根据下面 ，回答 53 ~56 题：D
The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin. Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant. few believe that newspapers in their present printed form. will remain alive for long Newspaper complies are losing advertisers （广告商）, readers, market value. and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago The chief editor （主编） of the times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came. “An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”
Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past thee years The New York Times Company has seen its stock （股票） drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock The Washington Post Comply has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.

Investment Tips
By Scott Russell
Investing in stocks that are less than $5 per share is a good way to boost your stock portfolio. Many big investors ignore these stocks because of the potential risks involved, however, these stocks often grow significantly over the course of time. Investing in inexpensive stocks is a wise move, provided that you hold on to them for at least one year to allow enough time for them to develop.
Four stocks that I suggest for less than $5 per share are High Standard Pharmaceuticals Company, Nova Oil, Inc., Direct Access Publishing Group, and Peak Media Holdings. If you are new to the market, you might want to try investing in them through an online brokerage firm that does not charge a high commission for their services, and remember: only invest up to five percent of your entire stock portfolio in any stock, including these.

第14题：
Andrea Jung, the chairman and CEO of Avon, is sitting in her office on the 27th floor of Avon’s New York headquarters considering an obvious question: What does it mean to be the first woman to lead the beauty products company in its 115-year history?
"I guess it helps,' she says wryly(表情冷漠地)."You know, you go home and you try on a new mascara, and I guess a male CEO can't do that." She's joking, of course, but there's some truth to what she says.
Glamorous, poised and always impeccably (无瑕疵的) dressed, Jung knows what women want and how to sell it to them.That’s what has made her one of the most successful CEOs----male or female----in recent years.And that’s what placed her at number four in the ranking of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business, an annual survey by “Fortune.” The top on the list is Carly Fiorina, chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Pachard Company, a US computer hardware company.The oldest child of Chinese immigrants, Junggrew up speaking both English and Mandarin Chinese.She received a BA in English literature from Princeton University in 1979.After graduation, Jung joined themanagement trainee program at Bloomingdale’s (a world-renowned department store).She later joined I.Magnin (the premiere retail (零售) house in the US), in San Francisco, becoming senior vice president and general merchandise manager.In 1993 Jung became a consultant (顾问) for Avon, famous for selling beauty products door to door through sales representatives known as “Avon Ladies”.When Jung, now 43, took over Avon in November 1999, the company was in deep trouble.During the greatest economic boom in history, its stock was crumbling (崩溃).As fewer women wanted to go out onto the streets selling Avon products, its sales decreased.But Jung surprised a lot of people.Over the past 20 months she has overhauled (检查) nearly everything about the way Avon does business: How it advertises, manufactures, packages, and even how it sells its products.Most surprising, she has done it not by abandoning the seemingly outdated Avon Lady, but by reviving (使再流行) her.Under Jung, more Avon Ladies are signing up than ever before.6 Since Jung joined Avon, sales have risen by 30 per cent, profits by 40 per cent and the stock price has dramatically improved.And now, Avon is the second largest firm in the US headed by a woman, after Hewlett-Packard.
1.What is the truth to what Andrea Jung said?
A.A male CEO has not the ability to try on a new mascara.
B.A female CEO has to be more careful about her appearance.
C.A female CEO has to try on a new mascara each day.
D.When at home, a female CEO always tries on a new mascara
2.Which one is not true, according to the context?
A.The chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Pachard Company is a woman.
B.It seems that "Fortune" is the name of a magazine.
C.Andrea Jung is the chairman and CEO of a IB computer hardware company.
D.Avon is a beauty products company
3.What did Jung do after she graduated from Princeton University?
A.She became a trainer at Bloomingdale's.
B.She became a member of an American retail house.
C.She became president of an American retail house.
D.She became general manager of Bloomingdale's
4.What happened to Avon before Jung became CEO?
A.The stock price of Avon was Killing.
B.The sales volume increased dramatically.
C.Avon hired more women to sell its beauty products.
D.The stock price of Avon was rising
5.What measure did Jung take to make Avon a profit-making company?
A.She gave up Avon Lady that is no longer popular.
B.She did much research and obtained much information.
C.She employed more women as Avon Ladies
D.Both B) and C)

第15题：
It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petrol will go up dramatically if______.
A) price of crude rises
B) commodity prices rise
C) consumption rises
D) oil taxes rise
正确答案：D
答案：D
[试题分析]事实推理题。
[详细解答]题干要求考生从文章的信息中推论出其中的暗示，即“在什么情况下，汽油零售价格(retail price of petrol)会大幅上涨”。文章的第三段谈到，原油价格只占汽油零售价格的一小部分，其大部分(在欧洲高达五分之四)是税收，因此原油价格的变动对汽油价格(pump prices，这里借用pump的“汽油泵”的含义指代加油站零售的汽油)影响不大，影响汽油价格的主要因素是税收。所以汽油价格的条件是D选项"oil taxes rise" (石油税上涨)。A选项“price of crude rise8”(原油价格上涨)影响不大，B选项“commodity prices rise”(商品价格上涨)和C选项“consumption rises”(消费上涨)方面文中未提及。

第17题：
The soybean prices ended higher this Monday as traders expect supplies to remain tight
The actively traded July contract for soybeans rose 20 cents to settle at $14.85 a bushel.
The U.S government’s weekly prediction for soybean exports was higher than traders expected, said Mike Zulo, president of a consulting company in Atchison Kansas
Supplies for beans have been extraordinarily tight as China’s demand for soybean continues to increase even as U.S production stays relatively steady he said Soybean prices have risen 15 percent this year
“That U.S.D.A. number caused the trade to refocus on just how razor-thin supplies are heading in to next fall’s harvest” Zulo said
What can be inferred from the passage about next fall’s soybean harvest?A. It’s not worth noticing
B. It will rise 15 percent
C. It’s still uncertain
D. It will be razor-thin答案：D解析：推断题。根据文段最后一段“That U.S.D.A. number caused the trade to refocus on just how razor-thin supplies are heading in to next fall’s harvest”我们可以知道下一个丰收季就会关注更加紧张的供应。A项错误，文段最后一句提到refocus。B项提到的15percent是说今年大豆价格上涨了15%。文段说未来一定供应更加紧张，C项错误。因此答案选D。 -

判断题The cost of parking will rise dramatically in London from next week.A对
B错
正确答案： 错解析：
录音首句指出对于生活在像伦敦郊区Haringey（哈林盖）那样拥挤城市的人，有一件特别令人烦恼的事。那些二氧化碳排放量大的汽车车主的停车费将从一年25英镑涨到一年90英镑。因此题干与录音不符。
【录音原文】
One of the many little annoyances of life in a crowded city such as London suburb of Haringey will be particularly unhappy. Those who own cars with high carbon-dioxide emissions will see their parking charges rise almost fourfold, from￡25 a year to￡90. A similar plan was enacted in Richmond, a wealthy western fringe of the city, in March. There, the price of parking a dirty car rose threefold, with even stiffer penalties for those who own more than one vehicle.
