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。

A.to change shifts at longer intervals

B.to have longer shifts

C.to arrange fｏｒsome people to work on night shifts only

D.to create better living conditions fｏｒnight workers

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题考核考生对文章具体内容的理解。第3段第1句说，“要真正解决这个问题似乎只有把夜班活交给一批固定干夜班的工人去干”。第4段第1句又说，“这种专人干夜班的方法看来不失为最佳的长远之计。”所以选项C是答案。其他3个选项文章都没有提到，都不正确。

A.The origin of human beings

B.Some questions that perplex us today

C.Many philosophical problems which Marx ａｎｄ　Engels wrote rather little

D.The future

正确答案:D

答案解析:推断题。由第三段第一句话But if our descendants know the answers to these questions and others that perplex us today, there will still be one field of which they do not know, namely the future. However exact our science; we cannot know it as we know the past. 就算我们的子孙知道了这些问题和那些现在仍困扰我们的问题的答案，那么仍然有一个领域是他们无从了解的，那就是将来。所以，选项D是正确的。

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 Christopher Bartlett what will improve "employability"?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Ability to lay out one\'s talents to employers

B.Skills ａｎｄ　knowledge accumulated from school education

C.Training opportunity ａｎｄ　guidance offered by company

D.Being creative ａｎｄ　ready to share collective wisdom

正确答案:C

答案解析:文中第二段employability后面的一句解释，在上下文中特指通过公司培养和引导，而提高雇员的水平。不是获取职位的能力，或者在学校中获取的知识和技能。
