词义辨析。句意:我使用的这个术语指的是一个公司客户群的整个生命周期价值。A.item项;B.version版本;C.term术语;D.definition定义。该空上一句提及的“customervalue(顾客价值)”是一个术语。故选C。【22题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:公司通过提高这种价值来赢得更多客户。A.persuading说服;B.consulting咨询;C.acquiring获得;D.inspecting视察,观察。通过“earningmorebusinessfromexistingones”(从现有的客户里赚取更多的利润),可以判断出获得更多客户才有更多利润。故选C。【23题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:长期以来,远见卓识的领导者都明白运营客户价值的重要性,而不是追求短期利润或季度收益,在这个过程中,他们已经成为持久的客户忠诚度领导者。A.remarking评论;B.concentrating集中;C.commenting评论;D.operating运营,操作。结合后文“oncustomervalue”可知此处指运营客户价值,应用operate。故选D。【24题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:值得注意的是有许多把客户忠诚度看得重的公司能够抵御股东压力。A.resist抵抗;B.increase增加;C.intensify加强;D.maintain维持。根据后句的“oravoiditaltogether”(或者可以一同抵御它们),可以判断该空与后面的句子在语义上表达的同一个意思,即抵御风险。故选A。【25题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:在很多方式上,公司也可能破坏了顾客价值。A.raise提出;B.adopt采纳,收养;C.calculate计算;D.destroy破坏。通过该段后文的“Suchstrategiesmayevenleadtoshort-termearningsgrowth.Butthey…”(如此策略甚至会导致短期的收益增长,但是……)从这句可以判断出,短期策略对公司长久发展是不利。故选D。【26题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:为了提高收入,计算机公司有时向公司顾客征收公司所有权变更费,高达原始费用3倍之多。A.income收入;B.experience经历,经验;C.productivity生产力;D.demand要求。通过该段后文的“Theresultingprofitsmaylookgoodontheincomestatement.”(结果从收入账单上看,最后收益看起来还不错)。可以看出,公司采取这些策略的目的是提高收益,减少成本。故选A。【27题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:为了减少运营成本,一些连锁餐馆有时会用速冻或预加工食材而不是新鲜的、定制的食物。A.separate分隔;B.substitute代替;C.forbid禁止;D.combine组合。该句上提及“Toreduceoperatingcosts”(为了减少运营成本),可以判断出公司会采取手段来缩减运营成本,用速冻或预加工产品代替新鲜定制的食物会提升餐馆运营效率,从而提高营业额。故选B。【28题详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:他们会把潜在客户吓跑并助长客户“不忠”。A.appealto对……有吸引力;B.relyon依靠;C.putdown放下;D.scareoff吓跑。该空前一句提及“Suchstrategiesmayevenleadtoshort-termearningsgrowth.”(如此策略甚至会得到短期收入增长),但话锋一转,作者使用了but,可以推断出其实这种做法并不是最可靠有效的,甚至是吓跑潜在客户群。故选D。【29题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:投资者可以对公司的业绩表现有一个清晰的评判。A.informed了解情况的;B.subjective主观的;C.definitive确信的;D.independent独立自主的。下文提及公司应该公开一些报表数据,从消费者角度就可以得到更多信息从而客观评价公司的业绩了。故选A。【30题详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意:但大多数公司错误地认为衡量顾客价值是一项困难且开销大的事情。A.fully彻底地;B.hardly艰难地;C.readily毫不犹豫,迅速地;D.wrongly错误地。该空前面的but可以推断出,在现实当中,大多数公司并没有像文章中那样做,而是理所当然认为衡量顾客价值的方法不可取。故选D。【31题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:收入账单及结余账单都无法充足地提供关于公司客户价值数据。A.ambition野心;B.devotion奉献;C.possibility可能性;D.visibility可见。因为上文提及好多公司并没有恒量顾客价值,自然也就没有可看得到的相关数据。故选D。【32题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:现在,许多公司都将注意力转移到如何成功提高客户群的价值上面。A.sacrifice牺牲;B.success成功;C.prejudice偏见;D.expense花费。上文提及虽然有很多公司开始考虑顾客价值这一问题,但是还是有很多公司没有考虑到如何成功提升客户群价值。故选B。【33题详解】考查固定短语辨析。句意:例如,英国顶尖的能源供应商(E.ON),每年都会在财务报道中纰漏其客户人头。