Question 1
正确答案: I
题干关键词:in the future
原文定位:I段第一句”… has far to go.”和最后一句”Bringing these barriers would help…”
解析:”in the future”对未来改进贸易的建议,根据段落主旨可以判定在文章末尾。”has far to go”对应”in the future”,” Bringing these barriers”就是建议,所以答案是I。
Question 2
正确答案: F
题干关键词:effects, electronic delivery
原文定位:F段第3句“...simply by transmitting it over telephone lines…”
解析:effects涉及某一应用带来的影响,所以大致定位到E,F,G三段。electronic delivery与information industries相关,可基本确定为F段。transmit something over telephone lines与electronic delivery对应,所以答案是F。
Question 3
正确答案: E
题干关键词:similar cost , abroad, local
原文定位:E段第4行”…not face hugely bigger freight bills if they import drives from Singapore rather than purchasing them on the domestic market.”
解析:not face hugely bigger freight bills对应similar cost,Singapore对应abroad,domestic 对应local,该定位句的含义与题干完全符合,因此答案是E。
Question 4
正确答案: D
题干关键词:weakening relationship, value of goods, cost of delivery
原文定位:D段第2句”… world output has shifted into goods whose worth is unrelated to their size and weight.”
解析:题干的意思是产品价值与运输成本之间弱化的关系。运输成本与货物的大小和重量有关,定位句中的size and weight 在逻辑上可替换 cost of delivery。Unrelated to 对应 weakening relationship,所以答案是D。
Question 5
正确答案: TRUE
题干关键词:international trade, greater rate, world economy
原文定位:A段第2句“While global economy has … , the volume of trade has…”
解析:题干表达的是international trade与world economy增长速度的比较,所以应该注意表达比较的词。While后面跟的句子就是两者的比较,意思相符,所以答案是TRUE。
Question 6
正确答案: FALSE
题干关键词:cheap labour
原文定位:B段最后1句“Cheap labour may make Chinese…,trade may lose its advantages”
解析:根据关键词很快cheap labour找到定位句,may lose its advantages与题干给的guarantees effective trade conditions含义不符,所以答案是FALSE。
Question 7
正确答案: NOT GIVEN
题干关键词:Janpan, meat, steel , France
原文定位:C段第1句“...agriculture and manufacturing…, Italy and France, …, Britain and Japan”
解析:根据定位句,原文确实提到农业和制造业占法国和日本各自总产量的比重,但是没有提及具体行业meat和steel的产量在这两国的比重,更没有提到关于两者的比较。所以原文没有给出相关信息,答案是NOT GIVEN。
Question 8
正确答案: TRUE
题干关键词:trade with nearby nations
原文定位:D段第一句”Countries still trade disproportionately with their geographic neighbours.”
解析:still 对应题干里的prefer to, geographic neighbours对应题干里的nearby nations。原文的含义是各国与其邻国间的贸易仍然是比例失调的,即各国和邻国的贸易量远多于和非邻国的贸易量。所以题干与原文含义相符,因此答案是TRUE。
Question 9
正确答案: NOT GIVEN
题干关键词:small computer components
原文定位:E段第1句“Most of the world’s disk-drive manufacturing is concentrated in South-east Asia.”
解析:解析:首先定位到E,根据E段提供的信息,大部分的电脑配件之一硬盘都在东南亚生产。而并没有提到电脑零件在德国生产,因此文章中没有提及是否在德国生产小的电脑零件。因此答案应该是NOT GIVEN。
Question 10
正确答案: G
题干关键词: effect on, business of moving freight, increasingly streamlined
原文定位: E段第1句“To see how this influences trade…”
解析:this 承接上文,与 business of moving freight becomes increasingly streamlined对应,influence对应题干的effect,所以答案是influence之后的trade。
Question 11
正确答案: B
题干关键词:manufacturers of computers, import, overseas, rather than, local
原文定位: E段倒数第2句: “Computer manufacturers...if they import drives from Singapore rather than…on the domestic market.”
解析:题干中的关键词都能在原文的这句话中找到对应的词,文中import后面跟的词是drives,所以答案应该是和drives相关或相近的词,选项中符合的就是components,因此答案是B。
Question 12
正确答案: C
题干关键词:meant that,bulk cargo
原文定位:G段第2句“But, …known broadly as containerization and inter-model transportation has led to ... improvements in cargo-handling.”
解析:题干中的meant that表达的是一种因果关系,对应文中的led to,而led to后面跟的内容和题干符合。所以meant that前面的名词应该对应led to 前面的containerization 或者 inter-model transportation,因此答案是C。
Question 13
正确答案: A
题干关键词:governments, need to reduce
原文定位: H段第3句的“National governments…kept a much firmer hand on trunk and railroad tariffs…”。
解析:文中national governments与题干中的governments对应。并且H段的开头两句的转折关系也与题干的While对应,含义相符。所以答案就在第3句或它的附近。kept a much firmer hand on tariffs表示政府对tariffs管控地更严格,所以tariffs可以理解为是要reduce的对象,因此答案是A。
