问答题Directions: Read the following texts from which five sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences A—G the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text (1—5). There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Practice 1 1 ______ For this reason, there is a current boom in language learning for business people. But unless they can speak a foreign language really well, it is best to save it for socializing. 2 ______ And psychologists say that your body language is much more important than what you say. Doing the wrong thing, making eye contact, touching, using people’s first names, even how you eat and drink—can all be hazardous for people who are unfamiliar with certain cultures. 3 ______ In low context cultures such as North America, Britain, Sweden and Germany, people say things very plainly, and rely on clear verbal communication. High context cultures such as France, Japan, Spain, Saudi Arabia, China and South Korea often use silence or hand signals to communicate, and this can sometimes be as important as speaking. 4 ______ In Japan, people bow to each other. In England, people shake hands firmly, but not very often—while in places like Italy and France people shake hands all the time but not as firmly as the English. The Germans and the Danish nod their heads while they shake hands, as a mark of respect, while people in Mediterranean countries sometimes lean their heads backwards while doing the same thing. 5 ______ For example, the British kiss each other once, on the right cheek, the French kiss each other twice, first on the left cheek and then on the right, but in some cultures, especially in the Middle East, they kiss up to four times and still shake hands![A] But actions speak louder than words.[B] Trying to make people from other cultures feel comfortable can be confusing as well.[C] One of the most important aspects of doing business internationally is being able to speak other languages.[D] Some cultures communicate by using signals.[E] Cultures are divided into “low context” and “high context”.[F] Shaking hands is often the most common form of greeting people, but even this can create problems.[G] As a rule, though, close physical greetings such as kissing are not a good idea.正确答案： 1.C 空后说“因此,对商务人士而言,语言学习成为一种潮流”。C项讲的是“国际商务具备的一个重要方面就是讲外语的能力”。符合逻辑关系。故选C。
2.A 本段是讲肢体语言的作用。A项说“行动胜于话语”,与下文内容最为连贯,故选A。
3.E 本段分别提到在“low/high context cultures”环境下肢体动作和语言的差异和重要性。E项“Cultures are divided into “low context” and “high context”.”引出本段要讨论的两大文化环境下的交流差异,最能概括本段内容。故选E。
4.F 本段讲到不同国家握手时的差异。F项说“握手是同人打招呼的最常见的方式,但即使这样,也可能会出问题”能够概括本段大意。故选F。
5.G 本段提到不同国家亲吻礼的差别,表明即使是选择这种方式也不一定是好的选择。G项说“亲密的问候方式,比如亲吻,并非好主意”,可以作为本段中心句。故选G。解析： 暂无解析 -
第7题：
问答题The extract below comes from an article which appeared in a magazine called Society Today. You read the extract and have strong feelings about its contents, and decide to write an article, in which you respond to the points made and express your own views. You should write the article in no fewer than 120 words. Now write your letter on the answer sheet.正确答案：
The Influence of Popular CultureIt seems that image and appearance are attracting more and more attention in the modern world which is full of material desires. Some believe that it is the rise of popular culture including the media, sport and the fashion industry to blame. It is definitely true that this has somewhat brought about some shallow and egoistic people. However, we absolutely should not attribute this to the popular culture itself.
Popular culture, opposite to exquisite culture, is easy to appreciate and comprehend and is oriented to the common people. Being popular does not mean emphasizing the appearance. The reason why they mislead some people is that they have developed a false concept in their mind. They believe anything popular must be presentational and only related to outer appearance.
