)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：副詞辨析。根據(jù)位于句首用來承上啟下的連詞and和空格后的副詞duly可以推斷，所填詞應(yīng)表示順承關(guān)系的副詞，故正確答案為A項(xiàng)then“然后，于是”。17、【C17】A、claimB、conclusionC、conceptD、explanation標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：名詞辨析。所填詞作invented的賓語，是對(duì)前面內(nèi)容的概括，前面說明了SleepSmart的設(shè)計(jì)原理和作用，C項(xiàng)concept“概念”最符合語境，故為正確答案。claim意為“要求；聲稱”，conclusion意為“結(jié)論”，explanation意為“解釋”，均不能作invented的賓語。18、【C18】A、onceB、afterC、sinceD、while標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：上下文邏輯。空格前講一群學(xué)生首創(chuàng)了這一概念，空格后講一個(gè)朋友抱怨醒來時(shí)感到疲憊，并且考試的表現(xiàn)很差，因此所填詞應(yīng)為表示時(shí)間先后的連詞，故B項(xiàng)正確。since表示“自從……以來”，引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語時(shí)主句要用完成時(shí)。19、【C19】A、BesidesB、DespiteC、ToD、As標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：介詞辨析。根據(jù)句中的ourselves和下句中的we可以推斷選as，as作介詞時(shí)意為“作為”。本句的意思是“我們這些睡眠不足的人，開始考慮對(duì)它該做點(diǎn)什么了?！?0、【C20】A、whatB、howC、whetherD、when標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：語法結(jié)構(gòu)。todoaboutit作thinkingof的賓語，并且所填詞作do的賓語，只有what符合要求，故A項(xiàng)為正確答案。二、閱讀（常規(guī)閱讀理解）(本題共20題，每題1.0分，共20分。)OfallthechangesthathavetakenplaceinEnglish-languagenewspapersduringthepastquarter-century,perhapsthemostfar-reachinghasbeentheinexorabledeclineinthescopeandseriousnessoftheirartscoverage.Itisdifficulttothepointofimpossibilityfortheaveragereaderundertheageoffortytoimagineatimewhenhigh-qualityartscriticismcouldbefoundinmostbig-citynewspapers.Yetaconsiderablenumberofthemostsignificantcollectionsofcriticismpublishedinthe20thcenturyconsistedinlargepartofnewspaperreviews.Toreadsuchbookstodayistomarvelatthefactthattheirlearnedcontentswereoncedeemedsuitableforpublicationingeneral-circulationdailies.WeareevenfartherremovedfromtheunfocusednewspaperreviewspublishedinEnglandbetweentheturnofthe20thcenturyandtheeveofWorldWarII,atatimewhennewsprintwasdirt-cheapandstylishartscriticismwasconsideredanornamenttothepublicationsinwhichitappeared.Inthosefar-offdays,itwastakenforgrantedthatthecriticsofmajorpaperswouldwriteindetailandatlengthabouttheeventstheycovered.Theirswasaseriousbusiness,andeventhosereviewerswhoworetheirlearninglightly,likeGeorgeBernardShawandErnestNewman,couldbetrustedtoknowwhattheywereabout.Thesemenbelievedinjournalismasacalling,andwereproudtobepublishedinthedailypress."Sofewauthorshavebrainsenoughorliterarygiftenoughtokeeptheirownendupinjournalism,"Newmanwrote,"thatIamtemptedtodefine'journalismas'atermofcontemptappliedbywriterswhoarenotreadtowriterswhoare.Unfortunately,thesecriticsarevirtuallyforgotten.NevilleCardus,whowrotefortheManchesterGuardianfrom1917untilshortlybeforehisdeathin1975,isnowknownsolelyasawriterofessaysonthegameofcricket.Duringhislifetime,though,hewasalsooneofEngland'sforemostclassical-musiccritics,astylistsowidelyadmiredthathisAutobiography(1947)becameabest-seller.Hewasknightedin1967,thefirstmusiccritictobesohonored.Yetonlyoneofhisbooksisnowinprint,andhisvastbodyofwritingsonmusicisunknownsavetospecialists.IsthereanychancethatCardus'scriticismwillenjoyarevival?Theprospectseemsremote.Journalistictasteshadchangedlongbeforehisdeath,andpostmodernreadershavelittleusefortherichlyupholsteredVicwardianproseinwhichhespecialized.Moreover,theamateurtraditioninmusiccriticismhasbeeninheadlongretreat.21、ItisindicatedinParagraphs1and2thatA、artscriticismhasdisappearedfrombig-citynewspapersB、English-languagenewspapersusedtocarrymoreartsreviewsC、high-qualitynewspapersretainalargebodyofreadersD、youngreadersdoubtthesuitabilityofcriticismondailies標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：段落大意題。選項(xiàng)A比較容易排除，其與第一段矛盾，原文只是說decline，即下降，沒有說消失(disappear)。選項(xiàng)C也可以排除，“高質(zhì)量的報(bào)紙未喪失大量的讀者”，此句為無中生有。選項(xiàng)D為干擾項(xiàng)，“年輕的讀者懷疑報(bào)紙上的評(píng)論不合適”。原文表明其實(shí)讀者是持贊同態(tài)度的：這些評(píng)論可以在報(bào)紙上刊登。這里的doubt表示懷疑，意思相反。第一段的declineinscope和第二段的aconsiderablenumber都在強(qiáng)調(diào)以前的報(bào)紙關(guān)于藝術(shù)評(píng)論數(shù)量很多，因此，正確答案為B項(xiàng)。22、NewspaperreviewsinEnglandbeforeWorldWarIIwerecharacterizedby_____.A、freethemesB、casualstyleC、elaboratelayoutD、radicalviewpoints標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)B“不經(jīng)意的、隨便的”和文章中indetailandatlength“詳細(xì)的”、serious“嚴(yán)肅的”、calling“對(duì)做某項(xiàng)工作的強(qiáng)烈欲望或責(zé)任感”、proud“驕傲”是相矛盾的，所以是錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)C為干擾項(xiàng)。elaborate可以替換原文中的indetail，但是layout(布局)為無中生有，所以本項(xiàng)與原文不相符合。選項(xiàng)radical“激進(jìn)的”為無中生有。而選項(xiàng)unfocused的英文解釋和free的英文解釋是相同的，屬于同義替換。因此，正確選項(xiàng)為A。23、WhichofthefollowingwouldShawandNewmanmostprobablyagreeon?A、Itiswriters’dutytofulfilljournalisticgoals.B、Itiscontemptibleforwriterstobejournalists.C、Writersarelikelytobetemptedintojournalism.D、Notallwritersarecapableofjournalisticwriting.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)A中的journalisticgoals“新聞業(yè)的目標(biāo)”為無中生有。選項(xiàng)B“作家成為記者是值得鄙視的”與文章中的proud“自豪的”語義相反。選項(xiàng)C“作者容易被新聞業(yè)吸引”，原文說的是被define“journalism”as…所吸引，而不是被journalism所吸引。選項(xiàng)D是同義替換，few相當(dāng)于notall，havebrainsenoughorliterarygiftenough相當(dāng)于capableof。D選項(xiàng)中notall屬于部分否定，語氣委婉，在選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)往往正確。因此，正確選項(xiàng)為D。24、WhatcanbelearnedaboutCardusaccordingtothelasttwoparagraphs?A、Hismusiccriticismmaynotappealtoreaderstoday.B、Hisreputationasamusiccritichaslongbeenindispute.C、Hisstylecaterslargelytomodernspecialists.D、Hiswritingsfailtofollowtheamateurtradition.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。原文沒有提到他的名聲有爭議，所以選項(xiàng)B為無中生有。選項(xiàng)C“他的風(fēng)格符合現(xiàn)在的專家”與本段最后一句相矛盾。選項(xiàng)D移花接木，是利用最后一句話編造的選項(xiàng)。文章中說新聞業(yè)的品位已經(jīng)改變，讀者不需要他所擅長的風(fēng)格，所以Cardus’scriticism不可能重新流行；而A項(xiàng)中havelittleusefor相當(dāng)于notappealto。同時(shí)本選項(xiàng)還有may這個(gè)語氣委婉的詞，符合正確答案語氣委婉的規(guī)律。因此，正確選項(xiàng)為A。25、Whatwouldbethebesttitleforthetext?A、NewspapersoftheGoodOldDays.B、TheLostHorizoninNewspapers.C、MournfulDeclineofJournalism.D、ProminentCriticsinMemory.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨大意題。