astheirownpeoplearebeing,laidoff.A)【精析】推理判斷題。定位段提到，如果要說我們能從20世紀(jì)30年代的世界經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)中領(lǐng)悟到什么的話，那就是在人們紛紛失業(yè)時(shí)，政府不能漠然視之。很多考生會(huì)因此誤選B)“政府應(yīng)給予失業(yè)人員補(bǔ)貼”。需要注意的是，定位段中的as引導(dǎo)的從句使用的是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，由此推知，并不是要給予已經(jīng)失業(yè)的人員補(bǔ)貼，而是在面對(duì)失業(yè)這種情況時(shí)，政府應(yīng)該有所作為。由此再定位到第四段…thosewhobelievethereisarealroleforgovernmentsinfirstrevivingoureconomies,andthensettingtherightrulesforfuturesuccess，該段提到，有些人認(rèn)為政府真正該做的事情，一是振興經(jīng)濟(jì)，二是為未來的成功制定合適的規(guī)章制度。作者列舉20世紀(jì)30年代的經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)，旨在證明上一段的觀點(diǎn)，即政府應(yīng)在振興經(jīng)濟(jì)中有所作為，故A）為答案。53.【定位】由題干中的theUnitedStatesandBritain定位到第七段BoththeUnitedStatesandBritainsufferedbecausetheireconomieswereoverlyreliantonthefinancialsector'sartificialprofits…toopowerfultochallenge.D)【精析】細(xì)節(jié)辨認(rèn)題。定位段第一個(gè)分句提到，英國和美國都遭受了經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)是因?yàn)樗鼈兊慕?jīng)濟(jì)過于依賴金融機(jī)構(gòu)的虛假利潤。D）中的relyingheavilyon與原文中overlyrelianton表達(dá)的意思相同，故D）為答案。54.【定位】由題干中的trickle-downpromise定位到倒數(shù)第四段第一句Weneedtorecognizethatthetrickle-downpromise(benefitsgiventotherichwilleventuallybepassedontothepoor)ofconservativetheoristshasturnedintoagravity-defyingrealityinwhichwealthhasflowedupwarddisproportionatelyand,toooften,undeservedly.B)【精析】推理判斷題。定位句提到，“涓滴”承諾已使現(xiàn)實(shí)失衡，財(cái)富分配不均。定位句中的gravity-defying意為“違反重力的”，由此可推知，“讓一部分人先富起夸最后達(dá)到共同富?！背兄Z是不會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)的，故B）為答案。55.【定位】由題干中的rules,governmentsshouldset,economicdevelopmen定位到倒數(shù)第三段第一句Governmentscansetbetter-notnecessarilymore-rulestoencourageproductivebusinessesthatmakeandsellrealproductsandservices.C)【精析】推理判斷題。定位句提到，政府可通過制定更好的一不必是更多的一政策來鼓勵(lì)制造、銷售真正的產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的生產(chǎn)性產(chǎn)業(yè)，故答案為C)。56.【定位】由題干中的urrenteconomy定位到末段末句Thequestionisnotsomuchwhether20th-centurycapitalismisfailing21st-centurysocietybutwhetherpoliticscanrisetothechallengeofchangingaflawedeconomicmodel.B)【精析】推理判斷題。定位句提到，問題討論的重點(diǎn)不是20世紀(jì)的資本主義是否適應(yīng)21世紀(jì)的社會(huì)，而是政治是否能接受改變不完善的經(jīng)濟(jì)模式這一挑戰(zhàn)。B）和原文都出現(xiàn)了economicmodel，故為答案。57.【定位】由題干中的mendominateitsexecutiveboard定位到第一段前兩句Womenarehalfthepopulationbutonly15%ofboardmembersatbigAmericanfirms,and10%inEurope.Companiesthatfishinonlyhalfthetalentpoolwillloseouttothosethatcasttheirnetmorewidely.B)【精析】推理判斷題。文章開篇前兩句指出歐美一些大公司的董事會(huì)里，女性擁有的席位很少。而那些只在“人才儲(chǔ)備池”的一半中尋找人才的公司會(huì)失利于廣納賢才的公司。B）中的competitivenesswillbeweakened與原文中的loseout表達(dá)的意思相同，故為答案。58.【定位】由題干中的apartfromsexism定位到第四段前三句Thesecondargumentismoresubtle.Talentedexecutivesneedmentorstohelpthemclimbtheladder.Maledirectorsmentoryoungmenbutarereluctanttogetfriendlywithyoungwomen,lesttherelationshipbemisinterpreted.D)【精析】細(xì)節(jié)辨認(rèn)題。定位句提到，男性前輩愿意指導(dǎo)年輕的男性晚輩，但是卻不愿意對(duì)女性晚輩表示友好，唯恐他們的關(guān)系遭人誤解。D）中的guidance,refrainfrom,misunderstanding與原文中的mentor,arereluctantto,misinterpreted表達(dá)的意思相同，故為答案。59.【定位】由題干中的barriertowomen'scareers定位到第五段前四句…butinmostrichcountriessexismisnolongerthemainobstacletowomen'scareers.Childrenare.Mostwomentakecareerbreakstolookafterthem.Manycareforelderlyrelatives,too.C)【精析】細(xì)節(jié)歸納題。定位句提到，在大部分的富裕國家里，性別歧視已經(jīng)不再是阻礙女性事業(yè)的主要障礙了。孩子才是真正的障礙。大多數(shù)女性為了照顧孩子或是老人會(huì)中斷自己的事業(yè)。C）與文意相符，故為答案。60.【定位】由題干中的laworhumanresources定位到原文倒數(shù)第二段第四句Andmany,anticipatingacareerbreakatsomepointinthefuture,enterfieldswheretheirskillswillnotquicklybecomeoutdated,suchaslaworhumanresources.【精析】細(xì)節(jié)辨認(rèn)題。定位句提到，許多期望能在將來某一時(shí)刻中斷事業(yè)的女性，選擇進(jìn)入那些自身技能不會(huì)很快過時(shí)的領(lǐng)域，比如法律和人力資源。A)“如果需要，這些行業(yè)允許女性有事業(yè)中斷期”與原文意思相符，故為答案。61.【定位】由題干中的enforcingquotasforwomenexecutives定位到原文末段末句Enforcingquotasforwomenhasledtolargenumbersofinexperiencedwomenbeingappointedtoboards,andseriouslydamagedthosefirms'performance.D)【精析】推理判斷題。定位句提到，對(duì)女性實(shí)施定額制導(dǎo)致大量沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的女性被提拔進(jìn)入董事會(huì)，嚴(yán)重影響了那些公司的業(yè)績。D）中的adverselyaffects
