1、Advertising are appreciated by manufacturers because they（）.【阅读理解A】

A.advise them on ways of giving a product customer appeal

B.accept responsibility for giving a product customer appeal

C.advise them on the best time to go ahead with production

D.consult them during the design and development stages

正确答案:B

答案解析:第二段The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.在产品设计和研发阶段，厂家可以有足够的时间来考虑而不必担心是否每个人都会买它。设计人员在忙于考虑诸如劳动力时间、机器强度以及压力因素时可以不考虑消费者喜好的因素。所以他们可以只管生产出产品然后让广告商通过声称此商品象征身份、地位，能够吸引爱情或是彰显男人魅力等，去寻找足够的理由来吸引消费者购买。倘若广告代理果真能做到足够令人信服，厂家则可高枕无忧了。因此选B。

2、According to the passage, doctors are most successful when they are（）.【阅读理解A】

A.authoritative

B.logical

C.emotional

D.scientific

正确答案:A

答案解析:第四段As for Medicine, any doctor will confirm that a large part of his job is not clinical treatment but faith healing. His apparently scientific approach enables his patients to believe that he knows exactly what is wrong with them and exactly what they need to put them right…至于医药，任何一位医生都会确信他的工作在很大程度上不是临床治疗而是信念治疗。他看起来科学的方法使病人相信医生确切知道他们的病情所在以及需要什么加以救治…；最后一段They will dress anyone up in a white coat to appear like an unimpeachable authority or, failing that, they will even be happy with the announcement. 他们会把任何人包装成穿白大褂、看起来像无可置疑的权威。因此选A。

3、How many kinds of ideas are there about the future? （）【阅读理解A】

A.Two

B.Three

C.Four

D.Five

正确答案:B

答案解析:细节题。从第四段我们得知：一些人Some people say we have only got to do the duties revealed in the past and laid down by religion, and god will look after the future；另外一些人Others say that the world is a machine and the course of future events is certain, whatever efforts we may make；马克思主义者Marxists say that the future depends on ourselves, even though we are part of the historical process；因此，应该是三种观点，选B。

4、What does the writer of this passage think of the ideas of Ghoshal and Bartlett?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Very instructive

B.Very inspiring

C.Hard to implement

D.Quite harsh

正确答案:C
