　　B．go over專題限時(shí)訓(xùn)練(四)【要點(diǎn)綜述】 本文是一篇說明文。作者認(rèn)為身勢(shì)1．B　身勢(shì)語(yǔ)比語(yǔ)言表達(dá)的意思更響亮、更清楚。此處louder意為“聲音更大，更有說服力”。如：Facts speak louder than words.(事實(shí)勝于雄辯。)　據(jù)專家稱，我們的身體sound聲音；invitation邀請(qǐng)；feeling感覺；message信息。　實(shí)際上，非言語(yǔ)交際約占據(jù)了我們真正想表達(dá)的意思的50%的分量。hope希望；receive接收；discover發(fā)現(xiàn)；mean意思是。　當(dāng)我們進(jìn)行跨文化交流時(shí)，身勢(shì)語(yǔ)顯得尤為重要。immediate立刻的； misleading 誤導(dǎo)的；important重要的；difficult困難的。　下文中以拉丁美洲人和挪威人為例，說明不同的社會(huì)群體對(duì)待距離的態(tài)度是不同的。　即使是朋友，北歐人通常也不喜歡身體的接觸，當(dāng)然更不用說陌生人了。eye 眼睛，眼神；verbal 言辭的； bodily身體的；telephone電話。　即使是朋友，北歐人也通常不喜歡身體的接觸，當(dāng)然更不用說陌生人了。stranger陌生人；relative親戚；neighbour鄰居；enemy敵人。　在對(duì)話過程中，拉丁美洲人跟著挪威人滿屋子轉(zhuǎn)是可能的。trouble 麻煩；conversation對(duì)話； silence 沉默；experiment實(shí)驗(yàn)。　在對(duì)話過程中，拉丁美洲人跟著挪威人滿屋子轉(zhuǎn)是可能的。此處follow意為“跟著……走”。　拉丁美洲人靠得更近以示友好。　挪威人將不斷地后退。step forward前進(jìn) go on 繼續(xù)；back away后退；come out出來。　很顯然，當(dāng)人們談話時(shí)，許多東西都在進(jìn)行。　當(dāng)我們的伙伴來自于不同的文化背景時(shí)，產(chǎn)生誤解的可能性就會(huì)很大。不管什么樣的情景，最好的建議是遵守這樣的黃金規(guī)則：對(duì)待別人像你希望被對(duì)待的那樣。(你想別人怎樣對(duì)待你，你就怎樣對(duì)待別人。)【要點(diǎn)綜述】 本文講述了經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)導(dǎo)致居民消費(fèi)開支產(chǎn)生了自1980以來的最大幅度的下滑這一現(xiàn)象。　這促成了近三十年來最嚴(yán)重的經(jīng)濟(jì)下滑。submit to 服從；resort to 求助，訴諸；contribute to 有助于，促進(jìn)；extend to 延伸到。　consumer spending表示“消費(fèi)性支出”。　上半句說人們?cè)谧》縲hile。although 表示讓步；because表示原因；but 表示轉(zhuǎn)折。　instantly 立即，馬上；simultaneously 同時(shí)地；significantly 顯著地，重要地；actively積極地，活躍地。不難看出這里是說出國(guó)度假的人花費(fèi)也明顯減少了，因此選significantly。　pay cuts表示“減薪”，pay freezes表示“工資凍結(jié)”。dive潛水；halt停止；pause暫停，間歇。　calculate計(jì)算；accumulate

　　積累；express表達(dá)；show表明。這里表示“數(shù)據(jù)表明”，故選擇D項(xiàng)。　since 表示“從……以來”，上文提到員工們的補(bǔ)償金本季度下降了1.1%，這個(gè)下降的幅度是自1955年有記錄以來最大的，所以用since。　competition 競(jìng)爭(zhēng)；employment 就業(yè)；achievement 成就，成績(jī)；attraction吸引，吸引力。伴隨著工資的下降，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)肯定越來越激烈，失業(yè)的人也就越來越多，所以就業(yè)率就會(huì)下降。　release 發(fā)布，釋放；relieve 解除，減輕；relate 聯(lián)系，敘述；relax 放松。這里release表示“發(fā)布”。句意：這份數(shù)據(jù)是作為英國(guó)國(guó)家統(tǒng)計(jì)局這個(gè)組織對(duì)英國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)評(píng)估報(bào)告的一部分來對(duì)外發(fā)布的。　promote促進(jìn)，提升；justify證明……是合法的；confirm確認(rèn)，證實(shí)；advocate 提倡，主張。句意：這份數(shù)據(jù)證實(shí)了第一季度國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值下降了1.9%這一事實(shí)。　從后半句“the biggest annual fall since 1980”可以得出GDP肯定是比去年降低了4.1%，所以用lower。