  Do you wake up every day feeling too tired, or even upset? If so, then a new alarm clockþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"

Section Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 points)þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
Passage OneþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect “saddleþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
curl,” the Lay’s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker,þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Frito-Lay, thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America, owned by PepsiCo, and accounts for overþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow, the company has to look overseas.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first, a global product offers economies of scale with whichþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
local brands cannot compete, and second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. ”Global” does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones that consumes—especially young people—see as part of a modern, innovative (创新的) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company.Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo (标þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
识).The logo, along with the company’s long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips. would help facilitate the company’s global expansion.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created inþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rater, they see Frito-Lay asþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “We’re making products in thoseþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
countries, we’re adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
41. It is the belief of Frito-Lay’s head of global marketing that______.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world marketþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) the light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chipsþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) people all over the world enjoy eating their company’s potato chipsþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
42. What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) Its products used to be popular among overseas consumers.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) Its expansion has caused fierce competition in the snack market.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) It gives half of its annual profits to its parent company.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) It needs to turn to the word market for development.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
43. One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that_______.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brandsþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) local brands cannot compete successfully with American brandsþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) products suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profitsþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) products identified as American will have promising market valueþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
44. Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) To suit changing tastes of young consumers.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) To promote the company's strategy of globalization.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) To change the company’s long-held marketing image.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) To compete with other American chip producers.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
45. Frito-Lay's executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international marketþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
_______.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) won’t affect the eating habits of the local peopleþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) will lead to economic imperialismþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) will be in the interest of the local peopleþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) won’t spoil the taste of their chipsþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
Passage TwoþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
“Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love orexercise.” Said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  While here’s on question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you..þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands butþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who feltþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
they couldn’t get the job done.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Stress that you can manage also boost immune(免疫的) function. In a study at the AcademicþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects believed they had control over the outcome. In the second, they weren’t in control：They had to sit through a gory(血淋淋的) video on surgical procedures. Those who did well on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that’s the body’s first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones. In short bursts these hormonesþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
have a positive effect, including improved memory function. “They can help nerve cells handle  information and put it into storage,” says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
“Sustained stress is not good for you,” says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity, “It’s the occasional burst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective.”þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
46. The passage is mainly about______þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) the benefits of manageable stressþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) how to avoid stressful situationsþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) how to cope with stress effectivelyþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) the effects of stress hormones on memoryþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
47. The word “shun” (Line 1, Para.1) most probably means________.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) cut down on B) stay away fromþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) run out of D) put up withþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
48. We can conclude from the study of the 158 nurses in 2001 that_______þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) people under stress tend to have a poor memoryþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) people who can’t get their job done experience more stressþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) doing challenging work may be good for one’s healthþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) stress will weaken the body’s defense against germsþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
49. In the experiment described in Paragraph 3, the video-watchers experienced a downturn in theþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
antibody because______.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) the video was not enjoyable at allþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) the outcome was beyond their controlþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) they knew little about surgical proceduresþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) they felt no pressure while watching the videoþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
50. Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University believes that______.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) a person’s memory is determined by the level of hormones in his bodyþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) stress hormones have lasting positive effects on the brainþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) short bursts of stress hormones enhance memory functionþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) a person’s memory improves with continued experience of stress.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"

Passage ThreeþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions areþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away withoutþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
punishment.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer isþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may be the victims of uncommonly bad luck.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punchþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were forþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off (向……透露) the company that was being robbed.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail,þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if theþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (耍弄) the most confidential records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
51. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes today.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) computer criminals can escape punishment because they can’t be detected.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) people commit computer crimes at the request their company.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
52. It is implied in the third paragraph that ______.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) many more computer crimes go undetected than are discovered.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
55. The passage is mainly about ______.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
A) why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspections.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
B) why computer criminals are often able to escape punishment.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
C) how computer criminals manage to get good recommendation from their former employers.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
D) why computer crimes can’t be eliminated.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
Passage FourþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
Being the first black woman elected to Congress has made me some kind of phenomenon.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
There are nine other blacks in Congress; there are ten other women. I was the first to overcomeþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
both handicaps at once. Of the two handicaps, being black is much less of a drawback than being female.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  If I said that being black is a greater handicap than being a woman, probably no one wouldþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
question me. Why? Because “we all know” there is prejudice against black people in America.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  That there is prejudice against women is an idea that still strikes nearly all men—and, I am afraid, most women—as bizarre (异乎寻常的).þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Prejudice against blacks was invisible to most white Americans for many years. When blacksþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
finally started to “mention” it, with sit-ins, boycotts (抵制), and freedom rides, Americans were incredulous. “Who, us?” they asked in injured tones. “We're prejudiced?” It was the start of a long, painful reeducation for white America. It will take years for whites—including those who think of themselves as liberals—to discover and eliminate the racist attitudes they all actually have.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  How much harder will it be to eliminate the prejudice against women? I am sure it will be aþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
longer struggle. Part of the problem is that women in America are much more brainwashed (被洗脑的) and content with their roles as second-class citizens than blacks ever were.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  Let me explain. I have been active in politics for more than twenty years. For all but the lastþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
six, I have done the work—all the tedious details that make the difference between victory andþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
defeat on election day—while men reaped the rewards, which is almost invariably the lot ofþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
women in politics.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  It is still women—about three million volunteers—who do most of this work in the American political world. The best any of them can hope for is the honor of being district or county vice-chairman, a kind of separate-but-equal position with which a woman is rewarded for years of faithful envelope stuffing and card party organizing. In such a job, she gets a number of free trips to state and sometimes national meetings and conventions, where her role is supposed to be to vote the way her male chairman votes.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  When I tried to break out of that role in 1963 and run for the New York State Assembly seatþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
from Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant, the resistance was bitter. From the start of that campaign, I faced undisguised (不加掩饰的) hostility because of my sex.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
  But it was four years later, when I ran for Congress that the question of my sex became aþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
major issue. Among members of my own party, closed meetings were held to discuss ways ofþËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
stopping me.þËÓ7)œØªforum.liuxuehome.comÅ?à¨Ißá>†"
