[解析] 11-15 (Q11) Larry Smith is one of the rescuers on the Golden Gate Bridge. His job is to save people who attempt to jump into the sea. If the telephone rings at three in the morning, he knows it' s trouble. (Q12) Someone is threatening to commit suicide. Larry will get his things ready and in no time he will be out of the door heading to the spot. Many suicide attempts are made on the spur of the moment and lives can be saved. But if you fail, if the per son jumps into the bottom of the fog, there' s no describing (Q13) how helpless you feel. Often would-be jumpers are driven to despair and see no hope of getting out of their misery. The trick is to (Q14)open a channel of communication with them. Following are some tricks that have worked. "Hey, if you' re going to jump, at least give me your mum' s phone number. So I can call and tell her." "That' s a nice watch. If you' re going to jump, can I have it?" Sometimes all it takes is the voice of the human being you cares. Larry estimates he has rescued (Q15)38 people in his ten years of service.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension 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 Some people believe that you have to be a special kind of person to sell a product. But although it is clear that a successful salesman does need special talents and an open personality, many of the skills he uses are used by us all. We build and keep relationships with different kinds of people, we listen to and take note of what they tell us and don' t just enjoy the sound of our own voices, and we explain things to them or discuss ideas with them. In the same way, any company needs to establish a personal relationship with its major clients and potential customers. It is often said that "people do business with people": a firm doesn' t just deal impersonally (没有人情味地) with another firm. A person in the buying department regularly receives personal visits from people representing the fn-m' s suppliers (供应商) --or in the case of department stores or chain stores, a team of buyers may travel around visiting their suppliers. Keeping sales people "on the road" is much more expensive than employing them to work in the office, Much of the sales people' s time is spent unproductively traveling. Telephone selling may use this time more productively, but a face-to-face meeting and discussion is much more effective. Companies involved in the ex port Wade often have a separate export sales force. Its travel and accommodation expenses may be very high. As a result, servicing overseas customers may often be done by phone, telex (电传) or letter, and personal visits may be less often. Many firms appoint an overseas agent or distributor (分销商)whose own sales force takes over responsibility for selling their products in another country.
1. According to the passage, to be a successful salesman, one ______.
A.doesn't need any talent
B.needs to go out every day
C.should listen to his boss
D.should be able to work with different kinds of people
A B C D
D
[解析] 题干意为“根据本文，作为一个成功的商人，他…”。该题为推理题。由第二段第一句“We build and keep relationships with different kinds of people．．．”可以看出我们与不同类型的人建立和保持联系，第三段也说明公司也要与其客户建立联系，由此可以推断要作为成功的商人应该能够与不同类型的人一起工作。
2. In the third paragraph, "potential customers" refers to people who ______.
3. The phrase "on the road" in the last paragraph can be best replaced by ______.
A.travelling
B.relaxing
C.playing
D.sightseeing
A B C D
A
[解析] 题干意为“在最后一段中，短语‘on the road’可由下面哪一项替换?”该题为词汇题。整句话的意思是：让销售人员总是“跑在路上”的花费要比雇佣他们在办公室工作的费用大的多。B项意为“放松”；C项意为“玩”；D项意为“观光”。
4. The passage indicates that some companies use telephone selling because ______.
A.they have too many sales people
B.their sales people don' t like travelling
C.it saves time
D.it is more polite
A B C D
C
[解析] 题干意为“本文表明一些公司利用电话进行销售，是因为…”。该题为细节题。由第三段第二句、第三句“Much of the sales people’s time is spent unproductively traveling．Telephone selling may use this time more productively．．．”可以看出电话销售可以更有效地利用这些时间。
5. The last paragraph says that an overseas agent of a company is responsible for ______.
A.training local sales people
B.protecting local customers
C.holding regular sales conferences
D.selling its products in the local area
A B C D
D
[解析] 题干意为“最后一段提到一家公司的海外代理商要负责…”。该题为推理题。由最后文章一句“Many firms appoint an overseas agent or distributor．．．”可以看出很多公司都是指派一个海外代理商或分销商，他们自己的这些销售力量要负责在其他国家来销售他们的产品。由此可以推断出海外代理商负责在当地销售其产品。
Task 2 The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example, if people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not responsible. In the U. S. , no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. This way of treating time is quite different from that of several other countries. This helps to explain the unfortunate experience of a certain agriculturist from the United States assigned to duty in another country. After what seemed to him a suitable waiting period, he announced that he would like to call on the minister of agriculture. For various reasons the suggested time did not suit the minister, there were indirect indications that the time was not yet suitable. The American, however, pressed for an appointment, which was finally granted. Arriving a little before the appointed hour (according to the American way of showing respect ), the agriculturist waited. The hour come and passed: five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes. At this point he suggested to the secretary that perhaps tile minister did not know he was waiting in the outside office. This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an American, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hour' s wait in an outer office. Yet in the country where this story took place, a forty-five-minute waiting period was not unusual. Instead of being the very end of the allowable waiting scale, it was just the beginning, thus, when the American agriculturist left the office (after giving the secretary an angry message for the minister), his action seemed as unreasonable as it was impolite.
1. What does "to be prompt" mean in this passage?
A.It means "to keep one' s word".
B.It means "to make good use of one' s time".
C.It means "to be punctual".
D.It means "to keep good time".
A B C D
C
[解析] 题干意为“文中‘to be prompt’意思是…”。该题为词汇题。由第一段第三句“Prompt ness is valued highly．．．”可以看出“prompt”在文中是“准时的”之意。
2. The minister kept the American waiting because ______.
A.the minister didn't think it was wrong to keep people waiting
B.the appointed time did not suit the minister
C.the minister intended to Insult the American
D.the minister forgot the appointment time
A B C D
A
[解析] 题干意为“这个部长让美国人等是因为…”。该题为细节题。由第三段中“Yet in the country where this story took place，a forty-five-minute waiting period was not unusual．”可以看出在那个国家让别人等是很正常的事情。
3. When fifteen minutes had passed after the appointed time, the American ______.
A.told the secretary that he should not have been kept waiting
B.urged that he was waiting for him
C.put forward a suggestion that the secretary go and tell the minister that he was waiting
D.went about finding out whether the minister knew that he was waiting for him in the outer office

Task 3 There is an old saying in English: "Laughter is the best medicine". Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people' s health. Tests were carded out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films, while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in tile face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effect of pain on the body. There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body' s immune system, that is, the system which fights infection. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病学家)in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. 1) Laughter really can 1 . 2) In the first test, it was found that laughter has similar effects to 2 . 3) Other tests have shown that laughter can reduce the effect of 3 on the body. 4) There is evidence to show that laughter helps the body' s 4 . 5) In the clinics, the psychiatrists try to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them 5 .
