B、challengethecontrolofCorzine'soversight

C、criticizethefaultofCorzine'sprofessionaljob

D、exposetheinjusticeofCorzine'sglobalpolicy

標準答案：A-

知識點解析：本題考查全文主旨。結合標題和文章內容，A句概括了本文的主題。

20TheMFGlobafsbankruptcy.

A>initiatestheabruptreformsofthegovernmentregulation

B、arousestheself-inspectionofthegovernmentregulation

C、triggersthechain-reactionoftheEuropeanbankingsystem

D>startstheoverallcollapseoftheEuropeanbankingsystem

標準答案：C

知識點解析：依靠“MFGlobalbankruptcy”定位在第一段第三行，得知它的破產產

生了多米諾效應。故C符合題意。

21、Theunderlinedexpressioninthe2ndparagraphindicatesthatCorzineistoo

A、cynical

B、greedy

C、arrogant

D、ambitious

標準答案：B

知識點解析；第二段的前兩句羅列了人們從Corzine失敗得到的啟示和教訓。畫線

部分指出他失敗的原因之一是因為“貪婪

A、aconfidentialthinktankeroftheDemocrats

B、akeycandidatealternativefortheDemocrats

C、amajorfinancialresourcefortheDemocrats

D^acrucialpoliticalsupporteroftheDemocrats

標準答案：C

知識點解析：定位詞“Republicans”指向第二段最后一句，但“Republicans”對此事件

不輕易放過去的原因在前一句，故C正確。

23>CorzinestainedthereputationofGoldmanSachsinthatheisnot.

A、competentasachiefexecutive

insistentasareformpromoter

C、faithfulasabusinesspartner

D、qualifiedasafinancialexpert

標準答案：D

知識點解析：此題的“stained”是線索詞，指向第三段。第三段進一步分析了為什么

Corzine的失敗玷污了GoldmanSachs的名聲。文中說他是"aformerC.E.0”,故

可排除A。B和C在文中沒有直接表述，也不符合題意，只有D符合推理。

1、【RI】

標準答案：E

知識點解析：文章開頭提出，大多數人都把通貨膨脹與單個產品或服務的價格上漲

聯系起來，而句E認為：“一杯咖啡的價格上漲不能證明發生了通貨膨脹?！边@是對

第1句提出的人們對通貨膨脹錯誤認識的反駁，并且接著3句提出：“我們必須仔

細區分單個產品的價格上漲與通貨膨脹的差別”，說明單個產品的價格上漲不等于

通貨膨脹，因此E正確，

2、[R2]

標準答案：G

知識點解析：空缺的是第1段最后一句，前面敘述了單個產品價格上漲不是通貨膨

脹，而句G提出：“通貨膨脹是價格平均水平的上漲，而不是單個價格的上漲.”

文章先從錯誤的認識入手，然后加以反駁，進而提出正確的認識，使人印象更加深

刻。

3、[R3]

標準答案：F

知識點解析：第2段第1句提出“如果想要知道超市里水果的平均價格”，很顯然這

是一個隱藏的問題，即如何知道水果的平均價格，按照人們正常的邏輯思維，有問

題就會有相應的答案。句F說：“很顯然你不可能挑選出你經常吃的水果——沒人

知道你到底在想什么“，找水果的平均價格不能從一般水果開始，因為這是不存在

的。下文的“however”是一個轉折，”如果找出蘋果、橘子、櫻桃、桃這些水果的

價格倒是可行的也就是句F先否定了一些錯誤的想法，為下文的正確做法做鋪

墊。

4、[R4]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：句4之前提出了如何計算水果的平均價格，但計算水果的平均價格有

什么用呢?句H提出：“每天計算水果的平均價格就可以發現是否水果的平均價格

在變化。”這是計算水果平均價格的下一步。

5、[R5]

標準答案：c

知識點解析：第3段開頭提出：“測量整個經濟的通貨膨脹就是用這樣的方法。先

確定整個產品的平均價格水平，然后看這個平均水平有沒有變化?！钡€沒有提到

什么樣的變化才是通貨膨脹，因此句C”平均價格的上漲就是通貨膨脹”正確。

6、[R6]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：第4段開頭提出，“平均價格水平也有可能下降渝B“平均價格的下

降就是通貨緊縮”與前一句緊密相關，為正確答案。

7、[R7]

標準答案:A

知識點解析：此處缺少的是段落的主題句。第2句是舉例說明如果蘋果的價格上漲

而其他水果的價格下降，則水果的平均價格不變。既然是舉例就是對上一句的具體

說明，因此缺少的句子應該是對這種現象的概括。句A意為：“由于通貨膨脹和通

貨緊縮是以平均價格水平來衡量的，有可能單個產品價格變化而不影響平均價格水

平?！憋@然句A為正確答案。

8、[R8]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：前一句提到“如果蘋果的價格上漲而其他水果的價格下降，則水果的

平均價格不變句D提到“在這種情況下，變化的是相對價格而非平均價格”。最

后一句提到“蘋果的相對價格提高只是說明蘋果比其他水果貴“，是解釋相對價格

的。由單個水果價格上漲與平均價格的關系，提到相對價格，進而對相對價格做出

解釋，層層相扣，因此D為正確答案。