選項(xiàng)A“報(bào)紙行業(yè)過去的黃金歲月”，沒有點(diǎn)出作者對(duì)現(xiàn)在的報(bào)紙的惋惜之情；選項(xiàng)B“報(bào)紙行業(yè)的消失的視野”，本選項(xiàng)的錯(cuò)誤類型和A一樣；選項(xiàng)D“記憶中杰出的評(píng)論家”，本文的中心不是懷念過去，而是批判現(xiàn)在的墮落。對(duì)主旨題，可以利用串線法解出本題。第一段開宗明義：過去這些年英語報(bào)紙上所發(fā)生的最有影響力的變化的可能是藝術(shù)評(píng)論在報(bào)道范圍和嚴(yán)肅性上的墮落(decline)。第二段承接第一段的意思。第四段首句：“不幸的是，這些批評(píng)家?guī)缀醣煌浟??！毖哉Z之間是作者對(duì)報(bào)紙?jiān)u論墮落的惋惜之情。第五段：“Cardus那樣的評(píng)論會(huì)重現(xiàn)嗎?不太可能!”再一次點(diǎn)明了作者所討論的中心：報(bào)紙行業(yè)的墮落(decline)，所以正確選項(xiàng)為C“令人惋惜的新聞業(yè)的墮落”。Overthepastdecade,thousandsofpatentshavebeengrantedforwhatarecalledbusinessmethods.Amazon,comreceivedoneforits"one-click"onlinepaymentsystem.MerrillLynchgotlegalprotectionforanassetallocationstrategy.Oneinventorpatentedatechniqueforliftingabox.Nowthenation'stoppatentcourtappearscompletelyreadytoscalebackonbusiness-methodpatents,whichhavebeencontroversialeversincetheywerefirstauthorized10yearsago.Inamovethathasintellectual-propertylawyersabuzztheU.S.courtofAppealsforthefederalcircuitsaiditwoulduseaparticularcasetoconductabroadreviewofbusiness-methodpatents.InreBilski,asthecaseisknown,is"averybigdeal",saysDennisD.CrouchoftheUniversityofMissouriSchooloflaw.It"hasthepotentialtoeliminateanentireclassofpatents."Curbsonbusiness-methodclaimswouldbeadramaticabout-face,becauseitwasthefederalcircuititselfthatintroducedsuchpatentswithis1998decisionintheso-calledstateStreetBankcase,approvingapatentonawayofpoolingmutual-fundassets.Thatrulingproducedanexplosioninbusiness-methodpatentfilings,initiallybyemerginginternetcompaniestryingtostakeoutexclusiverightstospecifictypesofonlinetransactions.Later,moveestablishedcompaniesracedtoaddsuchpatentstotheirfiles,ifonlyasadefensivemoveagainstrivalsthatmightbeatthemtothepunch.In2005,IBMnotedinacourtfilingthatithadbeenissuedmorethan300business-methodpatentsdespitethefactthatitquestionedthelegalbasisforgrantingthem.Similarly,someWallStreetinvestmentfilmsarmedthemselveswithpatentsforfinancialproducts,evenastheytookpositionsincourtcasesopposingthepractice.TheBilskicaseinvolvesaclaimedpatentonamethodforhedgingriskintheenergymarket.TheFederalcircuitissuedanunusualorderstatingthatthecasewouldbeheardbyall12ofthecourt'sjudges,ratherthanatypicalpanelofthree,andthatoneissueitwantstoevaluateiswhetheritshould"reconsider"itsstatestreetBankruling.TheFederalCircuit'sactioncomesinthewakeofaseriesofrecentdecisionsbythesupremeCourtthathasnarrowedthescopeofprotectionsforpatentholders.LastApril,forexamplethejusticessignaledthattoomanypatentswerebeingupheldfor"inventions"thatareobvious.ThejudgesontheFederalcircuitare"reactingtotheanti-patenttrendattheSupremeCourt",saysHaroldC.Wegner,apatentattorneyandprofessoratGeorgeWashingtonUniversityLawSchool.26、Business-methodpatentshaverecentlyarousedconcernbecauseof______.A、theirlimitedvaluetobusinessB、theirconnectionwithassetallocationC、thepossiblerestrictionontheirgrantingD、thecontroversyoverauthorization標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)A為無中生有；選項(xiàng)B是用第一段的一個(gè)小例子中的細(xì)節(jié)捏造選項(xiàng)；選項(xiàng)D與題目沒有關(guān)系；選項(xiàng)C為同義替換，possible相當(dāng)于potential、restriction相當(dāng)于eliminate，因此C為正確答案。