20、he difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago,most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods,and then relied on “Persuasive salesmanship“to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to pr

21、oduce goods and then convert them into money. Marketing,on the other hand,focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the consumer approach is known as the marketing concept,wh

22、ich simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale,the makers and dealers first try to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it according to consumer demand. This concept does not imply that consumer satisfaction is given prior

23、ity over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business activitythe firm and the customer, each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producer and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers,however, recognize that the s

24、urest route to profit is through understanding customers,this concept has been recognized in such slogans as“Have It Your Way.“And“Youre the Boss. “A good example of the importance of satisfying the consumer presented itself in mid 1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-accept

25、ance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed a-longside the new. King Customer ruled! 41 A good knowledge of the difference between marketing and selling leads to_. （ A） the efficient production of goods

26、 （ B） a perfect command of salesmanship （ C） a basic command of the marketing concept （ D） the conversion of goods into money 42 Not too long ago, industries focused on_. （ A） producing and selling goods （ B） the needs and wants of customers （ C） the selling of new products （ D） moving goods to the

27、market 43 The very core of marketing lies in_. （ A） all understanding of consumer needs （ B） the efficient movement of goods （ C） developing new wants for consumer goods （ D） making goods readily available to customers 44 A successful business deal can take place only when_. （ A） the customer is sat

28、isfied at the expense of the company （ B） a company makes a big profit （ C） consumer satisfaction and company profit are given equal importance （ D） priority is given to the requirements of the customer 45 The last sentence of the passage suggests that_. （ A） the consumer should be allowed to do thi

29、ngs his own way （ B） the consumer should be treated like a king （ C） the consumer should have the final say in the selling of any product （ D） the consumer should be advised on what to buy 45 The biosphere is the name biologists give to the sort of skin on the surface of this planet that is inhabita

30、ble by living organisms. Most land creatures occupy only the interface between the atmosphere and the land;birds extend their range for a few hundred feet into the atmosphere;burrowing invertebrates (无脊椎动物 ) such as earthworms may reach a few yards into the soil but rarely penetrate farther unless,

31、it has been recently disturbed by men. Fish cover a wider range,from just beneath the surface of the sea to those depths of greater than a mile inhabited by specialized creatures. Fungi (真菌 ) and bacteria are plentiful in the atmosphere to a height of about half a mile,blown there by winds from the

32、lower air. Balloon exploration of the stratosphere (同温层 ) as long ago as 1936 indicated that moulds and bacteria could be found at heights of several miles,recently the USAs National Aeronautics and Space Administration has detected them,in decreasing numbers,at heights up to eighteen miles. They ar

33、c pretty sparse at such levels, about one for every two thousand cubic feet, compared with 50 to 100 per cubic foot at two to six miles (the usual altitude of jet aircraft),and they are almost certainly in an inactive state. Marine bacteria have been detected at the bottom of the deep Pacific trench

34、,sometimes as deep as seven miles; they are certainly not inactive. Living microbes have also been obtained on land from cores of rock drilled (while prospecting for oil) at depths of as much as 1,200 feet. Thus we can say, disregarding the exploits of astronauts, that the biosphere has a maximum th

35、ickness of about twenty-five miles. Active living processes occur only within a compass of about seven miles,in the sea, on land and in the lower atmosphere, but the majority of living creatures live within a zone of a hundred feet or so. If this planet Were sealed down to the size of an orange,the

36、biosphere,at its extreme width,would occupy the thickness of the orange-colored skin,excluding the pith. In this tiny zone of our planet takes place the multitude of chemical and biological activities that we call life. The way in which living creatures interact with each other, depend on each other

37、 or compete with each other, has fascinated thinkers since the beginning of recorded history. Living things exist in a fine balance which is often taken for granted, from a practical point of view, things could not be otherwise. Yet it is a source of continual amazement to scientists because of its

38、intricacy and delicacy. The balance of nature is obvious most often when it is disturbed. Yet even here it can seem remarkable how quickly it readjusts itself to a new balance after a disturbance. The science of ecologythe study of the interaction of organisms with their environmenthas grown up to d

39、eal with the minutiae of the balance of nature. 46 According to the passage,the“biosphere“is the layer on the earths surface_. （ A） where the atmosphere meets the sea （ B） in which birds, fish and animals would die （ C） in which plant and animal life can exist （ D） in which earthworms and other inve

40、rtebrates can live 47 The writer states that fungi and bacteria_. （ A） are only found below the normal altitude of jet planes （ B） have been found well at the normal altitude of jet planes （ C） are not found below the surface of the earth （ D） are mainly found below the surface of the earth 48 The p

41、assage says that the biosphere_. （ A） extends only 1,200 feet below the earths surface （ B） is about seven miles in width （ C） is as much as twenty-five miles in thickness （ D） is a zone only about one hundred feet wide 49 According to the text, the balance of nature is_. （ A） something which we sho

42、uld not take for granted （ B） most frequently apparent when it is upset （ C） only now becoming of interest to scientists （ D） very difficult to preserve 50 The writer says that ecology is primarily concerned with the_. （ A） freer details of the balance of nature （ B） role of organisms in the environ

43、ment （ C） way living creatures compete with each other （ D） way nature readjusts to a new balance 50 As children get older, self-discipline should take the place of imposed discipline. Constrains become internalized and children begin to weigh from within the validity of their promptings(敦促 ). But t

44、heir tendency to be self-critical,to develop a code of their own,depends on the extent to which they must have kept critical company. The dialogue within reflects the dialogue without that is why discussion is so important during adolescence. Those in authority over children will,therefore,attempt t

45、o get children to do what is sensible by appealing to their common sense instead of ordering them around or appealing to their own status. They will not say,“Im your father arid Im telling you not to smoke,“but will point out the dangers involved. It is a further question,however, whether a childs a

46、cceptance of good reasons should be the criterion for his action. If a parent explains to a child why it is stupid and wrong to put objects on railway lines,and yet sees him doing so,will he stand aside and reflect that the boy is learning to choose? Parents must weigh their own fundamental principl

47、es against what is instructive for their children. Example,of course,is crucial. Parents and others must provide a pattern out of which the child can eventually develop his own style of self-regulation. This is not likely to happen unless exercise of authority is rationalized and sensitively adapted

48、 to age,to persons,and to the tasks in hand. For the young will tightly rebel against the irrational expression of a traditional status. In brief, teachers and parents must learn to be in authority without being authoritarian. 51 When children get older,_. （ A） they begin to consider everything care

49、fully with their own standard （ B） serf-discipline becomes a conscious or unconscious part of themselves （ C） they tend to rebel against senseless expression of authority （ D） all of the above 52 The sentence “their tendency to be serf-critical.depends on the extent to which they must have kept critical company“could be best interpreted as_. （ A） the outside world can exert great infl
