四六级阅读突破口:关注首段和首末句
2008-05-23 09:49:05
根据全国大学英语四、六级考试改革方案,全国大学英语四、六级考试改革项目组和考试委员会设计了四级考试新题型测试卷,并于近日公布。在样卷中,仔细阅读部分(Reading in Depth)占整张试卷分值的25%。考试题型又分为两种:A) 选择题型的篇章阅读理解;B) 篇章层次的词汇理解 (Banked Cloze) 或短句问答 (Short Answer Question)。笔者仔细研究了样题,并根据多年阅读的教学经验,以下就仔细阅读部分进行一个详细地分析。
第一部分 选择题型的篇章阅读理解
这部分是考生们最为熟悉的四选一的选择题。新老试卷最大的区别就是由原来的四篇文章二十道题目变为两篇文章十道题目。而其他无论是从选材的特点,文章的长度,出题的思路,解题的技巧都是秉承了传统,考生们还是应该根据历年的真题,好好复习。从样题看,主要还是考察考生们两大能力,即主题和定位。要求考生读完一篇文章之后,能够抓住文章的主题,然后根据题干中的中心词迅速返回原文定位到一句话,最后根据同义改写的原则,选出正确答案。
判定文章主题技巧
有的考生认为只要不考主旨题,就没必要了解文章的主旨。其实这是一种很狭隘的错误认识,因为即使不考主题题型,在任何题型当中,如果你感觉很茫然,找不到任何定位信息的时候,你所能抓住唯一的,最后一根救命稻草就是文章的主题,题目做多了,你就会发现哪个选项和文章的主题越是接近,就越是正确答案,所以能否判定一篇文章的主题对于解题是至关重要的。下面就寻找文章的主题谈一些技巧。
1) 读文章时重点关注文章的首段和首末句。按照西方人习惯性的思维方式和写作习惯,他们惯用的是演绎法:即文章一开始先扔出自己的核心观点,然后具体一步步论证。根据我的统计,每一段的第一句、第二句和最后一句话为本段的主题句的概率分别为50%、20%、20%,三句话成为主题句的概率超过九成,当然也就成为我们阅读的重中之重。
2) 关注一篇文章或者一段话中有没有重复出现的词或词组、有没有黑体字或者是斜体字。如果有,通常这就是文章的核心概念
3) 问句不会是主题句。问句通常作为过渡或者是引子,因此应该忽略,真正的主题应该是这个问题的答案。
4) 关注一些表征强转折关系的连词,如 “but, yet, however, in fact, indeed, practically, virtually”等,这些词后面连接的通常都是一段话的主题句。
5) 关注一些表征总结性,结论性的词,如 “in brief/short, above/in/after/all in all, conclusion, to sum”等,这些词后面连接的通常也都是一段话的主题句。
6) 如果主题句含有show和suggest等词,重点看其后的宾语从句。
7) 掌握一些词组强调的重点,如 “not only…, but also ***, *** as well as …, more *** than …, less …, than *** (***为强调的重点)”。
第二部分 篇章层次的词汇理解 (Banked Cloze)
这是一种新题型,对于众多考生而言,既陌生又有一定的难度,具有较强的区分度。从样题看,Banked Cloze考一篇长度为220个单词左右的文章,在文章当中去除了10个单词,后面有15个单词选项,要求考生选择正确的单词填入文章。该部分测试重点在于把握文章的结构,主要考察考生对诸如连贯性、一致性、逻辑联系等语篇、语段整体特征以及单词在实际语境中的理解,即要求考生在理解全文的基础上弄清文章的宏观结构和具体细化到每个单词的微观理解。新题型和原本的词汇题相比,更注重实际运用,从单一的一句话考察上升到篇章的理解。
解题步骤
1) 跳读全文,抓住中心
首先考生应该跳读全文,根据首段原则以及首末句原则,迅速抓出文章的主题。判定文章主题对于篇章的整体把握具有很大的积极意义。
2) 阅读选项,词性分类
接着我们要仔细阅读选项。因为选项给我们的仅仅是一个单词,而非句子或者语段,所以考试难度就大大下降了。我们应该根据词性把每个单词进行分类归纳。如名词、动词、形容词、副词、介词、连词各有几个选项。
3) 瞻前顾后,灵活选择
然后我们在选择时,可以根据空格中应填入的词性,大大缩小选择范围。根据上下文的内在逻辑结构选择合适的选项填空。
4) 复读全文,谨慎调整
填空完成后,再次复读全文,自我感觉上下文是否通顺、内在逻辑关系是否连贯。如有问题,也需要谨慎的微作调整。
解题技巧
1) 判定词性时可以重点分析动词的时态,即哪几个是一般时,哪几个是过去时又或者是过去分词。因为根据样题,它对考生不做选项改写要求,所以我们可以根据上下文时态对应的原则,给自己进一步缩小选择范围。
2) 如果选项中出现指代词时,往往该选项不能放在首句,要注意指代成立的条件。
3) 如果选项中出现一组反义词时,往往有一个是干扰选项,它注重考察的是对于文章框架结构的理解,要求考生理解整篇文章的语境色彩。
4) 如果选项中出现一组近义词时,往往也有一个是干扰选项,它注重考察的是词汇的精确理解,要求考生分析清楚其细微的区别。
5) 如果选项为连词时,要关注上下句内在的逻辑关系。常见的逻辑关系有:因果,并列平行,递进,强对比,前后意思一致等。
6) 要有总体观,不必按顺序作题。先把自己最有把握的词选出,然后删除该选项,为吃不准的选项缩小选择范围。
样题解析