27、WhichofthefollowingistrueoftheBilskicase?A、Itsrulingcomplieswiththecourtdecisions.B、Itinvolvesaverybigbusinesstransaction.C、IthasbeendismissedbytheFederalCircuit.D、ItmaychangethelegalpracticesintheU.S..標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。全文一直沒有講Bilski案件的判決結(jié)果，而選項(xiàng)A、C都是在講其判決結(jié)果，所以與原文文意相反。選項(xiàng)B是從原文“averybigdeal”字面意思出發(fā)設(shè)置的干擾選項(xiàng)。abigdeal在英文中的意思是“重要”，而不是“生意(transaction)”。選項(xiàng)D中potential相當(dāng)于may，change對(duì)應(yīng)第一段和第二段之間的轉(zhuǎn)折。從第二段的review，eliminate也可以看出這是一種轉(zhuǎn)折。本題選項(xiàng)D中還有may一詞，正確答案往往語氣委婉，因此D為正確答案。28、Theword"about-face"(Para3)mostprobablymeans______.A、lossofgoodwillB、increaseofhostilityC、changeofattitudeD、enhancementofdignity標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞匯推斷題。本題一定要返回原文通過上下文解題。Because之前是說對(duì)business-method的約束(curbs)，而because之后說的是“正是聯(lián)邦審判引入了business-method”，所以兩者之間自然是“態(tài)度的轉(zhuǎn)變”。所以C為正確答案。29、Welearnfromthelasttwoparagraphsthatbusiness-methodpatents______.A、areimmunetolegalchallengesB、areoftenunnecessarilyissuedC、lowertheesteemforpatentholdersD、increasetheincidenceofrisks標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章中“聯(lián)邦審判要求這個(gè)案子由12名法官審，而不是普通的3人小組，并且要求判斷是否要重新考慮之前的Bankruling”，可以排除A；inthewakeof相當(dāng)于after，作者意思為：最高法院已經(jīng)減少了對(duì)專利持有者的保護(hù)(protection)，而選項(xiàng)C的意思是減少了對(duì)專利持有者的尊重(esteem)，其中esteem是對(duì)protection的偷梁換柱；選項(xiàng)D在文中沒有提及；最后一段中toomany(被授予過多的專利)，表明法院認(rèn)為很多business—method不應(yīng)該被授予，選項(xiàng)B中oftenunnecessarily相當(dāng)于toomany，因此B為正確選項(xiàng)。30、Whichofthefollowingwouldbethesubjectofthetext?A、Aloomingthreattobusiness-methodpatents.B、Protectionforbusiness-methodpatentholders.C、Alegalcaseregardingbusiness-methodpatents.D、Aprevailingtrendagainstbusiness-methodpatents.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨大意題。首先排除選項(xiàng)B和選項(xiàng)C，與文章主題不符。判斷選項(xiàng)A和選項(xiàng)D有一定難度。第一段講過去businessmethod很容易被授予專利。其中第一段的最后一句話已經(jīng)暗含著對(duì)這種做法的反對(duì)。第二段轉(zhuǎn)折：將會(huì)用一個(gè)案例來全面審查商業(yè)方法專利。第三段：對(duì)businessmethod的約束(curbs)是法院態(tài)度的巨大轉(zhuǎn)變。最后一段明確提出reactingtotheanti—patenttrendatthesupremecourt。要注意的是原文始終沒有說Bilskicase的判決，因此只是一個(gè)looming(隱約地出現(xiàn))的danger，而不是已經(jīng)盛行的趨勢(shì)。因此，正確選項(xiàng)為A“商業(yè)方法專利迫在眉睫的威脅”。Inspiteof"endlesstalkofdifference,"Americansocietyisanamazingmachineforhomogenizingpeople.Thereis"thedemocratizinguniformityofdressanddiscourse,andthecasualnessandabsenceofdeference"characteristicofpopularculture.Peopleareabsorbedinto"acultureofconsumption"launchedbythe19th-centurydepartmentstoresthatoffered"vastarraysofgoodsinanelegantatmosphere.Insteadofintimateshopscateringtoaknowledgeableelite,"thesewerestores"anyonecouldenter,regardlessofclassorbackground.Thisturnedshoppingintoapublicanddemocraticact.Themassmedia,advertisingandsportsareotherforcesforhomogenization