1、UNIT ONETEXT ONETesco is preparing a legal battle to clear its name of involvement in the dairy price-fixing scandal that has cost consumers 270 million. Failure to prove that it had no part in collusion with other supermarkets and dairy processors may land it with a fine of at least 80 million. The

2、 Office of Fair Trading (OFT) said yesterday that Asda, Sainsburys and the former Safeway, plus the dairy companies Wiseman, Dairy Crest and Cheese Company, had admitted being in a cartel to fix prices for milk, butter and cheese. They were fined a total of just over 116 million as part of a lenienc

3、y deal offered by the watchdog to companies that owned up quickly to anti-competitive behaviour. Officials at the OFT admitted privately that they did not think they would ever discover which company or individual had initiated the pricing formula. But the watchdog recognises that at the time superm

4、arkets were under pressure from politicians and farmers to raise the cost of milk to save dairy farming, though it is not certain that money found its way to farmers. The OFT claimed in September that it had found evidence that the retail chains had passed future milk prices to dairy companies, whic

5、h then reached a fixed price among themselves. The average cost to each household is thought to be 11.25 over 2002 and 2003. Prices went up an extra 3p on a pint of milk, 15p on a quarter of a pound of butter and 15p on a half pound of cheese. There is no direct recompense for consumers, however, an

6、d the money will go to the Treasury. The National Consumer Council gave warning that the admissions would dent consumer confidence in leading high street names and that people would become sceptical of their claims. Farmers For Action, the group of farmers that has led protests over low milk prices

7、since 2000, is seeking legal advice on whether it can now bring a claim for compensation. The OFT investigation is continuing, however, in relation to Tesco, Morrisons and the dairy group Lactalis McLelland, and any legal action is expected to be delayed until that is completed. Tesco was defiant an

8、d said that it was preparing a robust defence of its actions. Lucy Neville-Rolfe, its executive director, said: “As we have always said, we acted independently and we did not collude with anyone. Our position is different from our competitors and we are defending our own case vigorously. Our philoso

9、phy is to give a good deal to customers.” Morrisons has supported the OFT in inquiries into the former Safeway business that it took over, but in a statement said that it was still making “strong representations” in its defence. A spokeswoman for Lactalis McLelland said that the company was “co-oper

10、ating” with the OFT. Industry insiders suggested that the three companies were deliberately stalling the OFT investigation. Sainsburys admitted yesterday that it had agreed to pay 26 million in fines, but denied that it had sought to profiteer. Justin King, the chief executive, said he was disappoin

11、ted that the company had been penalised for actions meant to help farmers but recognised the benefit of a speedy settlement. Asda declined to say how much it would pay in fines and also said that its intention had been to help farmers under severe financial pressure. 1. From the first paragraph, we

From the first paragraph, we may infer that _由第一段可以推斷出_A Tesco is the most resolute among all the retailers to defend its reputation.A 在所有的零售商中，Tesco 捍衛(wèi)其名譽(yù)的態(tài)度最為堅(jiān)決。B it is already proved that Tesco has c

20、olluded with Asda, Wiseman, Dairy Crest and Cheese Company in fixing the dairy price. B已有證據(jù)顯示 Tesco 和Asda, Wiseman, Dairy Crest 及 Cheese Company聯(lián)合確定牛奶價(jià)格。C Tesco is offered a leniency deal of 80 million because of its quick response to the anti-competitive behaviorsC由于對(duì)反競(jìng)爭(zhēng)行為的快速反應(yīng)，Tesco 會(huì)被輕罰八千六百萬(wàn)元作為寬大

21、處理。D Tesco is trying its best to prove its innocence of the scandal.D Tesco 竭力證明自己和傳聞無(wú)關(guān)。答案 D難度系數(shù) 分析 推理題。第一段主要講述了Tesco公司已被卷入和其他公司聯(lián)手劃定牛奶價(jià)格的丑聞中，目前正在通過(guò)法律手段來(lái)證明自己與此無(wú)關(guān)。選項(xiàng)A的表述在文章中并沒(méi)有明確表述，Tesco 雖然正在訴諸法律手段保衛(wèi)其名譽(yù)，但是否態(tài)度最堅(jiān)決我們無(wú)法得知。選項(xiàng)B, 文章中只是說(shuō)明后幾家公司承認(rèn)其定價(jià)行為，但并為說(shuō)明Tesco與他們聯(lián)合。選項(xiàng)C，文章指出如果Tesco的丑聞被證實(shí)后會(huì)被處以的處罰并且是一種寬大措施，但金額應(yīng)

