第三篇阅读
Paragraph 1：In the late sixteenth century and into the seventeenth, Europe continued the growth that had lifted it out of the relatively less prosperous medieval period (from the mid 400s to the late 1400s). Among the key factors behind this growth were increased agricultural productivity and an expansion of trade.
1. According to paragraph 1, what was true of Europe during the medieval period?
○ Agricultural productivity declined.
○ There was relatively little economic growth.(答案)
○ The general level of prosperity declined.(我选的)
○ Foreign trade began to play an important role in the economy.
如何区分第二个和第三个？

Paragraph 8：The rapid expansion in international trade also benefitted from an infusion of capital, stemming largely from gold and silver brought by Spanish vessels from the Americas.This capital financed the production of goods, storage, trade, and even credit across Europe and overseas. Moreover an increased credit supply was generated by investments and loans by bankers and wealthy merchants to states and by joint-stock partnerships - an English innovation (the first major company began in 1600). Unlike short-term financial cooperation between investors for a single commercial undertaking, joint-stock companies provided permanent funding of capital by drawing on the investments of merchants and other investors who purchased shares in the company.
11. The phrase “an English innovation” in the passage is closest in meaning to
○ a new development introduced by the English(答案)
○ an arrangement found only in England
○ a type of agreement negotiated in English
○ a type of partnership based on English law(我选的)
如果选择一不等于是愿意思重复吗？文章中说它是一种新的股份公司 选4不是更贴近吗？

12. According to paragraph 8, each of the following was a source of funds used to finance
economic expansion EXCEPT
○ groups of investors engaged in short-term financial cooperation(我选的)
○ the state (答案)
○ wealthy merchants
○ joint-stock companies
第一个排除了啊 因果都是long-term的 已经取代了short-term

1.Europe continued the growth that had lifted it out of the relatively less prosperous medieval period (from the mid 400s to the late 1400s)注意这句话 能反映出中世纪经济发展比16-17世纪缓慢 但是仍然有所发展  而不能反映出decline
2.词汇题目就是要选择重复的 同意变换的 这是托福词汇题的特点
3.Unlike 确实是取反  但是并没有说明long取代了short  这只是想通过对比short term解释long term 同时也说名short term是一种来源  
state 仅出现在 wealthy merchants to states    而句子的主题是merchant 所以state 不是

1.B是缓慢增加，C是降低，continued the growth肯定是缓慢增加而不是降低
2.BCD明显不对，原文没提到based on English law，所以选原文改写
3.ACD都有原文，而B只有wealthy merchants to states 提到了state但显然跟题目没关系，A就是an English innovation 后面那句，和short-term （解释short-term 的做法）不同。。。。。所以是提到了的

the state在原文当中是 放在“to ”的后面，标明它是资助的对象，而不是资助的来源。题目问来源，所以the state不选

同意楼上几位的解答：
1. ... lifted it out of the relatively less prosperous medieval period.
说的是，16-17世纪比中世纪已经有所好转。
11. 看前半句Moreover an increased credit supply was generated by ...
12. 关于the state解释，还是看这一句：
Moreover ... was generated by investments and loans by bankers and wealthy merchants to states and ...
说的是，by investments and loans to states.
