Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late f

31、or her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked“ King Enterprises,“ she knocked at the

32、 door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had

33、 had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughte

34、r as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Fina

35、lly she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office, Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the days work in the office

36、began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and Came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working. 46 Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _. （ A） it wa

37、s her first day in a new job （ B） she was a little bit late for work （ C） she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place （ D） there was no answer from inside the office 47 Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as _. （ A） she had been there only once （ B） Mr. King was not in the

39、 infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise _. （ A） would start their work by listening to a joke （ B） were cold to newcomers （ C） were always punctual for work （ D） lacked devotion to the company 50 The best title for this text would be _. （ A） punctual Like A Clock （ B） a Cold Welcom

40、e （ C） an Unpunctual Manager （ D） better Late Than Never 50 Although one might not think so from some of the criticism of it, advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and a very considerable proportion of the world at large, live. Advertising is necessar

41、y as a means of communicating with others, of telling them about the goods and services that are offered, and of which most of them would never get to hear at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising helps a great deal to promote a rising standard of living. In talking about advertising,

42、one should not think only in terms of a commercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest sense, advertising includes a host of other activities such as packaging, shop displays and -in the sense of communication- even the spoken word of the salesman. Afte

43、r all, the roots of advertising are to be found in the market place. For many years it was thought that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the production of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can

44、be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is essential that we go out and sell what we have to offer, and advertising plays an important role in this respect, whether selling at home or in export markets. Approximately 2 percent of the UK

45、gross national product is spent on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Of course, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential consumer, but if the article when purchased does not match up to the standa

46、rds that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously exceedingly unlikely that the article will sell well. 51 According to the text, advertising is important to _. （ A） every potential consumer in the world （ B） large countries in the world （ C） people with a high standard of living （ D）

49、money is spent on advertising （ C） advertisements are well designed （ D） they are of high quality 55 The best title of this passage would be _. （ A） benefits of Advertising （ B） a Brief History of Advertising in the UK （ C） limitations of Advertising （ D） production and Advertising 55 Fishing adds only about 1 percent to the global economy, but on a regional basis it can contribute enormously to human survival.