When Roberto Feliz came to the USA from the Dominican Republic, he knew only a few words of English .Education soon became a 47. “I couldn’t understand anything,” he said. He 48 from his teachers, came home in tears, and thought about dropping out.
A) wonder I) hid
B) acquired J) prominent
C) consistently K) decent
D) regained L) countless
E) nightmare M) recalled
F) native N) breakthrough
G) acceptance O) automatically
H) effective
首先我们跳读全文,抓住文章的中心。整篇文章通过Roberto的成功例子来论证双语教育的好处。我们重点分析一下第一段,首段主题是Roberto由于不懂英语,给他产生了重大的负面作用。
然后把选项进行归类,其中名词有E, G, N;动词包含A, B, D, I, M. 其中只有A为一般时,其余都是过去时;形容词包括F, H, J, K, L. 其中J和K意思相近;副词为C, O。
接着我们再读原文,第47题明显应该填入一个名词,而选项中名次只有三个,我们会发现这道题目从15选1的难度已经降为3选1了。根据下文 “I couldn’t understand anything”知道上文必应填一个不好的词,那只有选E。第48题,首先这里要填一个动词,后半句出现了 came 和 thought,为了保持时态一致,该动词应该为一般过去式,只有 B 、 D 、 I 、 M 符合;其次,从意思上理解, hid from 有隐瞒、躲避某人的意思,所以该题答案选 I。确定后就可以把这两个答案从15个选项中划去,以降低以后选项的难度。大家可以根据这个方法轻松搞定后面的8个空格。
最后我们再复读全文,发现文章非常流畅通顺,也就标志着我们大功告成了。
我们正处于一个变革的年代,物竞天择,适者生存,我们更需要的是与时俱进!希望各位考生加入我们的队伍,一起挑战四级710,梦想有多高,你就能飞多远!让四级考试最终成为你的骄傲,你的光荣,你的辉煌!

Passage 4
When you start talking about good and bad manners
you immediately start meeting difficulties. Many
people just cannot agree what they mean. We asked a
lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a
well-mannered person on the way they occupied the 1.
space around them—for example, when such a person
walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of 2.
others. Such people never bump into other people.
However, a second person thought that this was
more a question of civilized behavior as good manners. 3.
Instead, this other person told us a story, it he 4.
said was quite well known, about an American who
had been invited to an Arab meal at one of the 5.
countries of the Middle East. The American hasn't been 6.
told very much about the kind of food he might expect.
If he had known about American food, he 7.
might have behaved better.
Immediately before him was a very flat piece of
bread that looked, to him, very much as a napkin(餐 8.
巾). Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that it
falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been 9.
watching, said of nothing, but immediately copied 10.
the action of his guest.
And that, said this second person, was a fine
example of good manners.
