25、nts become demands. Now, its important for the managers in a company to _37_ what their customers want if they are going to _38_ effective marketing strategies. There are various ways of doing this. One way at supermarkets, for example, is to _39_ customers while theyre doing their shopping. They ca
26、n be asked what they prefer to buy and then the _40_ of the research can be studied. This provides information on which to _41_ future marketing strategies. Its also quite _42_ for top managers from department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely with the public,
27、 as if they were _43_ customers, to get an idea of how customers act. Another way to get _44_ from customers is to give them something. For example, some fast food restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that _45_ customers to get part of their meal for nothing. As well as being
28、a good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their money, it also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to attract. Reading comprehensionSection A (15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phra
29、ses marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with word or phrase that best fits the context.The eyes are one of the most expressive instruments of body language. Keith, seventeen, from Montclair New Jersey, learned the hard way about one message the eyes can make. I had a _46_ who graded heavily on
30、classroom discussion, Keith says. He seemed to have a strong ability to know just when I didnt have the answer. I couldnt work out how he could be so_47_. Then I came to understand. Whenever I didnt know the answer, I would _48_ looking at him. When I did know what to say, I always _49_ straight bac
31、k at him. From that moment on, I _50_ myself to look him in the eye, _51_ I knew the answer or not. That trick has _52_ me a lot of trouble. Many people, including some policemen, believe eye contact is a good _53_ of honesty. If someone cant look you directly in the eye, then he or she is not playi
32、ng honestly，they insist. After many experiments, however, a number of experts have found out that good liars can make _54_ eye contact. Eye contact, though not a _55_ sign of dishonesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and _56_ to do so, you know his _57
33、_ is placed on yon. When he turns his head away, his mind is probably _58_ .But there are exceptions. A_59_ person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person. And certain nationalities ,such as the British and Germans, are much _60_ oriented (

36、B. nowhereC .elsewhere D. everywhere 59. A. brave B. shy C. stupid D. proud 60. A. more B. less C. tooD. enoughSection B (15%)Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that
37、 fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Parents with an adopted child wonder whether, when and how to tell their child that he or she is adopted. They also want to know if there are special problems for an adopted child.Child and adolescent psychiatrists (精
38、神病学家) recommend that the child be told about the adoption by the adoptive parents. Children should be told about their adoption in a way that they can understand.There are two different views on when a child should be told about the adoption. Many experts believe the child should be told at the earl
39、iest age possible. This approach provides the child an early opportunity to accept and understand the concept of being adopted. Other experts believe that telling a child too early may confuse the young child who cant really understand the event. These experts advise waiting until the child is older
40、.In either case, children should learn of their adoption from the adoptive parents. This helps give the message that adoption is good and that the child can trust the parents. If the child first learns about the adoption intentionally or accidentally from someone other than parents, the child may fe
41、el anger and mistrust towards the parents, and may view the adoption as bad or shameful because it was kept as a secret.Adopted children will want to talk about their adoption and parents should encourage this process. Several excellent childrens story books are available in bookstores which help pa
42、rents tell the child about being adopted.61.Parents who have an adopted child want to know _.A. how to hide the fact that he or she is adoptedB. when the child was born exactlyC. whether they should tell the child that he or she is adoptedD. if the child has certain diseases62.What happens if the ad
43、opted child learns the fact through channels other than the adoptive parents?A. They may never trust the adoptive parents again.B. They will probably think that the adoptive parents keep it as a secret due to some shameful reasons.C. They will leave the adoptive parents and prefer to be homeless.D.