Whether the influence of popular culture is positive or negative depends on how people perceive and treat them. Properly used, they can instruct and entertain the public; on the contrary, they can also produce a generation of skin-deep people.解析： 暂无解析 -

7.A 这句话的意思是:Rachel Cains想要找出公司什么时候开始交易的。这是属于公司历史(Company History)这一方面的,所以选A。
8.B 本题的意思是:Hazel Thomas想要知道人事主管的名字。人事部门应该属于公司组织(Company Organization),所以选B。
9.C 这句话的意思是:Dominic Noble想要找出公司去年的表现如何。C项“年度报告”中会包括公司去年的业绩。
10.F 本题的意思是:Benjamin Tidswell需要离他最近的Sky Systems经销商的地址。由此可知他应该选择F项“零售店”。解析： 暂无解析 -

Tim Longman wants to have a general knowledge of the development of Ireland. 9. Scott Forrest needs to know the locations of the agency’s offices. 10. Joshua Golder wants to find out which companies have invested in Ireland.正确答案： 6.B 本题的意思是“Sarah Lee想要了解爱尔兰在研究方面的实力。”“Research and Innovation”(研究与创新)部分应该会介绍爱尔兰的研究情况。因此应该选B。
7.E 本题的意思是“Barrie Watson需要一份董事会成员的名单。”“Board and Committees of the Board 2007”中应该会有对发展署董事会的介绍。对董事会成员的介绍以及对各个委员会功能及其成员的介绍通常会包括在报告中的这个部分。所以E为正确选项。
8.A 本题的意思是“Tim Longman想要初步了解一下爱尔兰的发展情况。”公司或组织的年度报告中“Chairman and CEO Overview”中一般会包含对发展情况的简略描述。公司的发展概况一般也包括在这个部分。所以A项正确。
9.G 本题的意思是“Scott Forrest需要知道发展署的各个办事处的地点。”该机构的构成情况会在“Organisational Structure and IDA Offices”这个部分中给予简单的介绍,并且IDA在各地的办事处的地址及联系方式也会出现在这个部分,所以正确选项为G。
10.C 本题的意思是“Joshua Golder想要弄清哪些公司已经在爱尔兰投资了。”关键词“invest”可以作为本题的解题线索,根据排除法即可发现C项正确。爱尔兰投资的主要企业会在年度报告的“Investment High—lights”这一部分列举出来。因此C项正确。解析： 暂无解析 -

第12题：
问答题Passage 8 ● Read the magazine article below about a company which checks on the service provided by shops. ● Choose the correct word to fill each gap, from A, B or C on the opposite page. ● For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.SECRET SHOPPERS Tim Wright knows all about making companies more efficient. His firm, Check-up, sends ‘secret shoppers’ into retail and leisure companies (29)______ order to make sure that customers are receiving good service. After (30)______ visit, the secret shoppers prepare a report for the company to let them know (31)______ good or bad the service was. ‘Companies like to know,’ says Mr. Wright, ‘that (32)______ customers go into a store just a few minutes before closing time, they will (33)______ get good service.’ Check-up (34)______ set up in the west of England in 1992 and (35)______ two years moved to London so it could offer a nationwide service. (36)______ the last three years, Check-up’s profits have (37)______ dramatically as companies have come to realize (38)______ great importance of good customer service. Having started with just; three employees, Check-up now has a staff (39)______ sixty-five and last week (40)______ an important new contract with a major supermarket chain. 29. A in B by C on 30. A our B his C their 31. A whether B how C if 32. A while B when C. As 33. A still B yet C. Already 34. A has B is C was 35. A until B. After C later 36. A From B During C Since 37. A increase B increasing C increased 38. A this B that C the 39. A of B. At C too 40. A sign B signed C signing正确答案： 29.A in order to固定搭配,意为“目的是……”,这里的意思是“他的公司,Check-up,会派遣秘密的购物者去零售和休闲公司,目的是保证顾客收到良好的服务”。
30.C 这里需要填入的是人称代词的所有格形式,又因为此处指的是“secret shoppers”,所以用复数第三人称的所有格形式,their。
