In the stories of other cultures, a silver bullet is the only way to vanquish monsters like werewolves(狼人).Writer Stephen King is a master of scary stories in America. His book “Silver Bullet” is about a man who turns into a werewolf with every full moon and attacks people in a small town. It can only be killed by a silver bullet. As with many of Kings books: “Silver Bullet” was made into a film in 1985.Silver bullets also have roots in an early American cultural character. “The Lone Ranger” began as a popular radio show in the 1930s. It turned to be a hugely popular television show in the 1950s and was remade into a movie in 2013. The Lone Ranger was a Texas Ranger, a type of lawman. When his entire team was attacked and killed, he was left alone-thus the name,The Lone Ranger. In his new identity he wore a mask. On the horseback, he looked for the bad guys in the American West and brought them to justice. In some of the radio and television shows,The Lone Ranger used bullets made from the mental silver as a symbol of justice,law and order.There are other words that are close in meaning. The Latin word panacea means an herb that would cure all illnesses. The Greek word “panacea” means cure-all. Of course, if something is said to be a panacea or a silver bullet for all your problems, it most likely is not. Thats why these terms are often used in the negative form: There is no silver bullet to fix homelessness in America. There is no panacea to cure all the worlds ills. So, if someone wants to sell you a silver bullet to cure all your troubles, dont buy it.24. What does the underlined word “vanquish” in the second paragraph mean?A. to give birth to B. to get the better ofC. to increase the power of D. to turn something into a human25. What is the intention of mentioning The Lone Ranger?A.Because he was a successful lawman.B.Because his story was made into a movie in 2013.C.Because he had some relevance to the “silver bullet”.D.Because he was noted in the early American culture.26. Why did the man get the name The Lone Ranger?A.Because he was the only survivor.B.Because he was wearing a mask.C.Because he killed bad guys all by himself.D.Because he never shared his secrets with others.27. What does the author want to convey via the last paragraph?A.Many people want to buy silver bullets.B.Homelessness is a major problem in western countries like America.C.We are expected to find good ways to cure the worlds ills.D.Its impractical to solve all problems with a silver bullet.CResearchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Supporters of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheet can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the relevant considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision. Since most important problems are multifaceted(多层面的), there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question “What will I do after graduation?” A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year. A decision-making worksheet begins with a brief statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long range goals， a graduating student might revise the question above to “What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?”28.Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision worksheet?A.Listing the consequences of each solution.B.Calculating a numerical summary of each solution.C.Deciding which consequences are most important.D.Writing down all possible solutions.29.According to decision-worksheet theory, an optional decision is defined as one that _.A.has the fewest variables to considerB.uses the most decision worksheetsC.has the most points assigned to itD.is agreed to by the greatest number of people30.The author states that “On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once” to explain that _.A.most decisions involve seven stepsB human mental capacity has limitationsC.some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisionsD.people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practice31.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.A tool to assist in making complex decisions.B.A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.C.Research on how people make decisions.D.Differences between long-range and short-range decision making.DTo understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the 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 produce 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, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase. This concept does not imply that business is benevolent or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction-the firm and the customer-and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is by means of understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!32. The marketing concept discussed in the passage is,in essence, _.A. the practice of turning goods into moneyB. making goods available for purchase C. the customer-centered approach D. a form of persuasive salesmanship33.What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?A.The needs of the market.B.The efficiency of production.C.The satisfaction of the user.D.The preferences of the dealer. 34. According to the passage, to move as much of these goods as possible means _.A. to sell the largest possible quantity of goodsB. to transport goods as efficiently as possible C. to dispose of these goods in large quantities D. to redesign these goods for large-scale production35. What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?A. Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people. B. It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.C. Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.D. Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（每小题2分，共10分）When mouth-watering food on a white plate is served, do you eat it right away? _36_ Then you post it on your favorite social networking sites and apps.
