There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.Colouring, 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 colours. Ice cream packets 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 colours 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 percent 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 (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”61．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 brand name of the productD. The colour of its package.62．The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off” (in Para.3) means that the colours _________.A. attracted the customers stronglyB. tricked the customers into shoppingC. caused the customers to lose interestD. had weak effects on the customers63．Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?A. The discovery of a geniusB. The way to promote goods.C. The team to produce a good product.D. The brand name used by successful producers.64．According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?A. The size of a product can have an effect on the shoppers.B. Greens, yellows or silver are considered to be healthy colours.C. 25 years ago, the founder of Pears soap was a pretty girl herself.D. Making soap is so easy that any fool in the world can make it.BHaving a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink and even fight. They often do something dangerous.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers view them—that is “peer influence”.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator but a weak brake . The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”65. What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?A. Quick.B. Crazy.C. Careful.D. Correct.66. Why are teenagers likely to make wrong decisions according to the text?A. They like difficult tasks.B. They don’t care about costs.C. They are too young to tell right from wrong.D. They care a lot about what their peers think of them.67. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer pressure on teens’ behavior?A. By comparing it with how a car works.B. By comparing it with an accident.C. By showing research findings.D. By giving examples.68. According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers are more likely to _______ .A. use more self-controlB. perform better than when they are aloneC. become more careful about what they doD. care about winning without thinking about danger69. What can we conclude from the text?A. Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.B. Peer influence is bad on teenagers.C. Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.D. Teenagers shouldn’t spend all the free time with their friends.CA cancer-stricken British teenage girl said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online "Bucket List" of things she wanted to do before dying.Alice Pyne, l5, created an Internet blog in which she described her fight against a cancer of the white blood cells. “I’ve been fighting cancer for almost four years and now l know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this one," she wrote.For her list, the teenager took inspiration from the 2007 film "The Bucket List", in which two terminally ill men, played by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, draw up a list of things they wish to do before they die.On her list, at the site www. alicepyne. blogspot. com, she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor (骨髓捐赠者), swimming with sharks, meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer.Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter.“Oh dear, and I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends!" she wrote after her site attracted huge attention. " Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me."Pyne, who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston, revealed that Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog. A group of local lawmakers have also joined forces with the Anthony Nolan blood cancer charity to encourage people to join its stem cell register.6l. What happened after Alice Pyne wrote her "Bucket List"?A. The media called on people to help her.B. People sent gifts to her from all over the world.C.A lot of people offered to donate bone marrow to her.D. People around the world sent messages to support her.62. Alice Pyne wrote her "Bucket List" to ____________________.A. express her last few wishesB. say goodbye to a few friendsC. give comfort to two terminally ill menD. catch people's attention63. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Alice Pyne ______________________.A. is unaware of her own conditionsB. is calm to know that death is approachingC. is very sad to know that she will dieD. is still quite confident in fighting against cancer64. Which of the following is NOT on Alice Pyne's "Bucket List"?A. To meet a boy.B. To get a cool computer.C. To swim with sharks.D. To ask people to donate bone marrow.65. Take That will arrange to _______________________.A. invite Pyne to join the bandB. help Pyne in any possible wayC. donate money to PyneD. meet Pyne in personDBirds that are half-asleep—with one brain hemisphere (半球) alert and the other sleeping—control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks.Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.Decades of studies of bird groups led researchers to predict extra alertness in the end-of-the-row sleepers which tend to be attacked more easily. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.Also, birds napping at the end of the line depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Turning 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found that compared with 12% for birds in inner spots, outer birds half sleep during some 32% of napping time.“We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness at the same time in di fferent regions of the brain,” the researchers say.The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing assumption that single-hemisphere sleep evolved when creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it in a pair of birds napping side by side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’s only been found in birds and such water animals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning.Studies of birds may offer unique insights(理解) into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds’ half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg.” He supposes that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species75. According to the passage, birds often half sleep because _________________________.A. they have to watch out for possible attacksB. their brain hemispheres take turns to restC. the two halves of their brain are differently structuredD. they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions76. What does the underlined word “evolved” mean in paragraph 6?A. developedB. changedC. disappearedD. helped77. What is implied about the example of a bird's sleeping in front of a mirror?A. Birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of their security.B. An imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security.C. The phenomenon of birds napping in pairs is widespread.D. A single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror.78. While sleeping, some water animals tend to keep half awake in order to _________________.A. alert themselves to the approaching enemyB. surface from water now and then to breatheC. be sensitive to the ever-changing environmentD. avoid being swept away by rapid currents79. It can be inferred that _______________________.A. birds never sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.B. inner ducks depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, as often as birds napping at the end of the line do.C. it is not the first time for scientists to research on birds’ half-brain sleepD. birds hardly sleep without a companion80. By saying “just the tip of the iceberg”, Siegel suggests that _________________________.A. half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weatherB. the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solvedC. most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepersD. half-brain sleep may exist among other species非选择题部分（共40分）第一节：单词拼写（共10题，每小题1分，共10分）1．It’s raining.
