D.CarlosRuizZafon.【答案與解析】文章主要是對四本書進行了簡單的介紹。29.A根據(jù)第1本書的介紹中“ClikaUnigwesthirdnovelisataleofonewomanssearchforbelonging”可知。30.C根據(jù)第3本書的介紹中“...atthedawnofthenewmillennium...”可知。31.D根據(jù)第4本書的介紹中“Thisisthethirdinthecycleofbooks”可知,作者CarlosRuizZafon寫了一套系列書。DGovernmentsallovertheworldmakepublicreportsabouttheconditionoftheireconomies.Mostcountries,includingtheUnitedStates,haveusedameasurecalledthegrossnationalproduct(國民生產(chǎn)總值)orGNP.Itincludesallgoodsandservicesproducedbycitizensofthecountryanywhereintheworld.RecentlytheAmericanCommerceDepartmenthasstartedusinganewmethodtomeasureproduction.Itisknownasthegrossdomesticproduct(國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值)orGDP.Itcountsonlygoodsandservicesthathavebeenproducedwithinthenationsborders.MoneyearnedbyforeigncompaniesoperatingintheUnitedStatesisincludedintheGDP,butmoneyearnedbyAmericancompaniesoperatinginothercountriesisnot.Economicexpertsgenerallyapproveofthechange.Theysaythatthegrossdomesticproductprovidesatruermeasureoftheeconomy.Theyalsonotethatmostotherindustrialcountriesusethismethod.Thereforeitwillbeeasiertostudytheeconomiesofdifferentcountries.Someofficialsalsohopethenewsystemwillhelpthemmakebettereconomicpolicydecisions.ItwillprovidethemwithaclearerunderstandingofeconomicactivityintheUS.ThenewmeasureislesslikelytobeaffectedbysuddenchangesinforeignoilpricesorinthevalueoftheAmericandollarinothercountries.EconomicexpertsbelievethatthechangefromGNPtoGDPwillimmediatelyreducethevalueofAmericanproductionbyatleast40,000milliondollarsayear.ButthatisreallyaverysmallchangeintheAmericaneconomy—lessthan1%.TheCommerceDepartmentreportstheunofficialgrossdomesticproductonceeverythreemonths.ThegovernmentalsocontinuestoreportGNPasithasfourtimesayearsince1941.32.ToreporttheAmericanGDP,theCommerceDepartmentshouldcountmoneyearned.

B.Onceeverythreemonths.C.Onceeverysixmonths. D.Onceayear.【答案與解析】全世界各國政府都會定期對經(jīng)濟狀況進行一次公開報告。包括美國在內(nèi)的大多數(shù)國家都在使用GNP(國民生產(chǎn)總值)來衡量經(jīng)濟發(fā)展狀況。最近,美國國務(wù)部開始使用一種新的測量方法——GDP(國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值)來衡量經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展。32.A根據(jù)第2段“Itcountsonlygoodsandservicesthathavebeenproducedwithinthenationsborders.MoneyearnedbyforeigncompaniesoperatingintheUnitedStatesisincludedintheGDP”可知,國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值包括外國人在本國范圍內(nèi)生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品和提供的服務(wù)。故選A項。33.D根據(jù)第3段“ThenewmeasureislesslikelytobeaffectedbysuddenchangesinforeignoilpricesorinthevalueoftheAmericandollarinothercountries”可知,使用國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值來衡量經(jīng)濟發(fā)展,可以避開國外市場的波動,故選D項。34.C根據(jù)最后一段“...thechangefromGNPtoGDPwillimmediatelyreducethevalueofAmericanproductionbyatleast40,000milliondollarsayear...averysmallchange...”可知,用GDP代替GNP會使美國的生產(chǎn)總值下降一點,故選C項。35.B根據(jù)最后一段“TheCommerceDepartmentreportstheunofficialgrossdomesticproductonceeverythreemonths”可知,美國商務(wù)部每三個月做一次報告,故選B項。第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。MaythefirstisanimportantdateinthecollegeadmissionprocessintheUnitedStates.Thisisthelastdayforhighschoolseniorstoacceptorrejectoffersofadmissioninthefall.Butaccordingtoarecentreport,thereisagreatchange.Acceptanceratesatthetopcollegesthisyearwerelowerthanever.36
