中，invariably意思为“总是”，起强调松用，类似于always,consiantly等。⑶第

二段尾句中，Inactualfact意思为“事实上”，起强调作用。类似表达法有Infact,

Actually,Virtually等。句式亮点：（1）第一段首句利用If引导的条件状语从句进

行推论。（2）第二段倒数第二句中while意思为“而”，表示对照关系，起强调作用，

相当于but,whereas,yet,andyet等。（3）第三段第三句中Ibelieve意思为“我认

为“，利用插入成分使句型富有变化。篇章亮点：（1）第二段首句利用“…depends

onthemutualeffortsofbothsides”的结构引出某一事物的两个方面。⑵第二段首句

之后使用了“ontheoneband,…ontheotherhand,...”表示列举的结构。（3）第三段

前两句中“Itseemsthat...Butit,snotnecessarilythecase”是一个表示推论的结构,值

得模仿。

2、Bailynarguesthatitisbetterforacompanytoemploymoreworkersbecause

A、itiseasytomakeexcessstaffredundant

B、crisesoccurifyouareunder-staffed

C、peopleareavailabletocoverthecontingencies

D、theycanprojectappositiveimageatwork

标准答案：C

知识点露析：Bailyn认为多雇用员工更有利于企业，原因是什么。根据题干中的信

息词Bailyn和employmoreworkers定位到原文第七段，大意是Bailyn说“尽管好员

工的形象指的是那些生命都属丁公司的人，事实却并不尽然“，她引用质量和数量

研究的结果来显示，非全日制员工生产率在增加，多余出来的人可以处理那些随时

出现的意外事故。因减少工作时间而产生的积极效果，已使一些公司改变他们过去

的那种“多点时间总要好些”的认识。所以只有C）最符合题意。

3、ScholarthinksitwillbedifficultforworkersintheU.S.toreducetheirworking

hoursbecause.

A、theywouldnotbeab'etoaffordcarsorhome

B、employersareofferinghighincomesforlonghours

C>thefutureisdependentontechnologicaladvances

D、theydonotwishioreturntothehumblepost-warera

标准答案：A

知识点解析：专家认为在美国，对员工来说减少工作时间是非常困难的，原因是什

么。原文最后一段大意是美国人对物质需要的市场全被扭曲了，汽车制造商们不再

生产廉价的汽车，而房地产开发商也不再建造小平房了，甚至最便宜的家庭用品也

非要设计成带微处理器的。美国的物质只适用于高收入和长时间工作的社会。所以

只有A）最符合题意。

4、Amongthefollowingstatements,whichistrueaccordingtothepassage?

A、Today,employeesarcfacingareductioninworkinghours.

B、Economicrecoverycreatedmorejobs.

C^Bailyn'sresearchshowsthatpart-timeemployeesworkmoreefficiently.

D、Increasedleisuretimewouldbenefittwo-carccrhouseholds.

quantitativeandqualitativestudiesthatshowincreasedproductivityforpar-time

workers：theymakebetteruseofthetimetheyhave,andtheyarelesslikelyto

succumbtofatigueinstressfuljobs（她引用质量和数量研究的结果来显示，非全日制

员工生产率在增加：他们更充分地利用时间，并能有效应对工作压力）”可以碇定

选C）0

leisure"?

A^Increasedproductionhasledtojoblessness.

B、Managersestimatestaffproductivityintermsofhoursworked.

C、Benefitsandhoursspentonthejobarenotlinked.

D^Extraworkisofferedtoexistingemployees.

标准答案：B」

知识点解析：为什么作者说员工不愿用金钱换闲暇也的确有原因。根据题干中的信

息词trademoneyforleisure定位到原文的第六段，大意是员工不愿用金钱换闲暇也

的确有其苦衷，许多公司的经理发现很难衡量员工的贡献大小，所以他们用工作时

间长短作为衡量员工绩效的标准。所以选B）符合题意。

6、Theauthor'sattitudetowardsa"workaholiceconomy"is.

A、optimistic

B、pessimistic

C^indifferent

D、doubtful

标准答案：D

知识点解析：作者对“工作第一”经济的态度是什么。选项A）Optimistic（乐观）：B）

Pessimistic（悲观）；C）Indifferent（不关心）,D）Doubtful（怀疑）。通读全文我们不难

发现作者对“工作第一”经济持怀疑的态度。

7、Howdoyouunderstandthesentence"Noteventhehumblesthouseholdobjectis

A、onlythecheapesthouseholdobjectismadewithamicroprocessor.

