　　51．A。这里考查的是固定搭配。on this account或者on that account的意思是“因为这个缘故”或者“为了那个缘故”。

　　52．B。这里考查的是分词做定语。indicating such an outcome这个短语作为名词report的定语出现，说明这个report是什么样的，所以要用的不是谓语动词，而是一个做定语的分词。应选主动语态的indicating。

　　53．C。从上下文的语境中我们可以看出，杭州政府启动了一项改革，从意义上来看，只有launch符合要求，其他选项都是表示“结束”的意思。在这里，launch表示“开始，启动”的意思。

　　54．A。involve in后面应该跟动名词或者名词。C选项中的maintenance虽然是名词形式，但后面应该加of，所以只有maintaining合适。

　　55．A。such做前置限定词时，其后通常跟a及单数可数名词，表示“这样的，这种的，此类的”。such that意为“如此……以至于……”。

　　56．A。介词by表示通过某种方式。by these measures意为“通过这些措施”。

　　57．D。引导同位语从句时用关系连词that。在本句中，that引导的同位语从句具体解释了fact的内容。

　　58．D。ask for有“索求”的意义，在这个句子中比较合适。其他选项provide，offer和supply都有“给予”的意义，用在这一语境中不成立。

　　59．A。两个小句之间是因果关系，because引导的从句表示的是原因，而therefore和thus都只能引导表示结果的从句，because of后面只能是名词或者名词性质的短语。

　　60．C。这句话说的是纳税人因为担心决策者做出有悖于他们利益的事而要求政策制定有透明度。satisfied意为“满意的”，不符合原句意义上的要求。由于同样的原因，pleased(高兴的)和confused(疑惑的)也不符合。

　　61．B。根据语境，作者的意思是低级的公务员比高级公务员出差更多，因此补贴办法是不合理的。

　　62．D。whether引导表示“是否”的宾语从句，that引导表示陈述句的宾语从句。

　　63．C。动词不定式to increase表示目的。这句话的意思为：这项改革只是官员用车补的形式提高自己收入的一种手段。

　　64．A。levy在这里是“征税”的意思。

　　65．B。原意是“严格而透明的监管”，因此opaque(不透明的)，obscure(模糊的)，ambiguous(模棱两可的)都不符合文意。
