Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehenstion Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 U. S. direct marketers are taking advantage of the trends of the market and natural advantages which provide good opportunities in Japan. And the future looks promising; too. In particular, the appreciation of the yen, or what the Japanese refer to as endaka, has made many U. S. products much more affordable and desirable to the Japanese consumers. Also, through direct marketing U. S. companies can bypass the multitier distribution channels and provide the Japanese consumers with a product that is priced very competitively to the retail product. Another advantage is that the Japanese market consists of a very affluent society with a high per capita income. Direct marketing allows the Japanese consumers to increase their leisure time by staying at home and shopping. This is very important since leisure time is a very precious commodity in a society which typically has a long work week. (Japanese direct marketers have also taken note of this factor, as evidenced by the trend of stagnant traditional retail sales in Japan while direct marketing sales have continued to expand. ) Japanese consumers also prefer the cachet of such imported goods. This is similar to many consumers around the world who prefer the distinction of French perfume of Italian leather.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A.The reason why U. S. products are now welcomed in Japan.
B.U.S. marketers want to expand their markets to Japan.
C.The author gives a comparison between U.S. and Japanese products.
D.With their high percapita, Japanese people can now afford U. S. products.
[解析] 语义理解题。该词来源于文中第三句In particular，the appreciation of the yen，or what the Japanese refer to as endaka，has made many U．S．products much more affordable and desirable to the Japanese consumers，句中appreciation是与the yen“日元”连用， [B]和[C]明显不符合逻辑；而根据后面所说日元的“appreciation”使得更多的人购买美国进口产品，这说明日元的购买力上升，可推知“appreciation”在这里应该是指升值。
3. S. marketers are able to offer a fairly low price because
A.they want to sell as much as possible in Japan
B.direct marketing enables them to avoid the multitier distribution channels
C.they prefer to keep the same price as it is in U. S.
D.the cost of their products is low.
A B C D
B
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章第四句Through direct marketing U．S．companies can bypass the multitier distribution channels and...可知，美国商人能够提供相对低的价格是因为他们采用直销手段，从而避开了多层分销渠道。选项中avoid与句中bypass的同义。
4. What is the problem in Japanese market?
A.More and more people are buying imported goods
B.They face the challenges from all imported goods
C.Long work hour hinders the expansion of traditional retail sales.
D.High inflation prevents the market from developing.
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章倒数第三句This is very important since leisure time is a very precious commodity in a society which typically has a long work week可知，日本社会工人工作时数很长；再根据后面括号中的内容(Japanese direct marketers have also taken note of this factor，as evidenced by the trend of stagnant traditional retail sales in Japan while direct marketing sales have continued to expand．)可知，正是由于这一点，日本传统零售商才停滞发展。故答案为[C]。注意while在本句中是表示对比，故可根据后面直销的不断扩展推出前面零售业的发展停滞。
5. According to the author, people around the world sometimes enjoy imported goods because
A.other people are doing the same and they want to keep up with the fashion
B.using imported goods bring them a sense of prestige
C.imported goods are better in quality than homemade ones
D.hey prefer the cachet
A B C D
D
[解析] 推理判断题。根据文章最后两句Japanese consumers also prefer the cachet of such imported goods．This is similar to many consumers around the world who prefer the distinction of French perfume of Italian leather“日本人也喜欢进口商品的标志，就和全世界消费者都喜欢法国香水和意大利的皮具一样”，可反过来推知答案[D]的内容。
Task 2 Shopping carts are such a ubiquitous presence in stores today that it is hard to imagine a time without them. And yet it wasn't until the year 1937 when the first shopping cart was introduced. The shopping cart was the brainchild of Sylvan Goldman, the owner of a grocery food chain in Oklahoma. Goldman noticed that his customers struggled to carry their food in heavy hand-held baskets. He decided there must be an easier way for his customers to carry the food around in his markets. Observing a folding chair, Goldman decided to use that as the prototype(原型)for his new shopping cart. With the aid of a mechanic, Fred Young, Goldman designed the first shopping cart based on the folding chair. Wheels were placed where the bottoms of the chair legs were. In place of the chair seat, Young and Goldman placed two metal baskets on top of each other. This cart could be stored by folding it up like a folding chair. At first there was a bit of difficulty getting the public to accept shopping carts. Men thought using them was effeminate(女人气的)while younger women considered the use of the shopping carts to carry products around to be somewhat unstylish. Goldman solved this problem by hiring men and women models to use shopping carts in his stores. In addition, store greeters instructed customers in how to use the shopping carts. In short order, the shopping carts became very popular because it made shopping much easier for customers. By 1940 the popularity of shopping carts had grown to such an extent that there was a 7,year waiting list in store orders for new shopping carts.
1. The underlined word ubiquitous is closest in meaning to ______ .
A.strange

D.possible
A B C D

5. How popular did Goldman's invention finally become?
A.Men and women models used shopping carts in his stores.
B.Store greeters instructed customers in how to use the shopping carts.
C.Some stores had to wait several years to get his shopping carts.
D.His shopping carts had become so stylish that both men and women liked to use them.
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章的结尾“By 1940 the popularity of shopping carts had grown tO such an extent that there was a 7-year waiting list in store orders for new shopping carts"可知，购物车的定单猛增，供不应求。故答案为[C]。

Task 5 It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services. A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person's benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any per son in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense. The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100. The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.
1. What is public good? It is one that a person can use without ______ the use of it for another person.
reducing
[解析] 本题是问什么是公共货物。根据第二段第一句A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person可知答案。

Doesn’t work well
[解析] 本题是问市场体系对公共货物生产起到什么样的作用。答案在第二段的第一句A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person．
3. What will happen to him if one refuses to pay for a public good? He ______ be kept from
cannot
[解析] 本题是问如果一个人拒绝为公共货物付费，他会怎么样。答案出自第二段第二句This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it。
4. How much did Mr. Smith pay for enjoying the services of the police office?
Nothing
[解析] 由第三段Mrs．Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100，the police will guard the area anyway可知，Mr．Smith没有付一分钱，但是他也能享受警察的服务。
5. What is the source of money for public goods? By ______
(using)taxes
[解析] 本题问公共事物的经费来源。答案出自文章最后Therefore，we collect money for pub lic goods by using taxes。
