19、round a basically privateenterprise， marketoriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.【语法分析】1核心句为：The American economic system is organized around a.economy。2economy前面（basica

20、lly privateenterprise， marketoriented）为定语成分，修饰economy。3economy后面为in which引导的定语从句(in which consumers largely determine.)，修饰先行词economy。4此定语从句中又包含一个what引导的宾语从句（what shall be produced.)作determine的宾语。5此定语从句中还包含一个by引导的分词结构（by spending.)作方式状语。6方式状语中又包含了一个that引导的定语从句(that they want most）修饰goods and services

21、。【本句难点】 本句从句复杂，从句较多。【方法对策】 抓住核心句，分清修饰词和被修饰词。核心句为：The American economic system is organized around a.economy，economy前面的修饰成分可以先不看，然后再分析其他从句关系即可。本句主要说明美国经济运行方式。【例句精译】美国经济体制基本上是在私有企业、以市场为导向的经济基础上建立起来的。在这种体制下消费者在很大程度上决定应该生产什么产品和提供何种服务:他们使用在市场上花钱购买他们最想要的产品和服务这种方式来行使自己的这种权力。难句2  Thus， in the American

22、economic system it is the demand of individual consumers，coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes， that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.【语法分析】1本句核心句为 it is.that强调结构+3个并列部分组成的强

23、调内容。23个并列部分用coupled with 和 and 连接。3个并列成分分别为：the demand of individual consumers，the desire of businessmen to maximize profits，the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes。3本句开头的thus表示本句为总结性结论句，是对前面的总结；in the American economic system为状语结构。4that后面又包含由and连接的两个并列从句（what shall be produced 和 how res

24、ources are used to produce it）作determine的宾语。【本句难点】 1It is.that.引导的强调句型，其中强调部分较为复杂。5that后面又有一个并列从句。【方法对策】 第一次阅读可以把开头的状语省略不读，主要要看到本句核心句是一个It is.that.强调句型，然后再层层深入分解即可；强调句中所强调的部分是阅读重点，也是细节题考查对象。【例句精译】因此，在美国经济体制中，个体消费者的需求，加上生产厂商想最大程度赚钱的欲望以及消费者个人想最大限度提高他们手中货币购买力的愿望三者共同决定着应该生产什么和如何利用资源来生产这些产品。难句3  An

25、important factor in a marketoriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers.【语法分析】1本句核心句为：An important factor.is the mechanism.。2mechanism后by which引导的定语从句修饰先行词mechanism。3定语从句中包含被动成分：be expressed and responded to by producers。4定语从句中，and 后被动成分

26、改成主动结构：and producers can respond to consumer demands。【本句难点】 1表语(mechanism)的定语从句比较复杂。2定语从句中包含被动结构，较难理解。【方法对策】 抓住句子主干，抓住修饰词和从句关系即可迎刃而解。【例句精译】市场导向型经济中的一个重要因素是它有一种机制，这种机制能让消费者表达出自己的要求同时也让生产者对此做出反应。难句4  If， on the other hand， producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost， this will tend

27、 to increase the supply offered by sellerproducers， which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product.【语法分析】1本句主句为：this will tend to increase the supply.。2this 指代的是前面if引导的条件状语从句的内容；此状语从句中主语为动名词短语(producing more of a commodity)，插入语(on the other hand)第一次阅读可以省略不读。3主句包含whic

28、h引导的定语从句(which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product）修饰increase the supply offered by seller-producers。【本句难点】 1本句是一个有条件状语从句的主从句，从句由if引导。2代词的指代内容。【方法对策】 明确代词指代内容：第一个its指代的是commodity；this的指代内容；主句中定语从句的修饰内容。【例句精译】另一方面，如果某种产品大量生产导致成本下降，产销者提供的产品就会增加，反过来这就会使价格下跌，那么，更多的消

29、费者就可以购买该产品。难句5  In the American economy， the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights， including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.【语法分析】1本句主句为：the concept.e

30、mbraces not only.but also.。2主句的宾语部分为并列结构，由not only.but also 引导，其后为一个长补足语including the right. private individual。3补足语中to determine the price of a product 和 to make a free contract with another private individual并列修饰the right。【本句难点】 宾语为not only.but also引导的并列结构；后面为一个长补足语。【方法对策】 抓句子主干（the concept.embrac

31、es not only.but also.），然后再分析句子关系。【例句精译】在美国经济中，私有财产的概念不仅包括生产资料的所有权，也包括其他的一些权利，比如，产品价格的决定权或与其他私有个体的自由签约权。51.【答案】 D    【解析】 本文谈了美国经济的基本框架和运作情况。词汇题看上下文。从首段thus开始，我们可知，美国经济这台巨大机器，是由“消费者个人需求、生产厂商利润最大化的欲望以及消费者个人想最大限度提高他们手中货币购买力的愿望”这三者共同驱动的。此处maximize为“使最大化、最大值”之意。故A、B可立刻排除。如果是C的话，就不用maximize

