It also threatens it tomorrow.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.regularB.alternateC.continuousD.intermittent 解析：解析：空格需填入跟 informal 并列的形容词，并跟前面的 employed 相呼应，下文提到许多那些所谓 employed(有工作)的年轻人从事的只是暂时的(temporary)工作，因此空格应填入跟 temporary 近义的词，D 项 i
26、ntermittent“间歇的”符合要求。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.relationsB.communicationsC.contracts D.negotiations解析：解析：上一句提到许多被雇用的年轻人只是做非正规的(informal)工作。空格所在句分析富裕国家情况，比照这两句，可知 have only informal andjobs 与 are on temporary意思应一样，C 项contracts“合同”代入空格，“处于暂时的合同中”即为“有不正式的工作”。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.exhibitB.gain C.abandonD.exercise
27、解析：解析：上文提到，全球许多年轻人只有非正规的(informal)工作，其中富裕国家有超过三分之一的年轻人的工作是 temporary，据此可推断这些年轻人工作变动很大，很难在短期内获得技术，故选 B 项gain“获得”。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.disabledB.lazyC.unpaid D.diligent解析：解析：此处由 or 连接 family labourers 和 work in the informal economy(在非正式经济中工作)，可推测这些人的经济待遇不会好，C 项 unpaid“无薪的”符合要求(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.All in a
28、ll B.All the wayC.All at onceD.All the same解析：解析：上文分别陈述了“富裕国家”和“较贫穷的国家”的年轻人从事临时的、非正规的职业或在家庭劳作的比例，空格所在句提到 the world“s young people，显而易见，是对上述国家情况的总结，故选 A 项 All in all“总而言之”。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.insideB.outside C.forD.under解析：解析：前面两句分别提到富裕圉家和较贫穷国家中年轻人从事非正规职业的情况，空格所在句是对上文的总结，即“世界年轻人从事非正规职业的情况”，由于空格后为 form
29、al economy(正规经济)，因此空格处应为否定含义的词才能表达“从事非正规职业”之意，故选 B 项 outside“在之外”。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.productively B.automaticallyC.cautiouslyD.critically解析：解析：上文提到这些年轻人工作的非正式性、短暂性，那么可知他们对社会作出的贡献相对就少，因此工作的成效相对就低，故选 A 项 productively“有成效地”。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.existenceB.realizationC.developmentD.epidemic 解析：解析：上一段提到全球年
30、轻人失业的比例几乎占到 14，而“有工作”(employed)但只是在非正规经济中工作的年轻人几乎占全球年轻人的一半，这些数据表明，年轻人失业(joblessness)已是很普遍的社会问题，故选 D 项 epidemic“流行”。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.judgementB.experienceC.deal D.story解析：解析：根据该句的关键词 long(长久的)和 raw(粗暴的)，可推断这里指“年轻人长久以来在劳务市场受到不公平的待遇”，从而导致年轻人失业比重大，故选 C 项 deal，have a raw deal 是习惯搭配，表示“受到不公平待遇”。(10).【C1
31、0】（分数：2.00）A.appealingB.pressing C.excitingD.inspiring解析：解析：空格所在句提到“两个原因(two things)使得年轻人失业更加一一”，由下文的 raises youth joblessness，可推断此处表示“使问题变得愈发严重、紧迫”，故选 B 项 pressing“紧迫的”。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.eventB.effect C.resultD.attack解析：解析：空格所在句具体分析“造成大量年轻人失业”的第一个原因，即 The financial crisisand its consequence(金融危机
32、及其后果)，这通常会带来不好的影响，故选 B 项 effect，have aneffect on指“对有影响”。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.discussB.useC.trainD.sack 解析：解析：空格后面的 the newest hires 指“最新雇佣的员工”，往往是资历较浅、年纪较轻的人，结合下一句的 raises youth joblessness(年轻人的失业率提高)，可推测那些刚刚雇佣的员工往往最先被解雇，故选 D 项 sack“解雇”。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.recession B.regulationC.recoveryD.resistan
33、ce解析：解析：上文提及造成了全球大量年轻人失业的一个原因：经济危机。空格前用 so 引出结果状语，空格后意为“让年轻人的失业率高得不成比例”，因此空格处应填入跟“经济危机”意思相近的词，A 项recession“衰退”符合要求。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.accommodationsB.populations C.occupationsD.surroundings解析：解析：该句引出造成全球大量年轻人失业的另一原因：the emerging economies(新兴经济体的劳务状况)。结合下一句提到的生活在这些新兴经济体国家的年轻人的数量，可推知这里指新兴经济体内的年轻人群体，
34、故选 B 项 populations“人口，群体”。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.best-runB.worse-runC.worst-run D.better-run解析：解析：根据上文的“两个原因造成了全球大量年轻人失业”，可知新兴经济体的劳务市场状况并不好，主语 the emerging economies 后用了最高级来限定，结合 also“同样地”可推断，空格处也应用最高级的形式，故选 C 项 worst-run“经营最差的”。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.pieceB.levelC.rangeD.share 解析：解析：上一句提到了生活在新兴经济体国家的年轻
35、人数量在全球占的比重，该句的主语 They 承上指代前面提到的新兴经济体国家，also 表示同样是人口“比例”的问题，据此应选 D 项 share“份额”。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.carriesB.imposes C.settlesD.produces解析：解析：该句的主语 this 指代上文提到的大量年轻人失业的问题，从 generous welfare 和taxpayers 可看出，社会福利好的国家会给失业者提供一定的失业补助，而这些补助源自向纳税人征收的税金，社会失业率越高，纳税人被迫交纳的税金也越多，纳税人的经济负担就会越大。故选 B 项imposes“强加于”。(1
