Packaging is an important form of advertising．A package can sometimes motivate someone to a product For example，a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character．The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food．Pictures printed on a package，or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them． Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing．Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this．Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less，people often prefer to the product in a reusable glass or dish，because they believe the container is free．However，the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product． The size of the package also motivates a buyer．Maybe the package has"Economy Size"or"Family Size"printed on it This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money．But that is not always true．To find out，a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit． The information on the package should provide some answers．But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement．The words and pictures do not tell the whole story．Only the product inside can do that． (1) .The word"motivate"in the second sentence most probably means" ______ "． A. making one deep in thought B. supplying a thought or feeling that makes one act C. providing a story that makes one moved D. making one believe that what he does is just (2) "A buyer will get something for nothing"most probably means that" ______ "． A. a buyer will get something useful free of charge B. a buyer will get what he pays for C. a buyer will gain more than he losses D. a buyer will not get what he wants to (3) People are likely to buy the product sold in a glass or dish because ______ ． A. the believe the cost of the container is included in the cost of the product B. the container is attractiveC. they think they can get the container for freeD. they have no other choice (4) Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage？ ______ A. Package is often a successful advertisement． B. Children are often made to buy a product by its package with attractive pictures． C. A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container． D. On seeing a well-designed container，a buyer often neglects （忽略） what is inside it． .

Sign has become a scientific hot button.Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique-a speech of the hand.They offer new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language and throw new light on an old scientific controversy：Whether language，complete with grammar，is something that we are born with，or whether it is a learned behavior.The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington，D.C.，the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people. When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English，the school enrolled him in a course in signing.But Stokoe noticed something odd：among themselves，students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code，each movement of the hands representing a word in English.At the time，American Sign Language（ASL）was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English（混杂英语）.But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer.He wondered：Might deaf people actually have a genuine language？And could that language be unlike any other on Earth？It was 1955，when even deaf people considered their signing as "substandard".Stokoe's idea was academic heresy（异端邪说）. It is 37 years later.Stokoe--now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture-is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started.a revolution For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English，French and Japanese.They assumed language must be based on speech，the modulation（调节） of sound.But sign language is based on the movement of hands，the modulation of space. "What I said，" Stokoe explains， "is that language is not mouth stuff--it's brain stuff."（1）The present growing interest in sign language was encouraged to develop by ____ .A.a famous scholar in the study of the human brainB.a leading specialist in the study of liberal artsC.an English teacher in a university for the deafD.some senior experts in American Sign Language（2）According to Stokoe，sign language is ____ .A.a substandard languageB.a genuine languageC.an artificial languageD.an international language（3）Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought ____ .A.sign language was not extensively used even by deaf peopleB.sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedC.a language should be easy to use and understandD.a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds

In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation(卫生)and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead to violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.What does the word" urban" (Line 2, Para. 3)mean A. Of the city.B. Out of work.C. In a bad condition.D. Of enormous size.

When you#39;ve read the same paragraph 10 times and you still make little of it as you are reading ancient Egyptian, and you#39;re not studying ancient Egyptian, it#39;s time for you to put the books down. Experts say good breaks are a critical part of exam preparation and actually make your brain work better. Debbie Bruckner, the director of the Student Union Wellness Centre at the University of Calgary, says an overburdened brain stops processing new information.quot;You#39;ve got to put it into your short-term memory and then move it into your long-term memory,quot; she says. To do that, you need to stop cramming new knowledge into your head. Psychologist Joanne Mills says most people can concentrate for 45 minutes to an hour at a time, but then need 15 minutes to rest. She suggests picking your break activity -- taking a walk, listening to music -- and setting a timer for 15 minutes. quot;It#39;s a cue to your mindquot; she says. Mills also suggests setting targets and stopping when you#39;ve reached them.quot; Some students will take that break even if they haven#39;t finished what they set out to do and then they don#39;t really relax or enjoy it because their mind is racing with #39; I must, I should, I have to.#39; “If you#39;re in the flow, ride the momentum until you come to a natural break in the material,then set the timer again and walk to the corner store. Alternating which books you#39;re hitting also helps. Work on English for an hour, then switch to math. It#39;s like exercising multiple muscles at the gym, as different parts of your brain work for different subjects. Bruckner says that to maintain a healthy mind-body-spirit temperament in the heat of exam season, sit down with your calendar. quot;Make a schedule for a month -- when your assignments are due, when your final exams are, what the weighting is for each,quot; she says.1.[单选题]By saying quot; what the weighting is for eachquot; the author means that you will know_____.A.which exam is the most importantB.what time each exam isC.how to balance your timeD.what is the most important task each time2.[单选题]According to Debbie Bruckner, to learn new knowledge well_____.A.you need to stop learning new informationB.you need to process it as quick as possibleC.you should put it into your long-term memoryD.you don#39;t need to put it into your short-term memory3.[单选题]The word quot;cramquot; in the second paragraph isclosest in meaning to_____.A.put something into a container, especially in a hurryB..put many things into a place at one time that makes itcompletely fullC.teach students as much as possible in a short time beforethe examinationD.put too much knowledge into the brain, although there ishardly enough room for it4.[单选题]The author uses quot;ancient Egyptianquot; to infer to that the reading is_____.A.very interestingB.hard to understandC.very boringD.of different culture5.[单选题] If you haven#39;t finished the target you set, youshould_____.A.still take the break in every 45 minutesB.wait until you come to a natural break in the materialC.set the timer again and walk to the corner storeD.stop thinking quot;I must, I should, I have toquot;

Section C（题干） Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage. That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect？ A. To what extent it can trouble people. B.What role it has played in evolution. C. What circumstances may trigger it. D.In what way it can be beneficial. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research？A.She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep. B.She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way. C.She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins D.She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment？A.She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains. B.She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment. C.She exposed her participants to two different stimuli. D.She compared the responses of different participants. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment？A.They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others. B.They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat. C.They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps. D.They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment？A.She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment. B.She recruited 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences. C.She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains. D.She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.
