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 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。

3、What field can not our descendants know?（）【阅读理解A】

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、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

答案解析:从第三段“Unfortunately, they promise more than they deliver.”可以看出作者对Ghoshal 和 Bartlett的观点是不以为然的，作者认为这两个人许诺的比实际提供的要多，所以作者对这两个人的看法是他们的观点不切实际。

5、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。
