第5题：
资料：In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.
Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.
In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.
In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.
What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.
In the second example，more people choose the option（ ）？A.with a one-third probability that nobody will die
B.with a two-thirds probability that nobody will be saved
C.allowing 400 people to die
D.that 200 people will be saved答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】second example；more people choose the option
【主题句】in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中，人们更倾向于冒险，而不是杀死400人的特定结果。
【解析】本题的问题是“在第二个例子中，人们更倾向于哪个选择？”。根据原文可知，选项B以及选项D为第二个例子中的措辞，故排除B、D。（In a second example，the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.）结合主题句，“in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中，人们更倾向于冒险，而不是杀死400人的特定结果。”故选A。 -

How Technology Pushes Down Prices
1 Prices have fallen in the food business because of advances in food production and distribution tech-
nology.Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances.People who predicted that the world would
run out of food were wrong. We are producing more and more food with less and less capital.Food is there-
fore more plentiful and cheaper than it has ever been.Spending on food compared with other goods has fallen
for many years,and continues to drop.
2 Supermarkets have helped push down prices mainly because of their scale.Like any big business,
they can invest in IT systems that make them efficient. And their size allows them to buy in bulk.As super-
markets get bigger,the prices get lower.
3 Huge retail companies such as Wal-Mart have tremendous power and they can put pressure on pro-
ducers to cut their margins.As a result,some producers have had to make cuts.In recent years,Unilever
has cut its workforce by 33,000 to 245,000 and dropped lots of its minor brands as part of its"path to
growth"strategy.Cadbury has shut nearly 20 per cent of its 133 factories and cut 10 per cent of its 55,000
global workforce.These cuts help keep costs down,and the price of food stays low.
4 Does cheap food make people unhealthy?Cheap food may encourage people to eat more.Food corn-
panies certainly think that giving people more food for their money makes them buy more.Giving people bigger
portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal.That is why portions have got larger
and larger. In America,soft drinks came in 80z(225 g)cans in the past,then 120z(350g),and now
come in 200z(550g)cans.If a company can sell you an 80z portion for$7,they can sell you a 120z
portion for$8.The only extra cost to the company is the food,which probably costs 25 cents.
5 Now companies are under pressure to stop selling bigger portions for less money.But it is hard to
change the trend.Some food producers have reduced__________.
A:their workforce
B:huge portions
C:large quantities
D:their money
E:a good bargain
F: minor brands答案：D解析：文章第一段的主题句是第一句。这段主要讲食物价格下降的原因是生产和分配技术 的发展。
文章第二段主要讲的是超级市场因为规模大，能引进先进技术，故能提供低价格的 商品。
由文章第三段主题句“Huge retail companies...can put pressure on producers to cut theirmargins.”可知，超级零售商能迫使生产商降低商品价格。
文章第四段讲的是，食品公司给顾客提供每份量大的商品，能很容易使顾客感觉到他 们得到了一个大的折扣，这样顾客会买更多的商品。因此每份量大的食品价格便宜。
文章第二段提到“And their size allows them to buy in bulk.”其中in bulk = in large quantities。
文章第三段提到“As a result, some producers have had to make cuts."make cuts的意思 是“降价”。
文章第三段提到“Unilever...dropped lots of its minor brands...”由此可知答案为F。
文章第四段提到“Giving people bigger portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal.”其中a better deal = a good bargain。 -

正确答案： B解析：
题目问的是：为什么温室气体是生态透支的最好指示器之一？根据文章第8段“Because the global economy is still overwhelmingly fossil-fuel dependent, the accumulation of greenhouse gases.., remain our best indicators of ‘overshoot’”可知全球经济太过依赖化石燃料，所以累积起来的温室气体指示了生态环境的透支程度。故选D。 -

They (10) _______hire thousands of engineers, scientists, clerks, typists and secretaries to work onthe many different aspects of defense.正确答案：
1.在instead和on之间加of instead of是固定结构,表示“而不是”。
2.like改为as such as为固定结构,表示列举或举例。
3.has改成have 该句主语是复数名词advances。
4.去掉hand前面的the by hand手工地,用手。
5.it改为them 此处的代词指代的应是such electrical appliances,故用them。
6.在leads和changes之间加to或把leads改为causes lead to为固定结构。cause可作及物动词,后面直接跟宾语。
7.down改成up 根据上下文可知此句意为“收入上升了,人们对吃穿的要求不一定会增加”。
8.Nevertheless改为Therefore/Consequently 此处表达的应为因果关系,而非转折关系。
9.works改成work/jobs work当“工作”讲是不可数名词,而job是可数名词。
10.international改为national 根据上文可推断各国政府各自采取的是全国范围的防御,而非国际范围内的防御。解析： 暂无解析 -

【参考译文】
由于食品生产技术和分销技术的进步,食品价格已经下降。消费者从中获益很大。预测食品会用光的人们是错误的。我们正在用越来越少的成本生产越来越多的食物。食品因此也比以前更加丰富便宜。和其他的商品比,花在食品上的钱多年来一直下降,并将持续下降。
超市由于其规模促进了价格下降。和其他商业一样,他们可以利用IT技术提高效率。其规模实现了大批量购买。随着超市变大,价格也变的更低。
像沃尔玛这样的大零售商凭借强大的力量,给生产商施加压力来削减利润。因此,生产商不得不降价。近几年,联合利华已经裁员33000至245000人。为了战略发展还砍掉了很多小名牌。Cadbury关闭了133家工厂中的20%,全球员工55000中裁掉了10%。这些裁员都有助于降低价格,所以食品价格居低不上。
便宜的食品不健康吗?便宜食品可能鼓励人们吃的更多。食品公司当然认为,顾客花钱能够买到更多的食品,当然还会买更多。份量大可以让顾客感觉得了便宜,这就是为什么分量越来越大的原因。在美国,软饮料过去是225克装,然后是350克装,现在是550克。如果225克装的卖7美元,他们就会给350克装的定价8美元。对于公司来说,额外成本仅仅是可能只值25美分的食物。
现在公司不得不以价换量,但这种趋势很难改变。解析： 暂无解析 -
