Is There a Way to Keep the Britain's Economy Growing?
1 .In today's knowledge economy,nations survive on the things they do best.Japanese design electronics while Germens export engineering techniques.The French serve the best food and Americans make computers.
2 .Britain specializes in the gift of talking.The nation doesn't manufacture much of any-thing.But it has lawyers,stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talktalk and more talk.The World Foundation think tank says the UK's four iconic job、todayare not scientists,engineers,teachers and nurses.Instead,they're hairdressers,celebrities,management consultants and managers.But can all this talking keep the British economy going?The British government thinks it can.
3 .Although the country's trade deficit was more than￡60 billion in 2006,UK's largest in thepostwar period,officials say the country has nothing to worry about.In fact,Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical industry and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad.It also trades services一accountancy,insurance,banking and advertising.The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy.After all,the country of Shakespeare and Words-worth has a literary tradition of which to be proud.Rock'n'roll is an English language medium,and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands.In other words,the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy.
4 .However,creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK's exports of goods and services.The industries are finding it hard to make a profit,according to a report of the National Endowment for Science,Technology and the Arts.The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in“innovation activities”,3 percentage points be-low the EU average and well below Germany(61 percent)and Sweden(47 percent).

参考答案
参考解析
解析：段落中出现了明显的段落主题词talk(talk贯穿该段出现），依据这个段落主题词可轻松判断出答案应该来自E和F这两个选项中。第二段中的第一个句子是观点句，该句意为 “英国的特长是有说话的天赋”。这个意义意义正好与E'‘说话的天赋”一致。该段的写作结构为“观点句（主题句）＋解释说明（接下来的句子具体说明说话天赋在经济中的表现）”。
该段没有明显的段落主题词，段首句只是事实陈述句，不是观点句，也就不是该段的主题句。对于该段落只能通过大致理解段落主要意思来归纳出主题。该段讲述英国是著名作家Shakespeare和Wordsworth.的故乡，“他1IJ以次央国的摇艰尔团创造了大量的精神财富，也为英国赚得了大量的钱，显示了创造性经济的力量。因此C“创造性经济的实力”是答案。
第四段的第一个句子是转折句（提示：段首出现的转折句常是段落主题句）, 该句意为“然而，创造性行业的商品和服务出口只占整个英国出口量的4%左右”，由此可见创造性经济还是很薄弱的。因此答案为D“创造性经济的弱点”。
第五段的第一个句子是主题句In fact, it might be better to call Britain a “servant” economy一there are at least 4 million people “in service”。该句意为“实际上，把英国的经济叫做服务经济更恰当一些——因为至少有四百万人在做服务性工作”。因此选B“服务经济”。提示：如果概括大意的选项中出现正反意义选项，如本题中的选项C“创造性经济的强项”和D “创造性经济的弱点”，则这两个选项中必然至少有一个是答案选项，而另一个形成对比意义的选项作为答案出现的可能性也较大，因为英文短文中常出现两个形成对比意义的段落，如：过去情况与现在情况的对比；强项（优点）和弱点（缺点）的对比等。
虽然可以利用题干中的名词短语every country, own way作为定位线索，但是对于该题却不容易依据定位线索识别出相关句。这种情况在职称英语考试中较少见，该题的相关句在第一段。第一段讲到了在今天的知识经济时代，各个国家靠自己的强项得以生存。因此C“养活自己的人民”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语British government作为定位线索，在第二段中找到相关句 But can all this talking keep the British economy going? The British government thinks it can，相关句意为“说话能让英国经济持续发展吗？英国政府认为可以。”依据相关句的内容不难看出英国政府似乎并不担心英国经济。因此选项F“担心英国经济”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语“creative industries”作为定位线索，在第四段中找到相关句The industries（指creative industries) are finding it hard（与题干中的形容词 difficult呼应）to make a profit, according to a report of the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts，相关句表明英国创造性的行业很难盈利。因此答案为E“盈利”。
利用题干中的名词短语many graduates作为定位线索，在第五段中找到相关句Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree，相关句意为“许多毕业生甚至在做不需要学位的卑微的工作”。因此B“做低技能的工作”是答案。

