48、介词of一起使用。  42答案选A。根据上下文，可确定文章的意思是“单单去年就”。alone表示“只有， 仅仅”；aside表示“在一边”；alon9“沿着”；lonely表示“孤独的”意思。 43答案选D。固定搭配，习惯用语，意为“据说”。as for和as t0都是“至于，关于”的意思；judging by是“根据判断”。 44答案选A。考查语法知识。根据上下文可以得知，这里讲的是过去的事情，但跟现在还有关系，即过去20年里，中国扩大了对外贸易。 45答案选B。如果数字作定语，前面有冠词，后面有名词的话，其形式应该是a 20-year。46

49、答案选C。根据上下文，可以确定该句子不是被动语态，从而可以排除A和D；been后面必须跟一个名词，因此可以确定答案选C。 47答案选D。此题考查的是介词。一般说on the stage“在舞台上”。 48答案选B。此题考查的是背景知识，中国在经历了l00年的动乱之后。 49答案选C。此题考查的是语法知识。这句话的主语是a new generation,谓语动词必须是单数，所以选项C是正确答案。注意不要把large and credible firms(后置定语)当作主语。 50答案选A。reach为及物动词，后面不用接介词。

52、gone. There is no silver in today's coins. When the price of the precious metal rises above its face value as money,the metal will become more valuable in other uses.

53、ld find that it is cheaper to obtain silver by melting down coins than by buying it on the commodity markets. Coins today are made of an alloy of cheaper metals.Gresham's Law,named after Sir Thomas Gresham,argues that good money is driven out of circulation by bad money。 Good money differs from

55、less precious metal than the face value indicated. Because different mixings of coins had different amounts of gold and silver,even though they bore the same face value,some coins were worth more than others as commodities. People who dealt with gold and silver could easily see the difference betwee

56、n the good and the bad money. Gresham observed that coins with a higher content of gold and silver were kept rather than being used in exchange,or were melted down for their precious metal. In the mid-1960s when the U.S. issued new coins to replace silver coins,Gresham's law went right in action