poor貧窮的；slim苗條的；weak虛弱的。　amazing令人驚異的depressing令人沮喪的；surprising令人驚訝的；puzzling令人費(fèi)解的。 　economy經(jīng)濟(jì)；finance財(cái)政；business商業(yè)；commerce貿(mào)易。這里應(yīng)該是對(duì)整個(gè)宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)的展望，所以用economy，其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)太過片面了。　in response to表示“響應(yīng)，反應(yīng)”，這里表示由于房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)、勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)以及銀行借貸的疲軟，導(dǎo)致家庭支出以及投資的大幅下降。　remain表示“依然，保持”，后面大多跟形容詞。maintain表示“維持，保持(已有的水平、標(biāo)準(zhǔn))”，這里表示“雖然由于房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)、勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)以及銀行借貸的疲軟而導(dǎo)致家庭支出以及投資的大幅下降，但是我們?nèi)匀徊幌嘈拧保赃@里用remain。【要點(diǎn)綜述】 閱讀本來是一個(gè)愉悅身心的活動(dòng)，但是忙碌的工作使人們遠(yuǎn)離了閱讀所帶來的樂趣。本文就如何開展有效的快速閱讀進(jìn)行了簡(jiǎn)單的說明。　本句意思是“如果想謀得一份差事”。apply需加for，意思是“申請(qǐng)”；do做； offer提供。此三項(xiàng)均不符合題意，只有g(shù)et(獲得)適合。　本句意為“快速閱讀與理解的能力，是關(guān)系到成敗的關(guān)鍵所在”。只有quickly與原意吻合。easily容易地；roughly 粗略地； decidedly果斷地。　由下文“Most of us develop poor reading…”可知此處選poor。其他選項(xiàng)不妥。　此處的意思是“大多數(shù)人早期養(yǎng)成不良的讀書習(xí)慣”。因此選habit“習(xí)慣”。training 訓(xùn)練，培訓(xùn)；situation形勢(shì)；custom風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。　此處說的是“主要的困難在于語(yǔ)言的自身要素，即單詞”。combine聯(lián)合；touch接觸；involve包括。這三項(xiàng)的詞義與原文不符。而lie與in構(gòu)成搭配，意為“在于”。　這里的意思是“如果單個(gè)some一些，少量的；a lot of許多；dull單調(diào)的。此三項(xiàng)不合題意。只有l(wèi)ittle(很少)是否定詞，合乎邏輯。　此句指“作者對(duì)未受過閱讀訓(xùn)練的人的不良習(xí)慣感到遺憾”。fortunately幸運(yùn)地；actually事實(shí)上；logically合乎邏輯地。unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句意。　此處意思為“在閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常重讀(反復(fù)讀)”。因此，選reread“重讀”。reuse再使用；rewrite改寫；recite背誦。C　scale down按比例減少；cut down削減。此兩項(xiàng)不合題意。 measures不能與down搭配。只有slow down“放慢”能否與后面的speed搭配。　根據(jù)上文可知，訓(xùn)練快速閱讀所使用的工具必然與提高閱讀速度有關(guān)，因此選accelerator (快讀器)。actor演員；amplifier放大器；observer觀察者。　前面的faster決定了此處應(yīng)當(dāng)選than，構(gòu)成比較級(jí)。　此句意為“快速閱讀器迫使你加快閱讀速度，使你再也不能逐字閱讀，回顧前文內(nèi)容或者默讀。”enable相當(dāng)于make possible；lead引導(dǎo)；indicate指出，表明。都不合題意。只有make (使得)最合適。　與前半句中的not only相呼應(yīng)，構(gòu)成句式not only…but…“but，而nor、or或for均不能與前面的not only搭配。　take與后面的for instance構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)，意為“以……為例”，其他三項(xiàng)不能與for instance構(gòu)成搭配。 　此處意為“在較短時(shí)間內(nèi)，讀完眾多的材料”。refer to參考；go over復(fù)習(xí)；set about著手做。此三項(xiàng)均不合題意；只有g(shù)et through “完成”最恰當(dāng)。
