【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:A

第6题:C

第7题:B

第8题:A

【解析】1.细节事实题。第一段指出:112个月前，露露柠檬公司还是世界上炙手可热的品牌之一。它的昂贵的瑜咖装备的销量激增,但是之后消费者们开始抱怨容易起球的布料，会褪色的染料，以及最显著的瑜伽裤子实在太薄了，以至于当你弯腰时裤子实际上就变得透明。露露柠檬公司的创始人的言论使得情况雪上加霜，他暗指一些女性是因为太胖，才穿不下公司的衣服。由此推测D项正确。

2.词义题。第一段最后一句中的“deceleratemeaningfully.”最可能指代“公司的销售减速”，由此它的反义词是“加速”。

3.细节事实题。根据第二段第二句“Butbrandshaveneverbeenmorefragile.但是品牌从未像如今这般脆弱不堪”及第三句“Thereasonissimple:consumersaresupremelywellinformedandfarmorelikelytoinvestigatetherealvalueofproductsthantorelyonlogos.理由很简单：现在的消费者消息非常灵通，与其依赖品牌形象，更愿意去调查产品的真实价值”知D项“暗示这种观念正在渐渐过时"正确。

4.细节事实题。第二段:Whenconsumershadtorelyonadvertisementsandtheirpastexperiencewithacompany,brandsservedasproxiesforquality(当消费者不得不依赖广告以及他们在该公司的购物体验时，品牌起到了产品质量代言人的作用),以及后面指出:...sobrandloyaltywasawayofreducingrisk.所以品牌忠诚度是一个降低风险的方式,由此可知知C项“经验教会他们信任品牌，以减少犯代价昂贵的错误的可能性”正确。

5.细节事实题。第三段指出:Butwhathasreallyweakenedthepowerofbrandsistheinternet,whichhasgivenordinaryconsumerseasyaccesstoexpertreviews,userreviewsanddetailedproductdata,inanarrayofcategories(然而真正削弱了品牌力量的是互联网，网络使得普通消费者也可以很容易地获取分门别类的专业评价、用户评价，以及详细的产品数据),以及后面:Theriseofsocialmediahasacceleratedthetrendtoanastonishingdegree:...(社交媒体的出现己在一个令人惊讶的程度上假设了这种趋势（即削弱了品牌力量的趋势)，由此可知A项“已成为互联网削弱品牌忠诚度的一个主要因素”正确。

6.推理判断题。根据第四段第六句“Andthishasmadecustomerloyaltyprettymuchathingofthepast.这导致消费者忠诚度的讲法成为过去”及第五段中“Thisisn'ttrueacrosstheboard:brandsretainvaluewherethebrandassociationisintegraltotheexperienceofaproduct（Coca-Cola,say）,这并非一概而论：品牌保留价值，因为品牌联想是产品体验不可或缺的一部分(如可口可乐)”知C项“在品牌作为营销工具的未来价值上貌似存在持续的争议”正确。

7.推理判断题。由第五段中“Thisisn’ttrueacrosstheboard:brandsretainvaluewherethebrandassociationisintegraltotheexperienceofaproduct（Coca-Cola,say）这并非一概而论：品牌保留价值，因为品牌联想是产品体验不可或缺的一部分(如可口可乐)”知A项“暗示互联网的出现，尤其是社交媒体的出现使基于品牌的商业失败”的说法过于绝对；第五段:Forestablishedbrandsthisisanightmare.Youcannevercoastonpastperformance...(对已确定的品牌而言，这是一个噩梦，你决不能不费力气或没有麻烦地依靠你之前的功绩),由此可知C项“认为他例举的趋势将让大企业更容易继续去支配消费者市场”不正确。D项“认为企业将能利用互联网去设计更能有效地反应消费者喜好的产品”在文中没有提及。第六段:Forconsumersthisisideal:theyaremakingbetterchoices,andheightenedcompetitionhasraisedqualityandhelddownprices(对消费者而言，他们在在做更好的选择，提高的竞争提升了产品的质量且也降低了产品价格)。可知B“认为消费者通过大量获取互联网上的产品信息而正受到得到更好的服务”正确。

8.推理判断题。根据第六段中“AndtheKoreancarmakerHyundaihasgonefrombeingajoketosellingfourmillioncarsayear.而且，韩国汽车生产者现代集团己从一个笑话变成一个每年销售四百万汽车的企业”知A项“曾经声誉不好，但现在在它的行业却获得了成功”正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第3题:D

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】21.主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句aglobalcreditglut—gainedmoreground（全球信贷过剩——得到了更多的支持），后文对此展开讨论，根据文章最后一句Specifically,globalcreditcreationbytheregularandshadowbankingsystemsislikelytobesignificantlylargerthanthesumofthecreditcreationcurrentlymeasuredbynationalstatistics.（具体来说，常规银行和影子银行系统在全球创造的信贷很可能远远大于目前国家统计数据所衡量的信贷创造总量。），可知文章在预测全球信贷过剩，所以B选项“即将到来的全球信贷过剩”正确。A选项“信贷过剩还是储蓄过剩”：这只是文章开头的不同观点来引入主题，不是主要内容，故错误。C选项“常规银行系统和影子银行系统”和D选项“货币和金融稳定”：都是主要内容的部分内容，故错误。因此B选项正确。

