In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain (37). In a chain store ask to see the manager.Even the bravest person finds it difficult to complain face to face, so if you do not want to do it in (38) , write a letter. Be sure to（39）to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not (40) with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sureto keep copies of your own letters and any you receive.If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offerto (41) or repair the faulty article. You may find this an (42) solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back , but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well. And if you have suffered some (43) loss, if for example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money, say so. If you accept a credit note remember that later you will not be able to ask for your money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you money, ask for (44) from your Citizens' Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note.In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you your money back--if, for example, he changes an article simplybecause you don't like it or it does not fit.

In this (36), every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.To the professional anthropologist (人类学家), there is no intrinsic(37)of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy(等级制度) among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as (38) and undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the (39) of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or (40 ) structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which（41）the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, however, two thingsare to be noted: 1. All languages seem to (42) the machineryfor vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly (43) and complicated.This study of language, in turn, (44) a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed(45), and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.A. savageB. superiorityC. conceiveD. transferE. identificationF. grammaticalG. reflectH. revealsI. numerous J . independentlyK. exclusive L. casts M. sense N. confidentially O. possess专四完形填空新题型模拟题（3）In the second half of the twentieth century, many countries of the South began to send students to the industrialized countries for further education. They (36) needed supplies of highly trained personnel to (37) a concept of development based on modernization. But many of these students decided to stay on in the developed countries when they had finished their training.In the 1960s, some Latin American countries tried to solve this problem by setting up special "return" programs to encourage their professionals to come back home. These programs received support from international bodies such as the International Organization for Migration, which in 1974enabled over 1,600（38）scientists and technicians to return to Latin America.In the 1980s and 1990s, "temporary return" programs were set up in order to make the best use of trained personnel (39) strategic positions in the developed countries. This gave rise to the United Nations Development Program's Transfer of Knowledge through Expatriate Nationals, which encourages technicians and scientists to work in their own countries for short periods. But the brain drain from these countries maywell increase in (40) to the new laws of the international market in knowledge.Recent studies (41) that the most developed countries are going to need more and more highly qualified professionals around twice as many as their educational systems will be ableto produce, or so it is thought. As a (42) there is an urgent need for developing countries which send students abroad to give (43) to fields where they need competent people to give muscle to their own institutions, instead of encouraging the training of people who may not come back because there are no professional outlets for them. And the countries of the South must not be content with institutional structures that simply take back professionals sent abroad; they must introduce (44) administrative procedures to encourage them to return. If they do not do this, the brain drain is (45) to continue.A. forecastB. flexibleC. neutrallyD. preferenceE. detachF. boundG. implementH. consequenceI. qualifiedJ. dismissingK. result L.occupying M. urgently N . skepticalO . response专四完形填空新题型模拟题（4）Complaints should be made to a responsible person.

