Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One
The British policeman has several nicknames, but the most frequently used are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes from the verb “cop” meaning “to take”, and the second comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, a 19th century politician, who was the founder of the police force. An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler”, but this name had died out. Visitors to England seem, nearly always, to be very impressed by the English police. In fact, it has become a joke that visitors to Britain, when asked for his opinions of the country, will always say, “I think your policemen are wonderful.” Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful person.
A music-hall song of some years ago was called “If you want to know the time, ask a policeman.” Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policemen. In London, the policemen spend so much of
their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else. 41. The British policeman has nicknames mentioned in the passage. A. two
B. three
C. several
D. many
42. The main idea of the second paragraph is that . A. visitors to Britain are very thankful to the policemen for their help B. the British policemen tell the visitors the views of their country C. visitors to England think the British policemen are wonderful D. the English policemen have become a joke to the visitors
43. “If you want to know the time, ask a policeman.” This means . A. the British policeman knows the time correctly
B. the British policeman likes to tell the time to the visitors C. most people’s watches don’t go well D. the policemen are friendly and helpful
44. What’s the attitude of the British people towards the policemen? A. They respect them very much. B. They don’t respect them at all.
C. They think the policemen are friendly and helpful. D. They don’t like them.
45. From the whole passage, we know that .
A. the British policemen spend a lot of time directing the visitors to London B. the British policemen’s nicknames may not be wonderful
C. the British policemen can’t find any time to do anything else but help the visitors all day D. the British policemen’s nicknames have died out Passage Two
Some people believe that you have to be a special kind of people to sell a product. But although it is clear that a successful salesman does need special talents and an open personality, many of the skills he uses are used by us all.
We build and keep relationships with different kinds of people, we listen to and take note of what they tell us and don’t just enjoy the sound of our own voices, and we explain things to them or discuss ideas with them.
In the same way, any company needs to establish a personal relationship with its major clients and potential customers. It is often said that “people do business with people”: a firm doesn’t just deal impersonally(没有人情味地) with another firm. A person in the buying department regularly receives personal visits from people representing the firm’s suppliers（供应商）—or in the case of department stores of chain stores, a team of buyers may travel around visiting their suppliers.
Keeping sales people“on the road”is much more expensive than employing them to work in the office. Much of the sales people’s time is spent unproductively traveling. Telephone selling may use this time more productivity, but a face-to-face meeting and discussion is much more effective. Companies involved in the export trade often have a separate export sales force. Its travel and accommodation expenses may be very high. As a result, servicing overseas customers may often be done by phone, telex(电传) or letter, and personal visits may be less often. Many firms appoint an overseas agent or distributor（分销商) whose own sales force takes over the responsibility for selling their products in another country. 46. According to the passage, to be a successful salesman, one . A. doesn’t need any talent B. needs to go out every day C. should listen to his boss
D. should be able to work with different kinds of people
47. In the third paragraph, “potential customers” refers to people who .
A. are likely to buy your products
B. are already important clients of your firm C. are not willing to buy your products D. are not interested in your products
48. The phrase “on the road” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by . A. traveling .
A. they have too many sales people
B. relaxing
C. playing
D. sightseeing
49. The passage indicates that some companies use telephone selling because
B. their sales people don’t like traveling C. it saves time D. it is more polite
50. The last paragraph says that an overseas agent of a company is responsible for . A. training local sales people B. protecting local customers C. holding regular sales conferences D. selling its products in the local area Passage Three
In April 1985, the management of the Coca-Cola Company announced its decision to change the flavor of the company’s flagship brand. This decision was made based on the fact that Pepsi consumer research discovered in blind taste tests that a majority of consumers preferred the taste of Pepsi to that of Coke. The “Pepsi Challenge” campaign made this public knowledge and Coke executives quickly moved to change American’s top brand. New Coke came in a new can, with updated red and silver graphics replacing the traditional red and white look. Although taste tests of the New Coke had shown that a majority of those tested preferred the new product, these tests could not gauge (评估) the emotional appeal of the “old” Coke. In other words, consumers want their cake and eat it too. A large public cried one after another during the 79 days when “old” Coke was no longer on the shelves. Coca-Cola quickly reintroduced the “old” Coke when they realized market share was falling and named it Classic Coke. Volume for the classic brand has risen 24 percent since 1984, making it the No.1 soft drink in the land since 1987. Consumers became even more loyal to the brand after it was temporarily taken away from them. 51. What do you think is the best title for this passage? A. Consumers’ Loyalty to the Old Coke Brand B. Competition between Coca-Cola and Pepsi C. New Coke—A Lesson in Brand Loyalty D. Always Coca-cola
52. Why did Coca-Cola Company decide to change the flavor of the company’s flagship brand? A. Because it’s in their plan.
B. Because of consumers’ preference.
C. Because of the competition brought by Pepsi Company, the “Pepsi Challenge” campaign. D. Because the management don’t want to keep that brand anymore. 53. What is the New Coke like? A. It is a traditional can.
B. It is a new can, with updated red and silver graphics. C. It has a red and white look. D. The New Coke can is blue.
54. From this passage we can infer that .
A. A Pepsi consumer research shows that a majority of consumers preferred the taste of Pepsi to that of Coke. B. In Coke’s test, the majority of those tested preferred the old coke. C. New Coke has more loyal consumers than the old one. D. New Coke sells better than the old coke.
55. From when did Coca-cola become America’s No.1 soft drink? A. Since 1984 Passage Four
There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.
Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, and native-speaking students.
To begin with, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.
B. Since 1985
C.Since 1987
D. Since 1989
Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.
56. Henning made the experiment in order to study . A. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memory B. how students learn English vocabulary C. how to develop students’ability in English
D. how long information in short-term memory is kept
57. Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?
A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory. B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.
C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory. D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students. 58. From Henning’s result we can see that .
A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of words B. advanced students remember words by their meaning C. it is difficult to remember words that sound alike
D. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning 59. The word “subject” in the passage means . A. memory
B. the theme of listening material C. a branch of knowledge studied D. the student experimented on 60. The passage centers on . A. memory
