This fact, (21)_(couple) with the disappearance of the so-called “landfill crisis” of the mid-1990s, means that recycling has not caught on, which runs _(22) some environmentalists wishes.However, many cities have fou

Theyve also found profitable markets for the recyclables(可回收物) (23)_ cast-off items are acceptable or even welcome. Increased efforts by green groups (24)_(educate) the public about the benefits of recycling ha

In these cities, recyclables are banned from both household and business garbage. Families (26)_ recycle all basic recyclables, such as paper,

New York, a national leader on recycling, decided to stop its least cost-effective recycling programs (plastic and gla

23、oritiesF. struggled G. original H. practical I. luxury J. blanketed K. assumeWilliam Shakespeare came from a modest start, but finished life living in a(n) _31_ house in Stratford-upon-Avon, with a coat of arms and a series of business investments to his name.So was William Shakespeare a businessman

24、, as well as a writer?Researchers have uncovered information from historical documents that point to Shakespeare being a greedy businessman, anxious to grab every penny whose practices caused _32_in his lifetime.The academics believe that many of Shakespeares doubtful business dealings have been _33

25、_ by peoples romantic view of him as a creative genius who made his money through acting and writing plays. The idea that Shakespeare gave the world such wonderful narratives, language and entertainment makes it uncomfortable to even _34_ that he was simply motivated by his own thirst for financial

26、interest.Shakespeare was a grain businessman almost for his life time. He bought and stored grain and then sold it on to his neighbors at high prices.In the late 16thand early 17thCentury a bad weather gripped England. The cold and rain resulted in poor harvests and _35_ severe lack of food. Referre

27、d to as the Little Ice Age, the period was the time when thousands of people _36_ for survival.

29、9_ pursuing Shakespeare for his evil dealings during Little Ice Age, Shylocks tragic fate was a real fear for Shakespeare.Shakespeares _40_ funeral monument at Holy Trinity Church was a bag of grain which implied that he prided himself on his role as a grain businessman as well as on his writing. It

30、 was not until the 18thcentury that the bag of grain was replaced by a pillow.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The sights

31、, sounds, and smells of the modern marketplace are rarely accidental. More likely, they are tools of an evolving strategy ofpsychological marketingcalled “sensory marketing” to create an emotional association to a(n) _41_ product or brand.By relating to people in a far more _42_way through everyones

32、 own senses, sensory marketing is able toaffect people in a way that traditional mass marketing cannot.Traditional marketing believes that consumers will systematically consider_43_ product factors like price, features, and utility. Sensory marketing, by contrast, seeks to resort to the consumers li

33、fe experiences and feelings. Sensory marketing believes that people, as consumers, will act according to their emotional urge more than to their _44_ reasoning. In this way, an effective sensory marketing effort can result in consumers choosing to buy a lovely but expensive product, rather than a pl

34、ain but cheap _45_.In the past, communications with customers were mainly monologues companies just talked at consumers. Then they evolved into dialogues, with customers providing _46_. Now theyre becoming multidimensional conversations, with products finding their own voices and consumers respondin

35、g _47_ to them.Based on the implied messages received through five senses, consumers, without noticing it, tend to apply human-like personalities to brands, leading to intimate relationship and, hopefully for the brands, persistent _48_. And thats the very thing brands are dying to foster in custome

36、rs rather than instant trend or profits. Most brands are considered to have either sincere or exciting personalities.Sincere brands like IBM and Boeing tend to be regarded as conservative and reliable while exciting brands like Apple, and Ferrari are as imaginative and _49_. In general, consumers te

37、nd to form _50_ relationships with sincere brands than with exciting ones.This explains the relatively enduring history of the “Sincere Brands”Certainly, with the eyes containing two-thirds of all the _51_cells in a persons body, sight is considered the most important of all human senses. Sensory ma

38、rketing uses sight to create a memorable sight experience of the product for consumers which extends to packaging, store interiors, and printed advertising to form a(n) _52_ image for the brand. In other words, no aspect of a product design is left to _53_ anymore, especially color. Brand acceptance

39、 is linked closely with the appropriateness of the colors on the branddoes the color _54_ the product at all? If not, customers, though not realizing it themselves, will _55_ the brands in all possible ways-sales, reputation, etc. Therefore, brands, isnt it time now to study the new field of marketi

44、 sheer cliffs of snow, stones and ice, 38-year-old Kamicar emerged in his base camp after five hours of skiing. “I feel only absolute happiness and absolute tiredness,” he said.At one stage he had to speed over stretches of ice that collapsed and broke underneath him and could have sent him falling

45、into the deep crevasses(裂缝) that dot the mountain.The descent(下落) had been seen by many as insanely dangerous. The Darwin Awards website, which documents deaths which are foolhardy, urged people to log on to Internet broadcasts of the attempt. “Keep your eyes peeled for a live Darwin Award,” it said

46、.However, the only body to make the news was the corpse(尸体) of an unknown mountaineer which Kamicar zipped past as he descended, one of an estimated 120 corpses, thought to litter the slopes.“This mountain is always full of surprises. Seeing a dead man out there was a really shocking experience,” he

47、 said.Thanks to strategically placed cameras on the mountain and one attached to his safety helmet, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed his descent on the Internet, which was one of the record highs ever. During the run more than 650,000 hits were registered on his expedition website jamming it for a time as others tried to access the site.Weather conditions were so severe that Kamicar had to aband
