案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：afford在這里的意思是：經(jīng)得起(做某事，或發(fā)生某事)。這個(gè)句子的意思是：然而，沒(méi)有哪個(gè)商人能經(jīng)得起長(zhǎng)時(shí)期的賠錢(qián)。例如：Wecouldn’taffordtoignoretheproblemofpollution。我們可不能忽視污染的問(wèn)題。affordable：(價(jià)格)付得起的，不貴的。例如：Thestoresellsthingswhichareveryaffordable．那家商店的東西不貴。affordto中的to不能省略，它引出動(dòng)詞不動(dòng)式，所以D是錯(cuò)誤的選擇。但afford后可直接跟名詞，意為；付得起(錢(qián)或時(shí)間)。例如：Theycouldn’taffordthemedicaltreatment．他們付不起治療費(fèi)。23、A、constantlyawareB、constantlyknowledgeableofC、beconstantlyawareofD、constantlyawareof標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：aware是形容詞，beawareof意為：意識(shí)到，認(rèn)識(shí)到。A和D錯(cuò)在沒(méi)有動(dòng)詞be，A還少了of，B項(xiàng)中knowledgeable的意思是“有知識(shí)的”。24、A、whileB、asC、howeverD、nowthat標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：as在這里是“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”的意思。這句話(huà)是說(shuō)：許多人認(rèn)為，當(dāng)生產(chǎn)增長(zhǎng)時(shí)，單位成本便下降。while在做“當(dāng)……”解釋時(shí)，常常用于動(dòng)詞的進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，例如：Shewasreadingwhileherbrotherwasplayingguitar。雖然nowthat也是連接詞，但它的意思是；既然。例如：Nowthatyouhavemadesomemoney,youcanuseittodowhatyouhavealwayswantedtodo。你已經(jīng)賺了一些錢(qián)，那你就可以去做你一直想做的事了。25、A、BecauseB、SinceC、WhenD、While標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)上下文，以及該句的意思，這里需要一個(gè)引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句的連接詞，while在句中起此作用時(shí)，其意與although相同。這一狀語(yǔ)從句的意思是：雖然大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)已在一些行業(yè)在某種程度證實(shí)了這一點(diǎn)……例如：Whilethelightturnedgreen，thetrafficcouldn’tmoveabit．雖然已是綠燈，車(chē)輛仍無(wú)法前行寸步。because和since引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句，而when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。26、A、bothB、aswellasC、alsoD、but標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：在英語(yǔ)中，although(while)不能和but一起連用，不能說(shuō)：Whilehewasill,buthestillwenttowork。只能說(shuō)：Whilehewaswill,hestillwenttowork。雖然他生病了，但是他仍然去上班。因此D是錯(cuò)誤選擇。bothlogicandpracticalexperiencehaveshown...無(wú)論是邏輯上還是實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)都表明…27、A、referB、refertoC、callD、arereferredto標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：在英語(yǔ)中，可以用refertosomethingas來(lái)指“把……稱(chēng)做”。A少了介詞to；C是錯(cuò)誤的，因?yàn)椴荒苷f(shuō)：callthisprincipleasthelawofincreasingcosts，只能說(shuō)：callthisprinciplethelawofincreasingcosts；如果用D，句子需這樣改寫(xiě)：Thisprincipleisreferredtoasthelawofincreasingcosts。28、A、costB、thecostC、thecostsD、costs標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：A和B是單數(shù)，而動(dòng)詞rise要求其主語(yǔ)是復(fù)數(shù)形式；C是復(fù)數(shù)形式，但定冠詞the表示價(jià)格是特定的價(jià)格，而這里的價(jià)格是指一般意義上的價(jià)格。因此，只有D是正確選擇。