There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store-bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put h is product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4 ounce, 8 ounce, one pound, two pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. A study of drugstore( 3 /)and supermarket shelves will convince any bserver that all possible size and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in pro duct differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product's market position When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from I dollar to 2.50 dollars by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5 ounce bottle look as thought it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them the re are four choices marked A)，B)，C) and D). you should decide on the best choice. Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: It is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive(欺骗性的) packaging rumpus(喧嚣) started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10.5 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store-bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie. The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put h is product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4 ounce, 8 ounce, one pound, two pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. A study of drugstore(杂货店) and supermarket shelves will convince any observer that all possible size and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in pro duct differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product's market position. When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from 1 dollar to 2.50 dollars by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5 ounce bottle look as thought it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average family pays about 200 dollars a year for bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can't be used anything but stuffing the garbage can. 41. What started the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus? A) Consumers' complaints about the changes in the package size. B) Expensive packaging for poor quality products. C) A senator's discovery of the tricks in packaging. D) The rise in the unit price for many products. 42. The word "undue" (Line 2, Para.2) means"__________". A) improper B) adequate C) unexpected D) excessive 43. Consumers are concerned about the changes in the package size, mainly because _____. A) they hate to see any changes in things they are familiar with B) the unit price for a product often rises as a result C) they have to pay for the cost of changing package sizes. D) this entails an increase in the cost of packaging 44. According to this passage, various types of packaging come into existence to______

A)meet the needs of consumers B)suit all kinds of products C)enhance the market position of products pre 45. The author is critical mainly of A)dishonest packaging B)inferior packaging C)the changes in package size D)exaggerated illustrations on packages Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills, American firm s have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual resp Labour is simply another factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much as one buys raw materials or equipment The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human- resource management is central-usually the second most important executive, after the Ceo, in the firms hierarchy While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much mor narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the ba background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany(as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United Stated. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can,'t effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear 46. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American A)They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills B)They see the gaining of skills as their employees own business C)They attach more importance to workers than equipment D)They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition 47. What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm? A)He is one of the most important executives in the firms B)His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced

A) meet the needs of consumers B) suit all kinds of products C) enhance the market position of products D) introduce new products 45. The author is critical mainly of __________. A) dishonest packaging B) inferior packaging C) the changes in package size D) exaggerated illustrations on packages.

Too close a relation, and the writer may lose objectivity. Not close enough, and the writer may lack the sympathy necessary to any effort to portray a mind, a soul-the quality of life. Who nould write the biography of a family, for example? Because of their closeness to the subject, family members may have special information, but by the same token, they may not have th distance that would allow them to be fair. Similarly, a kings servant might not be the best one to write a biography of that king, But a foreigner might not have the knowledge and sympathy necessary to write the kings biography- not for a readership from within the kingdom, at any rate There is no ideal position for such a task. The biographer has to work with the position he or she has in the world, adjusting that position as necessary to deal with the subject. Every position has strengths and weaknesses: to thrive, a writer must try to become aware of these, evaluate them in terms of the subject, and select a position accordingly When their subjects are heroes or famous figures, biographies often reveal a democratic motive: they attempt to show that their subjects are only human, no better than anyone else. Other biographies are meant to change us, to invite us to become better than we are. The biographies of Jesus(耶稣) found in the bible are in this class Biographers may claim that their account is the"authentic"one. In advancing this claim they are helped if the biography is "authorized"by the subject; this presumably allows the biographer special access to private information. "Unauthorized"biographies also have their appeal, however, since they can suggest an independence of mind in the biographer. In book promotions, the"unauthorized"characterization usually suggests the prospect of juicy gossip that the subject had hoped to suppress. A subject might have several biographies, even sever al

D) The human-resource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity. Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: The biographer has to dance between two shaky positions with respect to the subject(研究对象).

authentic"ones. We sense intuitively that no one is in a position to tell"the" story of a life perhaps not even the subject, and this has been proved by the history of biography 51. According to the author, an ideal biographer would be one who A)knows the subject very well and yet maintains a proper distance from him B)is close to the subject and knows the techniques of biography writing C)is independent and treats the subject with fairness and objectivity D) possesses special private information and is sympathetic toward the subject 52. The author cites the biographies of Jesus in the Bible in order to show that A)the best biographies are meant to transform their readers B)biographies are authentic accounts of their subjects lives C)the best biographies are those of heroes and famous figures D)biographies can serve different purposes 53. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? A)An authentic biography seldom appeals to its readers B)An authentic biography is one authorized by the subject an write a perfect biography D)Authorized biographies have a wider readership 54. An unauthorized biography is likely to attract more readers because A)it portrays the subject both faithfully and vividly B)it contains interesting information about the subject's private life C) it reveals a lot of accurate details unknown to outsiders D)it usually gives a sympathetic description of the sub 55. In this passage, the author focuses on A)the difficulty of a biographer in finding the proper perspective to do his job B)the secret of a biographer to win more readers C)the techniques required of a biographer to write a good biography D) the characteristics of different kinds of biographies Questions 56 to 60 are based on the follo wing passage Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul"is debatable, that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby's life the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. T he eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mother's back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other cultures. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode(把…编码) or decode(理解) meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the"proper place to focus one s gaze during a conversation in Japan is on the neck of one's conversation partner. The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is wel defined; speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listener or reassure the selves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more.

A) it portrays the subject both faithfully and vividly B) it contains interesting information about the subject's private life C) it reveals a lot of accurate details unknown to outsiders D) it usually gives a sympathetic description of the subject's character 55. In this passage, the author focuses on __________. A) the difficulty of a biographer in finding the proper perspective to do his job B) the secret of a biographer to win more readers C) the techniques required of a biographer to write a good biography D) the characteristics of different kinds of biographies Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul" is debatable; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact.

Listeners

meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only riefly. It is important that they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker establishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pause 56. The author is convinced that the eyes are A)of extreme importance in expressing feelings and exchanging ideas B) something through which one can see a person' s inner world C)of considerable significance in making conversations interesting D) something the value of which is largely a matter of long debate 57.
