started the company in 1908 At his factory in Ivera he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter Today the company s 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 typewriters to other countries Camilllo s son Adriano started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss He introduecd 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 Janpanese 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 world s leading companies in information technology and communications There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti group one for personal computers one for other office equipment one for systerms and services and two for telecommunications 46 From the text we learn that A by 1930 Olivetti produced 13 000 typewriters a year B Olivetti earned more in the 1960s than in the 1950s C some of Olivetti s 700 staff regularly visited customers in Italy D Olivetti set up offices in other countries from the very beginning 47 What was probably the direct result of Olivetti s falling behind in electronic technology A Adriano s death B A period of financial problem C its faster progress D Its agreements with other companies 48 What do we know about Olivetti A It produced the best typewriter in the word B It designed the word s first mainframe computer C It exported more typewriter than other computer D It has five independent companies with its head office in lvrea 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 Producich of Olivetti B B 5 When something goes wrong it can be very satisfying to say Well it s so and so s fault or I know I m late but it s 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 winner s 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 don t 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 about creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens Winners don t 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 stone 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 that others 51 The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to A avoid B accept C improve D consider 52 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 help 53 When problems occur winners take them as A excuses for their failures B barriers to greater power C challenges to their colleagues D chances for self development C C Are you a problem shopper The answer is Yes if you or someone else thinks 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 6 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 can t see clocks displaying the time because they don t want you to become too aware of the time you spend there What s more food courts coffee shops and restrooms are provided so you don t 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 account 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 people s 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 many 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 7 B provide solutions to the problem shopping C scold the problem shoppers D tell a shopping story D 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 It s the reason why the French are very angry that a McDonald s is opening beneath Paris s most famous museum the Louvre 卢浮宫 The new restaurant will be the 1 142nd McDonald s in France and will open in the underground approach to the museum But many French people can t understand why this American chain is opening in the heart of French culture However McDonald s is paying no notice to the complaint McDonald s now has 31 000 chains worldwide Tourists are hungry and opening chains in tourist spots pays well There is another chain threatening France s heritage This time it is coffee rather than burgers As more and more Starbucks open in Paris traditional French caf s are forced to close The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country s 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 McDonald s wouldn t open so near the Louvre if it weren t not going to make money Similarly a Pizza Hut wouldn t overlook 俯瞰 Egypt s 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 McDonald s is opening beneath the Louvre A Because they will spend many hours in McDonald s 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 McDonald s 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 McDonald s tends to be in the heart of culture D it will help to attract more tourists for the museum 60 What is the trouble with American companies opening chains all over the world 8 A The traditional stores of a country are forced to fight back B The traditional stores of a country become dependant C They have negative effect on a country s culture D The multi billion dollar chain can t 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 A F 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 Nowadays millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse NIDA 1999 shows that around 2 of the population over age 12 were using drugs non medically 62 NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active contributing citizens NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drugs use them in a responsible manner 63 Nevertheless overuse of drugs such as opioids central nervous system CNS depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern Although this abuse affects many people worldwide particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults teenagers and women 64 Though it may be a surprise to many the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13 of the US population those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs 70 were women who had overused medicines 65 Unfortunately this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 65 In general among women and men who are using either an anti anxiety drug or a sedative women are t
