You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:
“I can't believe it—Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn't it beautiful? And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It's nice and the price is right. You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla,but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So,you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing,driving and eating. If the person looks cool,the product seems cool,too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation—consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It's a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend,but they don't trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice misleading,but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing.” It is true,because everyone knows an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. However,you don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.
11.The two attractive young women were talking so as to ________.
A.get the sweater at a lower price
B.be heard by people around
C.be admired by other shoppers
D.decide on buying the sweater
12.Lorenzo Bertolla is ________.
A.a very popular male singer
B.an advertising agency
C.a clothing company in Rome
D.the brand name of clothes
13.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Traditional advertising will soon disappear in the market.
B.The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by all kinds of ads.
C.Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it is too direct.
D.Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.
14.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Two Attractive Shoppers
B.Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C.Ways of Advertising
D.Undercover Marketing

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).
Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念)behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”
Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself. It is only a state of mind. It is when you trust yourself that you earn energy.
15.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ________.
A.its founder, David Belle
B.the film, Casino Royale
C.its risks and tricks
D.the varieties of participants
16.The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A.streets
B.objects
C.barriers
D.roofs
17.Which of the following is true of parkour?
A.It challenges human abilities.
B.It is a good but boring sport.
C.It needs special training.
D.It is a team sport.
18.As its participants move around a city, ________.
A.they can ask for help
B.they may choose to escape
C.they should run to extremes
D.they must learn to survive

本文是说明文。你可曾因为别人的评论而买下某种商品?你可能想不到那些谈论者其实是商家请的 “托”。
11.B 推理判断题。由第三段可知,她们其实是商家请的广告职员, 目的就是通过大声讨论商品吸引顾客对其商品的关注和兴趣, 故选B。
12.D 细节理解题。由第一段中的looking at a sweater及第三段最后的Lorenzo Bertolla
clothes可知, 这是一个服装品牌。
13.C 推理判断题。根据第五段的第一、二句排除B项; D项说法在文中无事实依据, 也过于武断, 故排除。又根据最后一段的内容可知C项正确。

文章向我们介绍了跑酷这项运动风靡全球的原因。
15.B 细节理解题。由文章第二段的“Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.”可以看出,跑酷之所以风靡世界是因为电影Casino Royale。
16.C 词义猜测题。obstacles意思为“障碍物”。 street意为“街道”; object意为“物体;对象;目标”; barrier意为“栅栏;障碍物”; roof意为“房顶”。再结合obstacles所在句子语境不难看出与“obstacles”意思最接近的为barriers。
17.A 推理判断题。由第二段的“Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring.”判断B项错误;由最后一段的“Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world.”可知C项错误;D项中a team sport与文中对parkour的描述相矛盾,所以排除B、C、D三项,选A项。
18.C 细节理解题。从第三段中的“Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.”可以看出最佳答案为C项“他们应该跑到极限为止”。
