    _________(51)
    A:however
    B:furthermore
    C:similarly
    D:therefore

    答案：D
    解析：
    文章前一句给出了生活水平的定义，此处需要一个承上启下的词。however表示含义的转折。furthermore意为“此外、而且”，表示意义的递进。similarly意为“相似地”。 therefore意为“因此”，表示因果关系。这部分是说由于任何一个国家的“生活水平”是指平均每个人所得到的这个国家生产出的商品和服务量，因此，一个国家的生活水平首先并且最重要的是依靠其创造财富的能力。选择D项最合适。
    first and foremost是固定搭配，意思是“首要的、第一的”，因此选择C项。
    该空前面是否定句，联系前后文，意思是我们不是依赖金钱生活，而是依赖金钱所购买的东西生活。只有not...but有“不是······而是”的意思，因此选项B是正确的。
    此空指代的是前面的many factors , these和that都指代不清，所以需要一个引导非限制性定语从句的关联词，只有which合适，因此选择D项。
    此处许多人可能会认为depend on是固定搭配，意思是“依靠”，但实际上介词upon出现后面，中间插入了短语to a great extent。因此此处只能选B。
    本句是介词短语放在句首的倒装句，主语在空的后面即“ability”，所以这里缺的是谓语动词，第三人称单数只能用comes。
    as...as即“像······一样”，是固定搭配短语。本句意思是“一些国家拥有和美国一样丰富的自然资源”。因此只有D项是正确的。
    for...reason是固定搭配短语，意思是“由于······原因”。本句意思是“由于多年的内外战争和这样那样的原因不能开发它的资源”。因此选项B是正确的。
    根据上下文我们知道这里说的是某些国家无法开采自己的资源。uneasy 意为“不稳定的、不舒服的”。incapable意为“无能力的”，固定搭配是be incapable of doing , im-possible意为“不可能的”。unable意为“不能的”，固定搭配是be unable to do。因为后面有不定式to，因此只能选择D项。
    本句意思是“完善的、稳定的政府以及从外国入侵中解放出来······”。先排除掉prevention。 freedom意为“自由”。 liberation意为“解放”，一般与介词from搭配。liberty“自由、释放”，常与介词of搭配。选项C是正确的。
    本句意思是“一个国家的生活水平不仅仅依赖本国生产和消费的财富”。表示“边界内”，我们常用短语within the border，其他几个介词都不合适。
    这里需要一个能连接上下文的短语，前一句讲的是国际贸易也是生活水平依赖的一部分，后面以英国为例进行说明因此只有选项D合适。in short意为“总之”; as a result意为“结果是”; on the other hand意为“另一方面”。
    此空后面是一个过去分词短语，前面是介词on，因此这里先排除which和 what，因为不需要引导句子的关联词。此外，这里需要指代的是前面的foodstuffs和agricultural products，因此只能选择表示复数的those。
    otherwise意思是“相反地”。 certainly意为“当然地”。 however意为“然而”。 therefore意为“因此”。此处是拿缺少的东西同前面提到的生产出的多余的东西对比，因此只有otherwise最合适。
    provided that…是固定搭配，意思是“假若······”。本句意思是“如果其他国家可以接受本国的产品······”。因此只有D项最合适。

  • 第5题：

    资料： The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.
    As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
    For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor. People are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are Old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.
    Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
    Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
    At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways. First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line. Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
    Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.
    Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.

    For the time being, what is the last solution to guarantee the basic standard of living?

    A.The growing national economy
    B.The tax collections from the non-poor classes
    C.More choices of selectable job vacancies
    D.Goverrnment’s investments on the poor to improve their working skills

    答案：B
    解析：
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】last solution；guarantee；standard of living
    【主题句】倒数第二段Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. （最后，如果政府分配社会收入不同，会将一些穷人提升到贫困线之上。政府从非贫困人口中征税，把钱分给穷人。我们把这些分给穷人的费用称为福利。）
    【解析】第4题问“目前保证基本生活水平的最终办法是什么？”。根据问题里的“last solution”找到倒数第二段。该段说通过征税的方法，政府把收集上来的钱发给贫困人口，从而使他们摆脱贫困线以下的境遇，这种方法被称为福利。A选项“国民经济增长”，文章第六段出现“First, if the national economy grows”，属于第一个解决方法，和问题里的last不符，排除；B选项“来自非贫困阶级的税收”，和主题句当中的“The government collects taxes from the non－poor（政府从非贫困人口中征税）”信息一致，即为答案；C选项“更多可选择的职位”，文章第六段指出“First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers.（如果国民经济增长，工商业会雇佣更多的人）”，和C选项有更多的职位一致，但和题干里的last solution不一致；D选项“政府更多地投资穷人，提高其工作技能”，第六段“Second… If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. （第二，如果政府投资更多的钱在社会项目，教育，贫困人口培训上，穷人就会有工作能力。）”该句话和D选项一致，但属于第二个解决方法，和last solution不一致。

