  口译阅读真题讲解(4)

  Questions 6-10

  9个小节

  It was the American consumer who saved the country from becoming mired in recession last year. But some corporations have a strange way of expressing their appreciation: hiking fees and cutting services, sometimes in the wake of corporate missteps.

  appreciation:欣赏、感激、货币升值

  文章中的冒号表示解释说明,冒号后往往紧跟关键词,这便是考点所在。

  Massive economic and political changes — including the waves of corporate layoffs, the airline bankruptcies and the Republican sweep last November-have created both opportunities and hurdles for consumers. Moving forward, the trick is knowing where you can expect to find them.

  两个破折号之间的内容为插入语,阅读原则为:抓主谓、舍从属

  两个逗号之间的内容也为插入语,阅读时也抓主谓、舍从属

  一个破折号为解释说明,作用同冒号,后面紧跟考点

  To help you navigate, here are our best recommendations for saving money in 2003.

  由于前两段没有出现主题句,因此本段一定蕴涵主题句。

  Throughout the year, you make down payments on your coming tax bill either through withholding from you paycheck or estimated quarterly payments. If you happen to get a refund check, you are thrilled, right? Just remember: when paying too much upfront, you are giving Uncle Sam a free loan ?— money that should be earning interest for you, not the government. Most taxpayers make this mistake, and the number grows every year.

  down payments:首付定金

  remember无论在阅读或听力中,后面都紧跟考点。

  a free loan ?— 一个破折号表示解释说明,需要仔细看

  Some people pay as much as $150 a year to be in rewards programs, but a growing number of cards give you the same benefits for free. If it is miles you want, there are at least two good options. The Amtrak Guest Reward MasterCard gives users one point in the Amtrak frequent-traveler program for every dollar they spend. Points can be cashed in for train tickets or air miles on United, Continental or Midwest Express.

  American Express offers the Delta Sky Miles Options credit card, which gives cardholders a mile for every two dollars spent. However, people who charge a lot will probably want to pony up the $85 annual fee for a regular delta card, which offers more than twice the miles.

  Don't buy the latest cell phone immediately the newest models-the ones with color screens and high-speed Web access-are finally hitting the United States. If you buy now, you'll pay a premium. Analysts expect the phones to catch on quickly, which will probably mean a major price drop later in the year.

  Don't assumeTreasury bonds are safe. Uncle Sam may not default on his interest payments, but if interest rates rise, T-bonds can still suffer severe short-term losses. It's happened before: Longer-term government bonds have lost money for 9 of past 30 years, even after figuring in the interest that investors earned.

  Don't hang on to rotten stocks, hoping to get back to even. The market may recover, but many individual stocks will never bounce back. What to do? Consider selling your losers, which will give you a handsome tax loss if the stocks are held in a taxable account. Then reinvest the money in well-diversified, low-cost stockfunds.

  rotten stocks :套牢的股票
