Directions:
In this part there are 4 passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.
Questions 11 - 15 are base on the following passage:
Dollars and cents are the basic units of American money. The back of all dollar bills are green (hence "greenbacks"). The commonly used coins are: one cent (penny), five cents (nickel), 10 cents(dime), and 25 cents (quarter). 50 pieces (half dollar) and silver dollars (not really silver anymore) are gaining in usage, while there has been talk of phasing out the penny that's inflation for you. "Always carry plenty of quarters when traveling. Very useful for phones, soda machines, laundry machines, etc."
It's useful always to carry small change for things like exact fare buses, but do not carry large sums of cash. Instead keep the bulk of your money in travellers' cheques which can be purchased both in the US and abroad and should be in dollar denominations. The best known cheques are those of American Express, so you will have the least difficulty cashing these, even in out of the way places. Thomas Cook travellers' cheques are also acceptable, especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies. Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There's no need to cash them at a bank: use them instead to pay for meals, supermarket purchases or whatever. Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you' 11 be given change just as though you'd presented the cashier with dollar bills. Be prepared to show I.D. when you cash your cheques.
Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers' cheques, as they are often used to guarantee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car--indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too. The major credit cards are VISA, Master Charge and Access, Diners Club and American Express. If you hold a bank card, it could well be worthwhile to increase your credit limit for travel purposes--you should ask your bank manager.
11. Why is it useful to carry enough 25-cent coins with you?
[ A ] They can act as small change for the-exact bus fares.
[ B ] There is- generally no problem in using them in Canada.
[ C ] As a basic unit of money, they are gradually gaining in usage.
[ D ] They may come in handy for pay phones or laundry machines.
12. It is not necessary to carry cash instead of dollar travellers' cheques because the latter can be _ ____.
[ A ] used for phones, bus fares and hotel reservations
[ B ] used to pay in restaurants and big stores
[ C ] used like credit cards, even in remote areas
[ D ] exchanged easily, even at car rental companies
13. The phrase 'in lieu of' (line 2, paragraph 4) most probably means________.
[ A ] on behalf of
[ B ] in line with
[ C ] with regard to
[ D ] instead of
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
[ A ] Credit cards have more advantages than travellers' cheques.
[ B ] Dollar bills are as convenient as credit cards.
[ C ] One-cent coins have been withdrawn from circulation.
[ D ] You can increase your credit limit as you like.
15. This passage is most probably taken from

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage：
The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.
In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting (报价), what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information?
There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.
Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.
16. In making market investigation , one should_________.
A. get enough information concerned
B. advertise his products
C. produce high quality goods
D. none of the above
17 The word "indispensable" in the first line means_________.
A. impossible
B. essential
C. advisable
D. available
18 Which of the following statements is not true?
A. The relationship between market investigation and sales promotion is just as that of the lips and teeth.
B. It is impossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigation.
C. There are various ways of making market investigation.
D. Production goes before market investigation.
19. Making market investigation is very important because_________.
A. in market, goods on sale are numerous
B. every producer is facing keen competition
C. it can greatly promote sales
D. all of the above
20. All the following are channels to get market information except _________.
A. to have commercial counselor's office of our embassies stationed abroad
B. to promote the quality of our own products
C. to send trade groups abroad every now and then
D. to have face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen

