【答案】中国周四公布了2009年的财政赤字预算为9,950亿元（1390亿美元），创下了60年的新高，因为该国增加了支出来缓冲全球金融危机的影响。

中国总理温家宝在年度会议的开幕式上说，中国的总赤字占不到中国国内生产总值的3%。

温家宝在发表政府工作报告时表示，尽管赤字激增，但中国前几年赤字持续下降，为今年发行更多债券提供了空间。

政府债券累计余额占GDP的百分之二十左右，是在我们的综合国力所能承受的范围内，因此是安全的。

2003年，中国近3倍的赤字预算总额达到了319.8亿元。

9500亿元的赤字预算几乎是中国上一次创记录的新高赤字的三倍——2003年为319.8亿元。如果中国经济增长在今年第二季度进一步减弱，就有必要增加支出。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节事实题。由第二段“Lastmonth,aProjectEntropiaplayerpaidthegame’screators$26,500foranislandinthegame’svirtualworld.(Hehopestorecoupthemoneythroughtheminingandsellingplotstootherplayers.)Thismonth,anUltimaOnlineplayersetupaschemetoletplayasdonateitemsandcurrencyfortsunamirelief.Currencyexchangesevenallowgamerstomovefundsfromonegametoanother.上个月，ProjectEntropia的一名玩家向游戏开发者支付了2.65万美元，购买了虚拟世界中的一座岛屿。(他希望通过开矿和卖地给其他玩家来收回这笔钱。)本月，一位名叫Ultima的在线玩家设立了一个计划，让playas为海啸救灾捐赠物品和货币。货币兑换甚至允许玩家将资金从一个游戏转移到另一个游戏。”可知在线游戏能够捐献资金给慈善事业，还可以卖掉游戏中的物品来换取钱，还可以兑换货币。故ABC三项在文中都有提及。答案D。

2.细节事实题。由第二段“Lastmonth,aProjectEntropiaplayerpaidthegame’screators$26,500foranislandinthegame’svirtualworld.(Hehopestorecoupthemoneythroughtheminingandsellingplotstootherplayers.)上个月，ProjectEntropia的一名玩家向游戏开发者支付了2.65万美元，购买了虚拟世界中的一座岛屿。(他希望通过开矿和卖地给其他玩家来收回这笔钱。)可知这名玩家想通过他买到的岛屿上的物品在网上做生意。故B项正确。

3.细节事实题。由第三段“Noteveryoneapproves:somegamesbanthesaleofgameitems,afewencourageit,butmostturnablindeye.并不是所有人都赞成:一些游戏禁止销售游戏产品，一些鼓励销售，但大多数都视而不见。”可知大多数游戏在销售游戏产品问题上持中立态度，故D项正确。

4.细节事实题。由第四段“Iftheearlystagesofagamearetedious,playersaremoreinclinedtoskipthembybuyingratherthanearningin-gameitems.WorldofWarcraftisfunrightfromthestart,whichseemstohavereduceddemandforin-gameitemsoneBay.如果游戏的早期阶段很乏味，玩家会更倾向于通过购买而不是赚取游戏中的物品来跳过这些阶段。《魔兽世界》从一开始就很有趣，这似乎降低了eBay上对游戏内置物品的需求。”可知B项“设计师可以让游戏的低级别变得有趣。”正确。

5.推理判断题。由最后一段“Yet,curbingthetradeofin-gameitemsisdefensible,sincegameeconomiesarcruntomaximizefun,notefficiency.然而，限制游戏内物品的交易是有道理的，因为游戏经济是为了最大化乐趣，而不是效率。”可知C项正确。

Butcareerplanningshouldhelpyouto(A)approachandcopebetterwithnewproblems,suchasdecidingwhetherornot(B)entereducationalortrainingprograms,changejobs,and(C)analyzethedifficultiesyouarehaving(D)withasituationoraperson.

【答案】C；“analyze”改为“analyzing”。

【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：但是职业规划应该帮助你更好地处理新问题，比如决定是否参加教育或培训项目，是否换工作，以及分析你正面临的与某种情况或某人有关的困难。根据句子结构，“and”连接并列的宾语成分，共同作“suchas”的宾语，所以“deciding…”和“analyze…”构成并列结构，在形式上须保持一致。所以将“analyze”改为“analyzing”。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】1.主旨大意题。文章主要从三个方面对伦敦男人和纽约男人进行对比，因此B选项“伦敦男人对纽约男人：谁更好？”这个标题能更好地表现本文比较的主题。

2.推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Londonmendressbetteringeneral,andlookamillionmilesbetterinsuits.Forsomereason,NewYorkersareobsessedwithboxy,ill-fittingsuitjackets,WallStreettypesbeingtheworstoffenders.”伦敦男人一般穿得更好，穿西装看起来更好看。出于某种原因，纽约人痴迷于方形的、不合身的西装夹克，华尔街的人是罪魁祸首。可推测纽约人穿着不讲究，因此B选项“纽约的商人不遵守着装规则”符合题意。

3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Asawoman,there’smoredangerofbeingsingleinNewYorksincemenwanttostay20intheirmindsforever,sowomendon’twanttocommiteither,becausetheyseealltheseimmaturedudesaround.”作为一个女人，在纽约单身的风险更大，因为男人想永远保持在20岁左右，所以女人也不想承诺，因为她们看到这些不成熟的男人。

可知纽约女性更有可能保持单身是由于男性心态不够成熟，因此A选项“她们不想嫁给一个不成熟的男孩”符合题意。

4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“ButLondonwomen?AvoidthesirensongoftheNewYorkmale....Yes,thatcharmingManhattanitejustromanticallyaskedyououtinthemiddleofthestreet.But,a)heasksouteverywomanwithapulse,and,b)heprobablyworksatadiscountshoestore.”可知作者给伦敦女人的警告之一是，你无法判断约你出去的纽约男人在哪里工作，因此D选项“很难分辨纽约男人是否有很好的工作”符合题意。

5.词义题。根据文章对纽约男人和伦敦男人的比较，提到的男子气概、穿着打扮和幽默，约女性出门等方面，可知他们有幽默感，是讨女性喜欢的类型。dude意为“纨绔子弟，花花公子”，因此选C。

【答案】我们可以把神秘的、不可知的未来塑造成我们所能想象到的任何东西，就像雕刻家将不成形的石头上雕刻成雕像一样。我们都站在农民的立场。如果我们播下好的种子，我们就会收获好收成。如果我们的种子贫瘠，杂草丛生，我们就会收获无用的庄稼。如果我们什么都不种，我们就什么也收获不了。

我希望未来比过去更美好。我不希望它会被那些充斥在过去中的错误与过失所污染。我们都应该关心未来，因为我们将在未来度过余生。

往昔已逝，静如止水。我们所能做的一切都改变不了它。未来就在我们面前，充满活力。我们所做的每一件都将会影响它。只要我们认识到这些，在我们的家中和在企业中，每一天都会带来新的领域。在人类努力开拓的每一片领域上，我们正处于进步的开端。
