Questions 1~5

Supermarket group Tesco, no the biggest retailer in the UK, rang up its first 1bn profit last year and yesterday claimed to be the fastest growing major retailer in the world. The 700-strong chain, once regarded as a down market pile-it-high-and-sell-it-cheap business, is raking in sales of nearly ￡23bn a year and producing a profit of ￡3m a day. Only one UK retailer – Marks & Spencer –has ever breached the ￡1bn barrier before and M&S has since suffered an about-turn in its fortunes. It made only ￡430m last year.

Despite criticism from consumer groups and some farmers’ representatives, Tesco, which now accounts for ￡25 of every ￡100 spent on groceries in the UK, insisted it was not making excessive profits. Chief executive Terry Leahy said the chain was making only just over ￡3 profit from every ￡100 purchase and deputy chairman David Reid said the growth had been driven by “better service, quality and value for money”.

The supermarket has also benefited from the lackluster performance of some of its rivals, especially Sainsury. Until 1995 Sainsbury was bigger than Tesco, but it last reported profits were barely half Tesco’s ￡1bn. Safeway, which made ￡236m last year, is turning itself into a new breed of amall-scale hypermarket while Asda, with ￡330m profit last year, appears to have lost some of its momentum since its takeover by the American al-Mart discount chain. Tesco’s ￡1.05bn profit, which was generated in the year to the end of February, is 12% up on last year. Sales were up 11.9%.

Earlier this year – in the wake of a two-year competition commission inquiry which cleared the supermarkets of making excessive profits – Tony Blair accused the supermarkets of having shoppers in “an armlock”, but Tesco denied its profits and success were being driven by squeezing

suppliers. It said it had cut prices by ￡1bn over the past five years and that its price were now 11% lower than it 1996.

A spokesman for the company said: “Our profits have been growing in line with sales for a number of years. In other words, it is not margin expansion, or any rip-off, that is driving the profit growth”. “And in as much as farmers are experiencing tough times, why blame it on the supermarkets? Other macro factors are more important. Farm profits are extremely cyclical and in recent years the strong pound and the travails associated with BSE have been the main issues.”

But a spokeswoman for the National Consumer Protection Council said: “It is high time Tesco cut their price more and gave the customers more benefit from their profits”, while Michael Hart, of the Small And Family Farms Alliance, accused the supermarkets of being a “new food baronial class”. The Liberal Democrats’agriculture spokesman, Colin Breed, called for the appointment of a retail regulator “who would not be in the pockets of the supermarkets”

But the national Farmers’Union, while admitting that some of its members would find the earnings “hard to comprehend”, backed the company. Spokeswoman Helen Lo said farmers hit by crises like BSE and foot and mouth should work with the big grocers, rather than “age a war” on them. She said: “I think the way forward is to get farmers to muscle together to make a better profit for themselves, and they should look at efficiencies of operations.”

Tesco is driving its growth through international expansion, and now operates 65 hypermarkets abroad, mostly in central Europe and Asia. Sales at those stores climbed to nearly ￡3bn last year and they produced profits of ￡74m. At home, the group last year sold ￡45m of DVD players and TV, extended its clothing range and put 8,000 new non food products on its shelves.

Mr. Leahy outlines plans to spend ￡1bn opening more Tesco outlets in the UK this year. He intends to double both the number of Tesco Express stores on Esso forecourt to 100 and the number of Tesco Extra hypermarkets to around 45. The expansion plans are expected to create 20,000 new jobs –half in the UK –meaning Tesco’s world wide payroll will rise to 260,000. The Tesco com grocery home delivery business also brings in profits. The online grocer is now the biggest e-tailer in the world. Its 1m registered users and 70,000 weekly shoppers spend ￡6m a week.

1. This passage is mainly about ________.

(A) a comparison of supermarket groups in Britain

(B) criticism of supermarkets from consumer groups

(C) Tesco’s growth through international expansion

(D) Tesco’s first ￡1bn profit growth and its consequent responses

2. Which of the following shows the right order of supermarkets according to the profits they made last year?

(A) Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury, Safeway, Asda, Tesco

(B) Tesco, Sainsbury, Marks & Spencer, Asda, Safeway

(C) Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury, Safeway, Marks & Spencer

(D) Safeway, Sainsbury, Tesco, Asda, Marks & Spencer

3. Which of the following parties or organizations sympathizes with Tesco?

(A) The Liberal Democrats

(B) The National Consumer Protection Council

(C) The National Farmers’ Union

(D) The Labour Party

4. The expression “in the pockets of”from the sentence “The Liberal Democrats’agriculture spokesman, Colin Breed, called for the appointment of a retail regulator ‘who would not be in the pockets of the supermarkets’.”(para. 6) can be replaced by ________.

(A) in line with

(B) in the control of

(C) in support of

Questions 6~10

It is a very peculiar planning inquiry. On one side are Michael Howard, Spike Milligan, Joann Lumley and Shepway district council. On the other is

English Nature. At stake are the fate of rare butterflies and orchids, and the civic pride of Folkestone.

