  • 第1题：

    Sydney Opera House will outlive the Guggenheim as an international architectural icon ______.

    A．because it is a global expression of cultural modernity

    B．because it is the first designed and built modern building

    C．because everyone in the world with media access knows what the Sydney Opera House looks like

    D．because it is the pioneer in accomplishing such an international architectural icon


    正确答案：D
    解析：细节题。由题干outlive the Guggenheim定位到第二段末句，这里说到悉尼剧院将比古根海姆博物馆更加流传，因为它是国际建筑的开路先锋，D“因为它是现代国际性建筑偶像的鼻祖”与此意一致。A尽管在文章中提到了，但不算是题干中提到的原因：B中的first有问题，第二段尽管提到the opera house was the single best-known modern building，但并没有说是第一；C只是在陈述悉尼歌剧院闻名的程度。

    全文翻译：现有住房的销售量在九月实现了五年多来的最高增长。但是分析家警告说不要再揣测其中的其他含义，(26)并谈到这反映了金融市场发生最新动荡之前的情况，而这会增加整个经济衰退的可能性。
    据全国房地产经纪人协会报道，从八月到九月现有住房的销售增长了5.5%，达到了经季节性调整后按年率计算的518万套——比分析家的萧条预测好很多。在未经调整的基础上，销售量比去年九月高7.8%。
    但是虽然销售量在增加，价格却持续下跌。分析家认为，目前导致华尔街20世纪30年代以来最大动荡的金融危机使得消费者信心下降、失业率上升，并在很大程度上增加了这个国家已经处于或者马上进入全面经济衰退的可能性。所有这些因素都会在未来一段时间里加剧对房地产的打击力度。
    (27)“十月，抵押申请降至六年来最低，”蒙特利尔银行资本市场的经济学家萨尔·瓜提瑞说，“这意味着，像经济的其他板块一样，房屋销售也因恶化的信贷紧缩而行情暴跌。”
    (28)很多分析人士预测：与2006年年中的高峰相比，全国范围内已经下降了18%的房价，还可能要继续下跌10%，由于大量取消抵押品赎回权的房屋被持续不断地抛向市场，这进一步压低了价格。
    全国房地产经纪人协会估计，目前35%到40%的房屋出售都是低于市场价的廉价出售——(29)要么是取消抵押品赎回权的房屋，要么是卖空，总之，房屋的拥有者都以低于抵押的价值出售房屋。
    低于市场价的廉价出售对于像西部这些曾经红火的销售市场的价格下跌有很大影响：那些市场九月份的销售价格比一年前下跌了18.5%。
    (30)全国房地产经纪人协会的首席经济学家劳伦斯-云说，房价暴跌几近见底，希望的曙光在望。他说首先出现在加利福尼亚的房屋销售好转的趋势正开始扩展到包括科罗拉多州、堪萨斯州、明尼苏达州、密苏里州和罗得岛州的本国其他地区。

    判断题
    The French economy was quite strong and the French were even outpacing their American rivals for a time in the spring.
    A

    对

    B

    错


    正确答案： 对
    解析：
    录音中首先指出在春天的时候法国经济看起来生机勃勃（sprightly），接着提到“…it seemed as if the French were even outpacing their American rivals…”以及“Subsequent data revisions…dispelled that illusion”，可见法国经济似乎赶超美国只是表象而已，因此题干有误。
    【录音原文】
    Buoyed by higher house prices and a consumer splurge, the French economy was looking quite sprightly in the spring. Indeed, at one point, it seemed as if the French were even outpacing their American rivals. Subsequent data revisions—downwards in France, upwards in America—dispelled that illusion. And figures for the third quarter have punctured French delusions of growth altogether. The French economy crawled along at an annual pace of just 0.4% between July and September.
