此篇完型填空原文来源于2009年5月22日的卫报,原文链接http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/may/22/consumer-spending-falls-ons
通过阅读文章首句,可以得知文章的主要内容是关于英国家庭支出减少,英国经济的下滑。
67题,词义辨析题。英国家庭的消费减少,成为了经济下滑的一大影响因素,此空需要填一个表示因果关系的词,故选contribute, 意为为······作出贡献,有助于。 submit意为提交,resort求助于,extend延生。
68题,词义辨析题。根据上下文,此处为消费支出,故选consumer;此题还有一个切入口,第三段第一个词consumer,根据复现原则,此题选consumer。personnel意为全体员工,folk人们,client客户。
69题,连词题。空格前半句意为人们在住房、家庭商品及服务方面支出减少,后半句意为海外度假的人支出也在减少。观察选项的四个连词,while表示并列关系,although表示让步,because表示因果,but表示转折,结合上下文,此处选while最恰当,意为人们在住房等项支出减少的同时,海外度假支出也在减少。
70题,词义辨析题,根据上下文,海外旅游的人支出少了,因此此空填significantly,意为大量的。instantly意为立即地,simultaneously与此同时,actively积极地。
71题,介词题,考点是词组 in the face of,意为面临。此句意为,面临失去工作、收入不增长甚至是下降,以及缩水的奖金,人们勒紧了裤腰带。
72题,词义辨析题。此空和pay freeze是平行关系,pay freeze意为收入固定没有增长,所以分析各选项此空可填 pay cut,收入减少。dive意为急剧下降,pause暂停,halt停止。
73题,根据上文出现的pay, bonus, 提示此空与钱相关,composition意为组成、作文,conversation谈话,compensation补偿,construction建设,故选compensation。
74题,连词题,根据上下文,数字下滑1.1%,是有记录以来最大跌幅,故选since。
75题,介词题,根据上下文,工资减少了,奖金降低了,两者同时发生,故选with,表示伴随。此句意为,工资薪水减少了,伴随着金融部门奖金比正常情况低,同时就业率也在下降。
76题,此句出现了wages, salaries, bonus表示薪水、奖金的词,暗示此空与工作就业有关,故选employment,意为就业。
77题,形近词辨析。数据的发布用的是release。relieve意为缓解,relate相关,relax放松。此句意为,这次发布的数据是最近ONS对英国经济评估报告的一部分。
78题,词义辨析题。数据的发布确认了英国经济第一季度收缩1.9%。promote意为促进,justify意为找到合适的理由,advocate意为提倡。
79题,可用排除法来思考,空格后sharpest decline since 1979没有谓语动词,因此空格后是词组,而不是句子,所以不能用whose引导从句;此空指代的是前文UK economy英国经济,为第三人称单数,故用its指代。
80题,词义辨析题。数字的低用的是low。
81题,根据上下文种种数字指标的下滑,表明英国经济不容乐观,因此需要选一个负面的形容词,故选depressing,意为令人沮丧的。amazing意为令人惊讶的,通常都是正面的意思,blurring模糊不清的,puzzling令人困惑的。
82题,义近词辨析题。economy经济,finance金融,business商业,commerce商业。上一段的数据分析的是英国经济,并且前文已经出现了economy这个词,根据复现原则,此题选economy。
83题,根据上下文及经济学知识,消费和投资是经济的重要推动因素,因此此空填key,意为关键的。
84题,根据上下文,因为住房市场、劳动力市场、银行借贷的疲弱,(经济的)关键部分可能进一步下滑,所以此处填response,词组 in response to意为作为对······的反应。
85题,形近词辨析题。remain依然是,maintain保持,retain保留,sustain持续,从句义上考虑,此句意为我们依然不相信明年经济会增长;另外此句可从语法上考虑,unconvinced是动词的过去分词,空格处需填系动词,只有remain符合。
86题,介词题。translate into,意为转化为。最后一段意为,经济的关键部分因为住房市场、劳动力市场、银行借贷的疲弱可能会进一步下滑,我们依然不相信最近发生的经济好转迹象会转化成明年的经济增长。
总体说来,此篇完形填空考察的重点还是在于上下文的理解以及词义的辨析,考到了2题义近或形近词的辨析,3题介词题,2题连词题,其余还是纯词义辨析题为主。难度上说,本篇完形填空与往年难度基本持平。