31.B how可以修饰形容词、副词、动词,“how good or bad the service was”作动词know的宾语,意思是“服务有多么地好或者是有多么地不好”。如果选A项,则正确的形式是whether the service was good or bad。whether用作连词,意思是“是否,是不是”,可与or或or not连用,除引出宾语从句外,还可引出主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句或与不定式连用,但其后不接形容词。
32.B 词义辨析题。While、when和as这些连词均可表示“当…时”引出时间状语从句。when所引导的从句,其谓语动词既可是持续动词,也可是短暂动词;谓语动词动作发生的时间可以与主句谓语动词的动作是同时,或之前、之后。这里的“go into a store”发生在主句中的“get good service”之前,所以选when。而while句中的谓语动词应为持续动词,不用短暂动词,谓语动作发生的时间通常与主句谓语动词动作发生时间是同时。as侧重指从句与主句的动作同时进行,谓语动词可以是持续性的,可以是短暂性动词。
33.A still用作副词时,意思是“还,仍旧,尚”,这里的意思是“他们仍然会得到良好的服务”。而yet多用于疑问句或否定句。already一般用于肯定句中,与动词搭配时,静态动词多用一般式,动态动词多用完成式,already不用于一般将来时。
34.C 空格后提到了一个时间点“in 1992”,由此可知这里应该是过去时,所以选was。
35.B 这里的意思是“两年后搬到了伦敦”,所以选after。
36.B during可以表示一定时间中的某个时间点,意思是“当…之际”;还可表示一定时间中的某个时间段,意思是“在…期间”;during也可表示延续某事件的全过程,意思是“在…整个期间内”。所以这里选during,意思是“在过去的三年里”。from只表示某事的起点,后面接的是一个时间点,而这里“the last three years”是一个时间段,所以可以排除from。since用作介词的意思是“从…以来,自从…之后”,其宾语常指过去的一个时间点,所以since也可以排除。
37.C 这里是现在完成时,所以应该用increase的过去分词形式increased。
38.C the importance of意为“…的重要性”,常用表达方式。
39.A of用于说明数量、价值或年龄,a staff of sixty-five意为“六十五个员工”。
40.B 空格前出现了last week,故可知这里的时态是过去时,所以选signed。解析： 暂无解析 -

21. A. being
B. be
C. had
D. has
正确答案：A21．答案为A 此处测试句法。注意判定在after (21) knocked down短语中，填充处应是名词。 being knocked down的意思为“被撞倒”，故选A为答案。

30.B 把某些人排除在外,应用except。故选B。
31.C 关于某个话题发表演讲,应该用介词on。
32.A 该空后的compared与reported并列。表示并列关系应该用and,故选A。
33.B 此处its指代Harcourt Electronics’。故选B。
34.B 句意:然而,他指出员工千万不能松懈…。must not指“一定不能”。
35.C 该句谓语为过去时态,从该空后面的not fully recovered可知此处应用过去完成时,表示“仍未”。故选C。
36.A will后面加动词原形,故选A。
37.B 此处关系代词who指代前文eight more sales staff。故选B。

问答题Passage 6 ● Read the advertisement below about the features of a website. ● Choose the correct word to fill each gap from A, B or C on the opposite page. ● For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B, or C) on your Answer Sheet.Our Features At insurance, co.uk we know (29)______ searching for the right insurance (30)______ be difficult but we make (31)______ easier for you. There are some great and unique features (32)______ on our site. They help you make the right choice, as well as saving you time and money. Our comprehensive policy comparison feature provides a simple and clear reference of (33)______ is, or isn’t, included (34)______ the cost of your car insurance policy. (35)______ you receive your car insurance quote results, we let you choose up to four insurers (36)______ compare the policy benefits and extras included. It’s an easy way (37)______ ensuing all your requirements are covered and helps you make the right decision (38)______ your insurance policy. We give you the option to compare potential car insurance providers by an independent service rating as well as price and policy benefits. Our simple five spot rating (39)______ based on overall customer satisfaction. It represents the scores given (40)______ previous or current customers of the insurer. 29. A that B this C those 30. A shall B should C can 31. A them B it C this 32. A include B including C included 33. A what B that C which 34. A to B of C in 35. A. Although B When C Because 36. A. And B but C As 37. A for B to C of 38. A by B on C with 39. A is B. Are C was 40. A from B by C to正确答案： 29.A 如果把this,that,those这三个选项看作指示形容词,this和that可以修饰不可数名词或可数名词的单数,this修饰的是前面提到过的名词,that修饰的是将要提到的名词。Those则是修饰可数名词的复数形式。因为上文没有被指代者,所以空格处不能填this;因为动名词searching应该看作不可数名词,所以不能填those。那么就只有that,而实际上that在这里不是指示形容词,而是作关系代词,引导一个宾语从句。因此A项正确。
