The reader puts questions,as It were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this conversation goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however,we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of thetext continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page;others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticising, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension, which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a process conversation as opposed to a content conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies (策略)we employ in reading. If we are advanced readers our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well deveoped. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.10.Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when .A. the reader's expectations agree with what is said in the textB. the reader has trouble understanding what the author saysC. the reader asks questions and gets answersD. the reader understands a text very well11.At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to _________A. read a text slowlyB. read without thinking hardC. interpret a text in their own wayD. concentrate on the meaning of words only12.A "process" conversation has to do with ________A. the application of reading strategiesB. matching our expectations with the meaning of a textC. the development of our ability to check the detailsD. determining the main idea of a text13. According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between ________ .A. conscious and unconscious levels of comprehensionB. the reader's expectations and the meaning of a textC. lower and higher levels of comprehensionD. interpreting and criticizing a text14.If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should ________A. learn to use different approaches in reading different textsB. make our reading process more consciousC. pay more attention to the content of a textD. take a critical attitude towards the author's ideasQuestions15-19 refer to the following invoice and letter.One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad,and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon---it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too.Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales.They can keep a wide range of records,including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reord or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly.And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock,of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.15.According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to _________ .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB. obtain more convenient services than other people doC. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD. cash money wherever he wishes to16. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that _________ .A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cardsB. crcdit cards are mainly used in the United States todayC. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cashD. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before17.According to the passage, computers can provide advantages and efficiency for all these people except _______ .A. consumersB. manufacturesC. employeesD. businessmen18.The phrase ring up sales" (line 2, para. 2) most probably means ________ .A. make an order of goodsB. record sales on a cash registerC. call the sales managerD. keep track of the goods iii stock19.What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.D. Advantages of credit cards in business.Questions 20-24 refer to the following invoice and letter.In the warm enclosed waters of farm ponds, conditions are very likely to be lethal for fish when insecticides are applied in the neighhourhood. As many examples show, the poison is carried in by rains and runoff from surrounding lands. Sometimes the ponds receive not only contaminated runoff but also a direct dose as crop-dusting pilots neglect to shut off the duster in passing over a pond. Even without such complications, normal agricultural use subjects fish to far heavier concentrations of chemicals than would be required to kill them. In other words, a marked reductionin the poundages used would hardly alter the fatal situation, for applications of over 0.1 pound per acre to the pond itself are generally considered hazardous. And the poison, once introduced, is hard to get rid of. One pond that had been treated with DDT to remove unwanted shiners remained so poisonous through repeated draining and flushings that it killed 94 percent of the sunfish with which it was later stocked. Apparently the chemical remained in the mud of the pond bottom.In some parts of the world the cultivation of fish in ponds provides an indispensable source of food.In such places the use of insecticides without regard for the effects on fish creates immediate problems.In Rhodesia, for example, the young of an important food fish, the Kafue bream, are killed by exposure to only 0.04 parts per million of DDT in shallow pools. Even smaller die, of many other insectiddes would be lethal. The shallow waters in which these fish live are favorable