27、ion Reading Co(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)“What does the middleman do but add to the price of goods in the shops?“ The sentence comments on the middle operations between manufacturers and final customers. The middle action usually attracts a lot of attention from th
28、e public and the press. Generally speaking, the operation now talked about is what is often called wholesaling.The wholesaler buys goods in large quantities from the manufacturers and sells them in smaller parcels to retailers, and for this service his selling price to the retailer is raised several
29、 percent higher. For example, a wholesaler might purchase 5,000 pairs of work gloves and then sell 100 pairs to 50 different retailers. But his job is much more difficult because retail demand is not necessarily in accordance with manufacturers production. Therefore, he adjusts or regulates the sell
30、ing amount of goods by holding stock until required so that changing demand doesnt have an effect on the production, to some extent. Nonetheless, he has to bear the whole risk.The manufacturer can then keep up a steady production amount, and the retailer has no need to hold heavy stocks, who can cal
31、l on the wholesaler for supplies any time. This wholesale function is like that of a valve (阀门) in a water pipe. The middleman also bears part of the risk that would otherwise fall on the manufacturer and also the retailer.The wholesaler provides a purely commercial service, for which he is well rew
32、arded too. But that doesnt mean that it is the wholesaler who adds to the cost of goods. It is true that one could eliminate the wholesaler but one of his functions should be left: that of making sure that goods find their way to the people who want them. Some large wide-world famous discount chains
33、, such as Wal-Mart Store and IKEA, serve as their own wholesalers. These companies go directly to factories and-other manufacturing outlets, buy in large amounts and then warehouse and ship the goods to their stores.（分数：10.00）(1).“Middleman“ in paragraph one refers to _. A. retailer B. manufacturerC
34、. person in the middle D. wholesaler（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The wholesaler obtains higher selling prices for _. A. small parcelsB. goods he buys in large quantitiesC. the service he providesD. the information he offers（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The wholesaler regulates the selling amounts of goods by _. A. k
35、eeping in accordance with manufacturers productionB. holding down stock of commoditiesC. keeping stock for stronger demandD. adjusting the prices of goods in time（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What function of the wholesaler is compared to a valve?A. Controlling the amounts of goods.B. Pushing up demand from
36、retailers.C. Bearing part of the risk for manufacturers.D. Selling goods to retailers.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. People cannot do without the wholesalers function.B. The wholesaler does not keep stocks of goods.C. The wholesaler helps to reduce the price of goo
37、ds in shops.D. The wholesaler is well paid for his commercial service.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery”-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”-finding life enjoyable-are not always
38、identical. Women often are told “You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You chose a career, so you cant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life. “or” You have a wonderful husband and children-whats all this about wanting a career?” But women need t
39、o understand develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two dimensions. One is mastery, which includes self-esteem (自尊), a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely
40、related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other dimension, and it is composed of happiness, satisfaction and optimism (乐观)。 It is tied could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just die
41、d, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and remedy past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at t
42、he feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are critical. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women rated significantly higher in mastery than did women who not employed.A womans well-
43、being is enhanced (增进) when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages, motherhood, and employment were the highest in well-being, despite warnings about stress and strain.（分数：5.00）(1).It can be inferred form the first p
44、aragraph that _.A. for women a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure“B. for women a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery“C. women cant have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same timeD. a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasu

D. realistic.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, _.A. it will be easier for her to o
46、ver line stress and strainB. she will be more successful in her careerC. her chance of getting promoted will be greaterD. her life will be richer and more meaningful（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following can be identified as a source of “pleasure” for women?A. Family life. B. Multiple roles in

Freedom from anxiety.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The most appropriate title for the passage would be _.A. the well-being of career womenB. sources of mastery and pleasureC.

Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic and that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms; for many years. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, fir
49、st of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world, for a very large number of different complaints. The word “laser“ means: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. As we all know, light is hot, any source of light from the sun itself down to a humble match burning will give warmth. But light is usually
