填空题Directions: For Questions, choose the most suitable paragraphs from the list A-G to fill them into the numbered boxes to form a coherent text. Paragraph E has been correctly placed. There is one paragraph which does not fit in with the text. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. A. The first and more important is the consumer"s growing preference for eating out; consumption of food and drink in places other than homes has risen from about 32 percent of total consumption in 1995 to 35 percent in 2000 and is expected to approach 38 percent by 2005. This development is boosting wholesale demand from the food service segment by 4 to 5 percent a year across Europe, compared with growth in retail demand of 1 to 2 percent. Meanwhile, as the recession is looming large, people are getting anxious. They tend to keep a tighter hold on their purse and consider eating at home a realistic alternative. B. Retail sales of food and drink in Europe"s largest markets are at a standstill, leaving European grocery retailers hungry for opportunities to grow. Most leading retailers have already tried e-commerce, with limited success, and expansion abroad. But almost all have ignored the big, profitable opportunity in their own backyard: the wholesale food and drink trade, which appears to be just the kind of market retailers need. C. Will such variations bring about a change in the overall structure of the food and drink market? Definitely not. The functioning of the market is based on flexible trends dominated by potential buyers. In other words, it is up to the buyer, rather than the seller, to decide what to buy. At any rate, this change will ultimately be acclaimed by an ever-growing number of both domestic and international consumers, regardless of how long the current consumer pattern will take hold. D. All in all, this clearly seems to be a market in which big retailers could profitably apply their scale, existing infrastructure, and proven skills in the management of product ranges, logistics, and marketing intelligence. Retailers that master the intricacies of wholesaling in Europe may well expect to rake in substantial profits thereby. At least, that is how it looks as a whole. Closer inspection reveals important differences among the biggest national markets, especially in their customer segments and wholesale structures, as well as the competitive dynamics of individual food and drink categories. Big retailers must understand these differences before they can identify the segments of European wholesaling in which their particular abilities might unseat smaller but entrenched competitors. New skills and unfamiliar business models are needed, too. E. Despite variations in detail, wholesale markets in the countries that have been closely examined—France, Germany, Italy and Spain—are made out of the same building blocks. Demand comes mainly from two sources: independent room-and-pop grocery stores, which unlike large retail chains, are too small to buy straight from producers, and food service operators that cater to consumers when they don"t eat at home. Such food service operators range from snack machines to large institutional catering ventures, but most of these businesses are known in the trade as "horeca": hotels, restaurants and cafes. Overall, Europe"s wholesale market for food and drink is growing at the same sluggish pace as the retail market, but the figures, when added together, mask two opposing trends. F. For example, wholesale food and drink sales come to $168 billion in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom in 2000—more than 40 percent of retail sales. Moreover, average overall margins are higher in wholesale than in retail; wholesale demand from the food service sector is growing quickly as more Europeans eat out more often; and changes in the competitive dynamics of this fragmented industry are at last making it feasible for wholesalers to consolidate. G. However, none of these requirements should deter large retailers (and even some large good producers and existing wholesalers) from trying their hand, for those that master the intricacies of wholesaling in Europe stand to reap considerable gains. Order: 16 → 17 → 18 → 19 →E→ 20

填空题Translate the following passage into English．write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET． 阳光下的利润 一次，一位很讲究策略的企业家竟然把自己企业往年的盈利情况一五一十地告诉了众人。对此，同行中人议论纷纷。 “你怎么可以这么做呢?”有人好意劝到，“如果你盈利太多，顾客就会以为你是在谋取暴利；如果你盈利太少，他们又会对你的能力产生怀疑——你这么做，简直是搬起石头砸自己的脚” “可是你有没自想过，如果我是在谋取暴利，就一定不敢公布盈利的情况 如果我盈利太少，就会羞于公布我的盈利情况。” “那你公布盈利情况的主要目的是什么?”那个人好奇地问。 “获取信任。”这位企业家侃侃而谈，“在商就不可能不言利。在大家都羞于言利的时候，我将盈利情况公之于众，既表明了我对自己的信心，又可以让大家对我产生信任。这种信任就是我获取的又一种珍贵的利润，而且这种利润又可以在将来衍生出一大笔无法估量的巨额利润。”企业家不由得笑了，“这种利润是我用磊落的坦诚和宽广的胸襟换来的，是阳光下的利润。” 也许，在这个繁华的世界里，已经有越来越多的人开始珍视那些比金钱更重要的东西了。 这种珍视，也许就是这个世界最大的利润。

