题目

Auctions (拍卖) are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He or she asks the assembled crowd in the auction room to make offers, or "bids", for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called "knocking down" the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum (讲坛).Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. An auctioneer prefers to get high prices for the goods because he then earns more himself.B. A clever auctioneer encourages rivals to compete in high bidding.C. When a "knock-out" is arranged, the real auction does not take place among the dealers until the "knock-out" comes off.D. Auctions can sell anything that will make money.

题目解答

答案

我们来逐项分析这道题目,找出哪个选项 **不正确**(NOT true)。 题干介绍了拍卖的基本流程:拍卖由官方认可的拍卖师主持,拍卖师在拍卖厅中邀请在场人群对物品出价(“bid”),鼓励买家不断提高出价,最终将物品“敲定”(knocking down)给出价最高的人。拍卖结束时,拍卖师会用小锤敲击桌子,这个动作象征成交。 现在我们分析每个选项: --- **A. An auctioneer prefers to get high prices for the goods because he then earns more himself.** (拍卖师希望物品卖出高价,因为这样他自己能赚得更多。) 这个说法通常是正确的。虽然题干没有直接说明拍卖师的收入与成交价挂钩,但在现实中,许多拍卖师或拍卖行的佣金是按成交价的一定比例计算的,因此价格越高,他们收入越多。即使题干未明说,这个推论是合理的,因此 **A 是正确的**。 --- **B. A clever auctioneer encourages rivals to compete in high bidding.** (聪明的拍卖师会鼓励竞买人之间激烈竞价。) 这与题干中“he encourages buyers to bid higher figures”完全一致。拍卖师的技巧之一就是制造竞争氛围,促使买家不断加价。因此 **B 是正确的**。 --- **C. When a "knock-out" is arranged, the real auction does not take place among the dealers until the "knock-out" comes off.** (当安排了“knock-out”时,真正的拍卖要等到“knock-out”结束后才在经销商之间进行。) 这个选项出现了“knock-out”这个术语,但题干中并没有提到“knock-out”,而是提到了“knocking down”——这是拍卖成交的正常程序,即拍卖师敲下锤子表示成交。 “Knock-out”在拍卖术语中并不是标准术语,有时可能指一种私下协议,即几个竞标者串通不竞争,以压低价格(属于串标行为),但这与正常拍卖流程相悖。更重要的是,题干中完全没有提及“knock-out”,而且这个说法本身含糊不清,甚至可能混淆了“knocking down”和“knock-out”。 更重要的是,**“knock-out”不是标准拍卖术语**,而“knocking down”才是题干中明确解释的成交动作。因此,这个选项引入了一个题干未提及且可能错误的概念,**其表述不符合题干内容,可能是错误的**。 --- **D. Auctions can sell anything that will make money.** (拍卖可以出售任何能赚钱的东西。) 这是一个概括性说法。虽然题干没有说“anything”,但现实中拍卖确实可以出售各种物品,如艺术品、房产、古董、牲畜等。只要有人愿意出价,就可以拍卖。这个说法虽然宽泛,但基本符合事实,因此 **D 可以被认为是正确的**。 --- 现在我们比较四个选项,找出 **NOT true** 的那个。 - A:合理,正确。 - B:与原文一致,正确。 - C:引入了未定义的术语“knock-out”,且其描述与题干中的“knocking down”容易混淆,可能是在误导。**“knock-out”不是拍卖中的标准成交术语**,而且“real auction does not take place until the knock-out comes off”这种说法不合逻辑,因为“knock-out”本身不是拍卖的一部分。因此,**C 是不正确的**。 - D:虽然绝对化,但作为概括可以接受。 --- **结论:C 选项是不正确的,即 NOT true。** --- **答案:C** \boxed{C}

解析

本题考查对拍卖流程细节的理解,需结合题干信息与选项进行逻辑判断。关键点在于识别选项中与题干描述矛盾或引入未提及概念的内容。尤其注意“knocking down”与“knock-out”两个术语的区别,前者是题干明确说明的成交动作,后者未被提及,属于干扰项。

选项分析

选项A

“拍卖师希望高价成交,因为能赚更多。”
题干未直接说明拍卖师收入与成交价的关系,但常识中拍卖师的佣金通常与成交价挂钩,因此该推论合理,选项正确。

选项B

“聪明的拍卖师鼓励竞买人激烈竞价。”
题干明确提到“auctioneer encourages buyers to bid higher”,与选项一致,选项正确。

选项C

“安排‘knock-out’时,真实拍卖在‘敲定’后才发生。”
题干中“knocking down”指成交动作,而“knock-out”未被定义。“knock-out”非标准拍卖术语,且选项描述混淆了成交动作与未提及的“knock-out”,逻辑矛盾,选项错误。

选项D

“拍卖可售任何能赚钱的东西。”
题干未限制拍卖范围,现实中拍卖对象广泛,该概括合理,选项正确。

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