注:constantly 一直、总是
bump into 撞上
逻辑错误通常是正反错误,而且往往是有没有否定前缀。(通常一篇至少有一个)
tell 告诉、区别、辨别
which 属于关系词
that和which的区别:逗号后面只能用which
介词后面只能加which

13. Brain Drain
Brain drain is a delicate problem with which this country is confronted. In the last ten years
or so, a lot of scientists and technicians have swarmed into developed countries for further studies or research work, let alone numerous promising students. And there are no indications that they will be back home before long. This country has paid the expenses of training them but lost them. How did that come about?
It seems that it isn't impossible to solve the problem. The scientists and the like can be
attracted back home so long as great importance is attached to the intellectual's deserving treatment and effective measures are taken to provide them with excellent pay and agreeable conditions.
注:so long as 只要; great importance is attached to... 重视
effective measures 有效措施
14. Treasure Water
The availability of water has been an important factor in China's growth. China is blessed
with large supplies of fresh water. Such mighty rivers as the Yellow, the Yangtse and the Songhua irrigate the farming land of thousands of miles along them. In addition, the development of industry and the water supply of big cities are made possible largely by vast resources.
注:Treasure v 珍惜.
15. How to Solve Energy Crisis
Man is faced with a big problem—the energy crisis, which is becoming more and more
serious. First, with the increase in the world's population, the demand for fuels is growing steadily. Second, the rapid development of industry and agriculture calls for an increasing amount of coal, oil and natural gas.
注:energy 能源;crisis 危机
1、面临
2、解决
Confronted with the energy crisis, we should take a series of effective measures to save
energy. For one thing, it is high time that people all over the world realized the severe fact that our natural resources have been fixed since the earth was created. For another, the governments of all countries are supposed to lay down the rules and regulations to restrict the amount of gas used by cars. Finally, scientific researches should be encouraged to work out efficient methods of saving fuels and to seek new sources of energy.
Personally, I believe that solar energy is a possible source of clean, inexpensive and abundant
energy. It does not pollute the environment and costs only as much as the installation of solar panels to absorb the sun's rays. Consequently. I'm confident that a bright future is awaiting us because solar energy will be able to help us to solve the energy crisis.
注:personally 就我个人而言;solar 太阳能
17. Physical Exercise
More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise. In the
past, most people were involved in manual labour out in the fresh air of the fields. Nowadays a lot of people work in offices, spending most of their time indoors. In the evenings they usually sit watching TV or reading newspapers. Their daily lives don't provide them with the exercise needed to keep them healthy. Therefore, they must devote part of their time to doing regular physical exercise.
注:两点提纲:
1、重要
2、方法
18. Information in the Modern Society
n the modern society, it is important to be well-informed. Success in many fields depends on
getting the latest information. At the same time, failure in policy-making often results from the lack of necessary information. That is why we call the current age“the Information Age”.
There are many means of acquiring information which enable us to keep up with the step of social development. First, we read various books, newspapers ...

16. Fire Accidents in Big Cities
In recent years there has been a marked growth of fire accidents in big cities of our country.
Almost every day we see fire engines rushing through streets. Fires have not only resulted in heavy economic losses but also injured and killed many people.
What are the causes of fire accidents? Most of the fires are brought about by carelessness and violation of fire safety regulations. Others are due to the poor quality of home electrical appliances. ...
In my opinion, in order to prevent fires we should first of all foster people's sense of fire
prevention. The second thing we have to do is to increase the number of professional fire fighters, to whom regular training courses should be offered. Finally, we are to improve the existing fire engines and add more fire facilities to high-rise buildings. In this way, a reliable fire prevention system will be formed.
注:foster 培养;enhance 提高

How I Finance My College Education
Nowadays, tuition and fees for college are much higher than ever before. How to finance
your college education has become a matter of concern for many. You can deal with in many ways. You can get all of the money from your parents. You can apply for a loan especially set up for college students. You can also acquire the money completely by yourself, doing a full-time job in summer or winter holiday. In addition, you can ask your parents for most of it and earn the rest in your spare time in college, by doing a part time job.
注:get all of 得到;alpply for 申请;loan 贷款;acquire 得到
Part-time Jobs for College Students
There are some controversies on part-time jobs for college students. People who are against it
hold that the sole purpose of higher education is for the students to acquire knowledge. If they are engaged in part-time job they will be invariably distracted from their studies and as a result they can not fulfil the requirements mapped out by the State Education Commission. The writer, however, thinks that there are several advantages for college students involved in part-time jobs.
