1．Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy．But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services．Today's advertisements，or ads，try to get consumers to buy certain brands．Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can，sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing，eat a special kind of cereal，or see a movie．Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it．
For example，you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket．There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves．You may not have space on a shelf for another．But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box，you may want it．
Advertising must get attention．To be effective，it must be exciting，entertaining，or provide some pleasure．The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product．The idea is what the ad is really selling．One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports．That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy．

21．What is discussed in this passage？B
A．The content of modern advertising．
B．The skills of modern advertising．
C．The results of modern advertising．
D．The writing of modern advertising．
22．According to the passage，a good advertisement shouldA．
A．be both persuasive and effective
B．give people useful information
C．show people a product
D．show people a new idea of a product
23．From the passage，we know thatD．
A．modern advertising has less effect on customers
B．once customers see ads about a new cerea1，they are sure to buy it
C．cereal can make people strong
D．cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people
24．What can we infer from the passage？A
A．Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements．
B．Customers should be persuaded by advertisements．
C．It's impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements．
D．Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements．

分析 本文主要講述廣告的介紹作用和勸誘作用，討論了廣告使用什么樣的技巧起到應(yīng)有的作用．

解答 21．B 主旨題：本文著重講述了廣告的作用，所以為了起到應(yīng)有的作用，必須有一定的技巧．
22．A 細節(jié)題：由文章第一段第三句"Today's advertisemens，orads，try to get consumers to buy certain brands"可知 一個好的廣告既要有說服力也要有效，A 正確．
23．D 推理題：由文章第二段"you probably do not need the newest cereal in the to buy it supermarket．There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves．You may not have space on your shelf for another．But if you see ads about a new ce real that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box，you may want it．"可以 推測出來 cereal 是一種受人們歡迎的食品．選D
24．A 推理題；由于本文主要講述廣告的介紹作用和勸誘作用，同時文章第二段的麥片的例 子就是一個暗示，可知人們很容易被廣告說服，所以 A 為正確答案．

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項 （3）排除用于過于極端或負面的選項（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

11．
A．Independence leading to family breakup
B．Women's easy and convenient life in USA
C．No marriage for many people nowadays
D．Average American families getting small
E．Full freedom for young women
F．Divorce---a social problem in USA
76．F
Marriage，like other social instructions，is showing the strains of modern life．While more Americans are getting married today than ever before，the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise（ one divorce for every three marriages last year）．Why should this be so，and what，if anything，can we do to reverse this trend？
77．B
For most people，life is easier and more comfortable than ever before．Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking．Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do．Released from these household chores，many wives have found jobs outside the home．Women are achieving economic independence．
78．D
Families，too，are simpler today．In American，it is not customary for parents to live with their married children．With our greater mobility，relatives have scattered，the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people，after they marry，going wherever their jobs or their interests take them．
79．E
Young adult women have new freedom，too．While attending college，they often live away from home，sometimes far from their parents or their relatives．After college，they move to the city，find a job，and set up"bachelor"apartment．This is the era of women's liberation．
80．A
But all this freedom and affluence have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage．Men and women，no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance，find it harder to accept the responsibilities and restraints or endurance the misunderstandings of married life．When happiness becomes misery，many couples decide to terminate their marriage through divorce．On the other hand，there is a growing trend today for couples in trouble to try to save their marriage by consulting a professional counselor．He listens patiently while they talk，knowing that only through self-understanding can they solve their problems．

12．For a while，my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers（慢跑的人）．They were there all the time：early morning，noon，and evening．There were little old ladies in gray sweats，young couples in Adidas shoes，middle-aged men with red faces．"Come on!"My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening．"You'll feel great．"
Well，I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day，anyone could．So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life，and not a day more．Based on my experience，jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around，and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army．I'm not alone in my opinion．
First of all，jogging is very hard on the body．Your legs and feet a real pounding（沉重的腳步） ruining down a road for two or three miles．I developed foot，leg，and back problems．Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging，and I had something else to worry about．Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people，but if you have any physical weaknesses，jogging will surely bring them out，as they did with me．
Secondly，I got no enjoyment out of jogging．Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun．Jogging is also a lonely pastime．Some joggers say，"I love being out there with just my thoughts"Well，my thoughts began to bore me，and most of them were on how much my legs hurt．
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain？And that wasn't just the first week-it was practically every day for two months．I never got past the pain level，and pain isn't fun．What a cruel way to do it!So many other exercises，including walking，lead to almost the same results painlessly，so why jog？
I don't jog any more，and I don't think I ever will．I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace，and that feels good．I bicycle to work when the weather is good．I'm getting exercise，and I'm enjoying it at the same time．I could never say the same for jogging，and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape．

