17、数：0.00)三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The days when the only fender a businessman needed to stave off a midlife crisis was on the end of a Ferrari are gone. This year he needs to dig deep and purchase the Fender Jazz Bass he dreamed of as an acne-ridden youth. Guitars have seen a massive resurgence in

18、 the past few years, propping up the music retail industry and overtaking the keyboard. Sales of electric guitars have jumped 30 per cent in two years, bass guitars 11 per cent in the past 12 months. Barry Moorhouse, whose bass and acoustic centre, House of Guitars, has long been a Mecca for rock st

19、ars, recognized the trend and relocated his business to Bmne Street on the edge of the city. The wisdom of the move was evident at the new shops opening when insurance brokers and IT consultants appeared at his door like disciples drawn to a shrine. Silently they stood eyeing the gleaming rainbow of

20、 guitars-angular or curvaceous, simple or ostentatious.Charlie Pearch, 46, a customer, explained: “Im having a midlife crisis. First I bought a Harley Davidson and then I thought I would learn to play the guitar. My wife thinks its better to have a motorbike and play the guitar than chase young girl

21、s.“ Seven months ago, Mr. Pearch went into a guitar shop to avoid the rain. A short while later he left with a pounds 800 Fender Stratocaster. Mr. Moorhouse, 49, believes the generation that grew up with guitar bands is now intent on recapturing its youth, with the added bonus that a father can shar

22、e his interest with his son. “Nowadays they can indulge that passion because they have the disposable income,“ Mr. Moorhouse said. “I get fathers and sons in here who listen to the same music.“ Brightly lit and gleaming, the new shop is a far cry from what one might expect of a music lovers haunt. M

23、r. Moorhouse has already endured accusations of “guitars at Gap“ from his more tradition-al clientele. But when your customers are spending pounds 1,000 or more on an instrument they do not expect grange, he explained.And these guitars are not just toys for the boys. City bankers can expect a good i

24、n-vestment return from their instruments. Nine years ago Barry McCormack, an IT project manager, spent pounds 400 on a 1955 Gibson Les Paul. It is now worth pounds 5,000. Mr McCormack said: “People like me are recapturing their youth but they are also buying these guitars as an alternative investmen

25、t to a pension./（分数：10.00）(1).Which statement is WRONG according to the opening paragraph?A. Ferrari was the only way that helped businessmen beat a midlife crisis before.B.

30、.C.D.四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Direct advertising includes all forms of sales appeals, mailed, delivered, or exhibited directly to the prospective buyer of an advertised product or service, without use of any indirect medium, such as newspapers or television. Direct advertising logically may be di

31、vided into three broad classifications, namely, direct-mail advertising, mail order advertising, and unmailed direct advertising.All forms of sales appeals that are sent through the mails are considered direct-mall advertising. The chief functions of direct-mail advertising are to familiarize prospe

32、ctive buyers with a product, its name, its maker, and its merits and with the products local distributors. The direct-mall appeal is designed also to support the sales activities of retailers by encouraging the continued patronage of both old and new customers.When no personal selling is involved, o

33、ther methods are needed to persuade people to send in orders by mail. In addition to newspapers, magazines, radio, and television, other special devices, order promotions are designed to accomplish a complete selling job without salespeople.Used for the same broad purposes as direct-mail advertising

34、, unrolled direct-mail advertising, includes all forms of indoor advertising displays and all printed sales appeals distributed from door to door, handed to customers in retail stores or conveyed in some other manner directly to the recipient.With each medium competing keenly for its share of the bu

35、siness, advertising agencies continue to develop new techniques for displaying and selling wares and services. Among these techniques have been vastly improved printing and reproduction methods in the graphic field, adapted to magazine advertisements and to direct-mail enclosures; the use of color i

36、n newspaper advertisements and in television; and outdoor signboards more attractively designed and efficiently lighted. Many subtly effective improvements are suggested by advertising research.（分数：5.00）(1).Direct advertising _.A. includes all forms of sales appeals to the prospective buyerB. is pro

41、数：1，分数：6.00)Despite Denmarks manifest virtues, Danes never talk about how proud they are to be Danes. This would sound weird in Danish. When Danes talk to foreigners about Denmark, They always begin by commenting on its tininess, its unimportance, the difficulty of its language, the general small-mi

42、ndedness and self-indulgence of their countrymen and the high taxes. No Dane would look you in tire eye and say, “Denmark is a great country.“ Youre supposed to figure this out for yourself.It is the land of the silk safety net, where almost half the national budget goes toward smoothing out lifes i

43、nequalities, and there is plenty of money for schools, day care, retraining programs, job seminars-Danes love seminars: Three days at a study center hearing about waste management is almost as good as a ski trip. It is a culture bombarded by English, in advertising, pop music, the Internet, and desp

44、ite all the English that Danish absorbs-there is no Danish Academy to defend against it-old dialects persist in Jutland that can barely be understood by Copenhageners. It is the land where, as the saying goes, “Few have too much and fewer have too little,“ and a foreigner is struck by the sweet egal

45、itarianism that prevails, where the lowliest clerk gives you a level gaze, where Sir and Madame have disappeared from common usage, even Mr. and Mrs. Its a nation of recyclersabout 55% of Danish garbage gets made into something new-and no nuclear power plants. Its a nation of tireless planners. Trai

46、ns run on time. Things operate well in general.Such a nation of over-achievers-a brochure from the Ministry of Business and Industry says, “Denmark is one of the worlds cleanest and most organized countries, with virtually no pollution, crime, or poverty. Denmark is the most corruption-free society

47、in the Northern hemisphere.“ So, of course, ones heart lifts at any sighting of Danish sleaze: skinhead graffiti on buildings (“Foreigners Out of Denmark!“), broken beer bottles in the gutters, drunken teenagers slumped in the park.Nonetheless, it is an orderly land. You drive through a Danish town,

48、 it comes to an end at a stone wall, and on the other side is a field of barley, a nice clean line: town here, country there. It is not a nation of jaywalkers. People stand on the curb and wait for the red light to change, even if its 2 a.m. and theres not a car in sight. However, Danes dont think o

49、f themselves as a waiting-at-2-a, m.-for-the-green-light peoplethats how they see Swedes and Germans. Danes see themselves as jazzy people, improvisers, more free spirited than Swedes, but the troth is (though one should not say it) that Danes are very much like Germans and Swedes. Orderliness is a main selling poin
