He said that he hopes to eliminate the 8.25 percent tax in a year or two.The mayor also said that he would he would make the case for another week of tax-free shopping for clothes and shoes before Dec. 1, possibly right before students return to school.Giuliani encouraged shoppers t o do their part in making the tax exemption permanent. “I need you to shop till they drop the tax,” Giuliani told the dozens who cheered him at the mail.

But while this is generally true, a surprising upstart（Nokia Corp.）in a relatively remote part of the world（Finland）, is at the forefront of today's emerging globalcommunication network.. Ironically, conditions in Finland actually provide a unique catalyst（催化剂）for the Nokia success story. Many parts of the Finnish landscapes are heavily forested, and vast regions of the country are sparsely populated. Creating, maintaining, and updating wired landbasedcommunication networks is difficult and extremely expensive. But wireless digital systems are a relative bargain. As a result, conditions were perfect for an astute （机敏的），forward-looking company like Nokia to strike gold.Nokia was formed in 1865 by Fredrik Ides tam, a Finnish engineer. The company's early success is quite consistent（—致的）with the theory of comparative advantage. Ides tarn's young company set up shop on the Nokia River in Finland to manufacture pulp and paper, using the area's lush forests as raw material. Nokia flourished in anonymity（无名）for about a century, focusing exclusively on its domestic market.In the 1960s, however, management decided to expand regionally. In 1967, with the government's encouragement, Nokia took over two state-owned firms, Finnish Rubber Works and Finnish Cable works. But it was in 1981 that an important event dramatically altered Nokia's destiny: Because it had done so well with the Rubber and Cable operations, the Finnish government offered to sell Nokia 51-percent ownership of the state-owned Finnish Telecommunication Co.Because Nokia had already been developing competences in digital technologies, the firm seized the opportunity and started pushing aggressively into a variety of telecommunications business. For example, Nokia created Europe's first digital telephone in 1982. A series of other acquisitions（收购）and partnerships subsequently propelled Nokia into the number -one position in the global market share for mobile telephones. Today, the firm commands a 27-percent market share in cellular telephones, comfortably ahead of second-place Motorola's 17 percent.But Nokia hasn't been content to rest on is success. To the contrary, the company continues to expand into new and emerging markets. Foremost among these is technology for providing cellular phones with reliable and affordable Web content. Nokia was first out of the gate in this area and quickly established its ow innovation, WAP （an acronym for wireless application protocol）, as the likely standard that other firms will have little choice but to license for their own use.71.Whafs the passage mainly about?［单项选择题］*Who established Nokia.B.Finland, Nokia's head quarters.C.Introduction to Nokia.（正确答案）D.Nokia and Finland Cable Works.72.All of the following explain the success of Nokia except ____ .［单项选择题］*A.VAST AREAS OF Finland are not densely populated.B.many parts of Finnish landscape are covered with forests.C.Finland is one of the industrialized countries in the world.正确答案）D.it is difficult and expensive to use wired land-based communication networks in Finland.73.Which of the following is NOT true of Nokia?［单项选择题］*A.Nokia used to manufacture pulp and paper.B.Nokia was named after Nokia River.；正确答案）C.Nokia centered on domestic business in the first hundred years.D.It was in the 1980s that Nokia began to do telecommunication business.74.A series of other acquisitions and partnerships subsequently propelled Nokia into the Number-one position in the global market for mobile telephones. The underlined world in the sentence by be replaced by ________ .［单项选择题］*A.drovel正确答案）B.preventedC.turnedD.built75.What can not be learned from the passage?［单项选择题］*A.Nokia started as a privately-owned company.B.Europe's first digital telephone network was created by Nokia.C.Nokia was the first to provide cellular phones with reliable and affordable Web content.D.Motorola will soon catch up with Nokia in the market share in cellular phones. 王确答案）（D）The two partners of Smith and Jones, a medium-sized women's specialty store in Brookline Oregon（pop. 250,000）, were having their annual after-Christmas heart-to-heart talk about the direction of their store. They had just completed best year ever. The bank balance was high, and the two men were looking forwardoptimistically to more prosperous years.Bill Jones said to his partner, Phil Smith, "We seem to be doing everything right. Our customers have been loyal to us these past 15 years, there is no competition around that can touch us, we have the best location in the area, and the best reputation. I think we can look forward to another year of the same formula--- hard work, careful planning, intelligent merchandising, and good employee practices. We've got a real winner." Smith was less optimistic. "You know, Bill, the population of Brookline is growing. I just heard a big high-tech firm is planning to open a plant near here, and that good processor in Eugene is planning to consolidate （加强）operations here. That's going to bring a lot more people to this area, and I wouldn't be surprised if before long some shopping-centre developer discovers our area. We've had it pretty easy all these years, and I hate to see us get too complacent（自满的）and then have to give business away to a competitor. Our customers are getting older, and we're not doing anything much to attract younger people. Our customer profile is between 36 and 51.1 suggest we give some serious thought to attracting younger women, so we'll be prepared when the completion comes. ” Jones said, “ Why play with a successful formula? Our Misses departments Produce 60 % of profits. If we try to expand our junior business, we'll get killed. We don't understand that business, and if we start in with loud music and gaudy displays, we'll drive our loyal customers away.”“Bill, don't be an ostrich（回避现实的人）.We could easily take part of the store and wall it off, maybe even break through a separate entrance. Those old ladies won't even knowthere's anything else going on. If we don't, I guarantee you that our population will age as the market is increasing, and we5ll lose out." 76- What's the passage mainly talking about?［单项选择题］*A.Two partners.B.A medium-sized women's specialty store.C.Two partner's ideas of their future business.三确答案）D.Looking forward optimistically to the future.77.