They have developed a hitlist of our main fears: natural resources are（1）out the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat species are becoming （2）in vast numbers, and the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted.But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more（3） not less so, since the book 'The Limits to Growth' was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more foodis now produced per 4 of the world's population than at any time in history. Fewer people are （5） . Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25~50%, as has so often been（6）. And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been （7） , or are transient - associated with the early stages of industrialization and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth, but by（8）it. One form of pollution - therelease of greenhouse gases that causes global warming - does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to（9） a devastating (令人心神不安的) problem. A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it.Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and some factors seem to cause this disjunction between （10） and reality.A) pose B) exaggerated C) acceleratingD) extinct E) exist F) perceptionG) wealthy H) magnified I) starvingJ) head K) running L) predictedM) abundantN) conceptionO) reducing专四完形填空新题型模拟题（6）During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, migrations have taken place within (11) countries; the cities with their industries have attracted people away from the country. The possibility of earning a fixed (12) in a factory or office wasmore attractive than the possibility of staying on the farm and having one's work (13) by frost, storms, or droughts. Furthermore, thedevelopment of agricultural machinery made it possible for fewer people to do the same (14) of work.Thus, at the same time when the industrial revolution made it possible to produce goods more (15) and more quickly in factories, agricultural revolution also took place. Instead of leaving fields empty every third year, farmers began to plant clover or some other crop that would (16) the soil. Instead of using only animal fertilizer, farmers began to use chemical fertilizers to keep the soil rich. These methods have enabled French farmers, for example, to get five times as much wheat as was (17) from the same land two centuries ago.In many countries farmers find it more (18) to raise only one crop or one kind of animal. They choose the kind that gives the best results. Then they sell all that they produce, instead of trying to grow a little of everything and consume what they grow. This is a more feasible type of (19) because modern methods and machinery are adapted to specific animals and specific crops. Therefore, it would be too expensive to do allthe work by hand, or to buy the (20) needed for several different kinds of farming.A. salary E. deserted I. equivalent M. destroyedB. freely F. operation J. enrich N. certainC. profitable G.amount K. fruitful O. cheaplyD. obtained H. payment L. equipment专四完形填空新题型模拟题（7）Like most parents, geologist Brain Atwater worries about his daughter's safety. But these days, he has an unusual concern; The public school she (11) in Seattle has unreinforced brick walls, a (12) being easy to collapse during earthquakes. The same (13) of walls crushed hundreds of thousands of people during the 1976 Tangshan quake in China.A decade ago, Atwater would have paid little notice to schoolroom walls. But over the last several years, he and other scientists have found (14) signs that the Pacific Northwest hasexperienced giant quakes in the distant past and that the area may be headed for a destructive shock in the near future.At a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in December, researchers discussed the (15) uncovered evidence of quake potential in the Pacific Northwest. While some remain unconvinced that huge earthquakes—with magnitudes of 8 or higher—do indeed (16) this region, a growing number consider such shocks a serious possibility.What's worrisome, they say, is that northwestern cities such as Portland, Seattle and Vancouver have not prepared for earthquakes of this magnitude, which could shake the region's (17) centers with enough force to make the recent San Francisco area damage seem (18) in comparison."I think it's quite true to say that nothing has really been designed with one of these earthquakes in mind," says seismologist Paul Somerville of Woodward. At the meeting, Somerville and his colleagues (19) estimates of the degree of shaking. Portland and Seattle would suffer during such a (20) earthquake.A. massiveB.recentlyC.constructionD.displayedE. relativelyF.attendsG.typeH.strikeI. structure J.participates K.excessive dM. disturbing N.population 0.presented专四完形填空新题型模拟题（8）Growth of trade will depend greatly on availability of energy sources. There may still be a trillion barrels of recoverable oil in the Middle East. But the oil crisis of 1974 has (11) to renewed interest in coal and to a search for （12） sources of energy. Solar, geothermal, and nuclear energy will play a large role in the years to come.Solar energy is available in （13） forms. Buildings can be heated and cooled by direct use of solar radiation, crops and trees, which are the most efficient converters of sunlight into energy, can be grown for their energy potential, wastes can be burned as （14） , sunlight can be converted into DC (direct current) electricity, electric power can be （15） from thesun-warmed surface waters of the ocean, and lastly, solar radiation can be converted into heat that will drive electric power generators. Serious problems still remain as to （16）and storage of solar energy.Geothermal energy is the energy contained within the earth. Heat is abundantly available deep in the earth's core and is constantly being produced. However, this heat is usually located at too deep a level for （17） exploitation. In short, very little is known on the use of geothermal energy, and it has （18） been exploited.Nuclear energy is produced in nuclear power plants. At these plants atoms of uranium are split, thus （19） masses of energy. Another source of energyunder development is the nuclear fusion of certain atoms of hydrogen. This could eventually （20） natural gas as a source of energy.A. rarelyB.transformationC.fuelD.replaceE. ledF.alternativeG mercial H.briefly I. derivedJ.various K.relieving L.releasingM. transportation N.financial O.described专四完形填空新题型模拟题（9）The economy of the United States after 1952 was the economy of a well-fed, almost fully employed people. Despite （11）alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a （12） of boom. An economic survey of the year 1955, atypical year of the 1950's, may be typical as （13） the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was （14）at 10 percent above that of 1954(1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufactures was about 40 percent more than it had （15） in the years immediately following World War I . The country's business spent about 30 billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income （16） for spending was almost a third greater than it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day, or about twenty-five million dollars every hour, all round the （17） . Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than twomillion wanted jobs but could not find them. Only agriculture （ 18 ）that it was not sharing in the boom. To some observers this was a sad reflection of the mid-1920's. As farmers' share of their products （19） , marketing costs rose. But there were, among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority. Those few seemed to fearthat the boom could not last long and would（20） lead to the opposite—depression.A. eventuallyB.averagedC.graduallyD.stateE. valuedF.formG.declinedH.occasionalI. casual J.argued K.descended L plainedM. clock N.available O.illustrating专四完形填空新题型模拟题（10）Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now （11） . Just a few years ago, it was （12） impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a （13） of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country.