B、Everyhouseholdobjectismadewithamicroprocessor.

C、onlythecheapesthouseholdobjectismadewithoutamicroprocessor.

D、Exceptforthecheapesthouseholdobject,everythingismadewithamicroprocessor.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：如何理解“甚至最便宜的家庭用品也非要设计成带微处理器的根据

这句话定位到原文最后段第三、四句"Auknuobilcinakcisnolungerinaiiulautuic

cheapmodels,anddevelopersdonotbuildthetinybungalowsthatservedthefirstpost­

wargenerationofhomebuyers.Noteventhehumblesthouseholdobjectismade

withoutamicroprocessor自车制造商不再生产廉价类型的汽车，市房地产开发商们

也不再建造适用于战后第一代购房者需求的那类狭窄的带阁楼的小平房了。甚至最

便宜的家庭用品也非要没计成带微处理器的）"，选项B）符合题意。

8、Whatcanweinferfromthelastparagraph?

A、Low-incomeworkerswithtime-consumingjobswillenjoyafruitfulmateriallifein

BNLow-incomeworkerswithmoreleisuretimewillenjoyafruitfulmateriallifeinthe

USA.

C、High-incomejobsworkerswithtime-consumingjobswillenjoyafruitfulmaterial

lifeintheUSA.

D、High-incomeworkerswithmoreleisuretimewillenjoyafruitfulmateriallifeinthe

USA.

标准答案：C

知识点3析：从本文最后一段可以得出什么结论。原文最后一段大意是美国人对物

质需要的市场全被扭曲了，汽车制造商们不再生产廉价的汽车，而房地产开发商也

不再建造小平房了，甚至最便宜的家庭用品也非要设计成带微处理器的。美国的物

质只适用于高收入和长时间工作的社会。所以选项C）符合题意。

9、Forthefirstcenturyorsooftheindustrialrevolution,increasedproductivityled（o

decreasesin.

标准答案：workinghours

知识点解析：根据题干中的信息词Forthefirstcenturyorsooftheindustrial

revolution定位到原文第一段第一句"Forthefirstcenturyorsooftheindustrial

revolution,increasedproductivityledtodecreasesinworkinghours（在I：业革命的第

一个百年内，生产率的提高使得工作时间大大缩短）”，由此可得答案。

10、Indeed,thecurrenteconomicrecoveryhasgainedacertainamountofnotoriety

for:increasedproductionhasbeenalmostentirelydecoupledfromemployment.

Somefirmsareevendownsizingastheirprofitsclimb

标准答案：its"jobless”nature

知识点解析：根据题干中的信息词economicrecovery定位到原文第二段第三句

“Indeed,thecurrenteconomicrecoveryhasgainedacertainamountofnotorietyfor

itsjobless'nature：increasedproductionhasbeenalmostentirelydecoupledfrom

employment（的确，声名狼藉的缪就业，是伴随着目前的经济复苏一同来到的：生产

的增加几乎完全是原有就业人员完成的）”，由此可得答案。

11MostofthoseincentivesinvolvewhatEhrenbergcalls,quirksintheway

salariesandbenefitsareorganizedthatmakeitmoreprofitabletoask40employeesto

laboranextrahoureachthantohireonemoreworkertodothesame40-hourjob.

标准答案：thestructureofcompensation

知识点解析：根据题干中的信息词thoseincentives和Ehrenberg定位到原文第三段

第二句"MostofthoseincentivesinvolvewhatEhrenbergcallsthestructureof

compensation；quirksinthewaysalariesandbenefitsareorganizedthatmakeitmore

profitabletoask40employeestolaboranextrahoureachthantohireonemoreworker

todotheSame40-hourjob（这样做的主要动机是Ehrenberg所称的补偿架构；即匚资

与利润以一种特殊的方式组合在一起，因而让40名员工延长一小时工作与再雇用

一名工人工作40小时相比，前者的利润更大）”，由此得到答案。

48、[SI]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处填指示代词。文中第一句指出冰箱发明前就有食物储藏的方法，

如使用冰盒，后面则是由另一种方法，oiher一般使用为“one…theother”，此处用

不合适。

49、[S2]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：本题为句意推测题。本段中已说明冰盒是以前食物储藏的方法，后文

