【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。The Iron Lady
Margaret Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady, was one of the toughest political women in the world.
As the daughter of a businessman and mayor of Grantham, Margaret was educated at a very famous grammar school. Upon graduation, she worked for four years as a research chemist. She then became a lawyer, doing an excellent job in taxation law, in 1954. Miss Margaret stood twice in elections for the Conservative Party before being elected to the House of Commons(下議院) in 1959. After that she quickly became a spokesman for her party, and member of the Shadow Cabinet(影子內(nèi)閣).
Thatcher spent quite a lot of time visiting schools and universities, who encouraged people to be creative. After the Conservatives lost power in 1974, she was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet. She was elected leader of the Conservative Party in the following year. In May 1979, she became Britain's first female prime minister, after the Conservatives regained power from Labor.
She fought against labor organizations. According to a figure reported by her government, traditional industries were reduced to around 15,000 in total and she also made social housing and public transport private.
She left office on November 28, 1990 after she failed to carry out a fixed rate local tax, which led to huge popular protest from within her party. In 1992, she was appointed to the House of Lords(上議院), as Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven. In the last few years of her life, she has been busy with writing and public speech. This caused her increasingly poor health.
A. She got a degree in chemistry at Oxford University.
B. Also she built strong association with US President Reagan.
C. In June 1970, she became secretary of state for education and science.
D. In power, she was best known for her reducing Britain's traditional industries.
E. Therefore, she had to give up many chances of attending public activities.
F. Thatcher was appointed as a Minister in 1961.
G. Thatcher was well-known as a female leader.

【答案】A；F；C；D；E
【解析】本文對(duì)Margaret Thatcher的生平進(jìn)行了簡(jiǎn)單的介紹。

①根據(jù)后文Upon graduation, she worked for four years as a research chemist. 可推知，前一空格是講她在牛津大學(xué)獲得了化學(xué)學(xué)位，故選A。

②根據(jù)后文After that she quickly became a spokesman for her party, and member of the Shadow Cabinet(影子內(nèi)閣). 可推知，前一句是講Thatcher被任命為部長(zhǎng)，故選F。

③根據(jù)Thatcher spent quite a lot of time visiting schools and universities, who encouraged people to be creative. 可推知，前一句是說她成為國(guó)家教育科學(xué)部的部長(zhǎng)，所以才會(huì)有后面頻繁訪問學(xué)校和大學(xué)的活動(dòng)。故選C。

④根據(jù)后文According to a figure reported by her government, traditional industries were reduced to around 15,000 in total and she also made social housing and public transport private. 可知，她當(dāng)權(quán)時(shí)，最出名的就是減少了英國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)工業(yè)和推行私有化，故D項(xiàng)概括本文主要內(nèi)容，符合語境，本段其他內(nèi)容是對(duì)D項(xiàng)的進(jìn)一步說明。故選D。

⑤根據(jù)In the last few years of her life, she has been busy with writing and public speech. This caused her increasingly poor health. 可知，她忙于寫作和公共演講使得她的身體健康狀況越來越差，因此她不得不放棄許多參加公共活動(dòng)的機(jī)會(huì)。E項(xiàng)是前面她的活動(dòng)的自然結(jié)果，故選E。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的理解，選擇正確答案。 In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women's shoe section is generally next to the women's cosmetics(化妝品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses, stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
（1）According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A.Opening the store early in the morning.
B.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
C.Inviting customers to play music.
D.Displaying British wines next to French ones.
（2）What is the California builder's story intended to prove?
A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B.A good first impression increases sales.
C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.
D.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
（3）what is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To report researches on customer behavior.
B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers
D.To show dishonest business practices.