This strange ___31_____happens every five to eight years. It starts in the Pacific Ocean and is thought to be caused by a failure in the trade winds(信风)，which affects the ocean currents driven by these winds. As the trade winds lessen in ____32____, the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 50C.The warming of the ocean has far-reaching effects. The hot, humid(潮湿的)air over the ocean causes severe ___33___thunderstorms.The rainfall is increased across South American, ____34____floods to Peru. In the West pacific, there are droughts affecting Australia and Indonesia. So while some parts of the world prepare for heavy rains and floods, other parts face drought, poor crops and____35____.EI Nino usually lasts for about 18 months. The 1982-83 EI Nino brought the most___36____weather in modern history. Its effect was worldwide and it left more than 2,000 people dead and caused over eight billion pounds ____37___of damage. The 1990 EI Nino lasted until June 1995.

Many in-home jobs that used to be done__31__ by women----ranging from familyshopping to preparing meals to doing __32__work--still need to be done by someone .Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a __33___ that has changed the target market for many products. Or a working woman may face a crushing “poverty of time “and look for help elsewhere , creating opportunities for producers of frozen meals, child care centers, dry cleaners, financial services, and the like.Although there is still a big wage __34__ between men and women, the income working women __35__ gives them new independence and buying power. For example, women now __36__ about half of all cars. Not long ago, many cars dealers __37__ women shoppers by ignoring them or suggesting that they come back with their husbands. Now car companies have realized that women are __38__ customers. It’s interesting that some leading Japanese car deal ers were the first to __39__ pay attention to women customers. In Japan, fewer women have jobs or buy cars ---- the Japanese society is still very much male—oriented. Perhaps it was the __40__ contrast with Japanese society that prompted American firms to pay more attention to women buyers.Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life. In particular, when older patients __31__ of pain, they were told it was a natural part of aging and they would have to learn to live with it.Times have changed. Today, we take pain __32__. Indeed, pain is now considered the fifth vital sign, as important as blood pressure, temperature, breathing rate and pulse in __33__ a person’s well-being. We know that chronic (慢性的) pain can disrupt (扰乱) a person’s life, causing problems that __34__ from missed work to depression.That’s why a growing number of hospitals now depend upon physicians who __35__ in pain medicine. Not only do we evaluate the cause of the pain, which can help us treat the pain better, but we also help provide comprehensive therapy for depression and other psychological and social __36__ related to chronic pain. Such comprehensive therapy often __37__ the work of social workers, psychiatrists (心理医生) and psychologists, as well as specialists in pain medicine.This modern __38__ for pain management has led to a wealth of innovative treatments which are more effective and with fewer side effects than ever before. Decades ago, there were only a __39__ number of drugs available, and many of them caused __40__ side effects in older people, including dizziness and fatigue. This created a double-edged sword: the medications helped relieve the pain but caused other problems that could be worse than the pain itself.模拟试题4As war spreads to many corners of the globe, children sadly have been drawn into the center of conflicts. In Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Colombia, however, groups of children have been taking part in peace education 31 . The children, after learning to resolve conflicts, took on the 32 of peacemakers. The Children’s Movement for Peace in Colombia was even nominated（提名）for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998. Groups of children 33 as peacemakers studied human rights and poverty issues in Colombia, eventually forming a group with five other schools in Bogota known as The Schools of Peace.The classroom 34 opportunities for children to replace angry, violent behaviors with 35 ,peaceful ones. It is in the classroom that caring and respect for each person empowers children to take a step36 toward becoming peacemakers. Fortunately, educators have access to many online resources that are 37 useful when helping children along the path to peace. The Young Peacemakers Club, started in 1992,provides a Website with resources for teachers and 38 on starting a Kindness Campaign. The World Centers of Compassion for Children International call attention to children’s rights and how to help the 39 of war. Starting a Peacemakers’ Club is a praiseworthy venture for a class and one that could spread to other classrooms and ideally affect the culture of the 40 school.Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe. I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly ___31___ to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was ___32___ to a little college French.I hesitated.