mosquito-breeding places. The problem of controlling mosquitoes and at the same time conserving a fish important in the Central African diet has obviously not been solved satisfactorily.20.The word "lethal" in the first sentence nearly means ________ .A. deadB. importantC. fatalD. vital21.The author's tone in this passage can be best described as _______A. depressedB. indifferentC. questioningD. objective22.According to the passage, which of the following should not be responsible for the presence of insecticidesin ponds?A. the weatherB. human errorC. commoo farming methodsD. conditions of farm ponds23.The author does all of the following in this passage EXCEPT ________A.give examplesB. propose a solutionC. state a problemD. relate causes24.Which of the following tittles best sums up the whole passage?A. The Effects of Insecticides on FishB. The Water of Farm PondsC.The Cultivation of Fish as FoodD. Saving African Food SuppliesQuestions 25-29 refer to the following invoice and letter.Our personal backgrounds have a tremendous influences over our personalities, our attitudes, and our value systems. Certainly no one completely abandons his or her background when entering an interview situation.Backgrounds, called by sociologists cultural factors, create major expectations in the interviewee (client) and the interviewer attorney before and during their exchange.One background influence is social class. If the interviewer and the interviewee come from different socioeconomic backgrounds ( i. e., life-styles that are different because of differences in wealth), the difference in backgrounds could create a communication barrier in an interview. Young lawyers working in poverty law frequently find their clients "laying trips" on them because of perceived differences in wealth.The client's negative preconceptions about wealthy people create a problem for the interviewer.Not only might the client have preconceptions based on social class, but the lawyer too should be conscious of any preconceptions he or she might holdabout the client.Another background influence is education and experience. Tensions on the part of the less educated often restrict their flow of communication with more highly educated people. Unfortunately, less educated people frequently believe difference in schooling experiences makes communication with more highly educated individuals impossible. How many of us have experienced this in our daily lives, particularly in the feeling that there is a problem communicating with a relative who has had no college education? Or how often have you felt uncomfortable talking. with a college dean or professor?Sex and age are potential barrier too. At times, there may be problems in dyadic （两者的）communication just because the dyad is male-male, female-female, female-male, or young-old. If a female client strongly believes that men are always sources of poor treatment, she may view a male attorney as an enemy. And we have long heard about the generation gap. Youth have trouble understanding the elderly, and vice versa.25.According to the passage, a person's life-style .A. enables the lawyer to judge his clientB. reflects his social positionC. bars him from communicating with wealthy peopleD. influences his attitude towards poor client26.It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that .A. different education might make effective communication difficultB. people with more education are unwilling to communicate with the less educatedC. difference in education makes communication impossibleD. less educated people feel reluctant to talk with highly educated ones27.The following are background influences with an exception of .A. sdcial classB. educationC. sex and ageD. working experience28.Who might be the reader of the passage?A. sociologistsB. interviewersC. lawyers and clientsD. managers29.The passage is mainly about .A. factors that influence an interviewB. background influences over communicationC. background influences in an interview situationD. communication barriers in an interview答案及详解1.C。

银行考试英语阅读理解训练1.Can the Computer Learn from Experience计算机会总结经验吗Computers have been taught to play not only checkers, but also championship chess, which is a fairly accurate yardstick for measuring the computer’s progress in the ability to learn from experience.Because the game requires logical reasoning, chess would seem to be perfectly suited to the computer .all a programmer has to do is give the computer a program evaluating the consequences of every possible response to every possible move, and the computer will win every time. In theory this is a sensible approach; in practice it is impossible. Today, a powerful computer can analyze 40 000 moves a second. That is an impressive speed. But there are an astronomical number of possible moves in chess—literally trillions. Even if such a program were written (and in theory it could be ,given enough people and enough time), there is no computer capable of holding that much data.Therefore, if the computer is to compete at championship levels, it must be programmed to function with less than complete data. It must be able to learn from experience, to modify its own programm, to deal with a relatively unstructured situation—in a word, to “think” for itself .In fact, this can be done. Chess-playing computers have yet to defeat world champion chess players, but several have beaten human players of only slightly lower ranks. The computers have had programs to carry them through the early, mechanical stages of their chess games. But they have gone on from there to reason and learn, and sometimes to win the game.There are other proofs that computers can be programmed to learn, but this example is sufficient to demonstrate the point. Granted , winning a game of chess is not an earthshaking event even when a computer does it . But there are many serious human problems which ban be fruitfully approached as games. The Defense Department uses computers to play war games and work out strategies for dealing with international tensions. Other problems—international and interpersonal relations , ecology and economics , and the ever-increasing threat of world famine—can perhaps be solved by the joint efforts of human beings and truly intelligent computers .Notescheck:a game played on a checkerboard by two players ,each using 12 piecesecology:the relationship between organisms and their environment 生态关系，生态学Reading comprehension The purpose of creating chess-playing computers is __________A to win the world chess championB to pave the way for further intelligent computersC to work out strategies for international warsD to find an accurate yardstick for measuring computer progress2 Today , a chess-playing computer can be programmed to ________A give trillions of reponses in a second to each possible move and win the gameB function with complete data and beat the best playersC learn from chess-playing in the early stage and go on to win the gameD evaluate every possible move but may fail to give the right response each time3 For a computer to “think” , it is necessary to ________A mange to process as much data as possible in a secondB program it so that it can learn from its experiencesC prepare it for chess-playing firstD enable it to deal with unstructured situations4 The author’s attitude towards the Defense Department is____A criticalB unconcernedC positiveD negative5 In the author’s opinion,______A winning a chess game is an unimportant eventB serious human problems shouldn’t be regar ded as playing a gameC ecological problems are more urgent to be solvedD there is hope for more intelligent computers1 b2 c3 b4 c5 d2You Call This a Good Economy这能称之为上佳经验You have to have lived in the 1950s and 1960s to have experienced a good economy. In the period between 1950 and 1970 it was the rule—rather than the exception—that an ordinary family, without higher education, could sustain itself decently onthe income of a single breadwinner（养家糊口地人）. In 1955, when I was 19 and living in Brooklyn, N. Y., my father, who had a sixth-grade education, maintained our family of five on a wage of $82 a week as a bookbinder. My mother taught us fairness and compassion; my father, discipline and enterprise.The U. S. economy in those years was good. Then where did this good economy go? It was inflated away. The price of gold, which I take as proxy for the prices of all goods, was $35 an ounce in those years. It is at roughly ten times that price today.There is another answer, though: inflation caused the entire work force to be moved into higher tax groups, thus reducing after-tax purchasing power. That is, my father’s bindery job in1954 paid $82 a week, with $80 after deductions; today, at $ 820 per week the net would be $662.To ordinary people, the econ omy doesn’t look very good at all. After-tax incomes continue to decrease in purchasing power. The jobs offered in the employment ads pay only a little more than the minimum wage, maybe $5 an hour, which, after payroll deductions, yields $4 an hour.Compare that with minimum-wage jobs of the early 1950s, when 75 cents was worth today’s $7.50 before and after taxes.Notes1 Brooklyn: a district of New York city2 inflate:通货膨胀3 proxy: the authority to act for another4 payroll: a list of employees and the wages due to eachReading ComprehensionIn the author’s opinion, a good economy, to ordinary people can be expressed in terms of ______a.the amount of wageb.after-tax incomec.the actual purchasing powerd.the minimum wage per hour2In the period between 1950 and 1970,_______there was not much difference in the living standards between people of higher andlower educationan ordinary family of five without exception could live on one person incomethe income of an ordinary family was more than enough for buying foodfor an average family the income was sufficient to support all the members Today a bookbinder’s wage is ten times that of the 1950’s but its income tax rate has increased ______a.50 timesb.60timesc. 70 timesd. 