Part I ReadingComprehension (每小题2分，共40分)
Directions: There are4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there arefour choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 arebased on the following passage.
We can see howthe product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee.When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular”coffer, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introductionstage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, andmany brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while peoplebecame attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Saleswent into a slight decline when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage ofdecline).
The importanceof the product life cycle to marketers is this: different stages in the productlife cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life sothat sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called marketmodification. It means that marking managers look for new users and marketsections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many studentscarry today were originally designed for the military?
Marketmodification also means searching for increased usage among resent customers orgoing for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer mayre-position the product to appeal to new market sections.
Another productextension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing productquality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from presentusers. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way torecapture world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed stylesdramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.
1. According to the passage, when people grow fond of one particularbrand of a product, its sales will ______.
A) decreasegradually
B) becomeunstable
C) improveenormously
D) remain at thesame level
2. The first paragraph tells us that a newproduct is ______.
A) usuallyintroduced to satisfy different tastes
B) often moreexpensive than old ones
C) ofteninferior to old ones at first
D) not easilyaccepted by the public
3. Marketers need to know which of the fourstages a product is in so as to ______.
A) work outmarketing policies
B) increase itspopularity
C) promote itsproduction
D) speed up itslife cycle
4. The author mentions the example of “backpacks” (the lastsentence, Paragraph 2) to show the importance of ______.
A) increasingusage among students
B) exploring newmarket sections
C) pleasing theyoung as well as the old
D) serving bothmilitary and civil needs
5. In order to recover their share of theworld market, US auto makers are ______.
A) improvingproduct quality
B) modernizingproduct style
C)re-positioning their product in the market
D) increasingproduct features
【答案与解析】
1.D 由文中第一段倒数第二句“After a while people became attached to one brand and sales leveledoff (stage of maturity)”可知，经过一段时间之后，人们就会认同喜爱某个品牌，销售水平就会保持稳定。level off 趋平，呈现某种平稳状态。
2.D 根据第一段第二句“When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular”coffer, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introductionstage)”，以消费者接受新咖啡的时间长为例，展开论述，表明大众接受某种新产品需要花费较长的时间。
3.A 根据文中第二段第一句话“The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this:different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies.”可知，在不同的产品生命周期需要采取不同的策略，所以营销者需要知道产品所处的四个时期以便做出对应的营销策略。
4.B 由第二段倒数第三句和第二句“One strategy is called market modification. It means that markingmanagers look for new users and market sections”可知，市场修正策略主要是开发新的消费者人群和新市场。而将书包的应用扩展到学生人群，正是这一策略成功实施的例子，显示出其重要性。
5.A 最后一段第三句“American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as oneway to recapture world markets”中的“quality improvement”清楚表明美国汽车市场是以提高汽车的质量来赢得市场的。
Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 arebased on the following passage.
Play is theprincipal business of childhood, and more and more in recent years research hasshown the vital importance of play in the development of a human being. Fromearliest infancy, every child needs adequate opportunity and the right materialfor play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is tosuggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys,therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of achild’s development.
In recent years research on infantdevelopment has shown the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largelydetermined in the first three years of his life. The right play materials for ababy should be things to touch, things to listen to, and things to watch. At notime in his life will a child develop as fast as now; in the first two yearseach month brings a change in what he can do and what he needs. A baby who isencouraged and stimulated, talked to, and shown things and played with, has thebest chance of growing up successfully. There is no doubt that he right playmaterials and opportunities are of the utmost importance.
The next stage,from three to five years old, is the heyday for toys, and at this stagecuriosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made availableto the child; bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; are concerned andserious when they play, for to them play is a serious business, and through itthey are learning about the world and growing up.
By the thirdstage of play development—from five to seven or eight year—the child is atschool. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, athome or at school. The right toy at this stage can sometimes lead to the choiceof a career.
Until the age ofseven or eight, play and work mean much the same thing to a child. But oncereading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source oflearning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, but their significance haschanged—to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults,relaxation and fun.