.Immigrantsarequicklyfittingintothiscommonculture,whichmaynotbealtogetherelevatingbutishardlypoisonous.WritingfortheNationalImmigrationForum,GregoryRodriguezreportsthattoday'simmigrationisneitheratunprecedentedlevelsnorresistanttoassimilation.In1998immigrantswere9.8percentofpopulation;in1990,13.6percent.Inthe10yearspriorto1990,3.1immigrantsarrivedforevery1,000residents;inthe10yearspriorto1890,9.2forevery1,000.Now,considerthreeindicesofassimilation—language,homeownershipandintermarriage.The1990Censusrevealedthat"amajorityofimmigrantsfromeachofthefifteenmostcommoncountriesoforiginspokeEnglish'well'or'verywell'aftertenyearsofresidence."ThechildrenofimmigrantstendtobebilingualandproficientinEnglish."Bythethirdgeneration,theoriginallanguageislostinthemajorityofimmigrantfamilies."HencethedescriptionofAmericaasa"graveyard"forlanguages.By1996foreign-bornimmigrantswhohadarrivedbefore1970hadahomeownershiprateof75.6percent,higherthanthe69.8percentrateamongnative-bornAmericans.Foreign-bornAsiansandHispanics"havehigherratesofintermarriagethandoU.S.-bornwhitesandblacks."Bythethirdgeneration,onethirdofHispanicwomenaremarriedtonon-Hispanics,and41percentofAsian-Americanwomenaremarriedtonon-Asians.RodrigueznotesthatchildreninremotevillagesaroundtheworldarefansofsuperstarslikeArnoldSchwarzeneggerandGarthBrooks,yet"someAmericansfearthatimmigrantslivingwithintheUnitedStatesremainsomehowimmunetothenation'sassimilativepower.AretheredivisiveissuesandpocketsofseethingangerinAmerica?Indeed.Itisbigenoughtohaveabitofeverything.ButparticularlywhenviewedagainstAmerica'sturbulentpast,today'ssocialindiceshardlysuggestadarkanddeterioratingsocialenvironment.31、Theword"homogenizing"(Paragraph1)mostprobablymeans______.A、identifyingB、associatingC、assimilatingD、monopolizing標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞義推斷題。從第一段開頭的Inspiteof這個(gè)詞組可以判斷，homogenize的含義與difference相反。在后面的解釋中使用uniformity(無差異，相同)這個(gè)詞來判斷homogenizing的意思可能是assimilating，所以C項(xiàng)為正確答案。也可以從構(gòu)詞法來看，前綴homo-代表“相同的”，詞根gen一表示“種類，屬”，動(dòng)詞后綴一ize表示“使”，結(jié)合起來即“使成為同種”，即“同化”，因此正確答案為C。32、Accordingtotheauthor,thedepartmentstoresofthe19thcentury______.A、playedaroleinthespreadofpopularcultureB、becameintimateshopsforcommonconsumersC、satisfiedtheneedsofaknowledgeableeliteD、oweditsemergencetothecultureofconsumption標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。該題利用題干中的“thedepartmentstoresofthe19thcentury”定位到文章第一段Peopleareabsorbedinto“acultureofconsumption”launchedbythe19th-centurydepartmentstoresthatoffered“vastarraysofgoodsinanelegantatmosphere．”可見，thecultureofconsumption是由這些百貨商店發(fā)起的。選項(xiàng)A與相關(guān)信息句“融入了19世紀(jì)百貨商店倡導(dǎo)的消費(fèi)文化”直接關(guān)聯(lián)；選項(xiàng)B、C、D均與上述信息句沒有任何關(guān)聯(lián)。因此，正確答案為A“在大眾文化傳播方面發(fā)揮作用”。33、ThetextsuggeststhatimmigrantsnowintheU.S.______.A、areresistanttohomogenizationB、exertagreatinfluenceonAmericancultureC、arehardlyathreattothecommoncultureD、constitutethemajorityofthepopulation標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。