?Read the article below about how to set up shop on the Internet.

?For each question 31—40, write one word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet.

SETTING UP SHOP ON THE INTERNET

If you want to set up shop on the Internet, the first thing you will need to get started is, quite simply, SOMETHING to sell. You will need to find a supplier (31) a large inventory of wholesale items. The products have to be at a low enough cost that you can make a large profit margin (32) re-sale. Plus you will need a large variety of items to cover a wide range of your customers' needs and preferences (33) will keep them coming back by offering new items. Next you will need a professional looking website that will give your company (34) well established look and make your customers enjoy (35) experience at your website and will create an environment in which they will want to make purchases. It is also a good idea to accept credit card payments. With the development of secured orders forms, the majority of Internet customers want the convenience to be able to pay (36) their credit card rather than mailing a check (37) money order.

And finally, you will need the marketing strategies that will effectively show you how to bring new customers to your site, and keep them coming back as repeat customers. (38) this point, the World Wide Web is clearly unstoppable. The amount of sales exceeded $ 10 billion dollars last year and is predicted to steadily increase each year (39) thousands of Internet users are jumping on-line daily and making their purchases. You can be set up to accept their orders and claim (40) share of this multi-billion dollar a year market.

In November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure. The authorities prom
ised that it would not happen again. Pessimists were certain that it would occur again within five years at the latest. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million people. In 1965, the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of comparative prosperity. In 1997, the disaster was much more serious because it came when unemployment was high and the city was suffering from one of its worst heat waves.

In 1965, there was little crime or looting during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested, in 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted. Looters smashed shop windows and helped themselves to jewelry, clothes or television sets. Nearly 4, 000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policemen available was quite inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs which far outnumbered them and included armed men.

Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most businesses remained closed the next day. The black-out started at 9:30 p. m. , when lightning hit and knocked out vital cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise.

The vast majority of New Yorkers, however, were not involved in looting. They helped strangers, distributed candles and batteries, and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights, refrigerators, elevators, water and electrical power. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.

Look at the first paragraph, who were fight? The authorities or the pessimists?

A.The authorities.

B.The pessimists.

C.Both.

D.Neither.

听力原文: London in the 17th century was very attractive, like many European cities of the time. There was a beautiful cathedral, St. Paul's, and a magnificent Town Hall, the Guildhall. Also, there were many attractive churches and important buildings. There was one large bridge across the River Thames, and on the south side of the river there were one or two theatres, including Shakespeare's theatre, the Globe.

However, the majority of the half a million inhabitants of the city lived in small houses in narrow, dirty streets. There were no drains, so people threw their dirty water and rubbish onto the street. Because of this, there was a strong smell and there were many rats and flies. In 1665, there was a great plague in the city of London. At least 70,000 people died and many others left London and went into the country for several months. Then slowly the plague died away and people started to return from the country.

On September 2, 1666 at about three o'clock in the morning, a fire suddenly started in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane. There was a strong wind and the fire spread quickly from one street to the next. The fire lasted for three days and destroyed 13,200 homes and 88 churches, including St. Paul's Cathedral, the Guildhall and many other important buildings. This was the end of the old city of London.

(33)

A.Near Town Hall.

B.In a narrow, dirty street.

C.Behind many attractive churches.

D.On the south side of the River Thames.

Insurance companies provide a service to the community by protecting it against expected a
nd unexpected disasters. Before an insurance company will agree to insure anything, it collects accurate figures about the risk. It knows, for example, that the risk of a man being killed in a plane accident is less than the risk he takes in crossing a busy road. This enables it to quote (报价) low figures for travel insurance. Sometimes the risk may be high, as in motor-racing or mountaineering. Then the company charges a much higher price. If too many climbers have accidents, the price rises still further. If the majority of climbers fall off mountains, the company will refuse to insure them.

An ordinary householder may wish to protect his home against fire or his property against burglary. A shop-keeper may wish to insure against theft. In normal cases, the company will check its statistics and quote a premium (保险费). If it is suspicious, it may refuse to quote. If it insures a shop and then receives a suspicious claim, it will investigate the claim as a means of protecting itself against false claims. It is not unknown for a businessman in debt to burn down his own premises (房产) so that he can claim much money from his insurance company. He can be sure that the fire will be investigated most carefully. Insurance companies also accept insurance against shipwreck or disaster in the air. Planes and ships are very expensive, so a large premium is charged, but a reduction is given to companies with an accident-free record.

Every week insurance companies receive premium payments from customers. These payments can form. a very large total running into millions of dollars. The company does not leave the money in the bank. It invests in property, shares, farms and even antique paintings and stamps. Its aim is to obtain the best possible return on its investment. This is not as greedy as it may seem, since this is one way by which it can keep its premiums down and continue to make a profit while being of service to the community.

According to the first paragraph in the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.A passenger by air will take less risk of being killed than a man crossing a busy road.

B.A passenger by air will take greater risk of being killed than a man crossing a busy road.

C.A passenger by air will have to pay more to the insurance company than a mountain climber.

D.A motorist should pay the highest price to the insurance company.

Back to the shop floorot Attwood, Chief Executive of Attwood Publicity, has attracted the
attention of his industry by going to work in one of the company's packaging facilities for two months. Why has ha done this? 'Definitely not for marketing purposes,' he says. 'Though I know that other people in my position have done that. My background's in finance rather than the operational side -and I must admit that I feel a bit out of touch. So what I'm interested in is getting to know the people working in an important part of the business.'

Attwood's packaging facility is unusual in that the number of manual workers there is double that in similar companies. Attwood has a reputation for innovation, which explains why, although some extremely up-to- date machinery has just been installed, the majority of the work is still done by hand. Traditional machines simply cannot process certain brochures and other products quickly and cheaply enough.

At first, Attwood was embarrassed by his lack of speed in comparison with the other workers. Now he feels he is beginning to catch up. He had thought that money was the main motivation and that payment by results was the best way of ensuring quick and efficient work. He now realises that while factors such as the type of background music being played have some short-term effect on speed, most workers keep up with other people simply in order to ensure an efficient style. that works for everybody.

Attwood was confident at the start that the work would allow him to experience problems directly for himself. Now, after seven weeks, however, he realises that the most useful knowledge comes from listening to others, learning about their years of experience - and being able to ask questions.

He is also pleased that any early coldness shown towards him has now disappeared and most workers feel confident that he takes their work seriously. They also now feel that they can be honest with him. Attwood has listened to complaints about Iow wages and the fact that management are seen to have more flexibility than workers and more opportunities for promotion. The workers' openness has already had results. Vacancies have started to be displayed throughout the company and interested staff of all levels are encouraged to apply.

As the two-month period approaches its end, Attwood feels 'amazingly positive' about the experience: 'I've had to think more about how and why we do things than I've done for years,' 'he says.

Why did Attwood decide to work in one of his company's packaging facilities?

A.to gain publicity for the company

B.to make contact with the workforce

C.to look for ways of controlling costs