36、8).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.disengaged B.disappointedC.discardedD.disgraced解析：解析：上一句用 this 指代大量年轻人失业的问题，空格所在句以 Europe 为例说明，这里的economic loss 是指用国家税收给失业者提供失业补助而造成的经济损失，故空格后的 youngpeople 应指“年轻的失业者”，因此选 A 项 disengaged“空闲的、自由的”，此处指“没有正式工作的”。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.ledB.amounted C.addedD.kept解析：解析：该句提到 one estimate(估
37、算，评价)，从句的主语是 the economic loss，空格后为“to+数值”，故推测这里指经估算其经济损失达到多少，所以选 B 项 amounted，amount to 表示“总计达”。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.boostsB.reflectsC.lowers D.accompanies解析：解析：空格所在句和下一句分别用到 not only 和 also，表明两句之间语义上存在递进关系，下一句用 threatens 表明失业问题对经济增长的消极影响，据此空格处也应选表“消极影响”的词，故选 C项 lowers“降低”。“AMZN“ is a four-letter w
38、ord to many booksellers. The online retailer has been【C1】_of killing the bookselling industry. It certainly has【C2】_high street chains. But physical bookstore booksellers may【C3】_from Amazon“s latest announcement. On January 7th the company【C4】_the option of free deliverywhich it calls “Super Saver“
39、for book orders under 10 in Britain. This follows a【C5】_of the free-delivery option in July 2013, and【C6】_a similar scheme the retailer has introduced in America Amazon“s aim is to push customers towards its Prime service, which costs 49 a year for next-day delivery on orders of any price and also i
40、ncludes its locker service. This preferential treatment has proven【C7】_And they seem to buy more【C8】_than non-Prime customers. But the【C9】_carries a risk.

43、rner.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.remindedB.accused C.convincedD.approved解析：解析：从空格后的 killing the bookselling industry(破坏图书销售业)，可知亚马逊是“被指控”，故选 B 项 accused“控告”。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.unsettled B.untiedC.uncoveredD.unfolded解析：解析：由 certainly 可看出，前句和本句存在逻辑上的因果关系。上一句提到“网络零售商被破坏图书销售业”，那么给连锁零售业带来的肯定是负面的影响，A 项 u
44、nsettled“扰乱”符合语境要求。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.lose heartB.take inC.take heart D.take on解析：解析：本句的 But 提示，本句和上文语义相反。上文分析了亚马逊破坏图书销售业，给连锁零售业会带来不安的因素，那么反过来，本句应讲有利的因素，可以促其振作起来。C 项 take heart“振作起来”符合语境。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.continuedB.changedC.madeD.withdrew 解析：解析：根据下一段，亚马逊的目的是让顾客成为其会员，为此顾客需每年花费 49 英镑才能享受不受订单金额限制的隔天到
45、货及就近提货服务。既然要顾客花钱成为会员才能免快递费，那么此处讲的应是亚马逊公司取消之前的免快递费的服务项目，故选 D 项 withdrew“收回，撤回”。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.lesseningB.tightening C.shorteningD.widening解析：解析：下文分析了亚马逊公司促其顾客花钱成为会员，因此可推断亚马逊公司是在节省成本。本句回顾到 2013 年 7 月的免快递费的政策，那现在的做法无疑是继续之前的紧缩财政的做法。故选 B 项tightening“收紧”。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.echoes B.repeatsC.switchesD.
46、deserts解析：解析：从本空后的 similar“相似的”可以推断出亚马逊在英国的计划和在美国的计划是一脉相承的，故选 A 项 echoes“效仿，响应”。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.commonB.unpopularC.usefulD.popular 解析：解析：上文分析了花钱成为亚马逊公司的会员可以享受一系列的服务。本句继续讲这个优惠待遇(preferential treatment)被证明是什么样的结果。空格后紧跟的句子提到 they(会员)似乎比非会员买的要多，证明优惠待遇确实是受欢迎的，故选 D 项 popular。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.regularl
47、y B.repeatedlyC.rarelyD.inevitably解析：解析：本空需填入一个副词接在表比较级的 more 之后，来比较亚马逊的会员和非会员的购书情况。上文分析了亚马逊会员可以享受一系列的服务，据此可以推断出会员比非会员更频繁地购书故选 A 项regularly“经常地”。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.conspiracyB.resultC.move D.movement解析：解析：上文分析了亚马逊公司取消了低于 10 英镑的订单免怏递费这项服务，目的在于促使顾客花钱成为其会员。本句讲到：但是有风险。显然此处需要一个名词来概括上文提及的亚马逊公司最近的做法。C 项 move 作名词时，意为“举措”，符合语境。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.discourage B.dismissC.demandD.protect解析：解析：前句讲亚马逊公司的决定会有风险，接着分析了存在哪些风险。本句讲此项决定对于偶尔购书者网购的影响，后半句讲会让他们重新回到实体店购书。据此可以得出此项决定会阻止普通购书者网购，故选 A 项 discourage 意为“阻止”。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.economicalB.uneconomical C.unreasonableD.incom
