My idea was to create a small business profiling (介绍;概述) site that would make it easy for people to find places to go when they needed or wanted a particular service or item. I thought I should keep the idea a secret until it had been completely developed so no one could steal it. However, I should have talked to businesses and their customers to see if they would use a service like this. At the rime, I thought this idea was brilliant. I outsourced (把…外包) the coding work, and spent $1000 of my own money, to build a product that was far from the one I expected. My money was wasted, and I had found out the hard way that my idea couldn‟t work.From this experience I learned a couple of things, one of which was that outsourcing work is a very risky move that should only be done with care and great attention. The other thing I learned was that sharing your idea with others is much more valuable than keeping it to yourself. By giving others an idea of what you aretrying to do, you will get valuable feedback as well as figure out whether or not your idea has legs.33.The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _____.A) emphasize the importance of the urge to start a companyB) explain his idea about creating a business websiteC) share some lessons he learned in starting a businessD) give warnings to the readers against outsourcing34. The author decided to create a website because he believed it would _____.A) provide a convenient service B) lead people to small businessesC) be completely developed D) bring ideas to make his business grow35. The author started creating his business profiling site without _____.A) a unique service for customers B) an intension for investmentC) an investigation into the business D) outsourcing the coding work36. The author felt very much disappointed when _____.A) he talked to businesses and customersB) he finally finished his coding workC) he found his brilliant idea stolenD) he saw he finished product of the website37. If the author has another great idea to start a business, he would first _____.A) try harder to keep the idea a secret B) talk with people for their feedbackC) start it together with other people D) avoid investing with his own money Passage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Beijing is asking its citizens for opinions about the proposed garbage classification rules that it intends to introduce to better manage trash. As the most effective way to reduce harmful gases emitted from trash-burners, classification is a step toward the goal of reducing the total amount of trash.So far, classification of trash has only been practiced in some communities on a trial basis and investigations show that most residents haven‟t developed the awareness or habit of sorting trash into different containers. Some residents ignore the different trash cans and throw bags of mixed waste into the nearest can.How to make residents cooperate in garbage sorting remains the sticking point. Grassroots government, such as district committees and neighborhood committees, must be well organized and take responsibility for helping the public understand why trash classification is important and how it is done.In addition, community workers need to play a much more active role. Community workers need to guide residents so they know what kind of trash to put in which can. They also need to find whether there are residents who disobey the rules and throw away mixed trash.It is perhaps not easy for some residents to develop the new habit of putting different trash into different bags, but they must change. The safe disposal of urban waste will never be realized without trash sorting by residents.That process is a must for the rules to work.38. As the government prepares to introduce rules for garbage classification, citizens of Beijing are asked to _____.A) throw out less garbage B) tell what they think about the rulesC) reduce trash burning D) improve management of trash39. At present, classification of garbage in Beijing _____.A) is regarded as impractical B) is unknown to the residentsC) has met objection from residents D) has begun in some places40. Investigations show that most residents dispose mixed waste without _____.A) habit of putting garbage into trash cans B) practice of using garbage bagsC) awareness of trash classification D) guidance to use different containers41. The word “grassroots” (line 1, paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _____.A) “directly facing the residents”B) “in relation with grasslands”C) “in the countryside”D) “responsible for environment”42. The biggest challenge for the city to realize safe garbage disposal lies in _____.A) getting the public to cooperateB) reducing the emission of harmful gasesC) finding the residents who ignore the rulesD) organizing district and community committeesPassage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.In the United States, the handshake has become an extremely ambiguous (含糊的) symbol. At one level, it just means “hello”or “goodbye.”But it can also be interpreted as “we‟re in agreement.”And on a still deeper level, it can mean “everything‟s OK between us,” particularly after some conflict has been settled. But sometimes social custom awkwardly calls for shaking hands to signify (表示) the end of a meeting, even though no agreement has been reached or a state of conflict still exists.Then, of course, business types will read all sorts of meaning into the very style of your handshake. Even if you execute it under exactly the right circumstances, it must be firm but not too firm; it must be held for exactly the right amount of time but no longer; it must be accompanied by direct eye contact; and, to be more sincere, you should add your left hand to make a “hand sandwich.” You may also be judged on the angle of your hand and the number and intensity of shakes.And if this kind of confusion isn‟t bad enough, that‟s just the standard, ordinary handshake. Gangs (黑帮团伙) sometimes use special handshakes to signify group membership, and use “secret handshakes” as a kind of password, a symbolic way of saying, “We‟re insiders.”So if someone outside the group incorrectly attempts a handshake, the results can be quite serious. On the other hand, a high five (arguably a variety of handshake) pretty unambiguously expresses satisfaction or congratulations --- but that‟s the exception.43. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A) Handshaking is ambiguous because it causes confusion.B) Handshaking is an awkward practice of social custom.C) Handshaking signifies that an agreement has been reached.D) Handshaking may mean differently in different situations.44. In business handshakes, “a hand sandwich” is made when _____.A) you shake for a longer amount of timeB) you want to show you are very sincereC) you make eye contact and shake firmlyD) you use your left hand for shaking45. The number and intensity of shakes would be judged on business occasionsbecause _____.A)they show your personal preferenceB)they convey extra meanings in the handshakeC)they would possibly cause conflictsD)they signify your style of handshakes46. Gangs sometimes use special handshakes to _____.A) keep a gang secret among themselvesB) admit a new member into their groupC) show that they belong to the same groupD) pass a password to all the insiders47. A high five is usually used for _____.A) the end of an argument B) a password among gang membersC) satisfaction or congratulations D) an exceptional occasionPassage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.According to a recent food survey by the European food Safety Authority (EFSA), most Europeans aren‟t overly concerned about …food scares,‟ or food-related risks.Around 27,000 consumers across the European Union were asked a range of questions relating to the possible risks associated with food and the level of confidence in public authorities on food safety-related issues.When it came to the response to the threat of food scares, UK respondents (应答人) were less worried about all of the perceived food-related risks than their European counterparts (相对应的人或物) but were most concerned about the welfare of farmed animals and the quality and freshness of food. Only 29 percent of UK respondents thought that food could possibly damage their health, as opposed to 48 percent in the rest of the respondents were also less likely to permanently change their eating habits after hearing that a type of food was unsafe from media stories (only seven percent as opposed to 11 percent in the rest of Europe).Asked how they respond to information on food-related matters communicated in the media or on the Internet, about half of the EU respondents said they ignored stories in the media or worried about them but did not change their eating habits.The findings provide an important resource for carrying out further research on the relation between trust in information sources, confidence in public authorities and perception (看法) of food-related risks。

