2019年全国英语二级(pets2)模拟试题及答案(一)

2019年全国英语二级(pets2)模拟试题及答案(一) AWhat will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years isrelatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does notserve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.36. The passage mainly tells us that____.A. man's life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. man's organs' functions will be one the wane37. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.38. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because____A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.39. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.40. It is implied that ____.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable.BWith the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today, the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services is also steadily increasing. One of the biggest such industries is the tourist industry. Providing transportation and accommodations for tourists —— and guides, brochures, souvenirs —— is one of the major industries in many countries. Since people are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other parts of the world, this business will no doubt continue to grow. Another industry obviously devoted toleisure is entertainment. Movies, TV shows, concerts andplays are usually intended for our leisure. The same can be said of most books, except textbooks. Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time. This list could be greatly extended. But even among these industries, we have mentioned only part of the picture. The people who make the TV sets and build the theatres and tourist hotels are as much a part of the leisure industry as the singers or the hotel clerks.41. What makes leisure business important according to the passage?A. People's leisure time is increasing.B. More and more people begin to show great interests in seeing other parts of the world.C. Improved transportation and accommodation conditions.D. Longer vacations are offered than before.42. What do we know about entertainment from the passage?A. It is the biggest leisure industry.B. Movies, TV shows, concerts and books are usually intended for our leisure.C. People are usually reluctant to pay to watch professional sports.D. Making TV sets and building theatres are also part of entertainment industry.43.What's main idea of this passage?A. With people having more leisure time, tourist industry becomes the biggest industry in many countries.B. With people having more leisure time, entertainment industry becomes one of the major industries in many countries.C. With people having more leisure time, leisure business is becoming more important in economic life.D. With people having more leisure time, leisure business list is being extended.。

Question 46 (Sample for reference) Dear Mr. Max Remington , As our company is purchasing a set of equipment ,a lot of materials -have to be translated, which is impossible to do within four months. Could you advertise for two experienced translators in the newspapers? It is urgent. PART TWO Question 47 (Sample for reference) Near the end of 1994, people suddenly become rich , buying a lot of things. We have received the report that the real hourly wages of workers become even less ,so they do not have enough money to buy so many things. Although the employment is rising towards the end of 1994 ,the growth is very slow. Therefore ,not many people find jobs to earn enough money to buy goods. Then where does the big consumer confidence come from? We have discovered that people overspend with various credit cards ,buying goods. And they are not worried about returning the borrowed money. This it is ourturn to be concerned about this kind of consumer confidence. 三.听力部分 1. Cathedral 2. museums 3. special 4. Barcelona 5.

By Paul Abraham in Tokyo Results from Japan s largest petrochemicals companies for the year to March 3lst reflect the crisis facing a sector plagued by sluggish domestic demand ,overcapacity ,plunging prices and the appreciation of the yen. News of the sector s cire trading position follow this week s decision by Showa Denko to sell its polystyrene business. The company, a marginal manufacturer, sold its 30, 000 tones a year Kawasakiplant to Asahi Chemical, Japan s largest polystyrene manufacturer with capacity of about 333, 000 tones a year, equivalent to about 25 per cent of the market. The move was the latest in a series of alliances and mergers as the troubled industry restructures. Mitsubishi Petrochemical , the country s biggest plastics group , reported a loss of Y8,39bn ( $ 80m) compared with pre-tax profits last year of Y8.25bn. The group made an operating loss of Y13.8bn,the first since 1982. The poor result came despites cost-cutting measures, lower raw material prices ,and Y4bn worth of profits from equity sales. Turnover fell 12.2 per cent from Y372bn to Y326bn, as prices and volumes declined. Earnings per share, which reached Y52. 5 in 1991 , fell to a loss per share of Y9.44. The group, which is scheduled to merge with Mitsubishi Kasei on October 1st ,cut its dividend from Y8 per share to Y4. Mitsubishi Kasei s pre-tax profits fell 76. 8 per cent from Y9.3bn last year to Y2.2bn. The group reportedits first operating loss in 40 years at Y467m, and only managed to post positive pre-tax results byselling Y15. 7bn worth of equities. Turnover fell 1.8 per cent ,the fourth yearly decline ,to Y696bn. The dividend was halved to Y3 per share. Mr. Morihisa Takano ,managing director, said the newly merged group would generate pre-tax profits of Y10bn on sales ofY855 bn during the year to March 1995. He predicted petrochemicals prices would bottom out during the summer. No decision had been made about thedividend ,but the new company could pass it during the current year, he Pre-tax profits at Mitsui Petrochemical industries, Japan s biggest polyethylene maker, plunged 75 per cent from Y9bn to Y2. 26bn on sales down 9. 3 per cent at Y272bn. The company blamed poor demand for the slump which offset the benefits of cost-cutting measures. The dividend is unchanged at Y6 per share. The group forecast pre-tax profits for the current year marginally up at Y3bn on turnover ofY276bn. Shin-Etsu, one of Japan s biggest makers of polyvinyl chloride , reported profits down 26.1 per cent from Y17. 6bn to Y13bn. Sales increased 0. 2 per cent from Y275bn to Y276bn. Net profits fell 26. 6 percent to Y7.08bn, or Y21.85 per share. The group maintained the final dividend at Y3.75, making thefull-year pay out Y7.5 per share. Shin-Etsu forecast pre-tax profits for the current year of Y15.5bn on sales of Y277bn. The outlook for the petrochemicals industry remains bleak. The imbalance between supply and demand for ethylene, the basic building block of petrochemicals ,is about 2.8m tones of ethylene and is set to deteriorate further this year. A massive 700,000-tonne-a-year ethylene complex owned by Maruzen ,Mitsui Petrochemical and Sumitomo Chemical comes on stream later this year and Mitsubishi Petrochemical is also commissioning a new 300,000-tonne-a -year plant this year.。

