33、or Smith to make a lecture on International Trade for us. Professor Smith is distinguished in the field of economics and trade. In the past decade (3), he has published more than 40 articles in this field.The lecture to be delivered (4) is based on the latest study by Professor Smith and will last a
34、bout one hour. At the end of the lecture, there will be a 15-minute question session, so if you have any question, ask then.Now, before the lecture is started, lets show our gratitude to professor Smith for his kindness and time spared for us (5). Hopefully, the lecture can solve many of the questio
35、ns we have and enlighten us concerning related issues.Now, lets give professor Smith our warmest welcome (6).)解析：解题 欢迎词是一种交际性很强的文体。一方面，说话人要根据欢迎对象的身份确定语言使用的正式程度和礼貌程度；另一方面，欢迎词里又要覆盖重要信息。考生要掌握此类文体里常用的套语。注释 1ladies and gentleman，dear friends 为一般演讲、开幕词等常用称呼。有时，还会提及“尊敬的来宾”，用 distinguished guests 表达。2be hon
36、ored to do sth为常用客套话，表示“荣幸地做某事”。3in the past decade 表示“在过去的十年里”。4deliver a lecture 为常用搭配，表示“做讲座”。5show gratitude to sbfor sth为常用搭配，表示“因某事而感激某人”。另外，本句中的 for his kindness and time spared for us，其中 time spared 为分词结构作后置定语，足书面语中简洁的表达方法。口语中多用 for the time he spared.。6give sbthe warmest welcome 表示“向某人表示热烈欢
37、迎”，为客套语。二、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)三、Problems of the aged(总题数：10，分数：70.00)2.Some retired people desire to work because of economic reason.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Y）解析：解析 根据第一部分“The desire to continue working often stems from harsh economic reality，for retirement usually brings a sharp drop in
38、 income”可知退休后还想工作，往往是经济原因造成的。而本题中的“some people”，指部分人是由于经济原因想继续工作。这与原文内容一致，因此正确。3.Harvard professors retire at 65.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：N）解析：解析 考查细节定位。第一部分提到了哈佛大学教授的退休年龄是 70 岁。因此本题命题不正确。4.The age of mandatory retirement is linked to most peoples abilities.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：N）解析：解析 第一部分第二自然段讨论退休
39、年龄的不合理情况。不合理的原因是这种一刀切的办法，65岁这个退休年龄与个人的能力没有联系，很多人 65 岁以后还依然活跃、能干。而本题命题说这个年龄与很多人的能力是相关的，与原文内容不符。5.Blacks and racial minorities live a miserable life in the U.S.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：NG）解析：解析 文章第二部分只提到“退休后老年人的经济状况不及黑人与少数民族”来说明老年人的经济状况，但单凭此并不能推出“黑人与少数民族过着悲惨的生活”。但如果命题说“作者暗示黑人与少数民族收入低”则为正确，显然，作者的观点是“老年人收
40、入低”，“比黑人和少数民族还低”，自然含有认为“黑人和少数民族收入低”的意思。6.The economic problems of the aged begin before they retire.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Y）解析：解析 根据 Economic Problems 部分第二自然段首句：The economic problems of the elderly often begin before they reach retirement age。本题命题与此句内容一致。7.Employers advertise for people with 1-5 ye
41、ars experience because they dont need more experienced employees.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：N）解析：解析 根据 Economic Problems 部分第二自然段“Such laws are easily made， however，employers can advertise，for example，for someone with 1-5 years experience,”thus automatically disqualifying older workers”。该部分指出：雇主在招聘广告中打出要
42、有 15 年工作经验的员工，这使老年人失去了应聘的资格。可见，并非公司不需要更有经验的员工，而是公司使用手段避免招聘老龄员工同时又不违法。8.The medical expenses of the aged are 6 times more than the costs for the middle-aged.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：N）解析：解析 根据 Health Problems 第一自然段可知老年人的医疗支出是中年人的 3 倍多。故本题命题错误。9.The 9nly asset most elderly have is a 1.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （
43、正确答案：a home of their own）解析：解析 根据 Economic Problems 部分第三段。10.The feeling of “having nothing to do“ may cause some retired people to feel robbed of 1.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：meaning and self-fulfillment）解析：解析 根据 Mandatory Retirement 部分第一段。11. 1 is the primary reason for the high costs of medical expen