填空题Several months ago, planning to visit a friend hospitalized with AIDS, I asked a doctor whether I should take any precautions. "You're more of a risk to him than he is to you, "said the doctor, Fred Valentine, an associate professor of medicine at New York University Medical Center. "You might have a cold or some minor infection that would be very serious for him if he caught it because he has no resistance." The risk to me, the doctor said, was almost nonexistent. (1) . Doctors now think they understand how it infects, can test whether someone has been exposed to the virus, and know how to prevent its spread to others. (2) . AIDS is a silent epidemic. According to recent figures from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), since 1979, 15, 172 people in the United States have been diagnosed as having AIDS, and 7, 111 of them have died. These numbers are doubling every 10 to 12 months. Another 60, 000 to 120, 000 people have AIDS-related-complex (ARC), a milder form of the disease which will turn into AIDS in 5 to 20 percent of the cases. (3) . Dr. Harold Jaffe, chief epidemiologist of the AIDS task force at the CDC, says that over five years perhaps 10 percent of the people carrying the virus will get AIDS. Another 25 percent will develop ARC. Since in a majority of cases AIDS is fatal—at least so far—the death toll could be enormous. Though the medical community is overwhelmingly convinced that AIDS can't be caught by causal contact that is what most people worry about. Part of the problem is semantic. Doctors are taught never to say "never" because there's no such thing as 100-percent certainty in science. (4) . But the facts do speak strongly against transmission of AIDS through casual contact. To begin with, no researcher has found a single case contracted that way. Of all the AIDS cases reported in the past five years, not one resulted from sharing a residence, a school-room or an office with another AIDS patient, says Dr. Jaffe. (5) . Theoretically, there is a small risk from a barbershop shave with a straight edged razor (which may produce a minute amount of bleeding) if the razor has been contaminated with AIDS-carrying blood and left uncleaned. A similar situation holds if bleeding occurs during a manicure and the instruments are contaminated and not disinfected between customers. A. For example, dental patients aren't thought to be at risk. Instruments are sterilized by boiling, or autoclaving—the use of superheated steam under pressure. Either would kill the AIDS virus if it were present. Furthermore, most dentists use disposable needles for injections. B. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) was identified only four years ago and is still as mystifying to the public as it is frightening. Though a great deal remains to be learned about the disease, the store of information is increasing quickly. C. Nor have any friends or family members who have tended AIDS victims come down with the disease, unless they had sexual contact with the victim. "Mothers who've taken care of sons through their terminal illness, handling blood, body secretions, vomit—none of them has caught AIDS." says Dr. Valentine. D. Because 392 AIDS victims contracted AIDS from contaminated blood given in a transfusion or from blood products used to treat hemophilia, many people worry about giving or receiving blood. To begin with, it is impossible to get AIDS by giving blood. A new, sterilized needle is used for each donor and is disposed of afterward. E. More disturbing is that as many as 1.2 million Americans may have antibodies to the virus, and a majority of these may be carrying it, even though they have no symptoms. Some of them can spread the disease. F. Though the public's attention has been focused on fears of casual contact with AIDS victims, medical authorities agree that the disease is not easy to catch. Indeed, the key to containing AIDS lies in two areas of contact that is anything but casual: sex and sharing intravenous drug needles. But sex and drug abuse are things that people can control. Research indicates that worries of this sort are unfounded. G. So researchers say things like "There's no evidence of casual spread of AIDS". The public, not recognizing the underlying principle, is suspicious and tends to overestimate the uncertainty.