Firstly, part-time jobs provide opportunities for students to contact society so as to know the
situation of the talent market. For instance, if a student works as a part-time governess, he or she will know what kind of professionals are urgently needed by the market and this will help him to choose a future job. Secondly, there are some financial gains from part-time jobs. Since the reform was carried out, institutions of higher education have started to collect tuition fees from students. Needless to say this means another financial burden on parents. And part-time jobs can serve as a partial solution to this problem. Last but not least, part-time jobs can cultivate students' sense of independence.

First,setting off firecrackers leads to fires.Secondly it result in injuress to people.Finally it also brings about noise.
On the other hand, there are many people who say that firecrackers should be banned.
They point out that firecrackers are responsible for fires which destroy property, and for injuries suffered both by the people who set them off and by innocent bystanders. They also say that firecrackers are a waste of money and resources.
注:point out 指出;be responsible for 造成
On the other hand,there are many people who say that pets should be banned.They point
out that pets are responsible for nioses which disturb people's rest,and for injuries suffered both by the people who keep them by innocent neighbors.
My own point of view is that we should preserve the old custom of letting off
firecrackers, while at the same time making them harmless. We can do this by banning firecrackers from public places. In addition, we should restrict the setting off of firecrackers to festival days.
注:My own point of view is that we should be allowed to keep pets, while at the same time making them harmless.

1.有些人认为某些数字会带来好运。
2.我认为数字和运气无关……
注:Some people believe that some number can bring them good luck.
For example in China the number eight is believed to be a number that can bring people good luck.Another example is the number six.
There are people who believe that some numbers bring good luck, while others bring bad
luck. For instance, in China the number eight is thought to be lucky. Turning our attention to the West, we find that the number seven is considered lucky, but the number 13 is avoided like the plague.
注:认为:is thought、is considered
In spite of all these claims, most people would agree that there is little evidence that numbers
have any influence on our lives. In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. ……In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. For one thing, we might expect calculators to break down every time they note the number 13, and for another, although every week has seven days we know that not every week is lucky for us.
Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter point of
view. It is obvious that there is no scientific basis for the belief that there is a connection between luck and numbers. All in all, it seems to me to be superstition.
注:latter -> former;superstition 迷信;All in all, it seems to me to be a waste of time.

As a general rule, people like to help others, but there are occasions when you should say no
to requests for favors. For instance, it is better to refuse when a child pesters you for sweet food and drinks or for too many toys. Another example is when a relative asks you to use your influence to get him or her a bank loan or a work promotion.
注:pesters sb. for 缠着某人要……
However, we cannot ignore the fact that many people are reluctant to say no. They feel that if
they turn down a request from a relative or friend, they will cause ill-feeling within the family or become unpopular with their acquaintances. A notable case in point is when the boss asks them to do something which they feel is unreasonable.
注:2004年1月 “Reduce waste on campus”
we cannot ignore the fact that many students are wasting food.
……Not throw them away, they revised the perservation date, and saled them again after several
days. Another case in the point, a pair of shoes was made from goat. However, in order to sale at a
high price, the salers would say they were made from cow which has good quality.

