　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

　　The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion.They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak.What you produce is for sale on the market.It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.

　　In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions.In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting ( 报价 ), what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we ean make use of in doing this sort of work.The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations.

　　Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.

　　Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information.The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities.Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.

Passage 2

　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

　　What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic,such as health and education facilities.

　　We may think of all of these as our needs.Yet most of us would be far from satisfiedif we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books,sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays.So we must add our wants to our basic needs.Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.

　　But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in manycountries now, Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter.Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.

　　26.What we need in life is pided into (　　)according to this article.

　　B.the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller

　　C.a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged

　　A.can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelter

　　B.can say the television must be in the basic necessities

　　C.cannot say the television is in the basic necessities

　　D.can say every family must have one

　　Passage 3

　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

　　To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.It's a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes( as long as you're not held up at the airport) ,but it's an expensive way to travel.You can travel by hovercraft if you don't mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise you can go by boat, if you forget your sea-sickness ills. All these means of transport have their problems and the weary(不耐烦的) traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car." Not possible", you say, Well, wait a minute.People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.

　　This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide ar all link only.

　　Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC(欧供体) ? Well, perhaps.The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London's disused dockland(船坞地) .A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize (使…重新有活力 ) the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With alink over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England, and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm!

　　31.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A.Swimming across the Channel takes tess than four hours

　　B.The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one

　　32.A tunnel would be (　　).

　　A.less expensive to be built than a bridge

　　B.only take a train

　　C.either take a train or go by car

　　D.only take a bus

　　34.It can be concluded that many of London's dockyards are (　　).

　　B.make the journey from Europe to England dangerous but easier and faster

Passage 4

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

　　Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate.While this law is not without humor by today's standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by.

　　In today's society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit.Why do people try to take their own lives?

　　The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath (暴怒) , the needfor attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict(描写) the typical victim.To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.

　　In theUnited States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.People who are bitter, worded, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers.These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion.The accomplishments of these centers, insofar(到这个程度) as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems.So, in the somewhat amorphous(难以名状的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.

　　36.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

　　A.The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicide

　　B.Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world

　　C.In today's society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide

　　B.It is difficult to describe what kind of people tend to commit suicide

　　C.Suicide has been a problem in most societies since ancient times

　　D.People who commit suicide all share certain characteristics

　　39.The word"benevolent" means (　　).

　　A.relevant

　　B. kind

　　C. serious

　　D. effective

　　40.The third paragraph mainly tells us that (　　).

　　A.a network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicide

　　Passage l

　　21.【解析】A。细节题。答案在文章的第二段可以找到。“在市场调查中我们应该了解我们的对手生产类似产品的情况，他们的报价，他们产品的特征，谁是他们的固定消费者等等。”随后提到“Then，how can we obtain such information?”可见B、C、D都不符合题意，只有A能包括这些内容。

　　22.【解析】B。词汇题。indispensable必不可少的，必须的，通常和介词to连接。如：A computer is indispensable to modem office work.现代办公没有电脑不行。所以只有B的意思最接近。

　　23.【解析】D。细节题。D的意思是“生产先于市场调查”不符合文章的内容。

　　24.【解析】D。细节题。根据文章第二段的内容：“在国际市场上，来自世界各地的商品很多，商家面临着激烈的竞争。在这种情况下，他们要想尽一切办法来使自己熟悉市场，才能打开销路。”所以只有D的内容最全面。

　　25.【解析】B。细节题。文章第三段末尾和第四段都谈到了获得市场信息的渠道一一驻外使馆里设立商务参赞;经常向国外派贸易代表团：和外商进行面对面的谈判。惟独没有提到自己产品的质量。所以B是错误的。

　　Passage 2

　　26.【解析】A。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段作者举的例子，基本需求的概念是可以改变的，20年前电视是一种奢侈品，但现在也已经成为了一种生活必需品。可见，在作者看来，有两种生活需求，一种是生活必需品，另一种就是奢侈品。所以选A。

　　27.【解析】A。事实细节题。根据文章第一段的第三句，要想持久地得到生活必需品，必须有一份可靠的收入。

　　28.【解析】B。事实细节题。文章第二段提到，大多数人都不会仅仅满足于这些基本需要，我们都愿意再有一些额外的收入。所以应选B。

　　29.【解析】A。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段所举的例子，基本需求的概念是可以改变的，20年前电视是一种奢侈品，但现在也已经成为了一种生活必需品。可见奢侈品可转化成生活必需品。所以选A。其他选项文章都未提到。

　　30.【解析】A。事实细节题。根据文章倒数第二句，如果全国大多数人都拥有电视的话，那么电视可视作一种必需品 所以选A。

　　Passage 3

　　31.【解析】C。推理判断题。可用排除法：开篇第一句已清楚地说明游过英吉利海峡至少要九小时，所以A说少于四小时是不对的;第一段最后一句中有一个非常重要的词，就是again。既然是again就说明建隧道、修大桥已不是新想法了，B也随之被淘汰;根据文章第二段第一句，隧道可直达伦敦，不只到海岸线，D也排除了。而cC是正确的，游过去当然要比坐船、乘飞机困难多了。

　　32.【解析】A。事实细节题。根据文章第二段第二句，建隧道要比建大桥便宜得多。

　　33.【解析】B。事实细节题。根据文章第二段第二句，隧道里只能供火车行走。

　　34.【解析】A。事实细节题。根据文章第三段第四句，伦敦的船坞地都是disused(废弃不用的)。

　　35.【解析】D。事实细节题。文章最后一段倒数第二句，这条路能够激活贸易，使伦敦成为欧洲的一个商业中心，所以当然会使伦敦繁荣起来。A显然低估了这条通路的作用;B、C谈到的作用都是负面的。

　　Passage 4

　　36.【解析】C。主题思想题。文章的大意是说在目前出现的自杀想象，引起自杀的原因以及提出解决的方法。很明显在把握文章大意的同时就知道C是正确的。

　　37.【解析】A。A的意思是荒唐的。第2段的第一句话说明了自杀的相关原因和动机，A文章里面没有涉及。

　　38【解析】D。A在第一段的中间提到了，B自杀的动机是很明显的，并且作者列举了几个。C中的ancient times是说在古时候就有了，也不是正确地反映作者的表达。

　　39.【解析】B。A是相关的意思，C是严重的意思，D是有效果的，有影响的。B的意思是好的慈善的意思。

　　40.【解析】C。细节题。C的含义是说人们在努力地帮助那些想自杀的人，在某种程度上他们已经取得了一定的胜利。文章的最后一句就是这个意思?

　　Part III

　　41.【解析】B。at the turn of the century“在世纪之交”，固定搭配。

　　42.【解析】C。本句意为没有人知道爵士乐是什么时候发明的，由谁发明的。invent“发明(没有的事物)”;discover“发现(已经存在的事物)”，act“行动，扮演”;design“设计”。

　　43.【解析】C。正如下文所提到的，爵士乐是与classical music(古典音乐)相对的。爵士乐(jazz)是一种自由轻松的音乐形式，因此应是流行音乐(popular music)的一种。

　　44.【解析】B。本句意为古典音乐遵循正规的欧洲传统。follow“遵循”;form“形成”;approach“接近，靠近”：introduce“引进，介绍”。

　　45.【解析】A。express“表达”，音乐是用来表达和抒发人的mood(情绪)，interest(兴趣)以及emotions(感情)的。

　　Now I am a sophomore majoring in music. I've received professional training of music, so I feel confident that after graduation I could manage and work with all of the different instrumentalists and vocalists.
