Section C
Directions: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the word or words you have heard.
Many nations have ports where ships from other countries can unload goods for trade, storage, processing, or to another ship. Merchants who send their goods to the port of a foreign country usually pay a , or tax, on their goods as soon as they are unloaded from the ship. However, some countries have free ports, and others, like the United States and China, have foreign trade zones. A free port may be an entire port city where foreign merchants may unload their goods without paying a tariff. In most instances it is of a port. As long as the goods remain in the free-port area, or foreign-trade zone, they cannot be taxed.
Nations have tariffs to protect their own merchants and manufacturers from .
If a foreign merchant must pay a tax on his goods, he must charge more for them. In this way a country encourages its people to buy less expensive goods made at home, instead of more expensive . However, it is important for every modern nation to engage in foreign trade. A country sets up a free port to encourage foreign merchants to trade, and to increase its own trade.

Passage 1 Claims and Adjustments
No matter how efficient a business firm tries to be, mistakes will happen. A customer may receive the wrong merchandise, slow service, invoices or statements that contain errors, or even discourteous treatment at the hands of employees. Letters in which complaints are expressed - that is, letters in which customers make a claim against the company - are called claim letters.
The company for which you work undoubtedly will receive some claim letters; in turn, the company will have occasion to write claim letters to those from whom it buys. As a consumer you will also have many opportunities to write such letters.
People writing claim letters are interested in one thing: satisfaction. If the merchandise is faulty, they want it replaced at no cost or inconvenience to themselves. If the service is poor, they want an apology and assurance that service will improve; they may even want some compensation
for the inconvenience caused them. If an error has been made, they want it corrected.
To get satisfaction, claimants must present their causes carefully and thoughtfully to the people who they feel are at fault. Suppose you ordered a gold identification bracelet (有识别标志的金手镯) from a mail order house, specifying that the bracelet be engraved with your name. When the bracelet arrives, you are disappointed to find that silver bracelet was sent. You become quite upset and a little angry. “How could they make such a stupid mistake?”
How would you begin your letter? In the first place, you should not write the letter while you are angry. Cool off first. You can do a much more convincing job when you are calm and can see the situation in a reasonable light. The mistake was not intentional, mistakes are never.
In writing answers to claim letters, you are on the other side of the fence. Your customers wish to present a claim, and they write to you. They may be dissatisfied with your merchandise, your service or your general efficiency. You will respond to their claim with an adjustment letter.
A good company welcomes customer comments because they create opportunities to identify and remedy faulty products or poor services that may exist. It is your job to see that customers receive fair treatment - fair to them, of course, but also fair to your firm. Since adjustment letters sell satisfaction too, they are really sales letters.
Most firms have established broad policies for making adjustment. Some are very generous and practice the motto “The customer is always right.” Others are not so eager to please customers, especially if the customer is wrong. Even in the most generous organizations, there will be numerous occasions when claims cannot be granted. Regardless of the fact that established policies exist for most adjustment situations, there will always be exceptions. For example, an old customer who has dealt with a firm faithfully over the years is likely to receive a little more consideration than a new customer who is merely shopping around for the best buy. Many factors enter into the decision as to whether or not an adjustment will be granted. Often there is simply no policy to cover an adjustment situation, so letter writers must weigh all the evidence and then do what they think is fairest to their customers and to their employer. However, the writer must have or must get authority for any adjustment that is out of the ordinary.
When writing adjustment letters, under all circumstances be patient, tactful and diplomatic. Always be sure to observe these four principles:
1. Reply promptly.
2. Show the customer that you understand the problem.
3. Tell the customer exactly what you are going to do about the problem.
4. Avoid negative words and accusations.
( ) 1. People may write claim letters when they .
A. sell wrong merchandise
B. send wrong goods to customers
C. are dissatisfied with the services or goods
D. provide slow service for customers
( ) 2. A company may have an opportunity to write claim letters to those .
A. from whom it buys their goods
B. to whom it sells its products
C. who are its customers
D. who have entered into contracts with it
( ) 3. It is suggested by the writer that a claimant present his case .
A. directly
B. frankly
C. honestly
D. carefully
( ) 4. When should you begin to write a claim letter according to the passage?
A. When you are not nervous.
B. When you have confidence.
C. When you have calmed down.
D. When you feel angry.
( ) 5. According to the passage, customer comments may .
A. bring loss to a company
B. help a company identify faulty products
C. cause troubles to a company
D. make a company suffer enormously
Passage 2
Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life. With the tools of technology he has altered many physical features of the earth. He has transformed woodlands and prairies into farmland, and made lakes and reservoirs out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power. Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.
However, man’s changes to the physical environme nt have not always had beneficial results. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles, smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. The air in
cities is becoming increasingly unhealthy.
The pollution of water is equally harmful. In the sea, pollution from oil is increasing and is killing enormous numbers of algae, fish and birds. The whole ecological balance of the sea is being changed. The same problem exists in rivers. Industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless.
Conservationists believe that it is now necessary for man to limit the growth of technology in order to survive on earth.
( ) 6. Which of the following is not mentioned as the example of how man has altered the physical features of the earth?
A. Transform woodland and prairies into farmland.
B. Make lakes and reservoirs out of rivers.
C. Cut down forests to build houses.
D. Cut through mountains to build roads.
( )7. According to the passage, which of the following is not true?
A. With the tools of technology, man has changed his physical environment.
B. Man has modified the face of the earth in many ways.
C. Man has changed the physical environment in order to improve his way of life.
D. Man’s changes to the physical environment have always had beneficial results. ( )8. It is implied in the passage that _______.
A. the change to the nature resulted in some harmful effect on man himself
B. man has made a lot of money from the change of the physical environment
C. compared with the side effects of the change, the beneficial results are even more
important
D. there is no need for man to worry about the pollution now
( )9. From the passage, we can tell that the author is _______ the future of man.
A. happy for
B. worried about
C. excited for
D. indifferent to
( )10. Which of the following is not given an example of the problem of pollution?

大一英语期末考试试题精选 又到一个学期的期末了，大家复习好大学英语了吗?为大家精心挑选了一份大学英语第一学期期末试卷，供大家复习使用，希望能够帮助到大家! 大学一年级英语试卷 Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheetwith a single line through the center. Passage One Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience. It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, w ho review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”

Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.” In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星） from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time. After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock. Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted? No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings

For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one qf the statements (A to G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Patricia: I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a group of friends from university. I think it worked very well, although a few of them said they'd never do it again—I guess it wasn r t quite like they thought it was going to be~not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but 1 think we had a great time. Next year V 11 see if 1 can perhaps visit fewer places and not get so worn out. Davis: I traveled about 6,000 kilometres in four weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again? Well, f d have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for me as I was the official translator, which was great as V m normally a bit shy of talking to people 1 don't know. On the last night of the holiday they treated me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was terrific! Jenise: Well, I guess I had a good time now when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went well but I think that from now on 1' 11 probably choose to do something else. I want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train service ! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and they were great but it didn* t do much for my French and Gennan. Nigel: I think it's definitely the best way of getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch-hikes and he says that's the only way to travel because it's free and you see more interesting places. But I knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the better deal, especially as 1 could take the night train and save on hotel bills. Hawk: F vc done it quite a few times now and V m used to the kind of problems that arisc—likc having to sleep in a park because the train arrived too late for me to get a hotel bed, and trying to keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do. They1 re usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they don't understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and nod.
