27、Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of contents on the back. Third, compare prices, that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial(商业广告), or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
【1】All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except ______.
A. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands.
B. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items .
C. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands.
D. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”.
【2】What does the writer think about ads?
A. They are believable. B. They are attractive.
C. They are helpful. D. They are harmful.
【3】One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ______.
A. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands .
B. to make use of advertisements carefully for shopping.
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch .
D. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”.
【4】The author implies that ______.
A. advertisements sometimes don’t tell the truth to the consumers.
B. discount clothing stores are only good places to go to for shopping.
C. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy less than you plan to.
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low.
28、In 2007, Bianca Valenti had an experience which nearly killed her. When she surfed (冲浪) at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, she met a wave as tall as a two-story house.
The wind was strong enough to block my vision. The moment I went under water, I was just getting knocked and spun (旋转) every which way. And then my feet touched the sand bottom there. When I swam to the surface, my lungs were burning painfully. I just thought to myself, “If there’s one more wave after this, I’m going to die.” Luckily there wasn’t another wave. That was when Valenti knew she had the drive and skill to surf big waves.
By 2014, Valenti surfed and won her first big waves contest (比赛) at Nelscott Reef in Oregon. There, she met fellow professionals Alms, Moller, and Kennelly. “One thing got me fired up at that point,” she said. “I wanted to have the opportunity to win more events, but there weren’t more events for women. That’s really annoying.” Luckily, Valenti, Alms, Moller, and Kennelly decided to stick together, support each other, and then fight together.
The four surfers formed Committee for Equity in Women’s Surfing (CEWS) to fight for entrance at Mavericks—a contest set in the surfing location of the same name, north of Half Moon Bay. Mavericks was invitation-only and was open to only men when CEWS was formed. Now, through the organization’s hard work with the State of California, women are allowed to surf in the event.
When Valenti was young, there weren’t many women represented in surfing culture. “I think it’s important for young kids to have all kinds of role models. That way they know all the people who they see as superheroes are just normal people who have crazy dreams. And sometimes the dreams aren’t even that crazy. If you work hard and you stick together with your friends, you can do anything. You can move mountains.”
【1】What inspired Valenti to surf big waves?
A．Her gift in learning surfing skills.
B．Her near-death experience in 2007.
C．Her courage to challenge men surfers.
D．Her ambition to be the best role model.
【2】What does “fired up” probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Angry.
B．Excited.
C．Satisfied.
D．Concerned.
【3】What do we know about Mavericks in Valenti’s time?
A．It was named after a famous surfer.
B．All surfers were admitted to it freely.
C．Surfers could only attend it by invitation.
D．Valenti won the contest for the first time.
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Valenti?
A．Determined and courageous.
B．Impolite and Careless.
C．Simple-minded and helpful.
D．Tough and impatient.
29、Do you remember that story about the little girl who goes to visit her grandmother and meets a big, bad wolf along the way? Or perhaps you remember the story of the three little pigs who build three houses to protect themselves from a wolf?
The reality behind the fairy tales is that people feared wolves. Hunting and killing coming from hatred almost caused the animals to die out. Wolves needed a fairy mother — and that is what Brookfield Zoo in Chicago is for wolves and their puppies.
Being a fairy mother to wolves is not easy. Brookfield Zoo replaced iron-barred cubicles (小隔间) with safe habitats, which are not merely attractive to the zoo visitor, but more importantly, are contributing to the normal behavior and reproduction of the animals. The wolves have a large area to run and play in, places to hide and sleep in, and hills to climb with lots of grass and trees around them.
A fairy mother’s job is to make dreams magically come true and part of the magic is being invisible. The people who take care of the wolves hide themselves and the food and toys in places where the wolves can dig them up and find them on their own, so they feel more like they are living in nature.
Fairy tales are just stories. Wolves don' t dress up as grandmothers, nor have they blown a house down. Wolves aren’t scary at all, and in fact, they are more afraid of humans than we are of them.
The wolves have a great life at Brookfield Zoo. Maybe they will stay at Brookfield Zoo, but it would be nice to see them live back in nature again, too. If we all work together, maybe we can make this fairy tale come true for the wolves.
