【总体分析】
本篇介绍的是美国人对选举的兴趣日渐减少，并分析了相关的几个原因。第一段揭示事情本身，后几段分析原因。就本篇而言，对文章前后结构层次的把握非常重要。
41．E
本题考察段落内部的逻辑联系，空格的下文说“But it’s time to stop blaming the citizens”，可见上文必然说到有人指责普通公民们不热衷于美国的政治选举。故答案为E。
42．B
本题考察考生对文章的总体结构的把握能力。既然第二段末句说“Candidates, public officials, and journalists are not giving Americans the type of campaign they deserve”，而且第三段又说到了officials，下文又将说到journalists，可以断定，本段应说“candidates”，即“leadership”,故B项为答案。
43．D
本题考察段落内部的逻辑理解，注意相应的词汇表达。既然空格前讲的是journalists对政治家的正面言论不感兴趣，弃置编辑室地板，而攻击性的言论却被直播(Attack sound bites get airtime; positive statements land on the cutting-room floor)，那么可以推论，D项是最符合逻辑的展开内容，用词也密切相关（get more time on the network newscasts）。
44．G
本题涉及段落内部逻辑的把握。既然上文说“we interviewed 100,000 Americans to discover why they’re disengaging from elections”，那么答案为G，也就很符合逻辑了。
45．F
本题同样涉及段内逻辑，既然上文说“Officials unfailingly urge citizens to do your duty and vote. Yet, these officials embrace policies that make it harder to do that”（官员们催使公民行使职责，参加选举，但另一方面又制定政策，使公民们很难参加投票选举），那么符合逻辑的答案必定是F项了。
Part C
46. 【结构分析】这是一个简单句，结构不复杂。
【疑难词汇】词汇“disproportionately”的翻译不必拘泥原文，可灵活翻译为“激…”；另，“without shrinking…”部分的理解要结合上文准确翻译。
【参考译文】技术的发展和金融的自由化使得极端富裕的家庭数量激增，却没能相应地减少贫困家庭的数量。
47. 【结构分析】冒号前后为并列结构。后半部分有两个“faster than…”的并列的比较状语从句。
【疑难词汇】冒号前的两个“cause”翻译要灵活处理。
【参考译文】正是这些根本原因衍生出严重后果，从而造成更糟的结果：富裕国家出口的工业产品及服务的价格增长速度远远快于贫穷国家出口的商品及服务的价格，比没有多少国际贸易的贫穷国家所生产的商品和服务的价格增长速度就更快了。
48. 【结构分析】“to whom”引导的整个是定语从句，修饰前面的“young men”；定语从句中两个“to threaten…”并列，做“means”的补足语。
【疑难词汇】“means”意为“手段”。
【参考译文】结果导致许多年轻人失业愤懑，而新的信息技术则给了他们威胁社会稳定的手段，甚至可以威胁富裕国家的社会稳定。
49. 【结构分析】“Why”引导的是主句，“if”引导的是从句。
【疑难词汇】主句中“subscribed to”意为“同意，赞同”；从句中“if a case can be made that…”可意译为“如果说…”，其中“case”意为“情况”；“gains”意译为“成果”。
【参考译文】如果说商品和资本市场自由化的成果往往集聚到发展中国家的高端收入阶层的手中，那发展中国家的精英阶层为何又赞同西方国家、企业及多边组织所宣扬的全球化议程呢？
50. 【结构分析】分号前后为并列结构。
【疑难词汇】“fixed”根据上下文可译为“解决，改变”；“asset”为大纲词汇“资产”。
【参考译文】但是，他们没有注意到世界收入分配的差距与贫困之间的联系；他们以为，给穷人福利和机会而不必改变收入及资产分配结构，就可以解决贫困问题。

China is now witnessing a new surge of interest in going to all sorts of night schools or training classes. As is shown in the pictures, lots of people are flocking to English classes while others are rushing to attend lectures on WTO. They all look happy and eager to go to the classes even after a whole day’s work.
This enthusiasm for new knowledge can be attributed to the obvious reason that the government’s policy of Open-up to the World and particularly China’s access to WTO . These have given a fresh impetus to China’s trade and exchange with foreign countries. China’s trade volume with the world has, reportedly, reached an unprecedented $500 billion and cultural exchanges with other countries are being carried on an increasingly larger scale. The new situation requires that people have to learn more about WTO rules and of course they must also acquire a solid knowledge of English. Otherwise, they may find it difficult to trade or exchange with foreign countries efficiently. They may lose the competition in the process of globalization.
Undoubtedly, China’s open policy and the globalization of the world are both irreversible and more and more Chinese will find it necessary to acquire new knowledge and skills. Therefore, more and more people will be going to various training classes or lectures in the years to come.
