Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 The eight airlines of the One-world alliance have joined forces to giv
30、e world travelers a simple way to plan and book a round-the-world journey. Its called the One-world Explorer program. One-world Explorer is the perfect solution for a once-in-a lifetime holiday or an extend ed business trip. Its a great way for you to explore the four comers of the earth in the safe
31、 hands of the eight One-world airlines. You can have hundreds of destinations to choose from, because the One-world network covers the globe. And, as you travel around the world, youll have the support of 260,000 people from all our airlines, who are devoted to the success of your journey, helping y
32、ou make smooth transfers and offering support all along the way. The One-world goal is to make global travel easier and more rewarding for everyone of our travelers. We try our best to make you feel at home, no matter how far from home your journey may take you. We can offer travelers benefits on a
33、scale beyond the reach of our individual networks. Youll find more people and more information to guide you at every stage of your trip, making transfers smoother and global travel less of a challenge. 46 One-world in the passage refers to_ （ A） a travel agency （ B） a union of airlines （ C） a series
34、 of tourist attractions （ D） the title of a flight program 47 The One-world Explorer program is said to be most suitable for those who_ （ A） have been to the four corners of the earth （ B） travel around the world on business （ C） want to explore the eight airlines （ D） need support all along the way

This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldnt know whats h
38、appening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨 ) is based on the human body being open to pain. But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧 ) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs ca
39、n put a needle fight through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,“ it helps us to
40、accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation (感觉 ), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life. 51 The human body has developed a system
41、of nerves that enables us to_ （ A） stay relaxed （ B） avoid pain （ C） stand torture （ D） feel pain 52 What does the writer mean by saying “we pay for our sensitivity“ in the first paragraph? （ A） We have to take care of our sense of pain. （ B） We suffer from our sense of feeling. （ C） We should try h
42、ard to resist pain. （ D） We are hurt when we feel pain. 53 When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that_ （ A） fakirs possess magic power （ B） Indians are not afraid of pain （ C） people can learn to cope with pain （ D） some people are born without a sense of pain 54 What is essential for
43、people to stand pain according to the writer? （ A） Their relaxation. （ B） Their interest. （ C） Their nerves. （ D） Their attitude. 55 The author believes that_ （ A） feeling pain is part of our life （ B） pain should be avoided at all costs （ C） feeling pain can be an interesting thing （ D） magic power
44、 is essential for reducing pain 55 Why do some new products succeed, bring millions of dollars to innovative companies, while others fail, often with great losses7 The answer is not simple, and certainly we cannot say that “good“ products succeed while “bad“ products fail. Many products that functio
45、n well and seem to meet consumer needs have fallen by the wayside. Sometimes, virtually identical products exist in the market at the same time with one emerging as profitable while the other fails. Mc. Neal Laboratories Tylenol has become successful as an aspirin substitute, yet Bristol Meyers ente
46、red the test market at about the same time with Neotrend, also a substitute for aspirin which quickly failed. The nature of the product is a factor in its success or failure, but the important point is that they should aim at meeting the customers need, and the introductory promotion should seek to
47、communicate that need satisfying quality and motivate the customer to try the product. Often, attitude change is involved, and, in the extreme, changes in life style may be sought. Here the company walks a tightrope. A new product is more likely to be successful if it represents a truly novel way of
48、 solving a customer problem, but this very newness, if carried too far, may ask the customer to learn new behavior patterns. The customer will make the change if the perceived benefit is sufficient, but inertia is strong and consumers will often not go to the effort that is required. During the late
49、 sixties and early seventies Bristol Meyers met with new product failures that exemplify both of these problems. In 1967 and 1968 the company entered the market with a $ 5 million advertising campaign for fact toothpaste, and an $11 million campaign to promote resolve. Both products failed quickly, not be cause they didnt work or because there was no consumer need, but apparently because consumers just could see