32、，而直接用increase了。52.【答案】 D    【解析】 A、B明显不对。但也不能选C，因为那不是第二段的内容。问题问第二段前两句何意？仔细看可知市场型经济中，商品价格基本由供、求关系而定。（虽然末一段谈到私企老板也可自己定价，但他能随意定价而不受整个社会供求关系的大环境影响吗？！）53.【答案】 A    【解析】 此题比较简单，综合全文，尤其是末段，可知A私有财产和相关权利是私企的特点（注意：私产和相关权利包括了B、C、D）。54. 【答案】 C    【解析】中心思想题把每段首句串起来，其实

33、，仅看首句即可找出主题：美国经济体系的运作。      美国经济体制基本上是在私有企业、以市场为导向的经济基础上建立起来的。在这种体制下消费者在很大程度上决定应该生产什么产品和提供何种服务:他们使用在市场上花钱购买他们最想要的产品和服务这种方式来行使自己的这种权力。为了获取利润，私营业主们在与他人竞争中生产产品，提供服务。在竞争的压力下，追求利润的动机在很大程度上决定生产商品和提供服务的方式。因此，在美国经济体制中，个体消费者的需求，加上生产厂商想最大程度赚钱的欲望以及消费者个人想最大限度提高他们手中货币购买力的愿望三者共同决定着应该生产什么和

34、如何利用资源来生产这些产品。    市场导向型经济中的一个重要因素是它有一种机制，这种机制能让消费者表达出自己的要求同时也让生产者对此做出反应。在美国经济中，这一机制是由价格体制体现的，价格体制是价格随消费者的相对需求与生产者的供应情况而上下浮动的一个过程。如果供不应求，价格就上升，有些消费者就会被排挤出市场。另一方面，如果某种产品大量生产导致成本下降，产销者提供的产品就会增加，反过来这就会使价格下跌，那么，更多的消费者就可以购买该产品了。因此，价格是美国经济体制中的调节机制。    私有企业经济的一个重要因素是允许个人拥有生产资料（

35、也就是他们可以拥有的私有财产），并允许他们雇用劳动力，控制自然资源，通过生产产品、提供服务来获取利润。在美国经济中，私有财产的概念不仅包括生产资料的所有权，也包括其他的一些权利，比如，产品价格的决定权或与其他私有个体的自由签约权。51.第1段第7行，“the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes”指的是    A美国人从来没有对自己的收入感到满意    B美国人往往夸大他们的收入    C 美国人想增加收入    D美

36、国人想增加他们货币的购买力52.第二段的前两句说明：    A生产者能够通过机械化生产满足消费者需求    B消费者能够向生产者传达他们的需求    C 生产者决定产品的价格    D 供求调节价格53.根据本文，私有企业经济的特点是    A 私有财产和相关的权利    B对劳动力和自然资源的控制    C 对生产性资源的所有权    D 自由的合同和价格

37、54.本文主要是关于    A 美国的商品是如何生产的    B美国的消费者是如何购买商品的    C美国的经济体系是如何运作的D 美国的商人是如何赚钱的Text  2    One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bankissued credit card.They give their owners automatic credit in stores， restaurants，

56、and连接的两个并列句：They give their owners automatic credit.and they make many banking services available as well.2第一个分句语法较复杂，包含一个复杂地点状语(in stores， restaurants， and hotels， at home， across the country， and even abroad)。【本句难点】第一个分句包含复杂地点状语。【方法对策】第一个分句的复杂地点状语只是说明信用卡使用范围，第一遍阅读可以省略不读。【例句精译】信用卡持有者可在商店、饭店、宾馆，在当地、

60、都通过计算机的使用给消费者提供更好、效率更高的服务。55.【答案】B    【解析】本文从银行卡谈起，谈到了计算机在商品生产、销售等方面的重大用途。我们都知道，现在用“银联卡”取钱、购物等是很常见的现象，但这篇文章发表于1994年，那时，情况还远非如此！问题：持银行卡的人可以。据文可知，A、D两选项太绝对，而且文中也未提。至于C，“持卡人可得到商店店主的更大信任”（比用现金更信任吗？）文中未说。56. 【答案】C    【解析】 问题：从首段末句可知。末句说：For many of us，the “cashless society”

61、is not on the horizon 对我们许多人来说，“无现金社会”不是远在天边，its already here(它已经是个现实了)。由此可知选C。A说“in the future”，而且是“all Americans”都用。不对！B说银行卡“mainly used in the US”（主要在美国用，言外之意，其他国家不怎么用），文章未提“mainly”。D说银行卡“比过去”更方便了，文章并未对比今昔。57.【答案】B    【解析】词汇题看上下文。商店里的电子收款机绝不仅仅是记录销售额，还能记录别的，一般来说，收款机除了结账，就是“记录销售额”了。至于A清点货物、D跟踪库存，不应该是“收款机”的任务。而C给经理打电话，就更不沾边了。58.【答案】B
