Each passage is followed by five questions. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage 1The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are as closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.In the investigational market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fair and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us some opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.21. In making market investigations, one should_A.A. get enough information concernedB. advertise his productsC. produce high quality goodsD. none of above22. The word "indispensable“ in the first line means B.A. impossibleB. EssentialC. advisable D. available23. Which of the following statement is NOT true? _DA. The relationship between market investigation and sales promotion is just as that of the lips and teeth.B. It is impossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigation.C. There are various ways of making market investigation.D. Production goes before market investigation.24. Making market investigation is important because D.A. in market goods on sale are numerousB. every producer is facing keencompetitionC. it can greatly promote salesD. all of the above25. All of the following are channels to get market information EXCEPT B.A. to have commercial counselor's office of our embassies stationed abroadB. to promote the quality of our own productsC. to send trade groups abroad every now and thenD. to have face-to-face talks with foreign businessmenPassage 2Because we can feel that things are heavy, we think of weight as being a fixed quality in an object, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space? The reason is this: All objects have a natural attraction for all other objects; this is called gravitational attraction, but this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart. When the butter was at the surface of the earth, it was 4,000 miles from the centre (in other words, the radius of the earth is 4,000 miles). When we took the butter 4,000 miles out, it was 8,000 miles from the centre, which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two subjects, their gravitational attraction decreases two times two. If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker (three times three). If you take it four times as far away, it gets sixteen times weaker (four times four) and so on.26. The best title for this passage is D.A. The Earth WeightB. Weight in SpaceC. Changing Weight on the earthD. Weight on and off the Earth27. We can feel things are heavy becauseC.A. weight is a fixed quality in an objectB. they are far away from the centre of the earthC. of the earth's strong attraction for themD. they are not taken away from the surface of the earth28. If the distance between two objects is shortened by half, their gravitational attraction will _B_.A. doubleB. become four times strongerC. be the sameD. get four times weaker29. If an object weighed one pound 8,000 miles above the earth, it would weigh_B_ on the surface of the earth.A. 6 poundsB. 4 poundsC. 9 poundsD. 1/9 pound30. Gravitational attraction is _D.A. fixedB. quite weakC. quite strongD. not fixedPassage 3The development of Jamestown in Virginia during the second half of the seventeenth century was closely related to the making and using of bricks. There are several practical reasons why bricks became important to the colony.Although the forests could initially supply sufficient timber, the process of limbering was extremely difficult, particularly because of the lack of roads. Later, when the timber on the peninsula had been depleted, wood had to be brought from some distance. Building stone was also in short supply. However, as clay was plentiful, it was inevitably that the colonists would turn to brickmaking.In addition to practical reasons for using brick as the principal construction material, there was also an ideological reason. Brick represented durability and permanence. The Virginia company of London instructed the colonists to build hospitals and new residences out of brick. In 1662, the town Act of the Virginia Assembly provided for the construction of thirty-two brick buildings and prohibited the use of wood as a construction material. Had this law ever been successfully enforced, Jamestown would have been a model city. Instead, the residents failed to comply fully with the law; and by 1699 Jamestown had collapsed into a pile of rubble with only three or four houses where people could stay.31. .What is the subject of this message? 4A. The reasons for brickmaking in Jamestown.B. The cause of the failure of Jamestown.C. The laws of the Virginia colonists.D. The problems of the early American colonists.32.In the first half of the 1600,s, most buildings in Jamestown were probably made of _C_?A. earthB. stoneC. woodD. brick33.Which of the following was NOT a reason for using bricks in construction? DA. Wood had to be brought from some distance.B. There was a considerable clay available.C. The lumbering process depended on good roads.D. The timber was not of good quality.34.1 t can be inferred from the passage that Jamestown was established on D.A. a rocky peninsula with a small forested areaB. a barren peninsula near other townsC. an inhabitable peninsula with few natural resourcesD. a wooded peninsula with a clay soil.35.It can be inferred from the passage that settlers who built with bricks in the 1660,s were_B_.A. planning to return to EnglandB. obeying the lawsC. not concerned about durabilityD. interested in larger residence三、填空题（用所给词语的正确形式填空，每小题2分，共计10分。）Directions: Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the given word in the brackets after each sentence.41 .Herdescription of the meeting is an exact reproduction of the reunion, （describe）42 .Most tour companies insist on advance payment when a booking is made, （pay） 43.When he was a soldier, he often was confronted with danger.（confront）四、句子翻译题（每小题2分，共计10分。）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English.46 .这个男孩下定决心成为一名优秀的工程师。This boy made up his mind to become an excellent engineer.47 .他有足够的勇气来战胜疾病。He has enough courage to overcome/beat the disease.48 .我现在说的这一点与那天说的紧密相关。This point I am stating is closely related to that stated the other day.五、写作（共20分。）Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Global Shortage of Fresh Water.

Every year there is enough rain. And there is plenty of fresh water in the rivers and lakes. What is more, we have a lot of underground water.Actually, fresh water is in a short supply. Due to the rapid population increase, fresh water consumption remains great. Besides, with the development of industry, more water is needed. Moreover, a lot of our rivers and lakes have been so polluted that water from them is undrinkable.We must take measures to solve the problem of water shortage. First, population growth should be slowed down to reduce fresh water need. Second, pollution should be controlled to purify fresh water in the rivers and lakes. Last, we should cherish every drop of water in our daily life.
