难句突破:
(1)
[主体句式] Their rivals and the victims cannot tell...
[结构分析] 这是一个简单句,前面的介词短语做句子的状语, any better than they can后面省略了tell,也是做句子的状语。
[句子译文]幸运的是,对于托尼还有和他一样的人,他们的敌人还有那些受害人也比他们强不了多少,并不知道他们的枪能不能用。
(2)
[主体句式] A thin market must rely on...: eBay has dedicated...
[结构分析]这是一个简单句,后面用来解释整个句子的从句中,matching...组成的现在分词短语做前面pages的定语,而后面有一个that引导的定语从句修饰buyers。
[句子译文] 一个狭窄的市场要依赖于广告或是统一的交换。比如易趣专门设出几页让那些卖假珍珠针饰的商家或Annette Funicello熊的商家和所能找到的极少的、分布在各地的买家进行配对。
题目分析:
|
1.Some of the gun transactins are unsuccessful mainly because_____. |
1. 有一些枪支交易未能成功主要是因为_____。 | |
|
[A] it is not profitable as the underground price of gun far exceeds legal price |
[A] 枪支黑市价格远远高过合法枪支的价格 | |
|

|
[C] the dealers are unable to guarantee whether the deal is really going to happen or not |

|
[D] it is hard to testify the quality of the guns in actual situations |
[D] 很难在实际情景下证实所销售枪支的质量 | |
|
[答案]C [难度系数] ☆☆☆ [分析] 细节题。文章第二段提到,30%到40%的交易最后失败是因为卖家或是没有拿到枪支, 或者临阵脱逃,或者没有就交易地点达成一致。因此,交易失败的主要原因是卖家不能保证交易, 答案C符合题意。A选项在该段中有所涉及,但却不是交易不成功的直接原因。B与选项无关, 而D则涉及到了第三段,且所谈及的是枪支的质量问题,而不是交易是否成功的问题。 | ||

2.Compared with the gun market, the drug market can be "fat" mainly because_____. |
2.与枪支市场相比,毒品市场比较兴旺是因为_____。 | |
|
[A] it hardly attracts the police's attention due to the flexibility of the business |
[A] 毒品交易非常灵活,因此很难吸引警察的注意力 | |
|
[B] the drug dealings are taking place in higher frequency |
[B] 毒品交易更加频繁 | |
|

|
[D] drug is affordable to a larger number of people |

[答案]B
[难度系数] ☆☆☆☆
[分析] 细节题。文章第五段提到枪支交易因为其复杂性很难改变其惨淡的现状,而相反地,毒品交易因为其本身density of drug transactions(毒品交易密度)的原因可以逃避法律,接着下面就具体作了解释,比如交易很容易达成,而且其交易地点不固定,警察不能轻易压制。而且主要原因就是由于其交易量本身比较大,因此B为正确选项,其中选项中的frequency可以视为density的统一词。A和C选项都是导致了毒品交易频繁的原因,但是B选项却是题干的直接原因。D选项在原文中没有根据。
