Last weekend Kyle MacDonald in Montreal threw a party to celebrate the fact that be got his new home in exchange for a red paper clip. Starting a year ago, MacDonald bartered the clip for increasingly valuable stuff: including a camp stove and free rent in a Phoenix flat. Having announced his aim (the house) in advance, MacDonald likely got a boost from techies eager to see the Internet pass this daring test of its networking power. “My Whole motto ( 座右铭) was ‘Start small, think big, and have fun'," says MacDonald, 26, "1 really kept my effort on the creative side rather than the business side."
Yet as odd as the MacDonald exchange was, barter is now big business on the Net. This year more than 400, 000 companies worldwide will exchange some 510 billion worth of goods and services on a growing number of barter sites. These Web sites allow companies to trade products for a virtual currency, which they can use to buy goods from other members. In Iceland, garment-maker Kapusalan sells a third of its output on the booming Vidskiptanetid exchange, earning virtual money that it uses to buy machinery and pay part of employee salaries. The Troc-Services exchange in France offers more than 4, 600 services, from math lessons to ironing.
This is not a primitive barter system. By creating currencies, the Internet removes a major barrier-what Bob Meyer, publisher of BarterNews. calls "the double coincidence of wants." That is, two parties once not only had to find each other, but also an exchange of goods that both desired. Now, they can price the deal in virtual currency.
Barter also helps firms make use of idle capacity. For example, advertising is "hugely bartered" because many media, particularly on the Web, can supply new ad space al little cost.Moreover, Internet ads don't register in industry-growth statistics, because many exchanges are arranged outside the formal exchanges.
Like eBay, most barter sites allow members to ugrade" trading partners fo: honesty quality and so on. Barter exchanges can allow firms in countries with hyperinflation or nontradable currencies to enter global trades. Next year, a nonprofit exchange called Quick Lift Two (QL2)plans to open in Nairobi, offering barter deals to 38, 000 Kenyan farmers in remote areas. Two small planes will deliver the goods. QL2 director Gacii Waciuma says the farmers are excited to he "liberated from corrupt middlemen." For them, barter evokes a bright future, not a recapitalize past.

参考答案
41. 答案 B。
该词出现在第一段第四句话：MacDonald likely got a boost from techies eager to see
the Internet pass this daring test of its networking power。在该句我们发现boost 之后有定语对该词说明，其大意为“乐于看到他证明互联网的强大力量”。由此推techies 是关注网络、熟悉网络、擅长网络的人。另外techies 这个单词的字根来源是tech，与technology 同源。因此我们不难确定本题答案为B 项。
42. 答案 D。
本题信息点是Many people may have deliberately helped Kyle。依照原因题的解题思路，我们在文章第一段找到了该信息点所在的句子：MacDonald likely got a boost from techies eager to see the lnternet pass this daring test of its networking power. ，这里boost “推动，激励”相当于题干中的help deliberately。再认真研读本旬，我们发现本句中eager to see the Internet pass this daring test of its networking Power 表述了boost 的原因，其大意为： 急于看到他证明互联网的强大力量。由此可以确定本题答案为D 项.
43. 答案 B。
本题的信息点是The Internet barter system relies heavily on “网络易货依赖于",按照细节信息题的解题方法，我们需要在文章中找到该信息点。但是我们阅读文章查找时发现，文中没有直接提到网络易货依靠什么完成的信息，但是可以肯定的是文中一定以某种方式表达了该信息。于是再次带着这个问题重新阅读，我们会意识到文章第三段第二句话By creating currencies，the lnternet removes a major barrier. “通过创造虚拟货币，互联网消除了交易的一个重大障碍” 正表明了网络易货实现的条件： 虚拟货币。由此我们不难确定本题答案为B项.
44.答案 A
本题信息点是lnternet advertisements can help ”网络广告有助于，即网络广告的好处”。阅读查找时，我们发现该信息点出现在第四段第二句和第三句，第二句说明了很多网络媒体可提供低价广告位： 第三句说明了网络广告并不计入工业产值统计。由此可以看出网络广告的好处之一是低价位。这样我们与本题选择项比对就会确定本题答案为A.
45. 答案 C
本题信息点是QL2。依照细节信息题的解题思路，我们需要在阅读文章时查找该信息点，再把相关语句从语言层次理解，再回头整理各句所传达的信息，最后再把这些信息与选项逐一认真比对，做出正确选择。本文最后一段第三、四、五句涉及该信息点，关于该信息点，文中表述了以下信息：1) 明年在内罗毕开业的非盈利的交易所：2) 服务对象是3.8 万肯尼亚偏远地区的农民：3) 农民们为此而摆脱了腐败的中间人而感到兴奋。把这些信息与本题四个选项比对之后我们可以确定本题答案为C 项。
