ANSWER SHEET 1.(10 points)

The basic function of money is the enable buying to be

separated from selling, thus permitting trade to take place

without the so?called double coincidence of barter. If a

person has something to sell and wants something else 1

return, it is not necessary to search for someone able and

2to make the desired exchange of items. The person can sell

the 3 item for general purchasing power—that is,

“money”—to anyone who wants to buy it and then use the

proceeds to buy the desired item from anyone who wants to

sell it.

The importance of this function of money is 4

illustrated by the experience of Germany just after World

War Ⅱ, 5 paper money was 6 largely useless because,

despite inflationary conditions, price controls were

effectively 7 by the American, French, and British armies

of oupation. People had to8 to barter or to inefficient

money substitutes. The result was to cut total output of

the economy in half. The German “economic miracle” just

after 1948 reflected partly a currency reform by the oupation authorities, 9 some economists hold that it

stemmed primarily from the German government’s 10 of all

price controls, 11 permitting a money economy to 12 a

barter economy.

13 of the act of sale from the act of purchase 14 the

existence of something that will be generally aepted in

payment—this is the “15 of exchange” function of money.

But there must also be something that can serve as a 16

abode of purchasing power, in which the seller holds the

proceeds in the interim 17 the first sale and the 18

purchase, or from which the buyer can 19the general

purchasing power with which to pay 20 what is bought. This

is the “asset” function of money.

解 析

（⼀）英语知识运⽤

短⽂⼤意

⼈们在⽣活中常常会遇到需要说服他⼈的情形。说服是⼀门使别⼈公正地考虑并接受我们的观点的艺术。说服在⽣活中是不可避免的；道德上的说服要求具有周密的推理，并且敏感对待听者的感情和需求。这种说服能够有助于我们运⽤先⼈的智慧对⽬前的情形做出决定。说服这种能⼒对个⼈以及社会都具有重要意义。

⾸句译⽂

“说⼈们⽣活在充满劝说的世界中，这意义何在呢？”

答案详解

1.[B]among

根据⾸句“⼈们⽣活在充满劝说的世界中”以及随后列举的各种需要劝说的情形，可以推断出，我们的确⽣活在各种相互竞争的利益中，“among”表达了⼈们与各种利益的并存含义，其他选项不符⽂意。

2.[A]priority

该句在对⽐两种需求，其含义为“你的室友温习功课准备考试的需求先于他对⽐萨饼的渴求”，takepriorityover意为“享有优先权”。其他搭配⽤法为：take advantageof意为“利⽤时机等；占……的便宜”，常⽤⼈作主语；take controlof意为“控制”；taketheplaceof“替代”。

3.[D]object

前⾯提到⼈们⽣活在各种利益中，该句的romanticinterest可理解为“浪漫/爱情兴趣”，与此语意构成逻辑关系的只有object，表⽰（情感）对象，其他不合⽂意。[A]objection意为“反对”；[B]projection意为“投射；投掷”；[C]project意为“计划，⽅案；项⽬”。该句含义为：就连你爱慕的对象也会另有其他选择。

4.[C]favorable

劝说别⼈的⽬的在于使别⼈公正地接受我们的观点，根据前⽂的fair以及表⽰并列关系的and，可推测出该选项应该与fair（公正的）逻辑意义并列，选项[A]unbiased和[B]unprejudiced与fair基本同义，若⼊选则成为没必要的重复；[D]favorite意为“最喜欢的⼈/物”，也不合⽂意，故选favorable，意为“赞同的”，选项也说明劝说别⼈的⽬的在于使别⼈赞同我们的观点。

2000年考研英语真题及答案解析

1 试题精解Part ⅠClose Test

一、文章总体分析

本文是一篇短小的论证性文章，其主题是强调农民储存余粮的必要性。

文章①句提出论点：农民想成功，就必须努力保持消费和生产之间有较大的差距。②句对①句进行具体的解释：即他必须存储大量的粮食。③④⑤从正面论述储存余粮的必要性：③句总说可以养家糊口；④⑤句具体说可以留作播种、应对恶劣天气影响及作为商品卖掉以满足农业再生产等需要。⑥⑦⑧句论述没有余粮的危害:不能自给自足，从反面论证储存余粮的必要性。

二、试题具体解析

1.\[A\] other than不同于，除了„„ [B] as well as也，又（表示附加）

[C] instead of而不是„„（表选择） [D] more than比„„更多（表比较）

本题考核的知识点是：逻辑关系。正确率：72%

［快速解题］ 文章首句的含义是：一个农民要想成功，就必须努力保持其消费和生产之间较大的差距。接着文章提到了两种正好相反的做法，一种是store a large quantity of grain（存储大量的粮食），另一种是consuming all his grain immediately（立即把他所有的粮食都消费完）。显然前一种做法是农民可以成功的做法，因此空格处需要一个词语来否定后面部分，而且其后能跟现在分词。选项中，只有介词短语instead of符合要求，意为“他必须存储大量的粮食而不是立即把所有的粮食都消耗完”。

［篇章分析］①句为文章主旨句，核心内容是“保持消费和生产之间的差距”。②句承接①句，具体阐述如何保持这个差距：储存大量的粮食。

［空格设置］ instead of是连接性介词，体现上下文语义上的逻辑关系。instead of表选择关系，意为“代替，作为„„的替换，而不是„”，在两种做法中肯定前者，否定后者。如：I will stay at home instead of going out.我将待在家里，不出门。其他连接性介词还包括because of（因为），despite（尽管），besides（除了）等。
