13、mansworth, West Sussex.Middx. 25th February高考學(xué)習(xí)網(wǎng) Sir,Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be

14、a remarkable price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeares plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set o

15、f the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of

16、novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the bo

17、oks that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds , and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe,

18、 the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the boo

19、ks that you have sent me.Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid. Yours faithfully, SIMON WALKER26.

24、 D. humorBI cant remember a winter being as cold as this in Pennsylvania, but Im sure there were colder days.Even though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute, its easy to find an excuse not to go out unless you absolutely must, but then again I often have to push myself to accompli

25、sh things.People I speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moods.

26、Ricky and Lucy. They have a routine they must go through to find just the fighting spot no matter how cold or hot it is.So I wait.But this time it was different. As cold as it was, I suddenly was excited thinking about how wonderful this extreme cold really was.Then the sun broke through the clouds

27、and memories of summers extremely hot days flashed through my mind. I could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon, with sweat pouring down my brow and the hot, burning sun against my face.

28、teful for the extremes. Without the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate the days when things were just right.

33、ght their only experience of the London 2012 Olympic Games would be minor heats of synchronized swimming （花樣游泳） have received an unexpected change to the mens 100m final because of an embarrassing ticketing mistake.The London 2012 Organizing Committee （Locog） confirmed on Wednesday that an error in

34、its ticket selling had led to four synchronized swimming competitions being oversold by 10, 000 tickets.Locog and its ticket agent spent the Christmas period contacting ticket holders and offering them alternatives that included the tickets they had applied for but unsuccessful. The changes need no

35、additional cost. It has also offered to return any discrepancy （差額） if the new tickets cost less than the originals. Locog said the replacement tickets would come from a number of unsold seats across the Olympic Games and that it was doing all it could to make up the error to the fans who bought tic

36、kets.Locog said the error occurred in the summer, between the first and second round of ticket sales, when a member of staff made a mistake, entering “20,000” into the computer rather than the correct figure of 10,000 remaining tickets. The error was discovered when Locog checked the number of ticke

37、ts that had been sold against the final seating numbers, and began contacting ticket holders before Christmas.Thousands of ticket holders have already struck lucky, changing to tickets for major events including swimming and athletics finals, and in around 200 cases the hottest of all, the mens 100m

38、 final. Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the synchronized swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event, August 5.36.

42、d swimming is 10,000.DIn the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share. It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a

43、 number of researchers, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly tell tales of worse to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal. New challenges for custo

44、mer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage” caused by delays in answering calls, being c

45、ut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods. “Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr, Storey, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relati

46、onship with them. The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust them the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.” Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying

47、 that a repair will be carried out within five hours, but getting it done within two); replacing a faulty product immediately; throwing in a gift coupon as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints. Airlines face some of the toughest ch

48、allenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems. For British Airways staff, a winning telephone styl

49、e is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. The Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service. Customer care is obviously h

50、ere to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as “we do as we please”. On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment. 41. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _. A. complaining customers are hard to satisfy B. unsatisfied customers re

51、ceive better service C. satisfied customers catch more attention D. well-treated customers promote business 42. The writer mentions “phone rage” (Paragraph 3) to show that _. A. customers often use phones to express their anger B. people still prefer to buy goods online C. customer care becomes more

52、 demanding D. customers rely on their phones to obtain services 43. What does the writer recommend to create customer delight? A. Calling customers regularly. B. Giving a “thank you” note.C. Delivering a quicker service. D. Promising more gifts.44. Customer delight is important for airlines because

53、_. A. their telephone style remains unchanged B. they are more likely to meet with complaints C. the services cost them a lot of money D. the policies can be applied to their staff 45. Which of the following is conveyed in this article? A. Face-to face service creates comfortable feelings among cust

54、omers. B. Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers. C. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market. D. Customer delight is more important for air lines than for banks.第二節(jié) 信息匹配（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）閱讀下列應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡上將對(duì)應(yīng)題號(hào)的相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)字母涂黑。下面是一些CD的簡(jiǎn)要內(nèi)容。請(qǐng)把相
