6、rges and import duties. 分析 语义逻辑推理判断。根据原文可知 , 对于美国海外资本家来说使用外国劳力 ,尤其是亚洲国家的劳力费用非常低。 而这些国家 却从此得到先进技术 , 生产尖端产品。这些产品 , 即使在增加运费和进口税的水平上仍可与美国国内制造 的 产品竞争。由此可见海外美国人使用亚洲劳力制造的产品 , 即使有运费和进口税的压力 ,仍然可与美国外乡制造的产品竞 争。显然这与题干中所言进口美国的商品免除税费的说法不相符。因此 ,题干的说法是 错误的。解题关键淳握短语含义。原文中“allowing for意为"将计算在内而题干中“the exemption

7、of 意为“免除，二者含义正好相反。3.States should respect international law even if some people are skeptical about its power to be enacted.分数：2.00 A. 正确 VB. 错误解析： 解析 It is significant that those who regard international law as a form of morality usually speakof it as "mere morality". Although experienced

8、 diplomats do not often share the popular skepticism about international law, there is a danger that the popular attitude may affect inexperienced officials and pressure groups within a state, and that the state may, as a result, be pushed into breaking international law. 分析 因果关系的理解和推断。 原文认为公众对国际法的疑

9、心态度会影响国内那些经验尚不丰富的官员和重要的集团， 其结果便是，这种 疑心态度会导致违反国际法。由此可推断，即使一些人对国际法持疑心态度，国家要尊重该法，才能 使国际法得以贯彻实施。显然，题干的含义符合对原文的推断，因此，该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 注意识别表因果关系的信号词，以便正确理解因果关系。原文中使用了“ as a result 。4.The international community should seek other effective methods in establishing economic global governance instead of relyin

10、g on the WTO. 分数： 2.00 A. 正确B. 错误 V 解析： 解析 Asking for a WTOfocused on its trade mission is not to neglect the importance of the other problems the institution has been asked to deal with.

12、bal governance 即“建立经济的全球管理方式 " ，显然题干 所言的目的与原文不相符，因此，该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 掌握表示目的的信号词，有助于快速理解语义。原文中信号词为最后一句中动词不定式短语；而题目中为介词 in 短语。5.Economists attribute the world soybean boom to the rise in soybean production in China andits increased export of related products.分数： 2.00 A. 正确B. 错误 V 解析： 解析 Economists

14、ome years of whole soybeans as well as oil and meal byproducts. 分析 因果关系的理解和判断。根据原文，文中把全球大豆畅销的原因归结为“ the emergence of a middle class in China 即“中国中产阶级的出现 ， 而题干中却将其原因归结为“ the rise i ll soybean production in China and its increased export of related products即“中国大豆产量的增加和相关产品出口的增加，显然该说 法与原文不符，因此，该题的说法是错误

16、tion's young to revamp their dreams for the good life. Many of the nation's young people are convinced that, despite the economy's steady climb out of recession, they will get only a tiny share of the spreading prosperity or nothing at all. 分析 根据上下文线索猜想词义。 该题的关键是根据原文上下文线索猜想出单词“ revamp&qu

17、ot; 的含义。原文中“ Scarce jobs, fewer promotions, soaring costs for shelter and other necessities ，即“匮乏的工作时机，越来越少的 升迁时机，飞涨的物价 " ，由此可推测这些因素应该改变 (revamp) 年轻人对美好生活所怀有的梦想，这与 题干的说法 相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 1) 将原文中关键词进行归纳总结， 与选项对照，可得出正确答案； 2) 理解选项中关键词含义，如理解 revamp 的含义。(2) .Such awful losses of human life in t

18、he Iranian quake should not have occurred.(分数： 1.20 )A. 正确 VB. 错误解析： 解析 Consider three major recent California earthquakes: Loma Prieta in 1989, with a 6.9 magnitude, Northridge in 1994, with a 6.7 magnitude, and San Simeon/Paso Robles on December 22, 2003, with a 6.5 magnitude. These relatively str

19、ong earthquakes in California resulted in a total of 125 deaths, while this week's Iranian quake, with a somewhat lesser magnitude, claimed 40,000 lives. 分析 隐含事实的推测。 将原文中有关加利福尼亚和伊朗地震的数字信息作比拟，可知隐含的事实是：伊朗的地震远 没有加利福尼亚的厉害，但造成的人员伤亡损失却远远超过后者。由此可推测作者认为，伊朗地震造成如此沉重的人员 伤亡本可防止。这与题干的说法相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键

20、正确识别并判断数字信息。(3) .Gaddafi made headlines in 1998 by surrendering two Libyan suspects who plotted the bombing of an American jumbo jet.

21、can jumbo jet over-Lockerbie in southern Scotland in which 270 people died. 分析 特定信息的找寻和判断。 此题要求通过特定的数字信息，寻找具体事实。原文提到“Gaddafi.made headlinessix years ago "，但并未提那就是 1988 年，原文中关于 1988 年的说法那么是“ .the two Libyan suspects in the 1988 bombing of an American jumbo jet." ，由此可知，两个利比亚人涉嫌于 1988 年炸毁美国一架

22、珍宝喷气客机，这与题干中“ Gaddafi made headlines in 1998."的说法不符，因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 正确识别数字信息。(4) .Organic foods are accepted by most nutritionists.(分数： 1.20 )A. 正确B. 错误 V 解析： 解析 Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed foo

Advocates of organic foods frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others. 分析 观点态度的判断。此题要求判断说话者对 organic food 的观点态度。 由原文“ The advantages claimed for such foods.are being debated. 可判断作者并非趋向支持该种食品的优势，或接受该种食品。由此可见，题干中该种食 品为很多的营养学家 所接受的

24、说法是没有根据的，因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 善于根据原文中的信息判断说话者的观点。(5) .The removal of the president was a very dangerous and unconstitutional example for other democratic countries.分数： 1.20 A. 正确 VB. 错误解析： 解析 The circumstances under which the president left office set a dangerous precedent for democratically elected go

25、vernments everywhere, as it promotes the unconstitutional removal of duly elected persons from office. 分析 因果关系判断。 原文因果关系中原因局部是句子的前半局部，即主句局部：这种情况下的总统离任给全世界任 何民主选举 的政府形成危险的先例； 结果局部是原句后半部 as 引导的从句局部， 即：这种离任促动了正式选举出 的人不合法律地离职。这与题干的说法相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 掌握通过信号词判断上下文意义的逻辑结构，如as 表示前后局部 - 为因果关系。二、Part n 总

28、 难点 此题难度较大 , 需要笔记的辅助再加上细心的读题。根据第一句中的“another down day 和“ ending a downweek' , 可以得出选项 a 是正确的。选项 b 与“ consumer prices rose a little bit more" 相反, 故不正 确。而选项 c 与“ the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates相反 , 故也不正确。选项d 与“ that has investors worried' 不符,故不正确。A.B. VC.D.解析： 解析 Hi, everyone, as
