B、infinancialdifficulties

C、dependentontheirparents

D、troubledbycreditcarddebt

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞匯題。短文第一段最后一句指出…increasingnumbersofparents

andgrandparentshelpingouttheirstrappedadultchildrenandgrandkids…父母幫助有困

難的成年子女，接著根據(jù)下文父母提供的具體幫助：homedownpayments,crcdit-

cardbailoutsandsparecash可知，strappedadult指的是在經(jīng)濟(jì)上有困難的人。故答

案選B。

2^RossLevinthinksthatsometimes,itisnotagreatideathat.

D、parentshelpouttheiradultchildren

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。由題干可定位至短文第二段第二句。聯(lián)系上下文可判斷出

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C:

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。短文第三段最后一句指出manyparentshavecoughedup

somethings即嬰兒潮那一代的人比他們的孩子更有錢，失業(yè)率也比20多歲的人

低。故答案為C。

C、youngpeopleshouldbeindependent

D、parentsshouldhelpouttheiradultkids

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。眼據(jù)文章最后一段Shereshewsky說(shuō)的話''Youshouldgive

whileyou^eyoung…”及后面他幫助他孩子買房這件事可知，Shereshewsky認(rèn)為父母

應(yīng)該給子女提供幫助。故選D。

D、anewfactorycancostmillionsotpoundstoconstruct

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

needcashfornewdevelopmentsorexpansionfarinexcessof…即大型企業(yè)借款的目的

是擴(kuò)大發(fā)展。故選C。

8、Whichofthefollowinghasthesamemeaningwith"reserves"(Line7,Para.2)?

A^Savings.

B、Means.

C、Jewelry.

D、Content.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

metfromprofitsearnedinotherpartsofthebusinessorfromreservesbuiltupfrom

profitseamedinpastyears.聯(lián)泰上下文并分析語(yǔ)義可知.reserves在此癥的含義應(yīng)

D、thebankcanprovideshort-termmoneyforthelargebusiness

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D「

providesufficientcashonapermanentbasisforlong-termprojects,thoughtheywill

provideshort-tcrmfinance可知銀行會(huì)為大公司提供短期貸款，卻不大情愿九公司的

長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)規(guī)劃提供長(zhǎng)期的現(xiàn)金貸款。由此可知，選項(xiàng)D正確。

A、Wearinguniformshasbothadvantagesanddisadvantages.

Wearinguniformsshouldbepromotedstrongly.

C、Wearinguniformswilldestroyeconomy.

D^Wearinguniformshasmanynegativeeffects.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。文章第一段就表明了短文大意。通讀全文可以發(fā)現(xiàn)全篇說(shuō)的

都是穿制服的缺點(diǎn)。故選項(xiàng)D正確。

12>Accordingtotheauthor,ifapersonwearsauniform,hewilllosehis.

A、importance

B、meaning

C、sell-value

D、pride

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。短文第一段最后指出Theindividualinauniformlosesallself-

worth.即穿制服就會(huì)喪失所有的自我價(jià)值。故選項(xiàng)C正確。

13、Intheauthor,sopinion,whichisthemostimportantthing?

A、Society.

BNIndividuality.

C、One'simage.

D、Dignity.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。作者在短文第二段第二句指出Whatcouldbemoreimportant

thantheindividualhimself?疑問(wèn)句表達(dá)最高級(jí)，即人的自我個(gè)性individuality最重

要。故選B。

14>Theunderlinedword"incentive"inparagraph2inprobablymeans.

A^efforts

B、motivation

C、skills

D、attempts

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞匯題。聯(lián)系上下文，可知其含義應(yīng)指“動(dòng)機(jī)”。故選項(xiàng)B正確。

15、Thewriter'sattitudeofthispassageisapparently

A、disapproved

B、positive

C>pessimistic

D^sarcastic

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案:A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：態(tài)度題?？v觀全文可看出作者一直都在批評(píng)制服。最后一段也是在列

舉制服對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)造成的危害。故可知作者持反對(duì)態(tài)度，所以選項(xiàng)A正確。

D、thatshouldbereplacedbyotherformsofmoney

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案，R

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。短文第一段最后指出Toeconomisls,goldisnowjust

anothercommodity.即對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家來(lái)說(shuō)，黃金只是另一種商品。故答案為B。

17、Accordingtotheauthor,oneofthereasonsfortherisingofgoldpriceis.