22、該為116而不是80。選項(xiàng)D，Tesco 正在竭力證明自己和傳聞無(wú)關(guān)，這正是第一段論述的內(nèi)容。2. Who is most probably the initiator of the pricing formula?2. 誰(shuí)最有可能是價(jià)格形成的始作俑者？A Retail chainsA 零售商。B Farmers.B 牧場(chǎng)主。C Dairy companies.C牛奶公司。D PoliticiansD 政治家。答案B難度系數(shù) 分析 細(xì)節(jié)題。關(guān)于價(jià)格形成最初由誰(shuí)引起，第二段和第三段有相關(guān)論述。第二段提到，監(jiān)察部門(mén)發(fā)現(xiàn)超市受到政治家和農(nóng)民的壓力要求上調(diào)牛奶價(jià)格，而OFT發(fā)現(xiàn)了零售商將牛奶未來(lái)的價(jià)格

23、信息傳遞給了牛奶公司，牛奶公司內(nèi)部自己確定了價(jià)格。第三段又提到牧場(chǎng)主機(jī)構(gòu)和牧場(chǎng)主一直在抗議低廉的牛奶價(jià)格。由此可以推斷，最有可能引發(fā)牛奶價(jià)格確定的源頭就是牧場(chǎng)主。3. The word “defiant” (Line 1, Paragraph 5)most probably means _.3. “defiant”(第五段第一行)最可能的意思是_.A resisitingA 抗議的B angryB 憤怒的C deficientC不完善的D confidentD 自信的答案A難度系數(shù) 分析 猜詞題。根據(jù)其上下文的意思，Tesco 聲稱(chēng)正在為自己的行為準(zhǔn)備最堅(jiān)決的辯護(hù)，其執(zhí)行理事的一番話(huà)也表現(xiàn)了他

24、們這種強(qiáng)硬的態(tài)度，可見(jiàn)他們采取了一種抵抗的態(tài)度，選項(xiàng)A最為符合。4. We may infer from Morrisons statement that _.4. 從Morrisons的話(huà)可以推斷出_。A Morrisons turn out to be the most defensive when dealing with OFT.A Morrisons在與OFT打交道時(shí)實(shí)際上是具防御性質(zhì)的。B Morrisons is reluctant to support the inquiries into the former Safeway business.B Morrisons不愿意支持

25、對(duì)前Safeway業(yè)務(wù)的調(diào)查。C industry insiders suggest that Morrisons was trying to delay the OFT investigation with non-cooperation.C 業(yè)界內(nèi)部人士透露說(shuō)Morrisons以不合作的方式竭力推遲OFT的調(diào)查。D Morrisons indeed refuses to admit its involvement in the scandal.D Morrisons實(shí)際上否認(rèn)其卷入丑聞。答案 D難度系數(shù) 分析 推理題。要結(jié)合上下文來(lái)理解Morrisons的意思，Morrisons has

26、supported the OFT in inquiries into the former Safeway business that it took over, but in a statement said that it was still making “strong representations” in its defense. 前后兩個(gè)分句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，可以看出Morrisons的態(tài)度。雖然他協(xié)助OFT對(duì)于前Safeway的調(diào)查，但是他卻聲稱(chēng)在辯護(hù)中仍要做出抗議。行動(dòng)上他是一種合作態(tài)度，但他還是要竭力維護(hù)自己的利益、并且沒(méi)有任何跡象表明其承認(rèn)了卷入丑聞的指控，因此選項(xiàng)D最為符合。

