Passage One
In recent years, Israeli consumers have grown more demanding as they’ve become wealthier and more worldly-wise. Foreign travel is a national passion；this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad. Exposed to higher standards of service elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same. American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers. Chains such as KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut are se tting a new standard of customer service, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff. Even the American habit of telling departing customers to “Have a nice day” has caught on all over Israel. “Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, Let’s be nicer,” says Itsik Cohen, director of a consulting firm. “Nothing happens without competition.”
Privatization, or the threat of it，is a motivation as well. Monopolies（垄断者）that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a marketing professor, calls“the revengeful（报复的）consumer”. When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even wh ile offering competitive rates. Says Perry,“People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service.” The electric company, whose monopoly may b e short-lived, has suddenly stopped requiring users to wait half a day for a repairman. Now, appointments are scheduled to the half-hour. The graceless El Al Airlines, which is already at auction (拍卖), has retrained its employees to emphasize service and is boasting about the results in an ad campaign with the slogan, “You can feel the change in the air.” For the fir st time, praise outnumbers complaints on customer survey sheets.
1. It may be inferred from the passage that .
A. customer service in Israel is now improving
B. wealthy Israeli customers are hard to please
C. the tourist industry has brought chain stores to Israel
D. Israeli customers prefer foreign products to domestic ones
2. In the author’s view，higher service standards are impossible in Israel .
A. if customer complaints go unnoticed by the management
B. unless foreign companies are introduced in greater numbers
C. if there’s no competition among companies
D. without strict routine training of employees
3. If someone in Israel today needs a repairman in case of a power failure, .
A. they can have it fixed in no time
B. it’s no longer necessary to make an appointment
C. the appointment takes only half a day to make
D. they only have to wait half an hour at most
4. The example of El Al Airlines shows that .
A. revengeful customers are a threat to the monopoly of enterprises
B. an ad campaign is a way out for enterprises in financial difficulty
C. a good slogan has great potential for improving service
D. staff retraining is essential for better service
5. Why did Bezaq’s international branch lose 40% of its market share？
A. Because the rates it offered were not competitive enough.
B. Because customers were dissatisfied with its past service.
C. Because the service offered by its competitors was far better.
D. Because it no longer received any support from the government.
Passage Two
We can see how the 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”coffee and it took several years to gain general acceptance（introduction stage）. At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity and many brands were introduced（stage of rapid growth）. After a while people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off（stage of maturity）. Sales went into a slight decline（衰退）when freeze-dried coffees were introduced（stage of decline）.
The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for
new users and market sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military？
Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may reposition the product to appeal to new market sections.
Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.
6. According to the passage，when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product，its sales will .
A. decrease gradually
B. improve enormously
C. become unstable
D. remain at the same level
7. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is .
A. usually introduced to satisfy different tastes
B. often inferior to old ones at first
C. often more expensive than old ones
D. not easily accepted by the public
8. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to .
