His parents had tried everything ----- tutors, cards, special learning centers ----- in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的) school. After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening. Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns(修女),” Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.” “Well then,” she asked again, “WHAT was it?” Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed(钉) to the plus sign, I knew they weren’t joking.” 1.

How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman. There on the shelves, each bottle, can ,box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, because he/she is buying not only a product but also his/her belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products.” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feelings for packaging, noticed. Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that is it very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up. Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old. 2 This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people by to satisfy both body and soul. 5. According to the passage, _____ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product. A. the pleasing color of the package B. he special taste of the product C. the strange shape of the package D. the belief in the product 6. If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ____________. A. bring excitement to the consumers B. attract the consumers’ attention C. catch the eye movement of the consumers D. produce a happy and peaceful feeling 7. “And the word green today can keep food prices going up ” This sentence suggests that consumers today are _________. A. starting to notice the importance of new food B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before C. beginning to like green vegetables D. paying more attention to their health 8. It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________. A. vegetable dish B. healthy juice C. iced drink D red vegetable C If you are planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. First of all, always check and double,check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting. The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money～” the driver said angrily. You can 3 imagine how terrible I felt at that moment. The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. 9. Where is the writer most probably from? A. Britain B. The USA C. Italy D. Greece 10. When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he _________. A. asked the driver to give him a free ride B. offered to pay in pounds C. gave the driver some fake money D. tried to pay by credit card 11(Generally, in May the weather in London is________. A(warm and dry B(cold and dry C(hot and wet D(cool and rainy 12(The writer mainly tells us________. A(how to make life easier B(how to be well prepared for a trip C(how to enjoy ourselves on the trip D(how to schedule our trip D Mood(心情), say the experts, are feelings that likely to become fixed, having effects on one’s outlook (way of looking at things) for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely. Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Scientists offers a lot ot tranquilizers(镇定剂) and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and el out have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous(无毒的). So next time you fe of sorts, don’t head for the drug store-----try the following method. Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercises(有氧运 动)seem to be the best cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep the exercise, you’d be in high spirits,” says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty. Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that 4 make exercises compare favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercises-----running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heat rate and circulation(循环)，and improve the body’s use of oxygen. Do them for at least 20minutes a time, three to five times a week. 13. It can be inferred from the passage that______. A. when one is in a bad mood, he or she must not work very well B. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself C. some drugs are more effective than physical exercises D. taking drugs is at risk of being poisonous 14. The phrase “feel out of sorts”, as is used in the second paragraph, could be best replaced by_______. A. put things in order B. are in a bad mood C. search for tranquilizers D. want a mood-raiser 15. Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage? A. An exercise and its importance are explained B. A problem is examined and solutions are given C. Two different views of a problem are presented D. Recent development in medicine are described 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) E Six Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension Help your child keep what he reads --- a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks. Let him read aloud. This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads. 16 Provide the right kinds of books. 17 He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help. Stopping to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story. 18 To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothly- a skill known as fluency. Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child 5 practice at decoding words quickly, so he'll become more fluent. Talk to the teacher. If your child is struggling strongly with comprehension, he may need more help with his reading-for example, building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills. Supplement class reading. If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic. Some previous knowledge will help him get better prepared and make his way through tougher classroom texts. Talk about what he's reading. This "talking processing" helps him remember and think through the themes of the book. 19 . For example: Before: "What interests you in this book?" During: " 20 . Is it turning out the way you thought it would?" After: "Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it?" A. Reread to build fluency. B. Plus, he's not only seeing the words, he's hearing them, too. C. What's going on in the book? D. Do you know all the characters' names in the story? E. Make sure your child gets lots of practice of reading books that aren't too hard. F. He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help. G. Ask questions before, during, and after a reading session. 二、完形填空(每小题1.5 分，共30 分) 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中, 选出最佳选项。 It surprised me—every time I saw Joe，he was smiling.

We have a lot of things to buy them. We drove to the center of the city and stopped their car in front of the shop. An hour late, we came back to the car.

I’d like to share with you my ideas about this topic. Parents are the people who love us most, so it’s necessary to keep a good relationship with them. Here are my ideas on how to make it easier to communicate with parents. First, we should respect and trust our parents. Don’t be rude to them even if they have done something wrong. They have experienced more and always try their best to protect us from dangers. Second, if we often talk with them about our life and experience, we will know each other better. Third, if sometimes we don’t agree with our parents’ decision, we should try to put ourselves into their shoes and we will soon understand them. Thank you for listening. 9
