写.

8、

标准答案：F

知识点解析：正如许多企业家一样，Dave花费了很长时间来实现自己的梦想，他

要给人们提供最高质量的扬声器(offersonlythehighest-qualityspeakers),因此，这

里填入F最佳。

9、

标准答案：D

知识点解析：在下一句中提到，Dave找到了一个被许多公司忽视的市场机会，因

此，此处应该填入有关没有重视市场营销的情况，即D：大部分公司把挣到的钱再

投资到产品研发中，没有多少用来开发市场。

10.

标准答案：E

知识点解析：接上题，这是一个什么样的机会呢?这个机会就是由音乐发烧友—

喜欢听音乐、购买一流的立体声设备—构成。选项中只有E有niche这个词，与

前一句的niche对应，意思承接。

11、

标准答案：B

知识点解析：上面几句在讨论Dave对产品分销方面问题的看法，他不赞成通过分

销商来销售此种产品，因为他们过分压缩厂家的利润空间，而且，他们仅销售少数

的几个知名品牌(B)。因此，B是正确答案。

12、

标准答案：G

知识点解析：上句的意思是，“Dave设想越过经销商，直接向音乐发烧友销售高质

量产品“，那么，这样有什么好处呢?这样可以“避免经销商的加价,以更好的服务

和合理的价格服务市场(G)”。

"footwearforyuppies"isthat.

A、yuppiesusuallyevokesanegativeimage

B、theybelievethattheirshoesarcpopularwithpeopleofdifferentagegroups

C、newproductionlineshavebeenaddedtoproduceinexpensiveshoes

标准答案：B

知识点解析：问题是“锐步公司管理人员之所以不喜欢他们管理部门生产的鞋被称

为是‘雅皮士的鞋’的原因之一是……答案信息在第一段，开头就指出管理者们

不喜欢被这样称呼，接下来列举了他们针对■不同客户群开发出来的多种多样的产

品，最后的一句话是总结allofwhichshouldattractnewandvariedgroupsof

customers(所有这些产品应该能够吸引新的和不同的客户群)，说明他们的产品是多

样的，不是单一的。所以答案B"他们相信其生产的运动鞋能够受到不同年龄段的

人的欢迎''是正确的。

14、Reebok'sviewthat"consumersjudgethequalityofthebrandbythequalityofits

distribution"（Para.2）implies（hat.

A、thequalityofabrandismeasuredbytheservicequalityofthestoresellingit

B、consumersbelievethatfirst-rateproductsareonlysoldbyhigh-qualitystores

C、thequalityofaproductdeterminesthequalityofitsdistributors

标准答案：B

知识点解析：问题是“锐步公司认为，消费者根据产品的销售情况来判断品牌的质

量’的看法是指……这是一道推理题。锐步的这种观点出现在第二段的最后一

句，那么答案信息一定在这一段中。此段主要阐述锐步正在改进upmarket（高级市

场）的销售网，以达至j其i销售目标pushsalesto$Ibillionannually,aheadofallother

spoilsshoemarketers（帮助其将销售量提高到每年十亿美元。能够在运动鞋市场中名

歹U前茅）。其策略是willcontinuetobesoldonlyinbetterspecialty,sportinggoods»

anddepartmentstores（继续面向高档的专卖店、体育用品店和商场），它的这种做法

基于它的认识：消费者认为高档商店里出售的一定是高质量的商品。所以答案B

是正确的。

15、Reebokoncehadlolimitthenumberofitsdistributorsbecause.

A、（hereductionofdistributorscouldincreaseitsshareofthemarket

B、itssupplyofproductsfellshortofdemand

C、toomanydistributorswouldcutintoitsprofits

标准答案：B

知识点解析：问题是“锐步曾经有一次限制其产品经销商的数量是因为……与题

干相关的内容出现在第三段的一句话中，partlyoutofnecessity的意思是“部分原因

是出于需要”。后一句说明当时的市场情况是需大于供，A”提高市场份额”和C“经

销商太多会分掉利润”都未在此提及，所以只有B“其供应落后于需求”是正确的。

16、AlthoughtheReebokCompanyhassolvedtheproblemoffulfillingitsorders,

it.