【1】What are the two stories used to show?
A．Wolves are dangerous to humans.
B．People' s false impression of wolves.
C．The important role of Brookfield Zoo.
D．Wolves are a popular subject of literature.
【2】Which word can best describe the area for wolves at Brookfield Zoo?
A．Visitor-interactive.
B．Mountainous.
C．Remote.
D．Natural-looking.
【3】What's unique about the people looking after the wolves at Brookfield Zoo?
A．They are wolf researchers.
B．They are welcomed by the wolves.
C．They play hide-and-seek with the wolves.
D．They keep themselves out of the wolves sight.
【4】What does “this fairy tale” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Living in the wild.
B．Being taken good care of.
C．Staying at Brookfield Zoo.
D．Being afraid of humans no more.

31、Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Cure isn’t a word normally used in the 【1】 of AIDS. For most of the 35 years since HIV, the virus responsible for the disease, was first identified, doctors have viewed the notion of a cure as more 【2】 than fact.
That’s because HIV is a virus unlike any other. It disables the very immune cells that are 【3】 to destroy it, carrying out the ultimate deadly ambush（埋伏）whenever the guard of immune 【4】 comes down, months or sometimes even years later.
Yet for the first time in the HIV epidemic that 【5】 affects nearly 37 million people worldwide, some experts are starting to aim for a cure cautiously. The National Institutes of Health（NIH）is funding HIV cure efforts and advocacy groups like amfAR are also 【6】 resources into not just treating HIV, but also finding ways to eliminate it completely.
“Absolutely HIV can be cured,”says Rowena Johnston, vice president and director of research for amfAR.“The question is how.”
Doctors today have no trouble keeping HIV under control in people who are infected, thanks to antiretroviral（ARV）drugs, which stop the virus from replicating（复制）. If it is not making more copies of itself. HIV cannot spread to infect new cells. That can 【7】 into healthier, longer lives for people who are HIV-positive.
Powerful as the current drug treatments are, they can’t actually 【8】 the body of infected cells. For self-preservation, some HIV lies latent（潜伏性的）inside certain immune cells. These are the viruses that come coaring back when people stop taking their medications.
But the latest report this month revealed the strongest evidence that these latent viruses can be activated and eliminated, at least in animals. Dr. Dan Barouch and his colleagues showed that a drug that stimulates the immune system, 【9】 with a powerful antibody, prevented HIV from roaring back in five of 11 animals, six months after they stopped taking ARVs.“I think our data raises the 【10】 that an intervention achieving a functional cure is possible,”says Barouch.
32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We found out that Jenny was hearing impaired, when she was four and a half years old. Several surgeries and speech classes later, when she was seven, we found out that Jenny had Rheumatoid Arthritis (关节炎) . She could not put pressure on the heels of her feet, so she walked on tiptoe, and when the pain became unbearable, I carried her. All through grade school, and on into high school, Jenny suffered, yet never complained. She took her medicine, and I would often wrap her feet in steaming towels and hold her until the pain eased. But as soon as she could withstand (顶住) the pain, Jenny immediately carried on as though she were pain free.
She wore a smile on her face, a song on her lips, and a love and acceptance of others, that was simply amazing. I don’t remember her ever voicing self-pity. She ran when she could run. She played when she could play. She danced when she could dance. And when she could do none of these things, she took her medicine and she waited until she could.
Jenny, a beautiful blonde, with warm brown eyes, was never a cheerleader. She never competed in a sport. Jenny continued to have one surgery after another on her ears. Her hearing improved to 60%, and she taught herself to read lips. She carried a pillow to school, all through high school. She was totally mainstreamed, popular and funny, watching every football game, cheering the team on, carrying her pillow everywhere she went, so that she could ease the pain when she sat down.
Then came her senior year. She would be considered for scholarships. However, school activities, especially sports, could often mean the difference between receiving an award or losing out, so Jenny came to a decision. Although she couldn’t compete as a football player, she could provide supporting services for the high school football team. Jenny began to beg the football coach. She pleaded (恳求). She promised.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1
Finally the coach gave in, appointing Jenny as the manager of the team.
