41.B
解析:本题需要找出文章的首段,可用排除法做。首先A 选项中提到“the first and more important…”中的 “more” 应该在前文中提到,故排除。B选项首句就提出了欧洲食品零售所面临的问题,根据文章结构法:提出问题-分析问题-解决问题,此段符合首段要求,即提出了文章的中心问题,而且本选项中也没有明显的需要和上文衔接的关系词,而其它选项都有明显的与上文衔接的信息词,不能在首段出现,故B为正确答案。
42.F
解析:首段一旦确定,本段内容便可根据上文顺藤摸瓜,第一段最后一句话“but”后指出了虽然食品零售商面临着“at a standstill (几乎停止发展)”的问题,他们却忽略了一个潜在的市场即他们身边的 “wholesale food and trade(食品批发市场)”。而F 选项首句便举例说明法国、德国、意大利等国家的食品批发产业的市场规模比食品零售产业要大40%。而且在“moreover”后又进一步说明批发的利润大零售很多。因此可以判断此选项是对第一段的例证说明。其中 “for example” 是明显的信息提示词。
43.D
解析:上段介绍了食品批发商的优势,而D选项第一句“All in all, this clearly seems to be a market in which…” 则对上文的内容进行总结,其中all in all 是较明显的信息提示词,即上文中提到的食品批发的优势推出这是明显对于 “big retailers that master the intricacies of wholesaling”是一个“market”。因此D项为正确答案。
44.G
解析:上段最后一句提出的“particular abilities” 以及“new skills and unfamiliar business models are needed.” , 即零售商需要新的技能及不熟悉的商业模式。而G选项第一句提到的 “these requirements(这些要求)”正是指上文所提到的技能。
45.A
解析:此题可以用排除法做,所剩下的选项只有A和C,需要注意的是本题并没有明显的信息词,所以需要阅读选项的内容进而找出正确答案。此题前文的已知段落E选项中最后一句“two opposing trends”在A选项中得到了体现,即一方面由于人们选择在外就餐而扩大了食品批发的需求,而另一方面人们又开始感到“anxious(焦虑)”。而C选项第一句提到的“such variations”在上文中并没有得到体现,因此可以断定A为正确答案。
Part C
46. Scinentists jumped to the rescue with some distinctly shaky evidence to the effect that insects would eat us up if birds failed to control them.
解析:句子的主干是“scientists jumped to the rescue with some distinctly shaky evidence”,后接that 引导的同位语从句。If引导的条件状语从句修饰that从句。to the effect that大意是,意思是; fail to 未能; jump to立即,赶快 the rescue营救,援救,解救。
参考译文:科学家们立即拿出某些明显站不住脚的证据前来救驾,大致说的是如果鸟儿不能控制害虫的话,害虫就会把我们吃掉。
47. but we have at least drawn near the point of admitting that birds should continue survival as a matter of intrinsic right, regardless of the presence or absence of economic advantage to us.
解析:句子主干we have drawn near the point。介词短语of admitting that...作定语修饰point。其中嵌套了that从句作admit的宾语从句。regardless of...作让步状语。a matter of .....的问题,大约;draw near 接近,靠近;intrinsic right天生的权利,固有的权利;economic advantage经济利益,经济优势。
参考译文:但是我们至少已经几乎承认了这样一种观点:不管鸟类对我们是否有经济利益,生存都是它们的固有权利。
48. Time was when biologists somewhat over worded the evidence that these creatures preserve the health of game by killing the physically weak,or that they prey only on “worthless species.
解析:主干time was when...。when引导了表语从句。Time was when可看作固定短语,译为“从前,曾经”。注意两个并列同位语从句的翻译。
参考译文:曾几何时,生物学家总是重述以下的这条证据:这些生物通过捕食弱小的动物去维持生物链的正常运行,或它们只是去捕食“没有价值的物种”。
49. In Europe, where forestry is ecologically more advanced, the non-commercial tree species are recognized as members of native forest community, to be preserved as such, within reason.
解析:句子的主体是“the noncommercial tree species are recognized as members of the native forest community”,包含被动语态。句子开头是一个where引导的定语从句,to be preserved是修饰noncommercial tree species的成分。Within reason合情合理的,理智的。注意被动语态的处理。
参考译文:欧洲的林业从生态上讲较为先进,它把没有成为商业化对象的树种视为原始森林群落的成员而适当地加以保护。
50. It tends to ignore, and thus eventually to eliminate, many elements in the land community that lack commercial value, but that are essential to its healthy functioning.
解析:句子主干“It tends to ignore many elements”;两个that从句意思上转折,句法上为并列的定语从句,修饰the land community。注意插入语、定语从句以及代词指代的处理。
参考译文:这一体系容易忽视并最终消灭很多缺乏商业价值的物种,然而这些物种对于整个生物群落的健康运行是至关重要的。

审题谋篇:
本题为图画作文,图片上是一个热气腾腾的火锅,里面包括着诸如“儒学”,“解构”,“人本”,“莎士比亚”,“功夫”等中西文化标志词。下面有一行注释。在审题构思时应该注意:把握好这幅图的象征寓意。火锅中包含着各种各样的文化元素,代表了不同文化的和谐融合,民族的文化可以成为世界的,这一趋势对人类发展是有利的。由此可见,本次作文的主题是文化融合。
提纲包括两点,一是描述图片并解释含义,二是对此现象作出评论。文章也可分为三段,第一段:描述图画,描述图片中的各类文化元素。可能用到的词汇是literature,(文学) moral values(道德价值)performing arts(表演艺术)等。
第二段:阐释图片含义。最好在段首设置主题句,然后围绕主题句展开。本图片中所显示的文化交流反映了两方面的情况,中国文化对世界文化的渗透,中国的腾飞无疑使中国文化这颗世界文化中的瑰宝更加耀眼。另一方面,中国文化也逐渐受到其他国家文化的影响。
第三段:对此现象做出评论。此评论部分可以提出建议,考虑背景及原因,或描述未来,预测未来,也可以讲世界文化融合、交流是时代的潮流,同时还要保持和振兴各族文化。
参考范文:
The enlightening picture portrays that a hot pot, with numerous ingredients in it, includes such domestic and alien cultures as literature, moral values and performing arts. It seems that the hot pot tastes very delicious because of the rich nutrition of the multi-cultural elements.
Obviously, the picture characterizes the status quo of Chinese society in which Chinese and Western culture conflict with each other but also merge into a unique form to a certain degree. Since China has opened its door widely to the outside world, many people from different countries have been deeply fascinated by Chinese culture. They will accept and love the Chinese culture as a whole. In addition, Chinese culture should be well shared with foreign people, who have shown their enthusiasm towards China. Meanwhile, the Chinese people are also exposed to foreign cultures when more foreign people come to this oriental country. In this way people from various nations in the world will be able to acquire better understanding of each other and live peacefully in this world.
In my opinion, the culture of any nation is a kind of precious heritage, and belongs to the whole mankind. With economic globalization, the blending of different cultures has become an inevitable trend of the time. No country is an isolated island, be it China or the western world. The clearer we grasp the current situation, the more it would be beneficial to the global villagers.