    _________（51）
    A:calls
    B:gets
    C:depends
    D:takes

    答案：C
    解析：
    短文中第一、二句话指出，任何国家的“生活标准”都是指人均享有的这个国家生产的 商品和服务的情况。因此一个国家的生活标准首先依赖于它能生产财富的能力。depend on 这一短语符合语意和搭配习惯。因此C是正确答案。
    in this sens。是“在这里的意义”，因此正确答案为A。相关短语in some sense“在某种意 义上，在某种程度上”。
    空格所在的句子提到的是，一个国家生产财富的能力依赖于许多囚素。只有produce 为“生产”之意，因此B为答案。
    空格处需要一个定语从句的引导词，因此只能在that和which之间选择。因为空格前 出现了介词of，因此排除that，只能选which。
    to a great extent“在很大程度上”。因此B为答案。
    空格所在的句子意思为“另外一些区域却一样也没有”。只有 possess指“拥有”。
    turn...to...“使……变为……”。因此C项是答案。
    suffer from“遭受……”。因此答案为D。
    根据上下文判断，空格处最合适的词为“原因”，因此A项为答案。
    根据下文，此处应该表示的是从外国人侵中获得解放。故选B。
    此处是指“能使一个国家和平、稳定地开发它的自然资源，创造出比另一个国家更多的 财富”。故选A。
    短文第四段第一句话提到，一个国家的生活水平不只依赖于自己国内生产和消耗的财 富。由此判断空格处为“消耗”，因此D是正确答案。
    空格所在的句子意思为“英国的食品和农产品会很少”。由此判断空格处为“产品”，因此选C。
    空格处缺少关系代词引导定语从句，并在定语从句中作主语，因此B是答案。
    provided“假如，在……条件下”，表示条件，符合题意。

  • 第7题：

    In any country, the "standard ofliving" means the average person′s share of the goods and services whichthe country produces. Therefore, a country′s standard of living depends firstand foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in thissense is not money, but "goods" such as food and clothing, and"services" such as transport and entertainment.
    The capacity to produce wealth depends uponmany factors, most of which have an effect on one another. To a great extent,wealth depends upon a country′s natural resources, such as coal, gold, andother minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are wellsupplied with coal and minerals, and some are not.
    Next to natural resources comes the abilityto turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources,but unable to develop their resources. They suffered for many years from civiland external wars. Peaceful political and stable conditions enable a country todevelop its natural resources effectively, and to produce more wealth thananother country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Anotherimportant factor is the technical efficiency of a country′s people.Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers andtechnicians produce wealth more than countries whose workers are largelyunskilled.
    A country′s standard of living does notonly depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its ownborders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade.
    For instance, Britain′s wealth isfoodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had todepend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplusmanufacture goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products. In thisaspect, a country′s wealth is much influenced by its manufacturing capacity,provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
    According to the passage, besides thecapacity of wealth production, ______play an equally important role indetermining a country′s standard of living.

    A.farm products
    B.industrial goods
    C.foodstuffs
    D.export and import

    答案：D
    解析：
    细节题。第四段第一句指出“A country’s standard of living does not only depend upon… but also upon what is indirectly produced through internationaltrade．”可知国际贸易也很重要．D选项中的进出口跟文中意思一致，故选D。

    文章前一句给出了生活水平的定义，此处需要一个承上启下的词。however表示含义的转折。furthermore意为“此外、而且”，表示意义的递进。similarly意为“相似地”。 therefore意为“因此”，表示因果关系。这部分是说由于任何一个国家的“生活水平”是指平均每个人所得到的这个国家生产出的商品和服务量，因此，一个国家的生活水平首先并且最重要的是依靠其创造财富的能力。选择D项最合适。
    first and foremost是固定搭配，意思是“首要的、第一的”，因此选择C项。
    该空前面是否定句，联系前后文，意思是我们不是依赖金钱生活，而是依赖金钱所购买的东西生活。只有not...but有“不是······而是”的意思，因此选项B是正确的。

