    19．Nowadays more and more traditional businessmen feel worried that growing e-commerce will decrease their share of the market．
         According to a survey，90% of some people's purchases are made on the computer．As they find that by being able to go shopping online and choose the things that they need，and have them delivered right to their doorsteps，they could no longer be bothered with driving，the crowds，the noise of that，and they usually get a better selection．But sometimes they are cheated only to get the things they hate．
         Cornell University Marketing Professor Edward McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods  like clothing，which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing，as well as items that are difficult to transport．He says some traditional stores are also pleasing pleasing customers with services such as setting up or repairing computers and other electronic  equipment．
         Traditional stores also offer social experiences that some shoppers enjoy．There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place．Oftentimes，you need that last sense of"this is exactly what I want"before you part with money．And you can't al-ways get that online．It's a rather cold process．
          As more and more people have Internet access and smart phones，online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries．
    60．Traditional businessmen feel upset becauseA．
    A．people like to have their goods taken good care of
    B．growing online sales will seize their share of the market
    C．more and more young people purchase things on the computer
    D．consumers can always get a better selection by shopping online
    61．According to McLaughlin，some traditional stores are keeping customers byDA．giving customers electronic toys as presents
    B．making their goods better and cheaper
    C．delivering goods to each doorstep
    D．providing customers with extra services

    A．online shoppers tend to be friendly to each other
    B．the process of shopping online is full of emotion
    C．making buying decisions in traditional shops is difficult
    D．some shoppers like the social environment in traditional stores
    63．What is the author's attitude towards the future online commerce？A
    A．Optimistic．B．Doubtful．C．Worried．D．Concerned．

    分析 本文为一篇新闻报道．如今，越来越来越流行的网购冲击着传统商业，但是传统商业也有的独一无二的特点，比如提供额外的服务，可以先试后买等．

    7．After having worked in the University of Maryland for three years，I got a job offer from another university---Lynn University．I left my letter of offer on my present boss's desk，turned around，and closed the door quietly．I was expecting a call from my boss saying congratulations，which would show her approval of my leaving．
    In the afternoon，my boss called me，saying，"Can we meet tomorrow？"That was a good signal．The next day，I met with my boss．She said，'Nicholas，we want you．What do you want？"I said，"Boss，I deserve a significant pay raise this year due to my outstanding performance．I think I need a 10% pay raise next year as a condition for me to stay here．"My boss said，"No problem．''
    When I left her office，I called Lynn University and told them that I was going to get a 10% pay raise．They had to give me 10% more than their original pay offer in order for me to accept the job．The new boss told me that he was willing to give me more，but I would feel very bad working at this university with such a high pay．I would win a battle，but I would lose a war．He said，"The problem is that your colleague will earn less than you，so you will feel guilty（内疚）and uncomfortable．But，I can still give you 5% more than the original offer．"
    I delivered this massage to my present boss，and she told me that she would give me another 5% pay raise if I promised to refuse this new job offer．On top of that，she would strongly support my early promotion（晋升）from assistant professor to associate professor．According to the university policy，you must take at least 6years to get promoted．That was my third year of employment at this university．After refusing the new job offer，I finally enjoyed both a pay raise and early promotion．
    24．In paragraph 2，what does Nicholas mean by"That was a good signal"？C
    A．His boss would approve his leaving the University of Maryland．
    B．He would leave his present job and work for Lynn University．
    C．His boss would talk with him about a possible pay offer．
    D．His friends would congratulate him on getting a new job offer．
    25．Why did the new boss agree to another 5% raise when Nicholas asked for 10% the next day？D
    A．He did not have the right to make such a big pay offer．
    B．he did not want Nicholas to earn more than he did．
    C．Nicholas was not experienced enough to get such a raise．
    D．Nicholas would not feel good for earning too much more than others．
    26．How much pay raise did the author finally get as a result of refusing the new job offer？C
    A.5%      B.10%     C.15%     D.20%

    14．Western airliner manufacturers seem to be tripping over （绊倒） themselves in their eagerness to sign cooperative agreements with Asian partners as a low-cost route to developing new airliners．Their potential Asian partners seem to be tripping over themselves to sign such agreements，as a low-cost route to acquiring new airliner technology．If they are not careful the two sides will end up tripping over each other the one by selling its birth-right for short-term gain，the other by trying to break into a market which isn't big enough to sustain （忍受） it．
    Technology transfer works in a growing market，where the aspirations of the new entrant receiving that technology can be met through expansion．The airliner market is not such a device．
    Even the most optimistic projections of airliner sales for the next 20years show that airliner manufacture can only be profitable if a small number of aircraft builders share the available sales．It follows that if new manufacturers come into the market and take sales，their sales must come from substitution，not expansion．
    Given the complexity of today's airliners，it is unlikely that any new entrant will have both the financial and technical resources to come into the market without the involvement of an established manufacturer．In the short term，such involvement may not be to the exclusive benefit of the new entrant most of the established manufacturers are searching for ways to reduce costs of manufacture．
    In the short term，it can be of benefit to an established Western manufacturer to have either components of complete air-frames made or assembled in lower-wage economics such as China，Taiwan or Korea，while retaining the design，development and marketing of aircraft for itself．It would be a very unwise Western manufacturer which did not notice the fact that these developing economies are acquiring skills （like computing） at least as quickly as they are acquiring skills in metal bashing （猛击）．
    The danger comes when the new entrant no longer needs the established Western partner because it has acquired the technical and intellectual ability to design and build its own aircraft．An Asian partner may well find itself in the happy position of having the low-cost labour base，the high-cost technology base and the vital financial base to build a new airliner．