填空题US President Bush has been having a difficult summer. Recent polls show a considerable decline in public approval of his conduct of the nation's business, yet in just few weeks voters will decide whether he or Democrat John Kerry is to be the next president. If things are going so badly for Bush, then Kerry must be doing well, right? 41)__________. His public appearances kindle little enthusiasm. His TV ads sway few viewers. As a result, Kerry supporters tend to be more anti-Bush than they are genuinely pro-Kerry. Democratic strategists point out that Kerry has a pattern of coming from behind to win political races. And even though Kerry stirs little excitement, many Americans are quite eager to learn whom he will choose as his running mate. A popular vice presidential candidate could energize his campaign, especially since there is little chance that President. Bush will dump the much-loathed Richard Cheney from the Republican ticket. Most observers agree that Kerry is not a particularly strong candidate for the US presidency. He tends to be respected, but he arouses little enthusiasm.42)__________But then, two weeks ago, the Republicans counterattacked vigorously, end the race is once again wide open. The public's generally positive impression of Senator's Kerry's character is based in large part on his record during the war in Vietnam, when he performed heroically as the commander of a "swift boat", a light military craft used by the US Navy to thread the rivers and canals of southern Vietnam. The crew of his old boat are united in their praise of him. 43)__________.Two weeks ago they began appearing in stingingly negative TV ads aired in crucial states where currently undecided voters will probably determine the outcome of the election. And the ads were effective, drawing independent voters away from Kerry. In the meantime, Kerry's own crewmen have strongly rejected the new version of events. 44)__________Journalists quickly turned up links between the navy veterans and Texas fat cats who had long supplied the Bush family with funds for political campaigns. These rich folks were in turn linked to Karl Rove, Bush' s masterful political strategist--his very own Zhuge Liang. 45)__________. Cartoonist David Horsey, like many other observers, thinks Karl Rove is up to his old tricks; a similar effort--in this case, untraceable slanderous rumors during a key primary race--undermined popular Republican Senator John McCaine's campaign for the GOP nomination in 2000. In today's cartoon Rove is portrayed as the puppeteer controlling Bush' s wealthy supporters in Texas (notice the Texas-style cowboy hat). The hand puppet in turn seems to be manipulating another, smaller puppet that represents the angry swift boat veterans.A. Nonetheless, thanks to the slow economic recovery, the difficult situation in Iraq and changing perceptions of President Bush's competence, he seemed to be on the road to a very narrow victory in November.B. But leadership, you know, isn't about taking the easy route; it is about making the tough, sometimes unpopular decisions. President Bush has demonstrated that he can make tough decisions, and I personally like the fact that his faith end his values are the foundation of his decisions.C. Not exactly. Americans outside Massachusetts, which Kerry represents in the Senate, seem to find it hard to relate to the Democratic candidate.D. While Bush would dearly love to undermine Kerry's image, he cannot afford to be seen doing so. (His own military record, after all; makes a sorry contrast with Kerry's.)E. Are the ads the Bush campaign in action or just the vengeful protest of naval officers whose leadership was questioned in a recent biography of Kerry? It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to make such an ad and buy air time; so many people immediately suspected that wealthy Republicans were behind the effort.F. However, a group of navy veterans (all present in the same area of Vietnam as Kerry and during the same period, some as senior officers, others as crewmen not on Kerry's boat but on other, similar craft) have denounced Kerry in a book that came out last month. They allege that he did not deserve the medals for valiant leadership he won in the war.G. Kerry remains an unknown quantity to most Americans, but better known Democrats are much in the news. Examine the publicity posters in the cartoon. In both upper comers are ads for ex-President Clinton's lengthy autobiography, My Lif