则介绍了蒸发式冷却盒。下句又用了docsnotevenuse"甚至不需要使用”，可知与

前句有联系，唯有ice此名词可选。

50、[S3]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此空格应填动词的被动态。文中说明隔层多孔且外侧有厚布，显然是

用来覆盖隔层的，故使用covered。

51、[S4]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：此处应填名词。通过上文的意思可知，冷却盒通过蒸发来进行冷却，

所以推知是通过水来冷却的，顶部和底部的容器装的应是水。

52、[S5]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此处空格作句子的主语。上句说明冷却盒应放置在室外，其目的自然

是通风，空气会穿过湿布使水蒸发。

53、[S6]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本空格应承动词原形。上文说明，经过通风和蒸发，可以确保冷却箱

内的温度比箱外的温度低好几度，stay此处是“保持”之意。

54、[S7]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：此处为系表结构，应填形容词。干扰最大的是cold,但cold是指零

下左右的情况，结合用水蒸发冷却的情况，用cool更合适，且后文还说不能保持

过长时间。

55、[S8]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处形容词修饰名词，应填名词。结合后文中的“inafreezer,

however,cankeepfoodsingoodconditionformonths（在冷冻箱中，能使食物在几个

月中保持良好）“可知是食物储存。

56、[S9]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：此处空格修饰season。由常识可知，某些植物在生长季节过后才需存

贮，生长季节完全可以吃新鲜的。

57、[S10]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此句与前句相对应。但stillinthefield（仍在田野里），表明在收获的

季节里进行储存准备，有利于食物保鲜。

十、阅读（常规阅读理解）（本题共70题，每题7.0

A、sprayedwithpesticides

D、exposedtoexcessivesunrays

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章的第一段第一句话说到：Evenplantscanrunafever,especially

whenthey'reunderattackbyinsectsordisease.换句话说就是在健康不佳时释放的能

量增加。显然，这里的“runafever”指的是植物释放的热量更多。A、B、D项在文

章中没有提及，故不选。

59>Inordertoapplypesticidesprayingprecisely,wecanuseinfra-redscanningto

A、estimatethedamagetothecrops

B、drawacolor-codedmap

C^measurethesizeoftheaffectedarea

D、locatetheproblemarea

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第一段最后一句话中使用了“ratherthan”这个短语，表达的是让农场

主可以准确地largel。larget在这里的意思是“锁定”，而locale表示的是“定位”，其

意思一样。扫描的主要目的在于让人们对准目标喷洒农药，而不是下“满天雨

60sFarmerscansaveaconsiderableamountofpesticideby.

A、resortingtospol-spraying

B、consultinginfra-redscanningexperts

C、transformingpoisonedrain

D、detectingcropproblemsatanearlydate

标准答案：A

知识点解析：解题的关键在于第二段中的最后一句话：Farmerscouldthenspot­

spray,using50to70percentlesspesticidethantheyotherwisewould.A项中的

“resortto”的意思是“借助于”,与短文中的use同义。B、C、D项在文中也提到，

但对农民节省农药似乎没有直接关系，或不是必须关系，故不选。

61、Theapplicationofinfra-redscanningtechnologytoagriculturemetwithsome

difficultiesdueto.

A、thelackofofficialsupport

itshighcost

C^thelackoffinancialsupport

D、itsfailuretohelpincreaseproduction

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第三段最后一句话给出了原因：ButonlyifPaleyfindsthefinancial

backingwhichhefailedtoobtain10yearsago.这里的backing与support意思相司。

可以看出，经济支持是也现在的问题，也是他十年前面临的问题。故选之。

62、Infraredscanningtechnologymaybebroughtbackintooperationbecauseof

A、thedesireoffarmerstoimprovethequalityoftheirproduce

B、growingconcernabouttheexcessiveuseofpesticidesoncrops

C、theforcefulpromotionbytheDepartmentofAgriculture

D^fullsupportfromagriculturalexpens

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第三段的第三句话提到了“renewedconcern”，是指人们对此重新开始

关心了。A项的内容在文中没有提及。C项中说到的农业部的强有力的推广与短

文有出入，短文只提到农业部一退休工作人员的观点。而D项中的内容并不是重

点，而且也未必完全正确，因为最后一段只说农业专家对该技术能发挥作用毫无怀

疑，但并未说他们对此全力支持。故选B。