A. work out marketing policies
B. promote its production
C. increase its popularity
D. speed up its life cycle
9. The author mentions the example of “backpacks”（Line 4，Para.2 ）to show the importance of .
A. increasing usage among students
B. exploring new market sections
C. pleasing the young as well as the old
D. serving both military and civil needs
10. In order to recover their share of the world market, U.S. auto makers are .
A. improving product quality C. repositioning their product in the market
B. modernizing product style D. increasing product features
参考答案
Passage One
［短文大意］这是一篇说明文，主要介绍以色列服务质量提高的原因。文章第一段介绍了服务质量之所以能够得到提高是因为当今的消费者更为富有和挑剔，同时还因为竞争机制的存在。第二段主要介绍了以色列服务质量提高的另一个重要原因：一些私营业主或垄断企业由于害怕消费者的“报复”而改善服务质量。
［题目解释］
1. A. 归纳推断题。首先，从原文第一段第三句“Exposed to higher standards of service elsewhere，Israelis are returning home expecting the same”可知：由于在国外享受到了更高质量的服务，以色列人回到国内后也要求同样质量的服务。其次，从第一段所举的已落脚以色列的肯德基、麦当劳等国外连锁店优质服务也给以色列的服务行业带来了竞争和压力。基于这两方面的原因，可以推断出：以色列的服务质量正在提高。因此，正确答案是A选项，而其他选项均与原文表述不符。
2. C. 细节题。可套用公式正确答案≈原文中含有题干关键词的一句话—题干关键词。根据对原文第一段主要意思的把握和对第26题的分析可知：题干关键词“higher service standards are impossible”等同于原文第一段最后一句“Nothing happens without competition”中的“Nothing happens”。因此，去掉该词后所剩部分“without competition”就是答案所在，据此可找到答案选项中与它同义的表达C选项。从原文无法推出其他三个选项所表达的含义。
3. D. 细节题。可套用公式正确答案≈原文中含有题干关键词的一句话—题干关键词。根据题干关键词“a repairman in case of a power failure”可迅速找到它在原文中的出处——第二段第五句。题干中的“a power failure”（停电）对应的是原句中的“The electric company”。但是，该句本身只是概括地介绍了现在不需要使用者等待半天的时间，并没有说明现在究竟要等多长时间。真正的答案出现在第六句“Now，appointments are scheduled to the half-hour”。因此，正确答案是D选项。
4. A. 细节题中的例子说明题型。可套用公式正确答案≈具体事例前的概述语。El Al Airlines 的例子和前面的Bezaq电话公司、电力公司例子一样都是用来说明第二段的主要内容：第二段第二句“Monopolies（垄断者）that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry，a marketing professor，calls‘the revengeful（报复的）consumer.’”的具体事例。因此，正确答案是A选项。
5. B. 细节题。可套用公式正确答案≈原文中含有题干关键词的一句话—题干关键词。根据题干关键词“Bezaq’s international branch lose 40% of its market share”可迅速找到它在原文中的出处——原文第二段第三句。正确答案在紧随其后的第四句“People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service”中。据此可在答案选项中寻找相似的表达。因此，正确答案是B 选项。
Passage Two
［短文大意］本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了产品生命周期的四个阶段以及销售者应当采取的可以延长产品销售周期的策略。文章第一段以速溶咖啡的销售为例介绍了一个产品的销售周期通常经历的四个阶段：推出期、增长期、成熟期和衰退期。第二、第三段介绍了为了延长产品的销售周期，销售者采取的市场调节措施；第四段介绍了销售者采取的产品调节措施。
［题目解释］
6. D. 细节题。可套用公式正确答案≈原文中含有题干关键词的一句话-题干关键词。根据题干关键词“people grow fond of one particular brand of a product”可以迅速找到本题在原文中的出处——第一段倒数第二句。该句去掉和题干关键词同义的“people became attached to one brand”后所剩的“sales leveled off”就是答案。本题的关键就是要清楚“level off”是“稳定”的意思。因此，正确答案应是D选项。如果不知道“level off”的意思，也可以通过上下文来猜测。根据原文该句后面所跟的括号中“stage of maturity”（成熟期），并结合前后的两个阶段分别是迅速增长期和衰退期，可以判断第三个阶段应当是平稳期。
7. D. 推断题。第一段以速溶咖啡的销售为例介绍了推出一个新产品通常要经历的四个销售阶段：推出期、增长期、成熟期和衰退期。答案选项中和该段意思相符的是D选项，它指的是在推出期，一个新产品通常并不容易为大家接受。原文中的依据是第一段第二句。
8. A. 细节题。可套用公式正确答案≈原文中含有题干关键词的一句话—题干关键词。首先根据题干关键词“Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in”找到本题在
原文中的出处——第二段第一句。然后去掉该句中和原文同义的部分。这时，该句所剩的“Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies”就是答案所在。这就是销售者需要了解这四个阶段的意义：要相应地调整市场策略。据此可以判断A选项是正确答案。
9. B. 细节题中的例子说明题。可套用公式正确答案≈例子前的一句概述的话。根据题干中给出的位置提示可以轻松地找到本题在原文中的出处——第二段最后一句。这是事例本身。它之前的概述“It means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections”就是这个例子要说明的问题。据此可以判断B选项是正确答案。作者举现在年轻人用的背包最初来自军用背包的这个例子来说明销售者要不断寻找新的消费者、开拓新的消费市场的重要性。
10. A. 细节题。可套用公式正确答案≈原文中含有题干关键词的一句话—题干关键词。根据很有提示意义的题干关键词“U.S. auto makers”可以迅速找到本题在原文中的出处——最后一段的倒数第二句。该句去掉和题干重复的部分后所剩的“using quality improvement”就是答案所在。据此很容易找到正确答案A选项。在做这道题的时候要特别注意同义替换的现象。题干中用makers替换了原文中的manufacturers；用recover their share of the world market 替换了recapture world markets；正确答案用动宾结构替换了原文的名词词组。

The payroll register constitutes the treasurer department's authority to pay the employees. Payment is usually made in the form of a check drawn on the company's regular bank account. Pre-numbered payroll checks should be used, and there should be independent verification of the agreement of the checks with the payroll register in detail and in total. Payroll checks should be distributed directly to employees, on proper identification, by treasurer's department personnel. The checks should not be returned to payroll for distribution since the payroll department would then have control over both preparing and paying the payroll. Alternatively, payroll checks may be deposited directly in the employee's checking account. Payment of employees in cash is the exception rather than the rule. This form of payment is more easily influenced by errors, irregularities, and robbery than payment by check. Following payment, check numbers are entered on the register, the preparation and payment of the payroll are programmed on a computer. A termination notice should be issued by the personnel department