Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
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 firm'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 export trade 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…”。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,由此可以推断出:要作为成功的商人,应该能够与不同类型的人在一起工作,故选D。
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?”。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得多。由此可见,‘on the road’是“商旅”的意思。再看四个选项:B项意为“放松”;C项意为“玩”;D项意为“观光”,只有A项有“商旅”的意思,故选A。
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…”。由第三段第二句和第三句“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,故选C。
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…”。由文章最后一句“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,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,故选D。
2 Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war. The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French. France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington. The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.

Part Ⅲ Translation
1. It doesn't alter the fact that he is the man responsible for the delay.
2. Xi'an is the starting point of the Silk Road, and had remained China's political, economic, and cultural center from the 11th century B. C. until the 10th century A.D.. During the Tang Dynasty the city was called Chang' an and was very prosperous. It became a city as famous as the then Rome.
3. Hire the best. Your staff is your most important asset—in good times and in bad. Hire ambitious people who are team-builders and good communicators, who can lead the organization in turbulent times without panicking.
[解析] in good times and in bad意为“处于顺境还是逆境”;without panicking意为“不惊慌失措”。本文翻译是要采用添加词汇的方法。从第二句中我们可以看出:第一句Hire the best省略了staff。in good times and in bad中省略了times。翻译时添加厂“无论”,表示的是一种条件,可简洁地翻译成“顺境还是逆境”。定语从句可以翻译成和主句并列的句子,更加能体现原文的意思,同时也符合汉语的表达习惯。全文要注意句子结构上对仗和节奏。
