Question

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up their markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is: Is economic globalization   50   for all?

According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce   51   in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth   52   to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合）of local economies into the world economy. Home some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes   53   at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.

Those who   54   globalization claim that economies in developing countries wilt from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.   55   , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in   56   open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.

Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually   57   gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually.   58   from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.   59   , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to   60   their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of   61   . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to   62   and will be crowded out.

One thing is certain about Globalization—there is no   63   . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The   64   now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.

Answer 1

 {定文體抓主旨}本文是一篇議論文，先提出問(wèn)題：全球化經(jīng)濟(jì)化到底有益嗎？然后列出了兩種相反的觀點(diǎn)，最后總結(jié)。本文設(shè)題相當(dāng)巧妙，基本上所有的空都是根據(jù)上下文聯(lián)系才能找到答案，突出了語(yǔ)篇概念。

{篇章結(jié)構(gòu)}：

段落	關(guān)鍵詞	大意推測(cè)
第一部分（para.1）	opened up their markets Is economic globalization good for all?	提出問(wèn)題：開(kāi)放市場(chǎng)；全國(guó)化對(duì)所有人有好處嗎？
第二部分（para.2--4）	supporters; reduce poverty; Critics take a different view	主體部分：支持者認(rèn)為它可以減少貧窮；批評(píng)者持相反的觀點(diǎn)
第三部分（para.5）	an interconnected world； create a kind of globalization	結(jié)論：這是一個(gè)互相聯(lián)系的世界，全球化對(duì)所有人有利。

50. 答案：C

解析：第一段是主旨段，由第二段句首的…h(huán)as helped reduce…、第三段句首的…will benefit from…可知這是講經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化的好處，結(jié)合第四段句首的Critics take a different view可知這講弊端，最后一段照應(yīng)首段，尤其末段的…for the benefit of all。由此可見(jiàn)這句句意：經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化對(duì)所有人有好處嗎？

51. 答案：B。

解析：由后句的increased wealth可知本句說(shuō)的是經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化增加了財(cái)富，也就是減少了貧窮現(xiàn)象。

52. 答案：A

解析：句意為：它引用了一項(xiàng)研究，該研究顯示了在24個(gè)發(fā)展中國(guó)家，由于將當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)融合進(jìn)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)中，增長(zhǎng)的財(cái)富促進(jìn)了教育的改進(jìn)和壽命的延長(zhǎng)。contribute to促進(jìn)；導(dǎo)致。respond to對(duì)……作出回應(yīng)；turn to求助于；owing to由于。

53. 答案：D

解析：由前句所說(shuō)的財(cái)富的增加，這里應(yīng)該是收入的增長(zhǎng)。

54. 答案：C

解析：由本句中的will benefit from…可知這是說(shuō)全國(guó)化經(jīng)濟(jì)的好處。句意為：贊成全球化的人說(shuō)發(fā)展中國(guó)家的經(jīng)濟(jì)將受益于小型和本國(guó)企業(yè)得到的新機(jī)遇。

55. 答案：B

解析：前句籠統(tǒng)說(shuō)到home-based businesses，本句說(shuō)到巴西的農(nóng)民，可見(jiàn)這是舉例論證前面的論點(diǎn)。考生記�。骸爸黝}句+支撐句”是英語(yǔ)議論文常規(guī)模式。

56. 答案：C

解析：由本句中的now …worldwide可見(jiàn)這是進(jìn)行了今昔對(duì)比，現(xiàn)在在全球市場(chǎng)內(nèi)銷售，那么過(guò)去只能在本地的露天市場(chǎng)。

57. 答案：D

解析：由后句中的…the poor…h(huán)ave been left behind.可知貧富差距在擴(kuò)大，故widen（擴(kuò)大）合適。find找到；explore開(kāi)發(fā)；bridge彌合。

58. 答案：B

解析：本句是說(shuō)只有一部分發(fā)展中國(guó)家實(shí)際上受益于融合進(jìn)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)，根據(jù)后面的the poor, unskilled…可知這是對(duì)比。解題關(guān)鍵是抓住only一詞。

59. 答案：A

解析：前面說(shuō)全球化會(huì)導(dǎo)致貧富差距擴(kuò)大，然后又說(shuō)全球化會(huì)威脅新出現(xiàn)的市場(chǎng)�？梢�(jiàn)這是一種遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。furthermore而且；therefore因此；however但是；otherwise否則。

60. 答案：C

解析：本句是說(shuō)受益于全球化經(jīng)濟(jì)的印度手工業(yè)者們本來(lái)會(huì)出口產(chǎn)品，現(xiàn)在很快就會(huì)面臨激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。這里的soon就暗示了前后是一個(gè)對(duì)比關(guān)系。

61. 答案：B

解析：本句前面說(shuō)面臨激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，然后說(shuō)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)會(huì)讓他們實(shí)業(yè)。out of business實(shí)業(yè)；out of trouble擺脫麻煩；out of power喪失權(quán)力的；out of mind心不在焉，忘卻。

62. 答案：A

解析：本句是說(shuō)像沃爾瑪?shù)却笮统�市的到�?lái)，這些小企業(yè)將無(wú)能維持下去并將被排擠出局。尤其要注意and后的be crowded out，所填的詞應(yīng)該和它是并列關(guān)系。

63. 答案：D

解析：結(jié)合下句所說(shuō)：科技的進(jìn)步和更加開(kāi)放的政策的結(jié)合已經(jīng)創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)相互聯(lián)系的世界。故可推斷本句以為全球化不可逆轉(zhuǎn)，即沒(méi)有回頭路。turn back回頭，符合句意。

64. 答案：D

解析：文章綜合了對(duì)全球化的不同觀點(diǎn)，最后說(shuō)到目前的難題是找到一個(gè)可行的方法。agreement協(xié)議；prediction預(yù)測(cè)；outcome結(jié)果；challenge挑戰(zhàn)，難題。
