AThe Guardian “Three Little Pigs”For its first major branding campaign, The Guardian took the story of the “Three Little Pigs” and updated it for a world dealing with many difficulties. Vivid and dark, the ad gets across the value of a news organization and proves its social-media power briefly.Nike “Find Your Greatness (Jogger) ”Nike wasn’t an official Olympic sponsor, but it stole the show with those green-volt shoes in the stadium and the “Find Y our Greatness”campaign on TV. This spot, featuring an overweight American teen, was Nike advertising at its best—beautifully shot ,powerful and surprising. Red Bull “Stratos (Felix Baumgartner Jump)”Millions of people were attracted by Felix Baumgartner’s record-breaking high-altitude jump, which was sponsored by Red Bull. (Note: He did not jump from space.) Audience tuned in(收看) not once, but twice (thanks to weather delays) to witness it, and the media from around the world covered the event as if it were Mars landing.P＆G “Best Job”We expected some emotional moments from the Olympics, but were a little surprised to be left a weeping mess by an ad from Procter ＆Gamble.“The hardest job in the world, is the best job in the world,” may be grammatically incorrect but we’ll overlook that .For Mom.McD’s Canada “Why Our Food Looks Better”Perhaps McDonald’s USA could take a lesson or two from its counterparts(对应的事物) to the north. McD’s Canada won the market with a simple concept: Answer viewer questions. In this practice, marketing director Hope Bagozzi showed us why a store-bought burger looks so different from one in the ads.21. It can be inferred that “Three Little Pigs” of The Guardian .A. preserved its original look.B. was adapted with new content.C. marked its second branding campaign.D. proved the media’s power to change the world.22. According to the passage, Nike was ________.A. best known for its stadiumB. best explained by the campaign on TVC. sponsored by the Olympic GamesD. best advertised by a fat American teen23. P＆G “Best Job” showed its respect to ________.A. the Olympic GamesB. emotional momentsC. hardworking mothersD. hardworking volunteers24. Which is true about McDonald’s USA?A. It doesn’t catch up with McDonald’s CanadaB. It does better than McDonald’s CanadaC. It usually answers viewer questionsD. Hope Bagozzi is responsible for its marketingBDiners in Los Angeles can now enjoy traditional Taiwanese cuisine in a not-so-traditional way, but some diners might think something seems very bad about the idea: Guests eat from toilet-shaped bowls while sitting on toilet seats.Magic Restroom Café is owned by YoYo Li, a first-time restaurateur from China. He picks up on the toilet-themed restaurants which are already successful in parts of China, but it’s unclear whether the strange concept will work in the United States, or go down the drain.The toilet-sh aped serving bowls are all purchased from Japan and come in two types: standard Western or squat(蹲着的)，which are more common for bathrooms in China.Some locals say they aren’t informal ideas, but still think it’s little unusual. “It looks really uncomfortable and sounds strange, but I’d try it once, which is usually my rule with most new things, especially in Los Angeles, where we also dine in the dark and go to bars with flying midgets(歌特摇滚),”said David Beebe, a Los Angeles-based Digital Entertainment Executive and Producer. “Why not increase the stakes (赌注) by adding some working toilets, add adult beverages, and make it a dating show . That probably has a better chance of succeeding — at least the toilet paper can serve dual(双重的) purposes.”Others say it’s not a big deal and they would try it for the experience. Diana Luc who works in City of Industry, where Magic Restroom is located, says she is going to have lunch there with her co-worker this week.“I would give Magic Restroom a try, purely for the experience,”she said. “However, this idea is hard to swallow, literally.”The restaurant is expected to draw local crowds of Chinese, who are already familiar with the concept.“Asians just can’t resist these strange style foods,” said Tony Wei, a local of Chinese origin. “I can’t resist the strange styles, either. And I would definitely eat at this restaurant.”25. Which is TRUE about Magic Restroom Cafe?A. It is a modern restroom in America.B. It is started in America by a Chinese.C. It is the biggest restaurant owned by YoYo Li.D. It is a restaurant which features western food.26. We can know from the passage that ________?A. the types of toilet-shaped serving bowls are various.B. most of the Americans are very interested in Magic RestroomC. Diana Luc will go to Magic Restroom because of her co-workerD. although some locals think Magic Restroom is strange, they plan to try it27. Tony Wei will go to Magic Restroom because of .A. its popularityB. its high qualityC. his curiosityD. its low pri ceCUp to 45 rare species of Australian animals are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝的) within 20 years, scientists warned in a report. But hope is not lost! According to the report， the species can be saved if immediate action is taken to control predators(捕食者) and other threats.The threatened animals include rare species of wallaby, bandicoot and other mammals, birds and reptiles. These species can be found in the remote Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. The region is similar in square miles to California. 