27、而其余三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都與前面的意思分析相反。5. The writers attitude to Tesco can be said to be _5. 作者對(duì)于Tesco 的態(tài)度可以說(shuō)是_。A biased.A 有偏見(jiàn)的。B objective.B 客觀的。C sympathetic.C 同情的。D optimistic.D 樂(lè)觀的。答案B難度系數(shù) 分析 態(tài)度題。 作者的態(tài)度可以通過(guò)材料的選擇和措辭看出來(lái)，作者在文章中列出了Tesco有關(guān)方面的事件，但一直沒(méi)有做出任何的直接評(píng)判，也沒(méi)有通過(guò)任何字眼來(lái)暗示自己的意思，因此可以認(rèn)為作者采取了一種比較客觀的態(tài)度。參考譯文：Tesco為了擺脫限定奶制品價(jià)格

28、風(fēng)波，正在準(zhǔn)備一場(chǎng)大官司。奶制品事件已經(jīng)給消費(fèi)者帶來(lái)了兩億七千萬(wàn)的損失。如果不能證明自己并未和其他超市、奶制品加工商串通一氣的話(huà)，它就得接受至少八千萬(wàn)的罰單。昨天，OFT聲稱(chēng)Asda, Sainsburys 和前 Safeway，還有奶制品公司W(wǎng)iseman, Dairy Crest and Cheese Company都已承認(rèn)它們聯(lián)合設(shè)定了牛奶、黃油及奶酪的價(jià)格。他們總共的罰金只有差不多一億一千六百萬(wàn)，這是監(jiān)察部門(mén)對(duì)積極坦白反競(jìng)爭(zhēng)行為公司的一種寬大處理。OFT官員私下聲稱(chēng)他們不一定想要找出到底是具體哪家公司或哪個(gè)人發(fā)起這次價(jià)格行動(dòng)的，但是監(jiān)察部門(mén)承認(rèn)這次超市受到政客和農(nóng)民的雙重壓力，要求提高

29、牛奶成本以拯救奶制品畜牧業(yè)，但是最終錢(qián)還不一定能流到農(nóng)民手中。OFT九月份稱(chēng)他們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)證據(jù)證明零售鏈已經(jīng)將未來(lái)的牛奶價(jià)格告知奶制品公司，然后奶制品公司自己內(nèi)部設(shè)定了固定價(jià)格。 2002和2003年間平均每戶(hù)損失為11.25英鎊。每品脫牛奶價(jià)格上漲3便士，每黃油上漲15便士，每半磅奶酪漲15便士。但是消費(fèi)者卻沒(méi)有任何的補(bǔ)償，利潤(rùn)全部到了國(guó)庫(kù)。全國(guó)消費(fèi)者委員會(huì)警告說(shuō)長(zhǎng)此以往會(huì)損害消費(fèi)者的信心，人們也會(huì)逐漸懷疑委員會(huì)的聲明。Farmers For Action2002年以來(lái)一直領(lǐng)導(dǎo)農(nóng)民抗議牛奶價(jià)格過(guò)低，目前在就是否可以申請(qǐng)補(bǔ)償尋求法律意見(jiàn)。不過(guò)OFT還在繼續(xù)對(duì)Tesco, Morrisons 和奶

30、制品集團(tuán) Lactalis McLelland進(jìn)行調(diào)查，任何法律行為都將推遲到調(diào)查結(jié)束。Tesco對(duì)此不屑一顧，聲稱(chēng)在為自己的行為準(zhǔn)備最堅(jiān)決的辯護(hù)。執(zhí)行理事Lucy Neville-Rolfe說(shuō)：“正如我們一貫宣稱(chēng)的，我們行動(dòng)完全獨(dú)立，和誰(shuí)都沒(méi)有聯(lián)合。我們的立場(chǎng)和我們的對(duì)手不一樣，我們?cè)诒M力保護(hù)我們的事業(yè)。我們的理念就是為消費(fèi)者更好地服務(wù)?！?Morrisons協(xié)助OFT調(diào)查它所管理的前Safeway的交易，但是在一次聲明中還稱(chēng)自己依然會(huì)在辯護(hù)中進(jìn)行強(qiáng)烈的抗議。Lactalis McLelland的一個(gè)代言人說(shuō)公司在和OFT“合作”，而企業(yè)內(nèi)部人士暗示這三家公司在蓄意拖延OFT調(diào)查。昨天Sai

