You should read the passages below carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Passage OneDirections: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements (No.46 to No.50). For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.In 1998 consumers could purchase virtually anything over the Internet. Books, compact discs, and even stocks were available from World Wide Web sites that seemed to spring up almost daily. A few years earlier, some people had predicted that consumers accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could notsee or touch in person. For a growing number of time starved consumers, however,shopping from their home computer was proving to be a convenient alternative to driving to the store.A research estimated that in 1998 US consumers would purchase $7.3 billion of goods over the Internet, double the 1997 total. Finding a bargain was getting easier owing to the rise of online auctions and Web sites that did comparison shopping on the Internet for the best deal.For all the consumer interest, retailing in cyberspace was still a largely unprofitable business, however. Internet pioneer Amazon. Com, which began selling books in 1995 and later branched into recorded music and videos, posted revenue of $153.7 million in the third quarter, up from $37.9 million in the same period of 1997. Overall, however, the company’s loss widened to $45.2 million from $9.6 million, and analysis did not expect the company to turn a profit until 2001. Despite the great loss, Amazon. Comhad a stock market value of many billion, reflecting investors’optimism about the future of the industry.Internet retailing appealed to investors because it provided an efficient means for reaching millions of consumers without having the cost of operating conventional stores with their armies of salespeople. Selling online carried its own risks, however. With so many companies competing for consumers’attention, price competition was intenseand profit margins thin or non existent. One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanicfor $9.99, undercutting(削价) the $19.99 suggested retail price and losing about $6 on each copy sold. With Internet retailing still in its initial stage, companies seemed willing to absorb such losses in an attempt to establish a dominant market position.46. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the writer?A. Consumers are reluctant to buy things on the Internet.B. Consumers are too busy to buy things on the Internet.C. More and more consumers prefer Internet shopping.D. Internet retailing is a profitable business.47. Finding a bargain on the Internet was getting easier partly because _______.A. there were more and more online auctionsB. there were more and more Internet usersC. the consumers had more money to spendD. there were more goods available on the Internet48. “For all the consumer interest”(Paragraph 3)means _______.A. to the interest of all the consumersB. for the interest of all the consumersC. all the consumers are much interestedD. though consumers are very much interested49. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. is making a profit nowB. will probably make a profit in 2001C. is a company that sells books onlyD. suffers a great loss on the stock market50. Investors are interested in Internet retailing because _______.A. selling online involves little riskB. Internet retailing is in its initial stageC. they can make huge profits from itD. it can easily reach millions of consumersPassage TwoDirections: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements (No.51 to No.55). For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has beena mystery. Both are emulsions tiny globules of one liquid evenly distributedthroughout another. The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what’s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation. In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture. “This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says. When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients. They also slowlypoison themselves with their waste products. “In butter, you get a self limitingsystem which stops the bacteria growing,” says Brocklehurst. The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food’s structure. Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid state.51. The significance of Brocklehurst’s research is that _______.A. it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservativesB. it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butterC. it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butterD. it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition52. According to the researchers, cream sours faster than butter because bacteria _______.A. are more evenly distributed in creamB. multiply more easily in cream than in butterC. live on less fat in cream than in butterD. produce less waste in cream than in butter53. According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by _______.A. removing its fatB. killing the bacteriaC. reducing its water contentD. altering its structure54. The word “colonies” (Line 11) refers to _______.A. tiny globulesB. watery regionsC. bacteria communitiesD. little compartments55. Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack _______.A. by varying its chemical compositionB. by turning it into a solid lumpC. while keeping its structure unchangedD. while retaining its liquid formPassage ThreeDirections: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements (No.56 to No.60). For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A lot of research has been conducted into stress over the last hundred years. The most commonly accepted definition of stress is that stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that“demands exceed the personal and socialresources the individual is able to mobilize.” In short, it’s what we feel when we think we’ve lost control of events.Some of the early research on stress(conducted by Walter Cannon in 1932) established the existence of the well-known“fight-or-flight”response. His work showed that when an organism experiences a shock or perceives a threat, it quickly releases hormones(荷尔蒙)that help it to survive.In humans, as in other animals, these hormones help us to run faster and fight harder. They increase heart rate and blood pressure, delivering more oxygen and blood sugar to power important muscles. They increase sweating in an effort to cool these muscles, and help them stay efficient. They divert blood away from the skin to the core of our bodies, reducing blood loss if we are damaged. As well as this, these hormones focus our attention on the threat, to the exclusion of everything else. All of this significantly improves our ability to survive life-threatening events.Not only life-threatening events trigger this reaction. We experience it almost any time we come across something unexpected or something that frustrates our goals. When the threat is small, our response is small and we often do not notice it among the many other distractions of a stressful situation.Unfortunately, this mobilization of the body for survival also has negative consequences. In this state, we are excitable, anxious, jumpy and irritable. This actually reduces our ability to work effectively with other people. With trembling and a pounding heart, we can find it difficult to execute precise, controlled skills. The intensity of our focus on survival interferes with our ability to make fine judgments by drawing information from many sources. We find ourselves more accident-prone and less able to make good decisions.There are very few situations in modern working life where this response is useful. Most situations benefit from a calm, rational, controlled and socially sensitive approach.In the short term, we need to keep this “fight-or-flight” response under control to be effective in our jobs. In the long term we need to keep it under control to avoid problems of poor health and burnout.56. The author’s intention in writing this article is to _______.A. explain the “fight-or-flight” response and tell us to take control of itB. tell us the “fight-or-flight” response is a natural reaction to dangerC. show that the “fight-or-flight” response may help us survive in dangerD. illustrate that the “fight-or-flight” response has great negative consequences57. What is the well-known “fight-or-flight” response?A. People tend to release hormones in danger.B. People may escape quickly or fight hard in danger.C. People tend to be very nervous under stress.D. People can not work effectively under stress.58. Which of the following is NOT part of the“fight or flight”response?A. Blood pressure is increased.B. Muscles become more energetic.C. More blood is delivered to the skin.D. Muscles get cooled by sweating.59. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. we only experience this “fight-or-flight” response when we are in dangerB. the small “fight-or-flight” response in our ordinary life is often ignoredC. the “fight-or-flight” response makes a human body work less efficientlyD. we can benefit from the “fight-or-flight” response we experienced in work60. The reasons why we should keep this “fight-or-flight” response under control are the following EXCEPT that in this state _______.A. we are often bad tempered and can not cooperate effectively with our colleaguesB. we are too eager to survive that we are not able to make appropriate decisionsC. we often get nervous which may be harmful to our health in the long runD. We often gather too much information which may distract us from working effectively Passage FourDirections: The following is the letter offering a job. After reading it, you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 61 through No.65) that follow.