I often see a rise in student confidence and ___38___ after only a few weeks of journal writing .Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole student.

They build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation, or the perfect love letter. Every day that they write in their journals puts them a step ___40___ to fluency , eloquence (雄辩), and command of language .The popular notion that old people need less sleep than younger adults is a myth, scientists said yesterday. While elderly people __31__ to sleep for fewer hours than they did when they were younger, this has a(n) __32__ effect on their brain's performance and they would benefit from getting more, according to research.Sean Drummond, a. psychiatrist (心理医生) at the University of California, San Diego, said older people are more likely to suffer from broken sleep, while younger people are better at sleeping __33__ straight through the night.More sleep in old age, however, is __34__ with better health, and most older people would feel better and more __35__ if they slept for longer periods, he said.“The ability to sleep in one chunk (整块时间) overnight goes down as we age but the amount of sleep we need to __36__ well does not change,” Dr Drummond told the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in San Diego.“It's __37__ a myth that older people need less sleep.

Our data suggests that older adults would benefit from __39__ to get as much sleep as they did in their 30s. That's __40__ from person to person, but the amount of sleep we had at 35 is probably the same amount as we need at 75.”With the world's population estimated to grow from six to nine billion by 2050, researchers. businesses and governments are already dealing with the impact this increase will have on everything from food and water to infrastructure (基础设施) and jobs. Underling all this ___31___ will be the demand for energy, which is expected to double over the next 40 years.Finding the resources to meet this demand in a ___32___. sustainable way is the cornerstone (基石) of our nation's energy security, and will be one of the major ___33___ of the 21st century.