A.asaresult因此;B.forexample例如;C.onthecontrary恰相反;D.ingeneral大体上。作者在这里以英国能源供应商的实际例子来支撑客户价值意义这一观点。故选B。34题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:投资者并没有一个完整的图景(整体情况)。A.incomplete不完整的;B.depressing沮丧的,萧条的;C.convincing有说服力的;D.vivid栩栩如生的。前文提及“Thisisastart,butbecausetherearenocustomer-valuereportingstandardsorrequirements”(这才是开始,没有客户价值体系标准及要求)可以判断,在这一“客户价值”问题还有许多事情亟待完善,所以对于投资者来说,图景是不完整的。故选A。【35题详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意:此外,公司统计客户价值指标也各不相同,也会改变指标编造一个想得到的故事。A.Instead相反;B.Besides此外;C.Otherwise否则;D.Therefore因此。该空前后提及的两种情况是递进关系,所以使用“此外”较为合适。故选B。SectionBDirections:Readthefollowingtwopassage.Eachpassageisfollowedbyseveralquestionsorunfinishedstatements.ForeachofthemtherearefourchoicesmarkedA,B,CandD.Choosetheonethatfitsbestaccordingtotheinformationgiveninthepassageyouhavejustread.APapa,asasonofadirt-poorfarmer,leftschoolearlyandwenttoworkinafactory,foreducationwasfortherichthen.So,theworldbecamehisschool.Withgreatinterest,hereadeverythinghecouldlayhishandson,listenedtothetowneldersandlearnedabouttheworldbeyondhistinyhometown."There'ssomuchtolearn,"he'dsay."Thoughwe'rebornstupid,onlythestupidremainthatway."Hewasdeterminedthatnoneofhischildrenwouldbedeniedaneducation.Thus,Papainsistedthatwelearnatleastonenewthingeachday.Though,aschildren,wethoughtthiswascrazy,itwouldneverhaveoccurredtoustodenyPapaarequest.Anddinnertimeseemedperfectforsharingwhatwehadlearned.Wewouldtalkaboutthenewsoftheday;nomatterhowinsignificant,itwasnevertakenlightly.Papawouldlistencarefullyandwasreadywithsomecomment,alwaystothepoint.Thencamethemoment—thetimetosharetheday'snewlearning.Papa,attheheadofthetable,wouldpushbackhischairandpouraglassofredwine,readytolisten."Felice,"he'dsay,"tellmewhatyoulearnedtoday.""IlearnedthatthepopulationofNepalis..."Silence.Papawasthinkingaboutwhatwassaid,asifthesalvationoftheworldwoulddependuponit."ThepopulationofNepal.Hmm.Well..."he'dsay."Getthemap;let'sseewhereNepalis."AndthewholefamilywentonasearchforNepal.Thissameexperiencewasrepeateduntileachfamilymemberhadaturn.Dinnerendedonlyafterwehadaclearunderstandingofatleasthalfadozensuchfacts.Aschildren,wethoughtverylittleabouttheseeducationalwonders.Ourfamily,however,wasgrowingtogether,sharingexperiencesandparticipatinginoneanother'seducation.Andbylookingatus,listeningtous,respectingoutinput,affirmingourvalue,givingusasenseofdignity,Papawasunquestionablyourmostinfluentialteacher.Laterduringmytrainingasafutureteacher,Istudiedwithsomeofthemostfamouseducators.TheywereimpartingwhatPapahadknownallalong-thevalueofcontinuallearning.Histechniquehasservedmewellallmylife.Notasingledayhasbeenwasted,thoughIcannevertellwhenknowingthepopulationofNepalmightproveuseful.36.Whatdoweknowfromthefirstparagraph?A.Thepoorcouldhardlyaffordschooleducation.B.Thosebornstupidcouldnotchangetheirlife.C.Thetownelderswantedtolearnabouttheworld.D.Theauthor'sfatherwas

