Prestoon a sociologist studied 34 the American family is changing He reported that by the time the 35 American couple reaches 40 years of age they have more parents than children 36 because people

to No 50 For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A B C and D You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet In 1998 consumers could purchase virtually anything over the Internet Books compact discs and even stocks were available from World Wide Web sites that seemed to spring up almost daily A few years earlier some people had predicted that consumers accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could not see or touch in person For a growing number of time starved consumers however shopping from their home computer was proving to be a convenient alternative to driving to the store A research estimated that in 1998 US consumers would purchase 7 3 billion of goods over the Internet double the 1997 total Finding a bargain was getting easier owing to the rise of online auctions and Web sites that did comparison shopping on the Internet for the best deal For all the consumer interest retailing in cyberspace was still a largely unprofitable business however Internet pioneer Amazon Com which began selling books in 1995 and later branched into recorded music and videos posted revenue of 153 7 million in the third quarter up from 37 9 million in the same period of 1997 Overall however the company s loss widened to 45 2 million from 9 6 million and analysis did not expect the company to turn a profit until 2001 Despite the great loss Amazon Com had a stock market value of many billion reflecting investors optimism about the future of the industry Internet retailing appealed to investors because it provided an efficient means for reaching millions of consumers without having the cost of operating conventional stores with their armies of salespeople Selling online carried its own risks however With so many companies competing for consumers attention price competition was intense and profit margins thin or non existent One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for 9 99 undercutting 削價 the 19 99 suggested retail price and losing about 6 on each copy sold With Internet retailing still in its initial stage companies seemed willing to absorb such losses in an attempt to establish a dominant market position 46 Which of the following is TRUE according to the writer A Consumers are reluctant to buy things on the Internet B Consumers are too busy to buy things on the Internet C More and more consumers prefer Internet shopping D Internet retailing is a profitable business 47 Finding a bargain on the Internet was getting easier partly because A there were more and more online auctions B there were more and more Internet users C the consumers had more money to spend D there were more goods available on the Internet 48 For all the consumer interest Paragraph 3 means A to the interest of all the consumers B for the interest of all the consumers C all the consumers are much interested D though consumers are very much interested 49 It can be inferred from the passage that Amazon Com A is making a profit now B will probably make a profit in 2001 C is a company that sells books only D suffers a great loss on the stock market 50 Investors are interested in Internet retailing because A selling online involves little risk B Internet retailing is in its initial stage C they can make huge profits from it D it can easily reach millions of consumers PassagePassage TwoTwo Directions Directions After reading the following passage you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements No 51 to No 55 For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A B C and D You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet Why does cream go bad faster than butter Some researchers think they have the answer and it comes down to the structure of the food not its chemical composition a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery Both are emulsions tiny globules of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another The difference lies in what s in the globules and what s in the surrounding liquid says Brocklehurst who led the investigation In cream fatty globules drift about in a sea of water In butter globules of watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture This means that in cream the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture he says When the situation is reversed the bacteria are locked away in compartments buried deep in the sea of fat Trapped in this way individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products In butter you get a self limiting system which stops the bacteria growing says Brocklehurst The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food s structure Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream for instance more like that in butter The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid state 51 The significance of Brocklehurst s research is that A it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservatives B it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butter C it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butter D it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition 52 According to the researchers cream sours faster than butter because bacteria A are more evenly distributed in cream B multiply more easily in cream than in butter C live on less fat in cream than in butter D produce less waste in cream than in butter 53 According to Brocklehurst we can keep cream fresh by A removing its fat B killing the bacteria C reducing its water content D altering its structure 54 The word colonies Line 11 refers to A tiny globules B watery regions C bacteria communities D little compartments 55 Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack A by varying its chemical composition B by turning it into a solid lump C while keeping its structure unchanged D while retaining its liquid form PassagePassage ThreeThree Directions Directions After reading the following passage you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements No 56 to No 60 For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A B C and D You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet A lot of research has been conducted into stress over the last hundred years The most commonly accepted definition of stress is that stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize In short it s what we feel when we think we ve lost control of events Some of the early research on stress conducted by Walter Cannon in 1932 established the existence of the well known fight or flight response His work showed that when an organism experiences a shock or perceives a threat it quickly releases hormones 荷爾蒙 that help it to survive In humans as in other animals these hormones help us to run faster and fight harder They increase heart rate and blood pressure delivering more oxygen and blood sugar to power important muscles They increase sweating in an effort to cool these muscles and help them stay efficient They divert blood away from the skin to the core of our bodies reducing blood loss if we are damaged As well as this these hormones focus our attention on the threat to the exclusion of everything else All of this significantly improves our ability to survive life threatening events Not only life threatening events trigger this reaction We experience it almost any time we come across something unexpected or something that frustrates our goals When the threat is small our response is small and we often do not notice it among the many other distractions of a stressful situation Unfortunately this mobilization of the body for survival also has negative consequences In this state we are excitable anxious jumpy and irritable This actually reduces our ability to work effectively with other people With trembling and a pounding heart we can find it difficult to execute precise controlled skills The intensity of our focus on survival interferes with our ability to make fine judgments by drawing information from many sources We find ourselves more accident prone and less able to make good decisions There are very few situations in modern working life where this response is useful Most situations benefit from a calm rational controlled and socially sensitive approach In the short term we need to keep this fight or flight response under control to be effective in our jobs In the long term we need to keep it under control to avoid problems of poor health and burnout 56 The author s intention in writing this article is to A explain the fight or flight response and tell us to take control of it B tell us the fight or flight response is a natural reaction to danger C show that the fight or flight response may help us survive in danger D illustrate that the fight or flight response has great negative consequences 57 What is the well known fight or flight response A People tend to release hormones in danger B People may escape quickly or fight hard in danger C People tend to be very nervous under stress D People can not work effectively under stress 58 Which of the following is NOT part of the fight or flight response A Blood pressure is increased B Muscles become more energetic C More blood is delivered to the skin D Muscles get cooled by sweating 59 It can be inferred from the passage that A we only experience this fight or flight response when we are in danger B the small fight or flight response in our ordinary life is often ignored C the fight or flight response makes a human body work less efficiently D we can benefit from the fight or flight response we experienced in work 60 The reasons why we should keep this fight or flight response under control are the following EXCEPT that in this state A we are often bad tempered and can not cooperate effectively with our colleagues B we are too eager to survive that we are not able to make appropriate decisions C we often get nervous which may be harmful to our health in the long run D We often gather too much information which may distract us from working effectively PassagePassage