31、nsburys承認(rèn)已經(jīng)同意支付兩千六百萬(wàn)的罰金，但是卻否認(rèn)它在牟取暴利。執(zhí)行董事Justin King說(shuō)本來(lái)是要幫助農(nóng)民卻因此受到懲罰，感覺(jué)很失望，但他也承認(rèn)盡快解決更為有利。Asda不愿意透露要賠付多少，并聲稱(chēng)其初衷是要幫助那些有沉重經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力的農(nóng)民。TEXT TWOHe emerged, all of a sudden, in 1957: the most explosive new poetic talent of the English post-war era. Poetry specialised, at that moment, in the wry chronicling of

32、the everyday. The poetry of Yorkshire-born Ted Hughes, first published in a book called “The Hawk in the Rain” when he was 27, was unlike anything written by his immediate predecessors. Driven by an almost Jacobean rhetoric, it had a visionary fervour. Its most eye-catching characteristic was Hughes

33、s ability to get beneath the skins of animals: foxes, otters, pigs. These animals were the real thing all right, but they were also armorial devicessymbols of the countryside and lifeblood of the earth in which they were rooted. It gave his work a raw, primal stink. It was not only England that thou

34、ght so either. Hughess book was also published in America, where it won the Galbraith prize, a major literary award. But then, in 1963, Sylvia Plath, a young American poet whom he had first met at Cambridge University in 1956, and who became his wife in the summer of that year, committed suicide. Hu

35、ghes was vilified for long after that, especially by feminists in America. In 1998, the year he died, Hughes broke his own self-imposed public silence about their relationship in a book of loose-weave poems called “Birthday Letters”. In this new and exhilarating collection of real letters, Hughes re

36、turns to the issue of his first wifes death, which he calls his “big and unmanageable event”. He felt his talent muffled by the perpetual eavesdropping upon his every move. Not until he decided to publish his own account of their relationship did the burden begin to lighten. The analysis is raw, pai

37、ned and ruthlessly self-aware. For all the moral torment, the writing itself has the same rush and vigour that possessed Hughess early poetry. Some books of letters serve as a personalised historical chronicle. Poets letters are seldom like that, and Hughess are no exception. His are about a life of

38、 literary engagement: almost all of them include some musing on the state or the nature of writing, both Hughess own or other peoples. The trajectory of Hughess literary career had him moving from obscurity to fame, and then, in the eyes of many, to life-long notoriety. These letters are filled with

39、 his wrestling with the consequences of being the part-private, part-public creature that he became, desperate to devote himself to his writing, and yet subject to endless invasions of his privacy. Hughes is an absorbing and intricate commentator upon his own poetry, even when he is standing back fr

40、om it and good-humouredly condemning himself for “its fantasticalia, its pretticisms and its infinite verballifications”. He also believed, from first to last, that poetry had a special place in the education of children. “What kids need”, he wrote in a 1988 letter to the secretary of state for educ

D 夢(mèng)幻式的熱情。答案 B難度系數(shù) 分析 細(xì)節(jié)題。本文第一段講述了休斯詩(shī)歌的特點(diǎn)。第一段第二句說(shuō)明了當(dāng)時(shí)盛行的詩(shī)歌的特色是the wry chronicling of the everyday，緊接著第三句就指出休斯的作品不同于他前輩的詩(shī)歌，接下來(lái)的幾句都是講述休斯作品具體是什么特色。由此可以推理，第二句所描寫(xiě)的就

52、是其前人作品的特點(diǎn)，是“對(duì)日常生活的變形描述”，選項(xiàng)B為正確答案。2.The word “vilified” (Line 4, Paragraph 2)most probably means _2. “vilified”這個(gè)詞（第二段第四行）最有可能的意思是_A torturedA 折磨。B harassedB 騷擾。C scoldedC 斥責(zé)。D tormentedD 折磨。答案 C難度系數(shù) 分析 猜詞題。這個(gè)詞的意思要根據(jù)上下文推斷。該詞出現(xiàn)的前一句講述休斯妻子，一位美國(guó)詩(shī)人自殺了。緊接著就說(shuō)，該事件發(fā)生后很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間里美國(guó)的女權(quán)主義者對(duì)休斯采取了一種行動(dòng)。后面又講述了休斯在去世之前將他與

