第16题：
Reading Comprehension
Directions:There are two passages iⅡthis part． Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D．You should decide on the best choice．
Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:
Passage One
The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them．
The reality is very different．Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act,many of them still get paid less than men．
They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider．And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children．
All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's Women's Unite．
The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories．It is a sort of work women do．Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who do them．
Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies,and child care helpers． Not a lot of men among that group, are there?
Yet some of those jobs are really important．Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start．
So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women．
This is not going to be put right overnight． But the Government which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start．
It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century but still treat women as second-class citizens．
Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as Men( )．
A． after 25 years
B． according to the law
C． as a result of the Equal Pay Act
D． because women are as strong as men
正确答案：B
B[解析]根据the Equal Pay Act应该做到男女平等，C选项错在并不是因为the Equal Pay Act的结果。所以答案选B。 -
第17题：
PartA 2. The National Association of Securities Dealers is investigating whether some brokerage
houses are inappropriately pushing individuals to borrow large sums on their houses
to invest in the stock market. Can we persuade the association to investigate would-be privatizers of Social Security? For it is now apparent that the Bush administration’s privatization proposal will amount to the same thing: borrow trillions, put the
money in the stock market and hope.
Privatization would begin by diverting payroll taxes, which pay for current Social
Security benefits, into personal investment accounts. The government would
have to borrow to make up the shortfall. This would sharply increase the government’s debt. “Never mind”, privatization advocates say, “in the long run, people would
make so much on personal accounts that the government could save money by cutting retirees’
benefits.Even so, if personal investment accounts were invested in Treasury bonds,
this whole process would accomplish precisely nothing. The interest workers would receive on,
their accounts would exactly match the interest the government would
have to pay on its additional debt. To compensate for the initial borrowing,
the government would have to cut future benefits so much that workers would gain nothing at all.
However, privatizersclaim that these investments would make a lot of
money and that, in effect, the government, not the workers, would reap most of those gains,
because as personal accounts grew, the government could cut benefits.
We can argue at length about whether the high stock returns such schemes assume are realistic
(they arent), but lets cut to the chase: in essence, such schemes
involve having the government borrow heavily and put the money in the stock market. That’s because the government would, in effect, confiscate workers’gains in their personal accounts by cutting those workers’ benefits.
Once you realize whatprivatization really means, it doesn’t sound too responsible, does it? But the details make it considerably worse. First,
financial markets would, correctly, treat the reality of huge deficits today as a much more
important indicator of the governments fiscal health than the mere promise that government could save money by
cutting benefits in the distant future. After all, a government bond is a legally binding
promise to pay, while a benefits formula that supposedly cuts costs 40 years from now is nothing
more than a suggestion to future Congresses.
If a privatization plan passed in 2005 called for steep benefit cuts in 2045,
what are the odds that those cuts would really happen? Second,
a system of personal accounts would pay huge brokerage fees. Of course, from Wall Street’s point of view that’s a benefit, not a cost.
第26题：According to the author, “privatizers”are those_____.
[A] borrowing from banks to invest in the stock market [B] who invest in Treasury bonds
[C] advocating the government to borrow money from citizens [D] who earn large sums of money in personal
accounts
正确答案：C

第18题：
_________ ministers decide to instigate an inquiry, we welcome it．
A.Should ．．． would
B.Suppose ．．． could
C.If．．． would
D.Would ．．． will答案：A解析：考查虚拟条件句的倒装。句意为“如果部长们决定发起一次调查，我们会表示欢迎”。在虚拟条件句中，如果谓语部分有were、had或should时，可将它们置于句首，省略if，变成部分倒装句。该句可还原为“If ministers shoulddecide to instigate allinquiry，wewouldwelcomeit．”。 -

A:.lost
B:.had lost
C:.will lose
D:.would lose答案：D解析：从后文可知，本句是条件从句，条件从句应当由if引导。
从货款这个概念应当推断出，应当是归还，而不是存储或者发现。
本句前一部分和后一部分是因果关系，应当用because引导这个从句，because of后面跟的是名词或名词性短语，而不是从句。
我们从整个句子的语态来看，本句是虚拟语气，应当选D。此外，根据前一部分“the band would soon be unable to meet withdrawals”中的语态，我们也能做出相应的判断。
call on意为“号召，呼吁”;call for意为“要求，提倡”;call off意为“放弃，取消”; call in意为“召回，收回”。根据题意，银行应当采取相应的收回货款的措施，因此选D。
reach peak是固定用法，例如：Sales have reached a new peak. 销售额已达到新高。
不定式符号to后面跟动词原形，所以选择C。
表达“对于……有信心”应当用介词in，即confidence in(后接名词，表示对……有信心），例如：She lacks confidence in herself．她缺乏自信心。
这里应当用指示代词来组成一个名词词组，并不是构成一个从句，并且后面跟同位语短语，所以选B。
upto意为“达……之多”，符合题意。“as many as”用于可数名词前，如果选项中有“as mucn as”，则也是正确的，因为钱是不可数名词。
has已经提示了此处应当用动词的过去分词形式表达现在完成时语态。
根据上下文，此处是指自从建立了保险制度以来，银行破产的个案是减少了，而不是增加或者消失。
根据上下文，此处表达否定意思“不再”，所以选C。
be/become concerned about意为“担心；担忧；挂念”，例如：We're rather concerned a- bout father's health．我们相当担心父亲的健康。be/become concerned in sth．意为“和某 事有牵连”。be/become concerned with意为“牵涉，与……有关，参与”。
根据上下文，此处表达“可能性”之意，所以选择possibility。 -

单选题Much as ______ I couldn’t lend him the money because I simply didn’t have that much spare cash.AI would have liked to
BI would like to have
CI should have to like
DI should have liked to
正确答案： B解析：
尽管我愿意帮忙，但我却不能借给他钱，只因为我没有那么多余款。would like to do sth想要做某事，愿意做某事，主句为过去时态，故使用would have like to。B项have的位置不正确；C项D项中的should表示“本应该做某事”，与语境不符合。 -
第23题：
单选题Shadow chancellor George Osborne holds that ______.ALondon is not capable of hosting the summit
BLord Myners should not have signed off Sir Fred Goodwin’s pension
Cthere was no “common ground” on the G20
Dthe UK government’s entire economic strategy has fallen apart
正确答案： A解析：
题目问的是：影子大臣乔治·奥斯本持有什么观点？文章第14段提到“He said the UK government would have ‘more credibility’... if the prime minister had sacked Lord Myners accused of signing off RBS bank boss Sir Fred Goodwin’s ￡703,000 pension.”，表述了如果首相解雇麦纳斯勋爵，指控他签收苏格兰皇家银行老大弗雷德·古德温703,000英镑的津贴，英国政府就应该在银行家的奖金和离岸避税上更具公信力。由此可得乔治·奥斯本认为麦纳斯不应该签署弗雷德·古德温的退休金。故选B。