Read this text about the problem of Barclays Bank.The New LookWhen Sir John Quinton, then chairman of Barclays Bank, was given his marching orders last April, Britain's biggest bank thought it had found the scapegoat for its sudden fall from grace and profits, Andrew Buxton, the bank's managing director and an offspring of its founding families, was a pointed chairman and chief executive, with effect from January 1st of next year. It seemed a glorious victory for good business management. Is the problem solve do certainly not.1. No sooner had Mr. Buxton been appointed chairman and chief executive than big shareholders and quite a few board members began quietly to question his ability to do both jobsat once. Now, weeks before he is due to move up, the questions are louder. Many wish the bank had seized the opportunity Lasy April to separate the two top posts. And privately. Some wonder whether Mr. Buxton is the right man for either one. What started as a thoroughly British Whispering Campaign has assumed much bigger dimensions..2. Mr. Buxton has suffered it all, but in truth he has no way out. After weeks of talking to shareholders and discussing with his non-executive directors, he has accepted that Barclays will separate the top jobs sometimes in the future. How7 He says that there has been no formal discussion of it in the boardroom.3. Formally or informally, it has been agreed that Mr. Buxton will not be moved from his chairmanship, and that Barclays must find a strong chief executive. Opinions differ as to whether this person should be chosen from inside or outside the bank. Several board members believe that there is no ideal candidate inside Barclays.4. Neither shareholders nor non-executive directors want to wait long. If the right candidate can be found, the bank could combine the announcement of a new appointment with its annual results at the end of March. Mr. Buxton stressed the importance of getting this next step right, particularly since any appointment will mean overturning a management reorganization that was announced only eight months ago.Questions 13-16.

Secondly ,in the 1990s , house wives are more free from the heavy housework with more and more household utensils. Families are very happy to spend holidays outside with mothers or wives.Thirdly, travelling abroad can also mean enjoying comfortable weather in another country. Therefore less people go to crowded seaside ,they turn to other ways.三. 听力部分1. NO 212. 721881553. 256KB4. 35. Parker6. heart7. April 8. 9:30am 9. motorized10. 2 11 . Green . 12. 120313. B 14. A 15.

Part Three.Questions 23 to 30.Retailer: A person's life style has a significant effect on the purcharsing process. So how do I determine and understand the life style of my target market?Sociologist : The consumer's activities , interests ,and opinions or AIO can be used to analyze life styles and their impact on purchase behavior. Activities, interests, and opinions are especially useful when they can be related to demographic data. Grouping people according to these threecriteria will reveal substantial differences in product usage ,time spent shopping, enjoyment of shopping experience, location and hours of the store, and so on. A typical consumer AIO survey would include questions on membership , hobbies, travel, shopping, work, and entertainment activities , involvement in the home , the family, and community interests and feelings about economics, politics, and advertising. The use of the AIO measurement has also been called psychographics ;it is in the early stages of development.Retailer :So the AIO survey of consumers is not enough. What else should I pay attention to? Sociologist: Culture, social class, reference groups and class consciousness are social dimensions of life style that have an impact on purchasing behavior. A person's culture affects the importance of family ,religion ,education and other concerts. North Americans act differently than South Americans or Europeans because of their cultural heritage. For example, in the United States, purchasing decisions are more decentralized; religion has a declining impact on behavior. From a retailing perspective, the norms or standards of behavior that are influenced by culture are most important. Culture has an impact on all aspects of the purchasing process.Retailer : How does social classes influence a person's purchasing behavior?Sociologist: Lower-class consumers have limited information sources and seek local, friendly retailers. Middle class consumers utilize media information and extensive search. They are willing to shop out of their neighborhoods. Upper-class consumers use media information and shop at prestige stores. For products or services that are conspicuous, reference groups have an important role in the purchasing process. Those reference groups that are face-to-face have the most impact on the purchasing process. The different types and uses of reference groups need to be understood, As an example, one’s neighbors are a membership reference group. However ,a retailer must distinguish between the use of neighbors as a reference group by suburbanites and the use by city dwellers. The suburbanite will follow his or her neighbors and know them much better. City dwellers are more independent and know little about their neighbors.Retailer: Don’t you think motives are very important in purchasing behavior?Sociologist : Yes.