第二篇The American IndustryA history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the world's best,its workers the most skilled.America and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economies the war had destroyed.It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominance proved painful.By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics,had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none:Zenith was bought by South Korea's LG Electronics in July.)Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America's machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors,which America had which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty.All of this caused a crisis of confidence.Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted.They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America's industrial decline.Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.How things have changed!In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle.Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride."American industry has changed its structure,has gone on a diet,has learnt to be more quick-witted,"according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government,"It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity,"says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute,a think-tank in Washington,DC.And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as"a golden age of business management in the United States."The author seems to believe the revival of the U.S.economy in the 1990s can be attributed to the______.A:turning of the business cycleB:restructuring of industryC:improved business managementD:success in education

第三篇"Clean your plate!"and"Be a member of the clean-plate club!"Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often,it's accompanied by an appeal:"Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!"Sure,we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately,many people in the US take too many bites.Instead of staying"clean the plate",perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer,with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story.Americans traditionally associate quantity with, value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls,a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University,told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now,apparently, some customers are calling for this too.The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed.But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions.Seventy percent of those earning at least ￥150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than ￥25,000 want smaller.It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy.It's just that,after long hours at lowpaying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck to paycheck,happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.Why do American restaurants serve large portions?A:Because Americans associate quantity with value.B:Because Americans have big bellies.C:Because Americans are good eaters.D:Because Americans are greedy.

American DreamsThere is a common response to America among foreign writers:the US is a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst.This is a cliché（陈词滥调）.In the land of black and white,people should not be too surprised to find some of thebiggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world.But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone.________(1)No class system or government stands in the way. Sadly,this old argument is no longer true.Over the past few decades there has been a fundamental shift in the structure of the American economy.The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened.________(2)Over the past 25 years the median US family income has gone up 18 percent.For the top 1 percent,however,it has gone up 200 percent.Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of Americans had an average income 6.7 times that of the bottom fifth.________ (3)Inequalities have grown worse in different regions.In California,incomes for lower class families have fallen by 4 percent since 1969.________(4)This has led to an economy hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans.The wealthiest 1 percent of households now control a third of the national wealth.There are now 37 million Americans living in poverty.At 12.7 percent of the population,it is the highest percentage in the developed world.Yet the tax burden on America's rich is falling,not growing.________(5)There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole.But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.________（1）A:Nobody is poor in the US.B:The top 0. 01 percent of households has seen its tax bite fall by a full 25 percentage points since 1980.C:For upper class families they have risen 41 percent.D:Now it is9.8 times.E:As it does so,the possibility to cross that gap gets smaller and smaller.F:All one has to do is to work hard and climb the ladder towards the top.

问答题Practice 3 It was the anti-globalization movement that really put globalization on the map. As a word it has existed since the 1960s, but the protests against this allegedly new process, which its opponents condemn as a way of ordering people’s lives, brought globalization out of the financial and academic worlds and into everyday current affairs. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the business model called the “globalized” financial market came to be seen as an entity that could have more than just an economic impact on the parts of the world it touched. Globalization came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business, or running financial markets—it became a process. From then on the word took on a life of its own. So how does the globalized market work? It is modern communications that make it possible; for the British service sector to deal with its customers through a call center in India, or for a sportswear (运动服) manufacturer to design its products in Europe, make them in south east Asia and sell them in north America. But this is where the anti-globalization side gets stuck in (关注). If these practices replace domestic economic life with an economy that is heavily influenced or controlled from overseas. Then the creation of a globalized economic model and the process of globalization can also be seen as a surrender of power to the corporations, or a means of keeping poorer nations in their place. Not everyone agrees that globalization is necessarily evil, or that globalized corporations are running the lives of individuals or are more powerful than nations. Some say that the spread of globalization, free markets and free trade into the developing world is the best way to beat poverty—the only problem is that free markets and free trade do not yet truly exist. Globalization can be seen as a positive, negative or even marginal process. And regardless of whether it works for good or ill, globalization’s exact meaning will continue to be the subject of debate among those who oppose, support or simply observe it.
