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、In their work, Ghoshal ａｎｄ　Bartlett discuss（）.【阅读理解A】

A.changes in business organizations

B.contracts between employers ａｎｄ　employees

C.employment situation

D.management ideas

正确答案:D

答案解析:根据文中提到的，Ghoshal 和 Bartlett不仅讨论了企业的组织形式，还讨论了企业应该提供给员工一个创新的环境，以及对企业员工的培训和管理，最后达到企业发展的目的。因此用企业管理来概括他们的观念更合适。

3、The mother who holds her baby on the left（）.【阅读理解A】

A.knows that her heart-beat has a calming effect on the baby

B.keeps her dominant arm free fｏｒmanipulations

C.instinctively ｏｒby an unconscious series of trials ａｎｄ　errors soon arrives at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart

D.gives the usual fondling, cuddling ａｎｄ　cleaning little comment

正确答案:C

答案解析:主旨题。经过观察发现：…the mother, either instinctively ｏｒby an unconscious series of trials ａｎｄ　errors would soon arrive at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart, than on the right.“母亲或许是本能地，或许是经过一系列的无意识的成败试验后很快发现，如果她的婴儿被抱在左侧贴近心脏处，要比抱在右侧乖得多”，因此才有第一段中的现象：80％的母亲是左手兜住自己的孩子，把孩子放在自己身体的左侧。因此C正确。

4、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 fｏｒMedicine, 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。

5、What are the functions of studying philosophies mentioned in the passage?（）【阅读理解A】

A.It would make our own idea flexible

B.It would help prepare us fｏｒthe future ａｎｄ　guide our actions

C.It would enable us to understａｎｄ　how things develop as to better tackle the future

D.All of the above

正确答案:D

答案解析:推断题。A项在第一段开头就已提到。第四段第一句话说道，“但是我们得为将来做准备，没有一些哲学知识，我们是无法理性地做到这一点的。”因此，B项应该是符合题意的。而C项在最后一段也有谈到。所以，答案应选 D。
