　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　In 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 or order to keep and increase market share.

　　It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people: those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.

　　New challenges for customer 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(投資)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 cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.

　　“Many people do not like talking to machines，”says Dr. Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketng at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them. The aim is to make the customers feel they know you and that you can trust—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 that a repair will be camed out within five hours，but getting it done within two)；replacing a faulty product immediately: throwing in a gift voucher(購物禮卷)as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls，even when they are complaints.

　　Aiming for customer delight is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example，“I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement, compensation or whatever fairness suggests best meets the case)．

　　Airlines face some of the toughest challenges 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 style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly，with their name, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.

　　British 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 here 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.

　　36．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that________.

　　A．complaining customers are hard to satisfy

　　B．unsatisfied customers receive better service

　　C．satisfied customers catch more attention

　　D．well-treated customers promote business

　　37．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 attention

　　D．customers rely on their phones to obtain services

　　38. What does the writer recommend to create delight?

　　A．Calling customers regularly.

　　B．Giving a “thank you” note.

　　C．Delivering a quicker service.

　　D．Promising more gifts.

　　39．If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph 6), what would he

　　probably say?

　　A．“I know how upset you must be.”

　　B．“I appreciate your understanding.”

　　C．“I'm sorry for the delay.”

　　D．“I know it's our fault.”

　　40．Customer delight is important for airlines because ________.

　　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

　　41．Which of the following is conveyed in this article?

　　A．Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.

　　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 airlines than for banks.

　　Ⅰ.1.A　本題考查交際用語。根據答語中的I might have to work可以判斷回答者不一定參加湯姆的生日聚會。It depends意為“這得看情況”，符合句意。B項表示感謝；C項意為“聽起來不錯”；D項意為“不用謝”。

　　2．B　考查倍數的表達方式。此處用到了as…as…結構，倍數位于前一個as之前，故選B。其余選項與題意不符。

　　6．C　考查主語從句。語境為：年輕人通過媒體聽到的和看到的事情幫助他們了解周圍的世界是如何運轉的。“young people see and hear in the media”中動詞see和hear缺少賓語，因此空白處應填What。

　　9．A　考查定語從句。句意為：中國新的食品法規定了食品召回制度，即如果食品達不到標準，生產者就必須停止生產。先行詞為a food recall system，定語從句為producers have to stop production if their food isn't up to standards(in the food recall system)，故選A。

　　10．B　do harm to sb/sth為固定短語，意為“對……有害”，且“the modern farming…countryside”為定語從句修飾harm。故選B。

　　11．A　考查主語從句。句意：兩個國家的和平談判要走向何方至今還不知道。It為形式主語，where the peace talk between the two countries is going to lead為主語從句，在主語從句中，有主語、謂語，where作狀語。故選A項。

　　12．B　考查名詞性從句。what引導一個主語從句，并在從句中作offer的賓語(構成offer sth. to sb結構)。句意為：巴巴拉·瓊斯提供給她的粉絲的是誠實和快樂。

　　13．D　考查交際用語。根據對話中的Me，too可知，答話人與對方的看法一致，認為對方的想法很好。

　　14．C　句意為：在協議簽署前的幾年里村民們經常相互間發生猛烈的沖突。violent “猛烈的”；violent clashes “猛烈的沖撞/沖突”；reach an agreement “達成協議”。

　　15．A　句意：兩國高層領導人之間的會談在友好的氣氛中進行。atmosphere “氣氛”；state “狀態”；situation “處境”；phenomenon “現象”，由句意可知A項正確。