on the completion of an individual's employment with the company. Copies of the termination authorization should be sent to the employee's supervisor and to payroll, and a copy should be filed in the employee's personnel record. The proper execution of this function is vital in preventing terminated employees from continuing on the payroll. The subsequent diversion of such payroll checks to an unauthorized individual has been responsible for many payroll cheat through the years. Every company is expected to fulfill the legal requirements relevant to the filing of payroll tax returns and the payment of the resulting taxes. Ordinarily, the payroll department prepares the tax returns and a check is issued through the guarantor system in payment of the taxes. The responsibility for the filing of returns before due dates should be assigned to a payroll department supervisor. Furthermore, there should be independent verification within that department of the accuracy and completeness of the return. Effective control over tax returns is necessary to avoid penalties for late or incorrect filings.

同等学力阅读理解模拟测试题 Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 25 points) Section A Directions: In this section，there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B．C and D．Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet． Passage One You may have wondered why the supermarkets are all the same. It is not because the companies that run them lack imagination. It is because they all aim at persuading people to buy things. In the supermarket, it takes a while for the mind to get into a shopping mode. This is why the area immediately inside the entrance is known as the “decompression zone”. People need to slow down and look around, even if they are regulars. In sales terms this area is a bit of a loss, so it tends to be used more for promotion. Immediately inside the first thing shoppers may come to is the fresh fruit and vegetables section. For shoppers, this makes no sense. Fruit and Vegetables can be easily damaged, so they should be bought at the end, not the beginning, of a shopping trip. But what is at work here? It turns out that selecting good fresh food is a way to start shopping, and it makes people feel less guilty about reaching for the unhealthy stuff later on. Shoppers already know that everyday items, like milk, are invariably placed toward the back of a store to provide more opportunities to tempt customers. But supermarkets know shoppers know this, so they use other tricks, like placing popular items halfway along a section so that people have to walk all along the aisle looking for them. The idea is to boost “dwell time”: the length of time people spend in a store. Traditionally retailers measure “footfall”, as the number of people entering a store is known, but those numbers say nothing about where people go and how long they spend there. But nowadays, a piece of technology can fill the gap: the mobile phone. Path Intelligence, a British company tracked people’s phones at Gunwharf Quays, a large retail centre in Portsmouth- not by monitoring calls, but by plotting the positions of handsets as they transmit automatically to cellular networks. It found that when dwell time rose 1% sales rose 1.3%. Such techniques are increasingly popular because of a deepening understanding about how shoppers make choices. People tell market researchers that they make rational decisions about what to buy, considering things like price, selection or convenience. But subconscious forces, involving emotion and memories, are clearly also at work. 21. In Paragraph 2, “decompression zone” is the area meant to _____. A. offer shoppers a place to have a rest B. prepare shoppers for the mood of buying C. encourage shoppers to try new products D. provide shoppers with discount information 22. Putting fruit-and-vegetable section near the entrance takes advantage of shoppers’_____
阅读知识点 四大明显设题原则 一、语言简化 语言简化是命题专家设置题干与四个选项时所必须遵守的一条重要原则。一般来说，一道题的四个选项不仅长度差不多，用词水平和语法难度也都差不多。此外，答案的文字难度一般低于文章本身，这也是对考生非常有利的一点，有时候甚至还可以通过选项中的答案来帮助理解原文。这是一个普遍的原则，现举例如下： 【例1】 Still, Jefferson freed Hemings’s children — though not Hemings herself or his approximately 150 other slaves. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black solders during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. Only a decade earlier, such an act would have required legislative approval in Virginia.40. Washington’s decision to free slaves originated from his [A] moral considerations. [B] military experience. [C] financial conditions. [D] political stand. 