中国准备对国际软件巨头发起反垄断诉讼 价格歧视使我国盗版横行
6月11日,记者从权威人士处获悉,国家知识产权局的人正联合研究机构,对国际软件巨头的市场垄断行为进行调研,有可能在2008年8月1日《中华人民共和国反垄断法》正式实施后,组织相关企业对其进行反垄断诉讼。站在国家利益的角度,国际大软件厂商在中国确实存在垄断威胁,一方面他们通过捆绑方式排挤竞争对手,另一方面通过复杂的定价策略形成价格歧视,间接上造成国内软件市场盗版率过高。
国家知识产权局副局长张勤表示:“中国盗版率不可能这么高,盗版率问题已经被国外机构妖魔化了。”
6月11日,记者从权威人士处获悉,国家知识产权局的人正联合研究机构,对国际软件巨头的市场垄断行为进行调研,有可能在2008年8月1日《中华人民共和国反垄断法》正式实施后,组织相关企业对其进行反垄断诉讼。
据该人士透露,针对这些软件巨头的反垄断诉讼主要集中在两点:一是歧视性价格,如部分国际软件商的操作系统和办公软件在中国内地的售价,较美国本土价格高出许多;二是利用它们自己在操作系统、办公软件文件格式方面的垄断地位,捆绑销售软件,扼杀本土企业的生存空间。
20% PK 82%
2008年5月14日,商业软件联盟(BSA)发布IDC第五次全球PC软件年度盗版研究报告。报告中称:2007年中国的PC软件盗版率在前三年下降10个百分点之后,连续第二年维持在82%的水平,仍大大高于全球38%的盗版率。
BSA方面称,中国软件盗版率之所以与2006年相比没有明显的变化,主要是由于2007年底,IDC发现地方PC组装厂商(又称“白牌机”厂商)所销售的PC数量比先前统计的要高出25%,而这些“白牌机”相对于品牌机更多地安装了非法软件,由此给2007年盗版率的数字带来影响。
与之针锋相对的是,BSA公布调查结果仅仅两周,国内机构——互联网实验室也发布了《2007年中国软件盗版率调查报告》,报告中的数据却大相径庭。
互联网实验室的报告显示:与2006年相比,单从盗版软件市值来计算,2007年中国软件产业的盗版率又下降了4个百分点,仅为20%;而以套数计算,软件的盗版率则下降了11个百分点至41%。
据了解,从1994年至2004年的十年间,BSA对中国软件盗版率的调查数字一直在90%以上,2005年至2007年期间在82%~86%之间,虽整体有所下降,却仍高居世界软件盗版的榜首。
对此,国家知识产权局副局长张勤表示:“中国盗版率不可能这么高,盗版率问题已经被国外机构妖魔化了。”
被“妖魔化”的盗版率
一个是82%,一个是20%。为何同样是软件盗版率,两者公布的数据却相差十万八千里?
中科院计算所工程院院士倪光南对BSA调查报告的准确性和调查方法及计算方法的可靠性提出了质疑。他表示:“(对于市场调查结果)国内外两方都应公开言及方法和数据,但遗憾的是,BSA并没有这样做。”
互联网实验室董事长方兴东分析,虽然BSA没有主动公开其统计方法,但通过其公布的信息来看,BSA的调查范围只限于PC软件(包括台式机、膝上型电脑、便携式电脑,不包括掌上电脑和用做服务器的电脑),BSA的方法只向用户调查软件装载数量,用统计资料或专家访谈获取其他数据,通过间接的方法计算盗版率。
“BSA这种非公开、不透明的统计数据,像一座大山一样压在了中国人身上。由于2005年以前中国的软件盗版率一直由BSA一手掌握,而其强大的公关宣传也起到了很大的促进作用。因此,多年来BSA的数据一直被认为是客观公正而又独一无二的,中国成了世界上盗版最猖獗的国家,政府饱受问责。”方兴东对BSA的“无赖”做法表示愤慨。
他在接受记者采访时认为,软件“自由化”是行业的发展趋势,就数量而言,人们日常工作、娱乐中的电脑软件80%甚至90%是免费的,比如炒股用的大智慧,上网用的MyIE,看电影用的影音风暴,打字用的紫光输入法,都是免费软件。而在服务器系统软件(如IBM)、行业应用软件(如SAP、金蝶、用友等)方面,盗版率几乎为零。所以,指责中国软件市场盗版率高达82%,明显与事实不符。
“BSA是一个会员组织,它的经费主要来自于从打击盗版中获得的提成,仅2002年就获得8000万美元收入。所以,BSA的报告很多情况下是站在国际大软件商的立场说话的。以操作系统盗版率为例,他们是以国内每年装机数量为分母,减去微软在国内销售的正版视窗系统做分子算出来的,并未考虑Linux等开源软件的份额。”一位国内软件业人士向记者道破天机。
