句中 this 指代上句中的financing the Games ，本句阐述了举办奥运会的资金来源，有一些奥运会电视转播，还有一些公司赞助、票务收入，以及其他一些小的收入来源。上文提到美国为了转播赛事需要付费，所以the Olympic television指代的应该是电视转播的收入。选项 [C] revenues 意为“收入，收益”，符合句意，故为答案。

[干扰排除 ]选项 [A] incomes 和选项 [C] revenues 均可以指代“收入”，revenue 比较正式，

尤指公司或组织数额庞大的收入，income 用于指从工作、投资等所得的钱，电视转播

的收入为大额收入，用revenues 更加恰当，故排除。选项[B] interests 意为“利益；利息”，选项 [D] returns 意为“利润；回报”，代入文中均不符合文意，故排除。

19.[ 试题考点 ] 语意关系 +名词辨析。

[解题思路 ] 此空位于第五段句③ ，该句意为“在很多，也有的直接支持” 。

联系上一句内容可知，此句还是在谈论筹办奥运会的资金来源，除了前面提到的那些来源，还有直接出资。句中in many作状语，选项 [A]case 意为“ an instance of

a particular situation ”（情形；事例），可以和in 连用构成很多搭配，如in that case，in

any case，此处是 in many cases，意为“在很多情况下”，符合文中句意，故为答案。

接着句② 指出，如果赛事的收入少于预期，那么主办城市会背上沉重的债务。四个选项

中，选项 [B] risky 意为“有风险的”， financially riskey 和 financial profit 语意对立，同时又说明了下文的状况，故为答案。

待了背景：在一年的时间里，麦克唐纳通过物物交换，用一个曲别针最终换取了一套

房子。紧接着techies 所在的句③指出，在公布了他以物易物的目

标（房子）之后，他很

可能从一些人（ techies ）那里得到了帮助，这些人渴望看到互联网通过这次对其网络

力量的考验。由此句可推测，这些人希望看到互联网的传播力量，所以他们对于科技的

看法不应该是负面的，同时他们能够在科技方面提供帮助（got a boost ），也说明他们应该是熟悉科技的人。四个选项中，只有选项[B] 与此相符。

[ 干扰排除 ] 由解题思路中的分析可知，文中的techies希望互联网能够通过对其网络力量的考验，同时也能在技术上为麦克唐纳提供帮助，故他们不应该是“恐惧科技” 的人，

[A] 、[C] 、[D]

也不是“对科技一无所知”的人，或“在科技方面力”的人，故选项均可

排除。

22.[ 解题思路 ] 具体信息题。根据题干关键词Many people ?helped Kyle 可定位至文章第一

段。该段句③中的got a boost意为“得到帮助”，与题干中的helped 相对应。该句意为“麦克唐纳很可能从techies 那里得到了帮助，因为techies想看到互联网通过这次对其网络力量的考验”，即他们想要证明互联网有着强大的网络力量。选项[D]与此相符，故为答案。

[ 干扰排除 ] 文章没有提到人们钦佩Kyle 的创作力，故可排除选项[A] 。第一段句④提到了麦克唐纳的座右铭（ motto ），也提到了他表示自己将精力都放在了如何创新上面，但

文中并没有信息表明帮助这些人渴望与他的座右铭产生共鸣或喜欢他提前表明自己的目标，故选项 [B] 和 [C] 均可排除。

因素，故均可排除。

24. [ 解题思路 ] 推理引申题。根据题干关键词Internet advertisements可定位至文章第四段。

该段句①首先指出物物交换能帮助公司利用闲置的资源（idle capacity ），接着句②举例指出，广告（ advertising）被大规模地交换，因为很多媒体，尤其是互联网媒体，能

够以低廉的价格提供新的广告位置（can supply new ad space at little cost ）。由此可知，网络广告可以帮公司节省开支，获得更多好处，选项[A] 的含义与此相符，故为正确答案。

[ 干扰排除 ] 第四段最后一句指出，互联网广告并没有在工业增长数据中登记，因为很多

的交易都是非正式交易，所以选项[B] 与文意相反，故排除。同样，选项[C] 是根据该句设置的干扰，也可排除。文中也没有信息表明“媒体是否能够为物物交换网站评级”，