【解析】文中最后一段的“Washington, ...observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, ...grant his slaves their freedom in his will”明确指出华盛顿给奴隶自由的原因是他们在战争中的勇敢行为，[B]“军事经历”是对其高度地概括。 二、关键词替换 关键词替换是命题专家使用频率最高的原则。命题专家设置题目以及正确选项时一般都会用同义词或者近义词替代原文某个关键词。命题者有时候还会以和原文意思相同但是遣词造句不同的方式来设计正确答案，即用不同的话把原文的某个句子复述一遍，而错误答案反而往往看上去会与原文差不多，这个时候考生需要仔细阅读加以区别。 【例2】 Genetically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height. During childbirth, larger babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal. Moreover, even though humans have been upright for millions of years, our feet and back continue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily withstand repeated strain imposed by oversize limbs. “There are some real cons traints that are set by the genetic architecture of the individual organism,” says anthropologist William 33. On which of the following statements would the author most probably agree? [A] Non-Americans add to the average height of the nation. [B] Human height is conditioned by the upright posture. [C] Americans are the tallest on average in the world. [D] Larger babies tend to become taller in

（英语）中考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、英语阅读（日常生活类） 1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。 If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" （代）of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive. On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks. About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data（数据） faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well. For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag（延迟）. When the car "sees" an obstacle（障碍物）, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer. 5G could also be used to power the internet of things （IoT）, that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically （自动地） place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside. （1）Which city was 5G tested for the first time? A. Beijing. B. Shanghai. C. Shenzhen. （2）What can we infer（推测） according to the passage?. A. 5G is widely used in China now. B. 5G networks will make our lives more convenient. C. There are no symbols at the top of our phones. （3）The writer uses self-driving cars as an example to . A. explain how 5G's fast speed can be helpful B. warn about the possible dangers of self-driving cars C. explain how self-driving cars work （4）What is IoT according to the passage? A. A robot that can do housework. B. An online store where you can buy anything. C. A large online network that connects things and people. （5）Which sentence is right according to the passage? A. 5G will help us buy eggs quickly. B. Robots can help us buy eggs online. C. Our refrigerator can order eggs online for us. 【答案】（1）B
Passage 1 Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction.Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work.Today's corporation hire human engineering specialists and spend a considerable amount of time and money to make sure that the physical environments of buildings are fit to the activities of their inhabitants. Similarly, college classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.We are already in the twenty-first century，but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years.Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates.This assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious：Everything of importance comes from the teacher. With a little imagination and effort，unless desks are fixed to the floor，the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students.In small or standardized classes，chairs，desks，and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways：circles，U-shapes，or semicircles.The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone https://www.doczj.com/doc/e52163542.html,rger classes，particular those held in lecture halls，unfortunately，allow much less flexibility. Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises.Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem.Even in large lecture halls，it is possible for students to turn around and form group of four to six.Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other，think out loud，and see how other students’ thinking processes operat e--all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking. In courses that regularly use a small group format，students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course.A colleague of mine allows students to move around during the first two weeks，until they find a group they are comfortable with.He then asks them to stay in the same seat，with the same group，from that time on.This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students’ names and faces. 1.
