（分?jǐn)?shù)：0.50）

B.V

C.

D.

解析：inaminority為固定習(xí)語(yǔ)，意為“占少數(shù)"。scarcity缺乏，不足，與shortage同義。minimum

解析：[解析]C項(xiàng)“collided車、船相撞”符合題意，如Inrunningroundthecorner,hecollided

crashed（飛機(jī)）墜毀，撞壞；D項(xiàng)struck撞，后接against”都不正確。本題意為“據(jù)報(bào)道，昨天兩輛卡

A.V

B.

C.

D.

解析：gooff爆炸；getoff動(dòng)身，飛行；comeoff脫離，分離；carryoff帶去，搶去。從句意看顯然

A.

C.

D.V

解析：拍賣時(shí)點(diǎn)蠟燭，以限制報(bào)價(jià)的時(shí)間。第二段最后一句指出：英國(guó)在18、19世紀(jì)往往通過(guò)點(diǎn)燃蠟燭

的方式拍賣貨物，拍賣師點(diǎn)燃一支很短的蠟燭，蠟燭熄滅了報(bào)價(jià)就停止了。

A.

C.V

D.

解析：拍賣目錄為未來(lái)的買主列出必須賣出的貨物的順序。第四段指出：拍賣的廣告事先做好，講明待售

物品的詳細(xì)情況以及未來(lái)的買主在何時(shí)、何地看這些物品。如果廣告不能提供詳細(xì)情況，就打印一些目

錄，每組一起出售的物品被稱為“一批”，通常貼上數(shù)碼。拍賣師不必從第一批開始拍賣，也沒(méi)有必要按

數(shù)字順序拍賣。由此可以推斷，必須賣出的貨物在拍賣目錄中是有數(shù)字順序的；拍賣師不按數(shù)字順序拍賣

并不意味著目錄沒(méi)有對(duì)待售物品進(jìn)行排序。

(3).Theauctioneermaydecidetosellthe〃lots〃outoforderbecause.

A.

B.V

C.

D.

解析：拍賣師可能不按順序拍賣每一批物品，因?yàn)楦鶕?jù)他的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，他知道某些人想買某些商品。選B是依

據(jù)第四段中的句子“hemaywaituntilheregistersthefactthatcertaindealersareinthe

roomandthenproducethelotstheyarelikelytobeinterestedin”。這句話的意思是：拍賣師

可能等到他登記某些商人在拍賣間這一實(shí)際情況以后，才出示他們很可能感興趣的若干批物品。

(4).Anauctioneerlikestogethighpricesforthegoodshesellsbecause.

D.itkeepsthecustomersinterested(分?jǐn)?shù)：1.50)

A.V

B.

C.

D.

解析：拍賣師喜歡獲得他所拍賣商品的高價(jià)，因?yàn)樗约嚎梢話甑酶嗟腻X。第四段最后的兩句指出：按

售出商品價(jià)格的百分比給拍賣師付酬。因此，拍賣師對(duì)盡可能高的報(bào)價(jià)有直接的興趣。

(5).A"knockout〃isarranged.

A.tokeepthepriceintheauctionroomlow

B.toallowonedealeronlytomakeaprofit

C.toincreasetheauctioneer'sprofit

D.tohelptheauctioneer(分?jǐn)?shù)：1.50)

A.V

B.

C.

D.

解析：聯(lián)合拍貨的目的是壓低拍賣間的價(jià)格。最后一段指出：即便是最善于拍賣的拍賣師也覺(jué)得很難防止

“聯(lián)合拍貨”。用此手段商人們事先非法地進(jìn)行預(yù)謀，不相互競(jìng)價(jià)，但是指定其中的一個(gè)人為惟一的出價(jià)

人，希望以極低的價(jià)格買到商品。如果出現(xiàn)聯(lián)合拍貨的情況，這些商人日后還會(huì)私下進(jìn)行實(shí)際的拍賣活

動(dòng)。

解析：作者在第一段提到分期償付的債務(wù)增加了，以表明消費(fèi)者對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)的信心。根據(jù)第一段第二句，消費(fèi)

者信心恢復(fù)的表現(xiàn)是很高的收入用于購(gòu)買商品和服務(wù)而且消費(fèi)者顯然更愿意分期付款。

解析：根據(jù)第三段可以推斷，作者對(duì)減少國(guó)際結(jié)算的虧損的態(tài)度似乎是喜憂參半。根據(jù)本段第三句，盡管

總體上的貿(mào)易業(yè)績(jī)令人失望，但依然有理由希望貶值滯后的影響能夠及時(shí)給我們的貿(mào)易藍(lán)圖帶來(lái)十分堅(jiān)挺

解析：可以根據(jù)最后一段推斷，第三階段計(jì)劃包括對(duì)工資和價(jià)格的調(diào)控。本段倒數(shù)第二句說(shuō)，對(duì)工資和價(jià)

格進(jìn)行限制的第三階段計(jì)劃能夠減輕通貨膨脹的壓力。

表達(dá)，便說(shuō)那一定是通向太陽(yáng)后面的那個(gè)世界的人口”。rouse的意思為tomakesomeonemore

active,interestedorexcited,即"引起,喚起"，恰好符合題意。再例如：Wedon'twantto

rouseanysusoiclons.（我們并不想引起任何疑慮。）reflect意為"反射,考慮”；retain意為“保

留，維持"；radiate意為“發(fā)光，射出“。
