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 fｏｒgiving 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, ｏｒattracts love, ｏｒsignifies 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、The word “precedents” (Line 1, Para. 4) probably refers to（）.【阅读理解A】

A.early acts fｏｒmen to follow as examples

B.particular places fｏｒmen to occupy especially because of their importance

C.things that men should agree upon

D.men’s beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided

正确答案:A

答案解析:该题要求根据上下文推测precedent的词义。分析第四段第一句可以看出precedent和role models一起是并列宾语，所以precedent意义与role models类似，另外从构词法角度分析前缀re前面，在四个选择项当中，符合以上二点要求的只有A项，正确答案是A。

3、We can infer from the second paragraph that（）.【阅读理解A】

A.Turkey will soon catch the average GDP level of the 15 pre-2004 EU members

B.inflation rate in Turkey used to be very high

C.Turkey’s economy will keep growing at present rate

D.IMF’s economic program will help Turkey join the EU

正确答案:B

答案解析:根据文章第二段“土耳其得通货膨胀率自1972年以来首次跌进个位数”可知，以前的通货膨胀率都在两位数甚至更多，是非常高的数字。

4、The word “oscillated” (Line 3, Paragraph 3) most probably means（）.【阅读理解A】

A.fell

B.climbed

C.developed

D.swang

正确答案:D

答案解析:这个词的意思可以根据文中第三段所用的明喻判断出来。文中说，整个1990年代，土耳其的GDP增长就好像“遭受了猛烈的心脏病发作时的心电图一样”，可见GDP增长时高时低，峰谷之间的差异较大，所以oscillated最有可能的意思就是“摆动，震荡”，只有D中的swang意思与之相符。

5、According to the passage, the way we dress（）.【阅读理解A】

A.provides clues fｏｒpeople who are critical of us

B.indicates our likes ａｎｄ　dislikes in choosing a career

C.has a direct influence on the way people regard us

D.is of particular importance when we get on in age

正确答案:C

答案解析:此题考核综合概括能力。文章第一句就概括了全文中心：人的衣着在判断一个人时起关键作用（Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to），文章第二段和第三段已反复阐明这一中心思想。由此判断C与文章内容一致，正确答案是C。A不符合文章第二段及第三段内容。B、D二项内容没有被提及。
