At his factory in ivera, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter. Today the companys head office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world. By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to customers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more type writers to other countries.Camillos son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. He introduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and design specialists. The company developed new and better typewriters and the calculators (计算器). In 1959 it produced the ELLA computer system. This was the first mainframe (主机) computer designed and traded in Italy.After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. Other companies, especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company. In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marking and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced office equipment. Soon it became one, of the words leading companies in information technology and communications. There are now five independent companies in information technology and communications. There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti groupone for personal computers, one for other office equipment, one for systems and services, and two for telecommunications.46.

Its agreements with other companies48. What do we know about Olivetti? A. It produced the best typewriter in the world. B. It designed the worlds first mainframe computer. C. It exported more typewriter than other computer. D. It has five independent companies with its head office in Ivrea.49. The best title for the text would be . A. The origin of Olivetti B. The Success of Olivetti C. The History of Olivetti D. The Production of OlivettiBWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, its so-and-sos fault.” Or “I know Im late, but its not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success. Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.50. According to the passage, winners . A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives C. have responsible and able colleagues D. blame themselves rather than others51. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . A. avoid B. accept C. improve D. consider52. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should . A. find a better way to handle the problem B. blame him for his lack of responsibility C. tell him to find the cause of the problem D. ask a more able colleague for help53. When problems occur, winners take them as . A. excuses for their failures B. barriers to greater power C. challenges to their colleagues C. chances for self-developmentC Are you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or someone else think that you sometimes get carried away with shopping. In other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an “ out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. When we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. In this case, we often go shopping.A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For some people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls where you cant see clocks displaying the time because they dont want you to became too aware of the time you spend there. Whats more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you dont have to leave the mall because of your physical needs.Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior. For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written acount of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control.54. Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers? A. Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use. B. Those who just walk around the shopping malls. C. Those who are occupied in too much shopping. D. Those who feel sorry for their shopping.55. According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping? A. The awareness of how market forces work. B. The desire for status, power, beauty or success. C. Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in peoples life. D. Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.56. What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour? A. Never going to the shopping malls because there are money tricks. B. Applying for a credit card before we go shopping. C. Making the shopping time as short as possible. D. Making a shopping list before we go shopping.57. The author writes this passage to . A. inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppers B. provide solutions to the problem shopping. C. scold the problem shoppers D. tell a shopping storyD French people pride themselves on their delicious foods, such as cheese, baguettes and croissants(two kinds of food). In fact, food is an important part of French culture. Families and friends spend hours over the dinner table each night. It is the opposite of the fast-food habit common in other parts of the West.Its the reason why the French are very angry that a McDonalds is opening beneath Pariss most famous museum: the Louvre(卢浮宫). The new restaurant will be the 1, 142nd McDonalds in France, and will open in the underground approach to the museum. But many French culture.However, McDonalds is paying no notice to the complaint. McDonalds now has 31,000 chains world wide. Tourists are hungry, and opening chains in tourist spots pays well.There is another chain threatening Frances heritage. This time it is coffee rather than burgers. As more and more Starbucks open in Paris, traditional French caf are force to close.The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a countrys culture. How can a small, independent coffee shop compete with the multi-billion dollar chain? You can go to a Starbucks in any city in the world, but you can only go to a Parisian caf in France.Responsibility is with the tourists. A McDonalds wouldnt open so near the Louvre if it werent not going to make money. Similarly, a Pizza Hut wouldnt overlook (俯瞰) Egypts Great Pyramid if no one wants to sit in it. Maybe next time you visit the Great Wall, you should think twice before ordering a Cappuccino in the Starbucks.58. Why are the French very angry when a McDonalds is opening beneath the Louvre? A. Because they will spend many hours in McDonalds. B. Because French food culture is very impressive. C. Because they also have the fast-food habit. D. Because they are proud of their own food.59. The McDonalds will be located in the underground approach to the museum because . A. the complaints of the French are useless B. opening a chain in tourist spot is rewarding C. McDonalds tends to be in the heart of culture D. it will help to attract more tourists for the museum60. What is the trouble with American companies opening chains all over the world? A. The traditional stores of a country are forced to fight back. B. The traditional stores of a country become dependent. C. They have negative effect on a countrys culture. D. The multi-billion dollar chain cant be matched.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的AF选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。61.
