6.Directions:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.There is one extra heading which you do not need.
 A.Make sure a sale is a sale.
B.Use less to save money.
C.Shop wisely.
D.Shop in large amount.
E.Establish a person budget.
F.Spend less to save money.
Saving money and being more economical is neither a science nor an art; rather it is somewhere in between and requires your commitment and hard work.Saving money takes time to develop,needs to be learnt,and brings benefits that will endure for the rest of your life.
76.F
Review what you spend and look at ways you can save money.Consider making telephone calls for instance only at off-peak times.Do you really need to have newspapers and magazines delivered?Can you do without those coffees you buy at break time everyday-would a flask of coffee taken to work save you money?What about using the public lending library instead of buying books or music CDs?
77.E
This is essential for families and individuals and can be the fastest way to save money.You will instantly see your incomings and outgoings once you figure out the amount of money available to spend.You will not be able to save money unless you know how much money you have coming in,and how much money you have going out.
78.A
Do your price research before you make an expensive purchase in a retailers promotion.You have to be sure the promotion really is not a creative marketing strategy of the store to encourage you to spend your money without thinking.Once you have researched the true price of a product (any product) you are in a good position to take advantage of a promotion,special offer or discount and really save money.
79.C
Consider markets,superstores,farmer's markets,local shops and stores.Anywhere is worth checking out to see if you can save money.Farmer's Markets can be particularly good places to save money.Typically you are buying direct from the producer of the product so the savings are passed on to you.Use your bulk buying strategy here-farmer's markets often offer opportunities to save money by buying larger quantities of staples,for instance potatoes,rice or corn.
80.B
We live in a consumer society where waste is a huge problem.If we could all use and consume less,there would be less waste and power consumption.Consider using less shampoo when you wash your hair,this may not mean washing your hair less effectively but it means not flushing the excess shampoo and your money down the drain.Turn off lights,the TV and the computer when they are not in use.Each little saving you make will build up and enable you to save money.

分析 短文主要講了在這么一個(gè)消費(fèi)者社會(huì)如何通過各種方式來節(jié)省用錢.

解答 76~80.FEACB
76.F 這一段主要講的是回顧你花錢的地方然后想想哪些地方可以節(jié)省用錢,例如考慮不要再高峰期打電話,不要每天買報(bào)紙或雜志等,因此這一段的主題思想是"少買東西來節(jié)約用錢".
77.E 這一段講的是你必須清楚你的收入和支出,才能控制用錢,因此這一段的主題是"建立個(gè)人的預(yù)算方案".
78.A 由第一句話可知"在零售商促銷的時(shí)候要進(jìn)行價(jià)格調(diào)查,來確定這不是一次創(chuàng)新的營銷策略",故選A.
79.C 這一段主要講了同樣的產(chǎn)品在不同的地方購買會(huì)有不同的價(jià)格,因此建議從產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)商買能減少價(jià)格,因此選C"明智購物".
80.B 這一段的內(nèi)容主要講了少用點(diǎn)來節(jié)省用錢,例如洗頭時(shí)少用點(diǎn)洗發(fā)水,這樣就可以減少用水等,當(dāng)燈、電腦和電視沒有使用時(shí)就關(guān)掉,因此這一段的主題是少用點(diǎn)來節(jié)省用錢,故選B.

點(diǎn)評 對于這種概括段落主題的閱讀題,首先要通讀整段內(nèi)容,接著對于段落中心思想進(jìn)行總結(jié),最后選出最合適的答案.

2.Learning to drive is important to the independence of teenagers,but it is also a great responsibility.Although having a law that keeps 16-year-old drivers from having more than one teenager in the car with them at first seems unfair,there are convincing reasons for this requirement.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in an automobile accident.It also reports that 16-and 17-year-old drivers are twice as likely to have an accident if they have two teenage friends in the car and four times as likely to have one if they have three or more teenage friends in the car with them.Fatal ( 致命的) crashes of 16-year-old drivers involve the highest percentage of speeding,driver error,and number of passengers.This information is enough to cause any reasonable person to wonder about the wisdom of allowing new teen drivers to take a carload of friends anywhere,even if the law permits it.
A study at the National Institutes of Health indicates that the part of the human brain that controls judgment and evaluates the consequences of our actions might not be fully formed until the age of 25.Until this study,researchers had placed the age at 18.If this is true,it could explain the reckless (魯莽的) behavior of many teens,behavior that often extends into their twenties.It also could be a strong reason for being cautious about the driving circumstances of young people.
This is not the only study that indicates such caution is necessary.One study at Temple University in Philadelphia examines the results of peer pressure in ris ky driving situations.The study,which uses a driving game,has an individual guide a car through a course,both alone and in the presence of friends.Three different age groups participated in the study:13-16,18-22,and 24 and older.Members of the oldest group showed caution whether driving alone or with friends present,but the two younger groups took more chances when they were with their friend s.Furthermore,because these drivers were accustomed to the noise and distraction of many passengers,they were unable to see their own mistakes.Once again,this is a good indication that a law restricting the number of teenage rs in the car with a young driver is a good idea.

67.What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?B
    A.Many deaths have occurred because of inexperience and overconfidence.
    B.It's reasonable to severely limit the passenger number of teen drivers.
    C.New teen drivers have to.a(chǎn)sk permission before driving with friends.
    D.There are many causes behind the teens'driving accidents.
68.From the two studies,the author probably suggests thatD.
     A.different age groups have different peer pressure
     B.teenagers often give wrong judgments above passengers'noise
     C.underdeveloped brain makes teens ignore their mistakes
     D.driving circumstances are bound up with the risk of accidents
69.We can infer that the law restriction can probablyA.
     A.protect teens on the highway
     B.raise teens'sense of responsibility
     C.reduce the number of fatal crashes
     D.force teens to drive with caution70.With which statement would thuthor most
70.kely disagree?C
     A.Some teenagers have risky behavior while driving.
     B.Certain laws treat teenagers and adults differently.
     C.We still need more studies on teen driving.

