Suppose that we lined up our roughly 14 million United States businesses in order of size, starting with the smallest, along an imaginary road from San Francisco to New York. There will be 4,500 businesses to the mile, or a little less than one per foot. Suppose further that we planted a flag each business. The height of the flag pole represents the yearly volume of sales (销量) , each $ 10, 000 in sales in shown by one foot of pole. The line of flagpoles is a very interesting sight. From San Francisco to about Reno, it is almost unnoticeable, a row of poles about a foot high. From Reno eastward the poles increase in height until, near Columbus, Ohio - about four - fifths of the way across the nation - flags fly about 10 feet in the air. But as we approach the eastern terminus (终点) , the poles suddenly begin to mount (升高) . There are about 300, 000 firms in the country with sales over $ 500, 000. These firms take up the last 75 miles of the 3,000 - mile road. There are 200, 000 firms with sales over $ 1 million. They take up the last 50 miles. Then there are 1, 000 firms with sales of $ 50, 000, 000 or more. They take up the last quarter of a mile before the city limits, flags flying at cloud height, 5 , 000 feet up . At the very gate of New York, on the last 100 feet of the last mile , we find the 100 largest industrial firms . They have sales of at least $ 1.5 billion, so that their flags are already miles high. Along the last 10 feet of road , there are 10 largest companies . Their sales are roughly $ 10 billion and up : their flags fly 190 miles in the air , almost in the stratosphere (平流层) . 小题1:What is the author’s main purpose in this passage? A．To tell the reason why the largest firms are in New York. B．To show the geographical distribution (分布) of the United States businesses. C．To provide a general idea of the size of businesses in the United States. D．To tell us how the United States businesses are arranged. 小题2:What’s the correct order of the following places from east to west? A．San Francisco, Reno, New York, Columbus. B．San Francisco, Reno, Columbus, New York. C．New York, Columbus, Reno, San Francisco D．New York, Reno, Columbus, San Francisco 小题3:Among the four parts of the imaginary road , which part , considering all the firms in it , has the largest total volume of sales ? A．The last 75 miles. B．The last 50 miles. C．The last 100 feet of the last mile. D．The last quarter of a mile 小题4:Which of the following diagrams (图表) shows the right order of size of the US businesses , according to the text ?

The strategic marketing planning process can roughly be divided into three stages
which are repeatedly performed in the course of organizational (or destination) lifetime for the purpose of monitoring the results of past strategic decisions under the given market conditions as well as deciding on future strategic orientation:information gathering,analysis and decision making.At the first stage,systematic internal and external analyses are conducted (including market research,competitive -,market environment - and self analysis) in order to determine the present situation.Second,this information is analyzed.A rich methodological toolbox for the analysis stage is available,typically aiming at the provision of a sound basis for the two central issues in strategic marketing:*market segmentation and product positioning.The complexity of the analysis stage results from the high level of interrelatedness of issues.The segmentation strategy is strongly dependent on the positioning
decision and vice versa.In addition,market information as well as the competitive situation influence both decisions.The aim of this stage is to identify and evaluate alternative strategic options on the basis of general market information,consumer information and organizational (destination) information.The leading principle is harmonization of consumer needs and organizational (or destination) strengths.Marketing engineering and management science
have gained importance at this stage during the last decades and represent a major factor of competitive advantage in times of increasing competition in the marketplace for leisure and outdoor recreation.Finally,in the third and last stage of the strategic marketing process,decisions have to be made about which strategy will be followed in terms of target segment selection,brand / destination positioning and in the mind of the consumers and competition.The specification of the mission statement is part of this stage as well,but typically not questioned and modified at the same frequency as the remaining strategic components.
The guidelines emerging from the strategic marketing process represent the starting point for operational marketing action:products or services are designed or modified,distribution channels are chosen,pricing decisions are optimized to fit and both advertising messages and channels are customized to target segments.
Strategic marketing thus represents an essential answer to a competitive,
demandoriented business environment increasingly characterized by rapid and unpredictable changes.

