　　Passage 1

　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

　　The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion.They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak.What you produce is for sale on the market.It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.

　　In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions.In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting ( 報(bào)價(jià) ), what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we ean make use of in doing this sort of work.The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations.

　　Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.

　　Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information.The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities.Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.

Passage 2

　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

　　What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic,such as health and education facilities.

　　We may think of all of these as our needs.Yet most of us would be far from satisfiedif we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books,sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays.So we must add our wants to our basic needs.Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.

　　But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in manycountries now, Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter.Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.

　　Passage 3

　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

　　To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.It's a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes( as long as you're not held up at the airport) ,but it's an expensive way to travel.You can travel by hovercraft if you don't mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise you can go by boat, if you forget your sea-sickness ills. All these means of transport have their problems and the weary(不耐煩的) traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car." Not possible", you say, Well, wait a minute.People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.

　　This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide ar all link only.

　　Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC(歐供體) ? Well, perhaps.The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London's disused dockland(船塢地) .A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize (使…重新有活力 ) the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With alink over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England, and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm!

Passage 4

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

　　Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate.While this law is not without humor by today's standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by.

　　In today's society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit.Why do people try to take their own lives?

　　The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath (暴怒) , the needfor attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict(描寫) the typical victim.To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage (掩蓋) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.

　　In theUnited States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.People who are bitter, worded, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers.These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion.The accomplishments of these centers, insofar(到這個(gè)程度) as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems.So, in the somewhat amorphous(難以名狀的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.

　　36.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

　　A.The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicide

　　B.Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world

　　C.In today's society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide

　　26.【解析】A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段作者舉的例子，基本需求的概念是可以改變的，20年前電視是一種奢侈品，但現(xiàn)在也已經(jīng)成為了一種生活必需品。可見，在作者看來(lái)，有兩種生活需求，一種是生活必需品，另一種就是奢侈品。所以選A。

　　27.【解析】A。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段的第三句，要想持久地得到生活必需品，必須有一份可靠的收入。

　　30.【解析】A。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二句，如果全國(guó)大多數(shù)人都擁有電視的話，那么電視可視作一種必需品 所以選A。

　　Passage 3

　　31.【解析】C。推理判斷題?？捎门懦ǎ洪_篇第一句已清楚地說明游過英吉利海峽至少要九小時(shí)，所以A說少于四小時(shí)是不對(duì)的;第一段最后一句中有一個(gè)非常重要的詞，就是again。既然是again就說明建隧道、修大橋已不是新想法了，B也隨之被淘汰;根據(jù)文章第二段第一句，隧道可直達(dá)倫敦，不只到海岸線，D也排除了。而cC是正確的，游過去當(dāng)然要比坐船、乘飛機(jī)困難多了。

　　32.【解析】A。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句，建隧道要比建大橋便宜得多。

　　33.【解析】B。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句，隧道里只能供火車行走。

　　Passage 4

　　36.【解析】C。主題思想題。文章的大意是說在目前出現(xiàn)的自殺想象，引起自殺的原因以及提出解決的方法。很明顯在把握文章大意的同時(shí)就知道C是正確的。

　　37.【解析】A。A的意思是荒唐的。第2段的第一句話說明了自殺的相關(guān)原因和動(dòng)機(jī)，A文章里面沒有涉及。

　　38【解析】D。A在第一段的中間提到了，B自殺的動(dòng)機(jī)是很明顯的，并且作者列舉了幾個(gè)。C中的ancient times是說在古時(shí)候就有了，也不是正確地反映作者的表達(dá)。

　　39.【解析】B。A是相關(guān)的意思，C是嚴(yán)重的意思，D是有效果的，有影響的。B的意思是好的慈善的意思。

　　40.【解析】C。細(xì)節(jié)題。C的含義是說人們?cè)谂Φ貛椭切┫胱詺⒌娜?，在某種程度上他們已經(jīng)取得了一定的勝利。文章的最后一句就是這個(gè)意思?

　　Part III

　　41.【解析】B。at the turn of the century“在世紀(jì)之交”，固定搭配。

　　42.【解析】C。本句意為沒有人知道爵士樂是什么時(shí)候發(fā)明的，由誰(shuí)發(fā)明的。invent“發(fā)明(沒有的事物)”;discover“發(fā)現(xiàn)(已經(jīng)存在的事物)”，act“行動(dòng)，扮演”;design“設(shè)計(jì)”。

　　43.【解析】C。正如下文所提到的，爵士樂是與classical music(古典音樂)相對(duì)的。爵士樂(jazz)是一種自由輕松的音樂形式，因此應(yīng)是流行音樂(popular music)的一種。

　　44.【解析】B。本句意為古典音樂遵循正規(guī)的歐洲傳統(tǒng)。follow“遵循”;form“形成”;approach“接近，靠近”：introduce“引進(jìn)，介紹”。

　　45.【解析】A。express“表達(dá)”，音樂是用來(lái)表達(dá)和抒發(fā)人的mood(情緒)，interest(興趣)以及emotions(感情)的。

　　46.【解析】B。上半句說20世紀(jì)20年代的爵士樂聽起來(lái)有美國(guó)風(fēng)格，下半句說今天的爵士樂也是如此。“so+主語(yǔ)+助動(dòng)詞”意思是“…確實(shí)如此”。

　　49.【解析】D。demonstrate“說明，示威”;compose(of)“組成”;host“當(dāng)主人招待”;form與procession搭配，意思為“一個(gè)黑奴死后，他的親戚朋友組成一支送葬隊(duì)送他”。
