It was a moment most business executives would pause to savor: late last year, German sporting goods pioneer Adidas learned that after years of declining market share, the company had sprinted past U. S. Reebok International to take second place behind Nike in the race for worldwide sales. But Robert Louis-Dreyfus, the rumpled Frenchman who now runs Adidas, didn't even stop for one of his trade mark Havana cigars in celebration, worried that the company would grow complacent. Instead, he and a group of friends bought French soccer club Olympique de Marseille "Now that's something I have dreamed about since I was a kid, ' Louis-Dreyfus says with an adolescent grin. A sports addict who claims he hasn't missed attending a soccer World Cup final since the 1970s or the Olympic Games since 1968, the 50-year-old Louis-Dreyfus now is eminently well placed to live out many of his boyhood fantasies. Not only has he turned Adidas into a global company with market capitalization of $ 4 billion (he owns stock worth $ 250 million), but he also has endorsement contracts with a host of sports heroes from tennis great Steffi Graf to track's Donovan Bailey, and considers it part of the job to watch his star athletes per form on the field, "There are very few chances in life to have such fun," he says. With sales in the first three quarters of 1996 at $ 2.5 billion, up a blistering 30.7% over 1995, it's hard to recall the dismal shape Adidas was in when Louis-Dreyfus took over as chairman in April 1993. Founded in 1920 by Adi Dassler, the inventor of the first shoes de signed especially for sports, the company enjoyed a near monopoly in athletic shoes until an upstart called Nike appeared in the 1970s and rode the running fad to riches. By the early 1990s Adidas had come under the control of French businessman Bernard Tapie, who was later jailed for bribing three French soccer players. Al though the company tried to spruce up its staid image with a team of American designers, Adidas lost more than $100 million in 1992, prompting the French banks that had acquired control of the company from Tapie to begin a desperate search for a new owner. Louis-Dreyfus, scion of a prominent French trading dynasty with an M. B. A. from Harvard, earned a reputation as a doctor to sick companies after turning around London-based market research firm IMS--a feat that brought him more than $10 million when the company was eventually sold. He later served as chairman of Saatchi ~ Saatchi, then the world's largest ad agency, which called him in when rapid growth sent profits into a tailspin. With no other company or entrepreneur willing to gamble on Adidas, Louis-Dreyfus got an incredible bargain from the banks., he and a group of friends from his days at IMS contributed just $10, 000 each in cash and signed up for $100 million in loans for 15% of the company, with an option to buy the remainder at a fixed price 18 months later. The poker-loving Louis-Dreyfus knew he had been dealt a winning hand. Following the lead set by Nike in the 1970s, he moved production to low-wage factories in China, Indonesia and Thailand and sold Adidas' European factories for a token one Deutsche mark apiece. He hired Peter Moore, a former product designer at Nike, as creative director, and set up studios in Germany for the European market and in Portland, Oregon, for the U. S. He then risked everything by doubling his advertising budget. "We went from a manufacturing company to a marketing company, "says Louis-Dreyfus. "It didn't take a genius--you just had to look at what Nike and Reebok were doing. It was easier for someone coming from the outside, with no baggage, to do it, than for somebody from inside the company." Just as the transition was taking place, Adidas had a run of good luck. The fickle fashion trendsetters decided in early 1993 that they wanted the "retro look, "and the three-stripes Adidas logo, which had been overtaken by Nike swoop, was suddenly hot again. Models such as Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiller and a score of rock idols sported Adidas gear on television, in films and music videos, giving the company a free publicity bonanza. Demand for Adidas products soared. "The marketing at Adidas is very, very good right now, "says Eugenio Di Maria, editor of Sporting Good Intelligence, an industry newsletter perceives Adidas as a very young brand. The company is particularly strong in apparel, much stronger than Nike and Reebok. Although 90% of Adidas products for wear on the street instead of sports fields, Louis-Dreyfus felt the previous management had lost sight of Adidas' roots as a sporting goods company. After all, Adi Dassler invented the screw-in stud for the soccer shoe and shod American champion Jesse Owens in the 1936 Olympics. So he sold off or folded other non-core brands that Adidas had developed, including Le Coq Sportif, Arena and Pony. Europe is still the company's largest market because Adidas dominates the apparel industry and thanks to soccer's massive popularity there. Louis-Dreyfus is quick to share credit for the turnaround with a small group of friends who bought the company with him in 1993. One of those fellow investors is a former IMS colleague, Christian Tourres, now sales director at Adidas. "We're pretty complementary because I'm a bit of a dreamer, so it's good to have somebody knocking on your head to remind you there's a budget, "says Louis-Dreyfus. Commuting to the firm's headquarters in the Bavarian town of Herzogenaurach from his lakeside house