Almost immediately, consumers began switching to smaller, more fuel-efficient

17、cars, which were the strengths of the major auto importers. This shift in demand from large to smaller cars did not reverse itself later in the 1970s, and the foreign importers continued to gain market share. Detroits efforts to produce competitive small cars were limited by its continuing expectati

18、on that large-car demand would soon resume. So only slowly did the domestic industry put its resources into small-car production, resulting in inadequate supply as well as inadequate concern for quality and performance. During this period, consumers discovered that similarly priced imports generally

19、 offered better performance and fewer problems than US-produced cars. According to a recently-made study named Some Estimates for Major Automotive Producers, even GM, the most cost-efficient US producer averages close to $900 more per car than the least cost-efficient Japanese producer, Toyota. Noti

20、ce the single most important factor in Japanese competitiveness is not government subsidies(津贴 ) or a policy of “dumping“ cars in the US market. Rather, it is labor cost. This difference of almost $2,000 per car favors the Japanese producers so strongly that all other comparisons virtually can be ig

21、nored. 30 When did customers begin to prefer smaller cars? （ A） In the early 1970s. （ B） In the late 1970s. （ C） From1973 to 1994. （ D） In 1994. 31 The word “reverse“ in paragraph 1, can be replaced by （ A） change （ B） increase （ C） keep （ D） continue 32 Why did Detroit put only limited resources in

22、to small-car production? （ A） Smaller cars are much more costly to produce. （ B） It was not able to make high quality smaller cars. （ C） It was good at producing large cars. （ D） It expected the coming back of the market for large cars. 33 Which of the following was NOT true of the small US-produced

23、 cars compared with the imported ones? （ A） They were higher in cost. （ B） They were inadequately supplied. （ C） They had lower fuel-efficiency. （ D） They had fewer problems. 34 Which one is the decisive factor in Japanese competitiveness? （ A） Government policy. （ B） Labor cost. （ C） Market demand.

24、 （ D） Dumping policy. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 34 Man finds living together with his own species(物种 ) difficult enough and living together with other species almost impossible. Our usual solution is to ki

25、ll off anything that get in our way. Even on those rare occasions when we do enter into a relationship with another species, it is heavily biased(带有倾向 )in our favor. The other species benefits only when it suits our own interests. Our attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly

26、 with giving orders in our own language and having them obeyed. Probably our best attempt has been the whistle language that is used in the shepherd-sheepdog relationship. This is a system that is natural to neither species, but one that both can understand. Its only fault lies in fact that the bias

27、 is still there the dog cannot whistle for the man. But now comes news of a piece of research that promises, for the first time, to open up two-way communication between man and another species. At the University of Nevada in the western United States, animated (活跃的 ) conversations are being held wi

28、th a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩 ) called Washoe. Allen and Beatrice Gardener have succeeded in doing this because they have used an entirely new approach, an approach based on the natural abilities of the chimpanzee. Past attempts to communicate with chimpanzees have failed because the researchers

29、 tried to make their animals use a vocal language. 35 According to the writer, when man finds it impossible to live together with other species, he usually_. （ A） tries to communicate with them （ B） tries to teach them a language （ C） sets up a relationship with them （ D） wipes them out 36 According

30、 to the writer, we communicate with animals in an attempt to_. （ A） set up a relationship with them （ B） make them do what we want （ C） get along well with them （ D） teach them a language 37 The writer implies that the shepherd-sheepdog whistle language is still biased because_. （ A） it can only be

31、used to give orders （ B） it is not natural for both shepherd and sheepdog （ C） it is a one-way communication approach （ D） it can only be used between man and dog 38 Allen and Beatrice Gardener managed to communicate with the chimpanzee by_. （ A） training the chimpanzee to learn human language in an

32、 entirely new method （ B） creating a language both man and the chimpanzee were able to use （ C） using animal s vocal language which the chimpanzee was able to understand （ D） learning the chimpanzee s language with an entirely new approach 39 It can be inferred from the passage that_. （ A） in the fu