    此处许多人可能会认为depend on是固定搭配，意思是“依靠”，但实际上介词upon出现后面，中间插入了短语to a great extent。因此此处只能选B。
    本句是介词短语放在句首的倒装句，主语在空的后面即“ability”，所以这里缺的是谓语动词，第三人称单数只能用comes。
    as...as即“像······一样”，是固定搭配短语。本句意思是“一些国家拥有和美国一样丰富的自然资源”。因此只有D项是正确的。
    for...reason是固定搭配短语，意思是“由于······原因”。本句意思是“由于多年的内外战争和这样那样的原因不能开发它的资源”。因此选项B是正确的。
    根据上下文我们知道这里说的是某些国家无法开采自己的资源。uneasy 意为“不稳定的、不舒服的”。incapable意为“无能力的”，固定搭配是be incapable of doing , im-possible意为“不可能的”。unable意为“不能的”，固定搭配是be unable to do。因为后面有不定式to，因此只能选择D项。
    本句意思是“完善的、稳定的政府以及从外国入侵中解放出来······”。先排除掉prevention。 freedom意为“自由”。 liberation意为“解放”，一般与介词from搭配。liberty“自由、释放”，常与介词of搭配。选项C是正确的。
    本句意思是“一个国家的生活水平不仅仅依赖本国生产和消费的财富”。表示“边界内”，我们常用短语within the border，其他几个介词都不合适。
    这里需要一个能连接上下文的短语，前一句讲的是国际贸易也是生活水平依赖的一部分，后面以英国为例进行说明因此只有选项D合适。in short意为“总之”; as a result意为“结果是”; on the other hand意为“另一方面”。
    此空后面是一个过去分词短语，前面是介词on，因此这里先排除which和 what，因为不需要引导句子的关联词。此外，这里需要指代的是前面的foodstuffs和agricultural products，因此只能选择表示复数的those。
    otherwise意思是“相反地”。 certainly意为“当然地”。 however意为“然而”。 therefore意为“因此”。此处是拿缺少的东西同前面提到的生产出的多余的东西对比，因此只有otherwise最合适。
    provided that…是固定搭配，意思是“假若······”。本句意思是“如果其他国家可以接受本国的产品······”。因此只有D项最合适。

    _________（55）
    A:for
    B:to
    C:in
    D:by

    答案：B
    解析：
    短文中第一、二句话指出，任何国家的“生活标准”都是指人均享有的这个国家生产的 商品和服务的情况。因此一个国家的生活标准首先依赖于它能生产财富的能力。depend on 这一短语符合语意和搭配习惯。因此C是正确答案。
    in this sens。是“在这里的意义”，因此正确答案为A。相关短语in some sense“在某种意 义上，在某种程度上”。
    空格所在的句子提到的是，一个国家生产财富的能力依赖于许多囚素。只有produce 为“生产”之意，因此B为答案。
    空格处需要一个定语从句的引导词，因此只能在that和which之间选择。因为空格前 出现了介词of，因此排除that，只能选which。
    to a great extent“在很大程度上”。因此B为答案。
    空格所在的句子意思为“另外一些区域却一样也没有”。只有 possess指“拥有”。
    turn...to...“使……变为……”。因此C项是答案。
    suffer from“遭受……”。因此答案为D。
    根据上下文判断，空格处最合适的词为“原因”，因此A项为答案。
    根据下文，此处应该表示的是从外国人侵中获得解放。故选B。
    此处是指“能使一个国家和平、稳定地开发它的自然资源，创造出比另一个国家更多的 财富”。故选A。
    短文第四段第一句话提到，一个国家的生活水平不只依赖于自己国内生产和消耗的财 富。由此判断空格处为“消耗”，因此D是正确答案。
    空格所在的句子意思为“英国的食品和农产品会很少”。由此判断空格处为“产品”，因此选C。
    空格处缺少关系代词引导定语从句，并在定语从句中作主语，因此B是答案。
    provided“假如，在……条件下”，表示条件，符合题意。