A^isstillparticularaboutwhosellsitsproducts

B、doesnotwanttofurtherexpanditsretailingnetwork

C、stilllimitsthenumberofshoessuppliedtostores

标准答案：A

知识解析：问题是“尽管锐步公司解决了履行订单的问题，但它还是……:题干

中的关键词fulfilling出现在第三段,Thesefulfillmentproblemsseemtobeunder

conlrolnow的意思是“现在，履行订单中出现的问题看来已经得到控制”，说明可以

满足需求了,后面的but引出了转折,正好是题干的问题所在。butthecompanyis

stillselectiveaboutitsdislribjlors（但是公司对于其经销商的选择还是很挑剔的）。选

项A中的whosellsitsproducts指的就是distributor,而isstillparticularabout与still

selective同义,所以A为正确答案。

17、WhatmistakethatNikehadmade?

A、Misjudgethedemandofthemarket.

B、Sellrunningshoesinlowprice.

C、Mistakenlybelievedthatcustomerwerecrazyontheaerobicsshoes.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：问题是“耐克公司曾经犯过什么错误?”短文在最后一段中提到了

Nike,它的错误是mis-judgedthestrengthoftheaerobicsshoecraze,其中的strength

是指因craze而对市场造成的影响力度。所以这句话的意思是“错误地判断了消费

者对有氧运动用鞋的狂热所能对市场造成的影响力度”，关键词在strength,并不是

没有在消费者中产生狂热现象，而是对市场供需比例的判断发生了错误。所以选项

C是错误的。而后文的wasforcedtounloadhugeinventoriesofrunningshoesthrough

discountstores(被迫将大量积压的跑鞋放到打折店里倾销)，只是Nike出现错误之

后不得已的做法。所以选项B也是错误的。只有A是正确的。

18、WhatlessonhasReeboklearnedfromNike'sdistributionproblems?

A^Acompanyshoulddofbllow-upsurveysofitsproducts.

B、Acompanyshouldnotsellitshighqualityshoesindiscountstores.

C^Acompanyshouldcorrectlyevaluatetheimpactofanewcrazeon(hemarket.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：问题是“从耐克的销售存在的问题中，锐步吸取了什么教训?”在第四

段中提到锐步也预测到了市场中的craze,并准备迎合消费者的兴趣，说明它已经

做了市场调查，所以A是错误的。选项B涉及的是Nike在出现错误后做出的补救

措施，所以B也是错误的。从上题可知，Nike的错误在丁判断s代在市场中的

影响力度(strength)有误，因此，锐步需要避免重蹈覆辙，必须作出正确的计划，所

以C是正确的答案。其中impact与strength同义。

19、

A、In

B、With

C、On

D、By

标准答案:A

知识点解析:固定用法：inadditionto除...之外。

20、

A^built

created

C、based

D^made

标准答案：C

知识点解析：bebasedon以...为基础、基于符合题意。其他同和on一起

使用的词有“bebuilton建于...之上”，但含义不恰当。

21、

A、decrease

B、prevent

C、omit

D、reduce

标准答案：C

知识点解析：omit常和item一起用，表示“减少某些条款或项”等。Reduce指的是

缩小事物的范围、强度、数量等，常跟speed,pressure,staff,expenses等;

decrease指事物逐渐缩小、逐渐衰弱的过程。

22、

A、realistic

B、possible

C、probable

D、desired

标准答案：B

知识点解析：aslowaspossible尽量低，其他词不能与这里的low搭配。

23、

A^associate

B、gather

C、mix

D、combine

标准答案：D

知识点解析:associate...with...JC联系起来;gatherslhup/together收集;

gathersth./sb.round搜箕、集合：mixAwithB把A和B混合（这种组合往往强

调混杂不清），mixsb./sth.upwithsb./sth.把某人（物）与他人（他物）混淆；

combineAwith/andB把A和B结合起来（必要的话两物还可以分开）。此句意为

“我们将尽力把你要运的设备和其他客户要我们于同一时段运送的货物放在一起运

输。”由此看来只有D符合题意。

24、

A、appreciate

B、satisfy

C、wish

D、consider

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本句表示一种假设：如果我们为你们专门运输设备，你们肯定会同

意，但费用耍窗多了。这里只有叩prcciale除“感激”和“鉴赏”外，还含有“货识”或

“同意”对方观点的含义。

25、

A^appreciated

B、higher

C、heavier

D、superior

标准答案：B

知识点解析：从句意看只能用higher来表示费用更高；heavier一般不表示费用的

高低；superior表示更高一个级别、更优越的，和上下文含义不一致。

26、

A、still

B、even

C、despite

D^although

标准答案：D

知识点解析：这里需要用一个连词来引出所需要的条件，以便叙述下文。

27、

A、among

B、beside

C、between

D、along

标准答案：C

知识点解析：后面出现了两个国家，两者之间应该用“between”。

28、

A^forecast

B、think

C、choose

D、expect

标准答案：D

知识点解析：这里要表达一种期望(expectation)而不是预报(forecast)、看法或选

择。即“我们期望设备能在你们所要求的两三天之内到达。”

