12、ion. The Daily Mirror and the Daily Express both sell about four million copies every day. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and frequently take two or three on Sundays. Apart from the national papers, local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town

13、 and country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own financially and many of them are very profitable. These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local eventsbirths, weddings, deaths, council meetings and sports but the content is naturally influenced by the kind of c

14、ommunity they serve. Editors prefer to rely on a small staff of people who all know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news. The editor must never forget that the success

15、 of any newspaper depends on advertising. He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason.

What is not discussed in detail in the passage?A.Current ratioB.DebtsC.Working capitalD.Quick ratio答案:B听力原文17-20 Such classification

20、s as current assets and current liabilities are useful in analyzing financial statements. The working capital, which is the difference between a firms current assets and current liabilities, is a significant figure, because it represents the net current capital with which the firm conducts its opera

21、tions. Insufficient working capital may prevent a firm from meeting its debts in time. Sometimes, when a company borrows using long-term notes or bonds, the lender requires the borrower to maintain a required amount of working capital. Also we can calculate various ratios involving current assets an

22、d current liabilities. The current ratio is simply the current assets divided by the current liabilities. The ratio is a measure of the firms ability to meet its current obligations on time and to have funds readily available for current operations. For many years, some short-term creditors have rel

23、ied on a rule of thumb that the current ratio for industrial companies should exceed 200%. Sometimes analysts calculate the ratio between the liquid or quick, current assets and the current liabilities. The quick current assets are cash, marketable securities and receivables. The main item omitted i

24、s, of course, the inventory. Prepaid items are also omitted, but they are usually not material in amount. The quick ratio may give a better picture than the current ratio of a companys ability to meet current debts. When taken together with the current ratio, it gives the analyst an idea of the infl

25、uence of the inventory figure in the companys working capital position. Quick Ratio equals Cash plus Marketable Securities plus Receivables divided by Current Liabilities. 2. In the passage, A rule of thumb probably means _ .A.first hand experienceB.basic calculating rulesC.physical effortD.financia

What is the main topic of this talk?A.Bicyeles and Cars.B.Building Codes.C.Energy Conservation.D.New Housing Construction.答案:C听力原文 14-17For the past f

28、ew weeks, we have been discussing national energy conservation alternatives for the future. Today Im going to talk about what one communitys presently doing to conserve energy. The people of Davis, California, have succeeded in cutting their energy consumption by 1/3 since 1973. The first energy sav

29、ing action that was taken in the early 70s was the legislation of street building codes. All new houses in Davis must have the proper insulation so that heat will not escape unnecessarily during the winter. New houses must also face north or south, so that they will not be overheated by the sun in s

30、ummer. The law definitely has had effect. Since 1976, there has been a 50 percent saving in the amount of natural gas and electricity used in heating and air-conditioning. There are other energy saving features about Davis. Buses, partially supported by the city, transport university students throug

31、hout the area. There are 24 miles of bicycle paths, and today there are twice as many bicycles as cars in the city. By reducing the available parking space, the City Council has succeeded in reducing the number of cars in the city every day. Another benefit of the reduced parking space is the greate

32、r number of small cars. People are saving gas because they are choosing not to drive, or because they are driving fuel-economic cars. Davis, California, has become an energy saving model for other cities. Time is up for today. Next week well return to our regular topic of national energy alternative

33、s. 6. When did Davis begin this program?A.In 1917.B.In 1950.C.In 1965.D.In 1973.答案:D本题属于细节捕捉题。独白在引入Davis这个地方时指出：have succeeded in cutting their energy consumption by 1/3 since 1973，说明该地从1973年就开始了节能项目。独自中还出现了另一个时间：Since 1976，但选项中并没有这一项，因此对考生的干扰性不大。7. Why is insulation required in new houses?A.To limi

34、t heating bills.B.To prevent heat loss.C.To determine the temperature in homes.D.To convert homes to electric heat.答案:B本题也是细节题。独白在开始介绍Davis这个地区的做法时，首先说明的是在建筑上的立法，然后进行了具体说明：All new housesso that the heat will not escape.，对其中so that所表达的因果关系的理解正是本题的考查点所在。B项与此意相同，只是表达方式不一样，故是本题正确答案。8. According to the s

35、peaker, how did the City Council succeed in reducing the number of cars?A.By reducing parking space.B.By transporting people by bus.C.By providing people free bicycles.D.By saving gas.答案:A本题属于细节捕捉题。在提到Davis地方采取的其他节能措施时，独白指出：By reducing the available parking space.in the city every day，即Davis市政府是通过减少

36、停车位的做法来减少该市的汽车数量的，因此本题答案就是A。其余三项都属于抓住独白中的个别词汇进行的发挥。 (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 9. What is the main focus of the survey?A.Consumer age groups.B.Staying fit.C.Leisure sporting activities of consumers.D.Proposals for consumers.答案:C听力原文 17-20W: Sam, could you review the results of the survey on leisure sporti

37、ng activities again? We need to plat out our proposal for this Fridays business meeting.M: Sure, Mary. Ive summarized the results in the handout, broken down by consumer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55 years old, and

38、the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18 to 26, 27 to 35, 36 to 45, and 46 to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities are those between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36 to 45 years old.W: Okay.M: As far as particular sports a

39、re concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport, followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.W: Hmrn. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18- to 26-year-old-age group more in the future. I also feel we should conside

40、r expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging and tennis foot ware. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.M: I see what you mean. However, when these results are compared with the survey carried out three years ago, we can see a growing trend amo

41、ng older consumers I mean 46 to 55 who are becoming more conscious and concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should focus on this group instead.W: I see your point. Well, lets meet again on Wednesday to iron out more of the details of this proposal.10. Which group se

