Each passage is followed by 5 questions

13、 or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET._Amtrak (美国铁客运公司) was experiencing a downswing in riders hip (客运量) along the l

14、ines comprising its rail system. Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining significantly.At one time, trains were the only practical way to cross the vast areas of the west. Trains were fast, very luxur

15、ious, and quite convenient compared to other forms of transportation existing at the time. However, times change and the automobile became Americas standard of convenience. Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances. Therefore, the task for DDB

16、Needham was to encourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west. Two portions of the total market were targeted: 1) anxious fliersthose concerned with safety, relaxation

17、, and cleanliness and 2) travel-loversthose viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experience as part of their vacation. The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel experiences such as freedom, escape, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoo

18、rs. It stressed experiences gained by using the trains and portrayed western train trips as wonderful adventures. Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of these trains (Empi

19、re Builder, etc. ). These ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to most effectively reach target audiences. Results were impressive. The Empire Builder, which was focused on in one ad, enjoyed a 15 percent increase in profits

20、on its Chicago to Seattle route.（分数：6.00）(1).Whats the authors purpose in writing this passage?（分数：2.00）A.To show the inability of trains to compete with planes with respect to speed and convenience.B.To stress the influence of the automobile on Americas standard of convenience.C.To emphasize the fu

21、nction of travel agencies in market promotion.D.To illustrate the important role of persuasive communication in changing consumer attitudes.(2).It can be inferred from the passage that the drop in Amtrak ridership was due to the fact that_.（分数：2.00）A.trains were not suitable for short distance passe

22、nger transportationB.trains were not the fastest and most convenient form of transportationC.trains were not as fast and convenient as they used to beD.trains could not compete with planes in terms of luxury and convenience(3).The train ads were placed among family-oriented TV programs involving nat

23、ure and America because_.（分数：2.00）A.they could focus on meaningful travel experiencesB.they could increase the effectiveness of the TV programsC.their profits could be increased by some 15 percentD.most travel-lovers and nervous fliers were believed to be among the audiencesJob sharing refers to the

24、 situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the jobs wages, its h

25、olidays and its other benefits. Of course, some job sharers take a smaller or larger share of the responsibilities of the position, receiving a lesser or greater share of the benefits. Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and profes

26、sional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment. Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number o

27、f unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities. As would be expected, women constitute the bulk of job sharers. A surve

28、y carried out in 1988 by Britains Equal Opportunities Commission revealed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had chil

29、dren, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence. The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from c

30、onventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interestin

31、g ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.（分数：10.00）(1).“Employee commitment“ in Paragraph 2 refers to the employees_.（分数：2.00）A.qualificationB.loyaltyC.experienceD.achievement(2).Work sharing is different from

32、job sharing in that_.（分数：2.00）A.it requires more working hoursB.it provides more work positionsC.it depends on the employers decisionD.it offers a more satisfactory salary(3).Job sharing is popular with young mothers mainly because_.（分数：2.00）A.they can take care of both work and familyB.they are ove

33、r ideal working agesC.they seek equal opportunities with menD.they have difficulty finding full-time jobs(4).In job sharing the partners should_.（分数：2.00）A.be social equalsB.be intimate friendsC.know each other very wellD.have similar working experience(5).The main purpose of the passage is to_.（分数：

34、2.00）A.recommend job sharing to womenB.discuss a way to tackle unemploymentC.criticize job sharing as inefficientD.describe job sharing in generalUnless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. Asteroids a

35、re bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and dont threaten us. But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $ 40 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year fo

36、r the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, well have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldnt be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when j

37、udging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 400, 000 years. Sounds pretty rarebut if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we dont take c

38、are of these big asteroids, theyll take care of us,“ says one scientist. “Its that simple.“ The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet s

39、et against them,“ said a New York Times article.（分数：12.00）(1).What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?（分数：2.00）A.They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B.They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.C.There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D.Asteroids are more mysterious

40、than meteoroids.(2).What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?（分数：2.00）A.It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B.Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.C.Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.D.Its still too early to say wh

41、ether such a collision might occur.(3).What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids?（分数：2.00）A.It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.B.It may create more problems than it might solve.C.It is a waste of money because a collision of as

42、teroids with Earth is very unlikely.D.Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.(4).We can conclude from the passage that_.（分数：2.00）A.while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the worldB.asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the

43、near futureC.the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetimeD.workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth(5).Which of the following best describes the authors tone in this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Optim

44、istic.B.Critical.C.Objective.D.Arbitrary.(6).In the first sentence of Paragraph 4, the word “favor“ can be best replaced by_.（分数：2.00）A.likeB.supportC.fond ofD.be in favor ofBelieve it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes

45、on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形) painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C

46、. is planning to repeat Japans success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic acci

47、dents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest-curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cu

48、t the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic acc
