答案及解析
67. D。根据本句后半部分, “export...tropical agricultural products” (出口热带农产品),第四句提到了”Third world”,可知此处应为the Third World countries,即指 “developing countries” 。
68. C。此处 deposits意为“资源” ,与 mineral搭配意为“矿产资源” 。range指“范围” ;scopes指“取景,余地”;product指“产品”,都不符合句意。
69. A。第三世界国家出口矿产资源和农产品目的是获得外汇。available指“可得到的”,符合句意;desired “渴望的”; possible “可能的”;abandoned “丢弃的”,意思与文章不符 。
70. B。be responsible for 为固定搭配,指“对……负责,形成……的原因”, 该处可引申为“对……有贡献”。
71. D。句意 “旅游业也对发展中国家的快速发展很有贡献”。develpping nations 为“发展中国家”
72. B。发展中国家的状况应是高失业率与低工资相对应。A项正好相反,development 意为“发展”; improvement意为“提高”。 因此答案为B。
73. A。emigration与介词to搭配,表示“移民到”。
74. C。exploit指“剥削” ;import指“进口” ;specify指“明确”。本句承接上句,意为“西欧已接受了来自地中海各国的几百万的这种移民” 。
75. D。空格后为一从句,需一词引导,结合句意,选when引导一时间状语。句意: “当这种移民工人把他们的储蓄和所学到的技术带回国内时,发展中国家便获益颇多。”且后文有相同的句式提示。
76. C。此处bring与back搭配,表示“带回”。 bring down是“打倒, 击落, 降低”的意思。
77. A。结合句意,此处选establish(建立)与manufacturing(产业)搭配。predict表示“预测”;mention指“提到”。句意为“当西方各国利用发展中国家的廉价劳动力在那里投资建厂时,许多发展中国家也从中获益”。
78. C。take advantage of相当于make use of(利用)。challenge 表示“挑战” ;privilege表示“特权”,都不符合句意。
79. B。此处as引导一时间状语。句意为: “ 当经济发展成熟时,发展速度会渐趋稳定。”
80. D。根据常识,西方各国人口增长缓慢甚至呈负增长。population “人口”,“level off意为“趋于稳定, 变平”
81. B。承接上句,因为根据句意“这种稳定(指经济发展速度和人口增长)最终导致了一种稳定的负增长市场”, eventually“最终”,符合句意。
82. C。本句中 “set in” 指“形成”,句意 “一个饱和点形成了——科技发明似乎把连不可能的事都变成了现实,但它还能向前走多远呢?”
83. B。此处选but表转折。该句意为“技术革新似乎取得了不可能的成果,但是技术革新又能走多远呢?”
84. D。“in his book”(在他的书中)。该句意为“Herman在他的书《将来200年》中说道‘工业化国家必须转变关注的重心。’”
85. A。根据后文的 “rather”(而是)一词表明前面是被否定内容,且空格后为一倒装句,需否定词置前。
86. A。后句“It is...that...” 为强调句型。句意为“创造效益和工作机会已不再重要,我们关注的应该是生活质量的改善”。
