有“下降”的意思，但是表示數(shù)字較少一般只用fall。17.D 四項都有“受…困擾”的意思，但在這里后面的介詞為about，所以應(yīng)該用worried，其他幾個動詞應(yīng)用by。18.C 四項都有“禁止”的含義：prohibit意為“禁止”，一般表示禁止某項活動；proscribe意為“放逐”；interdict意為“阻斷、閉鎖”；ban意為“取締、禁止<書刊>”，根據(jù)句意，C項最合適。19.A 這幾個介詞后面都可以跟時間，但表示的意思不同：in在…之內(nèi)；over從頭到尾，強(qiáng)調(diào)覆蓋全部時間；through到…為止；by到…為止。根據(jù)后面hasbeengood可知應(yīng)是個延續(xù)的時間，強(qiáng)調(diào)的是全部時間里，因此A比B更好一些。20.D point指出；spot精確地標(biāo)識；place放置；set放置；point和spot在這里都說得通，但spot多了一層“精確”的意味，更使用于描寫經(jīng)濟(jì)。21.A 根據(jù)上下文，R指數(shù)和GDP指數(shù)不同，所以意思應(yīng)是“不象”，而as后面應(yīng)該是句子，unlike后是名詞，所以選A。22.D 由上下文可知，R指數(shù)可隨時獲取，而GDP卻相反，只有發(fā)生經(jīng)濟(jì)停滯后才出現(xiàn)。23.B 關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)的句子是一個完整的句子。24.D 根據(jù)句意要表達(dá)的是“日益增加的”，應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞形式。25.C coin杜撰；construct構(gòu)建、創(chuàng)立；built建造；setup樹立、建立；A意義不符合，B、D一般只建構(gòu)具體的事物，因此C比較合適。26.D “thewordrecessionappearsinHandelsblatt”是numbers的一個定語從句，所以應(yīng)選D。27.B rise上升；growth增長；rising起立；climb爬升。B項最為恰當(dāng)。28.A 該句為省略句，完整句子為aswhathappenedinAmerica。29.C either...or不是…就是…。30.A depression衰退；decline下降；despair絕望；dejection沮喪。A最切合句意。SectionIII ReadingComprehension(40points)Directions:Readthefollowingfourtexts.AnswerthequestionsbeloweachtextbychoosingA,B,CorD.MarkyouranswersontheANSWERSHEET.Questions31to35arebasedonthefollowingpassage.Whyshouldanyonebuythelatestvolumeintheever-expandingDictionaryofNationalBiography?Idonotmeanthatitisbad,asthereviewerswillagree.Butitwillcostyou65pounds.Andhaveyougottherestofvolumes?Youneedthebasic22plusthelargelydecennialsupplementstobringthetotalto31.Ofcourse,itwillbeanswered,publicandacademiclibrarieswillwantthenewvolume.Afterall,itadds1068livesofpeoplewhoescapedthenetoftheoriginalcompilers.Yetin10year’stimearevisedversionofthewholecaboodle,calledtheNewDictionaryofNationalBiography,willbepublished.Itseditor,ProfessorColinMatthew,tellsmethathewillhaveroomforabout50,000lives,some13,000morethaninthecurrentDNB.Thisratherputsthe1,068inMissingPersonsintheshade.WhenDr.NichollswrotetoTheSpectatorin1989askingfornameofpeoplewhomreadershadlookedupintheDNBandhadbeendisappointednottofind,shesaysthatshereceivedsome100,000suggestions.Assoonashercommitteehadwhittledthenumbersdown,theprofessionalproblemsofaneditorbegan.Contributorsdidn’tfilecopyontime;somewhodidsenttoomuch:50,000wordsinsteadof500isarecord,accordingtoDr.Nicholls.Thereremainsthedinnerpartygameofwho’sin,who’sout.Thatisagamethatthereviewershaveplayedandwillcontinuetoplay.Criminalsweremyinitialworry.Afterall,theoriginaleditionoftheDNBboasted;malefactorswhosecrimesexciteapermanentinteresthavereceivedhardlylessattentionthanbenefactors.Mr.JohnGrossclearlyhadsimilaranxieties,forhecomplainsthat,whilethemurdererChristieisin,Crippenisout.OnemightsayinreplythattheinjusticeofthehangingofEvansinsteadofChristiewasaforceintherepealofcapitalpunishmentinBritain.ButthenCrippenwasreputedasthefirstmurderertobecaughtbytelegraphy(hehadtriedtoescapebyshiptoAmerica).ItissurprisingtofindMaxMillerexcludedwhenreallynotverymemorablenamesgetin.TherehasbeenaconsciousefforttoputinartistsandarchitectsfromthemiddleAges.Abouttheirlivesnotmuchisalwaysknown.OfHugoofBuryStEdmunds,a12th-centuryilluminatorwhosedatesofbirthanddeatharenotrecorded,hisbiographercomments:‘WhetherornotHugowasawall-painter,therecordsofhisactivitiesascarverandmanuscriptpainterattesttohisversatility’.Thentherehadtobemorewomen,too(12percent,againsttheoriginalDBN’s3),suchasRoyStrong’ssubject,theTudorpainterLevinaTeerlinc,ofwhomheremarks:‘Hertechniqueremainedawkward,thinanoftencursory’.Thatdoesn’tseemtoqualifyherasamemorableartist.YetitmaybebetterthantherecordoftheoriginalDNB,whichincludedlivesofpeoplewhoneverexisted(suchasMerlin).31.Thewritersuggeststhatthereisnosenseinbuyingthelatestvolume,______A.becauseitisnotworththepriceB.becauseithasfewerentriesthanbeforeC.unlessonehasallthevolumesinthecollectionD.unlessanexpandedDNBwillcomeoutshortly32.OntheissueofwhoshouldbeincludedintheDNB,thewriterseemstosuggestthat______.A.theeditorshadclearrolestofollowB.therewastoomanycriminalsintheentriesC.theeditorsclearlyfavouredbenefactorsD.theeditorswereirrationalintheirchoices33.CrippenwasabsentfromtheDNB______.A.becauseheescapedtotheU.S.B.becausedeathsentencehadbeenabolishedC.forreasonsnotclarifiedD.becauseoftheeditors’mistake34.Theauthorquotedafewentriesinthelastparagraphto______A.illustratesomefeaturesoftheDNBB.giveemphasistohisargumentC.impressthereaderwithitscontentD.highlightthepeopleintheMiddleAges35.Onthewhole,thewriter’stonetowardstheDNBwas______A.complimentary B.supportiveC.disapproval  D.bitter【答案與解析】31.C 第一段對于購買國家傳記字典提出質(zhì)疑，因為買到的字典并不完整?！癥ouneedthebasic22plusthelargelydecennialsupplementstobringthetotalto31.”由此可見，如果沒有所有的volumes，購買就是沒有意義的。故選項C正確。32.D 在《英國傳記大詞典》收錄人物的問題上，作者對編輯持否定態(tài)度。根據(jù)文章第二段，讀者在字典中查閱不到很多人物，并向TheSpectator提出建議，可是編輯做的工作遠(yuǎn)不能讓人滿意，因此選項A可排除。文章并沒有涉及到toomanycriminals的問題，選項B錯誤。收錄人物方面編輯是irrational，故選項D正確。33.C 根據(jù)文章第三段得知Christie是一名罪犯，因為他而誤殺了Evans，他的案例是英國主張撤銷死刑的一個原因。Crippen是第一個應(yīng)用電信技術(shù)抓獲的罪犯。至于為什么Crippen沒有被收錄，文章沒有給出原因。故選項C正確。34.B 最后一段中，作者列出了DNB中的MaxMiller，Hugo和LevinaTeerlinc，以證明其論點，說明DNB收錄人物的不合理性。而不是解釋DNB的特點或突出中世紀(jì)人物。故選項B正確。35.C 通讀全文可知本文的主題是《英國傳記大詞典》收錄人物問題。作者對現(xiàn)收錄人物和編輯的工作并不滿意，給出LevinaTeerlinc等例子證明其不合理。因此，作者對DNB是持否定態(tài)度的。Questions36to40arebasedonthefollowingpassage.URUGUAYhasbeenaproudexceptiontotheprivatizingwavethatsweptthroughSouthAmericainthe1990s.Itsstate-ownedfirmsaremoreefficientthanmanyoftheircounterpartsinArgentinaandBrazileverwere.In1992,Uruguayansvotedinareferendumagainstprivatizingtelecoms.TheyrightlyobservethatsomeofArgentina’ssaleswerebotched,creatinginefficientprivatemonopolies.Andwithunemploymentat15%,nobodyisenthusiasticaboutthejobcutsprivatizationwouldinvolve.ThatleavesPresidentJorgeBattlewithaproblem.Uruguayhasbeeninrecessionforthepasttwoyears,mainlybecauseoflowpricesforitsagriculturalexports,andbecauseofArgentina’swoes.Butpublicdebtisat45%ofGDP,andrising.Someeconomistsarguethatprivatizationwouldgiveaboosttotheeconomy,byattractingforeigninvestment,andbyloweringcosts.CERES,athink-tank,havingcomparedtariffsforpublicservicesinUruguayanditsneighbors,believesliberalizationcouldsavebusinessesandhouseholdstheequivalentof4%ofGDPannually,raisegrowthandproduceanet45,000jobs.Thepollsthatshowcontinuingsupportforpublicownershipalsoshowgrowingoppositiontomonopolies.SoMr.Battleplanstokeepthestatefirms,butletprivateoneseithercompetewiththemorbidtooperatetheirservicesundercontract.TheoppositionBroadFrontandthetradeunionsareresisting.Theyhavegatheredenoughsignaturestodemanda“publicconsultation”nextmonthonanewlawtoallowprivateoperatorsintheportsandrailways—areferendumonwhethertoholdareferendumontheissue.AlbertoBension,thefinanceminister,admitsthevotewillbeacrucialindicatorofhowfarthegovernmentcanpush.Buthenotesthat,since1992,attemptstooverturnlawsbycallingreferendumshaveflopped.Theliberalizationoftelecomshasalreadybegun.BellSouth,anAmericanfirm,isthefirstprivatecell-phoneoperator.Thereareplanstolicenseothers,andtalkofallowingcompetitionforfixed-linetelephones.AnewlawallowsprivatecompaniestoimportgasfromArgentinatogenerateelectricityincompetitionwiththestateutility.AnotherplanwouldstripAncap,thestateoilfirm,ofitsmonopolyofimports.Ithasalreadybeenallowedtoseekaprivatepartnertomodernizeitsrefinery.Hardertaskslieahead.Thestate-ownedbanksaresaddledwithproblemloanstofarmersandhomeowners.AndMr.Battleshowsnoappetiteforcuttingthebloatedbureaucracy.Afterayearinoffice,thepresidentispopular.Hehascreatedacross-partycommissiontoinvestigate“disappearances”duringUruguay’smilitarydictatorshipof1976-85.Theunionsareweakenedbyunemployment.AtCERES,ErnestoTalviarguesthatMr.Battleshouldnotehisownstrength,andpushaheadmoreblidly.ButthatisnottheUruguayanway.36.Uruguayinthe1990s______A.movedintheprivatizingwaveB.adoptedthesamemeasureasthatofArgentinaC.stickedtoitsoldeconomicmodeD.developedveryslowly37.Whatcanweinferfromthefirstfourparagraphs?A.Uruguayhasbeenalwaystryingtojoinintheprivatizingwave.B.EconomistsarguethatprivatizationistheonlywaytoboostUruguay’sGDP.C.Mr.Battleplanstoprivatizethecountry’seconomycompletely.D.TheoppositionBroadFrontisinfavorofprivatization.38.The5thparagraphsuggeststhat______.A.BellSouthisbuiltupin1982B.therehasbeennolawtoregulatetheelectricityC.AncapmaymodernizeitsrefinerywiththehelpofaprivatepartnerD.liberalizationmakestheeconomyslack39.Whatdoestheauthormeanby“flopped”(lastline,paragraph4)?A.succeededB.failedC.FollowedD.Provoked40.Whichoneistrueaccordingtothepassage?A.PrivatizationisthrivinginUruguay.B.Now,referendahavelessstrengthtochangesomelaws.C.Uruguayanpeoplearesatisfiedwiththegovernment’sactionswithregardtotheeconomy.D.ThePresidentismanagingtokeepthestatecompaniesefficient.【答案與解析】36.C 文章第一段第一句“URUGUAYhasbeenaproudexceptiontotheprivatizingwavethatsweptthroughSouthAmericainthe1990s.”中的exception指例外，可見烏拉圭并沒有私有化，堅持了自己的發(fā)展方式。故選項C正確。37.D 從文章首段第一句即可得知選項A錯誤。選項B和選項C中的only和completely過于絕對，不符題意。選項D由文章第四段推理得出。故選項D正確。38.C 選項A錯誤，Bell公司成立的年份沒有給出。選項B中nolaw錯誤，根據(jù)第五段“anewlawallows...”可以得知。選項D指出自由化是經(jīng)濟(jì)放緩，與文意不符。根據(jù)第五段選項C符合題意。故選項C正確。39.B 根據(jù)第四段得知：反對政府政策的工會等要求就私有化問題全民公投，希望抵制政府政策。但是，自1992年起“attemptstooverturnlawsbycallingreferendumshaveflopped”。由此推理得知flop為“失敗”之意。故選項B正確。40.D 選項A指出私有化thriving，不符題意，文章指出私有化剛剛起步。選項B中l(wèi)essstrength與原文不符。選項C忽視了工會等對政府措施的抵制。故選項D正確。Questions41to45arebasedonthefollowingpassage.TheUniversityintransformation,editedbyAustralianfuturistsSohailInayatullahandJenniferGidley,presentssome20highlyvariedoutlooksontomorrow’suniversitiesbywritersrepresentingbothWesternandnon-Westernperspectives.Theiressaysraiseabroadrangeofissues,questioningnearlyeverykeyassumptionwehaveabouthighereducationtoday.ThemostwidelydiscussedalternativetothetraditionalcampusistheInternetUniversity—avoluntarycommunitytoscholarsandteachersphysicallyscatteredthroughoutacountryoraroundtheworldbutalllinkedincyberspace.Acomputerizeduniversitycouldhavemanyadvantages,suchaseasyscheduling,efficientdeliveryoflecturestothousandsorevenmillionsofstudentsatonce,andreadyaccessforstudentseverywheretotheresourcesofalltheworld’sgreatlibraries.YettheInternetUniversityposesdangers,too.For