44、They certainly will be annoyed.63.After they know that they are adopted, the children have a desire to _.A. learn more about their adoption from the adoptive parentsB. read more childrens story books about adoptionC. stay at home because they think the adoption is shameful or badD. talk about it wit
45、h other people such as neighbours64.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Adopted children recommend that they be told about the adoption by the adoptive parents.B. Experts all agree that telling the child too early about the adoption may confuse him.C. Some experts h
46、old that the adopted child should be kept in the dark as long as possible.D. Parents should not discourage the adopted child from talking about the process of adoption.(B)Advertisements should give reliable information about the goods advertised. Such information helps the customer to make a sensibl
47、e choice when he buys. Printed advertisements do this job best. Customers can collect them and compare them. They can be taken along to shops and their claims checked against the actual goods in the shops. It is much harder to do this with TV or radio advertisements. The best TV and radio advertisem
48、ents direct attention to printed advertisements which can be used as suggested above; few of them belong to this group, however. Some advertisements are not very useful to the customer. Instead of helping him to satisfy his real needs, they set out to make him want things. They set out to create a n
49、eed. These advertisements are cleverly done. The people who produce them understand our weaknesses. They set out to make us believe that what they advertise will make us cleverer, prettier and more handsome, if only we use it. Or they suggest that only such people use their products. We should be on
50、 guard. It is our money that they are after.Some advertisements mislead customers by using part of the truth to suggest something false. The advertisement says, The makers of Toovar washing machine recommend Jazz washing powder. So they do, but they recommend six other washing powders as well. The a
51、dvertisement does not say that Toovar recommend only Jazz. It is skillfully made to give that idea to the careless reader, listener or viewer.At its best advertising can be useful to the customer. At its worst it can mislead him. Many newspapers check on the advertisements which they publish. They c
52、heck on the goods for which the advertisements make claims. Most newspapers are very careful about the small advertisements which try to sell goods directly to the readers by post. Many newspapers print information about this on their small advertisement pages. Advertising has become a very big busi
53、ness, and good firms in it do all they can to make sure it is conducted with some attention to truth. This is a help to the customer. But the only real safeguard for the customer is his own alertness.65.It can be inferred from the passage that advertisements can be useful if they _.A. tell the custo
54、mers only what is good of the goodsB. give true information about goods C. tell customers what to buyD. tell the customers what goods are not available in the shops66.Some advertisements are deceiving(骗人的) because _.A. they use part of the truth to suggest something falseB. they do not tell the trut
55、h at allC. they only let the customers know about inferior brandsD. they do not let the customers know about the faults of the goods67.According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?A. Advertising firms do not care to tell the truth about the goods they advertise.B. All advertising firms only
56、 care to make money, as advertising is a big business.C. Most advertising firms make sure that advertisements do not purposely cheat.D. The advertising firms are responsible for the customers choice of goods (C)In the last 500 hundred years, nothing about people -their clothes, ideas, or languages h
57、as changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree (可可树) by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where
58、chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop
59、failed during the “Potato Famine (饥荒)” of 1845 1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower o
60、f coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was named when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were
61、attracted to the red berries on a tree. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one third of the worlds population now starts the day with. 68.According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?A. Food. B. Clothing. C. Ideology. D. Language
62、.69.The word “some” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to _.A. some cocoa treesB. some chocolate drinksC. some shopsD. some South American Indians70.Thousands of Irish people starved during the “Potato Famine” because _.A. they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat a
63、nything elseB. they were forced to leave homeland and move to AmericaC. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing potatoesD. the potato harvest was bad71. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. One third of the worlds population drinks coffee
64、.B. Coffee is native to Colombia.C. Coffee can keep one awake.D. Coffee drinks were first made by Arabs.(D)The temperature of the sun is over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matt
65、er can exist only as a gas, except at the core(核). In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.Solar astronomers do k
66、now that the sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the suns atmosphere. But since the sun has no solid surface, it
67、 is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins. The suns outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse (日食) such as the one in February 19
68、79. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the suns rays.The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse.
69、The coronas rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike (一束穗状) rays near the suns north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the suns equator.The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at the tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees
70、 Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the suns corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible.72.Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the suns _.A. size B. age C. location D. temperature73. What topic is the
71、second paragraph mainly about?A. How the sun evolved. B. The structure of the sun.C. Why scientists study the sun.D. The distance of the sun from the planets.74.All of the following are parts of the suns atmosphere EXCEPT the _.A. corona B. chromosphereC. photosphere D. core75.According to the passa
72、ge, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become _.A. Hotter B. clearerC. thinner D. stronger.