    74．The author's attitude towards Western/Eastern cooperation can be described asC．
    A．positive   B．progressive   C．conservative   D．negative
    75．"The airliner market is not such a device"means that the airliner marketD．
    A．does not encourage technology transfer
    B．is too limited to offer chances of success
    C．requires hi-tech rather than unaccepted devices
    D．is full of competitions for new entrants
    76．According to the author，a wise established manufacturer shouldD．
    A．try to benefit from both financial and technical resources
    B．break up his partnership with the East once profits are made
    C．keep a tight told over hi-tech development and marketing of airliners
    D．cooperate with Asian partners for a short time
    77．The word"base"in the last paragraph representsA．
    A．a place for aircraft production 
    B．the operation of aircraft
    C．a research institute 
    D．a position where to build office．

    4．Ever wonder how much a cloud weighs？What about a hurricane？A meteorologist has done some estimates and the results might surprise you．
    Let's start with a very simple white puffy cloud-a cumulus cloud（积云）．How much does the water in a cumulus cloud weigh？Peggy LeMone，senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder，Colorado，did the numbers．"The water in the little cloud weighs about 550tons，"she calculates．"Or if you want to convert it to something that might be a little more meaningful …think of elephants．"
    The thought of a hundred elephants-worth of water suspended in the sky begs another question-what keeps it up there？
    "First of all，the water isn't in elephant sized particles（微粒），it's in tiny tiny tiny particles，"explains LeMone．And those particles float on the warmer air that's rising below．But still，the concept of so much water floating in the sky was surprising even to a meteorologist like LeMone．"I had no idea how much a cloud would weigh，actually，when I started the calculations，"she says．
    So how many elephant units of water are inside a big storm cloud-10times bigger all the way around than the"puffy"cumulus cloud？Again，LeMone did the numbers：About 200，000elephants．
    Now，ratchet up the calculations for a hurricane about the size of Missouri and the figures get really massive．"What we're doing is weighing the water in one cubic meter theoretically pulled from a cloud and then multiplying by the number of meters in a whole hurricane，"she explains．
    The result？Forty million elephants．That means the water in one hurricane weighs more than all the elephants on the planet．Perhaps even more than all the elephants that have ever lived on the planet．

    67．The weight ofBis NOT mentioned in the passage．
    A．a cumulus cloud  B．a tornado  C．a hurricane  D．a storm cloud
    68．How did Peggy LeMone feel about the result of her calculations？C
    A．She found it not convincing．
    B．She thought it needed further calculations．
    C．She was quite surprised at it．
    D．She considered the calculations inaccurate．
    69．What can be inferred from the passage？C
    A．A storm cloud weighs about 200，000elephants．
    B．The water in a hurricane weighs more than that in any other kind of cloud．
    C．There are less than forty million elephants living on the earth．
    D．The water in the cloud is in very tiny partials．
    70．What is the best title for the passage？D
    A．How Much a Cloud Weighs  B．How Much a Hurricane Weighs
    C．Surprising Results       D．Elephants in the Sky．

    8．The recent，apparently successful，prediction by mathematical models of an appearance of El Nino-the warm ocean How that periodically develops along the Pacific coast of South America has excited researchers．Jacob Bjerknes pointed out years ago how winds might create either abnormally warm or abnormally cold water in the eastern equatorial （赤道附近的） Pacific．Nevertheless，before the creation of the models，no one could explain why conditions should regularly change between appearances of the warm El Nino and the so-called anti-El Nino．The answer，at least if the current model that links the behavior of the ocean to that of the atmosphere is correct，is to be found in the ocean．
             It has long been known that during an El Nino，two conditions exist：unusually warm water extends along the eastern Pacific and winds blow from the west into the warmer air rising over the warm water in the east．The contribution of the model is to show that the winds of an El Nino，which raise sea level in the east，send a signal to the west lowering sea level at the same time．According to the model，that signal is created as a negative （负的） Rossby wave，a wave of lower sea level，that moves westward parallel to the equator at 25 to 85 kilometers per day．Taking months to move across the Pacific，Rossby waves march to the western boundary of the Pacific basin，which is modeled as a smootli wall but in reality consists of quite irregular island chains．
             When the waves meet the western boundary，they are reflected，and the model predicts that Rossby waves will be broken into many coastal Kelvin waves carrying the same negative sea-level signal．These eventually shoot toward the equator，and then head eastward along the equator drove by the earth at a．speed of about．250 kilometers per day．When enough Kelvin waves of adequate amplitude （振幅） arrive from the western Pacific，their negative sea-level signal overcomes the feedback mechanism，raising the sea level，and they begin to drive the system into the opposite cold mode．This produces a gradual change in winds，one that will eventually send positive sea-level Rossby waves westward，waves that will eventually return as cold cycle-ending positive Kelvin waves beginning another warming cycle．
    67．What is the passage mainly about？D
    A．How Rossby waves are found．
    B．Where El Nino is formed．
    C．What the models predict．
    D．How the models work．
    68．Where does El Nino often appear？B
    A．Along the western coast of the USA．
    B．In the Pacific in the south，of the equator．
    C．In the Pacific in the north of the equator．
    D．Along the southern coast of South America．
    69．What is right according to the passage？A
    A．Rossby waves and Kelvin waves move in opposite directions along the equator．
    B．People could explain El Nino before the creation of the mathematical models．
    C．Adequate sea-level waves can produce westward positive cold cycle．
    D．The speed of Rossby waves is faster than that of Kelvin waves．
    70．What does the underlined word"waves"in Paragraph 3 refer to？D
    A．Kelvin waves． B．Sea-level signals．C．Coastal waves．  D．Rossby waves．
