19、will be highly appreciated.Best regards，Peter WhiteUnit 3Travel journal能力检测一、本文主要讲述商家是如何确定他们的商品价格的。商品的价格高了，人们买的就少；反之则买的多。商家只有通过精确的研究来给他们的商品定一个最合理的价格，这样他们才能赚取最大利润。1less由文意及前面的“more”可知要填less。 2in由前面的“changes in the prices of goods” 可知要填in。3As固定搭配。as we all know 众所周知。4up由文意可知是“价格上涨，人们就会买的更少”。go up 上涨。
20、5an由前面的“a decrease”可知应填an。6which此处为“介词关系代词”引导的定语从句。7be made固定搭配。make a profit 获利。此处profit作主语，故要用被动语态。8to have动词不定式作目的状语。9purchasing固定搭配。purchasing power 购买力。10will be根据文意可知应用there be句型的一般将来时。二、本文主要论述了在人生中要成功，虽然运气、天赋、家庭出生很重要，但首先要树立目标，然后花大量的时间来学习和实践，没日没夜地工作，达到入迷的程度，并长此以往。1A归纳概括题。文中的“运气”“天赋”“家庭环境”等都是指成
21、功的条件或理由，故选A。本段中并没有讲什么是成功，排除B项(成功的含义)和C项(成功的标准)；也没讲成功对人生有哪些重要性，也容易排除D项。2B词句理解题。代词是意义衔接的手段之一，此处的代词that替代前句中的“set a goal and then gradually make it more practical”，故选B。3D细节理解题。题眼出现在第三段第一句“This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.”。其中的this就是指代上文的内容，即第二段的最后两句话的内
22、容“.one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in.”，这两句就告诉我们，要成功需要花费大量的时间。4B推理判断题。第四段第一句告诉我们成功者是花了人生中大部分时间付出了巨大代价的，即不是靠运气或天赋；第二句说有时很容易认为成功者是靠运气或天赋，说明很多人成功离不开运气或天赋的；综合两句可推断出，有时候成功并不是靠运气
23、或天赋，故选B。5C主旨大意题。由第二段开头的“However”可知，本文的中心论题不是第一段而在第二段“to succeed in life, one first needs to. needs to.”，再结合最后一段第一句“.if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time.”，可知本文的主题思想是不花时间和实践是不可能取得成功的。三、1.B文中的关键信息“I do
24、care about durability choosing power supply for my digital cameras.”与B项中的“Super Durable Battery”相匹配。2E文中的关键信息“.we started looking for a family car.Your new model Beetle Convertible looks so cool.”与E项中的“new Vokswagon Beetle Convertible 300hp turbocharged engine offers plenty of substance”相匹配。3C文中的关键信
25、息“My Beetle Convertible is insured with ING insurance company.”与C项中的“Find out how much you could be saving on an insurance”相匹配。4F文中的关键信息“.your diploma course can provide me with professional training on administrative and communicative skills.”与F项中的“Graduates receive MBA diplomas from both Georgetown University and ESADE Business School.”相匹配。5D文中的关键信息“Worrying about community safety, I prefer to secure my house with new technology”与D项中的“FREE Home Security System”相匹配。
