37、, B, C or D. (40 points)【知识模块】 阅读1 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 空白处的前一句举了一位 49 岁妇女在肾移植手术以后拒服必要的药物的例子。空白处的后一句说拒绝与医务人员合作的病人会给自己、给社会带来什么害处。我们必须注意到后一句的病人是泛指的，当然应该包括这位 49 岁的妇女在内，因此将 D(“像这样不合作的事情并非仅此一例。”)填入空白处可以将上下文更完美地连接起来。【知识模块】 阅读2 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 空白处的前一句说到应该更多地强调心理学在药物治疗中的作用。E 说有证据表明，对缺乏安全感的病人进行心理治疗可增加医患之间的合作。前后两句话是

38、连贯的，而且 they added 还在一定程度上起到了提示作用，故 E 为最佳选项。【知识模块】 阅读3 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 空白处的前一句讲了一个小男孩在做心脏移植手术前脾气非常暴躁的故事。空白处的后面几句叙述了如何解决这个小男孩的心理障碍问题。F 说“后来这种愤怒被认为是他要争取作为一个病人的权利”，正好起着承上启下的作用。由于医务人员有这种认识才有后面的好结果。【知识模块】 阅读4 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 空白处的前一句说“一旦他的想法被认可，他的怒气就消退了”，所以 B 项所说的“他明显地安静多了，并且变成了一个服从治疗的好病人”是自然而然的结果。【知识模块】 阅读5

39、 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 空白处的前一句说“根据一项调查，有一半的病人并不想吃药，但仍然开了很多药”，C 说“在这种情况下医嘱被置之脑后也就不足为怪了 ”，这种连接是顺理成章的。【知识模块】 阅读【知识模块】 阅读6 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 前面一句讲了我们从大海捕捉大量的鱼供人们食用，这句接着讲“甚至连鱼的骨头也被用来做化肥”。Even 这个词在这里清楚地表示了这两句话的关系。【知识模块】 阅读7 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 这句话的前一句讲的是我们可以通过水的蒸发从海水中得到一种矿物质盐，这句话则说除了盐之外，水蒸发以后还有别的矿物质留下来。【知识模块】 阅读8 【正确答案】

40、 A【试题解析】 前面讲到除了矿物质外，大海还给了我们珍珠、海绵和海草这三样东西。接着作者分别用一句话来说明每一样东西的用途。先讲了珍珠，最后讲的是海草。所以这中间的一句应该是讲海绵的用途了。【知识模块】 阅读9 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 前一句话说了我们不能喝海水，这句话解释了为什么不能喝，很自然。【知识模块】 阅读10 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 前面一句话用 garbage 一词有力地回答了“我们给予大海什么”这个带有自责性的问题，这句话则是对这个简单回答的具体解释。【知识模块】 阅读【知识模块】 阅读11 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本段第二句和第三句话都以人称代词 they

41、作主语，但所指不明。在大多数情况 F，其指代对象应在同一段落的前文中找。 C 与这两个句子在结构和意思上都是平行的，时态也一致，而且用 travel operators 这个名词去替代这两个句子中的 they 都讲得通。【知识模块】 阅读12 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 这一句继续讲旅游策划专家的工作，它同本段前三句话在时态、结构和意思上一致或平行。【知识模块】 阅读13 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 指示词 thisthat 及其复数形式在英语中是重要的衔接手段，多数情况下 this 指上文刚刚提到的事情或说过的话。本段第一句话说旅游顾问召开研讨会使代理人熟悉新业务和销售技巧。承接这句话，

42、F 说“通过这种方式，代理人学会了怎样对旅行目的地加以解释以及向游客建议各种不同的旅行方式及组合方式，如飞机、船、火车、公共汽车、汽车出租，甚至汽车的购买。”“这种方式”就是指上一句话中的召开研讨会，因而 F 是最合适的选项。【知识模块】 阅读14 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 本段第一句话说地产业主和旅行社携手合作，兼顾客户利益和自身收益，制订出最合适的合同。E 实际上进一步阐述了二者之间相互依赖的紧密关系。【知识模块】 阅读15 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 写文章讲究句子和段落之间的衔接。第四段讲到了地产业主和旅行社之间相互依赖的合作关系，A 说“旅行社和运输公司之间也存在同样的相互信任

43、 ”。像 same，different(ly) ，similar(ly)otherwise 这样的词语有很强的衔接力，属于指称衔接(reference)中的比较衔接。下一句话详细解释旅行社和运输公司之间的关系，进一步印证了应该选 A。【知识模块】 阅读【知识模块】 阅读16 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 从文章结构上看，第一段提出要讨论三种主要的金融风险：商业风险、政治风险和外汇风险。第三、四段的主题句告诉我们这两段分别讨论了政治风险和外汇风险，第二段自然是谈商业风险，用 C 作该段主题句是最合适的。【知识模块】 阅读17 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本段第二、三句话列举了商业风险的种种表现

44、形式，B 说：“国际市场独有的一种风险与金融调节有关。”后一句话的主语 Such risk 指的就是这一独特的风险，such 在句子之间起到了衔接作用。【知识模块】 阅读18 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本句和前一句举例说明因产品质量争议而引起的所谓国际市场独有的商业风险。本句主语 The distributor 指的就是上句中出现的 a distributor in Germany，这里 distributor 通过重复在句子之间起到了衔接作用。【知识模块】 阅读19 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本段主要谈政治风险，因而选项 A 最合适。【知识模块】 阅读20 【正确答案】 E【试题解析

45、】 本段主要谈外汇风险，E 说：“世界主要货币的浮动汇率制迫使所有商家特别关注汇率的波动，并意识到需要调整金融财务计划来作补偿。”后一句以国际商用机器公司为例说明这一情况。【知识模块】 阅读【知识模块】 阅读21 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 文章第一段给公关下定义，其中特别提到公关包括对外宣传。把 C放在这里起承接上一段，引出下一段的作用。【知识模块】 阅读22 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 前一句说这种组织设置会成为一种限制，因为公关部门或顾问很可能和营销部门有不能协调一致的地方，那么这种情况会造成什么后果呢?F 说：“可能会导致沟通不畅、彼此不合作的后果。”这两句话放在一起意思连贯、顺畅

46、。E似乎也能构成答案，但语气过于肯定，所述内容过于具体，上下文没有足够的信息使之成为合适的选项。【知识模块】 阅读23 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 A 说：“对外宣传可以由公关部门发起，采取能为公司带来良好影响的新闻发布的形式。”后一句说另一方面，宣传也不能脱离营销部门，因为它是对正规广告宣传的一种有益补充。这两句话从两个不同的方面谈对外宣传的运作方式及其意义，意思连贯，On the other hand 起了衔接作用，属于连接衔接(conjunction)。【知识模块】 阅读24 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 B 说：“此外，并非所有的宣传都由公司发起，有些宣传来自媒体的反应，即由于公司颇有争议甚至十分不明智地采取了或未采取某些行动而引起的媒体的负面反应。”这句话和前两句都是谈公司的对外宣传，可以自然地构成一个段落，furthermore 起了衔接作用，也属于连接衔接。【知识模块】 阅读25 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 前一句说：“我们想强调的一点是如果公司认为事关公众形象的一切问题或机遇可以由从事公关的部门(无论是公司内部部门还是子公司)处理好，那是自欺欺人。”这是从反面说明问题，D 说：“有众多因素作用于公众形象。 ”这是从正面说明问题，一正一反都要说明公众形象不是专门的公关部门町以独立做好的简单事情，下文是对众多影响因素的进一步解释。【知识模块】 阅读
