28、operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable to 43 extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.A firms public image plays a vital role in the 44 of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders as stockholders, sup

29、pliers, creditors (貸款方), government officials, as well as different special groups.

31、 up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has 49 a quality image, this is not easily imitated by competitors. Such an image may enable a firm to charge higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most favor

32、able creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firms stock to 50 higher price-earnings ratio (比例) than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following pass

33、age there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in

34、 response to our beliefs about what is possible. Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to 51 our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy. For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they 52 . As a member of that group,

35、you would likely 53 that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be 54 to really get behind yourself. Because you might fear that your 55 would not pay off. Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are n

36、ot 56 would probably stop your trying. And that would be a major 57 to invest your energy in your dream.On the other hand, belief isnt anything 58 . If you found a way to 59 that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the possibility of your success. How much e

37、nergy we are willing to invest in the various ideas and dreams is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market. And in both cases, 60 plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something. One way to ope

38、n up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable 61 we sometimes think. There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our 62 in, such as passion, feeling, and sense. Some of the most successful investors in the stock m

39、arket are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the 63 opinion held by ordinary people about what will work. In the same way, we can learn to trust our hearts desires and our sense to guide us, 64 any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves.

40、As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we 65 the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper.51. A. simplify B. challengeC. eliminateD. maintain 52.

Each passage is followe

43、d by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The vast jungles of the Amazon rainforest are home to tribes (部落) mostly isolated from

44、the outside world, whose way of life, largely unchanged for hundreds of years, is now increasingly threatened by modern civilization.Now, scientists discover they can monitor these “uncontacted tribes” using satellites, which would allow inexpensive and safe tracking of these tribes in order to prot

45、ect them from outside threats. In order to help preserve these uncontacted Indians, researchers need accurate estimates of their populations. One way to collect this data involves flying over their villages, but such over-flights are both expensive and could fill these native peoples with fear. Anot

46、her strategy involves meeting individuals on the ground, but among other risks, scientists could accidentally spread disease to members of the tribes. Instead, scientists investigated whether satellite images could monitor uncontacted tribes. The result was inspiring. They confirmed their locations

47、and measured the sizes of their village, houses and gardens. “We can find isolated villages with remote sensing and study them over time.” Walker told Live Science. “We can ask: Are they growing? Do they move?”Surprisingly, based on the sizes of the houses and villages, the scientists find the popul

48、ation densities of these isolated villages are about 10 times greater, on average, than other villages of native Brazilian peoples. This may be due to the fact that they have to live closer together because they are not as good at clearing the forest, since they lack modern devices like chainsaws an

49、d tractors, the researchers said. The tribes may also be afraid of spreading out due to fear of being attacked by outsiders, Walker said.The researchers now plan to focus on 29 more isolated villages to “l(fā)ook at their ecology that is, distance from rivers and roadsand use this to model where else we

50、 can find more isolated villages,” Walker said. 66.Scientists dont want to meet the Indians on the ground due to the fear that _.A. they cant get accurate dataB. they could pass disease to the IndiansC. they will be attacked by the IndiansD. they will catch disease from the Indians67. According to t

51、he passage, which of the following about the Indian tribes is NOT true?A. They lack modern tools to cut forests. B. Their life styles remain unchanged.C. They live closer together for defense.D. They are contacting the outside world.68. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. More isolated trib

52、es are yet to be discovered.B. Scientists are able to find 29 Amazon tribes in total.C. Its easy for scientists to find isolated villages. D. More roads should be built for the tribes. 69. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. The Disappearing of the Ancient Amazon Tribes

53、. B. Discovery of Indian Tribes in Remote Mountains. C. The Threatening of Modern Civilization to Tribes. D. Research of Isolated Tribes with Modern Devices. (B)The Zebra Finch: An Owners Guide to a Happy Healthy PetThe zebra finch, a native of Australia, is a popular domestic pet in the United Stat

54、es. The bird has many attributes (特性) which allow it to be kept at home, though there are also a few negative aspects. The attributes are nest-building, breeding and a lively attitude. The potential negatives are over-breeding and the wildness of the birds. One of the main attributes of zebra finche

55、s is their ability to breed. They are the rabbits of the domestic bird world. Once you have two birds, male and female, you will soon have six, as they breed quite easily and have strong babies, usually four at a time. An added attribute is their ability to build their own nests. You can place branch in their place along with some kind of structure, and they will create a nest on their own. Its very pleasant to see the ways males and females divide some labors and share others, and the babies grow up quickly. Overall, zebra finches are energetic birds, and they can make