29、A、fromB、inC、/D、for標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：resultfrom和resultin所表達(dá)的因果關(guān)系正好相反，如要說(shuō)“我們的努力沒(méi)有產(chǎn)生任何結(jié)果”，這兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)都可以使用：Nothingresultedfromourefforts.Oureffortsresultedinnothing．顯然，文章內(nèi)容要求使用resultin。30、A、lessB、numerousC、moreD、many標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：這一段是在討論生產(chǎn)成本的問(wèn)題。上一句告訴我們，生產(chǎn)的增長(zhǎng)可能要增加一些額外的生產(chǎn)要素。這句中的skilledlabour，也是一種生產(chǎn)要素，所以應(yīng)選擇more而不是less，否則與原文意思不符。31、A、themB、theseC、itD、those標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：這里的代詞顯然是指句子前部分提到的labour，而labour在這里用作不可數(shù)名詞，所以，其代詞只能是it。32、A、offeringB、cuttingC、reducingD、having標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：這句的主語(yǔ)this指上句中的內(nèi)容：在沒(méi)有技術(shù)工人失業(yè)的情況下，要從其他地方去找技術(shù)工人。要做到這一點(diǎn)，只能用出高工資的方法。所以offering是唯一正確的選擇。33、A、asjustB、justasC、becauseD、while標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章的最后這句是將勞動(dòng)力的生產(chǎn)力與土地的肥沃程度以及鐵礦石的礦物含量進(jìn)行相似性對(duì)比，因此，要選擇justas(正如)。這里不能填入because，因?yàn)槠淝昂髢?nèi)容不是因果關(guān)系；也不能填入while，因?yàn)楹蟀刖洳皇亲尣綘钫Z(yǔ)從句。五、改錯(cuò)(本題共12題，每題1.0分，共12分。)—Readthisreportaboutthelimitedcompany.—Inmostofthelines34～35thereisoneextraword.Itiseithergrammaticallyincorrectordoesnotfitinwiththemeaningofthetext.Somelines,however,arecorrect.—Ifalineiscorrect,writeCORRECTonyourAnswerSheet.—Ifthereisanextrawordintheline,writetheextrawordinCAPITALLETTERSonyourAnswerSheet.WhatIsAnLimitedCompanyWhenalimitedcompanyhasstartedfortrading,youdonotinvestinsharesbygivingmorecapitaltothecompany.Youbuyforthemfromoneoftheshareholders.34.Ifitisapubliclimitedcompany,sharescanbeboughtandsoldfreely,usually35.ataStockExchange.Ifthecompanyisdoingwellandpayinghighdividends,36.thenyoumightpaymorethanthefacevalueoftheshares.Ifwhatitisdoingbadly37.youmightpaylessthanthefacevalueoftheshares.ThepriceyoupayattheStock38.Exchangeforyoursharesistheirmarketvalue,ifthatthecompanyfails,itwill39.stoptradingandgointoliquidation.Thismeansthatallthecompany'spropertyand40.equipmentmustbesoldandthemoneyfromthesalewillbeusedtopayforall41.itsdebts.Theshareholdersmaylosethemoneytheypaidfortheshares.Ifthe42.companystilldoesnothaveenoughmoneytopayallitsdebts,theshareholders43.donothavetopayanymoremoney.Inotherwords,theshareholders'liabilityfor44.debtsislimitedtothevalueoftheirshares.Ontheotherhand,ifwhenyouarean45.ownerofabusiness,whichisnotlimited,whenbusinessfails,youwillgobankrupt34、—Readthisreportaboutthelimitedcompany.—Inmostofthelines34～35thereisoneextraword.Itiseithergrammaticallyincorrectordoesnotfitinwiththemeaningofthetext.Somelines,however,arecorrect.—Ifalineiscorrect,writeCORRECTonyourAnswerSheet.—Ifthereisanextrawordintheline,writetheextrawordinCAPITALLETTERSonyourAnswerSheet.WhatIsAnLimitedCompanyWhenalimitedcompanyhasstartedfortrading,youdonotinvestinsharesbygivingmorecapitaltothecompany.Youbu
