  • 第15题:

    The author raises the question “what about pain without gain?” because ________.

    [A] he questions the truth of “no gain without pain”

    [B] he does not think the productivity revolution works

    [C] he wonders if the official statistics are misleading

    [D] he has conclusive evidence for the revival of businesses


    正确答案:B
    48. [B] 意为:他认为所谓的生产率革命并未奏效。
       第一段指出,人们常说:不劳则无所获,但是,要是劳而无获呢?美国到处都在谈论所谓公司的振兴,但是,商界自认为正在进行的所谓生产率革命究竟是否名符其实,这一点却很难确定。作者的观点在此其实已表达得很清楚。
       另外,从第三段来看,所谓的生产率革命包括了改组企业(business restructuring, reengineering)等一系列措施,正如第四段所指出的,近年所进行的一些重组措施也许并未奏效,而且,即使有所成效,效果也没有人们想像的那样广泛。在最后一段,作者引用了几个专家的评价,这几位专家对目前进行的促进生产率发展的措施更是持否定态度。作者的引用当然带有很大的倾向性,用以支持自己的观点。第一段指出,人们常说:不劳则无所获,但是,要是劳而无获呢?美国到处都在谈论所谓公司的振兴,但是,商界自认为正在进行的所谓生产率革命究竟是否名符其实,这一点却很难确定。作者的观点在此其实已表达得很清楚,就
    是说所谓的生产率革命并没起多大作用。而且由其他段也可看出,现实的数据与商人们所想的存在脱节,因此他们所鼓吹的革命并不奏效。因此联系到了 B选项    A意为:他对“不劳则无所获”的真实性提出质疑。该选择项过于局限于字面意思。该选择项过于局限于字面意思,而与作者的真正用意无关。这是一个用字面意思来迷惑考生的干扰项。
       C意为:他认为官方的统计数宁可能有错。正好相反,他们认为所谓的商业振兴仅仅是假象。联系上一道题,作者并未说官方的统计数据不符合实际。如果上道题明白的话,就会第一个排除此选项的。
       D 意为:他获得了商业振兴的确凿证据。这个选项有两个大错误。首先作者压根没说商业振兴,反而在说经济情况不如想象中的好。第二个错误是所谓的确凿证据无从说起。文章中所有的例证都是在说明“脱节”这个问题,而不是在说什么商业振兴。

  • 第17题:

    The policemen acted quickly because lives were at stake.

    A:in danger
    B:in difficulty
    C:in despair
    D:out of control

    答案:A
    解析:
    本句意思:警方迅速展开行动,因为有生命处于险境。短语in danger意思为“处于危险 之中”,与at stake(在危急关头,在危险中)意思接近。短语in difficulty为错误搭配;in despair意 思为“在绝望之中”;out of control意思为“失控”。

    The earliest immigrants were the Spanish,who settled in the southern part of what is now the US.The next large group were the English,after the English came the French,Dutch,Irish,Germans,and other nationality groups,mostly European.

    A.than
    B.less than
    C.the same as
    D.no less than

    答案:A
    解析:
    考情点拨:句法结构题。前面有faster,为比较级,后面肯定与than连用。the same as不可能与比较级连用。less than“少于”和no less than“不少于”。其中less为比较级,与faster重复,故选A。
