　　Sweet smell of excess-for just ￡ 47.874 a bottle

　　The marketing says it is the “ ultimate symbol of indulgence and truly impeccable taste”. A new scent, named V1, has (0) launched for Christmas-retailing at just ￡47.874 . The makers are proudly promoting it (31) ,the “ world’s most expensive perfume” and are confident of selling the limited edition of 173 bottles-(32) it should be exactly 173 bottles is not made clear in the publicity for the product.

　　Although carefully priced at just under the ￡50.000 mark, this perfume is clearly (33) something for anyone who considers ￡30 too much to pay for a bottle of eau-de-toilette. Those (34) are potential customers will certainly be reassured to learn that a case covered in rubies and diamonds is included free (35) charge. Purchasers are assured of further savings, with unlimited scent refills guaranteed indefinitely- at no extra cost.

　　The fragrance is the idea of Arfaq Hussain, a 27-year-old clothes designer who first made a name (36) himself with an air-conditioned jacket he was asked to make by the singer Michael Jackson (37) far, Mr Jackson is the only person to (38) placed an order- he wants two, according to Mr Hussain.

　　Mr Hussain is unconcerned at having no previous experience of perfumery . “ It’s so (39) more than a perfume ---- it’s a piece of jewellery, too. ” explained Mr Hussain. He attempted to describe the ￡47.874 sensation . “ it is delicate , fragrant and quite unique. When you open the lid, it takes you totally away . It’s just (40) being surrounded by thousands of wild flowers and roses.

　　這是高級(jí)閱讀部分的一個(gè)新題型。不僅中級(jí)里面沒(méi)有，一般的英語(yǔ)考試也沒(méi)有。填詞版的完形填空。乍一看會(huì)覺(jué)得很難，有點(diǎn)像是主觀題。其實(shí)題型什么的都是次要的，都是借著題型這個(gè)外殼考察語(yǔ)言功底。只要基本功夠扎實(shí)，完全可以通過(guò)摸準(zhǔn)不同題型的特點(diǎn)來(lái)做出正確的答案。

　　具體說(shuō)BEC H里的填詞版完型，里面填入的詞主要是連詞、介詞和代詞，一般不會(huì)讓你填入那種需要發(fā)揮超級(jí)想象力才能想得出的形容詞和動(dòng)詞。做題的思路有兩種，一種是固定用法、常見(jiàn)表達(dá)，一種是從語(yǔ)法角度分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，來(lái)判斷句子缺失的成分。

　　這篇文章講的是一種昂貴的新型香水，走的是高端路線。

　　31題，這題答案很明顯。圣誕發(fā)布的香水，制作者打算將它開(kāi)發(fā)成“世界上最昂貴的香水”(most expensive perfume)，promote….as，將什么給開(kāi)發(fā)成什么。

　　32題，要從意思和句子結(jié)構(gòu)上進(jìn)行分析。前面說(shuō)發(fā)售限量版的173瓶香水，后面一個(gè)破折號(hào)做進(jìn)一步的說(shuō)明。從意思上看，詞組made clear很關(guān)鍵，表原因的;而從句子成分上看，這里就是關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)的從句在句子中充當(dāng)補(bǔ)充成分。而能夠表示原因的關(guān)系代詞，是why。

　　33，34，35,這三道題也很明顯。33題從意思上做，這個(gè)香水肯定是不適合認(rèn)為30英鎊的香水很貴的人，所以是填not，表否定;34題，those who的搭配，應(yīng)該夠的上條件反射的級(jí)別，those who are potential customer，那些是潛在客戶的人;35題，free of charge，免費(fèi)，固定搭配。

　　36題，這題考察的也是一個(gè)固定搭配，make a name for oneself，使…出名。這個(gè)香水的創(chuàng)意來(lái)自一個(gè)服裝設(shè)計(jì)師，而此人最早出名是因?yàn)檫~天王讓他制作了一件空調(diào)夾克(air-conditioned jacket)。

　　37題，截止目前邁天王是唯一的下了訂單的人。So far，截止目前。

　　38題，下了訂單。have done，表示完成的意思。

　　39題，理解句子的意思+固定用法的使用。這個(gè)句子的意思很明顯：它不僅僅是一瓶香水，它還是一件珠寶。所以空格前后搭配的意思應(yīng)該是不僅僅。用so much more than。例如：so much more than just a home。

　　40題，最后幾句話都是夸贊這個(gè)香水的。多么的精致獨(dú)特。而當(dāng)你打開(kāi)香水的時(shí)候，你整個(gè)人都被take away了，就像是被成千上萬(wàn)的野花和玫瑰簇?fù)碇�。說(shuō)香水，卻扯到wild flowers和rose上面去了，所以是比喻，用like。