53、妻子的關(guān)系情況以書(shū)信集的方式表達(dá)出來(lái)，直到這本集子出版他的負(fù)擔(dān)才得以減輕。那么休斯一直背負(fù)著的就是一種精神負(fù)擔(dān)，這部分是由那些女權(quán)主義者造成的，可能性比較大的就是一種精神上的譴責(zé)，答案C最為符合。3According to the third paragraph, Hughess collection of letters are _2. 從第三段可以得知，休斯的書(shū)信集是_A the exact reason responsible for both his fame and notoriety.A 給他同時(shí)帶來(lái)聲譽(yù)和惡名的直接原因。B personalized description of

54、his double identity as a public and private figure.B 關(guān)于他作為一個(gè)公共人物和一個(gè)個(gè)人雙重身份的個(gè)性化描述。C reflections of his struggle between his literary devotion and the reality.C 他在文學(xué)信仰與現(xiàn)實(shí)間掙扎的反映。D his meditation and exploration on the literary world.D 他對(duì)文學(xué)世界的思考和探索。答案難度系數(shù) 分析推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段，休斯的這本書(shū)信集和一般書(shū)信集不同，不是將自己的經(jīng)歷做一陳述，而是所有書(shū)

55、信都包含有對(duì)自己或?qū)e人作品的思考，是他文學(xué)思想的一個(gè)展示。最后一句是說(shuō)從這些書(shū)信中可以看出他為是要完全展示在作品中還是要維護(hù)個(gè)人隱私而苦苦掙扎過(guò)。從這些描述可以看出，該書(shū)信集主要是他文學(xué)觀點(diǎn)的一些表述，從中可以看出他的思想發(fā)展歷程，因此答案D最符合。A和B選項(xiàng)與第二段關(guān)系較為密切，因此與本題無(wú)關(guān)。C選項(xiàng)看似有理，但要注意休斯的掙扎并不是在文學(xué)與現(xiàn)實(shí)之間的掙扎，而是一種在文學(xué)世界中探索的痛苦掙扎。4.

57、imself.D 他加在自己身上的道德折磨。答案C難度系數(shù) 分析 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干是要求找出休斯內(nèi)心掙扎的原因，這在第三段最后一句中有提及。文章指出書(shū)信中處處都體現(xiàn)了休斯和自己半隱密、半公開(kāi)這么一個(gè)身份進(jìn)行斗爭(zhēng)的印跡：一方面他想在創(chuàng)作中完全投入，但又擔(dān)心自己的隱私會(huì)受到侵害?？梢钥闯?，休斯之所以?xún)?nèi)心掙扎，是由于他自己一面想要在作品中公開(kāi)自己，而在現(xiàn)實(shí)中又想保護(hù)自己的隱私，因此答案C最為符合。5.

59、 angel installed behind the tongue.D 那些被認(rèn)為舌頭后面有守衛(wèi)天使的孩子。答案A難度系數(shù) 分析 細(xì)節(jié)題。理解這句話(huà)需要結(jié)合上下文來(lái)看，文章最后一段主要是講述休斯認(rèn)為詩(shī)歌在孩子教育方面發(fā)揮特殊的作用，他認(rèn)為孩子需要的是詩(shī)歌，是精致、完美的語(yǔ)言，如果真的擁有這些了，那么孩子舌頭后面就有了守衛(wèi)天使，那他們就是幸運(yùn)的讀者了。雖然四個(gè)答案都仿佛正確，但從最根本來(lái)說(shuō)，是因?yàn)樽x詩(shī)，孩子才會(huì)擁有以上所說(shuō)的一切，才是幸運(yùn)的，而且本段也著重強(qiáng)調(diào)詩(shī)歌對(duì)于孩子的重要性。因此，最佳答案為A。參考譯文： 1957年，他橫空出世，成為英國(guó)戰(zhàn)后最具爆炸性的詩(shī)壇天才。當(dāng)時(shí)，詩(shī)歌主要題材是日常