Today most credit cards are issued by banks or other financial institutions in cooperation with Visa International or Master-Card International. The unique feature of credit cards is that they extend a line of credit to the cardholders. For the consumer, credit cards permit the purchase of goods and services even when the funds are insufficient. If there is a problem with the products or services you buy with your credit card, you have an opportunity to withhold payment by asking the credit card company to “charge back” to the retailer until the dispute is settled. It’s important to choose a credit card carefully because terms and conditions vary widely. Annual fees in America range from $15 to $75 a year, but some credit card companies charge no annual fees at all. If you don’t pay off your credit card transactions in full each month, look for the card with the lowest interest rate. Interest rates generally range from 12 to 18 percent, though it is possible to find cards with lower rates. However, a credit card can be your enemy because it is an invitation to purchase items you do not really need.Q18. What is the unique feature of credit cards?Q19. What’s the maximum annual fee for a credit card in America according to the passage?Q20. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?。

Please arrange our meeting on 26th June.PART TWOQuestion 47(Sample for reference )After careful survey, we can see clearly from the chart that our cars have more models and colours than those of Quaker Company, our main competitor with higher quality. However, Quaker Company's income increases more quickly. What is the reason? First , Quaker Company spends much more money in advertising. I suggest we advertise on BTV, the most popular broadcasting station nowadays. Secondly , we should enlarge the scope of our after-sales service. We can open more service stations in many medium-sized cities. Thirdly ,if we have more money, We can hire more salesmen to sell cars directly to the customes, especially, more salesmen in medium-sized cities.三. 听力部分1. Davis2. Monday3. HI 834. curly5. Hanover6.

The power of speech is one of the most important possessions of the human race. It makes possible the exchange of ideas between men possible as well as the transmission of ideas from father to son.Part Three. Questions 23 to 30.Interviews conducted by members of the ECE, (Economic Committee of Europe) with enterprises engaged in third-market cooperation have identified several areas in which problems occurred. Many of these problems are characteristic of the particular industrial sector in which the cooperation takes place and cannot be generalized to supply to other sectors.When vehicles and machinery made under cooperation arrangements are launched on new markets, substantial modifications may have to be made in basic features. Such changesmay be dictated by a lack of servicing facilities for the prescribed frequency of service for the standard model and an operating environment that is different form that prevailing in either of the partner's home markets. Since acceptance of the product in question by the client depends upon the manufacturer successfully satisfying his specifications, the partners must closely coordinate their ordering procedures in such a way that these changed specifications are communicated in time to the manufacturing plants. If the producing enterprise has a long lead time as a result of internal planning procedures, it may find it difficult to make the necessary changes in the standard model during the time available, to the detriment of its relations with clients in the third market. Clearly, this is an area in which effective managerial techniques can prevent such problems from arising.Rapid fluctuations in demand are characteristic of the market for many of the chemical products manufactured under east-west cooperation arrangement. In order to respond to such shifts in demand, the supplying enterprise must remain in close touch with the market, either directly or through its western partner, in order to adjust its production schedules to take these shifts into account. Otherwise it may find itself with large inventories of unsaleable products while its partner may be in the difficult position of hastening to find4nalternativemarket for the amounts no longer required by the target market.In the turnkey-plant sector, partner enterpriese often discover that they derive totally different results from using the same local subcontractors. According to several western plant contractors interviewed, while the eastern partner obtained complete satisfaction from local suppliers, the western partner found little cooperation, forthcoming long delivery delays, and other shortcomings. This difference usually arises in the case of developing countries in which the western firm has no experience and the eastern enterprise may have been active for many years. Obviously in such cases it is recommended that the western firm rely on its partner's established links with local suppliers instead of attempting to deal with them on its own.Consumer goods make under cooperation arrangements and supplied to third markets often pass through a period of poor buyer acceptance, which is due to inappropriate or insufficient packaging. Since many branded consumer goods are distinguished from one another at the point of sale mainly by their packages ,the key to the successful introduction of a new product in a third market is correct assessement of consumer preferences. This assessment can best be carried out in the market-place by using up-to-date techniques for measuring buyer response to package shape,。
