1.Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers.It sounds simple and achievable.But,(50)inreality,words of wisdom are soon forgotten.Once companies have attracted customers they often (51)overlook the second half of the story.In the excitement of beating off the competition,negotiating prices,securing orders,and delivering the product,managers tend to become carried away.They forget what they regard as the boring side of business-(52)ensuring that the customer remains a customer.
(53)Failing to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually.It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10and 30per cent of its customers every years.In constantly changing (54)markets,this is not surprising.What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the(55)financial
implications.Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big (56)difference in its performance.Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to (57)profit increases of between 25and 85per cent.
In the US,Domino's Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000over ten years.A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and(58)asaresult never returns,is losing the company thousands of dollars in(59)potential profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer (60)loyalty is impossible to deny."In practice most companies'marketing effort is focused on getting customers,with little attention paid to(61)keeping them",says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University'School of Management."Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.(62)Established customers tend to buy more,are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers.Furthermore,they tend to be less price (63)sensitive,and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising.Retaining customers also makes it (64)difficult for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.
50.A.in particularB.in realityC.at leastD.first of all
51.A.emphasizeB.doubtC.overlookD.believe
52.A.denyingB.ensuringC.arguingD.proving

59.A.hugeB.potentialC.extraD.reasonable
60.A.beliefsB.loyaltyC.habitsD.interest
61.A.alteringB.understandingC.keepingD.attracting

分析 本文是一篇议论文.主要论述了顾客的忠诚是企业成功的关键.在激烈的市场竞争中,谁能吸引并留住了客户谁就发展壮大.但是这个至理名言却被很多企业抛之脑后,确认顾客就是顾客,而事实上不把注意力放在吸引和留住顾客身上会使很多企业每年蒙受巨大损失.顾客的数量对一家公司而言至关总要,有很大的潜在利润,所以培养顾客对公司、企业的忠诚不可忽视.

解答 50.B  考查介词短语.in reality相当于in fact 事实上,根据前后句意:这听起来非常简单也易行,但是智慧的语言很快就会被遗忘.in reality在这里用于进一步说明事实的真相.in particular特别,尤其;at least至少;first of all 首先.利用排除法,故选B.

63.D  考查形容词辨析.根据语境可知,此外,固定的客户往往对价格不太敏感,他们可以提供口头的免费广告.故选D.
64.B  考查形容词辨析.根据语境可知,报留住客户也使竞争者很难进入市场或增长市场份额.故选B.

A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China —"tuhao" — which loosely translated means "nouveau riche". There have been more than 100 million references to the word "tuhao" on social media since early September.

It's being used to describe everything from the new People's Daily building, to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling, and the new gold-coloured iPhone.

In Chinese "tu" means earth and "hao" means rich. To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have made it rich quick — but don't quite have the manners, or sophistication to go along with it. It's like the term "nouveau riche", says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham — but has even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).

"Tuhao" is actually an old word, dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1,500 years ago, but it has always meant something rather different. During the communist revolution, from the 1920s to early 1950s, it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry who would bully those beneath them.

This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a more simple life. The monk replies instead with the phrase: "Tuhao, let's be friends!"

Chinese Internet users are highly creative in their use of language, and are constantly inventing, and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship(审查) rules. But in this case, its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it expresses China's changing society so well — many people sneer at those with wealth, but are secretly jealous.

1.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Tuhao, a new popular word in China

B. The long history of Tuhao

C. The new usage of Tuhao

D. Tuhao, a newly-invented Chinese word

2.Which of the following may NOT be considered “tuhao”?

A. A vulgar nouveau riche

B. A bully landholder

C. A quick-rich peasant without proper manners

D. A Buddhist monk.

3.The last but one paragraph mainly tells us ______.

A. what the new usage of the word is

B. how the word becomes popular again

C. why the unhappy man went to the Buddhist monk

D. what advice the monk gave the unhappy man

What is a fair wage? 1. These are some of the questions the United Nations International Labour Organisation(ILO) has recently investigated.

With a global population of over seven billion, is it actually possible to measure an average amount?_ 2._ Using the total wage bill from over seventy countries, they have multiplied the amounts by the number of earners in each country. The economists then tallied up the results and divided them by the total number across the world The result was a world average wage equivalent to $1,490 a month. _3._

This figure might seem very high because they calculated the amount using purchasing power parity dollars, which takes into account the fact that it is cheaper to live in some countries than others. _4._

Calculating an average sum like this might not be a completely fair representation, but these figures do help us to understand how the world is developing, both economically, in the quality of life people are experiencing and their standard of living.

But the result shows that the average wage is still relatively low and there remains a huge difference in levels of affluence around the world. _5._ Is this fair? For many, pay equality still seems very far out of reach.

A. The ILO has now tried to work out the sums.

B. The ILO used statistics from over 70 different countries

C. Why aren't more people in the world offered pay equality?

D. That is approximately $75 a day for a 20-day working month.

E. Some people live on just two dollars a day, while others are earning more than a million dollars a year.

F. When someone works for themselves, what are they called?

G. The data also did not include the huge number of people who appear in poverty statistics or who are self-employed.

6.I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves,most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into,take part.in.and live in.
     With this unshakable belief,I,at.fourteen,decided to become a writer.Here too,reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own  voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with,or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read,because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works,what doesn't and,in the end,together with lots of practice,what voice he has.
    Now I am in college,and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品).As a law student,my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,all from the comfort of my own armchair,to experience,though secondhand,exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