30.C shall和should的意思都是“应该”,can表示“可能”。文中要表达的是可能性的推测。因此C项正确。
31.B 空格处所缺的词是一个代词,用以指代前面的“searching for the right insurance”,而动名词短语应该当作不可数名词看待,那么them应该首先排除。this可以看作是this one中的one省略掉的形式,然而this one只能指代可数名词的单数,所以也可以排除。it既可以指代不可数名词,也可以指代可数名词的单数。因此B项正确。
32.C 空格所在句子的结构是there be结构。在此结构中,句子的谓语就是be动词,所以应该排除include,因为一个单句是不能有两个谓语动词,而它是一个谓语动词。including和included都是非谓语动词,可以用来修饰“features”。但是因为“features”不是包括了网站而是被包括在网站里,所以应该用过去分词表示被动。因此C项正确。
33.A 关系代词的用法是本题考查的内容。虽然that、which、what都是关系代词,但是要与“…is,or isn’t,included…the cost of your car insurance policy”构成从句,作介词“of”的宾语,且要在其引导的从句中充当主语,就只能用what,因为“what”与“the thing(s)that”的意思相当。因此A项正确。
34.C “be included in…”的意思是“包括在…中”,因此C项正确。
35.B 在选择关联词时,需要理解句子之间的逻辑关系。although表示转折关系,because表示因果关系,应用到原句中会发现不符合逻辑。所以B项正确。
36.A 空格后的“compare”与前面的“choose”形成并列关系,而且没有转折的意思,因此应该选A。
37.C “the way to do sth.”或“the way of doing sth.”的意思是“做…的方法”,因此C项正确。
38.B “make a decision on sth.”意思是“对某事做出决定”,介词on有时用about替换,因此B项正确。
39.A “rating”是空格所在句子的主语,所以谓语动词应为第三人称单数,所以应排除“are”。又因为文中介绍的内容是一般情况,时态应该是一般现在时,所以应排除“was”。因此A项正确。
40.B 通过上下文的内容可知,依据客户对保险公司的满意度确立了五点评级体系(five spot rating),那么保险公司以前和现在的客户决定(previous or current customers of the insurer)保险公司的得分(scores),因此应该选B项。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 7 ● Look at the list below. It shows the departments of a company. ● For questions 6-10, decide in which department (A-H) each person on the opposite page works. ● For each question, mark one letter (A-H) on your Answer Sheet. ● Do not use any letter more than once. A Customer service department B Design department C Engineering department D Facilities department E Finance department F Human resources department G Legal department H Shipping and receiving department 6. Richard Saunders is responsible for accepting materials from their suppliers. 7. John Knight and his team are responsible for the maintenance of the company building. 8. Gina Theismann is dealing with the complaints from a customer. 9. Robin Seaton is working on the training plan for the new employees. 10. Helen Marsden and her team are making the company’s budget for next year.正确答案： 6.H 本题的意思是“Richard Saunders负责从他们的供货商那里接收材料。”对外运送产品或材料和接受供货商提供的材料是Shipping and receiving department的主要职责。所以应选H项。
7.D 本题的意思是“John Knight和他的团队负责维护公司大楼。”维护公司的各种设施和设备,包括公司的大楼等建筑是Facilities department的职责, 因此应选D项。
8.A 本题的意思是“Gina Theismann正在处理顾客投诉。”为客户提供帮助,并尽可能使他们感到满意就是Customer service department(客服服务部)的职责。当客户有不满意之处,当然也会向客户服务部投诉。因此应选A项。
9.F 本题的意思是“Robin Seaton正在为新员工制定培训计划。”Human resources department(人力资源部)也称为Personnel department,它的职责很多,包括员工的聘用、解雇、薪酬、培训、绩效评估等。因此F项正确。
10.E 本题的意思是“Helen Marsden和她的团队正在制作公司明年的预算。”管理公司所有与财务有关的事务的部门是Finance department,它通常还包括预算部(budget department)、会计部(accounting department) 和薪酬部(payroll department)。因此E项正确。解析： 暂无解析 -

Computer services provider McDonald wants to find out about ways of making useful contacts in other companies.正确答案： 6.G 题干中的关键信息为 a talk on the benefits of updating employees’ marketing skills。要听关于提高雇员营销技能好处的讲座,就该去Well-trained staff—an important marketing too1“训练有素的员工是重要的营销工具”这个讲座。
7.D 欲了解the effectiveness of computer graphics when giving talks to major clients“计算机图形在向客户介绍产品时的好处”时,应该去听 IT in presentations—what’s available and how to use it“演讲时利用IT技术的好处和怎样使用它”的讲座。
