参考答案和解析
正确答案: 1.B effectively 意为“有效地,能够产生效应地。事实上,实际上”。根据上下文只有此项可选。efficiently“有效地,效率高地”。effectually“有效地;有法律效力地;全然”。absolutely“完全地,绝对地”。
2.B 本句是承接首句“Public goods are those commodities from whose enjoyment …”继续描述公共设施应是被公众享用的,故选enjoy“享有”。下文the benefits of these commodities。若选A项,则为have the benefits“有…益处”。 concern常用be concerned with sth.“关心,关注某事。”contribute“捐献,贡献。”
3.C does not reduce 意为“不降低”。讲一般道理时用一般现在时。且根据上文,此处应是表达“一个人利用这些公共商品不应降低其他人利用它们的可能性。”
4.C anybody else’s“别的任何人的”。anybody’s“任何人的”,逻辑不通,因为任何人是指所有的人,也包括了前边提到的one person。somebody else’s“别的某个人的”,范围较小。Whoever意为“无论哪个人的”。
5.C 本文既然讲的是 Public goods,那么就应是大家享用的同一物品或设施,此句的意思是“别的任何人享有同一商品的可能性。”
6.B 此句是要举例说明公共商品的享有。用not as rare as one might expect来表示有很多这类例子。
7.C 文章首段就是在强调公共物品被所有人使用,据上文思路,此句意义应为“住在该地区的所有的人都能享有益处。”
8.B 此处强调的仍是共同享有的权利,因此用irrespective of“无论,不管”,表示:人人都能享有益处,无论他们为大坝的修建作了多大的贡献。A项应为regardless of“无论,不管”。by virtue of“依靠,由于”。Considering“鉴于,考虑到”。
9.D contribution to sth.为固定用法,表示“对…的贡献”。
10.A the same holds true for sth.“对于…来说道理同样如此”。
11.D 本句后面提到can be effectively excluded from,此处应与文章首句对应,故选no,表示“没有船只可以被排除在外”。
12.A 用any表示“任何一个”。
13.D utilization of“利用”。导航的灯塔不能享有,只能利用,因此排除A项。Sharing“分享,共同占有”。catch sight of“瞥见”。
14.D 由voted against“反对”和the protection afforded“提供的保护”可知,此处说明的是程度递进的情况,因此用even。句意:甚至一个人投票反对军费开支或不交税都可以享有保护。
15.D 并列连词前后结构相同,意义相关。or前已用了一般过去时,因此并列分句中也用此时态。
16.B 据上下文意义,应该用肯定句,排除选项C、D。could do sth.表示过去有此可能性,但往往没有做到。
17.C determine“确定”。计算成本不难,要确定哪些成本效益需要计算才是件难事,因此排除calculate“计算”。collect“收集”。investigate“调查研究”。
18.D 此题采用排除法,此处若用肯定形式,那么接下来介绍的就应是这种方法,据此排除选项A、B。若选C项,则前面应提到一种方法,故排除C项。本题答案是D项,表示“没有一种切实可行的方法”。advisable“可取的;适当的”。practicable“切实可行的”。
19.A 由上文句意以及后面的for可判断此处应选charge“收费”,charge sb. some money for sth. 表示“因为…而收取某人多少费用”。estimate“估计”。calculate“计算”。control“控制”。
20.A 由于通常不能直接用于连接两个单句,此句与下一句之间应该是主从句关系。选项中只有A项能作从句连词,且意义相符。

第7题:

Public goods are those products from whose enjoyment nobody can be effectively excluded. Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities, and one person’s utilization(利用)does not reduce the possibilities of anybody else’s enjoying the same good.Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect. A flood control dam is a public good. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefit--regardless of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the utilization of the lighthouse for navigational purposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with a public good. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse, and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense.Because the market does not provide the necessary signals, economic analysis has to be substituted(代替) for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.