Passage Three
Questions 11-15 arebased on the following passage.
The more timescientists spend designing computers the more they marvel at the human brain,Tasks that baffle (难住) the most advanced supercomputer—recognizing a face, reading ahandwritten note—are child’s play for the 3-pound organ. Most important, unlikeany conventional computer, the brain can learn from its mistakes. Researchershave tried for years to program computers to imitate the brain’s abilities, butwithout success. Now a growing number of designers believe they have theanswer: if a computer is to function more like a person and less like anover-grown calculator it must be built more like a brain, which distributesinformation across a vast interconnected web of nerve cells, or neurons.
Conventionalcomputers function by following a chainlike sequence of detailed instructions.Although very fast, their processors can perform only once task at a time. Thisapproach works best in solving problems that can be broken down into simplerlogical pieces. The processors in a neural-network computer, by contrast, forma network much like the nerve cells in the brain. Since these artificialneurons are interconnected, they can share information and perform tasks at thesame time. This two-dimensional approach works best at recognizing patterns.
Instead ofprogramming a neural-network computer to make decisions, its maker trains it torecognize patterns in any solution to problem by repeatedly feeding examples tothe machine.
Neural networkscome in all shapes and sizes. Until now most existed as software simulations(模拟品) because redesigningcomputer chips took a lot of time and money. By experimenting with differentapproaches through software rather than hardware, scientists have been able toavoid costly mistakes.
11. It can be inferred from the firstparagraph that the most advanced supercomputer ______.
A) canrecognize a face and read a handwritten note
B) can learnfrom its mistakes
C) weights only3 pounds
D) cannot distributeinformation across an interconnected web nerve cells
12. What is NOT true of a conventionalcomputer?
A) It must beprogrammed before it works.
B) It can onlysolve one problem at a time.
C) It is goodat solving one problem at a time.
D) It is trainedto recognize patterns instead of making decisions.
13. The main feature of a neural-networkcomputer is that ______.
A) itsprocessors act as an interconnected web of neurons
B) it isprogrammed to make decisions
C) its networksare of all shapes and sizes
D) its neuronsare artificial
14. The expression “this two-dimensionalapproach” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A) theconventional computer and the neural computer
B) makingdecisions and recognizing patterns
C) sharinginformation and performing tasks
D) the computerand the human brain
15. Scientists use software rather thanhardware in their experiments because ______.
A) it can avoidredesigning computer chips
B) it can savea lot of time and money
C) it can avoidmaking mistakes
D) it is morelike the human brain
【答案与解析】
11.D 由第一段第一句得知，即使最先进的计算机也不能像人类的大脑一样识别面孔、理解知识，可排除A和B。而本段的最后一句表明，如果计算机像人类大脑那样工作的话，必须要设计成人类大脑的构造模样。而 “ is to” 表明这个愿望目前还未能实现。
12.D 由文中倒数第二段可知，神经系统网络计算机可以做出某种决定，而传统的计算机只能通过反复的演练才能懂得如何采取解决措施。
13.A 由文中第二段“The processors in a neural-network computer, by contrast, form anetwork much like the nerve cells in the brain ”可知，神经网络计算机的不同正是由于处理器里有像人类大脑神经细胞一样的设置，而其他功能的不同也是由此引起的。所以最佳选项为A。
14.C 此类题目一般应在上文或上句中找相关内容，据此，答案正是指上句中提到的“share information and perform tasks”。
15.B 文中最后一段指出，传统的硬件价钱高、花费时间多，因此科学家们可喜欢运用软件，以避免浪费。
Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 arebased on the following passage.
In a familywhere the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where manyhousehold tasks are shared to a grater or lesser extent, notions of makesuperiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks andindecision makes for equality and this in turn to further sharing. In such ahome, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than didtheir parents more fully for participation in a world characterized bycooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes”.
If the processgoes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important-and that has happenedin some cases-we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.
It is time toreassess the role of the main in the American family. We are getting a littletired of “Momism”—but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What weneed, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves apartnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists,social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of thepart men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all thecredit—nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a women’s place is inthe home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and toinsist that the does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to thehealthy development of the child.
The family is aco-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, becauseeach family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.
Excessiveauthoritarianism (命令主义) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, andthe ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent (相关的，切题的) not only to a healthydemocracy, but also to a healthy family.
16. The ideal of equal rights and equalresponsibilities is ______.
A) fundamentalto a sound democracy
B) notpertinent to healthy family life
C) responsiblefor Monism
D) what we havealmost given up

