41、案】 H 【试题解析】 本题意：销量经周二小幅下跌，周三回落到周一水平。 此题中暗含的信息是周一到周二销量是上升的。故选 H。 四、 PART FOUR 16 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 在做本题时，考生即使不认识 “residue一词，也丝毫不会影响对整个句子正误的判断。只要把下面说的关系判断出来就可以了：第一段第二句话中的 “these mixes”指的就是第一句中的 “various。 fresh salad mixes”，后者又出现在 “such as”后面，所以 “rayious fresh salad mixes”是 “prewashed， prepack-aged produ
42、cts”中的一种。根据第二句话，此描述是正确的，所以选 A。 17 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 从第一段第三句话可知 CleanGreens!的作用是 “turn the chlorine into harmless， odorless， tasteless chloride“，意思是把残留物如氯变成无害、无臭、无味的氯，而非去除。 “turninto“ 并不等同于 “remove“，所以选 B。 18 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 文中未提及氯是否对人体有害，所以要选 C。 19 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 读完第一段就可以判断出 CleanGreens!是一种用来洗涤蔬菜水果的洗
43、涤剂，而非食品。 20 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 文中没有提到相关内容，所以选 C。 21 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 倒数第二段告诉读者 CleanGreens!所含的都是可降解的食物级的成分 (food-grade ingredients that are biodegradable)，而且不会穿透细胞壁 (will not penetrate cell walls)，并且 可以完全洗掉 (wash off completely)。考生在这里要注意wash off指的是洗涤剂能够全部用水冲掉，不会残留在瓜果蔬菜上。因此 A为正确选项。 22 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 文中第
44、三段的第三句话 “We guarantee CleanGreens!to show far superior results to these products ”表述的就是这个意思。虽然广告难免有夸大其词之嫌，但这不是我们完成此题时需要考虑的，我们只根据文章来进行判断。因此，应该选 A。 五、 PART FIVE 23 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题意为 “为什么向求职者问一些与他们过去经历相关的问题很有用 ?”回答这一问题我们可以在第二段中找到答案，即 “give clues aslOW to” 。故选 C。 24 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题意为 “为什么让求职者想象他们该
45、如何应对某种情况这种方法没有效果 ?”这一问题的答案在第二段最后一句。故选 B。 25 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题属于细节题。根据第三段内容，我们可以知道只有选项 c复合文章意思。故选 C。 26 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题题意为 “简 高德雷认为经理们因该怎么做 ?”答案可以从文章第四段中间部分得出，即 “spentling time actually withrather than in their omices” 。故选 A。 27 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题题意为 “在 Aspley超市，申请管理层职位的求职者会接受怎么样的考查 ?”这一问题的答案可以直接
46、在文章第四段最后一句中得出。故选 B。 28 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题要求根据文意 选择求职者在面试过程中的表现，根据文章最后一段第二句可以得出答案为 A。故选 A。 六、 PART SIX 29 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 “by the end of”是固定搭配，表示 “到 末 ”； “in the end”单独可表示 “最后 ”的意思，后面一般不跟名词； “at the end of”虽然成立，但更多的表示的是一个时间点，没有 “截止到 ” 的意思。故选 B。 30 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 International Business 是一本刊物，因此用 “rep
47、ort报道 ”这个词最为合适。故选 A。 31 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 “run”和 “operate”都可以表示 “经营 ”的意思，但是 “run”更为地道一些，该题应该选 run的过去分词形式。故选 A。 32 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 招商银行、广东发展银行、深圳发展银行、福建兴业银行等都为地区性银行。故选 C。 33 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 “apart from”为固定搭配，意思为 “除了 ”。故选 B。 34 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 表示 “附属机构 ”的词汇为 “affiliate”， “branch”表示分支机构。故选 A。 35 【正确答案】 C
48、 【试题解析】 该句意思为：这些银行都是由中国人民银行完全出资成立的，因此选 C。 A项和 B项如用在句中则与 “fully”不相搭配。故选 C。 36 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 “add to”是固定搭配表示 “加入 ” 。故选 A。 37 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 “set up”是固定搭配，表示 “成立 ”的意思。故选 A。 38 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 “only”是用来表示 “唯一 ”专用词汇； “single”的意思是 “单一的、单独的 ”，用在这里并不合适； “one”是个数词，表示 “一个 ”。故选 B。 39 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 该题的关键是理
49、解 “ratify”的意思，即 “批准、认可 ”，是一种官方用法。故选 C。 40 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 “list”是 “列表、清单 ”的意思。故选 B。 七、 PART SEVEN 41 【正确答案】 20 0CTOBER 【试题解析】 从第一封邮件正文的第一行 “for Ms Garcias visit on wednesday 20 October”可获取此信息。 42 【正确答案】 COMPANY 【试题解析】 从第一封邮件正文的第一行 “The flight is due at 11： 00 and its about 45-minute drive to our company ”可知从机场到公司有 45分钟的车程，因此 11： 45应该是到达公司的时间。 43 【正确答案】 SWAN HOTEL 【试题