該題利用題干中的“immigrants”定位到文章第二段Immigrantsarequicklyfittingintothiscommonculture，whichmaynotbealtogetherelevatingbutishardlypoisonous．“移民很快適應(yīng)了這一共同文化，雖然這種文化可能不會(huì)引人向上，但也不會(huì)毒害人們。”選項(xiàng)A“抵制同質(zhì)化”，與上述句子內(nèi)容沒有關(guān)聯(lián)；選項(xiàng)B“對(duì)美國文化產(chǎn)生重大影響”，文章中的意思是移民來到美國后并不抵制美國大眾文化，移民更多的是融入美國當(dāng)?shù)氐奈幕?，也談不上?duì)美國文化產(chǎn)生巨大影響，故選項(xiàng)B不正確；選項(xiàng)D“占美國絕大多數(shù)人口”，文章中的意思是移民所占人口比例歷年來只在10％上下，算不上美國人口的多數(shù)，故選項(xiàng)D不正確；選項(xiàng)C“對(duì)公共文化幾乎沒有威脅”，與前面的信息句意思一致，因此正確答案為C。34、WhyareArnoldSchwarzeneggerandGarthBrooksmentionedinParagraph5?A、Toprovetheirpopularityaroundtheworld.B、Torevealthepublic’sfearofimmigrants.C、Togiveexamplesofsuccessfulimmigrants.D、ToshowthepowerfulinfluenceofAmericanculture.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。在文章第五段中，作者以這兩位明星為例不是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)他們的知名度，而是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)美國文化的影響力，甚至是居住在遠(yuǎn)離美國的某個(gè)小村莊的孩子們都可能成為這兩位明星的粉絲，因此D“表明美國文化的巨大影響力”為正確選項(xiàng)。35、Intheauthor’sopinion,theabsorptionofimmigrantsintoAmericansocietyis______.A、rewardingB、successfulC、fruitlessD、harmful標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨大意題。文章結(jié)尾處說ButparticularlywhenviewedagainstAmerica’sturbulentpast，today’ssocialindiceshardlysuggestadarkanddeterioratingsocialenvironment．“但是，當(dāng)審視美國過去的騷動(dòng)時(shí)，當(dāng)今的美國社會(huì)各項(xiàng)指標(biāo)幾乎沒有顯示出社會(huì)環(huán)境變得腐敗黑暗”，由此可以判斷，作者認(rèn)為美國社會(huì)對(duì)移民的同化是成功的。因此，正確答案為B。Bankershavebeenblamingthemselvesfortheirtroublesinpublic.Behindthescenes,theyhavebeentakingaimatsomeoneelse;theaccountingstandard-setters.Theirrules,moanthebanks,haveforcedthemtoreportenormouslosses,andit'sjustnotfair.Theserulessaytheymustvaluesomeassetsatthepriceathirdpartywouldpay,notthepricemanagersandregulatorswouldlikethemtofetch.Unfortunately,banks'lobbyingnowseemstobeworking.Thedetailsmaybeunknowable,buttheindependenceofstandard-setters,essentialtotheproperfunctioningofcapitalmarkets,isbeingcompromised.And,unlessbankscarrytoxicassetsatpricesthatattractbuyers,revivingthebankingsystemwillbedifficult.AfterabruisingencounterwithCongress,America'sFinancialAccountingStandardsBoard(FASB)rushedthroughrulechanges.Thesegavebanksmorefreedomtousemodelstovalueilliquidassetsandmoreflexibilityinrecognizinglossesonlong-termassetsintheirincomestatement.BobHerz,theFASB'schairman,criedoutagainstthosewho"questionourmotives."Yetbanksharesroseandthechangesenhancewhatonelobbygrouppolitelycalls"theuseofjudgmentbymanagement.EuropeanministersinstantlydemandedthattheInternationalAccountingStandardsBoard(IASB)dolikewise.TheIASBsaysitdoesnotwanttoactwithoutoverallplanning,butthepressuretofoldwhenitcompletesitreconstructionofruleslaterthisyearisstrong.CharlieMcCreevy,aEuropeancommissioner,warnedtheIASBthatitdid"notliveinapoliticalvacuum"but"intherealword"andthatEuropecouldyetdevelopdifferentrules.Itwasbanksthatwereonthewrongplanet,withaccountsthatvastlyovervaluedassets.Todaytheyarguethatmarketpricesoverstatelosses,becausetheylargelyreflectthetemporaryilliquidityofmarkets,notthelikelyextentofbaddebts.Thetruthwillnotbeknownforyears.Butbank'ssharestradebelowtheirbookvalue,suggestingthatinvestorsareskeptical.Anddeadmarketspartlyreflecttheparalysisofbankswhichwillnotsellassetsforfearofbookinglosses,yetarereluctanttobuyallthosesupposedbargains.Togetthesystemworkingagain,lossesmustberecognizedanddealtwith.America'snewplantobuyuptoxicassetswillnotworkunlessbanksmarkassetstolevelswhichbuyersfindattractive.Successfulmarketsrequireindependentandevencombativestandard-setters.TheFASBandIASBhavebeenexactlythat,cleaninguprulesonstockoptionsandpensions,forexample,againsthostilityfromspecialinterests.Butbygivingintocriticsnowtheyareinvitingpressuretomakemoreconcessions.36、Bankerscomplainedthattheywereforcedto______.A、followunfavorableassetevaluationrulesB、collectpaymentsfromthirdpartiesC、cooperatewiththepricemanagersD、reevaluatesomeoftheirassets標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)B是對(duì)文章內(nèi)容的偷梁換柱，把value偷換為collect。選項(xiàng)C與原文語義相反。錯(cuò)誤一：原文明確說“規(guī)則不讓按照managers期待的價(jià)格評(píng)估”，所以這與cooperate(合作)語義相反。錯(cuò)誤二：原文中沒有提到pricemanager這個(gè)概念，managersandregulatorswouldlikethemtofetch是定語從句來修飾price。選項(xiàng)Dreevaluate(重新評(píng)估)無中生有。題目中complain相當(dāng)于moan，選項(xiàng)A中unfavorable相當(dāng)于notfair，assetevaluation相當(dāng)于valuesomeassets，所以本項(xiàng)屬于同義替換，因此正確選項(xiàng)為A“遵循不利的資產(chǎn)評(píng)估準(zhǔn)則”。37、Accordingtotheauthor,therulechangesoftheFASBmayresultin______.A、thediminishingroleofmanagementB、therevivalofthebankingsystemC、thebanks’long-termassetlossesD、theweakeningofitsindependence標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)A與原文意思相反，diminish與文章中的enhance相矛盾。對(duì)于選項(xiàng)B，第二段中講了銀行復(fù)蘇的條件：“銀行如果不以能夠吸引買家的價(jià)格計(jì)量有毒資產(chǎn)，銀行系統(tǒng)的復(fù)蘇將會(huì)非常困難?！倍具x項(xiàng)說FASB的規(guī)則變化會(huì)帶來復(fù)蘇，與文章內(nèi)容不相符。選項(xiàng)C是對(duì)第三段第二句的斷章取義，應(yīng)排除。從第三段可知FASB通過了規(guī)則變化，第二段首句的意思是“不幸的是，銀行的游說活動(dòng)看來已起作用了”。這就意味著：第一段提到的“銀行抱怨規(guī)則的不公平”得到重視，規(guī)則變化了。所以本題題干問的“therulechangesoftheFASB”的結(jié)果也就是第二段的第二句。因此選項(xiàng)D“其獨(dú)立性的削弱”為正確答案。38、AccordingtoParagraph4,McCreevyobjectstotheIASB’sattemptto______.A、keepawayfrompoliticalinfluencesB、evadethepressurefromtheirpeersC、actontheirowninrule-settingD、takegradualmeasuresinreform標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)A是強(qiáng)干擾項(xiàng)，貌似是對(duì)第四段中“notinapoliticalvacuum”的同義替換，但是與選項(xiàng)C相比，C選項(xiàng)更加符合本段的中心內(nèi)容。因?yàn)楸径尾⒉皇菑?qiáng)調(diào)IASB不能擺脫政治影響，而是強(qiáng)調(diào)IASB想要自己獨(dú)立地制定規(guī)則。當(dāng)兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)無法分清的時(shí)候，符合中心內(nèi)容的才是正確答案。選項(xiàng)B為偷梁換柱，原文沒有提來自同伴的壓力(pressurefromtheirpeers)，而是說“在今年下半年完成規(guī)則修訂時(shí)必須屈服的壓力”。選項(xiàng)D“在改革中采取漸進(jìn)措施”屬于無中生有。對(duì)于選項(xiàng)C，文章中講歐洲部長對(duì)IASB的要求，提到了IASB對(duì)其的抵觸情緒，但是(but)壓力又很大(sttong)，McCreevy警告IASB它不是“處在政治真空中”而是“在現(xiàn)實(shí)世界里”。這些內(nèi)容的中心思想是：IASB想自己獨(dú)立的制定規(guī)則(actontheirowninrulesetting)，而歐洲部長(包括McCreevy)又想命令其按自己意愿行為，所以C為正確答案。