Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packers are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package ----blue, because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better –known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”
60. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
A. The cost of its package B. The price of the product
C. The color of its package D. The brand name of the product
61. The underlined part “the color turned the customers off” (in para.3) means the colors__.
A. attracted the customers strongly
B. had weak effects on the customers
C. tricked the customers into shopping
D. caused the customers to lose interest
62. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A. The way to promote the goods.
B. the discovery of a genius
C. The team to produce a good producer
D. The brand name used by successful producers.
63. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Choice of good products B. Disadvantage of products
C. Effect of packaging on shopping D. Brand names and shopping tricks
C
One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about two centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is clear, the foxes have come home.
“The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Comer Jones. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year counted 14 species of mammals. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species.
Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges(避难处)have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent ￡ 750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. As a result, many birds are now living in the city. For peregrine falcons cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings(悬崖栖息地).By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because of the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities afforded plenty of food.
Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only whish ones retain(保持)the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.
64. The passage is mainly concerned with_____.
A．wildlife returning to large cities B．foxes returning to London
C．wild animals living in zoos D. a survey of wildlife in New York
65．It can be inferred from the passage that
A. Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos
B．Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city
C．Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside
D．Londoners have welcomed the wild birds，but found foxes a problem
66．According to the passage, the number of species of wildlife in New York's Central Park ．
A．is slowly decreasing B．competes favorably with other cities
C．is on the same level as before D．has more than doubled in the last century
67．Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife returning to the cities?
A．Food is plentiful in the cities． B．Wildlife is appreciated in the cities．
C．Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities.
D．Air and water quality has improved in the cities．
D
Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I knew of .It serves directly to assist a rapid distribution(销售)of goods at reasonable price，thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible t o provide for export at competitive prices drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living .By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labor , and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment .It lowers the costs of many services：without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much，the price of your television license would need to be doubled ,and travel by bus or tube would cost 20 percent more．
And perhaps most important of all，advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the produces and services you buy. Apart from the fact that twenty seven acts of Parliament(国会) govern the terms of advertising，no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements，He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising．He will not do so for long ,for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior(劣等的) article more than once .If you see an article consistently (始终如一)advertised ,it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it , and that it represents good value。
Advertising does more for the material benefit of the community than any other force I can think of.
There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs．He was drawing excessively(过分地) fine distinctions．Of course advertising seeks to persuades．
If its message were confined merely to information –and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is subtly persuasive—advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention．But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants．
68.By the first sentence of the passage the author means that ．
A．he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising
B. everybody knows well that advertising is money consuming
C．advertising costs money like everything else
D．it is worthwhile to spend money on advertising
69．The underlined word ‘it’ in the second paragraph stands for ．
A. the article． B．the advertiser． C．the advertisement． D．the proof．
70.The author deems (认为)that the well-known TV personality is ．
A. very precise in passing his judgment on advertising
B．interested in nothing but the buyers’ attention
C．correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information
D．obviously partial in his views on advertising
71．In the anther’s option，
A. advertising can seldom bring material benefit to man by providing information
B．advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over
C．there is nothing wrong with adverting in persuading the buyer
D．the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement

Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away - straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest （害虫）problems.
Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted（发出） by crops. The data were transformed into a color - coded map showing where plants were running”fevers”. Farmers could then spot - spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long - term backers（支持者） were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
72．In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to________.
A. estimate the damage to the crops B. measure the size of the affected area
C. draw a color -coded map D. locate the problem area
73．Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by________.
A. resorting to spot - spraying B. consulting infrared scanning experts
C. transforming poisoned rain D. detecting crop problems at an early stage
74．The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties________.,
A. the lack of official support B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production
75．Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of________.
A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
D. full support from agricultural experts

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-courses activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they
can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking , sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
What Chinese Parents Do In 76________ Their Children
| Attitude | 77_______________ |
| Measures/Dos | Never care about money. Send them to the best schools or abroad. Wish their children to 78______ or other classes. |
| Belief | The more 79 _______in education, the better the result will be. |
| What they can see in their children | 80_____________ |
| What they can’t see in their children | Lack of 81_____________ |
| 82________ their failure | Only teach them how to 83_________and study well. Without teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever. |
| How to 84______ the problem | By 85 ___________ |
