第2题：

Which of the following is the guarantee of a better future for US economy?

［A］Motor vehicles.

［B］Housing market.

［C］Business equipment.

［D］Computer gear.

正确答案：B

本题考查了第六段至第九段的事实细节。这四个段落提到了备选项中四个经济生产部门。第六段提到，消费品的生产几乎回到了一年前的水平，因为对汽车及其他物品的消费需求以及房屋产业在经济衰退期间都保持了健康发展。第七段提到，过去两个月的月住宅建筑和房产市场相关数据都在整个2001年的平均数以上。这表明住宅建筑有了好的开始，可能不会成为今年GDP增长的累赘。第八段提到，稳固的房产市场可以刺激对房屋相关物品和服务的需求，如家具、电子产品和纺织品。期望消费商品的产量在未来的月份里超越年前的水平。第九段提到，甚至办公设备部门的生产似乎都要降至最低点。它的产量因电脑设备0.6%的涨幅在1月上升了0.4%。

概括而言，汽车是消费者需求的对象，办公设备和电脑设备的产量只是小幅度的增长，只有房产市场不仅呈现良好发展势头，而且还带动其他生产领域的发展。因此［B］项正确。

What's NASDAQ?

NASDAQ is a familiar but strange name for people.We often learn its news via different kinds of media,though quite a lot of people can not tell what exactly it means.
NASDAQ,short for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations system,is one of the largest market in the world for stocks trading. The number of companies in NASDAQ is more than that of the other stock exchange in America,including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE)and the American Stock Exchange(AMEX).
Most of the companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMEX.NASDAQ has become recognized as the home of new technology companies,especially computer and computer-related businesses.Trading on NASDAQ is initiated by stock brokers acting on behalf of their clients.The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.
Different from other stock exchange,NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place.Instead,its market makers can be found all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Since brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange,NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the-counter refers to the direct nature of the trading,as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.
Since its foundation in 1971,the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator. As the world's first electronic stock market,NASDAQ long ago set a precedent for technological trading innovation that is unrivaled.Now poised to become the world's first truly global market,the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide.By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.

A:NASDAQ is the headquarters of new technology companies.

C:NASDAQ has innovated a lot in stock market.
D:Hundreds of companies achieve their desired growth every year.

第5题：

Below is a housing guide for students going to London.

Below is a housing guide for students going to London. University accommodation (住所) offices

Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to houses all their students.

Property papers: Loot and Renting

Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: http://www.loot.com/. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.

Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. renting.co.uk.

Accommodation agencies

The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.

Noticeboards

Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.

Word of mouth

Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.

Family

Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.

45. What is the advantage of using Loot?

A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.

B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.

C. Their website is designed mainly for students.

D. There are some good bargains.

正确答案：D

解析：细节理解题。关于Loot，选择相应的部分，仔细阅读，得知Loot的好处是：The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.即价格方面好商量。故选择D。

第6题：

We can learn from the second paragraph of the passage that there are some equations of market which can explain the demand and supply of the currency of a country.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Doesn't say

正确答案：B
解析：结合第二段第二、三句，意指在经济模型中有许多解释货币供需的等式联合求解，且货币供需的理由很详细以确保每个等式成立，但并不像题中所说的有些等式可以解释一国的货币供求(the demand and supply of the currency)。

第7题：

As for "distressed sales", which of the following statements is TRUE?（）

[A] It occupies 35% to 40% of the whole house sales in the history.

[B] It is made up of both the foreclosed homes and short sales.

[C] It prevents people from selling their houses too cheaply.

[A]它占整个房屋销售的35%到40%。
[B]它包括取消抵押品赎回权的房屋和卖空。
[C]它防止人们廉价卖房。
[D]它对曾经红火的房屋销售市场几乎没有影响。
答案解析：[B]事实细节题。本题可用排除法：[A]与原文“目前35%到40%的房屋出售都是低于市场价的廉价出售”不符；[C]与原文“房屋的拥有者都以低于抵押的价值出售房屋”相悖，排除；[D]与文中第七段“房屋价格下跌有很大影响”相悖。[B]与原文第六段破折号之后的意思相符，包含foreclosed homes和short sales两种，故为答案。

第9题：

Questions 117-120refer to the following questions.
Summer Travel Sale
Figures published yesterday in a report on the national housing market show that consumers purchased more new homes in September than in any month yet this year. The increase of 14.1% over last month directly contradicts the predictions of market analysts.
" It was a real shock to most of us," admitted Lashawnda Cassano, chief economist with the firm Capital Resources, LLTG." New-home sales were down so much in August and July that we simply expected the trend to continue. But this changes everything."
The report states that 71,000 homes were sold in the month of September. That is well above the figure of 62,000 sold in August and July's one of 64,000. Previous months had seen the num-ber holding steady at around 68,000. These new numbers are sure to encourage investors, who have been hesitant to put their trust in the country's economy since last spring's downturn. All three national stock markets jumped up at least ten points on the news.
The report is also likely to boost construction of new homes, as builders interpret it as a rise in consumer demand. However, if they react too enthusiastically, they risk flooding the market with new houses which could have the effect of pushing down prices and cutting into the profits of the real estate industry.
What does this article mainly discuss?

A.An investment firm's sales figures
B.A recession's effect on the real estate industry
C.Yesterday's stock market activity
D.An economic report's unexpected findings

答案：D

解析：

第10题：

Text 4 When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads,railways,broadband and energy.Housing is seldom mentioned.Why is that?To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame.We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth.Then there is the scale of the typical housing project.It is hard to shove for attention among multibillionpound infrastructure project,so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere.But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.Nevertheless,the affordable housing situation is desperate.Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this.It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that.The communities minister,Don Foster,has hinted that George Osborne,Chancellor of the Exchequer,may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.Evidence shows that 60,000 extra new homes could be built over the next five years if the cap were lifted,increasing GDP by 0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment,which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.But it is not just down to the government.While these measures would be welcome in the short term,we must face up to the fact that the existing￡4.5bn programme of grants to fund new affordable housing,set to expire in 2015，is unlikely to be extended beyond then.The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition's spending plans if returns to power.The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to era of largescale public grants.We need to adjust to this changing climate.While the government’s commitment to long-term funding may have changed,the very pressing need for more affordable housing is real and is not going away.
It can be learned that affordable housing has______

A.increased its home supply
B.offered spending opportunities
C.suffered government biases
D.disappointed the government

答案：C

解析：

推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题。考生需要在对第三段和第四段的信息理解的基础之上进行推理。【直击答案】根据题干可以定位到第三段第一句话，经济适用房的情况不容乐观。第四段接着提到政府的综合支出审查是改善这一情况的一次机会，但政府需要将历史偏见先放到一边。这说明经济适用房曾遇到过偏见，这正是C项所表达的含义。从同义替换的角度来看，“suffered”是过去式，是对于原文“historical”的同义替换，“biases”是对原文“prejudices”的同义替换。【干扰排除】A项与原文信息相反，第三段第二句指出对经济适用房的需求量一直增加（waiting lists increase），而非供应量（supply）增加。第四段说综合支出审查给改善经济适用房的情况提供了机会，而B项是指经济适用房给政府支出提供了机会，这属于信息混淆，故排除。D项“经济适用房让政府很失望”在文中并未提及，属于无中生有，故排除。
