判断题

Nearly half of global investments have flowed into the energy industry, and a substantial part of them goes to China as its demand increases.

【正确答案】 错误
【答案解析】

解题关键是听清并记住录音中的Almost half of all China’s global investments, 在读到题干的Nearly half of global investments时立即理解二者的区别,即前者的 global并 非 “全球” 的意思,而是“整体” 或 “全体” '的意思。不少考生在学习英语 词汇的过程中倾向于列表记忆,甚至有人下功夫背词典,因此在词汇理解上往往缺 乏灵活性。在此题中听到China’s global investments时由于缺乏语感和基础,加上词典记忆的影响,很容易误解为“全球对中国的投资” ,而不是正确理解为“中国的 总投资”。  

[重点难点]
理解global这个词随语境、搭配而发生的细微语义变化。

[录音原文]
Almost half of all China's global investments have been in the energy sector, many of them designed specifically to provide power for the Chinese. While the country's overall population may not grow significantly beyond its current 1.3 billion, an explosion in the middle classes as wealth increases will see the demand for energy rocket.