outside Zurich, Louis-Dreyfus also transformed Adidas from a stodgy German company into a business with a global outlook. Appalled on his first day at work that the chief executive had to sign a salesman's travel voucher for $ 300, he slashed the company's bureaucracy, adopted American ac counting rules and brought in international management talent. The company's chief financial officer is Australian and the international marketing manager is a Swede. English is the official language of the head office and no Germans remain on the managing board of the company, now whittled down to just himself and a few trusted aides. "It was clear we needed decentralization and financial controls, "recalls Louis-Dreyfus. "With German accounting rules, I never knew if I was making money or losing." In another break with the traditional German workplace, Louis-Dreyfus made corporate life almost gratingly informal: employees ostentatiously called him "Rowbear" as he strides down the corridors, and bankers are still amazed when counterparts from Adidas show up for negotiations wearing sweatshirts and sneakers. "He gives you a lot of freedom, says Michael Michalsky, a 29-year-old German who heads the company's apparel design team. "He has never interfered with a decision and never complained. He's incredibly easy to work for." After reducing losses in 1993, Adidas turned a profit in 1994 and has continued to surge: net income for the first three quarters in 1996 was a record $ 214 million, up 29% from the previous year. Louis-Dreyfus and his friends made vast personal fortunes when the company went public in 1995. The original investors still own 26% of the stock, which sold for $ 46 a share when trading has doubled to $ 90. The challenge for Louis-Dreyfus is to keep sales growing in a notoriously trend-driven business. In contrast to the boom at Adidas, for example, Reebok reported a 3 % line in sales in the third quarter. Last fall Adidas rolled out a new line of shoes called "Feet You Wear" which are supposed to fit more comfortably than conventional sneakers by matching the natural contour of the foot. The first 500, 000 sold out. Adidas is an official sponsor of the World Cup, to be held next June in France, which the company hopes to turn to a marketing bonanza that will build on the strength of soccer worldwide. But Reebok also has introduced a new line called DMX Series 2000 and competition is expected to be tough come spring. `

A friend of mine is working at Yellowstone National Park this summer... W: Yellowstone! I've always wanted to spend some time out in Wyoming. M: Wait till you hear what the project is... She's working with the buffalo population. The herds have been increasing in size lately, which is good in theory... W: Yeah... but I thought they were in danger of becoming extinct. M: Well, apparently, because of all the winter tourists, paths are created in the snow. More buffalo are surviving the harsh winters because the paths make it easier for the buffalo to move around and find food. But it turns out that some of the herds are infected with a bacteria. W: Oh yeah, I heard about that. Bru— M: Brucella abortus W: Right, It's been around for quite a while. M: Yes it has. And because the buffalo population is increasing, they've been roaming more than usual, and the disease has begun to spread to the cattle ranches that border toe park. W: That's bad news! Isn't that the disease that causes animals to abort their young? M: Yes, and it's caused a lot of controversy. Some of the ranchers even want to destroy the buffalo herds. W: That's awful! Have they made much progress with the research? M: So far, they've been collecting tissue samples from dead buffalo to see if the bacteria's present. W: I'd really be interested in working on this. You know I've been researching diseased animal populations... M: That's why I thought of you... I took the liberty of mentioning your name to my friend. She's ho ping you'll be able to spend the whole summer out there. W: Well, I was going to work on my thesis a lot in July, but I'm sure my adviser wouldn't want me to pass up this opportunity. 23.

Passage One Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 26-28 For many well-educated young eastern Germans like Susanne Kophal, who was born, raised and educated in Rostock, a lovely city on the Baltic Sea, there is a familiar story about the moment in their post-graduation lives that they decided to leave. "I'll always have the wish to return to my hometown," said Ms. Kophal, 26, who graduated from the University of Rostock last year with a political science degree. "The people are friendly. In the summer you can take off for lunch, go swimming in the ocean and be back at work within an hour. But there are precious few professional jobs here and little hope of building a career. 'And so, Ms. Kophal and every one of her college friends: a doctor, a biologist and a physicist among them, left Rostock for brighter prospects elsewhere in Germany or for a career abroad, probably for good. "I see myself as an economic refugee," Ms. Kophal said in an interview at her office in Berlin, where she found a position as a magazine production manager now. In Rostock, where unemployment stands at 18 percent, almost double the national average, "there's no chance to earn a decent living," she said. "The only alternatives are the two classic examples, becoming a taxi driver or working at McDonald's." 26. What major did Ms. Kophal get when she graduated from the University of Rostock last year?