A) the role ofthe father may become an inferior one
B) the role ofthe mother may become an inferior one
C) the childrenwill grow up believing that life is a battle of sexes
D) sharingleads to constant arguing
18. The author states that bringing upchildren ______.
A) is mainlythe mother’s job
B) belongsamong the duties of the father
C) is the jobof schools and churches
D) involves apartnership of equals
19. According to the author, the father’srole in the home is ______.
A) minorbecause he is an ineffectual parent
B) irrelevantto the healthy development of the child
C) pertinent tothe healthy development of the child
D) identical tothe role of the child’s mother
20. With which of the following statementswould the author be most likely to agree?
A) A healthy,co-operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.
B) Men arebasically opposed to sharing household chores.
C) Division ofhousehold responsibilities is workable only in theory.
D) A woman’splace in the home- now as always.
【答案与解析】
16.A 由文中第一段最后一句可知，平等分工有助于维持夫妻的平等关系，并且能提高分工效率，对子女以后容入社会有好处，因此是健全民主的基础。
17.A 文中第二段第一句“If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as lessimportant”，如果母亲是处理家庭事务的主力，并且这种模式的家庭分工持续时间很长，男性的角色就会受到忽略。因此答案为A。
18.D 由文中第三段第三句“What we need，rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves apartnership of equals”可知，抚养孩子是夫妻双方共同的义务。
19.C 由文章第三段最后一句“Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of thechild”，表示父亲对孩子的成长不是毫无关系，双重否定表示肯定，即父亲对孩子的健康成长有很大影响。
20.A 由文章最后一段后半句话“the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities ispertinent not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family”，可知作者的态度，即平等的权利和相同的责任与家庭的健康及民主息息相关。

A foreigner’sfirst impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-oftenunder pressure. 81) City people appear always to be hurrying to get wherethey are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store. and elbowing others asthey try to complete their errands(任务). Racing through daytime meals is partof the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious.Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they toocan be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurriesto make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you. Youalso find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past. 82) Youwill miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers.Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and theyresent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point. The view oftime affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system tovalues, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called“a short fuse.” 83) We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time isslipping away without some return, be this in terms of pleasure, work value, orrest.

They may miss leisurely business chats ina café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in suchrelaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks.

Harmfulness of Fake Commodities
Nowadays we are not unfamiliarwith the news of fake commodities, or the harmful consequence they have broughtto our life. It is dangerous for us to ignore it, for it may cause a fatalcrisis to our society.
Why did thisphenomenon come into being within recent decades? As far as I am concerned, itshall be rooted in the corruption of modern people’s moral values. Since thevirus of money worship infects a large group in the society, people become dullabout the basic moral standard they are supposed to follow. To produce fakecommodities could be economical for the companies and surely it will bring themlarger profit. Therefore, they choose to do such a bad business.
We all areinformed of the scandal of the dairy industry in 2008. We saw the poor babieswho were poisoned by the milk they drank and the big loss in those families.Fake commodities firstly will harm the customers’ health. Secondly, it willdefinitely bring troubles to the economic market. Lastly, it will seriously rotthe society’s moral system.
None of usneeds a society where we buy nothing but fake commodities. It is of greatimportance to ban these illegal doings and create a safe market for all of us.