56． From the first paragraph，we learn that in the writer's neighborhoodA．
A． jogging became very popular 
B． people jogged only during the daytime
C． Alex organized an army of joggers 
D． jogging provided a chance to get together
57． The underlined word"them"（Paragraph 3）most probably refers toD．
A． heart attacks  B． back problems  C． hundreds of people  D． physical weaknesses
58． From the writer's experience，we can conclude thatC．
A． jogging can help people keep fit
B． many physical problems result from jogging
C． not everyone enjoys jogging
D． jogging makes people feel greater．

9．Many of us enjoy doing it：you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high angle，making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more defined．You turn to your best side and click．There it is-your selfie．
Over the past year，"selfie"has become a well-known term across the globe．This August the Oxford dictionary added the word to their online dictionary and defined it as："A photograph that one has taken of oneself，typically with a smartphone or webcam and up-loaded to a social media website．"
Today it's not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends．And selfie culture has become especially relevant for young people．As many as 91 percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online，according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center．
So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture？
"The cult （狂熱） of the selfie celebrates regular people，"Pamela Rutledge，a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology，told Vogue magazine．"There are many more photographs available now of real people than models．"
Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online．"I like having the power to choose how I look，even if I'm making a funny face，"Samantha Barks，19，a high school student in the US，told Vogue．
In addition to self-expression and documentation，selfies"allow of a close friendship for long-distance friends，because you can see each other's faces every day"，wrote Casey Miller at The Huffmgton Post．
But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies might lead to social problems，"There's a danger that your self-esteem may start to be tied to the comments and‘likes'you get when you post a selfie，and they aren't based on who you are-they're based on what you look like，"Weber told Vogue．"When you get nothing or a negative response，your confidence canplummet．"

e．It is considered a good way to stay connected with friends that are far away．
A．a(chǎn)，c，e          B．b，c，d     C．a(chǎn)，b，c          D．b，d，e
65．What is Jill Weber's attitude toward selfies？C
A．She thinks they are a good form of self-expression and documentation．
B．She believes the disadvantages of selfies outweigh the advantages．
C．She is worried that people's self-esteem might be affected by how others react to their selfies．
D．She thinks that selfies can help people learn about their friends based on who they really are．
66．The underlined word"plummet"in the last paragraph probably meansD．
A．rapidly develop

6．Women make better drivers than men for many reasons．Why is that，do you suppose？Wouldn't you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless？If you ask me，I'd like to say，men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth-women are queens of the road．
Unlike men，women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going．We don't drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction．Have you ever be in a car with a man who is lost？He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth．And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he's made another wrong turn．
Speeding is what men do best on the road．Traffic is not a race．There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women．Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don't get pulled over as frequently．We don't speed．We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger．
My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what．The seat is backed as far as possible，and they're totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level．You don't ever see women driving like that．
I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men．We women rule the road．Oh，and men，if you want to continue criticizing （批評） women for being bad drivers，bring it on．We know you lack confidence，or else you wouldn't be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with．
66．If a woman driver feels lost，she willD．
A．tell the man next to her to shut up         
B．drive aimlessly for hours without stopping
C．take the wrong turns at a high speed        
D．stop the car and ask people for help
67．In Paragraph 3，the writer tries to tell us thatA．
A．women drivers have more responsibility for lives
B．women drivers often play tricks on the police in charge
C．men drivers are more confident and skillful in driving
D．men drivers usually have to be pulled over to the roadsides
68．According to the passage，what does the writer worry most about men drivers？C
A．not stopping for directions             
B．making jokes about women
C．not paying full attention                   
D．getting more speeding tickets

10．We often see wind-horse flags in Tibetan areas．They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures（經(jīng)文）are printed．People often put these flags on top of houses，or leave them where a vehicle accident happened．They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again．
    A wind-horse flag can be white，yellow，red，green or blue．These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world； earth，water，fire，wind and sky．Another explanations that red is the sun，green is the grassland，yellow is the earth，blue is the sky，and white is the cloud．
    The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India．When he crossed a river，he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water．He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation（默想）．Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums．The monk felt liberated（解放的）from all of his sadness，and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind．Finally，he went straight to heaven．
In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture，people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky．
    We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses．The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture．They thought people not only could chant scripture，but also the five elements．The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag，which means that the wind also chants scripture．
60．The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag'sA．
A．colors         B．styles            C．materials         D．functions
61．What happened when the monk meditated？B

B．a(chǎn)n ancient custom
C．a(chǎn) religious tale                    
D．a(chǎn) vehicle accident
63．Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses？D
A．The wind-house flags are safer there．
B．The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky．
C．People can see the wind-house flags more clearly．

Every time someone  saw Ugly there was  the same reaction．"That's  one UGLY cat!"All the children were warned not to touch him．The adults threw rocks at him when he tried to come in their home．Ugly always had the same reaction-he would stand there until you gave up and quit．If you threw things at him，he would curl his lanky（瘦長的） body around feet in forgiveness．But if you ever picked him up，he would immediately begin sucking on your shirt，earring whatever he could find．