Sonora honored and revered her father, and while listening to a Mother's Day sermon, in 1899, she determined there should also be a day to honor fathers. M: Why June? W: In 1910 Sonora chose June 19th, as the day to celebrate Father's Day because that was her father's birthday. With support from the Spokane Ministerial Association and the YMCA, the first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane on June 19, 1910. M: When did the United States begin celebrating Father's Day? W: In 1910 Spokane, Washington celebrated Father's Day. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge pro claimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. In 1926 a National Father's Day Committee was formed in New York City. Then in 1956 Father's Day was recognized by Joint Resolution of Congress. In 1966 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring that the third Sunday of June was Father's Day. In 1972 President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday in June. M: Do other countries celebrate Father's Day? W: Father's Day is celebrated in every part of the world. In the United States, Canada and most countries in Asia, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. Apart from flowers, on the third Sunday in June each year, all the fathers are still given presents, treated to dinner or other wise made to feel special. M: What flowers are given to fathers as gift? W: In both early times and these days, wearing flowers was a common way of celebrating the Day. Mrs. Dodd favored the red rose to honor a father still living, while a white flower honored a de ceased dad. 29. Why did Sonora Louise Smart Dodd wante to celebrate Father's day?
[解析] 32-35 With its 2x optical zoom lens, 3.2 megapixels and the size of a credit card, the Canon Digital PowerShot s230 camera, introduced in September, 2002, might strike some as a marvel. But the company is betting that its new target market of young white-collar women, who have not been the primary buyers of digital cameras, will love the tiny wonder for its look. Inspired by companies like Nokia, which early on emphasized design in an effort to sell cellphones to the increasingly style-conscious public, camera makers, too, are now promoting their products as fashion accessories. Canon is among a growing number of manufacturers playing up not only the latest in fancy technology but also what marketers call the "cool factor," a combination of high-tech features and streamlined, compact design. In its print and television ad campaigns, the Canon PowerShot dangles from a clothes hanger. "Stainless steel goes with everything," the copy reads. Casio, the maker of the Exilim, has taken a similar style. Its print ads show a photo of a fashionable young woman in jeans, her compact digital protruding from her hip pocket over the slogan "No visible camera lines. ' Now that digital technology is no longer a novelty, Sony is also seeking a new group of consumers, mostly women in their 20's and early 30's. And the latest of Sony's print ads features a shapely blonde sheathed in a clingy black dress, an ATM-card-size CyberShot U suspended like a necklace. "It looks like cool jewelry, and that's the point," Jim Malcolm, Sony's senior marketing manager for digital cameras, said. 32. What is Canon Digital PowerShot s230 camera's size?
问题是：“Canon Digital PowerShot s230照相机的大小如何?”，正确答案是“类似于一张信用卡。”，其依据是“With its 2x optical zoom lens，3.2 megapixel and the size Of a credit card，the Canon Digital PowerShot s230 camera…”。

[解析] 36-46 The human body is a remarkable food processor. As an adult, you may consume over a ton of food per year and still not gain or lose a pound of body weight. You are constantly harnessing and consuming energy through the intricate mechanism of your body in order to remain in energy balance. To maintain a given body weight, your energy input must balance your energy output. However, sometimes the overall energy balance is upset, and your normal body weight will either fall or increase. The term body image refers to the mental image we have of our own physical appearance, and it can be influenced by a variety of factors, including how much we weigh or how that weight is distributed. Research has revealed that about 40 percent of adult men and 55 percent of adult women are dissatisfied with their current body weight. Similar findings have also been reported at the high school level, mainly with female students. At the college level, a study found that 85 percent of both male and female first-year students desired to change their body weight.

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)
Section A Directions:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item one Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Sleep laboratories around the world are finding that an alarming number of drivers on motorways may be failing 1 at the wheel. Although researchers have difficulty in knowing for certain 2 an accident has been caused by sleepiness, it appears that a driver who is on the road between 4 am and 6 am is about 10 times as 3 to have a sleep-related accident as someone who is driving in the middle of the morning or early in the evening. Some British police forces have become sufficiently 4 to launch campaigns to alert the public to the danger. Leicestershire police, 5 , consider sleepiness to be the cause of 20 percent of accidents on motorways and in the summer of 1990 ran a campaign with the slogan "Stay awake, Stay 6 ". Major motor manufacturers such as Ford and Renault are 7 ways of incorporating sleepiness detectors and alarms into their vehicles. If an accident involves only one vehicle, which runs 8 the road into the certain crash barrier, the embankment, a tree or a bridge, then sleepiness is likely to be the cause, especially if there are no skid marks or other signs of braking. A driver who is alert to an 9 crash grips the steering wheel and suffers different injuries from someone who is asleep and holding the steering wheel loosely. This pattern of injury, combined with an absence of skid marks on the road, also where that the driver was asleep in accidents well-spaced one vehicle runs into the back of another, especially if it occurs where traffic is light and vehicles are consequently 10 on the road. Under these conditions, the driver's "inattention" must have been more than just momentary. A．import B．impending C．alive D．property D．concerned F．occur G．asleep H．portable I．whether J．investigating K．off L．likely M．leap N．for example O．well-spaced
1.
