单选题 {{B}}Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:{{/B}} It is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces-things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health. It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves. Convenient flats, "motherly" visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied--the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one's fellows.

单选题These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices. Buildings account for 65 percent of total U. S. electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural re- sources such as gasoline, and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on previously developed land, so that the buildings don't destroy forests or other wild habitats(栖息地). Marty Dettling is a project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green residential high-rise building. According to Dealing, "We've reduced our energy consumption by one-third and our water by 50 percent. Not everyone is leaping to move into a green building, however. Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Despite this, Dettling hopes that green buildings will become common in the future. "It's going to be big," she said.

单选题{{B}}Passage One{{/B}} When Columbus reached the New World, com was the most widely grown plant in the Americas. This plant's range extended from what is now southern Canada to lower South America. At that time some tribes cultivated it at sea level, others at elevation(海拔高度) of more than 11 000 feet. "Columbus had no way of knowing that corn was far more valuable than the spices(香料) and gold he had hoped to find." said Frances B. King, a professor at a university of Pittsburgh. Through human intervention, this plant has developed into several hundred races, or varieties. Their heights vary from 2 to 12 feet, and their maturity ranges from little more than 2 months to almost a year. Their ears vary not only in color, but also in size. Unlike other cereals(谷类), corn bears little resemblance to its wild ancestors. In fact, it differs from the appearance of its immediate ancestors more than any other cultivated plant known. From humble origins as a lowland grass, corn developed into the western world's important grain. As its high yields allowed communities to grow far beyond what early agriculture could feed, most scientists viewed corn as having largely fueled pre-Columbian growth and civilization. Now, new findings are greatly altering researchers' notions about the time when com revolution occurred. New dates for its emergence from Mesoamenrica do not support the widely held view. The evidence now suggests that the signs of corn in Americas can date back 5 500 years at least.

单选题Selling is the direct confrontation between the company and its customer. Management training and material tend to be devoted to “closing the sale”, "effective presentation skills", "use of visual aids" , and so on. The one aspect of selling which is often neglected is "prospecting(寻找可能的顾客)". In advance of any direct selling activity or, indeed, any promotion, it is important to take time and allocate resources to prospecting for clients. Prospecting identifies buyers and makes the best use of time available for selling. It is the quality, not the quantity, of prospects that matters. Market segmentation(条块化) will show the market segment most likely to yield buyers, e.g. manufacturing companies with a turnover in excess of ￡5 million within 50 miles of your offices. Building up a prime prospect file is the most valuable activity a salesperson can do. Once achieved, canvassing(游说顾客) is necessary only to "top up" the prospect reservoir when the level drops; that is, a prospect is converted to a customer, ceases to be a prime prospect and is replaced by another prime prospect. The prospect file will help only if it is kept up to date and used systematically. A follow-up or bring-forward system will force you to plan your time effectively. The selection of prospects can be done at the desk or by telephone. It involves a relatively low cost resource, compared with a field salesperson. The use of computers enables companies to develop a database of prospects which can be used interactively, depending on sales objectives or changes in strategy. By using a computerized marketing database, you can analyze important factors such as source of prospect/lead, date last called, change in staff. A new sales in a market sector can open the door to acquiring a number of new prospects in this sector.
