| 第4题：When customers aren’t happy with your business, they usually won’t complain to you. (144) , they’ll probably complain to just about everyone else they know--and take their business to your competition next time. That’s why an increasing number of businesses are making follow-up calls or mailing satisfaction questionnaires after the sale is made. They find that if they promptly follow up and resolve a customer’s complaint, the customer might be even more (145) to do business than the average customer who didn’t have a complaint. In many business situations, the customer will have many more interactions after the sale with technical, service, or customer support people than he or she did with the sales people.

| 第14题：Introducing Stetson Village, the newest residential-commercial zone in the greaterCamden area! Phase 1 construction is nearly complete, which means it’s lime to reserve your spot in this unique live-and-shop neighborhood! As you can see in the map below, Stetson Village is divided into four triangular "blocks," each with its own dedicated purpose.Block 1 is where the nearly 500 new residents of the village will call home! This is where our 160 modern, fully equipped condominiums are located, offering a variety of floor plans from studios to four-bedroom, three-bath family units.Block 2 is where our retail provJclers will be locateD、We have already arranged forCamden Organic Grocery to open a new store here, and they will likely be joined by clothing boutiques, sports outfitters, electronic shops, and much more. Block 3 is where Stetson Village residents and others from the surrounding community will come to play—it’s the village park, complete with sports fields, jogging paths, a duck pond, and two playgrounds!And, perhaps most excitingly,Block 4 has been agreed on as the future site of the new WellsChildren’s Hospital. The result is a real "village" in the middle of the city. Once you’re here, you’ll never need to leave! Stetson Village is conveniently located on the Metro’s blue line and is within walking distance of two stops on bus routes 14 and 161. Join us for our Village Open House event onApril 2—both potential residents and retailers are welcome to stop by! To: info@camdenvillage.com From:Edgar Lee Subject: Village Open House Hello, I saw your advertisement in theCamdenCurrent this week. Stetson Village sounds like an amazing concept; if I didn’t already own a home in NorthCamden, I would seriously consider a condo in your community! For the past five years, I’ve been running my own law firm. It has grown faster than I expected, and we’ve taken on so many partners now that our offices in NorthCamden can no longer accommodate us.Even though it would mean a longer commute for me, Stetson Village would be an ideal place to relocate. I’m looking for a space of approximately 1,500 square feet that can be divided into several different offices for my partners and me. If you have something like this available, please let me know and I will attend the open house event to have a look. Thanks, Edgar Lee,Attorney at Law According to the advertisement, what has NOT been confirmed as a feature of Stetson VillageA、medical facility B、A、grocery chain C．A、clothing store D．A、leisure area |

| 第15题：New Plan for GalleryDesign Officials from theArizona state government announced that there will be an architecture design competition for the new Tucson ModernArt Gallery. The competition is the first stage of the construction of the gallery, and it is expected that the whole project will be finished by 2014. The gallery, which will be built on the site of the old town hall, is the focus of the state government’s push to make Tucson and the surrounding region a tourist center for arts and culture. Government officials are confident that the competition will attract a number of bold and innovative designs. They have invited architects from across the country and from overseas to participate.Architects will send a copy of the proposed design along with a letter explaining their concept. The competition closes onDecember 12 this year, after which a panel of experts will review the entries and pick a winner. The public’s opinion will also be taken into account, as all entries will be published on a website where people will be able to cast a vote for their favorite design. DesignCompetition SelectionCommittee Arizona State Government POBox 9817 Tucson,AZ Dear SelectionCommittee members, Thank you for the opportunity to enter this design contest. I think this is a bold and exciting move, and I’m sure you will end up commissioning a brilliant new gallery for Tucson. I can only hope you choose my entry among all the excellent designs you will surely receive. As a resident of Tucson, I feel I understand this region very well, which is why I think my design has an edge.As anyone living in Tucson knows, this region has an extremely hot and dry climate. What I want to do is provide a refreshing change from that environment.Accordingly, the main concept of my design is the idea of an ice cube. Using just light blue and white walls, and clear panels and windows, my design creates a fantastic visual appeal. From inside the lobby, gallery visitors will actually have the illusion of being inside a block of ice! I hope you can take the time to view this design in more detail. I’m sure you will agree that it is an impressive and interesting approach. Regards, Kelly Matthewson What most likely is enclosed in this letterA、design proposal B．A、company brochure C．A、resume D．An entry form |

| 第18题： When personal computers first began showing up in offices around the world, people believed that this business tool would lead to something called the "paperless office." This was hailed as a great advance in business practices. The "paperless office" theory went something like this: people would store their information on disks and computers instead of using file folders and paper.As a result, paper use would decrease. This was supposed to help preserve natural resources as well as reduce the world’s solid-waste disposal problem. In some ways this theory has played out in practice. In offices everywhere around the world, files and records are increasingly being stored electronically rather than on paper.But the prediction has not proven to be entirely true.Documents are often printed out in part or in their entirety in order to be reviewed or shared with others. Often multiple versions of a document go through the printout stage, thus actually increasing the use of paper for each document rather than reducing it. In addition, computers have made it easier to generate notices and flyers, of which people readily make multiple copies to distribute to as wide an audience as possible. In some ways, computers have made it easier than ever before to use large quantities of paper. So, while computers have reduced paper use in some areas, they have increased it in others. The issue of felling forests in order to manufacture paper and the question of how to dispose of so much solid waste still remain problematiC、 |
B、
B、Desktop publishing
C、The "paperless office"
D、World problems
