For each numbered blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. choices the b

11、est one and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. A major reason for conflict in the animal world is territory. The male animal U(21) /U an area. The size of the area is sufficient to provide food for him, his U(22) /U and their offspring. Migrating birds, for example, U(23) /U up the best territory

12、in the order of “first come, first U(24) /U .“ The late arrivals may acquire U(25) /U territories, but less food is available, or they are too close to the U(26) /U of the enemies of the species. U(27) /U there is really insufficient food or the danger is very great, the animal will not U(28) /U. In

13、 this way, the members of the species which are less fit will not have offspring.When there is conflict U(29) /U. territory, animals will commonly use force, or a U(30) /U of force, to decide which will stay and which will go. It is interesting to note, however, that animals seem to use U(31) /U the

14、 minimum amount of force U(32) /U to drive away the intruder. There is usually no killing. In the U(33) /U of those animals which are capable of doing each other great harm, U(34) /U is a system for the losing animal to show the winning animals that he U(35) /U to submit. When he shows this, the U(3

15、6) /U normally stops fighting. Animals (especially birds), which can easily escape from conflict seem to have U(37) /U obstacle against killing, and equally no mechanism U(38) /U submission. The losing bird simply flies away. However, if two doves are U(39) /U in a cage, and they start fighting, the

16、y will continue to fight until one kills the other. We all think of the dove as a symbol of peace and, in its natural habitat, it is peaceful. But the “peace“ mechanism does not U(40) /U in a cage.（分数：10.00）A.establishesB.buildsC.foundsD.erectsA.wifeB.mateC.friendD.neighborA.splitB.breakC.cutD.divid

Answer

19、the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.BPassage One/BBecause agriculture is so important to a nations well-being, governments have always been concerned with it. For example, the United States and Canada have long produced surpluses that compli

20、cate their economies. Surpluses tend to lower prices to farmers and seriously endanger the agriculture industry. Governments have instituted systems of price supports to maintain a fair price when surpluses cause prices to drop. The system in the United States is a good example. A government program

21、 supports the prices paid to farmers for grains, and other agricultural products.Support prices are based on parity, which is the ratio between the prices farmers receive for their crops and the prices they must pay for things they need. The government selected the period from 1910 to 1914 as a time

22、 when farm prices were in a fair ratio with farming costs. This is the base period now used to determine parity prices.The idea is to assure farmers that what they get for a bushel of wheat will buy the same amount of, say, seed as it did in the years of the base period; if prices drop too far below

23、 this ideal the government can help in a number of ways. For example, it may buy much of a surplus at parity prices. Governments have instituted a wide variety of other controls for prices and, also, for farm output, mainly at the request of the farmers themselves. Farm prices tend to fluctuate more

24、 than other prices do, and the incomes of farmers fluctuate along with farm prices.Various measures for maintaining farm prices and incomes include tariff or import levies, import quotas, export subsidies, direct payment to farmers, and limitations on production. All of these measures are useful and

25、 are used to some extent by most developed countries. An important example of such a program is the soil-bank plan, which aimed at limiting production while improving farmland.The European Economic Community (EEC) established a common agricultural policy (CAP) for its member nations, called the Comm

26、on Market countries. The aim is to create free trade for individual commodities within the community. When production of a commodity exceeds EEC consumption, the EEC may buy the excess for storage, pay to have it reprocessed, or export it to countries outside the Common Market. In this way the EEC c

27、an maintain its members farm prices at levels equal to or even higher than those in such market-competitive nations as the United States and Canada.（分数：10.00）(1).By saying that a countrys agricultural surpluses often “complicate“ its economy, the author means _.（分数：2.00）A.they throw the country into

28、 great disorderB.they entail more expenditure on the part of the governmentC.they usually involve direct governmental support priceD.the government has to set up special pricing systems(2).According to the passage, the parity system is used to _.（分数：2.00）A.encourage farmers to produce more grains in

29、 the futureB.lower the cost of producing agricultural productC.determine the prices below which grains will not be soldD.ensure that the farmers interest is properly protected(3).The governments impose many kinds of control for farm prices and output because _.（分数：2.00）A.farm crops are their main so

30、urces of exportB.the prices of different farm crops vary greatlyC.they are fully aware of the importance of themD.farm prices and output are very unstable(4).It can be inferred that the common agricultural policy aims to _.（分数：2.00）A.avoid competition among its member nationsB.limit production and i