chdemonstratingthat,between1988and2015,incomeinequalityincreasedthroughouttheworld.”(研究表明,从1988年到2015年,全世界的收入不平等加剧,这也凸显了自动化对全球的影响。)可知,自动化对全球的影响之一就是收入不平等的加剧。故选D项。【43题详解】推理判断题。根据文章标题“Up-skillingisthefuture-butitmustworkforeveryone”(提高技能是未来的趋势——但它必须适用于每个人),结合文章主要说明了自动化和就业替代将是未来几十年全球经济面临的最重大挑战之一,而对应这一趋势,当务之急是提高自身技能,尤其是跨部门跳槽所需要的广泛技能。文章说明了再培训项目存在的问题,指出自动化是科技面临的最大挑战。由此可以推知,这篇文章是为了强调提高工人技能的重要性。故选D项。SectionCDirections:Readthepassagecarefully.Fillineachblankwithapropersentencegiveninthebox.Eachsentencecanbeusedonlyonce.Notethattherearetwomoresentencesthanyouneed.TheBuyNothingMovementSocialmedia,magazinesandshopwindowsbombardpeopledailywiththingstobuy,andBritishconsumersarebuyingmoreclothesthaneverbefore.Theaveragepersonspendsmorethan?1,000onnewclothesayear,whichmightnotsoundlikemuch.________44________Alotofconsumerspendingisbymeansofcreditcards.Britishpeoplecurrentlyoweabout?670peradulttocreditcardcompanies.Also,peoplearespendingmoneytheyhaven'tearnedtobuythingstheydon'tneed.Britainthrowsaway300,000tonsofclothingayear,mostofwhichgoesintolandfillsites.Peoplemightnotrealizetheproblemsbecausetheydonatetheirunwantedclothestocharities.Butcharityshopscan'tsellallthoseunwantedclothes.Alotofclothesthatcharitiescan'tsellaresentabroad,causingevenmoreeconomicandenvironmentalproblems.________45________TheideaoriginatedinCanadaintheearly1990sandthenmovedtotheUS.OnBuyNothingDaypeopleorganizevarioustypesofprotestsandcutuptheircreditcards.Throughouttheyear,BuyNothinggroupsorganizetheexchangeandrepairofitemstheyalreadyown.Thetrendhasnowreachedinfluencersonsocialmediawhonowencouragetheirviewersnottobuyanythingatallofforperiodsaslongasayear.TwofriendsinCanadaspentayearworkingtowardsbuyingonlyfood.Forthefirstthreemonthstheylearnedhowtolivewithoutbuyingelectricalgoods,clothesorthingsforthehouse.Forthenextstage,theygaveupservices,forexample,haircuts,eatingoutorbuyingpetrolfortheircars.________46________.Thechangestheymademeanttwofewercarsontheroads,areductioninplasticandpaperpackagingandapositiveimpactontheenvironmentfromalltheenergysaved.________47________Butevenifyoucan'tmanageafullyearwithoutgoingshopping,youcanparticipateintheanti-consumeristmovementbyrefusingtobuythingsyoudon'tneed.A.Inoneyear,they'dsaved$55,000.B.Ifeveryonefollowedasimilarplan,theresultswouldbeimpressive.C.Onlineshoppingmeansitiseasyforcustomerstobuywithoutthinking.D.Second-handclothesareoftenoftoopoorqualitytorecycleincharityshops.E.ButthatfigurehidestwofarmoreworryingtrendsforsocietyandfortheenvironmentF.However,adifferenttrendarisesinoppositiontoconsumerism-the'buynothing'trend.