do it yourself. want to fix a broadband internet connection? do it yourself. need a boarding card for your flight? do it yourself. in theory, companies can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and get quicker service. there is even talk of self-service doing for the service department what mass production did for factories, by enabling the delivery of services cheaply and on a massive scale. surely the expansion of self-service into more and more areas is to be welcomed?not necessarily. when it is done well, self-service can do good to both companies and customers. but when done badlywho has not found themselves trapped in a series of endless touchtone menus? in areas where self-service is only just started, this is less of a problem: angry customers can after all, always take their business elsewhere. but if every bank were to prefer self-service systems, customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet. as a result, some banks, for example, already promise that their telephone-banking services always offer the choice of talking to a human operator. but in return for human service, many companies will simply charge more.another disagreement to self-service is that while it saves companies money, it does not always save their customers time. in the best cases, it does, of course: checking yourself in at the airport can be quicker than queuing or making a phone call. but as more and more tasks are on to customers, they may start to hope for the days of old-fashioned service.all of this suggests that there are limits to how far self-service can be taken. companies that go too far down the self-service route or to do it incorrectly are likely to find themselves being punished. instead, a balance between self-service and traditional forms of service is necessary.1from this passage, we can see that the writer the use of self-service technology.a. dislikesb. supportsc. thinks highly ofd. makes carefully judgment on 答案解析：答案为d。本题考查作者的观点态度。结合第一段和最后一段可知，作者认为自助服务有优点也有缺点，故答案为d，作者对自助服务的评价非常小心。2what advantages does the self-service technology certainly bring?a. cutting the cost for the companies.b. saving money for customers.c. offering customers extra money. d. defeating the traditional forms of service. 答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节题。由文章第一段 “in theory, companies can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and get quicker service.” 可知，a选项正确，b、c错误。d选项未提及。3what does the writer mean by saying “customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet”?a. customers would be so angry that they kick and damage the machine providing self-service.b. customers would not be able to express their anger at the banks service by leaving therec. customers would try their best to persuade the bank to stop self-service.d. customers would elect some leaders to have a talk with the bank. 答案解析：答案为b。本题为句意理解题。本句话出现在第二段的第五句话中，如果每个银行将选择自助服务系统，客户会怎样？结合下文给的例证可知，结果是银行只能提供客户人工操作的选择，故可推断如果客户只能选择自助服务系统，一旦它出现故障，客户即使离开银行也将无法表达对银行服务的愤怒。故答案为b。4which of the following statements does the writer agree to? a. banks should supply self-service and traditional forms of service as well.b. self-service in banks has so many week points and should be stopped.c. self-service can bring about many conveniences and should be supported.d. banks dont consider customers needs in their business.答案解析：答案为a。本题考查作者的观点态度。本题与第一题类似，结合前面几题的分析，作者认为自助服务可以给银行和客户带来好处，但是自助服务也有不足之处。又由最后一段最后一句话 “instead, a balance between self-service and traditional forms of service is necessary.” 可知，作者认为自助服务与传统形式的服务保持平衡是必要的，故答案为a。社会生活类andrew ritchie, inventor of the brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would be“like a magic carpet. . . you could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag”. then he paused:“but youll always be limited by the size of the wheels. and so far no one has invented a folding wheel. “ it was a rareindeed uniqueoccasion when i was able to put ritchie right. a 19th-century inventor, william henry james grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. his bike, predictably named the grout portable, had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. all the bits fitted into grouts wonderful bag, a leather case. grouts aim:to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. now doesnt that sound familiar? grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel:his bike was a huge beast. and importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage:in grouts day, tyres were solid, which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. you couldnt do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated (充气的) tyre. so, in a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? it is not. a british design engineer, duncan fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆). throughout, the tyre remains inflated. will the young fitzsimonss folding wheel make it into production? i havent the foggiest idea. but his inventiveness shows two things. first, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. its as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago:theres plenty still to go for. second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. you can buy a folding bike for less than 1, 000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a planeminus wheels, of courseas hand baggage. folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. have we yet got the magic carpet of andrew ritchies imagination? no. but its progress. 1. we can infer from paragraph 1 that the brompton folding bike .a. was portable b. had a folding wheelc. could be put in a pocketd. looked like a magic carpet2. we can learn from the text that the wheels of the grout portable .a. were difficult to separateb. could be split into 6 piecesc. were fitted with solid tyresd. were hard to carry on a train3. we can learn from the text that fitzsimonss invention .a. kept the tyre as a whole pieceb. was made into production soonc. left little room for improvementd. changed our views on bag design4. which of the following would be the best title for the text? a. three folding bike inventorsb. the making of a folding bikec. progress in folding bike designd. ways of separating a bike wheel【参考答案】55.1-4 acac 阅读理解-banybody who can speak one language has the gift to learn another. add a linguaphone course, and that possibility can become a reality quickly and easily. study as little as half an hour a day and in twelve weeks you could be talking confidently in the language of your choice.linguaphone will provide you with everything you need to learn at your own pace, where and when you choose. and, although you arent in a classroom, you certainly wont be left all alone . our free advisory service and sort out any problem by post or phone.you can listen to your course on any cassette player. but just in case you want to study on the move or without interrupting anyone, you can also receive a linguaphone personal stereo cassette player completely free.the linguaphone cassette and information pack gives details（细节）of this offer , explains how linguaphone will work for you, and tells you how you can try a course without risking a penny , with our 14-day money-back guarantee（保证）.why not find out how you can become one of those “gifted” people who can speak another language?