80 times4 The worsening of a b ookbinder’s livelihood results from _____a. his low education and the amount of wageb. the high-taxation and the income deductionsc. the high taxation and cost of livingd. thelow wage and higher prices5 The passage implies that while the cost of living is getting higher______a. the value of labor actually is shrinkingb. the minimum wage level is increasing likewisec. the income tax rate is rising alongd. the employment ads naturally offer a higher minimumwage6 The author’s tone in writing th e article is_____a. ironicalb. subjectivec. high-soundingd. convincing7 the article aims to _________.a. help control the rapidly increasing pricesb. give some advice to the policy-makersc.impress the younger generation with some basic factsd.call upon the societys attention against inflation1 c2 b3 d4 c5 a6 d7 c3Are Experts Always Right专家总是对地吗The world has become so complicated that we’ve lost confidence in our ability to understand and deal with it. But common sense is useful now as it ever was. No amount of expertise substitutes for an intimate knowledge of a person or a situation. At times you just have to trust your own judgement.It almost cost me my life to learn that. I was reading a book one day, idly scratching the back of my head, when I noticed that, in one particular spot, the scratching echoed inside my head like fingernails on an empty cardboard carton, I rushed off to my doctor.“Got a hole in your head, have you?” he teased. “It’s nothing—just one of those little scalp n erves sounding off.”Two years and four doctors later, I was still being told it was nothing. To the fifth doctor. Isaid, almost in desperation,”But I live in tis body. I know something’s different.”“If you won’t take my word for it,I’ll take an X-ray and prove it to you,” he said.Well, there it was, of course, the tumor that had made a hole as big as an eye socket in the back of my skull. After the operation, a young resident paused by my bed. ”It’s a good thing you’re so smart,” he said.” Most patient die of these tumors because we don’t know they’re there until it is too late.”I’m really not so smart. And I’m too docile in the face of authority. I should have been more aggressive with those first four doctors. It’s hard to question opinions delivered with absolute certainty.Experts always sound so sure. Nevile Chamberlain, the British prime minister, was positive, just before the start of World War II, that there would be “peace for our time.”Producer Irving Thalberg did not hesitate to advise Louis B. Mayer against buying the rights to Gone With the Wind because “no Civil War picture ever made a nickel.” Even Abraham Lincoln surely believed it when he said in his Gettysburg Address:” The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here…”We should not, therefore, be intimidated by experts. When it’s an area we really know about—our bodies, our families, our houses—let’s listen to what the experts say, then make up our own minds.Notescardboard carton:a box or container made of a stiff pasteboard of paper2scalp: the skin covering the head3tumor:肿瘤eye socket: the opening or cavity in which the eye fits5docile: easily managed or taughtreading comprehension1.“It” in “…deal with it”(para.1) refers to ______a. confidenceb. the worldc. abilityd. complication2. “Expertise” in para.1 means______a. common senseb. expert skill or knowledgec. unusual ability to appreciated. personal experience3. We have to trust our own judgement since ____a. not all of us have acquired reliable expertiseb. experts often lose their common sensec. experts may sometimes fail to give good adviced. intimate knowledge of a person is not to be substituted for by expertise4 “That” in “it almost cost me my life to learn that”(para.2) refers to______a.

There’s just one irritating detail: when you pay your money, the cashier pulls out a felt-trip marker and an adhesive lapel tag and asks you your name.“Frum,” I say.“No, your first name.”“What do you need my first name for?”“To write on the tag, so all the children and the staff will know what to call you.”“In that case, write ‘Mr. Frum.’”2 At which I am shot a look as if I had asked to be called to Duke of Plaza Toro.3 In encouraging five-year-olds to address grownups by theirfirst names, PlaySpace is only slightly ahead of the times. As a journalist, I faithfully report that the custom of addressing strangers formally is as dead as the practice of leaving a visiting card.4 There’s hardly a secretary left who does not reply, when I give a message fro her boss, “I’ll tell him you called, David.” Or a public relations agent, whether in Bangor or Bangkok, who does not begin his telephonic spiel with a cheerful “Hello, David!”5 You don’t have to be a journalist to collect amazing first-name stories. Place a collect call, and the operator first-names you. The teenager behind the counter at a fast-food restaurant asks a 70-year-old customer for his first name before taking his order.6 Habitual first-names claim they are motivated by nothing worse than uncontrollably high-spirited friendliness. I don’t believe it. I f I asked the fast-food order-takers to lend me $50, their friendliness would vanish in a whoosh. The PR man drops all his cheerfulness the moment he hears I won’t go along with his story idea. No, it’s not friendliness that drives first-namers; it’s aggression. The PR agents who call me David uninvited would never, if they could somehow get him on the phone, address press baron Rupert Murdoch that way. The woman at the bank who called me David would never first-name the bank’s chairman. Like the mock-cheery staff at PlaySpace, they are engaged in a smiley-faced act of belittlement, an assertion of power disguised as good cheer.

