参考答案和解析
录音开头提到“没有任何文件是安全的了，伪造曾经是熟练使用昂贵雕刻和印刷设备的骗子的领域，自从desktop-publishing systems下降后，伪造已成为了主流现象”，因此选项B符合录音内容。
【录音原文】
No document is safe any more. Counterfeiting, once the domain of skilled crooks who used expensive engraving and printing equipment, has gone mainstream since the price of desktop-publishing systems has dropped. Virtually any kind of paper can be forged, including cheques, banknotes, stock and bond certificates, passports and security cards. For currency alone, millions of dollars in counterfeit banknotes make their way into circulation each year, and 40% of the counterfeits seized this year were digitally produced, compared with 1% a decade ago.

第4题：
Text 4 A US drug company has increased the price of an acne cream by more than 3,900%to$9,561 in less than 18 months in the latest example of drug"price cheating",which has enraged the American public and become a central topic of debate in the presidential election campaign.Novum Pharma,a recently formed privately held Chicago-based company,bought the rights to drug Aloquin in May 2015.The 60g cream,which contains two cheap ingredients,was sold by its previous owner,Primus Pharmaceuticals,for$241.50.Nowm almost immediately increased the price by l,100%,and hiked the price higher still in January 2016.Figures seen by the Financial 77mes show the company increased the price a third time last week to take the cost to$9,561.So-called"price cheating",in which companies buy the rights to older drugs and then vastly increase their cost,has provoked outrage across the country and led to calls for reform of the US healthcare system.Earlier this month,Hillary Clinton claimed"It's time to move beyond talking about these price hikes and start acting to address them.AlI Americans deserve full access to the medications they need-without being burdened by excessive,unjustified costs."Clinton said she would change the law to allow the"emergency importation"of safe altemative treatments from abroad.Aloquin contains two cheap active ingredients:a decades-old antibiotic,iodoquinol,and an extract from the aloe vera plant.Iodoquinol can be bought for as little as$30 a tube and aloe vera cream costs a few dollars.The drug is labelled as"possibly effective",as the US Food and Drug Administration has stated that there is only limited evidence that the drug is effective.Novum has also drastically increased the price of its other two skin creams,Alcortin A and Novacort.The drugs are prescription only,with the cost being mostly covered by health insurance or government assistance.In instances when the full cost of the treatment isn't covered by insurance,Novum provides coupons to reduce the proportion that patients have to pay,while collecting the rest from the health plan.The company,which is privately held and does not publish figures on sales or profits,did not reply to requests for comment.A spokesman told the public that the firm was founded by"a group oflike-minded investors who believe in the firm's focus ofproviding therapeutic innovations that are affordable for patients".
The price of the Aloquin is considered as cheating for____.A.the price has been raised for many times
B.patients cannot get access to medicines they need
C.the increase ofthe price has been dramatic
D.the drug is not effective at all答案：C解析：推理判断题。根据定位词定位到第三段。该段中提到了“price cheating”（“价格欺骗”），即“公司买下之前药品的生产权，之后大幅提升其价格”，所以Aloquin的定价被认为是欺骗，原因是之前药品价格很低，之后售价急剧上升，故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】价格被提高多次并不是问题，主要问题在于价格上升了3 900%，故A项错误；该公司药品价格升高，但文中并没有提到患者不能获得这些药品，所以B项错误；第六段提到，药品被认为“可能有效”，并不是说药品完全无效．D项错误。 -

BThe American economy has rebounded.
CJapan’s economy has not bottomed out yet.
DThe performance of many economies in Latin America is less than expected.
正确答案： B解析：
从录音中提到的“Not only has the American economy rebounded…”，可知美国经济反弹了，即开始发展，因此选B。
【录音原文】
Stockmarkets are sliding again; the gold price this week hit a seven-year high of $400 an ounce; and the dollar slumped to a new low against the euro. “So what’s new?” you might ask: the world economy clearly remains fragile. What is new, however, is the recent batch of better-than-expected figures on economic growth around the globe. Not only has the American economy rebounded, but Japan and the euro area are also now growing again, albeit more slowly. The news from some emerging economies is even more bullish. Many economies in Asia and Latin America enjoyed their fastest growth for years in the third quarter. Adding it all together, the world economy as a whole probably enjoyed its fastest growth for two decades. So why are the financial markets showing lack of confidence? -

【录音原文】
In several metropolitan areas, from Miami to Riverside, Calif., where the real estate market is white hot, rapidly rising prices are luring a growing number of ordinary people into buying and selling residences they do not intend to occupy, despite warnings from some economists that prices cannot continue to rise as steeply as they have in the last few years. -
