Is There a Way to Keep the Britain′s Economy Growing?
1 In today′s knowledge economy, nations survive on the things they do best.Japanese design electronics while Germens export engineering techniques.The French serve，the best food and Americans make computers.
2 Britain specializes in the gift of talking.The nation doesn′t manufacture much of anything.But it has lawyers，stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk talk and more talk.The World Foundation think tank says the UK′s four iconic jobs today are not scientists，engineers，teachers and nurses.Instead，they′re hairdressers， celebrities， management consultants and managers.But can all this talking keep the British economy going? The British government thinks it can.
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 believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy.After all，me country of Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a literary tradition of which to be proud.Rock‘n’roll is an English language medium，and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands.In other words，the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy.
4 However, creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK′s exports of goods and services.The industries are finding it hard to make a profit，according to a report of the National Endowment for Science，Technology and the Arts The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in "innovation activities"，3 percentage points below the EU average and well below Germany(61 percent)and Sweden(47 percent).
5 In fact，it might be better to call Britain a “servant”economy-there are at least 4 million people“in service”.The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook，clean， and take care of their children.Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree.Most employment growth has been，and will continue to be，at the low-skill end of the service sector-in shops，bars，hotels，domestic service and in nursing and care homes.
1.Paragraph 2___
2.Paragraph 3___
3.Paragraph 4___
4.Paragraph 5___
A Growth of Economy
B “Servant” Economy
C Strength of the Creative Economy
D Weakness of the Creative Economy
E Gift of talking
F Export of Talking Machines
标准答案：E,C,D,B
解 析：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。
2.C . 段尾句是该段主题句。该段说：英国是著名作家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。
3.D. 第四段的第二个句子是段落主题句(权威机构的观点)，该句讲述“创造行业的弱点， 很难盈利”， 因此D是答案。
提示：通常出现在段落开头部分或结尾部分的权威机构/权威人士的观点/发言/研究发现往往直接揭示段落主题。
4.B. 第四段的第一个句子是主题句：In fact，it might be better to call Britain a “servant” economy-there are at least 4 million people“in service”.该句说“实际上，把英国的经济叫做服务经济更恰当一些一因为至少有四百万人在做服务性工作”。因此选B。