Although these educators may have good 31 , their advice to families is misguided, and it 32 from misunderstandings about the process of language acquisition. Educators may fear that children hearing two languages will become 33 confused and thus their language development will be 34 ; this concern is not documented in the literature. Children are capable of learning more than one language, whether 35 or sequentially（依次地）．In fact, most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even, in many cases, multilingual. Globally, knowing more than one language is viewed as an 36 and even a necessity in many areas.It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given primarily to poor families with limited educational opportunities, not to wealthier families who have many educational advantages. Since children from poor families often are 37 as at-risk for academic failure, teachers believe that advising families to speak English only is appropriate. Teachers consider learning two languages to be too 38 for children from poor families, believing that the children are already burdened by their home situations.If families do not know English or have limited English skills themselves, how can they communicate in English? Advising non-English-speaking families to speak only English is 39 to telling them not to communicate with or interact with their children. Moreover, the 40 message is that the family's native language is not important or valued.Some performance evaluations require supervisors to take action. Employees who receive a very favorable evaluation may deserve some type of recognition or even a promotion. If supervisors do not acknowledge such outstanding performance, employees may either lose their 31 and reduce their effort or search for a new job at a firm that will 32 them for high performance. Supervisors should acknowledge high performance so that the employee will continue to perform well in the future.Employees who receive unfavorable evaluations must also be given attention. Supervisors must 33 the reasons for poor performance. Some reasons, such as a family illness, may have a temporary adverse ___34__ on performance and can be corrected. Other reasons, such as a badattitude, may not be temporary. When supervisors give employees an unfavorable evaluation, they must decide whether to take any __35 __ actions. If the employees were unaware of their own deficiencies, the unfavorable evaluation can pinpoint (指出) the deficiencies that employees must correct. In this case, the supervisor may simply need to monitor the employees 36 and ensure that the deficiencies are corrected.If the employees were already aware of their deficiencies before the evaluation period, however, they may be unable or unwilling to correct them. This situation is more serious, and the supervisor may need to take action. The action should be 37 with the firm's guidelines and may include reassigning the employees to new jobs, 38 them temporarily, or firing them. A supervisor's action toward a poorly performing worker can 39 the attitudes of other employees. If no 40 is imposed on an employee for poor performance, other employees may react by reducing their productivity as well.Cell phones provide instant access to people. They are creating a major 31 in the social experiences of both children and adolescents. In one recent U. S. survey, about half the teens polled said that their cell phone had 32 their communication with friends. Almost all said that their cell phone was the way they stayed in touch with peers, one-third had used the cell phone to help a peer in need, and about 80% said the phone made them feel safer. Teenagers in Australia, 33 , said that their mobile phones provided numerous benefits and were an 34 part of their lives; some were so 35__ to their phones that the researchers considered it an addiction. In Japan, too, researchers are concerned about cell phone addiction. Researchers in one study in Tokyo found that more than half of junior high school students used their phones to exchange e-mails with schoolmates more than 10 times a day.Cell phones 36 social connections with peers across time and space. They allow young people to exchange moment-by-moment experiences in their daily lives with special partners and thus to have a more 37 sense of connection with friends. Cell phones also can 38 social tolerance because peers, cell phones connect children and parents. Researchers studying teenagers in Israel concluded that, in that ___39__ environment, mobile phones were regarded as "security objects" in parent-teen relationships—important because they provided the possibility of 40 and communication at all times.答案部分模拟试题11.F2.B3.E4.L5.K6.J7.N8.A9.O10.I模拟试题21.H2.N3.O4.A5.L6.C7.K8.G9.D10.F模拟试题31.L2.G3.I4.D5.O6.F7.B8.M9.J10.C模拟试题41.K2.M3.A4.J5.D6.G7.F8.I9.O10.E模拟试题51.D2.H3.O4.G5.M6.J7.B8.N9.C10.A模拟试题61.M2.I3.F4.E5.H6.D7.B8.J9.C10.A模拟试题71.N2.L3.H4.B5.A6.J7.F8.O9.E10.G模拟试题81.H2.A3.N4.O5.D6.M7.C8.G9.K10.B模拟试题91.F2.L3.I4.B5.K6.A7.E8.H9.D10.N模拟试题101.H2.L3.I4.J5.A6.F7.G8.N9.B10.K模拟试题111.N2.J3.O4.L5.B6.H7.E8.F9.I10.C。

Dent, 36 high in the hills of Yorkshire, wakes up On six summer weekends each year, when a special charter train unloads walkers, sightseers and people who37want to catch a train from the highest station, on to its platform. But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end.Dent station is situated on the Settle to Carlisle railway line, said to be the most38in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line from British Rail's cash problems. This year, for the 39 of economy, the express trains which used to pass through Dent station have been put on to another route.It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Its bridge, built on a grand 40 a century ago, is falling down. It is not alone. Half-a-dozen railway routes in the north of Englandare facing a similar threat. The problem is a worn-out system and an almost 41 lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their age, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are getting old. On42lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. These lines still make a profit and cash can be found to43 them. But on the country branch line, the story is different. As track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead speed limits are introduced, making journeys longer than necessary and discouraging customers.If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from another44. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at Bridlington station was threatening to fail down. Repairs were45 at 200,000--just for one bridge--and British Rail was delighted, and rather surprised, when two local councils offered half that amount between them.A. maintainB. scenicC. transcendD. sourceE. estimatedF. sakeG. complexH.simplyI. consolidationJ. situatedK. respectivelyL. totalM. majorN. restrainedO. scale英格兰铁路主干线上海拔最高的火车站命悬一线：自从1970年正式关闭后，它已经被废弃，也没人管理了。