No doubt it began very gradually Animals have a fewcries that serve as signals, but even the highest apes have not been found able to pronounce words, even with the most intensive professional instruction. The superior brain of man is apparently a necessity for the mastering of speech. When man became suffiviently intelligent, we must suppose that he fradually increased the number of cries for different purposes. Itwas a great day when he discovered hat speech could be used for narrative. There are those who think in this respect picture language preceded oral language. A man could draw a picture on the wall of his cave to show in which direction he had gone, or what prey he hoped to catch.Probably picture language and oral language developed side by side. I am inclined to think that language has been the most important single factor in the development of man.3 Two important stages came not so long before the dawn of written history. The first was thedomestication of animals; the second was agriculture. Agriculture was a step in human progress to which subsequently there was nothing comparable until our own machine age. Agriculture made possible an immense increase in the number of the human species in the regions where itcould be successfully practiced. These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest. Agriculture met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads, but the agricultural way of life prevailed in the end because of the physical comforts it provided.4 Another fundamental technical advance was writing, which, like spoken language, developed out of pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and transmit information to people who were not present when the information was given.5 These inventions and discoveries—fire, speech, weapons, domestic animals, agriculture, and writing—made the existence of civilized communities possible. From about 3000 B. C. until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution less than two hundred years ago there was no technical advance comparable to these.During this long period man had time to become accustomed to his technique, and to deveop the beliefs and political organizations appropriate to it There was, of course, an immense extension in the area of civilized life. At first it had been confined to the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris and the Indus, but at the end of the period in question it covered much the greater part of the inhabitable globe. I do not mean to suggest that there was no technical progress during this long time; there was progress—there were even two inventions of very great importance, namely gunpowder and the mariner’s compass—but neither of these can be compared in their power to such things as speech and writing and agriculture.Notes1 ape: any monkey2 narrative: a story or description of actual or fictional events; to narrate is to give an account or commentary3 prey: an animal hunted or caught for food4 pastoral: of or pertaining to shepherds, herdsmen, etc.5 nomad: one of a group of people who have no permanent home and move about from place to place6 the Nile: the longest river in the world flowing through East Africa,尼罗河7 the Tigris: river of Southwest Asia, joining the Euphrates in South Iraq8 the Euphrates: river of Southwest Asia,幼发拉底河9 the Indus: river of South Central Asia, rising from Southwest Tibet, flowing through Pakistan to the Arabian SeaReading Comprehensionwhich one of the following, according to the author, was first discovered or invented in human civilization?a. written languageb. oral languagec. fired. domestication2 The author does not state clearly but implies that in the development of man___a. human speech developed along with other human facultiesb. picture language and writtenlanguage developed side by sidec. oral language preceded the use of fired. the ape might be taught to master speech3 According to the passage picture language was found most useful when_____a. people didn’t want to use speech in communicationb. oral language was not fully developedc. people went hunting or traveling somewhered. people were inhabiting in caves4 It is the author’s view that in human civilization agriculture______.a. is the most important step man has ever madeb. is only less important than the domestication of animalsc. had long been practiced as stated in written historyd. can be ranked in importancewith the invention of machines5 In the 3rd paragraph,”… in the regions where it could be practiced…”, here, “it” refers to ________a. increaseb. numberc. agricultured. species6 The pastoral nomads would not have yielded to the agricultural way of life____a. if it had not been for the benefits brought about by agricultureb. unless agriculture could provide them with sufficient domesticated animalsc. if agriculture had taken up too large a number of their pasturesd. if they had not found setbacks in their pastoral way of life7 Written language in its initial stage was found more advantageous in that __a. it could communicate more accurately than the oral languageb. it had developed from picture languagec. information could be recorded and transmittedd. it was easier to learn than picture language8 The following conditions except one made it possible for civilized communities to exist.

2017中国交通银行内蒙古分行校园招聘英语试题（一）阅读理解Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each pass age is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C. and D. You shou ld decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on t he Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:If the salinity of ocean water is analyzed, it is found to var y only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these sma ll changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation—conversion of liquid water to water vapor. In this manner, the salin ity is increased, since the salts stay behind. If this is carried t o the extreme, of course, white crystals of salt would be left behi nd; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we use is ac tually obtained.The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by w hich water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. T hus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evapora tion, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation o r runoff.Normally, in tropical regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of th e world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coasta l regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower th an in other oceanic areas.A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater d irectly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it w ell tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.In the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica, the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increas es the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of oceans of the world.1. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Where do we get our table salt?B. Oceanic salinity in tropical regionsC. Three basic processes that alter oceanic salinityD. Variations of salinity in different parts of the ocean2. According to the author, the oceanic salinity is usually lowe r in _____.A. tropical regionsB. coastal regionsC. places in which warm currents and cold currents meetD. the Antarctica3.