31、mprove farmlandC.ensure a balance between production and consumptionD.encourage free competition among its member nations(5).Why do governments show special concern for agriculture?（分数：2.00）A.Because farm prices go up and down constantly.B.Because farmers usually earn less than other income groups.C

32、.Because there is not much arable farmland left.D.Because farmers are confronted with fiercer competition.BPassage Two/BMigration is usually defined as “permanent or semi-permanent change of residence“. However, our concern is with movement between nations, not with internal migration within nations

33、, although such movements often exceed international movements in volume. Today, the motives of people who move short distances are very similar to those of international migrants.Students of human migration speak of “push“ and “pull“ factors, which influence an individuals decision to move from one

34、 place to another. Push factors are associated with the place of origin. A push factor can be as simple and mild a matter as difficulty in finding a suitable job, or as traumatic as war, or severe famine. Obviously, refugees who leave their homes with guns pointed at their heads are motivated almost

35、 entirely by push factors (although pull factors do influence their choice of destination).Pull factors are those associated with the place of destination. Most often these are economic, such as better job opportunities or the availability of good land to farm. In general, pull factors add up to an

36、apparently better chance for a good life and material well-being than is offered by the place of origin. When there is a choice between several attractive potential destinations, the deciding factor might be a non-economic consideration such as the presence of relatives, friends, or at least fellow

37、countrymen already established in the new place who are willing to help the newcomers settle in.Besides push and pull factors, there are what the sociologists call “intervening obstacles.“ Even if push and (or) pull factors are very strong they still may be outweighed by intervening obstacles, such

38、as the distance of the move, the trouble and cost of moving, the difficulty of entering the new country, and the problems likely to be encountered on arrival. The decision to move is also influenced by “personal factors“ of the potential migrant. The prospect of packing up everything and moving to a

39、 new and perhaps very strange environment may appear interesting and challenging to an unmarried young man and appallingly difficult to a slightly older man with a wife and small kids. Similarly, the need to learn a new language and customs may excite one person and frighten another. Regardless of w

40、hy people move, migration of large numbers of people causes conflict. The United States and other western countries have experienced adjustment problems with each new wave of immigrants. It has usually taken several decades for each group to be accepted into the mainstream of society in the host cou

41、ntry.（分数：10.00）(1).The author thinks that pull factors _.（分数：2.00）A.are all related to economic considerationsB.are not as decisive as push factorsC.include a variety of considerationsD.are more important than push factors(2).People moving within country borders are often motivated by the desire to

42、_.（分数：2.00）A.follow suitB.live close to relativesC.integrate themselves into the mainstream societyD.escape persecution(3).It is implied in the last paragraph that _.（分数：2.00）A.push and pull factors are complicated by many other considerations in migrationB.push and pull factors are less important t

43、han personal factors of the migrantsC.push factors affect the older people with families more than unmarried young peopleD.pull factors bring about fewer adjustment problems in the new settlements(4).Peoples decisions to migrate might be influenced by all the following EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.personalit

44、iesB.educationC.marital statusD.abilities(5).The purpose of the passage is to discuss _.（分数：2.00）A.the problems of international migrantsB.the motives of international migrantsC.migration inside the countryD.the adjustment problems experienced by immigrantsBPassage Three/BHow can a company improve i

45、ts sales? One of the keys to more effective selling is for a company to first decide on its “sales strategy.“ In other words, what is the role of the sales person? Is the salespersons job narrative, suggestive, or consultative?The “narrative“ sales strategy depends on the salesperson moving quickly

46、into a standard sales presentation. His or her pitch highlights the benefits for the customer of a particular product or service. This approach is most effective for customers whose buying motives are basically the same and is also well suited to companies who have a large number of prospects (可能的主顾

47、) on which to call.The “suggestive“ approach is tailored more for the individual customer. The salesperson must be in a position to offer alternative recommendations that meet a particular customers needs. One key aspect of the suggestive approach is the need for the salesperson to engage the buyer

48、in some sort of discussion. The salesperson can then use the information gleaned from the customer to suggest an appropriate product or service.“We tell our salespeople to be like wine stewards,“ says Mindy Sahlawannee, a corporate sales trainer, “the wine steward first checks to see what food the customer has ordered and then opens by suggesting the wine that best complements the dish. Most companies who use a narrative strategy should be using a suggestive strategy. Just like you cant drink red wine with every dish
