20、ti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,” she said. “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like wh

21、en I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.” The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message. But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the Briti

22、sh government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “very ill-informed” and a “loose cannon”. (乱放炮的人) The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: “This is a distraction (干扰) we do not ne

23、ed. All Im trying to do is help.”Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princesss trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed abou

24、t both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government. To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princesss views on landmines were not very different from government

25、 policy, and that it was “working towards a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.” For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much dest

26、ruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems. 41. Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997_.A. to clarify the British governments stand on landminesB. to establish her image as a friend of landmi

27、ne victims 1C. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there D. to voice her support for a total ban of landmines 42.

30、how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular” coffee, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in populari

31、ty, and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while, people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).The importance of the product life cycle to markete

32、rs is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. Did you know, for ex

33、ample, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military?Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new

34、 market sections.Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets. Note, a

35、lso, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.45.

They are in northern Pennsylvanias Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildli

45、fe.The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the P

46、oconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of Americas “Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancys bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders

47、to balance economic growth with environmental protection.

Two ye

48、ars ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his familys land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook owes the Conservancys

49、 success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents.“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wild

50、life.

54、work, Linda Krentz of Beaverton, Oregon, felt her brain go on strike. “I just couldnt get going in the morning,” she says. “Id get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring.” Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall a

55、nd winter, and she saw the light literally. Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking its still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million

56、Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions. But theres never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference. After all, its hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is

57、on. Thats why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo(安慰剂) effects.Until now, in three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning

58、than in the evening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that gives off negatively charged ions(离子). The third used the timing of light therapy as the control.Why does light therapy work? No one re

59、ally knows. “Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the bodys internal clock,” says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and no

60、t others is a mystery.That hasnt stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctors prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients w

61、ho suffer from mental illness that cant be treated with light. Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed.In any event, you should choose a reputable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should give off only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages

62、 the eyes. If you are photosensitive(对光敏感的), you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning. Thats an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with.57. What is the probable cause of Krentzs problem?A. An unexpecte

63、d gain in body weight.B. Unexplained impairment of her nervous system.C. Weakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter.D. Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes.58. What is the CURRENT view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights?A. Its effect rema

64、ins to be seen. B. It serves as a kind of placebo.C. It proves to be an effective therapy. D. It hardly produces any effects.59. What is psychologist Michael Termans major concern?A. Winter depressives will be addicted to using light boxes.B. No mental patients would bother to consult psychiatrists.

65、C. Bad light boxes will give off harmful ultraviolet lights.D. Light therapy could be misused by certain mental patients.60. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Winter depressives prefer light therapy in spite of its inconvenience.B. Light therapy increases the patients photosensitivity.C.

66、Eye damage is a side effect of light therapy.D. Light boxes can be programmed to correspond to shifts in the body clock.第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后所给的选项中选出能填入每一空白出的最佳选项。（满分10分）Jack: Hi, Frank.Frank：Hi，JackJack： 61 Frank：Yes，I have some books to read, but I can do it later.Jack: I want you to do me a favor.Frank
