2012-11-13  来自于:课评集

  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.Paragraph 4___

  4 However(然而), creative industries account for(占, 解释) only(仅仅) about 4 percent(百分数) of UK′s exports of goods(商品) and services(服务).The industries(行业,工业) are finding(发现)it hard(困难得, 硬的) to make a profit(盈利),according to(根据) a report(报告) of the National(国家的,民族的) Endowment(基金会) for Science(科学),Technology(技术) and the Arts(艺术)。 The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in "innovation activities",3 percentage points below the EU average and well below Germany(61 percent)and Sweden(47 percent).

  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。

  提示:通常出现在段落开头部分或结尾部分的权威机构/权威人士的观点/发言/研究发现往往直接揭示段落主题。

  A Growth of Economy

  B “Servant(仆人)” Economy

  F Export(出口)of Talking Machines(留声机)

  4.Paragraph 5___

  5 In fact(实事上),it might be better(更好的) to call(称呼) Britain a “servant”economy-there are at least (至少)4 million(百万) people“in service(作帮工, 在军中服役)”.The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook,clean, and take care of their children.Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree.Most employment growth has been,and will continue to be,at the low-skill end of the service sector-in shops,bars,hotels,domestic service and in nursing and care homes.

  4.B. 第四段的第一个句子是主题句:In fact,it might be better to call Britain a “servant” economy-there are at least 4 million people“in service”.该句说“实际上,把英国的经济叫做服务经济更恰当一些一因为至少有四百万人在做服务性工作”。因此选B.
