3.解答概括大意题：
A Growth of Economy
B “Servant(仆人)” Economy

1.Paragraph 2___
2 Britain specializes in (专攻，擅长于)the gift (才能)of talking The nation doesn′t manufacture much of anything.But it has lawyers，stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk， talk and more talk.The World Foundation think tank says the UK′s four iconic jobs today are not scientists，engineers，teachers and nurses.Instead，they′re hairdressers， celebrities， management consultants and managers.But(但是) can all this talking(谈论) keep the British economy going？ The British government(政府) thinks it can.
1.E. talk 这个词也在段落中多次出现， 出现了5次， 而且几乎在贯穿整个段落出现， 因此是段落主题词， 因此E或F可能是答案。 段首句及段尾句均与E相关， 意义一致， 因此E是答案。从段落具体内容上看：第二段的第一个句子说“英国的特长是有说话的天赋”。接下来就是具体说明说话天赋在经济中的表现方面。当然，作者最后对这些说话行业能否保持英国经济的运转提出了疑问。但是其主题思想仍然是在讲说话天赋。
A Growth of Economy
B “Servant(仆人)” Economy
C Strength(力气， 实力) of the Creative(创造性的) Economy
D Weakness (弱点)of the Creative Economy
F Export(出口)of Talking Machines(留声机)

3 Although the country′s trade deficit was more than ￡ 60 billion in 2006，UK′s largest in the postwar period，officials say the country has nothing to worry about.In fact，Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical industry‚and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad.It also trades services-accountancy，insurance，banking and advertising.The government(政府) believes(相信) Britain is on the cutting edge of (在。。。的边缘)the knowledge(知识， 了解) economy.After all(毕竟)，the country of Shakespeare(莎士比亚) and Wordsworth(沃兹沃斯) has a literary(文学的) tradition(传统) of which to be proud(以。。。为自豪)。Rock‘n’roll is an English language medium，and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands.In other words(换句话说)，the creative (创造性的)economy has plenty of(大量的)strength(实力) to carry (携带，运输， 支持)the British economy.
2.C 。 段尾句是该段主题句。该段说：英国是著名作家Shakespeare和Wordsworth的故乡，他们以及英国的摇滚乐团创造了大量的精神财富，也为英国赚得了大量的钱，显示了创造性经济的力量。由此也可看出C是答案。
提示：段落主题词出现的句子可能是段落主题句或直接与段落主题相关。
A Growth of Economy
B “Servant(仆人)” Economy
D Weakness (弱点)of the Creative Economy
F Export(出口)of Talking Machines(留声机)

3.D. 第四段的第二个句子是段落主题句(权威机构的观点)，该句讲述“创造行业的弱点， 很难盈利”， 因此D是答案。