Questions 21 - 25 are base on the following passage:
If you had awakened on the floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center and tried to figure out where you were, you might have first guessed the Conclave (秘密会议) of American Optimists. You would have seen 115,000 people buzzing with confidence and excitement. On the other hand, noting how many passers-by were loudly talking to themselves, you might have concluded that you had wandered into the International Expo of Eccentrics. Instead, it was the 2003 Consumer Electronics Show, also known as CES, held in Jan. 9th -12th. No wonder those attending were happy.
First, of course, they were in their element, surrounded by the smallest and shiniest new gadgets (小配件). Second, despite the gloom in other slices of the economy, sales of consumer electronics in the United States actually grew last year (to a record $96 billion). This trade show of manufacturers, retailers and customers was alive with energy and crowded with exhibits.
The vitality of this exposition is a sign of the times. The interest and innovation in PCs is nothing next to the action in other realms of high tech. As proof, compare the show with what was once its big brother: Comdex, the personal-computer trade show held each November at the same site. Thanks to the severe decline in the PC industry, the 2002 Las Vegas Comdex was only half the size of its 2000 incarnation.
The 2,200 booths included lavish displays by Panasonic, Sony, Philips, Toshiba and other heavy hitters. But hundreds of smaller, quirkier companies were also present, exhibiting electric toothbrushes, illuminated cell-phone faceplates, laser pens and publications from Widescreen Review to Progressive Grocer. There were 46 exhibitors in the alarm-clock category alone, and even an electric-typewriter company.
To reach those smaller booths, though, you had to pass what seemed like half the $10,000 plasma(等离子)TV screens ever made. This proliferation(丰富) of gorgeous wide-screen sets was only one hint that TV makers, at least, are ready for the great American switch to high-definition television, which the Federal Communications Commission hopes to see completed by 2006.
But a few obstacles stand between the average American and high-def happiness: the prices of these sets, the reluctance of cable companies to broadcast high-definition shows, Hollywood's campaign to cripple high-definition broadcasts so that you can't record them, and so on. (As many seminar panelists observed, however, strides are being made in all those areas.)
The most interesting items at Microsoft's booth were the prototype wristwatches that use the company's new Smart Personal Object Technology (SPOT) software. Due by year's end from Citizen, Fossil and other companies, these watches can receive messages, news, weather, sports and stock reports wirelessly in metropolitan areas for a small monthly fee, of course.
The most alarming item at Microsoft's booth, on the other hand, was its six-room mock-up of an American house with Microsoft products-cars, phones, TVs, games, appliances-in every nook and cranny. It's only a matter of time before you'll see people rebooting their toasters.
The digital camera models on display were cheaper, better and smaller than their predecessors. Olympus's Stylus 400, for example, is a tiny, silver, pocketable wonder that takes four-megapixel photos (enough resolution for 13-by-19-inch prints). It's due in the spring for $400.
21.Why are 115,000 people buzzing with confidence and excitement?
[A] They are truly strange people to feel overexcited at seeing new things.
[B] They are going to be pleased by the passers-by.
[C] They are visiting the International Expo of New Products.
[D] They are feeling optimistic at seeing the displays on CES.
22. The 2002 Las Vegas Comdex was held only half the size of its 2000 incarnation because ___________.
[A] the industry lacks exciting innovations.
[B] the industry slowed down its development.
[C] the sale volume greatly shrank that year
[D] its production declined for short of capital
23.The fact that there were 46 exhibitors in the alarm-clock category alone shows_______.
[A] the alarm-clock making industry has contributed greatest to the success of the show
[B] the small industrial section-alarm-clock making-can serve as an sign to show the great advances in electronics
[C] the alarm-clock making industry is the fastest developmental section in electronics industry
[D] the exhibitors in the alarm-clock category are particularly active in displaying their products
24.By 2006 it can be expected to __________according to paragraph 6.
[A] reach those smaller booths.
[B] see high-definition plasma television sets available on the US market
[C] reach those smaller booths with the $10,000 plasma TV screens
[D] proliferate wide screen sets in the USA
25.The digital camera models on display __________________.
I. are cheaper in price, and higher in quality than their predecessors
II. .are pocketable due to its being tiny in size
III. are all worthy of no more than 400 US dollars
[A] I only
[B] II only
[C] I and .II
[D] I, II and III

Questions 26 - 30 are base on the following passage:
All the people who went to the new supermarket had one great hope: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for his shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said, "Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This may be your lucky day!"
For several weeks Mrs. White hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, however, she never lost heart. Her kitchen was full of things which she did not really need. Her husband tried again and again to persuade her to give it up, but she just wouldn't listen. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would come up to say, "Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket today is free."
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy some tea. She rushed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went to the desk to pay for it. As she was walking, she saw the manager of the supermarket coming up. "Madam," he said warmly, holding out his hand, "I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer today. Everything you've got in your basket is free."
