_________(51)
A:Because
B:While
C:Since
D:When

答案:D
解析:
由于上文说到通货膨胀是一个“阶段”,因此这里需要填写一个表示时间的关联词。本句意思是“当你用同样的钱买到的东西比以前少的时候,通货膨胀就发生了。” 因此选D。
根据句子关系和词语提示,本句上半句中的fewer可作提示词,less是lit-tie的比较形式,与fewer相配。下句中的“your money buys less”是更直接的提示。因此选D。
根据词语搭配和上下文线索提示。介词in与相应的名词搭配使用表示 “在……方面增长或减少”。本段第二句有类似的表达that causes rapid rises in prices。
根据上下文意思和词语逻辑,这里需要一个表示“最大”含义的词。本句意思为“依赖固定收入的人受影响最大”。因此选C。
根据词语习惯搭配。meet one's needs满足需要。本句意思是“不再工作的老年人在通货膨胀时期要想靠工资满足需求”。因此选A。
根据句子的逻辑。retirement income属于fixed income, or连接两个前后表达属于同类范畴的词。本句意思是“退休金和其他固定的收入通常没有物价上涨得快”。因此选A。
根据上下文含义和句子逻辑,本句需要填一个表示“跟上”的词,因此要选keep up with。本句意思是“很多退休的人必须削减一些开支来跟上上涨的物价”。因此选D。
根据上下文意思和词语用法,stop后面接动名词表示“不再做某事”,这句话的意思是“很多情况下他们不再买一些生活必需品”。因此选B。
根据语法逻辑,本句是状语部分前置,正常语序是:Inflation can be a problem even for working people whose incomes are going up.for指“对于……来说”。本句意思是 “甚至对于那些有工作,工资在上涨的人来说,通货膨胀也是一个问题”。
根据词语搭配和上下文意思,选cost成本,本句意思是“生活成本上升了,工作的人们必须花更多的钱来保证自己的生活质量”。
keep pace with指“跟上”,与keep up with同义。本句意思是“当工资和物价上涨不同步时,生活质量就下降”。因此选B。
此空填的是由from加which引导的定语从句,本句意思是“政府机构收集经济生活中的价格信息,将它发布成为消费指数,通过这样,比率的变化就可以确定”。因此选B。
given在这里指“给定的、一定的”,符合题目要求。本句意思是“通过将特定的某一年的价格作为基数就可以衡量物价的变化”。
根据词语搭配和上下文线索选percentage百分比。本句意思是“其他物价按照这个基数变为一个百分比数字”。
根据语法原则选it。 it在这里是形式宾语,代替不定式to compare current prices of typical consumer goods with prices of the same goods in previous years。本句意思是“消费指数能够将某种商品的目前价格与往年的做比较”。

第3题:

—But why is it so much higher in this market? — ()

A.I don’t think I can follow the course.

B.Sometimes things don’t go as expected.

第5题:

资料:According to our research, Best Buy in China was perceived as being too expensive, with many of their products priced higher than in local markets. Why buy a Sony DVD player or Nokia phone at Best Buy when you can pay less for the exact same product at a local store?Consumers will only be willing to pay more, like at the Apple stores, if they are buying something they cannot get elsewhere.
While scales of economy have allowed big China stores in America to offer cheaper prices than niche players, local retailers in China are able to undercut prices because they pay less in salaries, benefits, rent, and electricity. Rampant piracy in China also means local computers shops are willing to install counterfeit Microsoft software in products, which makes it more appealing for customers.
Apart from failing to differentiate its product lines, Best Buy also made the mistake of focusing on building large flagship stores, like in the U.S, rather than smaller, conveniently located retail outlets. China may have one of the highest car adoption rates in the world, but its perennial traffic congestions and lack of parking mean consumers often prefer to shop closer to their homes. A government ban on free shopping bags have also resulted in consumers shopping more often, but buying less each time, further fueling the popularity of neighborhood stores.

What is the most likely content the speaker discussed before these three paragraphs?
Best Buy's failure in China.

B.Chinese local retailers' reason for success.
C.Overseas retailers' struggle in the Chinese market.
D.The development of retail industry in China.

答案:A
解析:
本题考查的是推理判断。
【关键词】most likely content; discussed before these three paragraphs
【主题句】第1自然段 According to our research, Best Buy in China was perceived as being too expensive, with many of their products priced higher than in local markets. 根据我们的研究,中国的百思买被认为太贵了,他们的许多产品的价格都高于当地市场。
第3自然段 Apart from failing to differentiate its product lines, Best Buy also made the mistake of focusing on building large flagship stores, like in the U.S, rather than smaller, conveniently located retail outlets.除了未能对其产品线进行区分之外,百思买也犯了一个错误,即效仿美国专注于建设大型旗舰店,而不是打造更小巧、更便利的零售商店。
【解析】题干意为“在这三段之前,作者最有可能讨论的内容是什么?” 根据主题句可知,本文主要内容是百思买为什么在中国失败,因此在这之前可能讨论的内容是百思买在中国的失败,故选A。选项B意为“中国本土零售商成功原因”,选项C意为“海外的零售商在中国的艰难境地”,涵盖的范围太广,本文未提及其他的海外零售商。选项D意为“中国零售业发展”,均与题意不符。

【主题句】第2自然段 Rampant piracy in China also means local computers shops are willing to install counterfeit Microsoft software in products, which makes it more appealing for customers.中国猖獗的盗版行为也意味着,当地的电脑商店愿意在产品中安装盗版软件,这使其对消费者更有吸引力。
第3自然段 China may have one of the highest car adoption rates in the world, but its Perennial
traffic congestions and lack of parking mean consumers often prefer to shop closer to their homes. 中国可能是世界上汽车使用率最高的国家之一,但其常年的交通拥堵和停车位不足意味着消费者往往更喜欢在离家较近的地方购物。
【解析】题干意为“以下哪一句话是错误的?”。选项A意为“中国市场需要更多的监管”,根据主题句可知,中国盗版猖獗,因而需要监管,选项A正确;选项B意为“西方零售商无法在中国市场成功”,文章只介绍了百思买的失败案例,不能推及全部零售商;选项C意为“在中国,有汽车也不一定意味着高效的旅行”,由于中国交通拥堵和停车位不足,所以根据推断选项C正确;选项D意为“要成功开展业务,更好地了解消费者的偏好很重要”,与题意相符。故选B。
