Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.

Passage 1

To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on “persuasive salesmanship” to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.

Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which

simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.

This concept does not imply that business is benevolent（慈善的）or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction –the firm and the customer –and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new King Customer ruled!

31. The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, _____C_______.

[A] the practice of turning goods into money [B] making goods available for purchase

[C] the customer-centred approach [D] a form of persuasive salesmanshi

32. What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted? B

[A] The needs of the market. [B] The efficiency of production

[C] The satisfaction of the user. [D] The preferences of the dealer.

33. According to the passage, “to move as much of these goods as possible” (Lines 3-4, Para.

I) means “________A_______”.

[A] to sell the largest possible amount of goods

[B] to transport goods as efficiently as possible

[C]) to dispose of these goods in large quantities

[D] to redesign these goods for large-scale production

34 What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate D

[A] Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.

[B] It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.

[C] Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.

[D] Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.

35. In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on ___A________.

[A] its main characteristic

[B] its social impact

[C] its possible consequence

[D] its theoretical basis

Passage 2

Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is “Don't!”. But it is useless to try to discourage

someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, publicity(宣传), taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny.

Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon

36．From the very beginning, the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession___A___.

[A] sought after by too many people

[B] too difficult for young people

[C] for ambitious people only

[D] for young people only

37. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of an assistant stage manager's job? D

[B] Taking care of the dress to be worn on the stage by an actor or actress.

[C] Helping advertise plays.

[D] Collecting tickets.

38.The film producer found Connie Pratt one morning when she was ___D___ .

[A] working in a bicycle factory

[A] the most famous actress of the world

[B] playing the leading female role in a play

[C] as famous as the greatest actor of the world

[D] no less famous than the leading actor of the day

40. The concluding sentence“chances like this happen once in a blue moon”means ____D___.

[A] this is something which happens once in a while

[B] this is a highly profitable chance

[C] this is something highly possible

[D] this is a very rare chance

Passage 3

Different countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he enjoys it.

We should like to find out the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered(举止粗鲁). But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.

Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do. He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. He is always kind either to people or animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office he lines up to wait his turn. In the bus, he gives his seat to an older person or a lady who is standing. If he accidently bumps into(碰，撞)someone, or gets in their way, he says “Excuse me”or “I’m sorry”. He says “Please”when making a request, and “Thank you”when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not talk too much about himself. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food.

41. According to the passage, a knowledge of the customs of other races __A_____.

[A] is very useful [B] is unnecessary

[C] is unimportant [D] does not mean much

42. A person with good manners thinks of ___A___.

[A] others before himself

[A] says‘Please’when making a request

[B] makes an apology for bumping into someone accidentally

[C] sits where he is when speaking to a lady

[D] tries to help those who are in trouble

[A] you laugh at people when they are in trouble

[B] it's all right to speak with your mouth full of food
