19、question number.Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage:In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profound
20、ly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “trash talk (废话)”. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-com
21、mon talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of societys moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other peoples lives.Like Jerr
22、y Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individuals quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbor
23、s.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it
24、is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main target audiences are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with lifes tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are
25、18-to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the shows exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many year
26、s now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.31. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _.A. more family-orientedB.
27、unusually popularC. more profoundD. relatively formal32.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience _.A. remain fascinated by themB. are ready to face up to themC. remain indifferent to themD. are willing to get involved in them33.Which of the following is
28、likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A. A new type of robot.B. Racist hatred.C. Family budget planning.D.

29、hows _.A. have monopolized the talk show circuitB. exploit the weaknesses in human natureC. appear at different times of the dayD. are targeted at different audiencesQuestions 36-40 are based on the following passage:To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the differe
30、nce between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on “persuasive salesmanship” to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce g
31、oods and then convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which s
32、imply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.This concept does not imply that business is benevolent (慈善的) or that consu
33、mer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction-the firm and the customer-and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understand
34、ing and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic
35、Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!36.The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, _.A. the practice of turning goods into moneyB. making goods available for purchaseC. the customer-centred approachD. a form of persuasive salesmanship37.What was th
36、e main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?A. The needs of the market.B. The efficiency of production.C. The satisfaction of the user.D.

37、ans “_”.A. to sell the largest possible amount of goodsB. to transport goods as efficiently as possibleC. to dispose of these goods in large quantitiesD. to redesign these goods for large-scale production39.What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?A. Traditional goods have a str
38、onger appeal to the majority of people.B. It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.C. Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.D. Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.40.In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on _.A.
39、 its main characteristicB. its social impactC. its possible consequenceD. its theoretical basisQuestions 41-45 are based on the following passage:Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy (冷漠) and stagnation (呆滞). Too much conflict leads to
40、 divisiveness (分裂) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way.Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple g
41、eneralizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives. Some of the executives worked for profit-seeking organizations and others for not-for-profit organizations.Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict varied systematically as a function of the typ
42、e of organization. Specifically, managers in not-for-profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their organizations and that it promoted higher quality decision making than might be achieved in the absence of conflict.Managers of for-profit organizations saw a different p
43、icture. They believed that conflict generally was damaging and usually led to poor-quality decision making in their organizations. Schwenk interpreted these results in terms of the criteria for effective decision making suggested by the executives. In the profit-seeking organizations, decision-makin
44、g effectiveness was most often assessed in financial terms. The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict enhanced financial indicators.In the not-for-profit organizations, decision-making effectiveness was defined from the perspective of satisfying constituents. Given the complexities
45、 and ambiguities associated with satisfying many diverse constituents executives perceived that conflict led to more considered and acceptable decisions.41.In the eyes of the author, conventional opinion on conflict is _.A. wrongB. oversimplifiedC. misleadingD. unclear42.Professor Charles R. Schwenk
46、s research shows _.A. the advantages and disadvantages of conflictB. the real value of conflictC. the difficulty in determining the optimal level of conflictD. the complexity of defining the roles of conflict43.We can learn from Schwenks research that _.A. a persons view of conflict is influenced by the purpose of his organizationB. conflict is necessary for managers of for-profit organizationsC. different people resolve conflicts in different waysD. it is impossible for people to avoid conflict44.The passage suggests that in for-profit organizations _.A. ther
