第二節(jié)：閱讀理解（共10小題；每小題4分，滿分40分）
Passage One
　　 Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect “saddle curl,” the Lay’s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker. Frito-Lay. Thinks otherwise.” Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.
　　 Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America. owned by PepsiCo. And accounts for over half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow. the company has to look overseas.
　　 Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones than consumes-especially young people-see as part of a modem, innovative(創(chuàng)新的)world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know than Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.
　　 With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(標識).The logo, along with the company’s long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips. would help facilitate the company’s global expansion.
　　 The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rater, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “We’re making products in those countries, we’re adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive.
21. It is the belief of Frito-Lay’s head of global marking that_____.
　　A) Potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world market
　　B) Their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales.
　　C) The light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chips
　　D) People the world over enjoy eating their company’s potato chips
22. What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?
　　A) Its products use to be popular among overseas consumers.
　　B) Its expansion has caused fierce competition in the snack marker.
　　C) It gives half of its annual profits to its parent company.
　　D) It needs to turn to the word market for development.
23. One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that_____.
　　A) consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands
　　B) local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands
　　C) products suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profits
　　D) products identified as American will have promising market value
24. Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?
　　A) To suit changing tastes of young consumers.
　　B) To promote the company’s strategy of globalization.
　　C) To change the company’s long-held marketing image.
　　D) To compete with other American chip producers.
25. Frito-Lay’s executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market_____.
　　A) won’t affect the eating habits of the local people
　　B) will lead to economic imperialism
　　C) will be in the interest of the local people
D) won’t spoil the taste of their chips

　　Passage Two
　　In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. “We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them because of this,” one parent sail. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will.”
　　Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent(有綜合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for then to solve this problem.
　　The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike Coffman.
　　Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll(工資單) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.
　　District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts its 38schools.
　　At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election., when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools.
　　In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.
　　Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.
　　“We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”
　　At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum(論壇). “Rumors about what’s happening to the district are moving at lighting speed,” said a student. “We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead.”
26. What has happened to the Vrain School District?
　　A) A huge financial problem has arisen.
　　B) Many schools there are mismanaged.
　　C) Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quit.
　　D) Many administrative personnel have been laid off.

　　D )To stop the voters approving the $212 million bong issue.
30. Three high school students started a website in order to__________.

第三節(jié)：翻譯（滿分30分）
??????? One of the really nice features about e-mails is that they allow us to send files as attachments to other users．This is a very good thing．If I’m working with a colleague and want to send him an image file or a word file，I can do so very quickly and easily，without having to fax it to him．This saves on long distance bills and printing costs．It also，however，presents a problem，because attachments can take a long time to download．For those of us who pay by the hour for Internet service，unwanted attachments can be quite costly and time-consuming．I once had someone send me fifteen large image files，and it tied up my computer for 20 minutes just to download one of them．So，in short，if you’re going to send an attachment，get permission first．

?????? 電子郵件真正的優(yōu)點之一就在于它允許我們以附件的形式給其他的用戶發(fā)送文件，這一點非常好。比如，我和一個同事一起工作的時候，我想發(fā)一份圖象文件或是文字文件給他，通過電子郵件就可以很方便很快捷地 搞定，而不必使用傳真。這就節(jié)省了長途費用和打印成本。但是，電子郵件也會帶來問題。因為附件的下載可能需要很長時間。對于我們這些按小時支付網(wǎng)費的人來說，多余的附件可能是相當耗費時間和金錢的。我曾經(jīng)接收過15個大的圖片文件，我的電腦竟用了20分鐘才載下來一個圖片。所以，簡言之，如果你要發(fā)附件給別人的話，事先一定要爭得對方的許可。