the period of middle english extends roughly from the twelfth century through the fifteenth.the influence of french (and latin,often by way of french) upon the vocabulary continued throughout this period,the loss of some inflections and the reduction of others accelerated,and many changes took place within the grammatical systems of the language.a typical prose passage,especially one from the later part of the period,will not have such a foreign look to us as the prose of old english,but is will not be mistaken for contemporary writing either.
the period of modern english extends from the sixteenth century to our own day.the early part of this period saw the completion of a *** in vowel distribution that had begun in late middle english and that effectively brought the language to something resembling its present pattern.other important early developments include the stabilizing effect on spelling of the printing press and the beginning of the direct influence of latin,and,to a lesser extent,greek on the vocabulary.later,as english came into contact with other cultures around the world and distinctive dialects of english developed in the many areas which britain had colonized,numerous other languages made small but interesting contributions to our word-stock.
3)it can be inferred from the passage that today_
a)a person can pronounce old english words but cannot understand them
b)an educated person can understand old english but cannot pronounce it

It’s roughly 1.6km north of the township at the southern entrance to Queen Elizabeth Park,a mere 200m from the beach.

C Recently scientists have worked out a way to judge roughly where a person has lived using strands(缕) of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified bodies . The method depends on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people’s hair. While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as clouds move. Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable , but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素) . The heaviest raid（列阵）falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah. Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can establish a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months. Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a frame of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops. They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of raid systems. “It’s not good for pinpointing (精确定位),” he said. “It’s good for ruling out many possibilities.” 64. What can we learn from the passage about the latest discovery? A. One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink. B. A person’s hair may reveal where they have lived. C. Hair analysis identifies criminal suspects accurately. D. The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person. 65. What does the underlined word “identical” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. similar B. fantastic C. beneficial D. healthy 66. What is the practical value of Cerling’s research? A. It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions. B. It helps the police determine where a crime is committed. C. It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work. D. It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.

It occupies a roughly circular basin and covers an area of about 14090000km.Nearly landlocked,the ocean is surrounded by the land messes of Europe,Asia.North American ,and Greenland and a number of islands,as well as by the Barents,Beaufort,Chukchi,Kara,Laptev,East Seberian,Lincoln,Wandel,Greenland,and Norwegian seas.It is connected to the Pacific Ocean by the Bering Strait and to the Atlantic Ocean through the Greenland Sea.An underwater ocean ridge,the lomonosov ridge,divides the Arctic Ocean into two basin:the Eurasia,or Nansen,Basin,which is between4000and4500m deep,and the North American,or Hyperborean,Basin,which is about 4000mdeep.The topography of the ocean bottom is marked by fault-block ridges,plains of the abyssal zone,ocean deeps,and basins.The average depth of the Arctic Ocean is 1038m,in part due to the large extent of continental shelf extant on the Eurasian side.
The greatest inflow of water comes from the Atlantic by way of the Norwegian Current,which then flows along the Eurasian coast.Water also enters from the pacific via the Bering Strait .The East Greenland Current carries the major outflow .Temperature and salinity vary seasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes .Ice covers most of the ocean surface year-round.causing subfreezing temperatures much of the time.The Arctic is major source of very cold air that inevitably moves toward the equator,meeting with warmer air in the middle latitudes and causing rain and snow.Little marine life exists where the ocean surface is covered with ice throughout the year.Marine life abounds in open areas,especially the more southerly water.The ocean’s major ports are the Russian cities of Murmansk and Arkhangelsk (Archangel).The Arctic Ocean is important as shortest air route between the Pacific coast of North America and Europe overflies it.

Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand (缕) of hair,a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims.
The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people’s hair.
“You’re what you eat and drink,and that’s recorded in your hair,” said Thure Ceiling,a geologist at the University of Utah.
While U.S.diet is relatively identical,water supplies vary.The differences result from weather patterns.The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move.
Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable,but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素).The heaviest rain falls first.As a result,storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.
Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S.By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair,scientists can construct a geographic timeline.Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.
Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional differences.They checked the accuracy or the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.
They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems.
“It’s not good for pinpointing (精确定位),” Ceding said.“It’s good for eliminating many possibilities.”
Todd Park,a local detective,said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.
The woman was 5 feet tall.Police recovered 26 bones,a T-shirt and several strands of hair.
When Park heard about the research,he gave the hair samples to the researchers.Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death,she moved about every two months.
She stayed in the Northwest,although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.
“It’s still a substantial area,” Park said.“But it narrows it way down for me.”
