III. 阅读理解 (共20小题, 共40分)
A
If a business wants to sell its products internationally, it had better do some market research first. This is a lesson that some large American corporations have learned in the hard way.
What's in the name
Sometimes the problem is the name. When General Motors introduced its Chevy Nova into Latin America, it overlooked the fact that Nova in Spanish means“ It doesn't go” Sure enough, the Chevy Nova never went anywhere in Latin America.
Translation problems
Sometimes it is the slogan that doesn't work. No company knows this better than Pepsi- Cola, with its“ Come alive with Pepsi!” campaign. The campaign was so successful in the United States that Pepsi translated its slogan literally (按字面意思的) for its international campaign. As it turned out, the translations were not quite right. Pepsi was begging Germans to“ Come out of the grave” and telling the Chinese that“ Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave.”
A picture is worth a thousand words
Other times, the problem involves packaging. A picture of a smiling baby has helped sell countless jars of Gerber baby food. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in African countries, the picture on the jar shows what the jar has in it, for many people there can't read.
Twist of fate
Even culture and religious factors and pure coincidence can be involved. Thorn McAn shoes have a Thorn McAn“ signature” inside. To people in Bangladesh, which is a Muslim country, this signature looked like Arabic script for the word Allah. In that country, feet are considered unclean, and Muslims felt the company was offending God's name by having people walk on it.
41. From the text we learn that .
A. Chevy Nova was brought in Latin America
B. General Motors did the best market research of all companies
C. Pepsi still sold well in China owing to the translation problems
D. the“ Come alive with Pepsi” campaign worked well in the US
42. What was Gerber's problem

43. For what reason were Thorn McAn shoes turned down in Bangladesh
A. They are not designed attractively.
B. Their advertisements are not persuasive.
C. A signature looking like the word Allah was in the shoes.
D. Problem for Thorn McAn was the company's name.
44. The intended readers of the passage are .
A. product advertisers B. market researchers
C. managers of Sales Department D. businesses to promote products abroad
45. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Lessons from some large corporations. B. How to make use of advertisements.
C. The importance of market research. D. The importance of packaging
B
There exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in our lives. Putting a smile on someone 's face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co- worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies , as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am, busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor, we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drive s people crazy. We all need to find a way to avoid the sadness and bring a little light into our lives.
Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together. .

C
When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into“ real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. So I changed my mind and choose Business Management as my major. I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing ing out of this experience, I realize it is OK to be different from others and to study things like classic art history and . other majors offered in the College of Humanities(人文学科).
The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective(视角). How could one effectively be an unbiased (无偏见的) writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society How could one speak persuasively with closed minds Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a broader perspective, we will be more free, more open- minded, and less limited in what we can become.
STEM ( science, technology, engineering and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studies while humanities majors learn“ soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing (综合) ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you Think of it. How often do you communicate with others Produce ideas Encounter people from other cultures Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills
If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed. The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist's grace to our rapidly evolving high- tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.

A. He was tired of learning comparative literature.
B. He came to enjoy learning marketing techniques.
C. He wanted to go to the same university as his friends.
D. He believed Business Management was more practical.
52. According to the author, what is a possible way to gain a broad perspective
A. Making more friends and learning from them.
B. Exchanging ideas in a philosophy seminar.
C. Opening your mind to future possibilities.
D. Getting to know the popular opinion of society.

IV. 阅读表达 (共5小题, 共10分)
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways Can they lie with their bodies and behavior Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why Dishonesty often helps them survive.
2 Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator(猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the " hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jay s seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else. Birds called cuckoo s have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.
Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.
Chimps are dishonest in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.
As children, many of us learn the saying " You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.

62. How does a plover deal with it when a predator - approaches its nest ( no more than 15 words)
