　　Directions：

　　In this part there are 4 passages followed by questions or unfinished statements， each with four suggested answers. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.

　　Questions 11 - 15 are base on the following passage：

　　Dollars and cents are the basic units of American money. The back of all dollar bills are green (hence “greenbacks”)。 The commonly used coins are： one cent (penny)， five cents (nickel)， 10 cents(dime)， and 25 cents (quarter)。 50 pieces (half dollar) and silver dollars (not really silver anymore) are gaining in usage， while there has been talk of phasing out the penny that‘s inflation for you. “Always carry plenty of quarters when traveling. Very useful for phones， soda machines， laundry machines， etc.”

　　It’s useful always to carry small change for things like exact fare buses， but do not carry large sums of cash. Instead keep the bulk of your money in travellers‘ cheques which can be purchased both in the US and abroad and should be in dollar denominations. The best known cheques are those of American Express， so you will have the least difficulty cashing these， even in out of the way places. Thomas Cook travellers’ cheques are also acceptable， especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies. Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There‘s no need to cash them at a bank： use them instead to pay for meals， supermarket purchases or whatever. Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you’ 11 be given change just as though you‘d presented the cashier with dollar bills. Be prepared to show I.D. when you cash your cheques.

　　Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers’ cheques， as they are often used to guarantee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car--indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too. The major credit cards are VISA， Master Charge and Access， Diners Club and American Express. If you hold a bank card， it could well be worthwhile to increase your credit limit for travel purposes--you should ask your bank manager.

　　Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage：

　　The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth， so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.

　　In the international market， goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances， they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations， we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market， what prices they are quoting (報(bào)價)， what features their products have， who are their regular customers， etc. Then， how can we obtain such information?

　　There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor‘s offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays， our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.

　　Certainly， face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information.
