(40 points) 21 One key answer to the problem of finding and keeping customers and turning their good will into sales is having good customer relationship ma
11、nagement (CRM). CRMs goal is to create a cooperation among sales, marketing, and customer-service activities within an organization in order to obtain and retain customers. CRM on the Internet e-CRM uses Web technology to create such a cooperation. E-CRM means different things to different companies
12、. Some enter e-CRM through traditional contact-management and sales-force automation software from such vendors as Gold Mine Software Corp. or Interact Commerce Corp. Many companies see e-CRM as a natural extension of their call centers. In an ideal system, historical information, such as customers
13、buying preferences, or circumstantial information, such as customer-contract volumes, can launch actions and data screens. Finally, companies with corporate enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems see e-CRM as a natural part of computer-facilitated management. You dont need to begin on a grand sc
14、ale; you can take small steps toward a comprehensive e-CRM system with experienced contact management companies such as Commence Corp. Gold Mine Software Corp., Interact Commerce Corp., and Multiactive Software. GoldMine 5.0 is aimed at teams of 1 to 50 users who want to track, refer, and act on tel
15、ephone and e-mail contacts from customers. The users neednt reside on a local network to coordinate an action. All each user needs is an IP address. Gold Mine Front Office offers templates for specific industries; these define roles and relationships and include rules for workflow processes. Similar
16、ly, Interact Commerce Corp. has a multi-layer product family, including ACT2000 and SalesLogix2000. Each can integrate the activities of sales, marketing, and support teams. Smaller organizations can also take advantage of the services of dot-com companies such as and UpS, which focus primarily on
17、sales-force automation. These companies will put your basic e-CRM services online for under $50 per user per month. On the downside, you dont get much customization or integration. Some e-CRM companies have fewer options, and often concentrate on vertical markets. Janna Systems, for example, special
18、izes in e-CRM solutions for the financial services industry. Some companies, such as eGain Communications Corp. and Talisma Corp. specialize in e-mail based CRM and offer both hosted and online services. Socrates Technologies Corp. takes the online ASP approach and offers the SalesLogix2000 suite on

24、gy crisis, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the careless use of the earths resources has brought the whole world to the brink of disaster. The over-development of motor transport, with its increase of more cars, more highways, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has
25、 contributed to the near-destruction of our cities, the breakup of the family, and the pollution not only of local air but also of the earths atmosphere. The disaster has arrived in the form of the energy crisis. Our present situation is unlike war, revolution or depression. It is also unlike the gr
26、eat natural disasters of the past. Worldwide resources exploitation and energy use have brought us to a state where long-range planning is essential. What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state, which endangers the future of our country, our children, and our earth, but a movemen
27、t forward to a new norm in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems. This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss morality and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places in the land. There is a strong demand for moral revival a
28、nd for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all. In the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own ideals that people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly. This is the first time that we have been asked to
29、 defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other inhabitants of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need to reassess our present course, to change that course and to devise new methods through which the wor
30、ld can survive. This is a priceless opportunity. To grasp it we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis confronting us and the world is no passing inconvenience, no byproduct of the ambitions of the oil-producing countries, no environmentalists mere fears, no byproduct of any present
31、 system of government. What we face is the outcome of the invention of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed life style. This new life style can flow directly from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on a sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of life for th
32、e worlds children and future generation. 26 Which condition does the author feel has nearly destroyed our cities? （ A） Lack of financial planning. （ B） The breakup of the family. （ C） Natural disasters in many regions. （ D） The excessive growth of motors. 27 According to the author, what is one exam
