17、Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the【 1】 production of goods, and then relied on “persuasive salesmanship“ to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then【 2】 them into money. Market
18、ing,【 3】 , focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods【 4】 will satisfy them. This eye-on the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that【 5】 trying to sell whatever is easiest to
19、 produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase. This concept does not imply that business is benevolent or that consumer satisfaction is given【 6】 over profit in a company. There are alwa
20、ys two sides to every business transaction-the firm and customer-and each must be satisfied【 7】 trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and【 8】 customers. In mid-1985, Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. A s
21、ignificant portion of the public did not accept the new flavor, bring about a【 9】 restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed【 10】 the new, King Customer ruled. （ A） productive （ B） efficient （ C） affluent （ D） proficient （ A） convert （ B） transform （ C） switch （ D） modify （ A） on the c
22、ontrary （ B） in the meantime （ C） however （ D） on the other hand （ A） what （ B） then （ C） that （ D） and （ A） ahead of （ B） while （ C） prior to （ D） instead of （ A） superiority （ B） privilege （ C） prejudice （ D） priority （ A） before （ B） after （ C） while （ D） then （ A） looking up to （ B） adjusting to
23、 （ C） catering to （ D） adapting to （ A） proper （ B） prompt （ C） prominent （ D） profound （ A） by （ B） with （ C） alongside （ D） as 45 A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the【 11】 time and is never late in keeping an appointment. He knows that he can not get through his immense amount
24、 of work【 12】 he faithfully keeps every【 13】 promptly and deals with every piece of work【 14】 it has to be attended to. There is a【 15】 which says, “Time flies, never to be recalled.“ Time is more【 16】 than material things. The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the p
25、roper time. He is always【 17】 that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments【 18】 . Friends sometimes grow cold towards each other, or even become enemies, because one of them has been remiss in answering letters or keeping appointments. Tile punctual man is a source o
26、f annoyance【 19】 to others and to himself. Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to doing one s duty, whether public or private. Failure to be punctual in【 20】 one s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted
27、by his friends or fellow men. In the end, he loses both time and his good name. 四、 Chinese-English Translation 56 人们很容易被暂短的友谊所蒙蔽，这种友谊看起来牢固，而实际上是表面的(superficial)。友谊与友善不是同义词。美国人待人友善，但这并不意味着发展友谊，暂短的接触并不表明将来愿意继续保持联系。只有当人们拥有共同的兴趣、爱好和共同的人生观时，持久的友谊才有可能发展。美国社会高度的流动性也是造成人们不能保持长久友谊的原因之一。 57 一个性格矜持的人不太愿意与陌生人交谈
28、，感情不大外露，也很少激动。他从不向别人谈起自己的事，也许你和他共事几年，却根本不知道他住在哪儿，也不知道他对什么感兴趣。英国人 就是这样，他们不愿与他人交往，所以就给人一种不好客，甚至冷淡的印象。 五、 Writing 58 There is a growing tendency these days for universities to offer courses that help graduates to find employment.
