【 参考答案与解题思路】

■ 1. C

猜测词义题，考查根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义

解析：

后文说“现在人们更喜欢室内拍摄且倾向于某种具体的拍摄方式”。

根据生活经验，且前文描述了水下拍摄的特殊场景，这里能猜到customized的意思就是“定制的，按照顾客需求的”，故此题选C。

■ 2. B

判断推理题，考查做出判断和推理

解析：

由第二段中的“companiesliketheLoveStoryinRomestudiobringarangeofbackgrounds,costumes,accessoriesandthemestogether”可知，湖内摄影将提供拍摄背景，服装，配饰，拍摄主题等，A、C、D选项正确；热带花园为背景的一种，但摄影棚不提供热带植物，B选项错误，故此题选B。

■ 3. C

判断推理题，考查做出判断和推理

解析：

根据第三段“Chinesepeopleusedtolovetogoontripsforshootingtheirweddingphotos....”可知，中国人过去喜欢在旅途中拍摄婚纱照，而并非当下流行趋势，所以A不选；根据“Butnowtheyprefertoshootindoorsandpreferamoreprecisephotographystyle.”可知，人们更喜欢室内拍摄而非室外拍摄，所以B不选；D选项不对，“Inonecarefullystage-managedshot,abrideinawhitedressfloatshalf-submergedinwater,drinkingaglassofwine.”，本句是对一幅拍摄照场景的描述，喝红酒并非新娘潜水的目的；结合A和B，可知室内拍摄更受当下年轻人的欢迎，故本题选C。

■ 4. A

主旨题，考查主旨要义

解析：

本文通篇都在讲“室内婚前摄影逐渐在中国市场流行，受到新婚夫妇的喜爱”，A选项“婚前摄影产业在中国蓬勃兴起”最符合这篇文章的主旨。

vt.tofailtoguessorunderstandtherealcost,size,difficulty,etc.ofsomething.低估

4.disparity:

noun.alackofequalityorsimilarity,especiallyinawaythatisnotfair.不等，悬殊

【参考答案与解题思路  】

■ 1. C

猜测词义题，考查根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义

解析：

该空前文说明了“前两年的雇员或工人的薪酬差距”，下文说“这些rawgap数字并未根据年资，职称或职位进行调整”，其中的“这些rawgap数字”指代的是前文的“前两年的雇员或工人的薪酬差距”。

因而，rawgap意为原始的差距，过去的差距。

本句意为“花旗集团说到，这些原始差距数字并未根据年资，职称或职位进行调整”。

故此题选C。

■ 2. C

细节题，考查文中具体信息

解析：

根据第四段“ThepaygapreflectsaneedtoincreaserepresentationofwomenandUSminoritiesinseniorandhigher-payingroles,"wroteSaraWechter,Citigroup'sheadofhumanresources,inablogpost..”可知，花旗集团人力资源主管萨拉·韦克特（SaraWechter）在博客中写道：

“薪资差距反映出有必要增加女性和美国少数民族在高薪和高薪职位中的代表性。

C项最符合题意。

A项在原文中没有提及，B项和D项的说法不全面，只提到了减小性别薪资差距及提高女性职员薪资，都漏掉了提高美国少数民族薪资的必要。

故此题选C。

■ 3. D

判断推理题，考查做出判断和推理

解析：

根据第一段“Citigroupismakingprogresstowardshrinkingitsgenderpaygap.Butitstillhassomeworktodo.”可知，花旗集团在缩小性别薪酬差距方面正在取得进展。

但它仍有一些工作要做，因而目前并没有完成缩小性别薪酬差距。

所以A项错误；根据第六段“Whenadjustedtoaccountforjobtitles,seniorityandlocation,womenatCitigroupearned1%lessthantheirmalec
