【答案】第1題:D

第2題:A

第3題:B

第4題:D

第5題:C

【解析】1.主旨大意題。本文開頭“Everycountryandculture,whetherit’sasancientasIndiaorasyoungastheCzechRepublic,hasahistorythatwillgreatlyaffectboththemarketandthemarketer.每個國家和文化，無論是像印度一樣古老還是像捷克共和國一樣年輕，都有一段對市場和營銷人員都有巨大影響的歷史。并且文中列舉了兩個例子來論證一個國家的文化或歷史會影響市場。故D項正確。

2.細節事實題。由第一段“Understandingthathistorywillenableamarketertoapproachthecultureinamoresubtlemanner,anditwillcertainlycauseanadjustmentofschedule.了解歷史可以使營銷人員以一種更微妙的方式接近文化，這肯定會導致對日程表的調整?！笨芍倘肆私庖粋€國家的文化或歷史很重要。故A項正確。

3.推理判斷題。由第二段“Marketersmaybringtheirownbusinesstotheprocessandshouldtakecaretoseparatethemselves,atleastemotionally,fromtheirpersonalandculturalhistory.營銷人員可能會把他們自己的業務帶入到這個過程中，他們應該注意把自己與他們的個人和文化歷史分開，至少在情感上是這樣?！笨芍狟項“市場營銷人員應該把自己與個人和文化歷史分開?！闭_。

4.推理判斷題。由第三段“However,thisjoydoesn’tpreventSouthAfricacompaniesfromtakingadvantageofcounterparts’guiltfeelingswhenit’stimetocutadeal.然而，這種喜悅并不能阻止南非公司在談判時利用對手的內疚感?！笨芍狣項“南非的公司利用了他們對手的負罪感”正確。

5.推理判斷題。由最后一段“Onthepoliticalfront,therelationship,betweenVietnamandtheUnitedStatesisaprimeexampleoftwosetsofmarketersmisinterpretingeachother’shistoryandculturewhenitcametimetodobusiness.在政治方面，越南和美國之間的關系就是一個典型的例子，兩國商人在做生意的時候會誤解對方的歷史和文化?！币约啊癟heVietnameseassumedthatAmericanbusinesscommunitywouldheapinvestmentonthemtomakeupforpastwrong,越南人認為美國商界會向他們大量投資，以彌補過去的錯誤，”可知ABD三項均正確，C項“越南和美國的關系是一個忘記過去的好例子。”與原文不符，越南和美國的關系是由于雙方商人對于對方的歷史和文化的誤解。故答案C。

3.單選題

“JimmywantstostayupandwatchanoldmovieonTV.”“Teno’clockis（）foraboyofhisagetostayup.”

問題1選項

A.atoolatehour

B.toolateanhour

C.verymuchlateanhour

D.asolatehour

【答案】B

【解析】考查固定搭配。toolateforsb.todosth是固定搭配，表示“對某人來說做什么事太晚了”。句意：吉米想要熬夜看電視上的一部老電影。十點鐘對他這個年齡的孩子來說太晚了。其中anhour是Teno’clock的定語，不可將其分開，用來修飾10點鐘這個特定的時間段。同理可排除AD。C選項中的verymuch不能用來修飾late。選B。

8.【試題答案】C

【答案】56.F

57.D

58.C

59.G

60.B

【解析】56.定位到第一段Itturnsoutwe’restillbeingmanipulatedbymarketers.Whatyoushouldknowabouttheirtactics:（事實證明，我們仍然在被營銷人員所操縱。關于他們的戰術你應該知道的是：）由此可知下面所述內容均為營銷人員的戰術。56題根據后一句的Theseso-calledcharmpricesmakeusthinktheyreflectgooddeals.（這些所謂的魅力價格讓我們認為它們反映了劃算的交易。）由these指示代詞可知，56題的句子中應該包含有多個價格，而有prices的選項只有F“不要受以9.99或者95結尾的價格所迷惑”，因此F選項正確，符合題意。

57.第二段單獨成行，為的是總結上一段內容，第一段結尾Thus“Originally$20,now$15”willtemptyoumorethan“Originally$20,now$13.99”，eventhoughthelattersavesyoumore.（因此，“最初的20美元，現在的15美元”比“最初的20美元，現在的13.99美元”更吸引你，盡管后者能幫你節省更多。）以及空格后的一句Notonlyaretheyloadedwithcharm-priced.（它們不僅充滿魅力）可知除了看促銷價格外，更應該注重原價，因此D選項“請注意原價”正確，符合題意。

58.根據該段落的最后一句they’rewillingtospendmoreiftheydon’thavetoactuallydoleoutthoseportionsthemselves.（如果他們不需要自己動手分成小份，他們愿意花更多的錢。）可以推理出許多食品零售商已經開始出售迷你零食，雖然價格很難讓它們物有所值，但是那些懶得動手的消費者仍會花更多的錢購買。因此C選項“如果你是一個懶惰的購物者，你可能要支付額外的費用”正確，很好地總結了該段的內容。故選C。

59.根據空格后的一句AccordingtoaCornellUniversitystudyquotedatcbsmoneywatchcom.,dinersspentmuchlesswhenmenususedtheworddollarsorthedollarsignthanwhenonlynumeralswereusedtoindicateprice.（網站引用了康奈爾大學的一項研究。在美國，當菜單上使用美元或美元符號時，用餐者花費的錢要比只使用數字表示價格時少得多。）由此可知本段的主要信息為美元或者是美元符號的缺失，會顯得更加優惠。因此概括項內應該將dollar或者dollarsign體現出來。因此G選項“請注意缺少的美元符號”正確，符合題意。故選G。

60.根據空格后一句Ifyouuseastoreloyaltycard,yourbuyinghabitsarebeingrecordedandoftenusedtolureyoutobuymore.（如果你使用商店會員卡，你的購買習慣就會被記錄下來，經常被用來引誘你買更多的東西。）以及retailersthesedaysaresuccessfullytrickingconsumersintospendingmorebydeterminingtheirspending“sweetspot”,basedonpreviouspurchases.（現在的零售商通過根據以往的購買情況來確定他們的消費“甜蜜點”，成功地誘使消費者增加支出。）由此可知，在大數據時代，你的每一筆消費會受到分析，從而讓你看到心動的物品或者以心動價立即購買。因此本段的主旨是想讓消費者知道這些推薦之所以會推送出來的原因。因此B選項“知道你被跟蹤了”正確，符合題意。故選B。
