四、阅读理解（40）
A
Most nations today recognize the importance of marketing. Indeed, economic growth in developing nations depends greatly on the ability to design effective marketing systems for their raw materials and industrial output.
Today, a global marketplace is becoming known. In many(perhaps most) national market, companies from a good many countries compete aggressively( 激烈的)
Consider the US market, for instance. Until the late 1970s, the United States provided a large domestic(本国的) market for American firms, and there was no significant foreign competition in most industries in that market. But the picture changed greatly through the 1980s as foreign firms improved their products, and then successfully entered the American market. Many imported products have achieved large sales-office equipment, cars, clothes, watched, semiconductors, and consumer electronics( TVs, stereos), for example. As a result the United States has been running large annual (每年的) trade deficits(赤字), meaning that imports are much more than exports.
In the early 1980s, the competition facing US firms came primarily from Japanese companies and the companies in the four “ Asian tigers” (Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong) added to competitive pressures. In the 1990s, continuing competition from these Pacific Rim countries and regions will be increased by a new challenge from Western Europe. Starting in 1992, the 12-nation European community will increase internal trade barriers (障碍物，障碍) and accept uniform technical, financial, and marketing standards. A more integrated(使完全，结合成一体) European Community will open major marketing opportunities for internationally minded US firms, but at the same time, it is expected to stiffen(使变得激烈) competition.
More and more American firms ---- many large ones and even some rather small ones are moving into foreign markets. Many companies are concluding that achieving profit and growth objectives is most likely through a combination of domestic and international marketing rather than one and only reliance(信任，信赖) on domestic marketing.
56. The underlined words “ a global marketplace” means __________.
A. a very large national market B. a very large American market
C. an international market where companies from numerous countries compete
D. a domestic market where a good many companies compete
57. In the late 1970s, __________.
A. there began to have some foreign competition
B. there was significant foreign competition
C. there was intense foreign competition
D, no foreign firms entered the American market at all.
58. Which of the following doesn’t belong to Pacific Rim countries?
A. Korea B. Singapore C. Japan D. India
59. The competition from Western Europe is a result of __________
A. removing of trade barriers between United States and European 12 nations.
B. major marketing opportunities for US firms
C. a united European community D. expectation of stiff competition
60. The best title of the passage should be __________.
A. In the US Market B. In the National Market
C. In the International Market D. In the Domestic Market
B
ABC is one of the three major American television networks(网络). Historically, ABC may be distinguished from CBS and NBC by certain elements in its programming and business activities. As the last of the three major networks to come into existence, ABC had to succeed without established shows, or the stars who were already under contract to the other networks. The network turned to the motion picture studios(电影制片厂) and made television history by convincing them that they should produce for the small screen as well as the large screen. For the first time, Hollywood’s major studios began producing for network television. Beginning with Walt Disney in 1954 and Warner Bros in 1995. later it would become common practice for the studios to produce television programs.
ABC pioneered programming for young adult audiences. This began in the 1950s, and when ABC became the first-place network in the mid-1970s, several of its prime time series(系列剧) were targeted for young audiences. Some credit(赞誉) the network with having pioneered the miniseries(系列短剧). It broadcast TV first miniseries, QB VII, in 1974. In 1977 ABC broadcast Roots over seven nights, and achieved record TV ratings. Through the years ABC had also been strong in its daytime lineup(专题节目) and in sports. It has broadcast more Olympics than either of the other networks.

Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Chilkoot Pass, the famous trial used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is unknown. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved out of ice? Or did she throw away goods that she did not need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100,000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to across a harsh wilderness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather. The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.
66. The ordinary woman’s leather shoe is considered unusual because __________.
A. it was an important clue to life in the past
B. it was found near a famous trial
C. it at one time belonged to a VIP
D. it was a fashionable shoe at that time
67. According to the passage, many people who went to Alaska __________.
A. eventually became millionaires B. brought with many shoes
C. had fights with the Eskimos D. were not properly equipped
68. The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that __________.
A. they would not die of hunger and cold
B. the army would have enough food for fighting a war.
C. they would trade these goods with the Eskimos
D. the supplies would make Alaska richer and stronger
69. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe__________.
A. she must have lived a happy life.
B. she certainly drooped the shoe on purpose
C. her adventurous spirit is certainly admirable
D. her other shoes were equally fashionable
70. The author of this passage would like us to remember that__________.
A. “gold fever” was not worth the lives of many people
B. simple objects can stimulate our imagination
C. lost shoes should be sent to museums for exhibition
D. Alaska was not a place suitable for making a living
D
Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive.
If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat, since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction. You need to send a signal telling others you want to be left along. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist, Erving Goffman(1963) calls “ a dimming of the lights.” You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contact for more than 3secinds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For Instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals “ I know you”, “ I am interested in you, or “you look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feeling.
71. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that __________.
A. every glance has its meaning
B. staring at a person is an expression of interest
C. a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D. a glance expressed more meaning than words
72. By “ a dimming of the lights (para.1) Erving Goffman means “__________”
A. closing one’s eyes B. turning off the lights
C. stopping glancing at others D. reducing gaze-time properly
73. How long should a gaze last if a man wants to show love for a woman?
A. All the time B. For at most 2 seconds
C. For 3 seconds D. It all depends
74. If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel __________.
A. unhappy
B. uneasy
C. curious
D. amused
75. The passage mainly discussed __________.
A. the limitations of eye contact
B. the exchange of ideas through eyes contact
C. proper behavior in some situations
D. the role of eye contact in communication