39、Theauthorthinksthebankswere"onthewrongplanet"inthatthey______.A、misinterpretedmarketpriceindicatorsB、exaggeratedtherealvalueoftheirassetsC、neglectedthelikelyexistenceofbaddebtsD、deniedbookinglossesintheirsaleofassets標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章中第五段首句“Itwasbanksthatwereonthewrongplanet，withaccountsthatvastlyovervaluedassets”可知題干中的inthat相當(dāng)于首句中的with，所以with后面就是解題關(guān)鍵，選項(xiàng)B“夸大了其資產(chǎn)的實(shí)際價(jià)值”，與此句中的overvalued是同義替換，因此正確答案為B。40、Theauthor’sattitudetowardsstandard-settersisoneof______.A、satisfactionB、skepticismC、objectivenessD、sympathy標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：態(tài)度題。文章中第一段的中心句“銀行家們?cè)诠矆?chǎng)合將他們的麻煩歸咎于自身，而私下里卻把目標(biāo)對(duì)準(zhǔn)了別人：會(huì)計(jì)準(zhǔn)則制定者”，第二段中“不幸的是，銀行的游說活動(dòng)看來已顯成效。其中細(xì)節(jié)可能無法獲知，但是準(zhǔn)則制定者的獨(dú)立性——資產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)正常運(yùn)行的關(guān)鍵——已經(jīng)削弱了”和最后一段中心句“成功的市場(chǎng)需要獨(dú)立的、甚至好戰(zhàn)的準(zhǔn)則制定者”，表明作者對(duì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的制定者的態(tài)度是贊同的，同時(shí)面對(duì)銀行家咄咄逼人的態(tài)勢(shì)，以及標(biāo)準(zhǔn)制定者所面臨的壓力，作者又對(duì)他們表示同情，所以正確選項(xiàng)為D。三、閱讀9翻譯句子)(本題共1題，每題1.0分，共1分。)41、Itisjustoneexampleofthegrowingconcernovertheincreasingpowerconsumptionandenvironmentalimpactofcomputers.Astudyfoundthatthepowerconsumptionofdatacentersdoubledbetween2000and2005;andnowaccountsfor1.2%ofAmericanelectricityconsumption,thoughotherestimatesputthefigureat4%.Companiesnowspendasmuchas10%oftheirtechnologybudgetsonenergy,saysRakeshKumarofGartner,aconsultancy.Powerconsumptionhasincreasedbecauseoftheriseoftheinternet,ofcourse,butalsobecauseofwayinwhichcomputershavehistoricallybeendesigned:tomaximizeperformanceatallcosts.Between1996and2006,thenumberofserversinusewentfrom6millionto28millionandtheaveragepowerconsumptionofeachservergrewfrom150wattsto400watts.Butthingsarenowstartingtochangeandthecomputerindustryhasbeenseizedwithenthusiasmfor"greencomputing".標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：這只是人們?nèi)找骊P(guān)注計(jì)算機(jī)漸增的能耗以及環(huán)境影響的一個(gè)例子。一項(xiàng)研究顯示，從2000年到2005年，數(shù)據(jù)中心的能耗翻了一番，目前占美國電力消耗的1．2％，不過其他評(píng)估報(bào)告認(rèn)為該數(shù)字應(yīng)該是4％。Gartner咨詢公司的RakeshKumar說，目前各公司將它們技術(shù)預(yù)算的10％用于能源支出。當(dāng)然，能耗的增加不僅是由于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的興起，也與計(jì)算機(jī)一直以來的設(shè)計(jì)方式有關(guān)，即不惜任何代價(jià)，最大限度地提高性能。從1996年到2006年，運(yùn)行中的服務(wù)器數(shù)量從600萬臺(tái)增至2800萬臺(tái)，每臺(tái)服務(wù)器的平均能耗從150瓦升至400瓦。不過情況現(xiàn)在正在開始發(fā)生變化，計(jì)算機(jī)行業(yè)已興起了一股“綠色計(jì)算”熱潮。知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：暫無解析四、小作文(本題共1題，每題1.0分，共1分。)42、TwomonthsagoyougotajobasaneditorforthemagazineDesigns&Fashions.Butnowyoufindthattheworkisnotwhatyouexpected.Youdecidetoquit.Writealettertoyourboss,Mr.Wang,tellinghimyourdecision,statingyourreason(s),andmakinganapology.Writeyourletterwithabout100words.WriteitneatlyonANSWERSHEET2.Donotsignyourownnameattheendoftheletter;use"LiM