Buses offer the added advantage of being able to see various areas of Manhattan While you ride. How Much Does the Bus Cost? Fare is $2.25 and can be paid with a MetroCard or coins (no dollar bills, no pennies).A free transfer to another bus or the subway within 2 hours is available if you paid with a MetroCard. If you pay cash you can ask for a transfer, but it is only good for transferring to another bus (not to the subway) within 2 hours.Getting On and Off the Bus You must wait for buses at designated (指定的) bus stops. As you see the bus approaching your stops, you can put your arm out to indicate to the driver that you want to board the bus.Enter the bus through the front doors and pay your fare. Take a seat or move toward the back of the bus to make room for other people boarding the bus. To request a stop: Pull the cord or press the black band near the windows. A “Stop Requested” light wi ll be on immediately at the front of the bus.36.

Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are several furniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target market.One thing you can do is to talk with real estate (房地产) agents to allow you to display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to reach a key target market – new home buyers – who may need new furniture for their future homes. Increasing foot traffic (顾客流量) is also important for a furniture store. To get more people to the store, you can advertise a raffle event (抽奖活动). This event can be promoted in your local media and through direct mail campaigns or front door advertisements to generate more interest.In tough economic times, small business owners often suffer most as a result of slow consumer spending. To fight back against this, you have to make it easier of your customers to buy furniture. If you can, offer in-store financing, or drop the interest rate on your company’s credit terms, Con sider lowering your prices and holding two-for-one events to arouse more consumer interest.41. Why is it a challenge for small businesses to sell furniture to the public?A) The style of furniture changes fast.B) Their furniture is often old-fashioned.C) People buy furniture only occasionally.D) The public’s taste for furniture is different.42.

1-5 B C A A A 6-10 D B D C C11-13 C A C 14-16 C C B 17-20 D C D CFor Americans, time is money. They say, “You only get so much time in this life: you’d better use it wisely.” The future will not be 21 better than the past or present, 22 unless people use their time for constructive activities. Thus, Americans 23 admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a 24 schedule for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and is considerate of other people’s time. They do not 25 waste people’s time with conversation or other activity that has no 26 visible beneficial outcome.The American attitude toward time is not necessarily 27 shared by others, especially non- Europeans. They are more likely to regard time as 28 something that simply there around them not something they can use. One of the more difficult things many students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.In this context the fast food industry can be seen as 29 a clear example of American culture product McDonal d’s, KFC, and other fast food establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald’s restaurants spread around the world, they have been viewed as 30 a symbol of American society and culture bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.Passage one31.