29、

A、guess

B、value

C、estimate

D、judgement

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据上下文来看，这里所提到的是运输时间，不包括包装时间。其他

词和上下文不符。

30、

A、end

B、carry

C、bring

D、take

标准答案：B

知识点解析：carryout进行、完成:bringout出版、生产；takeout拿出、取出:

end一般不与oul连用。木句意思为：我理解你们希望自己进行包装。由此看来只

能选B.carryoutpacking(进行包装)。

31、

A、part

section

C、piece

D、bit

标准答案：A

知识点解析：pari此处指“零部件"；section指“一部分”；piece指“一片、一张”等；

bit指“一小块”。

32、

A^kindness

B、approval

C、permission

D、allowance

标准答案：B

知识点解析：“我希望这些初始细节能得到你的同意……”，这里只有approval（赞

成、批准）和此句的含义相符。pennission（许可、允许）和allowance（津贴、补助、

宽容）都不够准确。

33、

A、dial

B、connect

C、reach

D、contact

标准答案：D

知识点解析：”有任何建议希望你们马上与我们联系Ldi—al指拨电话联系，

connect指利用接线员进行的电话连接，reachsb.byphone/onthephone多指与某人

用电话取得联系，以上三个词都具体指出用某种方式进行联系，过于具体化。

contact指以任何一种通信方式取得联系，没有前几个词的局限性，比较准确恰

forSearchforExtra-TerrestrialIntelligence.)

1、Theyareoftenusedforjobslikeengineeringdesignandtesting,seriousdecryption,

economicforecasting,etc.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：段落D是有关巨型计算机的，其主要特点是：performtheenormous

numberofcalculations(进行巨量的计算工作)，如天气预报、大型科学模型的计算

等,这与本题中提到的工程设计与测试(cngineeiingdesignandles—ling),大型密码

解密(seriousdecryplion)和经济预测(economicforecasling)等，这歧都需要大量且复

杂的计算，故D是正确答案。

2、Manypublicschoolsnowemploy(hedevicesforprogrammedlearningandcomputer

literacycourses.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：段落A是有关微型计算机，从文中可以看出，它就是与我们常说的

personalcompiler(个人电脑)相近，因此，在学校机房和家庭里使用的电脑都是

microcomputer。因此，A是正确答案。

3、Computersaredesignedforuseinhomes,schools,andofficesettings.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：参看上文，微型计算机就是为家庭、学校和办公室里设计的，用来满

足我们日常工作和学习中佗一般应用。

4、IfyoudevoteyourcomputerforthisprojectEntropie(modelingevolutionof

resistancetodrugsanddesigningbetterAIDStreatments),youmightbeaskedtoloada

smallscreen-saverprogramontoyourowncomputer.

标准答案：E

知识£解析：段落E是关于光栅电脑的，严格意义上讲，它不是一种电脑类型，

但是从此文介绍可知，众多电脑通过网络资源连接在一起做一些公益的或者有兴趣

的项R如文中提到的探寻外空间智能生物的研究。如果你希望参与对苣滋病有关项

目的研究，那么，你的电脑就成为光栅电脑网络的一分子。故E是正确答案。

5、Theyarcusedforjobsthattakemassiveamountsofcalculating.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：前文提到巨型计算机的主要特点是进行巨量的计算工作，如天气预

报、大型科学模型的复杂计算等，因此D是正确答案。

6、Theyarcusuallyusedintransactionprocessingapplications.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：段落B是关于小型计算机的，其主要特点就是：amid-levelcomputer

builtlopcrfonncomplcxcomputationso也就是说，这类计算机侧重于单项任务的计

算工作，如财务统计，销售计算等，因此，商业往来的交易处理应该是小型机的工

作,故B是正确答案。

7、Theyareoftensharedbymanyusersconnectedtothecomputer.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：段落C是关于主机的。其主要的特点就是通过终端把众多的用户连

接起来(ofiensharedbymultipleusersconnectedtothecompuierviaterminals),它服务

于和管理电子网络，故C是正确答案。

二、段落完型(本题共5题，每题1.0分，共5分。)
