8、度的下滑这一现象。1C这促成了近三十年来最严重的经济下滑。submit to 服从；resort to 求助，诉诸；contribute to 有助于，促进；extend to 延伸到。2Bconsumer spending表示“消费性支出”。3A上半句说人们在住房、日用品及服务上的支出减少了，下半句说出国度假的人花费也减少了，由此可见前后分句是并列的关系，所以用while。although 表示让步；because表示原因；but 表示转折。4Cinstantly 立即，马上；simultaneously 同时地；significantly 显著地，重要地；actively积极地，活跃地。不
9、难看出这里是说出国度假的人花费也明显减少了，因此选significantly。5Dpay cuts表示“减薪”，pay freezes表示“工资冻结”。dive潜水；halt停止；pause暂停，间歇。6Dcalculate计算；accumulate 积累；express表达；show表明。这里表示“数据表明”，故选择D项。7Asince 表示“从以来”，上文提到员工们的补偿金本季度下降了1.1%，这个下降的幅度是自1955年有记录以来最大的，所以用since。8Bcompetition 竞争；employment 就业；achievement 成就，成绩；attraction吸引，吸引力。伴
10、随着工资的下降，竞争肯定越来越激烈，失业的人也就越来越多，所以就业率就会下降。9Arelease 发布，释放；relieve 解除，减轻；relate 联系，叙述；relax 放松。这里release表示“发布”。句意：这份数据是作为英国国家统计局这个组织对英国经济评估报告的一部分来对外发布的。10Cpromote促进，提升；justify证明是合法的；confirm确认，证实；advocate 提倡，主张。句意：这份数据证实了第一季度国内生产总值下降了1.9%这一事实。11D从后半句“the biggest annual fall since 1980”可以得出GDP肯定是比去年降低了4.1
11、%，所以用lower。poor贫穷的；slim苗条的；weak虚弱的。12Bamazing令人惊异的；depressing令人沮丧的；surprising令人惊讶的；puzzling令人费解的。 13Aeconomy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。14Bin 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，导致家庭支出以及投资的大幅下降。15Aremain表示“依然，保持”，后面大多跟形容词。maintain表示“维持，保持(已有的
12、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。n 高频词汇集中速记acrosskrsad. 横过,交叉,另一边 prep. 横过,交叉activektva. 活跃的,积极的,有效的,主动的,现役的,现行的,活性的 a. 活动的agreegri:vi. 同意,赞成,承认适合 vt. 同意alivelava. 活着的,活泼的,敏感的,热闹的amazemezvt. 使吃惊awakeweka. 醒的 vt.vi. 唤醒,唤起,醒来beyondbjndprep. 超过,那一边 ad. 在远处 n.
