1.E. talk 这个词也在段落中多次出现, 出现了5次,而且几乎在贯穿整个段落出现, 因此是段落主题词, 因此E或F可能是答案。段首句及段尾句均与E相关, 意义一致, 因此E是答案。从段落具体内容上看:第二段的第一个句子说“英国的特长是有说话的天赋”。接下来就是具体说明说话天赋在经济中的表现方面。当然,作者最后对这些说话行业能否保持英国经济的运转提出了疑问。但是其主题思想仍然是在讲说话天赋。
A Growth of Economy
B “Servant(仆人)” Economy
C Strength(力气, 实力) of the Creative(创造性的) Economy
D Weakness (弱点)of the Creative Economy
F Export(出口)of Talking Machines(留声机)
2.Paragraph 3___
3 Although the country′s trade deficit was more than £ 60 billion in 2006,UK′s largest in the postwar period,officials say the country has nothing to worry about.In fact,Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical industry?and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad.It also trades services-accountancy,insurance,banking and advertising.The government(政府) believes(相信) Britain is on the cutting edge of (在...的边缘)the knowledge(知识, 了解) economy.After all(毕竟),the country of Shakespeare(莎士比亚) and Wordsworth(沃兹沃斯) has a literary(文学的) tradition(传统) of which to be proud(以...为自豪).Rock‘n’roll is an English language medium,and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands.In other words(换句话说),the creative (创造性的)economy has plenty of(大量的)strength(实力) to carry (携带,运输, 支持)the British economy. 来源:教育城外语网
2.C . 段尾句是该段主题句。该段说:英国是着名作家Shakespeare和Wordsworth的故乡,他们以及英国的摇滚乐团创造了大量的精神财富,也为英国赚得了大量的钱,显示了创造性经济的力量。由此也可看出C是答案。
提示:段落主题词出现的句子可能是段落主题句或直接与段落主题相关。
A Growth of Economy
B “Servant(仆人)” Economy
D Weakness (弱点)of the Creative Economy
F Export(出口)of Talking Machines(留声机)

The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in "innovation activities",3 percentage points below the EU average and well below
译文:
是否有办法使英国经济继续保持增长
现今的知识经济体系下,各国都发挥其特长以求生存。日本靠生产电子产品,而德国出口工 程技术。法国有著名的美食,美国则制造计算机。
英国人以口才见长Q英屆制造不出什么东西,但却有一把把的律师、造型师和商业顾问。他 们每天的生计除了说,还是说。世界基金组织的智囊团公布,如今英国的四大偶像职业已不再是 科学家、工程师、教师和护士,而变成了发型师、名流显要、管理IS问和商业经理。但这些以说 见长的工作是否能保持英国经济的增长?英国政府认为可以。 !
尽管2006年英国的贸易赤字已超出600亿英镑,创英国战后史上的最高,英国官方却称此不 足为患。事实上,英国的确拥有世界先进水平的制药工业和可以小赚一笔的军工业。:除此之外, 它还出售服务业,即会计业、保险业、银行业和广告业。英政府认为英国正处在知识经济的风口 浪尖上。毕竟这个诞生出了莎士比亚和华兹华斯的国度有着可以引以为荣的文学传统P摇滚乐也 是传播英语的媒介,英国就有很多顶尖的摇滚乐队,可以带来数十亿的收入。换句话说,这种以 创造力为本的经济有诸多优势来承载英国经济的发展。
然而,创造力产业占英国出口商品和服务的总额还不足4%。据英国国家科学、技术和艺术 捐赠委员会报告,这些行业越来越发现盈利不易。报告显示只有38%的企业进行有关创新的活 动,比欧盟的平均水平还要低三个百分点,更是远远落在了德国(61%)和瑞典(47%)之后。
事实上,称英国经济为“仆人经济”或许更形象些——因为至少有400万人在做服务性工 作。英人口的大多数受雇富人,替他们做饭、打扫和看孩子。甚至许多大学生正从事体力劳动, 根本用不着文凭。雇佣增长的大部分过去是,将来仍将是由服务业中的低端技术部分实现,即商 店、酒吧、宾馆、家政服务和养老院这样的地方。
