6、ferent.解析：解析事实细节题。本题询问对于小型企业主来说，向公众推销家具具有挑战性的原因。定位到第1段第 1、2句，在提到向公众推销家具具有挑战性后，第 2句指出“消费者偶尔购买家具”，两者为因果关系，故正确答案为选项 c。选项 a(家具风格变化快)、选项 b(他们的家具款式通常比较旧)、选项 d(公众对于家具的品位各异)原文中没提到。(2).according to the writer, it is a good way for small business owners to sell their furnitureby _.（分数：4.00）a.improving after-s

11、描述这些销售策略。由此可见本文主要话题是“推销家具”的策略，故正确答案为选项 b。选项 a(家具设计)、选项 c(家具店的装修)、选项 d(家具的生产过程)这些细节都没有涉及到。三、2(总题数：1，分数：20.00)but i just paid $1.69 forthis bottle of wine last week. how come the price is now$2.25? whatsgoing on?there are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise. all h

12、aveto do with the supply and demand factors of economics.the first factor is that people are drinking more wine than ever before. this demand for morewine has increased overall (总体) wine sales in america at the rate of 15 percent a year.the second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relativ

13、ely the same, which means thatthe same number of bottles is produced each year. wine producers are trying to open up new landto grow more grapes (葡萄). but in at least three wine-producing areas of the worldfrance,germany, and californianew vineyards(葡萄园) will not be available in the near future. win

14、esare produced in other countries, such as italy, spain and australia, but none of these countrieswill be able to fill the demand for good wines.the third factor is that costs of wine productions are increasing. the men who make wine are askingfor more money, and the machinery needed to press the gr

15、apes is becoming more expensive.when the demand for something is greater than the supply, prices go up. when production costs,meaning the prices of labor and machinery, rise, the producer adds this increase to the priceof the wine.（分数：20.00）(1).from the first paragraph, we know that the speaker is _

16、.（分数：4.00）a.asking about the priceb.worrying about the pricec.bargaining over the priced.complaining about the price 解析：解析 根据题目要求定位到第一段。说话人已经知道了价格，但对价格的上涨感到不满：how comethe price is now.whats going on?(为什么价格现在是搞什么啊?)d项的 complain意为“抱怨”，可见此选项符合题目要求。说话的人已经知道了价格(从 1.69上涨到 2.25)，故他不是在询问价格，排除 a项。根据第一段说话人的语气

17、，他是有点生气的，想弄明白价格上涨是怎么回事，而不是对价格感到担忧，也没有与人讨价还价，排除 b项和 c项。(2).the three factors mentioned in the passage cause _.（分数：4.00）a.the sales of wine to increaseb.the price of wine to go up c.the production of wine to decreased.more and more people to drink wine解析：解析 题目中提到的 three factors分别出现在第二至五段。第二段是总起段，其中第一句

18、谈到，至少有三个方面(three things)导致了葡萄酒的价格上升(the price of wine to rise)。这里的 threethings就是题目中的 three factors，b项的 go up与文中的 rise同义，故为正确答案。a项仅仅是第一个因素带来的结果，不全面。c项显然不对，因为第四段中提到葡萄酒的产量稳定(has stayedrelatively the same)，而且这是导致价格上涨的原因之一，而不是结果。文中只提到人们现在喝的酒比以往多，但无法判断这三个因素是不是引起了更多人喝葡萄酒，不选 d项。(3).the supply of wine has re

19、mained the same partly because _.（分数：4.00）a.wine-producing countries are unwilling to increase their productionb.new vineyards will not be opened up in such countries as australiac.countries like italy and spain cant supply enough good wines d.the production of wine bottles has ceased to increase解析：

20、解析 根据题目中的 supply和 the same定位到第四段第一句。该句谈到了葡萄酒的产量稳定，接下来几句说明了造成这种情况的两个原因：一是世界主要产酒地法国、德国和加利福尼亚没有新葡萄园可供开发(will not be available in the near future)；二是像意大利、西班牙、澳大利亚等其他国家虽然也都生产葡萄酒，却不能满足人们对优质葡萄酒的需求(none.will be able to fill the demand)。可见，c项的表述是原因之一，为正确答案。a项的表述不对，不是因为产酒国家不愿意生产，而是条件不许可。新葡萄园不会在法国、德国和加州开设，而不是澳

21、大利亚，b项错误。d项虽然是第四段中的原意，但要注意它是葡萄酒供应量保持稳定的结果，而不是原因。(4).what does production costs refer to in the last paragraph?（分数：4.00）a.the price of grapes and machines.b.the cost of land and transportation.c.the price of wine and wine bottles.d.the cost of the manpower and equipment. 解析：解析根据题目要求定位到最后一段最后一句。该句中 me

22、aning之后的内容就是对 production costs的解释，即 the prices of labor and machinery(劳动力和机器价格)。因此 d项为正确答案。阅读全文可以发现，文章只谈到了葡萄酒、人力和机器的价格，并没有谈到葡萄的价格、土地和运输成本、酒瓶的价格，因此 a、b和 c项都可以排除。(5).the authors purpose of writing this passage is to _.（分数：4.00）a.persuade people to drink less wineb.tell people where to get the best win

23、ec.explain why the price of wine is rising d.show that wine is popular with americans解析：解析文章第一段引述消费者的话语，抱怨葡萄酒的价格上涨太快；接着作者从三个方面解释说明了葡萄酒价格上涨的原因。可见文章讨论的是葡萄酒价格上涨的因素。因此 c项为作者的写作目的。劝人们少喝酒和告诉人们哪儿能买到最好的酒在文中根本没有提及，不难排除 a项和 b项。d项倒是根据第一个原因(people are drinking more wine than ever before)能够推理出的正确结论，但是它只代表了文章的一部分

24、，无法概括其他两个原因，该项表述不全面。四、3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)your computer has been playing music for years, one cd at a time. now hundreds of songs can bestored in your pc if theyre in the mp3 format (格式).what is it?mp3 compresses (压缩) music into small computer files. you access mp3 music in several ways: tunescan be dow