A、theincreasingdemandforgold

B、thedepreciationoftheeuro

C>thelinkbetweenthedollarandgold

D、theincrementofthevalueofthedollar

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。作者在短文第二段最后一句提出Arisingpriceofgold,like

thatofanylhingelse,canreflectanincreaseindemandaswellasadepreciationofits

unitofaccount.即他認(rèn)為，金價(jià)上漲有兩個(gè)主要原因：對(duì)黃金需親的增加；金價(jià)用

美元表示，而美元貶值了。故答案為A。

18、Wecaninferfromthethirdparagraphthat.

貶值獲得了不少好處。故選B。

19>Thephrase"rippedup"（Line1,Para.5）mostprobablymeans.

A、strengthened

B、broadened

C、renegotiated

D、tomup

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞匯題。由題干可定位至第五段第一句Ifthepneeotgoldmarches

higher,thisagreementwillpresumablyberippedup...，聯(lián)系上卜文并分析語(yǔ)義可

知，rippedup在此處應(yīng)指“撕毀協(xié)議”。故答案為D。

20Accordingtothepassage,theriseofgoldprice.

A、willnotlastlong

C、willimpelcentralbankstoswitchintopapermoney

D、willleadtoadollarcrisis

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析:推斷題。短文第四段指出…centralbanks,whichwouldliketosell

someofthegoldtheyalreadyhave…即在許多買家大量買入黃金的同時(shí)。許多央行卻

打算將他們囤積的黃金出售；第五段開(kāi)頭指出Ifthepriceofgoldmarcheshigher,

thisagreementwillpresumablyberippedup...即如果金價(jià)繼續(xù)上漲.各國(guó)央行之間的

“限制和協(xié)調(diào)未來(lái)黃金銷售”的協(xié)議將會(huì)被打破。由比可知，金價(jià)的上漲會(huì)吸引各國(guó)

央行出售黃金。故選及

1、Accordingtotheauthor,yourjob-huntingplanhadbetterbeasaspossible.

A、random

B、clear

C、fixed

D、complex

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。第2段第3句是一個(gè)表示對(duì)比的句子，表明了找工作應(yīng)

該specific,而不應(yīng)該random,由此可確定B是正確選項(xiàng)。本題較具干擾性的是選

項(xiàng)C,但是specific（明確的）并不表示找工作的計(jì)劃應(yīng)該fixed（不能改變），而且

fixed與第2句中的compromise（折中）表達(dá)的意思矛盾，因此選項(xiàng)C不正確。

2、The"searchfirms"aremostprobably.

A^companiesthathavevacantpostsavailable

B、companiesthatsupplywebsite-searchservice

C、companiesthatprovidejob-huntingservice

D^companiesthatstudyjobmarketandemploymentrate

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)詞析：詞義推斷題。本題可用排除法通過(guò)對(duì)比得出正確答案。文中第3段第

2句列舉了安排面試的方法，選項(xiàng)A其實(shí)與該句第三個(gè)方法中的companies所指--

致；選項(xiàng)B與句中最后兩個(gè)方法重疊了：選項(xiàng)D根本不能表達(dá)search的意思；所

以只有C是正確的。

3、Whenhuntingajob,you'dbettercommunicatewithpeopleonalevelaboveyou

because.

A、theywillhireyousoon

B、theywillasksomeonetohireyou

C、youwillbenefitfromtheirfame

D^youcanlearnfromthem

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。本題考查復(fù)合句的理解。從倒數(shù)第2段第3句的定語(yǔ)從

句可見(jiàn)，和高一層次的人物交談，主要是因?yàn)樗麄兙哂心闼痪邆涞膇nsights,由

此可推斷出和他們交談可以向他們學(xué)習(xí)，即選項(xiàng)D。選項(xiàng)A和B中因?yàn)橛衕ire一

詞，因此看起來(lái)與原文有相似之處，但是選項(xiàng)A和B中的will表示的語(yǔ)氣過(guò)于絕

對(duì)，與原文中beinagoodposition（易于）不相符。

4、Asindicatedinthepassage,inordertogetasuitablejob,youshould.