(一)Complaints should be made to a responsible person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any(36)you may have. Ask to see the buyer in a large store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain(37). In a chain store ask to see the manager.Even the bravest person finds it difficult to complain face to face, so if you do not want to do it in (38),write a letter. Be sure to39to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not(40)with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive.If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to(41) or repair the faulty article. You may find this an(42) solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back,but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well. And if you have suffered some(43)loss, if for example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money, say so. If you accept a credit note remember that later you will not be able to ask for your money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you money, ask for(44) from your Citizens' Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note. In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you your money back--if, for example, he changes an article simply because you don't like it or it does not fit. He does not hive to take back the goods in these(45).A. intimateB. attractiveC. personD. attachmentE. satisfiedF. receiptG. contaminateH. replaceI. specialJ. stickL. adviceM. circumstancesN. directlyO. petitions投诉应该找负责人。

带上你可能有的任何[36]收据，返回你购买商品的商店。

在大商店里，要求见进货员。

在小商店里，店员也可能是店主，所以你可以[37]直接投诉。

在连锁商店里，要求见经理。

即便是最勇敢的人也会觉得当面投诉很困难，所以，如果不想E3S]当面投诉，你可以写信。

确保所写[39]属实，并把你所写的内容复印一份自己保留。

在这个阶段，你应该提供所有的收据单号，但是你无需提供收据或其他文件来证明你买了这件商品。

如果你对所得到的回复不[40]满意，或者如果你没得到回复，要写信给这家公司、商店或组织的总经理。

务必将你自己写的信以及你收到的任何来信备份。

如果你的投诉是合理的，店主可能会提出[41]退换或修理有问题的物品。

你可能会觉得这是个[42]很吸引人的解决方法。

在某些情况下，你或许有权拒绝接受这件商品并要求退款，但这只有在你几乎没用过这件商品并即时采取行动的情况下才可以。

即使你无法拒绝这件商品，你或许也能拿回些退款。

而且，如果你遭受了一些[43]特殊的损失，例如，如果一台新洗衣机把你的衣服弄破了，你也许会获得损失的赔偿。

如果店主给你提供信用证，让你在同样的商店里购买商品时使用，而你更希望他给你钱，那么你就该说出来。

如果你接受了信用证，请记住，你之后就不能索要退款了。

如果店主拒绝给你钱，你可以在接受信用证前向公民咨询局征求[44]意见。

在一些情况下，店主不需要给你退款——比如，因为你不喜欢某件商品或这件商品不适合你，而他也给你换了货的话，在这些[45]情况下，他不需要收回商品并退款。

（二）Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.Many of the aids which are advertised as liberating the modem woman tend to have the opposite effect,because they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty value,like toys for adults. It is (36 )less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really37too much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted first, stains38by hand, buttons pushed and water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed.It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a(39)and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of domesticated woman fostered by the women's magazines with the goods advertised by those periodicals, advertising which finances them, one realizes how useful a projected image can be in commerce. A careful (40) has to be struck: if you show a labor-saving gadget, follow it up with a(41)recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness,(42) the creative aspect of her function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself, to produce "that lovely home-baked(43)the family love",and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became a tremendous vogue when they were first(44) (difficult to know who would wear all those rapidly produced sweaters, which lacked the advantages of hand-made woolens).