【答案】44.E45.F46.A47.B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英国如今消费者购买了比以往更多地衣服,但是自己并不需要这些衣服的社会现象,同时这一现象也带来了社会和环境方面的担忧。于是社会上有了一种“不买运动”的兴起,介绍了其起源、发展方式和能够产生的积极影响。【44题详解】根据上文“Theaveragepersonspendsmorethan?1,000onnewclothesayear,whichmightnotsoundlikemuch.(英国人平均每年花在新衣服上的钱超过1000英镑,这听起来可能不算多)”以及后文“Alotofconsumerspendingisbymeansofcreditcards.Britishpeoplecurrentlyoweabout?670peradulttocreditcardcompanies.Also,peoplearespendingmoneytheyhaven'tearnedtobuythingstheydon'tneed.Britainthrowsaway300,000tonsofclothingayear,mostofwhichgoesintolandfillsites.(许多消费者是通过信用卡进行消费的。目前,英国人每个成年人欠信用卡公司的钱约为670英镑。同时,人们也在用他们还没挣到的钱去买他们不需要的东西。英国每年扔掉30万吨衣服,其中大部分都进入了垃圾填埋场)”可知,上文提到了人们每年买衣服的具体数字,后文则提到了每年也会有30万吨的衣服进入垃圾站,引发环境问题,可推知,本句提出对上文这个数字的具体说明。且E选项中thatfigure指代上文morethan?1,000。故E选项“但是这个数字隐藏了对社会和环境来说两个更令人担忧的趋势”符合语境,故选E。【45题详解】根据下文“TheideaoriginatedinCanadaintheearly1990sandthenmovedtotheUS.OnBuyNothingDaypeopleorganizevarioustypesofprotestsandcutuptheircreditcards.Throughouttheyear,BuyNothinggroupsorganizetheexchangeandrepairofitemstheyalreadyown.(上世纪90年代初,这个想法起源于加拿大,然后传到了美国。在‘不买东西日’,人们组织各种形式的抗议活动,并剪掉他们的信用卡。一整年,不买东西的团体组织交换和修理他们已经拥有的物品)”可知,整个段落谈论的是关于“BuyNothingDay”观念的起源和发展方式,故本句为本段第一句,是在提出“BuyNothingDay”观念。故F选项“然而与消费主义相反的另一种‘不买’趋势正在凸显”符合语境,故选F。【46题详解】根据上文“TwofriendsinCanadaspentayearworkingtowardsbuyingonlyfood.Forthefirstthreemonthstheylearnedhowtolivewithoutbuyingelectricalgoods,clothesorthingsforthehouse.Forthenextstage,theygaveupservices,forexample,haircuts,eatingoutorbuyingpetrolfortheircars.(在加拿大的两个朋友花了一年时间努力只买食物。在最初的三个月里,他们学会了在不买电器、衣服或房子里的东西的情况下生活。在接下来的阶段,他们放弃了诸如理发、外出就餐或为汽车购买汽油等服务)”可知,这两个朋友用一年的时间分二个阶段拒绝购买除食物之外的其他商品,本句为本段最后一句,可推知是在说明这两个朋友节约行为产生的结果:即他们节省了55000美元。故A选项“一年时间,他们节省了55000美元”符合语境,故选A。【47题详解】根据上文“Thechangestheymademeanttwofewercarsontheroads,areductioninplasticandpaperpackagingandapositiveimpactontheenvironmentfromalltheenergysaved.(他们做出的改变意味着路上少开两辆车,减少塑料和纸包装,节约的所有能源对环境产生了积极影响)”可知,上文提到这两个朋友所做的改变意味着路上车变少、塑料袋和纸袋使用量会下降,对节约能源有积极的影响。故本句承接上文,说明这种做法如果能够推广,将能够产生的影响。故B选项“如果每个人都执行这种方法,那结果会让人印象深刻”符合语境,故选B。第II卷I.TranslationDirections:TranslatethefollowingsentencesintoEnglish,usingthewordsgiveninthebrackets.48.你读的书越多,就对你越有好处。(themore,themore)(汉译英)【答案】Themorebooksyouread,themorebenefitsyoucangetfromit.【解析】【详解】考查固定句型和短语。根据句意“读书”可知短语为readbooks;表示“有好处,获益”短语可用getbenefitsfrom;此处为“themore,themore”句型,表示“越……,越……”。结合语境应用一般现在时,故翻译为Themorebooksyouread,themorebenefitsyoucangetfromit.49.他不能胜任这项工作,这使得他的老板很失望。(qualified)(汉译英)【答案】Hewasnotqualifiedforthisjob,w