14.Gesture may mean something pleasant in one culture,but is highly opposite in another.
Once a man visited a local restaurant in a foreign country.He ordered something on the menu.When the waiter brought him a plate of delicious-looking fried noodles,he smiled and made an OK sign at the waiter with his thumb(大拇指) and forefinger(食指) linked in a circle.Looking angry,the waiter then picked up the dish and thrown it to his lap.What he did wrong,he wondered.Well,actually the reason is that this sign has quite different meanings in different countries.It means‘OK',‘good'to Englishmen,F(xiàn)rench understands it as‘zero'or‘worthless',while Japanese would read it as‘money'.And don't show this to a Northern Greek.About 2000years ago,ancient Greek have been found showing this gesture as a sexual insult(性侵犯).It is still thought the same way today.
The gesture‘thumb-up'is also commonly translated differently.In English,it is popularly known as‘OK'.But to most Europeans,it signals the number 1,since they count from 1to 5beginning with the thumb for 1and ending with the little finger at number 5.While American,British and Australian would use the thumb up to show someone needs a ride on the road.
For another example,in Columbia,when describing height,people must choose different gestures depending on whether he is talking about a human being or an animal.If he keeps the palm(手掌) of the hand parallel(平行) to the floor,as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child for example,he will very likely be greeted by laughter.In Columbia,this gesture is made for the description of animals.

28.What does the OK signal mean to Japanese?D
A.Good.  B.Zero.  C.Worthless.  D.Money.
29.Why did the waiter in the second paragraph get angry?C
A.The man didn't like the food he ordered.
B.The waiter brought the wrong food.
C.The waiter misunderstood the customer.
D.The man had a fight with the waiter.
30.Which gesture may Americans use to ask for a ride?A
A.Thumb-up.  B.Bow.  C.Hand-shaking.  D.Keeping-the-palm-up.
31.What's the best title of the article?B
A.Funny stories about gestures.
B.Gestures in different cultures.
C.Interesting things around the world.
D.Travel around the world.

1.It's roughly estimated that there are 450million disabled people in the world.No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something that happens to other people:as we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older.There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents.Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains.How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability not their disability that count.
28.The first paragraph points out thatC.
A.the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
B.India has much more disabled people than Canada
C.there are many disabled people in the world
D.it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people
29.The last word of the passage"count"most probably meansD.
A  be  numbered                           B.be included
C.be considered                           D.be most important
30.Which of the following statements is not true?C
A.About 10percent of  people in the UK are disabled.
B.Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
C.There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance
D.The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people
31.It can be concluded from the passage thatB.
A.both physical and metal barriers are hard to break down
B.we should take a proper attitude towards the disabled
C.we should try our best to prevent disablement
D.the able-bodies people will never fully understand the disabled.

18.The US government has started a website,Admongo,to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them.It claims to provide visitors with an"aducation"through games and other entertainment.
A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo."Call me Haiz",he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it.Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities.Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things:To identify the advertiser.To know what the advertiser is really saying.And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game.They create their own game character.They can choose different skin colors,hair styles,eye and mouth shapes.Then they begin a trip through ad-land,where there are ads on buses and billboards.The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
The Admongo game takes players inside a home,to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found.It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing.The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business.The FTC estimates that food,drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
The FTC says children are important for three reasons.They buy products.They influence parents and caregivers to buy.And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value.First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.

66.What is the best title of the text?B
A.The guide of Admongo         B.An aducation website for children
C.A popular online video game  D.A website aimed at children
67.Why did the government start the website?C
A.To attract the biggest market of buyers.
B.To sell the products of its company.
C.To help children know about advertising.
D.To advertise the video game for children.
68.What can players do in the website game?A
A.Choose hair styles for their character.
B.Travel to a supermarket.
C.Eat in a fast-food restaurant.
D.Play video games during the trip.
69.Children are important for advertising because they areB.
A.important for the society 
B.the most potential buyers
C.easily influenced by ads
D.easily affected by poor products
70.According to Michelle Obama,lots of food advertised for children areD.
A.healthy    B.of high nutrition     C.yummy          D.of low quality.

15.If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,you don't need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob (快閃族),which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place,do something unusual for a brief period of time,and then quickly break up.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network.At a predetermined time,they gather and perform some  distractions(消遣)such as waving their hands and exchanging books.Then,they quickly break up before the police can arrive.Using mobile phones,the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.
Bill Lasik,senior editor of Harper's Magazine,organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3,2003-after the first attempt was   foiled at Macy's department store.Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters (起時(shí)髦的人),and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people.Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue,but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place.Undoubtedly,flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.They also have great economic potential,such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.
The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.People use it to do many things.For example,in 2009,Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him.Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

21.The underlined word"foiled"in Paragraph 2can be replaced by _B.
A.forgotten         B.prevented        C.a(chǎn)nnounced         D.confirmed
22.What can you learn about the flash mob from the passage?D
A.The flash mob usually breaks up quickly for lacking enough time.
B.Once the place for the activity is determined,it can't be changed.
C.The flash mob can be made use of in many fields just for fun.
D.It gives people the chance to come together to do something unusual.
23.The main purpose of the passage isC.
A.to entertain       B.to encourage       C.to inform       D.to persuade
24.The writer's attitude towards the flash mob isB.
A.negative        B.objective         C.favorable        D.doubtful.
