13、r texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)30 As obvious as it may sound, the truth is there are a lot of businesses out there. The odds of not having any competition are next to impossible, and something any worthwhile business, whether big or small, has to e

14、ventually come to accept. Every one of those businesses are trying to do the exact same thing: get people to buy their products. When flooded with so many potential prospects it isnt always easy for the customers to know which business is the best and which one has the best product. What you need to

15、 do is to help them along.Differentiating your business and your products from the competitors is by far one of the most important details when dealing with any kind of industry. Everything a company does, from the creative ads they run to the inventive promotions they produce to the full color busi

16、ness cards they hand out is geared towards separating themselves from the rest of the flock. If youre going to compete with them youre going to have to do the same, and do it more effectively.Sometimes the most effective approaches can be some of the most simple. Printing well-colored brochures give

17、s businesses the chance to show their customers the subtle or not so subtle differences between them and the competitors, whether it is better designs, better features, or better prices. Handing them a list of all the products or services you offer allows them the ability to see exactly what theyre

18、getting when they do business with you, and the more customers know about a business the better the odds are theyll feel comfortable with them.But, even going beyond the products, boosting up your company can also be an effective tool to place you above the competitors. When you hand a person a busi

19、ness card, fully colored with a unique design youre handing him a means to remember you. A business card can say a lot about a person and the business he run. Simple, drab colors can be off putting to the person looking for a friendlier business. The right color scheme alone can differentiate you fr

20、om the competitors, and once youve managed to separate yourself out, youll be in a prime position to be whom the person favors when they need that specific product.With competition as steep as it is today, every business has its hands full trying to stay above the rest. When every little thing count

21、s, the business the customers will take to heart will be the one who can show them just why theyre the best qualified. Printing out the right kind of colorful brochure or business card can be a valuable method of stepping away from the crowded business field.31 According to the writer, what does eve

22、ry business, regardless of its size, make effort to achieve nowadays?（A）Get people to buy their products.（B） Design and produce new products.（C） Make their prices more competitive.（D）Better the quality of their present products.32 Why do some companies design their business cards in full color?（A）To

23、 keep up with the trend.（B） To make the cards look fancy.（C） To distinguish themselves from others.（D）To vividly demonstrate the corporate culture.33 What would help customers know better about your business when doing business with them?（A）Inviting them to kinds of exhibitions related.（B） Showing t

24、hem the price of your products.（C） Asking them to find out the subtle differences between you and the competitors.（D）Giving them a catalogue of all the products or services your business provides.34 According to the last paragraph, what kind of business will make the customers think seriously? Its t

25、he business that can_.（A）provide comprehensive after-sales service（B） always offer the lowest price in the market（C） show customers why they are the best qualified（D）convince customers that they are the largest in this field35 The writer suggests that companies_ for the sake of effective product dif

26、ferentiation.（A）step away from the crowded business field（B） make as many advertisements in newspapers as possible（C） manage to enter competitive markets whenever possible（D）print out the right kind of colorful brochure or business card36 Germanys chimney sweepshallowed as bringers of good luck, wit

27、h their black top hats and coiled-wire brushesare under attack. Last week the European Commissions directorate for the internal market revived proceedings against an antiquated German law that protects sweeps against competition. The countrys chimney sweeps enjoy a near-perfect monopoly. Germany is

28、divided into around 8000 districts, each ruled by its own master sweep who usually employs two more sweeps. Although this is a private enterprise, the maintenance and inspection service provided is compulsory and prices are set by the local authority: sweeps cannot stray outside their district, nor

29、can householders change their sweep even if they loathe him. This rule cuts both ways. “There are some customers I cant stand either“, says one Frankfurt sweep.The rationale is simple: chimney-sweeping and related gas and heating maintenance in Germany are treated as a matter of public safety. Annua

30、l or semi-annual visits are prescribed, keeping the sweeps busy all year round. For centuries, chimney-sweeps in Europe were a wandering breed. But in 1937 the chimney-sweep law was revised by Heinrich Himmler, then the acting interior minister. His roles tied chimney sweeps to their districts and d

31、ecreed that they should be German, to enable him to use sweeps as local spies.The law was updated in 1969, leaving the local monopolies in place but opening up the profession, in theory at least, to non-Germ, ans. But in practice few apply. Four years ago a brave Pole qualified as a master in Kaiser

32、slautern, according to a fellow student, and this year an Italian did so in the Rhineland Palatinate. But he, like most newly qualified German masters, will spend years on a waiting list before he gets his own district.The European Commission would like to see a competitive market in which people ca