A、alwayskeepanoptimisticspirit

B、mainlyfocusonafull-timejob

C、applytoronejobatonetime

D、followotherpeople'sfbotsteps

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)A是對(duì)文章末段第1句和最后一句中的

confidence,persistent和positively等說(shuō)法的近義替換。最具干擾性的是選項(xiàng)B,該

選項(xiàng)與文中東5段"Mak?ityourfull-limejob.”在字面上很相近，但是該句的意思

并不是建議找一份全職的工作，而是說(shuō)要把求職當(dāng)作一份工作那樣認(rèn)真對(duì)待。

5、Whafsthebesttitlefbrthispassage?

A、InterviewStrategies.

B、InterviewCeremony.

C、Job-huntingExperience.

D^Job-huntingStrategies.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨大意題。文章開(kāi)頭第1句即點(diǎn)明全文中心——想找到理想的工

作，請(qǐng)嘗試以下的策略；接著文中每一段分別指出了一條策略，每一條都用簡(jiǎn)潔的

祈使句句式表達(dá)，使讀者對(duì)文章要點(diǎn)一目了然。本題最具干擾性的是選項(xiàng)A,文章

的前半部分都是與interview有關(guān)的，但是interview的策略也只是文章的部分內(nèi)

容,而不能概括全文，因此A不正確°

A、demonstratehiscapability

B、givehisbossagoodimpression

C、askfbrasmuchmoneyashecan

D、askforthesalaryhehopestoget

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D'

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第1句。開(kāi)頭立論：“Itiseasiertonegotiate

initialsalaryrequirement在進(jìn)入公司以前就談妥你的最初工資要求要更容易些”。因

此，在接受一份工作前應(yīng)該先提出期望薪金要求，即D。注意C中asmuch...ashe

can意思太絕對(duì)，不妥。

A、Prejudiceagainstwomenstillexistsinsomeorganizations.

B、Ifpeoplewantwhattheydeserve,theyhavetoaskforit.

C、Peopleshouldnotbecontentwithwhattheyhavegot

D、Peopleshouldbecarefulwhennegotiatingforajob.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。Beth的故事是為了證明第1段提出的觀點(diǎn)，主要依據(jù)

第2段第1句，第3段最后一句再次印證。核心詞為askfor。

8、Wecanlearnfromthepassagethat.

A、unfairnessexistsinsalaryincreases

B、mostpeoplearcoverworkedandunderpaid

C、oneshouldavoidoverstatingone'sperfbnnance

D、mostorganizationsgivetheirstaffautomaticpayraises

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。從Beth的故事中不難總結(jié)出：如果你要求加薪或提

升，你可能就會(huì)得到滿足；你如果不要求，老板就可能不予考慮。因此在salary

increase中含有很大的主觀因素，故而unfair。直接依據(jù)為第3段第I句。

9、Togetapayraise,apersonshould.

A、advertisehimselfonthejobmarket

B、persuadehisbosstosignalong-termcontract

C、trytogetinsideinformationabouttheorganization

D、dosomethingtoimpresshisbossjustbeforemeritpaydecisions

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第3段，performance”工作表現(xiàn)"，timing“抓住

時(shí)機(jī)''和information“利用信息”是加薪的三大籌碼。D與其中對(duì)timing的闡述一

致。

A、meethisbossattheappropriatetime

B、arriveatthenegotiationtablepunctually

C、begoodatinlluencingtheoutcomeoftheinteraction

D、befamiliarwithwhatthebosslikesanddislikes

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。最后一段指出，帶著準(zhǔn)備好的籌碼去跟老板商談加薪，

并在合適的時(shí)候拿出來(lái)，而且要運(yùn)用一定的交際手段引導(dǎo)談判的發(fā)展方向，即C。

注意其中placeyourchipsonthetabicattheappropriatetime”在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候拿出籌碼”

不等于A中的meethisbossattheappropriatetime0
