18、The greatest magicians today are 1 the physicists and chemists, the mathematicians and astronomers: the wise men seeking the answers 2 the riddles of earth and universe. But 3 of them can tell us how to walk 4 a floor, “by the law of gravitation“ 5 the readiest answer 6 that. Gravitation is 7 the mo
19、st familiar thing in all the world, and we were all brought 8 on the story of Newton and his apple and the law of gravitation. 9 physicists have begun to say that gravitation may be 10 an illusion. If it is an illusion, 11 it is pure magic that 12 our feet on the ground and our furniture 13 floating
20、 off into space. And who cares, 14 the magic works and the illusion is 15 ? It is all a matter of vocabulary 16 , for no two scholars have ever agreed 17 a definition of magic; but there is no denying 18 every time man has finally understood and explained a 19 he has ceased to call it magic and call

Several people connect over the Internet and agree to contact a seller of a specific product so that th
24、ey can buy the same item as a group at a lower price. And the sellers benefit by selling many products at once. When people agree on group buying, individual members of the buying group can vouch for (替担保) a particular seller“s quality to the rest of the group, therefore Tuangou helps change a tradi
25、tional distrust of goods purchased from unknown sellers. Similar phenomena exist in Europe and North America. However, most of the group buying in these places is organized and done not by the team members themselves, but through online go-betweens.（分数：10.00）(1).Where did Tuangou begin?（分数：2.00）A.In
26、 America.B.In Europe.C.In North America.D.In China.(2).Buyers purchase goods as a group in order to _.（分数：2.00）A.save moneyB.connect over the InternetC.buy different itemsD.make friends(3).Sellers in the group buying benefit by _.（分数：2.00）A.paying lessB.selling many products at onceC.bargaining with

28、is not accepted by peopleD.buyers never purchase goods from unknown sellers(5).What does the word “go-betweens“ mean in the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.Online shopping.B.Going from one place to another.C.Traveling between two places.D.Persons or companies that pass messages between sellers and buyers五
29、、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When I was learning calligraphy (书法), my teacher told me a story. A calligrapher taught handwriting. One of his students who often practiced handwriting with old sheets of newspaper complained that he made very little progress though he had learned it with the calligraphe
30、r for a long time. His teacher said to him, “Try to use the best paper. Maybe you“ll write better.“ The student did as he was told. It really worked. He made headway not long afterwards and felt curious. He asked his teacher about the reason. The calligrapher answered,“ When you used old newspaper t
31、o practice handwriting, you would think you were writing a draft (草稿). It didn“t matter if you wrote badly as old newspaper was plenty in supply. In that case you wouldn“t pay much attention to it. Now you use the best paper and you“ll treasure it. Each time you write you feel strongly about the rar
32、ity (稀少) of chances and you“ll devote to it with all your heart and soul; you“ll do the handwriting much more attentively than practicing. Of course you“ve made rapid progress.“ Indeed, we spend our ordinary days just as they are worthless “old newspaper“. We don“t care if we scrawl and waste it, th
33、inking that it will come endlesslythe “old newspaper“ is inexhaustible. In such a mood we may pass each day by opportunities but fail to catch any of them. Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used. In everyday life there“s no chance for us to draft. That“s bec
34、ause what we call “draft“ actually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed. Every day of our life is something new. Let us take every day as a sheet of the best paper.（分数：10.00）(1).The calligrapher in the story told the student to write on the best paper because he thought _.（分数：2.00）A.t
35、he student would practice more carefully on the best paperB.it was comfortable to write on the best paperC.the student had enough money to buy the best paperD.the student could write more on the best paper(2).The student didn“t make much progress at first because _.（分数：2.00）A.he didn“t follow his te
36、acher“s adviceB.he was too poor to buy better paper to write onC.he regarded his writing on old newspaper just as a draftD.he was not used to the calligrapher“s teaching manner(3).We learn from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.the student finally gave upB.the student made rapid progress by practicing m
37、ore carefullyC.the calligrapher was strict with his studentsD.old newspaper is not useful(4).Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.What teachers say is always true.B.Success calls for attentiveness.C.Handwriting is easy to practice.D.New things are always better than old
38、 ones.(5).The writer wants to tell us that _.（分数：2.00）A.there are some good ways to practice handwritingB.life is like old newspaperC.we should learn from the student in the storyD.life will not give us a chance to draw a draft六、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)To understand the marketing concept, it is
39、 only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on “persuasive salesmanship“ to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuse
40、s on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money. Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach
41、is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor (努力) to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase. This concept does not imply
42、 that business is benevolent (慈善的) or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transactionthe firm and the customerand each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that th
43、e surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brou
44、ght about a prompt restoration (恢复) of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside new. King Customer ruled!（分数：10.00）(1).The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, _.（分数：2.00）A.the practice of turning goods into moneyB.making goods available for purchaseC.the customer-ce
45、ntered approachD.a form of persuasive salesmanship(2).What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?（分数：2.00）A.The needs of the market.B.The efficiency of production.C.The satisfaction of the user.D.The preferences of the dealer.(3).According to the pas
46、sage, “to move as much of these goods as possible“ (Para. 1) means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.to sell the largest possible amount of goodsB.to transport goods as efficiently as possibleC.to dispose of these goods in large quantitiesD.to redesign these goods for large-scale production(4).What does the restoratio
47、n of the Classic Coke best illustrate?（分数：2.00）A.Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.B.It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.C.Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.D.Products must be designed to suit the taste of the c
48、onsumer.(5).In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on _.（分数：2.00）A.its main characteristicB.its social impactC.its possible consequenceD.its theoretical basis七、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)According to psychologists (心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something a
49、s either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created b