The proposal to create a giant white horse on a grassy chalk hill overlooking the entrance to the channel tunnel has inflamed such passion that the Department of Environment deemed an inquiry was necessary. It is due to end tomorrow, although the wrangling seems certain to continue.

What began as a millennium art project has become a highly charged symbol of the town’s future. Its supporters –who include Milligan and Lumley, both friends of the artist behind the scheme – say it will regenerate the resort. The council believes the 100m long galloping horse will brand Folkestone as an energetic town, attracting visitors and giving pleasure and pride to residents fro generations to come.

Its detractors call the scheme a folly which will despoil a precious resource while doing little to tackle the area’s underlying problems. English Nature argues that Cheriton Hill itself is a greater treasure than anything which could be created there. Rare abonis blue butterflies ad spider orchids have made the chalk escarpment their home; it is a site of special scientific interest and a candidate special area of conservation.

“We don’t disagree with the need for economic regeneration, but there is no need to damage and destroy a site of national and international wildlife importance in the process,” said Teresa Bennett, acting team manager for the body’s Kent branch. he fears that creating and maintaining the horse would damage the area and attract tourists who could endanger the vulnerable wildlife.

But supporter dismiss English Nature’s calls for them to choose a different location. “The site is pretty much the last view you have of England as you leave through the Channel tunnel and the first view you have as you arrive,”Mr. Hoard, MP for Folkestone and Hythe and a former environment minister and home secretary, told the hearing yesterday.

Arguing that the potential for ecological damage had been”vastly exaggerated”, he added: “The economy of Folkestone could be transformed if only a small proportion if the large numbers of people ho leave or enter the country through the tunnel were to stop to enjoy the area’s attractions. “Despite all the efforts people have made we have so far made disappointing progress in attracting people to stay.” His conviction may have been fostered by a recent visitor from America, who spotted designs for the horse on a website and came to Folkestone believing it already existed.

Charles Newington, the proposed artist, says he was taken aback by the support for

his design. “It’s become important as an issue because the people of Folkestone ant it,” he said. “You can call it a lucky charm, a talisman an icon.. I didn’t see it as a way of regenerating the area when I started, but that’s hat it’s become.”

There are around 17 chalk horses in the UK and the practice of cutting the even has its own name, leucippotomy. The best known, at Uffington in Berkshire, probably dates from between 1,4000 and 600 BC, although most were created in the lat three centuries. Rather than carve a horse, Folkestone volunteers will fix panels into the soil to reduce damage from erosion and make maintenance easy. Mr. Newington estimates that it will cost around ￡4,000 which he believes will be easily raised through donations.

John Prescott, the environment secretary, will read the inquiry’s recommendations and approve or reject the scheme within the next six months.

Should he turn it don, Richard Bougie, who farms Cheriton Hill and is the scheme’s foremost advocate, has warned tat they may go all the ay to the European courts, albeit with misgivings. “You know what they do to horse in Brusels, don’t you?” he asked the planning inspector. “They eat them.”

6. It can be concluded from the passage that the focus of the argument is _______.

(A) how to preserve the wildlife in nFolkestone

(B) how to attract overseas tourists to Folkestone

(C) whether the giant galloping horse should be built near the Channel tunnel

(D) whether ecological damage can be avoided if the horse I created on Cheriton Hill

7. The proposal to build a 100m galloping horse near the entrance to the channel tunnel is warmly welcomed by the local people. The reason is that _______.

(A) it will be the largest of all chalk horses in the UK

(B) it will be a grand symbol of Folkestone’ culture

(C) it will improve the habitat fro wildlife on Cheriton Hill

(D) it will enhance the publicity of Folkestone and stimulate its tourism

8. According to Charles Newignton, the designer of the giant white horse, _______.

(A) the building of the hite horse has only artistic value

(B) the public response to the white horse project is beyond his expectation

A recent report from the Center for American Progress found that middle-class families are feeling an unprecedented economic squeeze - caught between stagnating wages and the exploding cost of basics like housing, health care and children's education. Most families, it seems, are getting by on less and living closer to the financial edge to help their kids grow up healthy and get ahead. 第二段开篇以设问形式点出文章主体：为什么迫于经济压力，很多美国家庭无法生儿育女?答案的关键词在于“caught between stagnating wages and the exploding cost of basics” The most striking growth in costs to families has been in child care, where expenses have climbed about $200 annually in each of the last dozen years, with nearly tenfold growth since the 1960s. Child care, on average, consumes $1 of every $5 in a family's budget and exceeds the typical rent in every state. 本段以细节形式点出抚养儿女的成本增加之快。 In terms of their kids' health, families increasingly have to choose between treating their children's medical needs and paying household bills. Despite gains in the percentage of children with health insurance, per capita medical spending
