Passage 1
Complaining about faulty goods or bad service is never easy．Most people dislike
making a fuss．But if something you have bought is faulty or does not do what was claimed
for it, you are not asking for a favor to get it put right．It is the shopkeeper’s responsibility to
take the complaint seriously and to replace or repair a faulty article or put right poor service,
because he is the person with whom you have entered into an agreement.
Complaints should be made to a responsible person．Go back to the shop where you
bought the goods, taking with you any receipt you may have．If you telephone, ask the name
of the person who handles your enquiry, otherwise you may never find out who is to deal with
the complaint later.
Even the bravest person finds it difficult to stand up in a group of people to complain．So,
if you do not want to do it in person, write a letter．Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what
you write．At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give
receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article．If you are not satisfied with the
answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director．Be sure to keep
copies of your own letters and any letter you receive.

1．A customer may make a complaint because _______.
A．he dislikes causing a fuss
B．the article does not do what was claimed for it
C．he wants to ask for a favor
D．he was at fault in buying the article
2．According to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned in the agreement
between the shopkeeper and the customer?
A．To take his complaint seriously.
B．To sell him the goods.
C．To replace or repair a faulty article.
D．To put right poor service.


Ⅵ．Reading Comprehension（阅读理解，共10分，每题1分）


国际商务英语等级考试（初级）试卷 第 6 页 （共11页）

3．Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A．Complaints should be made to a responsible person.
B．You should bring with you the receipt when you go back to complain.
C．Send the receipt with the letter when you write to complain.
D．Many people find it difficult to stand up in a group of people to complain.
4．When complaining on the telephone ________.
A．you should speak direct to the owner
B．you must ask for the manager.
C．you may never find out who dealt with the matter.
D．you should find out with whom you discuss the matter.
5．According to the passage, when should you write to the managing director?
A．If you are not satisfied with the answer you get.
B．After sending out the first letter.
C．If you are not satisfied with the article you have bought.
D．After talking to the responsible person.


Passage 2
In most European countries, unemployment was low for many years after World War II,
and bitter memories of parents and grandparents who had been out of work for long periods in
the 1930s gradually disappeared from people’s minds．But in recent years it has once again
become a serious problem.
Newspapers usually take the number of people “unemployed” as a percentage of the
registered working population．On the basis of these figures alone, they make comparisons
with past experience and also between different countries．Such simplified calculations do not
take into account technological developments that have made a large number of unskilled jobs
unnecessary.
When we compare our unemployment figures with those of the 1930s, we must
remember that far more women work nowadays, and therefore register as unemployed if they
lose their jobs, so governments have a greater task and responsibility.
Comparisons between countries are also unreliable because of the percentage of people
who are not registered．For example, in former West Germany, most young people stayed at
school until they were 18.

1．It can be inferred from the passage that
A．unemployment before World War II was low.
B．unemployment after World War II was high.
C．unemployment in the 1930s was high.
D．unemployment in the 1930s was low．

国际商务英语等级考试（初级）试卷 第 7 页 （共11页）

2．According to the author, the figures of unemployment given in newspapers are ________.
A．unfair
B．false
C．miscalculated
D．correct
3．Which of the following statements is not true?
A．The unemployment rate in most European countries in recent years is high.
B．Unemployment did not represent a serious problem in Europe in the 1950.
C．The standard of being registered as “unemployed” is not the same in different
countries.
D．The unemployment rate is the percentage of a certain country’s population that does
not have a job.
4．The recent decline of unskilled jobs is mentioned as the result of ________.
A．high unemployment rates
B．technological advances
C．women workers
D．governments’ efforts
5．In former West Germany, ________.
A．young people were not allowed to work until they were 18
B．young people below 18 usually did not register to work.
C．young people usually registered to work before they were 18.
D．the registered number was bigger because of the young people below 18.
