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

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
