26、第三部分阅读理解(共20小题;
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
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.
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.”
【1】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 colour of its package.
D.The brand name of the product.
【2】The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off” (in Para.3) means that the colours _________.
A.attracted the customers strongly
B.caused the customers to lose interest
C.tricked the customers into shopping
D.had weak effects on the customers
【3】Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A.The way to promote goods.
B.The discovery of a genius.
C.The team to produce a good product.
D.The brand name used by successful producers.
【4】According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?
A.Making soap is so easy that any fool in the world can make it.
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.The size of a product can have an effect on the shoppers.
【5】Which the following would be the best title for this text?
A.Choice of Good Products
B.Disadvantages of Products
C.Effect of Packaging on Shopping
D.Brand Names and Shopping Tricks
27、How to Have a Successful Teenage Life
Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life; it really isn’t that hard. 【1】
Do well in school. No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best for excellence in school; listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. 【2】 School sets you up on the right track!
Do good in your community (社区). Volunteering can not only improve your community’s status, it could make you happier. Studies show that people who volunteer are less likely to develop depression (抑郁) than people who don’t. 【3】 For example, if you love animals, volunteer at an animal shelter. If you love helping the environment, plant trees or pick up litter. When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself.
【4】 Remember, they’re there to help you be the best that you can be. Respect them and value their opinions, even if they annoy you sometimes. 【5】 You don’t get to choose your teachers or your family, but you still have to put up with them. Learn how to deal with people now, because when you’re an adult, you don’t get to choose your boss or your co-workers, so learn how to respect them now.

28、 I could have gone my entire life without ever reading Moby Dick, but unfortunately, I have read it. Twice, I’ve had to read it twice.
I can trace it as far back as middle school—the teachers’ desire to push classic literature on students as much as possible. And it makes sense, in some ways. There are benefits of being well read — a more robust(强大的)vocabulary, concentration and understanding of literary reference in the world. But at the same time, being well read doesn’t necessarily mean only reading classics for the sake of reading classics.
This isn’t to say that classic novels serve no purpose in a curriculum or in the literary world—classics are, in many ways, vital to a well-rounded education in literature. But so are pieces of contemporary(现代的)literature and books from centuries ago that haven’t been coined classics. So yes, there’s room for classic novels. But right now, there’s too much room for classic novels.
There are also many modern sayings that come from classics—like “Big brother is watching you,” from George Orwell’s 1984, and “Tomorrow is another day,” from Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind. It’s worth something to be well read in texts that have had an influence on the construction of modern-day language. But at the same time, when classic novels are included into the high school curriculum, they should be selected with care.
And as far as contemporary literature goes, there seems to be an opinion that it doesn’t offer as much wisdom and has less value and, therefore, we can’t learn as much from it. I’ve found this to be most untrue. After all, we tend to learn best from things that we can connect to, and contemporary literature is often the most relatable. And though it hasn’t had the time to become a classic,the structure and syntax(句法)holds its own. It’s different from classic work, but it’s not less valuable.
So let’s take a step back from the classics. We think that they’re pushing us forward, when, really, they might be standing in our way.
【1】Why did the author read Moby Dick twice?
A.To enlarge her vocabulary.
B.To meet her teachers’ requirement.
C.To satisfy her desire to read classics.
D.To have a better understanding of classics.
【2】For what purpose does the author mention 1984 and Gone with the Wind?
A.To prove classics are worthy of being read.
B.To show some classic novels are out of date.
C.To compare classics with contemporary literature.
D.To advise schools to select classic works carefully.
【3】What is the author’s view on contemporary works of literature?
A.They are not as valuable as classics.
B.They are more important than classics.
C.They should not be looked down upon.
D.They will become classics in the future.
【4】How should we treat classics in the author’s eyes?
A.Avoid reading them.
B.Treat them seriously.
C.Promote them at high school.
D.Reconsider their importance.

A spider (蜘蛛) was looking for a suitable place to make its web. He wanted his web to be in such a place where a lot of insects and flies would come and get trapped in his web. In this way he wanted to spend his life eating, drinking and relaxing happily.
Soon, he found a corner (角落) of the room of a house and started preparing to make his web there.
Just when he started weaving (织网) the web, a cat passing by started laughed loudly after seeing him. When the spider saw the cat laughing, he asked, “Why are you laughing?”
The cat replied, “I am laughing because you are foolish. Can’t you see how clean this place is? No flies or insects will come here. Who will fall in your web?”
After listening to the cat, the spider gave up the idea of making a web in that corner and started looking for another place.
Then he saw a window and started weaving his web there. The spider had prepared half of the web. Then a bird came and started making fun of him, saying, “Have you lost your mind? Why weaving your web near this window? A strong wind will blow and your web will fly away.”
The spider understood and stopped weaving the web on the window and started looking for another place. While searching, his eyes fell on an old cupboard (橱柜). The door of that cupboard was slightly open. He went there and started weaving a web. Just then a cockroach (蟑螂) came and said, “It is useless to make a web at this place. This cupboard is very old.