33、n choose their own sweeps, just as they choose builders or plumbers. It first opened infringement proceedings in 2003, and the German government of the time promised to change the law but failed to do so. And despite the huffing and puffing from Brussels, the government is still reluctant to dismant

34、le its antiquated system on safety grounds. The number of deaths from carbon-monoxide poisoning in Germany is around one-tenth that in France or Belgium, claims the Frankfurt sweep. So Germans are likely to be stock with their neighbourhood Schornsteinfegerswhether they can stand each other or notfo

35、r some time to come.36 Whats the reason that Germanys chimney sweeps are under attack?（A）Chimney sweeps can not be bringers of good luck any more.（B） German law that protects sweeps competition was accused against last week.（C） Germanys chimney sweeps enjoy a near-perfect monopoly.（D）European Commis

36、sions directorate for the internal market hate the chimney sweeps.37 What does “This rule cuts both ways“ (Line 7, Paragraph 1) mean?（A）The maintenance and inspection service provided is compulsory.（B） Prices are set by the local authority.（C） Some sweeps cant stand some customers.（D）Customers and s

37、weeps can not satisfy one another.38 Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?（A）Chimney-sweeping is impotant in Germany because it is treated as a matter of public safety.（B） Chimney-sweeping visit was done every a year and a half.（C） Before 1937, chimney sweeps are German and work i

38、n their districts.（D）Heinrich Himmler revised the law because he can use sweeps as local spies.39 Whats the authors attitude toward the anti-monopoly of chimney sweeping in Germany?（A）Inevitable.（B） Possible.（C） Pessimistic.（D）Optimistic.40 Which of the following is the best title of the passage?（A）

39、Update of Chimney Sweeps Law（B） Chimney Sweeps under File.（C） Chimney Sweeps in German（D）Non-Germans or Not41 There is a confused notion in the minds of many people that the gathering of the property of the poor into the hands of the rich does no ultimate harm, since in whosever hands it may be, it

40、must be spent at last, and thus, they think, return to the poor again. This fallacy has been again and again exposed; but granting the plea true, the same apology may, of course, be made for blackmail, or any other form of robbery. It might be (though practically it never is) as advantageous for the

41、 notion that the robber should have the spending of the money he extorts, as that the person robbed should have spent it. But this is no excuse for the theft. If I were to put a tollgate on the road where it passes my own gate, and endeavor to extract a shilling from every passenger, the public woul

42、d soon do away with my gate, without listening to any pleas on my part that it was as advantageous to them, in the end, that I should spend their shillings, as that they themselves should. But if, instead of outfacing them with a tollgate, I can only persuade them to come in and buy stones, or old i

43、ron, or any other useless thing, out of my ground, I may rob them to the same extent and, moreover, be thanked as a public benefactor and promoter of commercial prosperity.And this main question for the poor of Englandfor the poor of all countriesis wholly omitted in every writing on the subject of

44、wealth. Even by the laborers themselves, the operation of capital is regarded only in its effect on their immediate interests, never in the far more terrific power of its appointment of the kind and the object of labor. It matters little, ultimately, how much a laborer is paid for making anything, b

45、ut it matters fearfully what the thing is which he is compelled to make. If his labor is so ordered as to produce food, fresh air, and fresh water, no matter that his wages are low, the food and the fresh air and water will be at last there, and he will at last get them. But if he is paid to destroy

46、 food and fresh air, or to produce iron bars instead of them, the food and air will finally not be there, and he will not get them, to his great and final inconvenience. So that, conclusively, in political as in household economy, the great question is not so much what money you have in your pocket,

47、 as what you will buy with it and do with it.41 The author gives the example of a tollgate in the first paragraph to indicate that（A）it is an act of robbery.（B） it is an impractical plan.（C） it will break the law.（D）it can make people rich.42 The word “fallacy“(Paragraph 1) most probably means（A）inc

48、orrect explanations.（B） arbitrary decisions.（C） reasonable excuses.（D）logical errors in argument.43 What is the “main question for the poor“ (Line 1, Paragraph 2) according to the passage?（A）The poor are not the master of themselves.（B） The poor fail to see the real power of the operation of capital

49、.（C） The poor do not understand that they are buying things they do not need.（D）The laborers are always deceived by the rich who pretend to be benefactors.44 It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes（A）there are few honest businessmen.（B） the rich are the same as thieves in their accumulation of wealth.（C） robbers are also benefactors to society seen from a different angle.（D）equal distributio
