In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the higher up the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear is better than This stereo（立体声音响）does not work.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.56. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, its better to complain to _.A. a shop assistant B. the managerC. theproducer D. a public organization57. The most effective complaint about what was bought can be made by _.A. showing the fault of it to the producerB.saying firmly it is of the poor qualityC. asking politely to change it D. explaining exactly what is wrong with it58. According to the passage, the last way a consumer has to use is _. A. to write to the producer B. to quarrel with the managerC. to threaten to take the seller to courtD. to collect several fighters to threaten the seller59. The passage mainly tells us _. A. how to make the complaint have a good effect B. how to settle a consumers complaint C. how to avoid buying something wrong D. how to deal with complaints from customersB Phone books have white, blue and yellow pages. The white pages list people with phones by last name. The blue pages contain numbers of city services, government services, and the public schools. Business and professional services are listed in a special directory-the yellow pages. The area covered by one area code may be small or large. For example, New York City has one code area, but so does the whole state of Oregon. There is an area code of map of the US and Canada in the front of the white pages. Pay phones have numbers in the US. This means you can call a friend at a phone booth. Or if you are making a long distance call and run out of money, give the number on your phone to the person you are talking to. Then hang up the receiver and they can call you back. If you make a long distance call and get a wrong number, call the operator and explain what happened. This means that you can make the call again to the right number without having to pay more money; or you can have the phone company mail you a credit coupon that has the same value as the phone call. Some companies advertise a service called WATS. You can dial a special number without a long distance charge. These are called “toll free numbers” and the area code for all of them is 800. WATS means Wide Area Telephone Service. 60. In the yellow pages, you can find a list of _. A. people with phonesB. public schoolsC. professional servicesD. city services61. We know from the second paragraph that _. A. the area code of New York may be small B. the area code shows the state of development C. the code depends on the size of the district D. small areas have small area codes62. What will you do if you run out of money when making a long distance call ? A. you can tell him/ her your phone number and wait to be called backB. you can tell him/her your number, hold on and wait to be called backC. you have to hang up and never make any phone calls to anyone.D. you have got to run out and turn to some friend for help.63. The underlined word “coupon” means a small piece of printed paper that gives you the right _. A. to use the telephone of the phone company freely B. to get any telephone service if you like C. to make a free long distance call after midnightD. to pay less for something or get something freeCFamily relationship, love and friendship are the three most important emotions in the world. Family relationship is the inborn connection, which you cant avoid or choose at will. Love, for a student, is not always within our reach and as for friendship, personally, its most important. Nowadays, it is common to see friendship in colleges or middle schools. What is difficult is how to deal with personal contacts between different sexes. The key is to know how to tell love from friendship.The term, friend, covers quite a few. It can be a comrade, a confidant, a partner, a playmate, a brother, etc. Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single handed. We need help from, and give help to, others. In the modern age, people attach more importance to relations and connections. Without stars, the night sky wont be so beautiful; Without friendship, our life wont be meaningful. With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. So, friendship may be a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust if possible, while love is the company you are always feeling like keeping. And friendship is when you see somebodys staring eyesight, you feel only care and calm while love is when someone gazes into your eyes, you will not keep calm. Love is not a word spoken out easily. In a way, love is selfish, while friendship is selfless and extensive. Love is not necessarily to be returned. But friendship needs something in exchange. You cant wish “let there be love in our hearts”, for love needs enough time to sow, to water and to take good care of and also needs a rosy, calm, relaxed, emotional and private atmosphere. With such heavy feelings of high pressure and nervousness, do you think the schoolyard is the proper field for us students to sow our love?64. In the writers opinion, _ .A. family relationship can be chosenB. love is more important than friendship C. friendship is more important for students D. social development is based on friendship65. The writer of the passage is probably a _. A. parent B. headmaster C. teacher D. student66. What is the purpose of this passage? A. Tell students not to sow their love in school.B. Give suggestions to students on how to find their true love in school.C. Advise students not to get in touch with the opposite sex. D. Teach students how to tell love from friendship.DNorman Borlaug led what was known as the Green Revolution. As a plant scientist, he may have saved more lives than anyone else in history - as many as a billion, by some estimates. He traveled the world to help poor people develop better ways to produce food.He worked in the fields to show farmers new ways to grow wheat, rice and other crops. And he worked in the laboratory to breed new wheat varieties that could resist disease. Lately he worried about a new threat, a fungus (真菌)called Ug99.，which is a new strain of stem rust organism(微生物) that has the power to destroy most of the wheat varieties being grown around the world. It was discovered in Uganda ten years ago and has spread in Africa and now Asia.In 1944 he began work on a project in Mexico financed by the Rockefeller Foundation. By the middle of the 1950s, Mexico had doubled its wheat production per hectare.Norman Borlaug and his team had even greater success in Pakistan and India. Farmers could grow four times more than before. Later in life he tried to bring the Green Revolution to Africa.He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom seven years later. But not everyone considered him a hero. Environmental activists criticized his intensive methods, including the use of fertilizers and pesticides. He suggested that Western critics had never known real hunger, and wondered if they had ever watched their children go hungry. But later, he also urged farmers not to overuse chemicals.At his 95th birthday party in March, Norman Borlaug told VOA that he was worried about the worlds ability to feed itself.He said, We are adding eight-four million people to the population every year. We have a big job on our hands.The World Food Program said last week that the number of hungry people will pass one billion this year for the first time in history. But the United Nations agency says the flow of food aid is at a twenty-year low.67. What does this passage mainly talk about Norman Borlaug?A . His new finding in plants.B. His devotion to the Green Revolution.C. His scientific spirits.D. His concern about increasing population in the world68. Which of the following is NOT true about the food problem?A. There are too many poor people.B. The population increases at a fast speed.C. Environmental activists care little about the poor.D. Food aid becomes less69. Which of the following shows the right order according to Norman Borlaugs experience? He worried about a fungus called Ug99. He won Nobel Peace Prize. He worked in Mexico. He celebrated his ninety-fifth birthday.A. - B. -C. - D. -70. According to the passage Norman Borlaug _?A. had hoped to go to Africa later in his lifeB. paid little attention to the environment C. doubled Mexicos wheat production per hectareD. found Ug99 in Uganda第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）选项中有两项为多余选项。As a parent you might never guess all the way a good imagination benefits your child.
