2、Financial Statements 1. Sarah Lee would like to know the strengths in research in lreland答案:B“Sarah Lee想了解爱尔兰在研究方面的优势。” 爱尔兰的研究情况的介绍应该出现在“Reseatch and Innovation”(研究与创新)部分中。因此应该选B。 2. Barrie Watson needs a list of the board members答案:E“Barrie Watson需要一份(爱尔兰工业发展署)董事会成员的名单。” 对发展署董事会的介绍应该在“Board and Com

3、mittees of the Board 2007”中。报告中的这个部分通常包括对董事会成员的介绍，也包括对各个委员会功能及其成员的介绍。所以E为正确选项。 3. Tim Longman wants to have a general knowledge of the development of Ireland.答案:A“Tim Longman希望大致了解一下爱尔兰的发展情况。” 对发展情况的简略描述一般包含在公司或组织的年度报告中“Chairman and CEO Overview”中。这个部分一般包括公司发展概况。因为本题涉及的目录是爱尔兰工业发展署的年度报告，所以这一部分应该是对爱尔兰

4、工业发展情况的概述。如果读者希望了解更加详细的数据信息，可以在“Statistics”这一部分中查阅，因为该部分会提供很多具体的数据。本题只说要得到“general knowledge”，所以A项正确。 4. Scott Forrest needs to know the locations of the agencyS offices答案:G“Scott Forrest需要了解发展署的各个办事处的地点。” 年度报告会在“Organisational Strueture and IDA Offices这个部分中对该机构的构成情况做简单介绍，并提供IDA在各地的办事处的地址及联系方式，所以G为正

5、确选项。 5. Joshua Golder wants to find out which companies have invested in Ireland答案:C“Joshua Golder想知道哪些公司已经在爱尔兰投资了。” 本题可把关键词“invest”作为解题线索，用排除法即可找到C项。年度报告在“Investment High-lights”这一部分列举了爱尔兰投资的主要企业。因此C项正确。 PART TWO1. In this year, the GDPs of USA and GER showed an increase, while that of JAP was just

6、 the opposite.答案: C先找符合第一个条件，即美国和德国呈现增长的项，为C、D、E、F、H；再用第二个条件，即“日本刚好相反”，也就是日本呈现下降这个条件去排除干扰项。因此C项正确。2. The GDPs of GER and JAP increased steadily and USAs GDP reached its peak in this year.答案: F通常情况下，题目中只要提到了“reached its peak”，仅用这一条件就可找到答案。在本题中，找到美国达到峰值的选项就可以了。因此F项正确。3. USA demonstrated a fall while G

7、ER and JAP continued to rise.答案: G利用第一个条件，即“美国出现了下降”便可以完成此题，因为只有G项中美国是下降的。然后再用第二个条件“德国和日本继续增长”进一步确定。因此G项正确。4. GER and JAP experienced decrease in this year, but USA increased slightly.答案: B德国下降的只有B项，再看B项中的日本是否也下降，这时可以基本确定为B，最后用第二个条件“美国出现略微增长”来确认。因此B项正确。5. In this year, USA regained a rise and the ot

8、her two countries continued to increase.答案: H在本题中，正确理解“regain”一词非常重要。“regained a rise”表示在下降之后再上升。本题中是说美国重拾升势，所以H项符合。再用第二个条件“其他两国继续增长”做进一步确认。因此H项正确。PART THREE SANDWICH SUCCESS Britains sandwich business is expanding fast. Half the population buy sandwiches at least twice 1 week, and they are spending

9、 more 2 them 3 sandwiches are made at home, while 4 from shops are selling in growing numbers. One reason is that packaging keeps sandwiches fresh for up to 48 hours, making 5 possible to mass-produce them centrally and distribute them widely. 6 reason is that petrol stations, wanting to expand the

10、range of 7 they sell, have quickly become major outlets for sandwiches. The increase in sandwich sales has also been helped by changing social trends. Many people have stopped 8 family meals at home, and 9 choose the time and place to eat. Time has become more important than price, 10 convenience is

11、 the most important reason 11 all. Taken together, these changes are making the sandwich industry 12 into a very valuable business. 1.A.theB.aC.this答案:Ba常常用在价格、等级和速度等前面，意思相当于each, this week意思是“这周”。2.A.onB.atC.in答案:ASpend.on sth.是固定的搭配，意思是在某事方面花费3.A.eitherB.muchC.fewer答案:C由于越来越多的人花钱购买三明治，那么，在家里做的三明治就

12、越来越少了。因此，这里应该使用否定意义的词fewer。4.A.theyB.allC.those答案:C参看上题，这里指的是从商店里出售的三明治，that用于指代所指、暗示、提及或被理解的事物，它的复数形式是those。5.A.itB.themC.that答案:A在这里只有it可以做形式宾语，代替真正的宾语“to mass-produce them”。意思是“使得批量生产成为可能”。6.A.AnotherB.OtherC.Next答案:Aanother常常指“一个不确定的一些或一组中的一个”，other后面要跟名词复数，next前面需要加上冠词。7.A.whichB.thatC.what答案:C

14、orC.by答案:Aof all常常用在最高级比较的句子中，表示“在所有的中”。12.A.growB.growingC.grown答案:A在谓语动词make后面的宾语补足语的动词不定式应该不带“to”。PART FOUR Put Down That Tool The British work longer hours than anyone else in the European Union (EU), which may account for Britains faster rate of economic growth in the past decade. But the Europ

15、ean Commission wants to put a stop to it. In a recent report it notes disapprovingly that, The UK is the only member state where weekly working time has increased over the last decade. The commission believes that British companies may be systematically violating the EUs Working Time Directive . Thi

16、s demands that Europeans should work a maximum of 48 hours a week on average. Under the directive, workers can sign an opt-out, agreeing to work more than 48 hours. Some 33% of British workers have signed such opt-outs, although only 16% are believed actually to be working more than 48 hours. Anna D

17、iamantopoulou, the European commissioner for employment and social affairs, has a doubt about that. Firms in other European countries have not made much use of opt-outs. But, she thinks, some British bosses may be forcing workers to sign opt-outs as a condition of taking a job. (Some Americans may a

18、ctually want to work more than 48 hours, but surely no European would be so silly, seems to her reasoning.) Citing reasons ranging from health and safety to the need to maintain minimum social standards in the EU and to strike a better balance between work and family life, the commission is launchin

19、g a consultation of interested parties on possible changes to the directive. The commissioner hopes that Britain will be able to come up with solutions on a voluntary basis. This sounds innocent enough. But, in reality, if it does not, the commission will probably devise a new directive. The commiss

20、ion is likely to push for tighter definitions of the conditions under which opt-outs can be used. This will inevitably reduce labour-market flexibility and may introduce yet more burdensome corporate form-filling and regulation. The British government claims to welcome the commissions review. Privat

21、ely, however, it hopes that the appointment of a new commission next autumn will ensure that Mrs Diamantopoulou does not have enough time to revise the directive. She will certainly need to work long hours to get it done. Fortunately, being classified as a manager, at least she has an automatic opt-