  • 第18题：

    In any country, the "standard ofliving" means the average person′s share of the goods and services whichthe country produces. Therefore, a country′s standard of living depends firstand foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in thissense is not money, but "goods" such as food and clothing, and"services" such as transport and entertainment.
    The capacity to produce wealth depends uponmany factors, most of which have an effect on one another. To a great extent,wealth depends upon a country′s natural resources, such as coal, gold, andother minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are wellsupplied with coal and minerals, and some are not.
    Next to natural resources comes the abilityto turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources,but unable to develop their resources. They suffered for many years from civiland external wars. Peaceful political and stable conditions enable a country todevelop its natural resources effectively, and to produce more wealth thananother country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Anotherimportant factor is the technical efficiency of a country′s people.Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers andtechnicians produce wealth more than countries whose workers are largelyunskilled.
    A country′s standard of living does notonly depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its ownborders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade.
    For instance, Britain′s wealth isfoodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had todepend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplusmanufacture goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products. In thisaspect, a country′s wealth is much influenced by its manufacturing capacity,provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
    The standard of living in a countryis determined by ______.

    A.its goods and services
    B.the type of wealth produced
    C.how well it can create wealth
    D.what an ordinary person can share

    答案：C
    解析：
    细节题。第一段第一句指出standardof living的定义，第二句“Therefore，a country’s standard of living depends first and foremost on its capacity toproduce wealth．”以及第三句指出什么决定了 standard of living．即决定一个国家生活标准的是这个国家创造商品和服务的能力(the capacity to produce goods and services)，故选C。

    Exports are either raw materials or manufactured goods. Raw materials are products of the land， such as cotton， timber or rubber. Some raw materials， such as iron ore， come from mines. These raw materials are often exported by the countries that produce them to other countries where they are made into manufactured goods. Some countries produce food for export， for example， meat， sugar， or cereals such as wheat and maize. These countries are agricultural countries. An agricultural country needs fertile land and a good climate. A cold， dry climate is not suitable for agriculture. A country which produces manufactured goods is known as an industrialized country. An industrialized country cannot always produce enough food for its own needs. In this case， it does not export foodstuffs. Instead it has to import them. It relies on exports of manufactured products and pays for imports with the money it earns from the exported goods. From the first sentence of the passage we can know that there are（）kinds of exports.

    Practice 1　　The catchphrase of the hour is that America is living beyond its means. The expression is used so much by politicians, economists and editorial writers that it is depreciating faster than the dollar. But there's no way around it. It tells the story. The Data Resources numbers show Americans increase their spending this year almost three times as fast as their after-tax income. What else can we explain it? What is more, as a nation, the U.S. has been doing the same thing throughout the 1990s. For years the country has been consuming more than it produces, making up the difference by borrowing abroad. It can't go on.　　The stock market's tumble, which has caused a loss of $1 trillion in paper wealth, is but the first step in a process that must sober the nation. At the same time, in the next few years the U. S. will have to throw its amazing dream machine into reverse and start paying its debts. Inevitably, this will mean a lowering in the U.S. standard of living as Americans are forced to produce more than they consume to service a soaring foreign debt. Per capital income may keep rising but more slowly than in the past. The trade account will go slowly towards balance or even surplus in the mid-1990s. But in the meantime, Americans will receive less for their exports because the dollar will fall considerably before U. S. exports are competitive. And pressures to reduce the federal deficit will tighten the lid on defense spending.

    当前美国流行的话题是:美国人过的是入不敷出的日子。政治家、经济学家和社论撰稿人喋喋不休地谈论这个话题,以致其“贬值”速度比美元还要快。但这也是没法子的事情,事实就是这样。数据资料公司的统计数字表明:今年美国人的开支比他们的税后所得增长了两倍。除了说美国人入不敷出,还能作出什么解释呢?更有甚者,美国作为一个国家在整个90年代也是如此行事。多年来,美国的消费大于生产,靠向国外借债来弥补亏空。不能让这种情况再继续下去了。
    股票市场暴跌,造成了一万亿美元的票面损失,这仅仅是足以让美国人开始清醒的第一步。而且,在今后的几年里,美国将不得不从美妙的梦想中回到现实,着手偿还债务。这不可避免地要让美国人降低生活水平,因为美国人必须多生产少消费,以此来偿还猛增的外债。人均收入可能还会继续增长,但其速度要慢于过去。贸易收支会慢慢趋于平衡,到90年代中期甚至会出现盈余。但与此同时,美国的出口收入将减少,因为在美国出口产品具有竞争力之前,美元还会大幅度下跌。而且要求削减联邦财政赤字的压力将会紧缩国防开支。
