97、g“令人沮丧的”；surprising“令人惊讶的”；puzzling“令人费解的”。由句境可知应是令人沮丧的，选B。 答案：B13A.economy BfinanceCbusiness Dcommerce解析：economy“经济”；finance“财政”；business“商业”；commerce“贸易”。这里应该是对整个宏观经济的展望，所以用economy，其他三个选项太过片面了。答案：A14A.opposition BresponseCregard Dcontrast解析：in response to表示“响应，反应”，这里表示由于房地产市场、劳动力市场以及银行借贷的疲软，导致家庭支出
98、以及投资的大幅下降。答案：B15A.remain BproveCfeel Dmaintain解析：remain表示“依然，保持”，后面大多跟形容词。maintain表示“维持，保持(已有的水平、标准)”，这里表示“虽然由于房地产市场、劳动力市场以及银行借贷的疲软而导致家庭支出以及投资的大幅下降，但是我们仍然不相信”，所以这里用remain。答案：ACloze 3For many people today，reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work，they must read letters，reports，trade publi

108、。unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句意。答案：D8A.reuse BrereadCrewrite Drecite 解析：此处意思为“在阅读时经常重读(反复读)”。因此，选reread“重读”。reuse“再使用”；rewrite“改写”；recite“背诵”。答案：B9A.scales BcutsCslows Dmeasures 解析：scale down“按比例减少”；cut down“削减”。此两项不合题意。 measures不能与down搭配。只有slow down“放慢”能与后面的speed搭配。答案：C10A.accelerator BactorCamplifier Dobs

110、都不合题意。只有make (使得)最合适。答案：C13A.but BnorCor Dfor 解析：与前半句中的not only相呼应，构成句式not only.but.“不仅而且”，只能选but，而nor、or或for均不能与前面的not only搭配。答案：A14A.Treat BTakeCMake DConsider 解析：take与后面的for instance构成短语，意为“以为例”，其他三项不能与for instance构成搭配。 答案：B15A.refer to Bgo overCset about Dget through解析：此处意为“在较短时间内，读完众多的材料”。refer to“参考”；go over“复习”；set about“着手做”。此三项均不合题意；只有get through “通读”最恰当。答案：D