33、ple of our loss of morality? （ A） Disregard for law. （ B） Lack of devotion. （ C） Lack of cooperation. （ D） Exploitation of resources. 28 By comparing past problems with present ones, the author draws attention to the （ A） significance of this crisis. （ B） inadequacy of governments. （ C） similarity o
34、f the past to the present. （ D） hopelessness of the situation. 29 What contribution does the author feel people must make now? （ A） Search for new energy sources. （ B） Ban motor transportation. （ C） Accept a new life style. （ D） Adopt a new form of government. 30 The author wrote the passage in orde
35、r to （ A） call for cooperation of the whole world. （ B） inform the readers of the fact that we are facing energy crisis. （ C） recommend a new life style. （ D） call for devotion to the nature and our future generation. 31 Science is the never-ending struggle to find truth. You may dismiss this statem
36、ent as the rambling of an amateur philosopher, but it holds some practical value. Truth is a temporary phenomenon. It is limited by human communication systems, technology, and skills. For example, during the Dark Ages in Europe, the world was perceived as flat. This flatness was acceptable as “trut
37、h“ because travel and human knowledge of celestial phenomena were so limited that no other concept was needed. A family lived in a small area and confined its activity to a small region. This region appeared to be flat, so for all practical purposes, the earth was flat, too. When travel and explorat
38、ion became widespread, and especially when ships were able to sail far out on the Atlantic, the vision of a flat earth had to change. Many observations of stars and planets and of ships movements at sea led to new principles and to a new truth. Those who were in the position to do so could exploit t
39、he new truth about the earths shape and turn it into riches. The Spanish, knowing they would not fall off the edge of a flat earth, found the New World and brought gold and silver back to Spain. The situation has not changed much since the Dark Ages. Truth is still sought because it has value, and t
40、he scientific method remains the most systematic way of pursuing it. The method starts with a problem. Once the problem is well defined, information that might have an effect on it is gathered. The information is sorted and analyzed, and that which is useful is kept to be used as a basis for general
41、 principles. In the social sciences, the principles are often used to help formulate policies. The policies ultimately are aimed at removing the problem and improving peoples lives. In economics (and in other social sciences), the pursuit of truth is slowed because human behavior cannot be subjected
42、 to the kinds of controlled experiments that are possible with white rats and guinea pigs. The economist must follow the steps in a search for new truths about economic behavior, but following them is frustrating and often leads up blind alleys. Nevertheless, problems, facts, principles, and policie
43、s must be considered in a systematic way. 31 What can we infer from the fact that the world was perceived as flat? （ A） Most people during the Dark Ages were illiterate. （ B） People during the Dark Ages were lacking in social knowledge. （ C） People today were more knowledgeable than those during the
44、 Dark Ages. （ D） Peoples cognition of the world was related to the scientific development. 32 What does the author mean by “turn it into riches“(Paragraph 1)? （ A） Make lots of profits. （ B） Make the land more fertile. （ C） Help poor people become richer. （ D） Turn the land into an area of gold. 33
45、According to the passage, truth （ A） is often found by chance. （ B） has little effect on peoples life. （ C） will never be changed since it is found. （ D） may be changed as more and more information about the earth is gathered. 34 Policies in the social sciences target to （ A） lay the foundation of f
46、inding new truth. （ B） lay the foundation of fining new principles. （ C） solve some practical problems existing in human lives. （ D） analyze problems occurring along the development of societies. 35 The writer suggests that the way of finding new truths about economic behavior （ A） should better be
47、conducted systematically. （ B） has nothing to do with the way of finding new principles. （ C） should be opposite to the way of finding economic principles. （ D） is similar to the way of finding new principles in that both are conducted casually. 36 The age at which young children begin to make moral
48、 discriminations about harmful actions committed against themselves or others has been the focus of recent research into the moral development of children. Until recently, child psychologists supported pioneer developmentalist Jean Piaget in his hypothesis that because of their immaturity, children
49、under age seven do not take into account the intentions of a person committing accidental or deliberate harm, but rather simply assign punishment for offences on the basis of the magnitude of the negative consequences cause. According to Piaget, children under age seven occupy the first stage of moral development, which is characterized by moral absolutism (rules made by authorities must be obeyed) and imminent justice (if rules are broken, punishment will be mete
