20、ary 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 focuses on the nee
21、ds 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 is known as t
22、he 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 that business
23、 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 transaction the firm and the customerand each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route
24、 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 brought about a pr
25、ompt restoration (恢复) of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside new. King Customer ruled!36 The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, _.（A）the practice of turning goods into money（B） making goods available for purchase（C） the customer-centered approach（D）a form of p
26、ersuasive salesmanship37 What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?（A）The needs of the market.（B） The efficiency of production.（C） The satisfaction of the user.（D）The preferences of the dealer.38 According to the passage, “to move as much of these g
27、oods as possible“ (Para. 1) means “_“.（A）to sell the largest possible amount of goods（B） to transport goods as efficiently as possible（C） to dispose of these goods in large quantities（D）to redesign these goods for large-scale production39 What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate
28、?（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 consumer.40 In discussing the marketing c
29、oncept, the author focuses on_.（A）its main characteristic（B） its social impact（C） its possible consequence（D）its theoretical basis40 “Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton in the closet?“ Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?“ her mother paused thoughtfully. “We
30、ll, its something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. He really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.“Why pick on my family?“ Jessicas fa
31、ther said with anger. “Your family history isnt so good, you know. Wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?“ “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners. “Gosh, sorry I asked. I th
32、ink I understand now,“ Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she f
33、inished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica s mother sank in a faint (晕倒) , waking only when J
34、essica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?“ she asked. “You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum,“ explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but i
35、t seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad. “Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “Theyre both crazy.“ she thought.41 According to Jessicas mother, “a skeleton in the closet“ means_.（A）a family honor（B） a family sec
36、ret（C） a family story（D）a family treasure42 What can we learn about some Australians ancestors from Paragraph 2?（A）They were brought to Australia as prisoners.（B） They were the earliest people living in Australia.（C） They were involved in some crimes in Australia.（D）They were not regarded as crimina

38、s.45 Jessicas parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because_.（A）they were crazy（B） they were over excited（C） they realized their misunderstanding（D）they both thought they had won the quarrel45 Most personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitme
39、nt methods. But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use
40、some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, “This can be a serious problem of employers“, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Execu
41、tive at Optimus Recruitment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.“ Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty s
42、uch as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervo
43、us hand movements all indicate discomfort.“Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who a
44、re being less than completely honest.46 The best title of this passage can be_.（A）How to Catch Out the Dishonest Candidate（B） How to Find a Job by Tricks（C） Disadvantages of Job Interviews（D）Advantages of Job Interviews47 The liars hard to recognize are those who tell_.（A）complete truths（B） complete
45、 lies（C） partial truths（D）mainly truths48 How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?（A）By leaving out some necessary information.（B） By providing more information than needed.（C） By using their body language.（D）By telling some unbelievable lies.49 In order to pick up a qualified
46、 and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we_.（A）examine the resumes carefully（B） inspect the candidates aggressively（C） correct the resumes intentionally（D）compare ones resume with others 50 What is the authors attitude towards job interviews?（A）Most objective.（B） Too subjective.（C） Suspicious