42、ems to be most active in sports?A.18 to 26.B.27 to 35.C.36 to 45.D.46 to 55.答案:A本题对应的信息仍在第一个话轮中。男士在此话轮的最后一句中指出：the most active group involved in sporting activities are those between 18 and 26 years old，即最喜欢进行体育活动的是1826岁这个年龄段的人，其次则是3645岁这个年龄段的人。因此本题答案就是A。11. Which sport is cited as the most popular

43、one?A.Playing tennis.B.Jogging.C.Swimming.D.Cycling.答案:B在第二个话轮中，男士明确指出：people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport，故答案就是B。12. What is the womans marketing strategy?A.Targeting the 36 to 45-year-old-age group and expanding the line of athletic clothes.B.Targeting the

44、 18 to 26-year-old-age group and expanding the line of athletic shoes.C.Making more detailed surveys and proposals.D.Focusing on the 46 to 55-year-old-age group instead of the 18 to 26 group.答案:B对话的第三个话轮讨论了针对调查结果所应采取的策略。女士的第一句话即说明了自己的看法：I think we should consider targeting the 18-to 26-year-old-age

45、group more in the future，即她认为未来应当多以1826岁这个年龄段的顾客的需求为目标，后面又提到了expanding our line of athletic shoes等具体措施，故本题应选包含这两个方面的B项。注意，D项是男士的观点而非女士的观点，应看清题目给出的限定条件。Section Use of English Read the following text. Choose the best word for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. Standard Englis

46、h is the variety of English which is usually used in print and which is normally taught in schools and to non-native speakers learning the language. It is also the variety which is normally 1 by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other 2 situations. The difference between standard and n

47、onstandard, it should be noted, has 3 in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial 4 ; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants. 5 , the standard variety of English is based on the London 6 of English that developed after the Norman Conquest resulted in the rem

48、oval of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one 7 by the educated, and it was developed and promoted 8 a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the 9 that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today, 10 English is arranged

49、 to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are 11 the same everywhere in the world where English is used; 12 among local standards is really quite minor, 13 the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very 14 different from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary

50、are 15 . Indeed, Standard English is so powerful that it exerts a tremendous 16 on all local varieties, to the extent that many of long-established dialects of England have 17 much of their vigor and there is considerable pressure on them to be 18 . This 19 situation is not unique to English: it is

51、also true in other countries where processes of standardization are 20 . But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supernational ones. 1.A.SurprisinglyB.HistoricallyC.InterestinglyD.Generally答案:B考查副词与上下文理解。由下文中的dev

52、eloped(发展)及整个句意可知这里涉及的是英语的历史，因此选historically(历史上，从历史来说)。其余三项都不合逻辑。2.A.accentB.pronunciationC.spellingD.dialect答案:D考查名词与上下文理解。由上下文可知这里指的是伦敦英语这种方言，因此选dialect(方言)。 accent口音；pronunciation发音；spelling拼写。而下文中紧跟着又出现了dialect一词，可以帮助确定答案。3.A.preferredB.learnedC.praisedD.created答案:A考查动词辨义，prefer更喜欢, learn学习；pra

53、ise表扬；create创造。由文意与常识可知，受过教育的人应当是“更喜欢”说伦敦英语，因此选A。4.A.toB.inC.asD.for答案:C考查介词用法。to引出的是方向和对象，in表示的是空间位置、途径等，as指“作为”，表达的是形式，for引出对象和目的。由上下文与常识可知，这里指伦敦方言演变成了一种标准英语，表示的是一种形式，因此选C。5.A.basisB.normC.ruleD.variety答案:B考查名词辨义与上下文理解。由上文中的norm与本句中的also即可确定应选norm(标准，规范)。basis基础；rule规则；variety种类。6.A.formalB.colloq

54、uialC.non-standardD.standard答案:D考查上下文理解。由于后文谈论的都是标准英语的问题，因此根据逻辑与上下文文意可知此处也应用standard来修饰。7.A.notB.veryC.muchD.hardly答案:C考查副词与上下文理解。由后文中描述标准英语的形容词powerful及常识可知这里作者表达的应是肯定含义，即世界各地标准英语的语法、词汇等都是相同的，因此选much。A、D是否定副词； B中的very不用于修饰the same。8.A.variationB.standardizationC.unificationD.transformation答案:A考查名词辨

55、义与上下文理解。由上题分析可知作者指的是标准英语在语法等上的相同性，因此此处应是说各地之间的差异“很小”，选variation(差异，变化)。standardization标准化；unification统一，联合；transformation改变，改观。9.A.whileB.butC.so thatD.nevertheless答案:C考查上下文关系。由上下文可知，此处所说几种英语在语法和词汇上差别不大，应当是前文所说各地英语差异很小的一种结果，因此选so that。while表轻微转折或者同时，but表示转折，nevertheless为正式用语，也表转折或者让步，它们都不合句意逻辑。10.A.

56、greatB.muchC.noD.little答案:D考查上下文理解。参见上题分析。本题由常识也可推知答案。注意C虽然也表否定，但它是绝对否定，明显不符合事实。11.A.talkedB.concernedC.mentionedD.involved答案:D考查固定搭配。as/so far as.be concerned为固定搭配，指“就而言，从来说”。其余三项都不用在此结构中。12.A.pressB.pressureC.powerD.force答案:B考查名词辨义与上下文理解。press媒体，按，压，繁重；pressure压力；power权力，力量；force迫使，力量。由于后面一句紧跟着出现了pressure on这一搭配，因此此处也选pressure。13.A.lostB.gainedC.missedD.got答案:A考查动词辨义与上下文理解。由句意不难看出，标准英语的强大力量应当是使一些英国方言“失去”了生命力(即用这些方言的人越来越少)，因此选A。gain