Now theCullinan mine itself, like so many of the diamonds unearthed there, is about tochange hands. On November 22nd De Beers, the diamond giant that has owned themine since 1930, said it was selling it to a consortium led by Petra Diamonds,one of South Africa’s emerging diamond producers, for 1 billion rand in cash. Providedregulators approve the deal, the transfer should take place by the middle ofnext year.De Beers isselling because the mine is no longer profitable, despite attempts to turn itaround. But Petra reckons the mine still has another 20 years of production init and plans to extract at least 1m carats a year. The unexploited"Centenary Cut" deposit, which lies under the existing mine, couldyield a lot more. This is good news for the mine’s 1,000 or so employees and forthe town, which has depended on the diamond business since Sir Thomas Cullinandiscovered a prospect there in 1898 that contained kimberlite, a rock that canbe rich in diamonds. The mine, established in 1903, is one of 30 or sokimberlite diamond mines in the world, and is believed to be still the world’s second-most-valuable diamondresourcePetra is arelatively small outfit, listed on London’s Alternative Investment Market,that specialises in buying mines that bigger companies see as marginal. Itstrick is to extract better returns by rationalising production and processing,and keepingoperating costs and overheads down. Petra has already bought two ofDe Beers’s loss-making South African mines-both of which are now profitable-and isfinalising the 78.5m rand acquisition of the group’s underground operation in Kimberley,which stopped working in 2005.It alreadyoperates four mines in South Africa and has promising exploration in Angola (ajoint-venture with BHP Billiton), Sierra Leone and Botswana. Petra expects toproduce over 1m carats by 2010-quite a jump from 180,474 carats in the year toJune. The company has yet to make a profit, but expects to be making money bythe middle of next year.In the 1990sDe Beers decided that it was no longer a good idea to try to monopolise thediamond market. It started focusing on higher returns rather than market share,and has been revamping its mine portfolio, selling off mines that are no longerprofitable and investing in more enticing operations, such as its mine off thewest coast of South Africa, its Voorspoed operation in the Free State province,and two new mines in Canada.This hasopened the way for a new class of diamond firm that operates in the vast middleground between the world’s handful of large producers and a multitude of much smaller explorationfirms. The Cullinan deal should entrench Petra in this middle tier, alongsidefirms such as Kimberley Diamond and Trans Hex. But even if it does reach itstarget of 1m carats a year, Petra will still not be able to match the sparkleof the giants. Last year De Beers produced 51m carats from its mines inBotswana, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania, which amounted to 40% of theworld’s diamonds by va lue.1. TheCullinan mine was named after_____.[A] theoriginal name of the town[B] the nameof its first owner[C] the nameof its discoverer[D] the nameof the town’s first colonist2. Whichone of the following statements is TRUE of the Cullinan mine?[A] The mineis the only business of the town which employs most of the local residents[B] It can bemined for another 20 years given Petra’s advanced technology[C] It is theworld’s second largest diamond mine with a yearly capacity of 1m carats[D] Whetherthe mine will maintain its profitability is yet to know.3. Petra’s opearting philosophy can be said as _____.[A] to makeprofits by reducing the costs[B] toexploit the surrounding areas of an existing mine[C] tointegrate the resources of all the money-losing small mines[D] torestructure the mine portfolio and to optimize the process management4. De Beershas made changes on its development stratege because_____.[A] it plansto shrink its market share and ends its long-term monopoly[B] it wantsto open the way for the middle tier of diamond market[C] itswitches its attention to making larger profits[D] it wantsto turn around the loss-making mines by cooperating with companies of smallersize.5.

