dmaintainb【要点综述】 本文讲述了经济危机导致居民消费开支产生了自1980以来的最大幅度的下滑这一现象。1c这促成了近三十年来最严重的经济下滑。submit to 服从；resort to 求助，诉诸；contribute to 有助于，促进；extend to 延伸到。2bconsumer spending表示“消费性支出”。3a上半句说人们在住房、日用品及服务上的支出减少了，下半句说出国度假的人花费也减少了，由此可见前后分句是并列的关系，所以用while。although 表示让步；because表示原因；but 表示转折。4cinstantly 立即，马上；simultaneously 同时地；significantly 显著地，重要地；actively积极地，活跃地。不难看出这里是说出国度假的人花费也明显减少了，因此选significantly。5dpay cuts表示“减薪”，pay freezes表示“工资冻结”。dive潜水；halt停止；pause暂停，间歇。6dcalculate计算；accumulate 积累；express表达；show表明。这里表示“数据表明”，故选择d项。7asince 表示“从以来”，上文提到员工们的补偿金本季度下降了1.1%，这个下降的幅度是自1955年有记录以来最大的，所以用since。8bcompetition 竞争；employment 就业；achievement 成就，成绩；attraction吸引，吸引力。伴随着工资的下降，竞争肯定越来越激烈，失业的人也就越来越多，所以就业率就会下降。9arelease 发布，释放；relieve 解除，减轻；relate 联系，叙述；relax 放松。这里release表示“发布”。句意：这份数据是作为英国国家统计局这个组织对英国经济评估报告的一部分来对外发布的。10cpromote促进，提升；justify证明是合法的；confirm确认，证实；advocate 提倡，主张。句意：这份数据证实了第一季度国内生产总值下降了1.9%这一事实。11d从后半句“the biggest annual fall since 1980”可以得出gdp肯定是比去年降低了4.1%，所以用lower。poor贫穷的；slim苗条的；weak虚弱的。12bamazing令人惊异的；depressing令人沮丧的；surprising令人惊讶的；puzzling令人费解的。 13aeconomy经济；finance财政；business商业；commerce贸易。这里应该是对整个宏观经济的展望，所以用economy，其他三个选项太过片面了。14bin response to表示“响应，反应”，这里表示由于房地产市场、劳动力市场以及银行借贷的疲软，导致家庭支出以及投资的大幅下降。15aremain表示“依然，保持”，后面大多跟形容词。maintain表示“维持，保持(已有的水平、标准)”，这里表示“虽然由于房地产市场、劳动力市场以及银行借贷的疲软而导致家庭支出以及投资的大幅下降，但是我们仍然不相信”，所以这里用remain。综合技能完形训练-【2012全国ii】around

death”可以断定maja是失去了jasmina，故选a：失去。2a.talking blivingcswimming dsurfing答案：c。从第一段中的提示句“enter the pool”可以推断出：maja跳进水池就是为了和海豚一起游泳。正好与“an injured dophin was swimming”以及文章最后一句话都保持语境的一致。3a.adored badoptedcpossessed dpurchased答案：a。根据下文的故事情节，尤其是maja与海豚的相同的境遇，会有跟好的互相爱怜，故选a：喜爱。而其它选项则与语境相差太远。4a.pretended bdecidedcperferred dagreed 答案：b。根据文章的第一段的语境，可以断定本句中的it以及上句中的it指的都是“与海豚一起游泳”一事，而根据最后一段的描述，可以清楚：maja是早有决心去做这件事的，故选：decide“决定”。5a.positive benthusiasticcparticular dcurious答案：b。be enthusiastic about sth.是指：对某事有激情，热情。而根据下句“planned to become an athlete”便可以断定是喜爱体育运动。6a.undoubtedly bsurprisinglycstrangely dunfortunately答案：d。从下文中的信息词：civil war以及artificial leg自然给人不幸的预感。而答案d：“不幸的是”。7a.took away btook overccut down dcut out答案：a。take