数据影响了立场还是立场影响了数据
据方兴东介绍,由于互联网实验室与BSA间的统计数据相差巨大,他们曾在发布《2007年中国软件盗版率调查报告》前邀请BSA方面一同探讨交流,但“BSA一直没派人过来”。
随后,记者采访了BSA中国代表处的工作人员,询问他们对互联网实验室的《2007年中国软件盗版率调查报告》的看法。工作人员告诉记者:BSA的中国软件盗版率市场调查工作一直是委托给市场研究机构国际数据公司(IDC)来做,IDC提供英文报告给BSA美国总部,美国总部再将中国区部分内容传给代表处,BSA中国代表处只负责翻译工作。因此,数据解释还要通过美国总部对外发布,目前不会提供除报告本身之外的更多东西。
随后,该工作人员传给记者一份BSA的官方声明。声明中称“BSA欢迎包括互联网实验室在内的中国国内机构,从打击盗版、促进软件产业发展的目的出发,独立开展软件盗版研究。IDC的研究报告专注于个人电脑套装软件的盗版,而互联网实验室研究的是一个更广的软件市场的混合。BSA和其他机构共同携手推动知识产权保护工作,也愿意与相关各方就知识产权保护工作进行深入沟通,交换意见,共同为推动中国建立一个健康的软件市场环境而努力”。
“BSA和互联网实验室是‘各为其主’,BSA的背后支持者是国际大软件商,而互联网实验室的市场调查,实际上是受国家知识产权局委托的一个课题。所以,很难说是数据影响了立场,还是立场影响了数据。”业内知情人士这样评价。
该人士认为,站在国家利益的角度,国际大软件厂商在中国确实存在垄断威胁,一方面他们通过捆绑方式排挤竞争对手,另一方面通过复杂的定价策略形成价格歧视,间接上造成国内软件市场盗版率过高。
“一套视窗系统零售价1000元-2000元,一套OFFICE软件套装零售价4000元-5000元,加起来比一台电脑的价格还高。国际厂商一方面利用垄断地位制订出高得离谱的正版软件价格,另一方面又指责中国人版权意识低下,这种现象并不正常。随着《反垄断法》的正式实施,政府和企业有义务也有权利予以纠正。”该人士表示。
国家知识产权局副局长张勤表示:“中国盗版率不可能这么高,盗版率问题已经被国外机构妖魔化了。”
6月11日,记者从权威人士处获悉,国家知识产权局的人正联合研究机构,对国际软件巨头的市场垄断行为进行调研,有可能在2008年8月1日《中华人民共和国反垄断法》正式实施后,组织相关企业对其进行反垄断诉讼。
据该人士透露,针对这些软件巨头的反垄断诉讼主要集中在两点:一是歧视性价格,如部分国际软件商的操作系统和办公软件在中国内地的售价,较美国本土价格高出许多;二是利用它们自己在操作系统、办公软件文件格式方面的垄断地位,捆绑销售软件,扼杀本土企业的生存空间。
20% PK 82%
2008年5月14日,商业软件联盟(BSA)发布IDC第五次全球PC软件年度盗版研究报告。报告中称:2007年中国的PC软件盗版率在前三年下降10个百分点之后,连续第二年维持在82%的水平,仍大大高于全球38%的盗版率。
BSA方面称,中国软件盗版率之所以与2006年相比没有明显的变化,主要是由于2007年底,IDC发现地方PC组装厂商(又称“白牌机”厂商)所销售的PC数量比先前统计的要高出25%,而这些“白牌机”相对于品牌机更多地安装了非法软件,由此给2007年盗版率的数字带来影响。
与之针锋相对的是,BSA公布调查结果仅仅两周,国内机构——互联网实验室也发布了《2007年中国软件盗版率调查报告》,报告中的数据却大相径庭。
互联网实验室的报告显示:与2006年相比,单从盗版软件市值来计算,2007年中国软件产业的盗版率又下降了4个百分点,仅为20%;而以套数计算,软件的盗版率则下降了11个百分点至41%。
据了解,从1994年至2004年的十年间,BSA对中国软件盗版率的调查数字一直在90%以上,2005年至2007年期间在82%~86%之间,虽整体有所下降,却仍高居世界软件盗版的榜首。
对此,国家知识产权局副局长张勤表示:“中国盗版率不可能这么高,盗版率问题已经被国外机构妖魔化了。”
被“妖魔化”的盗版率
一个是82%,一个是20%。为何同样是软件盗版率,两者公布的数据却相差十万八千里?
中科院计算所工程院院士倪光南对BSA调查报告的准确性和调查方法及计算方法的可靠性提出了质疑。他表示:“(对于市场调查结果)国内外两方都应公开言及方法和数据,但遗憾的是,BSA并没有这样做。”
