《TheMythofthePaperlessOffice》,無紙化辦公室神話。講的是新技術對現(xiàn)

代辦公的影響。

34題，meeting在這里不是特殊指代，只是敘述的一般情況。不需要使用定

冠詞the。

35題,正確的

36題，和上面的部分聯(lián)系起來作為一個整體來考慮。paper,havingalready

survivedfivethousandyearsoftechnologicalchange,andhasprovedremarkably

resilient.中間的部分是插入語，可以不考慮，所以完整的應該是paperhasproved

remarkablyresiliento主謂賓非常齊全，and是多余的。resilient是適應力強的，

有彈力的。

37題，used在這里是后置定語，修飾前面的paper,意思是每年使用的紙的

總數(shù)，不需要for。

38題，持續(xù)增長，用rise,riseup是起義的意思。

39題，theamountconsumedintheUK,consumed也是后置定語，表示英國

的消費總量。it多余。

40題，正確的

41題，inmostpeople'seyes在大多數(shù)人的眼里，of多余。

42題，正確的

43題，mighthavedone表示可能已經(jīng)做了某事，而這里的意思是指電子郵

件等可能會被刪除，不用have,去掉。

44題，PaulBlunt,amarketingmanagerfordesktopproducts,whosaysthere

hasbeensignificantprogresso中間的部分是插入成分,不予考慮。完整的是Paul

Blunt(who)saystherehasbeensignificantprogress.主語是人，i胃語是says,后面

是賓語，成分齊全，who是多余的。

45題，thetransitionbetweenhasbeenmoreofanevolutionthanarevolution.

依然是一個完整的句子，成分齊全，transition是主語，hasbeen是謂語，between

是多余的。

這是一篇總結性的文章，講述了一個公司一年的業(yè)績狀況，形勢喜人。

19題，interests在這里的用法比較特殊，不是興趣，而是股權，權益的證明:

l)Somethinginwhichsucharight,claim,orshareisheld:

權益、債權或股權的證明：

hasinterestsoverseas.

有海外產(chǎn)權

2)Apersonorgroupofpersonsholdingsucharight,claim,orshare:

持有此種權益、債權或股權的人或集團：

apetroleuminterest.

石油業(yè)者

20題，很顯然意思是連續(xù)五年利潤創(chuàng)記錄，inarow是固定短語、連續(xù)幾次

的，連續(xù)不斷的;inaline是成一排。

21題，年稅前收益截至3月31日增長了24%,達到了420萬英鎊。theyear

endingMarch31,表示以3月31日結束

22題，意思很明顯，銷售增長了5%。climb有一種用法是指數(shù)量或水平的增

長例句：

(toincreaseinnumber,amount,orlevel)oThetemperaturehasclimbed

steadilysincethismorning.

23和24題,雖然整個行業(yè)的貿(mào)易狀況很困難，但是agriculturalbusiness創(chuàng)

造了另一個創(chuàng)紀錄的表現(xiàn)。

25題，gardenequipmentdivision園林設備部。截至目前所做的解析，這個

division已經(jīng)是第二次在完形填空里出現(xiàn)了。

26和27題，Itismybeliefthat我相信。我相信是因為好好對待了客戶所以

我們才會持續(xù)增長。

28題，很高興報告客戶基數(shù)的持續(xù)增長。從意思上看可以排除C,A和B都

是比較正式的通知，選D,報告。

29題，customerbase客戶基數(shù)，這也已經(jīng)是第二次考到了。

30題，典型的客套話，感謝客戶的支持。

31題，新增了58位新員工。takeup占據(jù)，拿起，繼續(xù)，開始從事等等;take

back拿回，收回;takeon一般做呈現(xiàn)講，有雇傭的意思（朗文：tostartt。employ

someone）,彳列句：We'retakingon50newstaffthisyear.takeover

32題，付出了持續(xù)不斷的努力實現(xiàn)了這些結果。achieve是最地道的。

疑問：

23題為什么不能選D做”示范〃講?

先從文章的內(nèi)容來理解的話，23這個空說的是agriculturalbusiness的業(yè)績好,

表現(xiàn)好，用performance是很完美合適的

具體說這個demonstration,的確有"示范"的意思，但在英英詞典是這么解釋

的：

“anactofexplainingandshowinghowtodosomethingorhowsomething

works",中文做"演示"講

所以用在這里是不合適的，并沒有進行業(yè)績演示

你理解的"示范"，應該是那種帶有榜樣性質的示范。單看中文意思很容易混

淆

一般短文改錯常出現(xiàn)的錯誤有短語搭配、語法，還有根據(jù)上下文含義選出不

合適的詞。所以想做好改錯，要有一定的語言基礎，還得從整體上把握整篇文章。

34題,如果這里有have,那么后面的lead應用分詞形式led(mayhavedone),

而且考慮這里的時，并不是已經(jīng)完成，而是表示可能導致的結果。所以去掉have。

35題，這里的which必須去掉，如果不去的話，這個句子就缺少謂語動詞。

36題，attract是及物動詞，后面不需要from。

37題，根據(jù)前后文的意思，unless是多余的。

38題，"yourpart..."這個句子里有兩個謂語動詞，必須去掉it。

39題是對的，不知會不會有人認為這里的how可以去掉。從語法上說how

去留都行，但是從后面的意思看，每個人必須根據(jù)自己的角色來做準備工作，所

以how必須保留。

41題，dealwith是固定短語，in是多余的。

42題，從整個句子的意思和語法上看，0nly都是多余的。

43題，如果both要保留，and后面的內(nèi)容就必須與questions并列，可這里

and后面的內(nèi)容是與前面的toanticipate并列，所以both去掉。

45題,后面的youarenotfamiliarwith是修飾matters的，as在這里很多余
