[C] suitable public policies [D] greater “soft pressure” Part B Directions:

You are going to read a list of headings and a text. Choose the most suitable heading from the list AG for each numbered paragraph (4145).Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)

[A] Live like a peasant [B] Balance your diet

[C] Shopkeepers are your friends [D] Remember to treat yourself [E] Stick to what you need [F] Planning is everything [G] Waste not, want not

The hugely popular blog the Skint Foodie chronicles how Tony balances his love of good food with living on benefits. After bills, Tony has £60 a week to spend, £40 of which goes on food, but 10 years ago he was earning £130,000 a year working in corporate communications and eating at Londons best restaurants at least twice a week. Then his marriage failed, his career burned out and his drinking became serious.“The community mental health team saved my life. And I felt like that again, to a certain degree, when people responded to the blog so well. It gave me the validation and confidence that Id lost. But its still a daybyday thing.”Now hes living in a council flat and fielding offers from literary agents. Hes feeling positive, but hell carry on blogging—not about eating as cheaply as you can—“there are so many people in a much worse state, with barely any money to spend on food”—but eating well on a budget. Heres his advice for economical foodies.

41.

Impulsive spending isnt an option, so plan your weeks menu in advance, making shopping lists for your ingredients in their exact quantities. I have an Excel template for a week of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stop laughing: its not just cost effective but helps you balance your diet. Its also a good idea to shop daily instead of weekly, because, being human, youll

sometimes change your mind about what you fancy.

42.

This is where supermarkets and their anonymity come in handy. With them, theres not the same embarrassment as when buying one carrot in a little greengrocer. And if you plan properly, youll know that you only need, say, 350g of shin of beef and six rashers of bacon, not whatever weight is prepacked in the supermarket chiller.

43.

You may proudly claim to only have frozen peas in the freezer—thats not good enough. Mine is filled with leftovers, bread, stock, meat and fish. Planning ahead should eliminate wastage, but if you have surplus vegetables youll do a vegetable soup, and all fruits threatening to “go off”will be cooked or juiced.

44.

Everyone says this, but it really is a top tip for frugal eaters. Shop at butchers, delis and fishsellers regularly, even for small things, and be super friendly. Soon youll feel comfortable asking if theyve any knuckles of ham for soups and stews, or beef bones, chicken carcasses and fish heads for stock which, more often than not, theyll let you have for free.

45.

You wont be eating out a lot, but save your pennies and once every few months treat yourself to a set lunch at a good restaurant—£1.75 a week for three months gives you £21—more than enough for a threecourse lunch at Michelinstarred Arbutus. Its £16.95 there—or £12.99 for a large pizza from Dominos: I know which Id rather eat.

Section III Translation

46.Directions:

Translate the following text from English to Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2.(15 points)

I can pick a date from the past 53 years and know instantly where I was, what happened in the news and even the day of the week. Ive been able to do this, since I was 4.

I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs. My mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away neatly. When I think of a sad memory, I do

what everybody does—try to put it to one side. I dont think its harder for me just because my memory is clearer. Powerful memory doesnt make my emotions any more acute or vivid. I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before. I also remember that the musical Hair opened on Broadway on the same day—they both just pop into my mind in the same way.

Section IV Writing

Suppose your class is to hold a charity sale for kids in need of help. Write your classmates an email to

1) inform them about the details and 2) encourage them to participate.

某高校学生兼职情况

【2013年试题超精解】

1.[答案] [A] [考点] 上下文逻辑关系

[解析] 此类考题形式表明本题考查上下文之间存在的逻辑关系,理解上下文并破解其逻辑关系是解题的关键。空格所在句的上句大意为:我们可能马上就进入一个无现金社会;而本句大意为:一个无现金社会不太可能很快出现,由此可见上下文之间有转折关系。[A]项However意为“然而”,表转折,符合题意;[B]项Moreover意为“而且”,表递进;[C]项Therefore意为“因此”,表结果;[D]项Otherwise意为“否则”,表对比。

2.[答案] [D]

[考点] 句内语义理解与介词辨析

[解析] 根据空格所在句中的but可知,本句前后两个分句存在转折关系。第二个分句大意为:这样一个(无现金)社会的预言没有实现,所以第一个分句大意应该为:这样的预言已经进行(或存在)了二十年。[D]项around作表语,表示“在存在,在使用中”,符合题意。

3.[答案] [B]

[考点] 上下文逻辑与名词辨析

[解析] 该句大意为:《商业周刊》于1975年就预言电子支付“将很快彻底改变金钱的”。在无法猜测空格所需要词义的时候,我们可以采用“代入法”,即:把四个选项分别放入句子试验,从而确定正确选项。[A]项power意为“力量,权利”;[B]项concept意为“理念,概念”;[C]项history意为“历史”;[D]项role意为“角色”。电子支付将会改变金钱这一概念,由此可知[B]项符合题意。

4.[答案] [D]

[考点] 句内语义理解与动词词义辨析

[解析] 本句空格之前部分大意为:商业周刊于1975年就预言说电子支付“将彻底改变金钱这一概念”,only to意为“却;不料竟会”,表示结果出乎意料,itself指代商业周刊,由此推测空格中需要“否定”或者“推翻”等类似词义。[A]项reward意为“奖赏;报答”;[B]