第⼀篇 The Smell of Money For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their stories. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma (⾹⽓) consultants, has been approached by Barclay’s Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the “smell if money” will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the bank’s security and professionalism. But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks’ air conditioning systems. It must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes-and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmonger’s (鱼贩) will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food. It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts (椰⼦) into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers (⾃动售货机) that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats. “The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses,” explains researcher Jim O’Rordan. “There is a direct pathway from the olfactory (嗅觉的) organs in the nose to the brain.” It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong, stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants (刺激物) can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to harness. “We’ve made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy,” says O’Riordan, “Who knows where it will take us.” 31. Artificial smells have NOT been used in A cafes B banks C travel agencies D supermarkets 32. Researchers believe that introducing the “smell of money” into banks will encourage people A to spend money B to feel confident about banks C to earn more money D to withdraw money from banks 33. The difficulty of producing the “smell of money” lies in that A people’s attitudes toward money are different B it’s hard to identify and analyze it C no technology can do it D experts have no motive 34. The word “harness” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to A see B study C control D understand 35. Researchers think A artificial smells help to improve people’s memory B the technology to produce artificial smells is in the early stage C artificial smells are harmful D the production of artificial smells is profitably第⼆篇 Spoilt for Choice(A级) Choice, we are given to1 believe, is a right. In daily life, people have come to expect endless situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another. In the main2, these are just irksome moments at work which demand some extra energy or brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed which coffee shop to go to. But sometimes selecting one option as opposed to another can have serious or lifelong repercussions. More complex decision-making is then either avoided, postponed, or put into the hands of the army of professionals, Iifestylecoaches, lawyers, advisors, and the like. waiting to lighten the emotional burden for a fee2. But for a good many4 people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to sell their wares5. The main impact of endless choice in people's lives is anxiety. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of consumer goods induces a sense of powerlessness, even paralysis, in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away6, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted in order to solve the problem and reduce the unease. Recent surveys in the United Kingdom have shown that a sizeable proportion of electrical goods bought per household are not really needed. The advertisers and the shareholders of the manufacturers are, nonetheless, satisfied. It is not just their availability that is the problem, but the speed with which new versions of products come on the market. Advances in design and production mean that new items are almost ready by the time that goods hit the shelves7. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The classic example is computers which are almost obsolete once they are bought. At first, there were only one or two available from a limited number of manufacturers, but now there are many companies all with not only their own products but different versions of the same machine. This makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease. into a shop and buy one thing8; no choice, no anxiety. The plethora of choice is not limited to consumer items. With the greater mobility of people around the world, people have more choice about where they want to live and work — a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, nations migrated across huge swathes of the earth in search of food, adventure, and more hospitable environments. Whole nations crossed continents and changed the face of history, So the mobility of people is nothing new. The creation of nation states and borders9 effectively slowed this process down. 36. Sometimes people ask professionals to help them make decisions because A the decisions may have serious impact on their lives B only professionals have the right to do that C they have sufficient money to pay D they have emotional problems 37. When people cannot easily decide what to buy, which of the following is the least possible choice? A Giving up B Walking away C Buying an unsuitable item D Seeking advice 38. Why do products have a short lifespan nowadays? A They are of poor quality. B They are quickly replaced with new ones. C They have too many versions. D They are not designed by computers. 39. How does migration today differ from that of the past? A People now migrate to find better jobs. B People now migrate for better life. C People now migrate for better environments. D People now have more choice about where to migrate. 40. Which of the following best expresses the writer’s view on choice? A Better more choice than no choice B Better no choice than more choice C All choice is easy D More choice, more anxiety第三篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking? Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serous debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect verysmall amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often 41. People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that A they’re popular B they’re cheap C they’re useful D they’re convenient 42. The world “detected” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by A cured B removed C discovered D caused 43. The salesman retired young because A he disliked using mobile phones B he was tired of talking on his mobile phone C he couldn’t remember simple tasks D his employer’s doctor persuaded him to 44. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies A deny the existence of mobile phone radiation B develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation C try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health D hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about 45. The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to advise people A to buy mobile phones B to update regular phones C to use mobile phones less often D to stop using mobile phones 答案解析: 第⼀篇阅读理解:the smell of money 31.

Discounters like Wal-Mart and Target had the greatest success, offering customers early bird specials, while major department stores and clothing chains only met modest sales goals. Online sales were also strong.“It was as expected. It wasn’t a source of great prosperity, but it was a good start,”said Nevill, a man in a US retail consulting firm. He said, “One thing we often heard was that only things marked down (降价) were selling. Consumers want a bargain, especially around the holiday.”Shoppers did seem to like the many markdowns. A lady in the State of Connecticut said, “I’ve never seen so many sales. I feel like a kid in a candy store.”Nevill estimated that discounters had a 4% gain over last year’s Thanksgiving figure, while sales at department stores and mall based clothing chains were up 2% for the weekend. However, the Thanksgiving weekend is not necessarily a good way to judge how retailers will be successful for the season. Over the past few years, the weekend accounted for less than 10% of sales.Online merchants also had a good weekend. Sales were up 61% last Friday, compared to the day after Thanksgiving a year ago.36. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, people bought a lot more than usual because .A.

From the context we know that Wal-Mart and Target are the names of two .A. food storesB. large retailersC. online servicesD. clothing chains39. By saying “I feel like a kid in a candy store”, the lady in Connecticut probably meansthat .A. she has difficulty choosing form such a wide variety ofgoodsB. she cannot decide whether she should buy some candyC. she is quite interested in buying candyD. she recalls her happy childhood days40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Online sales were 61% higher than retailers’.B. Online merchants had an average weekend sale.C. Retailers lost much profit because of the discounts they offered.D. Retailers had an increase in sales in the Thanksgiving weekend.Task 2Directions:This task is the same as Task 1.