22.语义推测题。根据第五段第二句InvestmentfundsotherthanMMFsaccountfor29%oftotal,andSIVsmakeup9%（除MMFs之外的投资基金占总数的29%，SIVs占9%），可知B选项“结构性投资工具（SIVs）”包含在内，故错误。根据第五段最后一句andtheircombinedcreditcreationandproprietarytradingandhedgingmayaccountformuchofthegloballiquidityflows（它们的信贷创造、自营交易和对冲交易可能是全球流动性流动的主要原因），可知C选项“联合信贷创造”和D选项“自营交易和对冲基金”包含在内，故错误。A选项“货币市场基金”没有提到，因此A选项正确。

23.事实细节题。根据第三段第一句between2002and2007,theshadowbankingsystemincreasedby$33trillion,morethandoublinginassetsizefrom$27trillionto$60trillion（2002年至2007年间，影子银行体系增加了33万亿美元，资产规模从27万亿美元增至60万亿美元，增加了一倍多），可知D选项“60万亿美元”正确。A选项“17.4万亿美元”，B选项“27万亿美元”和C选项“3.9万亿美元”错误。因此D选项正确。

24.事实细节题。根据第四段第一句Theshadowbankingsystemisestimatedatroughly25%-30%oftheglobalfinancialsystem($250trillion,excludingderivatives)andathalfoftotalglobalbankingassets.（据估计，影子银行体系约占全球金融体系的25%-30%（250万亿美元，不包括衍生品），占全球银行业总资产的一半。），可知全球银行业总资产应为250*25%*2=125，所以D选项“120万亿美元”正确。A选项“250万亿美元”，B选项“5.4万亿美元”和C选项“33万亿美元”错误。因此D选项正确。

25.词义辨析题。proprietarytrading意思为自营交易，C选项“使用公司自己的资本”符合意思，所以正确。A选项“发型”，B选项“套利交易”和D选项“高频交易（HFT）”错误。因此C选项正确。

6.单选题

第9题:C

第10题:B

【解析】1.【试题解析】考查习惯搭配。Focuson“专注于”。结合此处语义，C为正确答案。

2.【试题解析】考查语法。由空格所在这句话的结构是完整的判断出此处考查强调句：itis...that...。结合此处语境，A为正确答案。

3.【试题解析】考查固定短语。playavitalrole“起重要作用”。结合此处语境，D为正确答案。

4.【试题解析】考查语法。空格处作定语修饰groups，结合语境，B为正确答案。interested“感兴趣的；有利害关系的”。

5.【试题解析】考查语法。分析句子结构，本句话真正的主语为toexchangeinformation，空格处作形式主语，故选A。

6.【试题解析】考查形近词辨析。A选项geophysically“地球物理学地”；B选项geotropically“屈地性地”；C选项geometrically“几何学上地”；D选项geographically“在地理上；地理学上”。根据句意，D选项正确。

7.【试题解析】考查短语辨析。A选项anyway“以任何方式”；B选项bytheway“顺便说说，顺便问一下；在途中”；C选项innoway“决不”；D选项intheway“妨碍；挡道”。根据句意，C选项正确。

8.【试题解析】考查语法。综合考虑，空格处和to构成动词不定式表将来，本句为系表结构，主语和表语为被动关系，因此B为正确答案。本句句意为：……但是总是有更多问题有待处理。

9.【试题解析】考查语法。结合句子结构，此处为非限定性定语从句，需要一个关键词引导，作为状语修饰关键词conference，因此C为正确答案。

10.【试题解析】考查主谓一致。主语aconference为单数，句子时态为一般现在时，故B为正确答案。

8.单选题

）areasinJapaneselife.

问题1选项

A.sophisticated

B.competitive

C.considerate

D.superficial

【答案】B

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。sophisticated“久经世故的；复杂的”；competitive“有竞争力的”；considerate“体贴的”；superficial“肤浅的”。句意：因为有一个好的大学文凭就能找到一个更好的工作，所以教育是日本生活中最具有竞争力的领域之一。选项B符合题意。

9.单选题

）theclosingofallrecreationfacilitiesforsuchgames.

问题1选项

A.assists

B.acknowledges

C.advocates

D.admits

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词词义辨析。A项assist表示“帮助，协助”；B项acknowledge表示“致谢，承认”；C项advocate表示“提倡，拥护”；D项admit表示“承认，容许”。根据句中against可知作者反对电子游戏，所以应该支持closingtherecreationfacilities。句意：琼斯先生强烈反对电子游戏，提倡关闭所有的电子游戏娱乐设施。故本题正确答案为C。

【答案】光棍节源于上世纪90年代的中国大学生中，对于没有浪漫伴侣的人来说，这是另一个情人节。时间是11月11日或者11•11——4个单身。单身的年轻人彼此之间聚餐或者送礼物给那个特别的人来结束他们的单身状态。

送礼物把光棍节变成了一个重要的购物活动，从珠宝到电视到汽车等的销售商们都从中看到了商机，并推出了光棍节销售活动。光棍节相当于美国的“网络星期一”，即感恩节周末后的一天，网上圣诞节购物开始，商人们开始了他们繁忙的销售日。