30% of the identified endangered species are unique to the region.The report focused on the Kimberley region. Dr. Tara Martin, a research scientist with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research organization, co-authored the report. “We’re in the middle of a big extinction event in Australia. The north has really been the last stronghold for many species of birds and mammals and reptiles,” says Martin, “The Kimberley is really their last chance on Earth.”Many of the species are under threat because they are hunted by wild cats. These cats kill around 500,000native animals in the Kimberley region every year. The species face another threat, too. Their native habitat is also being destroyed by wildfire and by wild donkeys and goats that compete for food and water. Humans introduced cats, donkeys and goats to Australia to be farm animals or pets. However, their wild populations have increased greatly in the region because they have few natural predators.The report calls for $96 million to immediately start conservation programs. And $40 million each year to protect the region’s native animals. The re port also recommends reducing wild donkeys and goat populations in the region, building fences, fighting wildfire and educating the community about how to help the endangered species.Richard Hobbs, an ecologist at the University of Western Australia, points out that the costs are worthwhile because the measures will not be too difficult to carry out. “The price sounds high,” says Hobbs, “But relatively speaking, it’s a huge conservation bargain.”28. Which of the following is TRUE about the Kimberley region?A. It’s a perfect place where many endangered species live.B. It’s almost as big as California in size.C. About one-third of unique species live in it.D. It’s a place where researchers reproduce some endangered species.29. The underlined word “stronghold” in Paragraph 3probably means “_______”.A. protectionB. safetyC. habitatD. food30. From what Richard Hobbs says, we can learn _______.A. it’s a difficult task to take measures to protect the endangered speciesB. protecting the endangered species is a worthwhile but costly causeC. reducing wild monkeys and goats needs lots of moneyD. the Australian government doesn’t support the conservation program31. The best title for the text would be .A. Some species are dying out in AustraliaB. Save some endangered species in AustraliaC. The threats to some endangered species in AustraliaD. Ways to save some endangered species in AustraliaDOn Friday, 850 individuals from San Diego County will be attending the fifth annual “A Night to Remember.” Cheryl Shields started the prom(正式舞会) back in 2011after being inspired by a similar event held at a church she visited on a trip to her husband’s family in the Midwest.Half of the attendees of the sold-out event have special needs, while the other half serve as “student hosts.”“This whole night is to bring together kids with cerebral palsy, kids who are blind, kids that have autism, Down syndrome, Williams syndrome, any diagnosis(诊断)—we bring them together and have them one-on-one with mainstream kids who tell them “I’m here to be your friend”, she said. “It’s a party atmosphere where we get to celebrate these wonderful kids.”Shields has triplet(三胞胎) 12-year-olds, none of whom have special needs. But while pregnant with them, she was warned that it could be a possibility. What’s surprised her about her prom is the “ripple effect”(连锁效应) it’s had on volunteers, including her son and two daughters and especially the student hosts. She said she had turned away more than 150 of them every year.“I asked them, ‘why do so many of you want to come to serve at A Night to Remember?’ And they said, ‘Because it’s more fun than our own dance. There’s no embarrassment. It’s just good pure fun.’ I’ve had a couple of kids say they went into special needs in college because of A Night to Remember,” she said. “Here I’m thinking I’m doing it for the special needs kids and their families, but then here are these other students just as affected. There’s not a dry eye the whole night.”Cameron agreed, who heads an agency that offers service for people with development disabilities.“It started out being a prom, but now it’s more of an annual community dance,” she said. “Every time the community gets to interact with individuals who have special needs and do an activity like this, it’s good for both sides. They both learn from each other and it helps educate the community and be stronger.”32. What do you know about “A Night to Remember”?A. It is held every other year.B. It’s a church party in the Mideast.C. It sells things special kids need.D. It’s a dance held for special kids.33. Which of the following is true about Chery1 Shields?A. She was warned of the danger of giving birth to three kids.B. She had a great impact on the volunteers.C. Her children served at the prom as volunteers.D. She thought some students were unable to be volunteers.34. The mainstream kids came to serve at A Night to Remember because ________.A. they thought their own dance was boringB. they truly enjoyed staying with the special kidsC. they has long been working for special needsD. they were deeply moved by those special kids35. According to Cameron, ______.A. everyone can learn something by attending the activityB. there will be more community dances every yearC. the community dance aims to promote educationD. the relationships between community members get stro nger第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
