Ⅱ.Reading Comprehension 30%

Directions:There are three passages in this part, Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the BEST ONE.

Passage 1

When a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records

that might help, at the store of buying. 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 consumer�餾 favour taking it as true that he or she has a just right.

Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, 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 show clearly what is wrong with what was bought 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 does not work.”

The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, setting 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. He or she can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers�� rights.

Passage 2

Goal chances came and goal chances went. But two of the world�餾 highest�瞨anked teams—with some of highest�瞤aid football players—couldn�餿 get the ball into the net. And they were playing against sides that only just made it to the World Cup.

With two defeats, one draw and no goals, France collected its newest title since rising to the top of the game four years ago: The worst defending champion in World Cup history.

“I�餸 very disappointed, and it�餾 the end of a beautiful story,”said a French striker David Trezeguet. “The story began in 1998 and ended today against Denmark.”

France won the 2000 European Championships and was ranked the best team on the planet before the World Cup.

Besides the goalposts and crossbars seeming to be against this unlucky team, France�餾 game plan has been the same for four years so opponents know it by heart.

Senegal, an African team playing in its first World Cup, surprised everyone by beating France in the World Cup opening match before entering the second round successfully. Uruguay and Denmark followed a similar strategy to stop France, creating a defensive barrier and launching many counter�瞐ttacks.

Following France,Argentina became the second big�瞡ame to take an early plane home from this year�餾 World Cup.

The South Americans were expected to become world champions for a third time. This was particularly because of an inpressive display when they lost just one of their 18 qualifying matches.

The team�餾 1-0 loss to England on June 7 was the beginning of a nightmare for the players. But even after this surprising defeat, they never thought that they would be going home so soon.

But a 1-1 draw in Argentina�餾 final group match against Sweden made the unexpected a reality.
