【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:B

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】1.主旨大意题。本文开头“Everycountryandculture,whetherit’sasancientasIndiaorasyoungastheCzechRepublic,hasahistorythatwillgreatlyaffectboththemarketandthemarketer.每个国家和文化，无论是像印度一样古老还是像捷克共和国一样年轻，都有一段对市场和营销人员都有巨大影响的历史。并且文中列举了两个例子来论证一个国家的文化或历史会影响市场。故D项正确。

2.细节事实题。由第一段“Understandingthathistorywillenableamarketertoapproachthecultureinamoresubtlemanner,anditwillcertainlycauseanadjustmentofschedule.了解历史可以使营销人员以一种更微妙的方式接近文化，这肯定会导致对日程表的调整。”可知商人了解一个国家的文化或历史很重要。故A项正确。

3.推理判断题。由第二段“Marketersmaybringtheirownbusinesstotheprocessandshouldtakecaretoseparatethemselves,atleastemotionally,fromtheirpersonalandculturalhistory.营销人员可能会把他们自己的业务带入到这个过程中，他们应该注意把自己与他们的个人和文化历史分开，至少在情感上是这样。”可知B项“市场营销人员应该把自己与个人和文化历史分开。”正确。

4.推理判断题。由第三段“However,thisjoydoesn’tpreventSouthAfricacompaniesfromtakingadvantageofcounterparts’guiltfeelingswhenit’stimetocutadeal.然而，这种喜悦并不能阻止南非公司在谈判时利用对手的内疚感。”可知D项“南非的公司利用了他们对手的负罪感”正确。

5.推理判断题。由最后一段“Onthepoliticalfront,therelationship,betweenVietnamandtheUnitedStatesisaprimeexampleoftwosetsofmarketersmisinterpretingeachother’shistoryandculturewhenitcametimetodobusiness.在政治方面，越南和美国之间的关系就是一个典型的例子，两国商人在做生意的时候会误解对方的历史和文化。”以及“TheVietnameseassumedthatAmericanbusinesscommunitywouldheapinvestmentonthemtomakeupforpastwrong,越南人认为美国商界会向他们大量投资，以弥补过去的错误，”可知ABD三项均正确，C项“越南和美国的关系是一个忘记过去的好例子。”与原文不符，越南和美国的关系是由于双方商人对于对方的历史和文化的误解。故答案C。

3.单选题

“JimmywantstostayupandwatchanoldmovieonTV.”“Teno’clockis（）foraboyofhisagetostayup.”

问题1选项

A.atoolatehour

B.toolateanhour

C.verymuchlateanhour

D.asolatehour

【答案】B

【解析】考查固定搭配。toolateforsb.todosth是固定搭配，表示“对某人来说做什么事太晚了”。句意：吉米想要熬夜看电视上的一部老电影。十点钟对他这个年龄的孩子来说太晚了。其中anhour是Teno’clock的定语，不可将其分开，用来修饰10点钟这个特定的时间段。同理可排除AD。C选项中的verymuch不能用来修饰late。选B。

【答案】56.F

57.D

58.C

59.G

60.B

【解析】56.定位到第一段Itturnsoutwe’restillbeingmanipulatedbymarketers.Whatyoushouldknowabouttheirtactics:（事实证明，我们仍然在被营销人员所操纵。关于他们的战术你应该知道的是：）由此可知下面所述内容均为营销人员的战术。56题根据后一句的Theseso-calledcharmpricesmakeusthinktheyreflectgooddeals.（这些所谓的魅力价格让我们认为它们反映了划算的交易。）由these指示代词可知，56题的句子中应该包含有多个价格，而有prices的选项只有F“不要受以9.99或者95结尾的价格所迷惑”，因此F选项正确，符合题意。

57.第二段单独成行，为的是总结上一段内容，第一段结尾Thus“Originally$20,now$15”willtemptyoumorethan“Originally$20,now$13.99”，eventhoughthelattersavesyoumore.（因此，“最初的20美元，现在的15美元”比“最初的20美元，现在的13.99美元”更吸引你，尽管后者能帮你节省更多。）以及空格后的一句Notonlyaretheyloadedwithcharm-priced.（它们不仅充满魅力）可知除了看促销价格外，更应该注重原价，因此D选项“请注意原价”正确，符合题意。

58.根据该段落的最后一句they’rewillingtospendmoreiftheydon’thavetoactuallydoleoutthoseportionsthemselves.（如果他们不需要自己动手分成小份，他们愿意花更多的钱。）可以推理出许多食品零售商已经开始出售迷你零食，虽然价格很难让它们物有所值，但是那些懒得动手的消费者仍会花更多的钱购买。因此C选项“如果你是一个懒惰的购物者，你可能要支付额外的费用”正确，很好地总结了该段的内容。故选C。

59.根据空格后的一句AccordingtoaCornellUniversitystudyquotedatcbsmoneywatchcom.,dinersspentmuchlesswhenmenususedtheworddollarsorthedollarsignthanwhenonlynumeralswereusedtoindicateprice.（网站引用了康奈尔大学的一项研究。在美国，当菜单上使用美元或美元符号时，用餐者花费的钱要比只使用数字表示价格时少得多。）由此可知本段的主要信息为美元或者是美元符号的缺失，会显得更加优惠。因此概括项内应该将dollar或者dollarsign体现出来。因此G选项“请注意缺少的美元符号”正确，符合题意。故选G。

60.根据空格后一句Ifyouuseastoreloyaltycard,yourbuyinghabitsarebeingrecordedandoftenusedtolureyoutobuymore.（如果你使用商店会员卡，你的购买习惯就会被记录下来，经常被用来引诱你买更多的东西。）以及retailersthesedaysaresuccessfullytrickingconsumersintospendingmorebydeterminingtheirspending“sweetspot”,basedonpreviouspurchases.（现在的零售商通过根据以往的购买情况来确定他们的消费“甜蜜点”，成功地诱使消费者增加支出。）由此可知，在大数据时代，你的每一笔消费会受到分析，从而让你看到心动的物品或者以心动价立即购买。因此本段的主旨是想让消费者知道这些推荐之所以会推送出来的原因。因此B选项“知道你被跟踪了”正确，符合题意。故选B。

21.单选题