2017年英语二第1篇阅读In the first passage of the 2017 English II exam, the reading focuses on the topic of online shopping. The passage discusses the advantages and disadvantages of shopping online, as well as the factors influencing consumers' decisions.Online shopping has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its convenience and accessibility. One advantage of online shopping is the ability to shop from the comfort of one's own home. Consumers can browse through a wide range of products and make purchases at any time, without the need to physically visit a store. This convenience saves time and effort, especially for those with busy schedules or limited mobility.Another advantage of online shopping is the availability of a wider range of products. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar stores, online retailers can offer a vast selection of products from all over the world. This allows consumers to find unique items that may not be available in their local stores. In addition, online shopping platforms often provide detailed product descriptions and customer reviews, which can help consumers make informed decisions and compare prices more easily.However, the passage also highlights some drawbacks of online shopping. One major concern is the issue of security and privacy. With the increasing number of online transactions, there is a higher risk of credit card fraud and identity theft. Consumers need to be cautious and ensure that they are shopping from reputable and secure websites. It is also important to protect personal information and be aware of potential scams or phishing attempts.Another disadvantage of online shopping is the lack of physical interaction and the inability to try on or examine products before purchasing. This can be especially challenging when buying clothing or shoes, as the fit and quality may not be as expected. In such cases, returns and exchanges can be time-consuming and inconvenient. Additionally, the passage mentions the environmental impact of online shopping, as it often involves packaging and transportation, contributing to carbon emissions.The passage also discusses the factors that influence consumers' decisions when shopping online. According to the text, product reviews and ratings play a significant role in consumers' purchasing choices. Positive reviews can build trust and credibility, while negative reviews can discourage potential buyers. Price and convenience are also crucial factors, as consumers are often looking for the best deal and the easiest shopping experience. The reputation of the online retailer and the availability of customer support are also mentioned as important considerations.In conclusion, the first passage of the 2017 English II exam provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping. It highlights the convenience and accessibility of shopping online, as well as the wider range of products available. However, it also emphasizes the potential risks and challenges, such as security concerns and the lack of physical interaction. Understanding these factors and making informed decisions are important for consumers to have a positive online shopping experience.。

17年英语六级考试阅读篇章含答案17年英语六级考试阅读篇章含答案It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of great whole of life dawn on you.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的17年英语六级考试阅读篇章含答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!There are spectacular differences between financial markets on the Continent of Europe on the one hand, and in Britain on the other hand. In Britain, the market is really the City of London. It is a free market, and it controls most of the flow of savings to investment. On the Continent, either a few banks or government officials direct the flow of funds to suit their economic plans. In Germany the flow is directed by all-powerful banks. In Britain there is more free interplay of market forces and far fewer regulations, rules and “red tape”. A French banker summed it up this way: “On the Continent you can’t do anything unless you’re been told you can; in England on the other hand you can do everything as long as you haven’t been told not to.”There are many basic reasons for these differences. One is that Continental savers tend to prefer gold, cash or short-term assets. They invest only 10% of their savings in institutions like pension funds or insurance companies. But in Britain 50% of savings goes to them, and they, in turn, invest directly in equity market. A far lower proportion of savings is put in the banks in the form of liquid assets than on the Continent. Continental governments intervene directly or through the banks to collect savings together and transform them into medium or long-term loans for investment. The equity market is largely bypassed. On the Continent economic planning tends to be far morecentralized than in Britain. In Britain it is possible to influence deci sions affecting the country’s economy from within the City. It attracts a skilled and highly qualified work force. In France, on the other hand, an intelligent young man who wants a career in finance would probably find the civil service more attractive.In Britain the market, or more accurately, money tends to be regarded as an end in itself. On the Continent it is regarded as a means to an end: investment in the economy. To British eyes continental systems with possible exception of the Dutch seem slow and inefficient. But there is one outstanding fact the City should not overlook. Britain’s growth rates and levels of investment over the last ten years have been much lower than on the Continent. There are many reasons for this, but the City must take part of the blame. If it is accepted that the basic function of a financial market is to supply industry and commerce with finance in order to achieve desired rates of growth, it can be said that by concentrating on the market for its own sake the City has tended to forget that basic function.1.What is the best title of the passage?A.Savings and the Growth Rate.B.Banking and Finance: Two Different Realities.C.Monetary Policy in Britain.D.The European Continent and Britain.2.What seems to be the most fundamental reason for this difference?A.The British tend to regard money as an end, whereas Continental European consider it a means to an end.B.The British invest only 10% of their savings in pension funds.C.On the Continent you can’t do anything unless you havebeen told you can.D.Intelligent young men who want a career tend to go to civil service on the Continent.3.According to the passage, the Dutch way of finance and banking ___.A.is similar to that of the French.B.makes no difference whatever system it is compared to.C.is perhaps resembling that of the British.D.has a low efficiency.4.The word “outstanding” in Line 4, Para 3___A.beatingB.surplusC.noticeableD.seemingly5.In what way does the continental system seem better?A.The Continent maintains a higher growth rate and levels of investment.B.It has less proportion of savings in the form of liquid assets.C.It attracts intelligent young men.D.In functions properly despite the fact that the British discount it.答案：BACCA【17年英语六级考试阅读篇章含答案】。
