问题     Public image refers to how a company is viewed by its customers, suppliers, and stockholders, by the financial community, by the communities【C1】______it operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable to considerable extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.
    A firm’s public image plays a vital role in the【C2】______of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders【C3】______stockholders, suppliers, creditors, government officials, as well as【C4】______special groups. With some things it is impossible to 【C5】______all the diverse publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the approval of creditors and stockholders, but it will undoubtedly find【C6】______from employees who see their jobs【C7】______On the other hand, high quality products and service standards should bring almost complete approval, while low quality products and【C8】______claims would be widely looked down upon.
    A firm’s public image, if it is good, should be treasured and protected. It is a valuable【C9】______that usually is built up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has earned a quality image, this is not easily countered or imitated by competitors. Such an image may enable a firm to【C10】______higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most【C11】______creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firm’s stock to command higher price-earnings ratio than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.
    A number of factors affect the public image of a corporation. 【C12】______include physical 【C13】______contacts of outsiders【C14】______company employees, product quality and dependability, prices【C15】______to competitors, customer service, the kind of advertising and the media and programs used, and the use of public relations and publicity.

选项 A、relative
B、related
C、reliable
D、reconcilable
答案 A
解析 固定搭配与上下文语义。首先判断空格一词能与to搭配，再通过句义判断词组prices——to competitors的意义为“能与同行竞争者相抗衡的价格”。选项中，relative to(相对于)符合句意。故答案为A。relative“有关系的，相对的，比较而言的”；related“叙述的，讲述的，有关系的”，related to“与…有关的”；reliable“可靠的，可信赖的”；reconcilable“可和解的，可调和的”。
