【正確答案:C】
細節題。文章的最后也給經歷了不愉快消費體驗的客戶建議,filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining這里要重點區分instead of前后內容的根本區別,鑒于這個詞組表達出的否定轉折含義,自然可以了解作者是鼓勵客戶向商家直接投訴,而不是四處抱怨。所以答案是C. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly. 其他三個選項有的是對原文某些細節的篡改,有的是根據常識的其他做法,均不符合題意。

- 4 【英譯漢】 Is organic food better for you than the standard fare in grocery stores? New study suggests shoppers pay more for no nutritional benefit. Phil Reay Smith has the results of one new study that might surprise you. The stores offer an array of fresh and delicious looking food, but shoppers who fund the £21 billion annual market in organic produces might find the Food Standard Agency's new study leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. The study appears clear enough. It claims there is little if any nutritional difference between organic and conventionally produced food and no evidence of any additional health benefit from eating it. The FSA say the findings are intended to help people make an informed choice but they also call into question the higher price of organic food. On the other hand, people in the organic food industry, like AI Overton, believe it's that lack of pesticides and better reputation of animal welfare that will keep customers coming.
- 5 【英譯漢】 Almost invariably the better looking the person in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed form Sappho, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good. In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females, can be tremendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. On another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire(追求)to managerial positions do not get on as well as women who may be less attractive.
