countries.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案:B

知識點解析：本句的關健詞是Oldfear,尋讀時可定位文章的首段，后面的that從

句能確定就是此段內(nèi)容，稍加分析，就能判斷出新舊兩個觀點的內(nèi)容張冠李戴，因

此答案為No

3、Technologicalprogresshaspushedunemploymentratesintheindustrialcountriesto

somethinginexcessof95%.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：B

知識點解析：本題的關鍵是95%,尋讀找到相關位置處第4段尾句，原文

中出現(xiàn)失業(yè)率超過95%,是有前提條件的，而題干的時態(tài)說明這種情況已是既定

事實，因此應為N。

4、Totradewiththethirdworldismainlybecausethatitisfullofnaturalresources.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：C

知識點解析：本題的關鍵信息是Totradewiththethirdworld,尋讀原文至倒數(shù)第2

段,“ifthecaseagainsttradewiththethirdworldgainsgroundJ可知題干內(nèi)容與此毫

不相干，故應選NG。

richandpoorcountries.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：A

知識點解析：本題的關鍵詞是thewrongideasabouttheeconomicinteraction,尋讀

時，文章首段就已說明兩種錯的觀點，隨后行文中針對它們展開了具體的闡述，故

為Y。

6、Bothfearsexpresstheconvictionthatgrowthinonepartoftheworldmustsomehow

come.

標準答案：attheexpenseofanother

知識點解析：本題的關鍵詞是Bothfears和conviction,尋讀到文章第3段第2句，

就可找到信息點，因此答案為attheexpenseofanothero

7、Themostimportantpartofbothfallaciesisblindnesstoofamarketeconomy.

標準答案：theadaptivepower

知識點解析：本題的關鍵詞是Themostimportantpartofbothfallacies,尋讀到第5

段，會發(fā)現(xiàn)輔助信息"blindness”,所以最后確定答窠：theadaptivepower。

8、ManufacturingemploymentinAmericanowstandsatamereofthelabor-

force.

標準答案：15%

知識點解析：本題的關鍵信息是ManufacturingemploymentinAmerica,尋讀到文

章第5段后半部分，即可找到答案：15%。

9、TheeconomicbenefitstotheNorthfromfastergrowthinthethirdworldthe

costs.

標準答案：seemcertaintooutweigh/outweigh/overwhelm

知識點解析：本題的關健詞是“Theeconomicbenefils”和“costs”，尋讀到倒數(shù)第5段

就可確定二者間的關系，所以seemcertaintooutvvcigh/outwcigh/ovcrwhclm都可與

之符合。

10、onthedevelopingcountries'pathoutofpovertywouldbethecrimeofthe

century.

標準答案：Tobuildobstacles

知識點解析：本題的關鍵詞是“thecentury”，尋讀到最后一段倒數(shù)2句，不難得出
