AThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging (包装) is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer (消费者), so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many pac kages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, becausethese shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.21．According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A. the pleasing color of the packageB. the special taste of the productC. the strange shape of the packageD. the belief in the product22．If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.A. bring excitement to the consumersB. attract the consumers’ attentionC. catch the eye movement of the consumersD. produce a happy and peaceful feeling23．“And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.A. starting to notice the importance of new foodB. enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC. beginning to like green vegetablesD. paying more attention to their health24．It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A. vegetable dishB. healthy juiceC. iced drinkD. red vegetableBChina is a country on the move, especially around its Lunar New Year holiday. This year, the holiday crush（客流量）promises to be even heavier than before.Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air, roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel.Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that annually tries patience. And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope. Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel, and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down.Much of the criticism has, focused on the railway's-online purchasing system. Which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers（票贩子）from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets.While insisting that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers, railway officials told reporters that the public need to be patient. Efforts were being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems. While officials had little good news for rail passengers, they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls （通行费）will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday.25．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word "discounting" in Paragraph 3?A. Promising.B. Discouraging.C. Pleasing.D. Rewarding.26．According to the text, getting tickets_____ around the official holiday.A. is just a piece of cakeB. is more costlyC. takes great effortD. is convenient for travelers27．We can learn from the text that _______ around the New Year holiday.A. there will be 3. 62 billion people going homeB .the railway system will be facing more stressC. people's complaint focus on the failure of online purchaseD. not railways but cars are the best choices for traveling28．Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude to the railway service?A. Objective.B. Doubtful.C. SatisfiedD. Worried.CThe stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom, and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people chose not to tell.Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told an become l ike a dangerous genie(妖怪)left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves，the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard wonk: we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in all appropriate manners.29．What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.30．One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that______.A story-sharing highlights the importance of hard workB. people are used to exposing their weaknessesC. people sometimes have no courage to share their storiesD. some stories make themselves feel sad31．Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?A. freedB. brokenC. unfoldedD. untouched32．The writer aims to convince us to_____________.A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsB. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesC. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesD. realize the importance of being honest when making friendsDWe live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺) no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter(木匠) to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts(精确切割)on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.33．Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are__________.A. more learnedB. more successfulC. more imaginativeD. more hardworking34．What does the underlined word “they” (paragraph2) refer to?________A. Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.B. Carpenters who have college degrees.C. people who think that modern material is of low quality.D. people who think highly of carpenters of old35．What does the third paragraph mainly discuss? ________A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.C. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.D. Modern houses last as long as the old one.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