asleep
fall asleep是动词短语“睡着”的意思。所以选asleep。
2.
whether
根据for certain的提示，选whether。
3.
likely
要做好这个题，需要分析句子的结构。这一部分的结构是it appears that...，that从句是一个比较句，用as...as...结构，a driver是that从句的主语，其中的定语从句who is on the road between 4 am and 6 am修饰a driver。另一个定语从句who is driving in the middle of the morning or early in the evening修饰someone。整个句子的主题部分是A driver is about ten times as ______ to have asleep-related accidents as someone，所以选形容词likely，意思是“可能的，可能发生的”。
4.
concerned
此处需要填一形容词。be concerned to do sth．的意思是“对…关注”。
5.
for example
作者举例说明some British police forces中的Leicestershire police的行动。
根据前面的where traffic is light，可知此处要填well-spaced，意思是“间隔大的，离得远的”。
Section B Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre
Passage One Traditionally, the first firm to commercialize a new technology has benefited from the unique opportunity to shape product definitions, forcing followers to adapt to a standard or invest in an unproven alternative. Today, however, the largest payoffs may go to companies that lead in developing integrated approaches for successful mass production and distribution. Producers of the Beta format for video cassette recorders (VCR's), for example, were first to develop the VCR commercially in 1975, but producers of the rival VHS (Video Home System) format proved to be more successful at forming strategic alliances with other producers and distributors to manufacture and market their VCR format. Seeking to maintain exclusive control over VCR distribution. Beta producers were reluctant to form such alliances and eventually lost ground to VHS in the competition for the global VCR market. Despite Beta's substantial technological head start and the fact that VHS was neither technically better nor cheaper than Beta, developers of VHS quickly turned a slight early lead in sales into a dominant position. Strategic alignments with producers of prerecorded tapes reinforced the VHS advantage. The perception among consumers that prerecorded tapes were more available in VHS format further expanded VHS's share of the market. By the end of the 1980's, Beta was no longer in production.
1. The passage is primarily concerned with which of the following?
A.Evaluating two competing technologies
B.Tracing the impact of a new technology by narrating a sequence of events
C.Reinterpreting an event from contemporary business history
D.Illustrating a business strategy by means of a case history
Passage Two Some observers have attributed the dramatic growth in temporary employment that occurred in the United States during the 1980's to increased participation in the workforce by certain groups, such as first-time or reentering workers, who supposedly prefer such arrangements. However, statistical analyses reveal that demographic changes in the workforce did not correlate with variations in the total number of temporary workers. Instead, these analyses suggest that factors affecting employers account for the rise in temporary employment. One factor is product demand: temporary employment is favored by employers who are adapting to fluctuating demand for products while at the same time seeking to re duce overall labor costs. Another factor is labor's reduced bargaining strength, which allows employers more control over the terms of employment. Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs, firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of temporary positions. Government policymakers should consider mandating benefit coverage for temporary employees, promoting pay equity between temporary and permanent workers, assisting labor unions in organizing temporary workers, and encouraging firms to assign temporary jobs primarily to employees who explicitly indicate that preference.
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
A.present the results of statistical analyses and propose further studies
B.explain a recent development and predict its eventual consequences
C.identify the reasons for a trend and recommend measures to address it

2. According to the passage, which of the following is true of the "factors affecting employers" that are mentioned in lines 5 ?
A.Most experts cite them as having initiated the growth in temporary employment that occurred during the 1980's.
B.They may account for the increase in the total number of temporary workers during the 1980's.
C.They were less important than demographic change in accounting for the increase of temporary employment during the 1950's.
D.They included a sharp increase in the cost of labor during the 1980's.
A B C D
B
是非题。从原文推出，哪个是关于“影响雇主的因素”的正确说法?A．“most experts cite them as…”推不出来，虽然后半句有理，仍不应选。且正确。它们能解释80年代临时工总数的增多。这正是作者的意见。见原文Line 5。C．不如人口特征变化重要。说反了，这是老观点。
3. The passage suggests which of the following about the use of temporary employment by firms during the 1980's?
A.It enabled firms to deal with fluctuating product demand far more efficiently than they before the 1980's.
B.It increased as a result of increased participation in the workforce by certain demograp groups.
C.It was discouraged by government-mandated policies.