8.B 题干中的关键信息为advertises 和make more effective use of the company’s website“更好地利用该公司网站登广告”,因此应去Improving e-marketing performance“改善网络营销的业绩”的讲座。

问答题Passage 6Question 8-12 ● Read this text which is about issues of health and safety in a factory. ● Choose the best sentence from the list A-G to fill each of the blanks. ● For each blank (8-12) mark one letter (A–G) on your Answer Sheet. ● Do not mark any letter twice. ● One answer has been given as an example.MAKE BIETANM A MOST FAVORED NATION For 25 years, Vietnam has been an open sore on the U.S. body politic: It not only ate up thousands of American lives and billions of US dollars, but also often reminded the Americans of bitter failure (0)______. Only in the past year has Washington begun rebuilding links by allowing aid from international organizations and lifting the trade embargo. But that's not enough (8)______.. The Key step is to grant most-favored-nation status to Vietnam, letting Vietnamese goods enter the U.S. at favorable tariff rates (9)______.. Why MFN for Vietnam? (10)______.. Strained trade relations between the two countries make it less likely that American companies will get their share of these contracts. (11)______.. In both the North and South, Americans are highly regarded, and American companies are welcomed as a counter-balance to Japanese, Chinese, and European investment. Granting MFN to Vietnam is sure to be controversial (12)______.. But it should be taken seriously. A. The U.S. government may not like a heated dispute on this neglectable issue. B. The U.S. response to defeat was to block international did and forbid American companies to do business there. C. Moreover, despite the conflicts of the past, Vietnam could be a tremendous ally for the U.S. D. It’s time now to move toward establishing normal ties with Vietnam whose economy is growing 8% a year. E. To start with，Vietnam will sign contracts involving billions on telecommunications，power plants，and airliners. F. Given the trouble of Clinton Administration’s foreign policy，the issue will be held in suspension. G. That would give Vietnam equal footing with most other countries，including Russia and—at least for now—China.正确答案： 8.C 本空前一句话说“但是,这还不够”。此句中的应该承接前一句话,选项C 中的开头moreover正好相符,意思是“尽管过去有冲突,对于美国来说越南可以成为一大伙伴”。这是可以当做是美国给予越南最惠国待遇的一个理由。由此可见,正确答案是C。
9.D 空格前一句“关键的一步是给予越南最惠国的地位,让越南的产品以最优惠的税率进入美国”。这里的tariff rate意为“税率”。空格后一句“为什么要给予越南最惠国待遇”。由此可以推断空格处所填的内容应该是美国与越南建立的关系。D项“现在是时候向前行,与每年经济增长率为8%的越南建立正常的关系”符合题意。
10.E 此空格后一句话的意思是“两国紧张的贸易关系使得美国公司不可能得到这些合同中属于他们的份额”。这里的these contracts应该指代空格里的内容,由此可以推断空格处会出现与合同有关的内容,只有E项符合。
11.G 在剩余的选项A、G、F中,A、F项中都出现the issue这与空格前面的内容不符,故可以给予排除。G项中的that指代前文中的内容,意思是“这样会使得越南与俄罗斯,至少现在是中国的大多数的国家处于平等的地位”。
12.F 空格前一句的意思是“给予越南特惠国待遇肯定会引起争议的”。F项句中的the issue指代前一句的Granting MFN to Vietnam,意思是“假如克林顿政府外交政策上遇到麻烦,这个问题将会暂时搁置起来”;全句内容与后一句正好是转折关系,由But联接故F为最佳答案。解析： 暂无解析 -
第22题：
