D.CarlosRuizZafon.【答案与解析】文章主要是对四本书进行了简单的介绍。29.A根据第1本书的介绍中“ClikaUnigwesthirdnovelisataleofonewomanssearchforbelonging”可知。30.C根据第3本书的介绍中“...atthedawnofthenewmillennium...”可知。31.D根据第4本书的介绍中“Thisisthethirdinthecycleofbooks”可知,作者CarlosRuizZafon写了一套系列书。DGovernmentsallovertheworldmakepublicreportsabouttheconditionoftheireconomies.Mostcountries,includingtheUnitedStates,haveusedameasurecalledthegrossnationalproduct(国民生产总值)orGNP.Itincludesallgoodsandservicesproducedbycitizensofthecountryanywhereintheworld.RecentlytheAmericanCommerceDepartmenthasstartedusinganewmethodtomeasureproduction.Itisknownasthegrossdomesticproduct(国内生产总值)orGDP.Itcountsonlygoodsandservicesthathavebeenproducedwithinthenationsborders.MoneyearnedbyforeigncompaniesoperatingintheUnitedStatesisincludedintheGDP,butmoneyearnedbyAmericancompaniesoperatinginothercountriesisnot.Economicexpertsgenerallyapproveofthechange.Theysaythatthegrossdomesticproductprovidesatruermeasureoftheeconomy.Theyalsonotethatmostotherindustrialcountriesusethismethod.Thereforeitwillbeeasiertostudytheeconomiesofdifferentcountries.Someofficialsalsohopethenewsystemwillhelpthemmakebettereconomicpolicydecisions.ItwillprovidethemwithaclearerunderstandingofeconomicactivityintheUS.ThenewmeasureislesslikelytobeaffectedbysuddenchangesinforeignoilpricesorinthevalueoftheAmericandollarinothercountries.EconomicexpertsbelievethatthechangefromGNPtoGDPwillimmediatelyreducethevalueofAmericanproductionbyatleast40,000milliondollarsayear.ButthatisreallyaverysmallchangeintheAmericaneconomy—lessthan1%.TheCommerceDepartmentreportstheunofficialgrossdomesticproductonceeverythreemonths.ThegovernmentalsocontinuestoreportGNPasithasfourtimesayearsince1941.32.ToreporttheAmericanGDP,theCommerceDepartmentshouldcountmoneyearned.

B.Onceeverythreemonths.C.Onceeverysixmonths.

D.Onceayear.【答案与解析】全世界各国政府都会定期对经济状况进行一次公开报告。包括美国在内的大多数国家都在使用GNP(国民生产总值)来衡量经济发展状况。最近,美国国务部开始使用一种新的测量方法——GDP(国内生产总值)来衡量经济的发展。32.A根据第2段“Itcountsonlygoodsandservicesthathavebeenproducedwithinthenationsborders.MoneyearnedbyforeigncompaniesoperatingintheUnitedStatesisincludedintheGDP”可知,国内生产总值包括外国人在本国范围内生产的产品和提供的服务。故选A项。33.D根据第3段“ThenewmeasureislesslikelytobeaffectedbysuddenchangesinforeignoilpricesorinthevalueoftheAmericandollarinothercountries”可知,使用国内生产总值来衡量经济发展,可以避开国外市场的波动,故选D项。34.C根据最后一段“...thechangefromGNPtoGDPwillimmediatelyreducethevalueofAmericanproductionbyatleast40,000milliondollarsayear...averysmallchange...”可知,用GDP代替GNP会使美国的生产总值下降一点,故选C项。35.B根据最后一段“TheCommerceDepartmentreportstheunofficialgrossdomesticproductonceeverythreemonths”可知,美国商务部每三个月做一次报告,故选B项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。MaythefirstisanimportantdateinthecollegeadmissionprocessintheUnitedStates.Thisisthelastdayforhighschoolseniorstoacceptorrejectoffersofadmissioninthefall.Butaccordingtoarecentreport,thereisagreatchange.Acceptanceratesatthetopcollegesthisyearwerelowerthanever.36Thesedays,collegeapplicantsareapplyingtomorecollegesbecauseonlineandcommonapplicationsmaketheprocesseasier.37Ontheotherhand,decidingstudentsfortopcollegestoacceptcanbedifficultbecauseittakesmuchtime.Studentsmaynotlikebeingputonwaitinglists.Also,commoncollegesworkmoretogetthestudentstheyaccepttoacceptthem.Somecollegesholdvisitingdaysthatofferachancetoattendclassesandstayovernight.Someuniversitiessendgifts.38Formanyfamilies,themostimportantthingcollegescandoistoshowthemthemoney,especiallythisyear;theweakeconomymakesparentsnervous.39Therecentproblemsthatspreadfromthehousingmarkettocreditmarketshaveevenaffectedstudentsloans.Solately,topschoolshavetosparelotsofmoneytoincreasetheirfinancialaidforstudents.