问答题Passage 9 ● Read the article below about time management. ● Choose the correct word to fill each gap, from A, B or C on the opposite page. ● For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.Time management Until recently, books on how to manage your time at work were seen as a bit of a joke in the business world. Many were enjoyable to read (29)______ weren’t taken seriously. (30)______ told their readers to dress well, be positive, decide (31)______ they were going and then use (32)______ valuable minute to make sure they got there. One very successful book, first published twenty years (33)______ and still available in bookshops, is The One-Minute Manager. It tells the story of a keen young man who wants to learn (34)______ about how to be a top-performing executive. The authors believe that most people (35)______ the day putting (36)______ problems, or when they do try to solve (37)______ don’t do enough. According (38)______ the authors, having achievable targets should be a manager’s aim. Managers everywhere should read (39)______ book carefully, in order to benefit from (40)______ sensible advice. 29. A but B or C even 30. A It B They C We 31. A where B who C why 32. A some B. All C every 33. A before B. Ago C since 34. A lot B much C more 35. A spend B spending C spent 36. A. About B over C off 37. A them B these C those 38. A for B from C to 39. A the B one C. A 40. A their B his C its正确答案： 29.A 根据句子结构可知,这里需要一个连词,even属副词,不作连接词,可以排除。空格前的意思是“很多人乐于去读这些书”;空格后的意思是“他们不认真对待”,由此可知前后意思是转折的关系,所以选but。or为并列连词,含有选择意义,必须连接同等成分的词、短语或句子,并使用同一种形式。
30.B 这里缺少一个主语,结合选项可知这里应该是一个人称代词。根据句意,空格处应指代的是books,所以选第三人称代词的复数形式they。
31.A 空格处所填的词与后面的内容构成宾语从句,作decide的宾语。where用作连接副词,可以引导宾语从句,所以选A。
32.C 空格后的minute用的是单数形式,这三个选项中只有every能够修饰名词单数形式,所以选every。
33.B 这里应该表示的是过去的时间点,所以选ago。twenty years ago意为“二十年前”。 before既可作副词,也可作介词,如在three hours before中为副词。在before three o’clock中为介词,但要注意before不能在表示“一段时间”的词前作介词,不能说before twenty years,可说twenty years ago。
34.C 这里的意思是“这本书讲述了一个敏锐的年轻人的故事,他想要学习更多如何成为表现出色的执行总监”,所以选代词more。
35.A believe后面跟的是that从句,而且整篇文章用的都是现在时,主语是复数形式,所以用动词原形spend。
36.C or后面提到了另外一种情况,即是“他们试图去解决问题,但是做得还不够”,故可知这里应该是不去解决问题。put off固定搭配,意为“推迟,拖延”,用在文中符合文意。
37.A 这里需要填入一个代词,指代problems,所以选复数第三人称的宾格形式them。
38.C according to固定搭配,意为“根据”。
39.A 前文中提到了这本书,所以选定冠词the。
40.C 这里指这本书中明智的建议,所以应该选物主代词的所有格形式its。解析： 暂无解析 -
第23题：
问答题Practice 4 ● Look at the list below. It shows articles in a business website. ● For questions 6-10, decide which article (A-H) each person on the opposite page should read. ● For each question, mark one letter (A-H) on your Answer Sheet. ● Do not use any letter more than once. Articles A Setting up an Online Home Based Business—2 Mistakes to Avoid B Tips to Buying Property Abroad C How to Conduct an Interview? D Management Communication Techniques E Five Tips on Advertising Your Property F Honesty Proves Best Policy for Job Hunter G Land Investment—An Investors’ Guideline H Five Signs You’re in the Wrong Job 6. John Shawn wants to sell his house. 7. Robin Seaton is responsible for recruiting new staff. 8. Thomas Kingsley is looking for a new job. 9. Mary Kay would like to start business on the Internet. 10. James Bensen is going to buy a house in another country.正确答案： 6.E 本题的意思是“John Shawn想卖掉他的房子。”与房地产有关的文章是B、E、G这三篇文章,但B是关于国外买房的,而G是关于土地投资,因为E是与卖房有关的,这里的“Property”表示“房产”,所以E项正确。
7.C 本题的意思是“Robin Seaton负责招聘新员工。”面试是招聘新员工时必不可少的一个步骤,所以Robin Seaton应该读的文章是文章C “How to Conduct an Interview?”。因此C项正确。
8.F 本题的意思是“Thomas Kingsley正在找工作。”文章H是此题的干扰项,这篇文章描述的是入错行的五个迹象,针对的对象主要在职者。而Thomas Kingsley最应该读的文章是文章F“诚实是求职者的最佳策略”,因此F项正确。
9.A 本题的意思是“Mary Kay想在网上做生意。”根据A文章的题目可知,A文章应该是关于网上做生意的,所以在网上做生意的人应该了解本文章的内容,所以A项正确。
10.B 本题的意思是“James Bensen要在其他的国家买房子。”James Bensen应该读的文章是文章B“在国外购房的注意事项”。因此B项正确。解析： 暂无解析
