W:David,what do you think the most obvious purpose of advertising is?
M:In my opinion,the main purpose of advertising is to inform the consumer of available services.That is to tell the information of the product to the consumer.
W:I think so,too.And the second purpose?

M:But in general,many purchases are carefully thought out.People usually consider the economy and convenience most when they are buying a product.At other times,the reasons behind a purchase may not be clear to a consumer.
W:Yes,consumers may be influenced by an advertisement on TV showing some sports heroes using the product.They may want to copy their heroes by using the product and so they choose it.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。
A paperless class means that teachers don’t use paper in or after class.All of the students’ homework is posted on a web page,so for each of their papers or essays they have to write,students can go online and read the descriptions of the homework and all their requirements,and then they can type them up and e-mail them.They can also type them up directly on the web.In this way,a teacher can do all the grading for the papers online.It’s easier for teachers because they can just mark something and make it red.It’s much quicker than the traditional way of circling it and writing “spelling”.Once teachers get into the habit of doing it with a mouse,it goes very quickly,and they can also make comments by changing the color or the size of the words,and type directly.Most of the students like it,but there is a small minority who don’t.When they are late,or whenever they want to just slip a paper under the teacher’s door,they can’t do that,because if their paper is late,the computer doesn’t lie.The delayed papers will be honestly marked out.
17.How many ways can a student hand in his homework in a paperless class?
A.One. B.Two. C.Three.
答案:B
18.Traditionally,how can a teacher comment on students’ homework?
A.Mark something and make it red.
B.Circle something and write “spelling”.
C.Change the color or the size of the words.
答案:B
19.Why do some students dislike the idea of handing in homework online?
A.They can slip a paper under the teacher’s door.
B.They can’t use the account any more.
C.They can’t get away with a delayed paper.
答案:C
20.What’s the advantage of a paperless class?
A.Quicker grading.
B.More encouragement.
C.Fewer mistakes.
答案:A

According to the most recent count,more than 6,500 homeless people sleep on the street or in shelters in San Francisco,and there are only eight shower facilities(设施)specifically available to the homeless,and most of these have just one or two stalls(淋浴间)and aren’t open every day.Now San Francisco-based company Lava Mae,is trying to change that with a simple but smart idea—turning retired city buses into mobile showers for the homeless.The idea known as Lava Mae,is a response to the need of the homeless in the city.
It all started two years ago when Sandoval got in a cab after a meeting in the SoMa district of San Francisco,where the homeless mainly lived.“My driver turned around and said,‘Welcome to the land of broken dreams.’” Then Sandoval awoke from her imagination and started to really look at the people around her.“A woman I passed was crying and saying that she would never be clean,”Sandoval said.She took what the woman said as a sign that she should focus on the problem of hygiene(卫生),one of the most pressing needs for the homeless.
After doing some research,Sandoval hit on the idea of a mobile unit that could be equipped with shower facilities.According to the company’s founder Doniece Sandoval,every bus will be renewed and equipped with two separate private areas,each with a shower stall,sink,changing areas,toilet and bench.Sandoval says that if everyone sticks to a five-minute shower,a single Lava Mae bus could provide service for about 100 people during each 8-to-10-hour shift.
The project has been several years in the making as it has not been easy to get officials to agree.In addition,it is also difficult to ask the bus company to donate buses.Now she has reached an agreement with a bus company,which will donate the buses being retired in the next four years.
While Lava Mae is now focused on the city of San Francisco,there is no reason that the idea cannot be spread all over the world.
【语篇导读】许多无家可归的人无法洗浴,这使得他们难以忍受。为此,桑多瓦尔及其公司排除一切困难帮助这些穷人,为无家可归者提供由报废的公交车改造而成的移动浴室。这项工作虽然困难重重,但是已经取得了很大的突破。
24.The main idea of this passage is that .

B.the bus company shows great support to Lava Mae
C.Lava Mae creates shower service to help the homeless
D.Sandoval made great achievements in her career

A.The benefit of her company
B.The requirement of the government
C.The poor woman that she met in SoMa district

27.What is the author’s attitude about Lava Mae’s development?
A.Positive. B.Negative.
C.Objective. D.Uncertain.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“...there is no reason that the idea cannot be spread all over the world.”可以推知,作者对这项工程是积极肯定的。

Steve knew he’d been adopted as a baby,and when he turned 18,in 2003,he decided he’d try to track down his birth mother.The agency from which he’d been adopted gave him his mother’s name,Tallady.But online searches didn’t turn up any results about it,and Steve had to let it go.
In 2007,though,he searched for the name again online.This time,the search results included a home address near the Lowe’s store where Steve,then 22,worked as a deliveryman.When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss,his boss said,“You mean Tallady,who works here?”
Steve and Tallady,a cashier,had said hello to each other a few times at the store,but they’d never really talked.He hadn’t even known her name.Steve thought there was no possible way she was his mother though they shared the same name.For a few months,Steve avoided Tallady.“I wasn’t sure how to approach her,” he told a local reporter.Finally,the agency volunteered to arrange their reunion.
When Tallady realized that the nice guy she’d been waving at was his son,she sobbed.She’d always hoped to meet her birth son one day.Later that day,mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearby bar.She’d given him up for adoption in 1985,when she was 23.“I wasn’t ready to be a mother,” she told him.Married with two other children,Tallady says,“I have a complete family now.”
【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Steve被收养二十多年后和生母团聚的故事。

A.the agency didn’t give him any help
B.there was no information about his mother
C.his mother didn’t respond to him online
D.he missed the information about his mother
答案:B
解析:细节推理题。根据第一段说明可知,Steve想通过在线搜索来找到生母的信息,但网上没有出现结果,所以他只能放弃。
29.What did Steve find about his mother online in 2007? .
A.Her home address B.Her full name
C.Her boss’s name D.Her new job
答案:A
解析:细节判断题。根据第二段第二句可知,2007年时他搜索到了一个家庭住址。
30.Why did Steve avoid Tallady for months?
A.Because she didn’t want to talk to him.
B.Because he was not fully prepared for the reunion.
C.Because she was difficult to approach.

答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容,尤其是他告诉记者的那句话,不难看出Steve对于要和他妈妈团聚还没有作好充分的心理准备。
31.The best title for the passage is “ ”.
A.The love of mother B.An unexpected meeting
C.The power of the Internet D.An unusual reunion
答案:D
解析:文章标题题。文章介绍了Steve和其生母团聚的过程。这是孩子在被收养二十多年后的团聚,故不同寻常。D选项作为标题较为切题。
D
In October,Ubayd Steed,a sixth grader in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania,was taking a math test when he noticed a classmate looking at his paper.“I quickly turned my paper over,”he said.Later that day,Ubayd met the cheater and told him not to do it again.
Unfortunately,Ubayd’s experience is not unusual.Whether it’s kids copying classmates’ answers during tests or friends sharing homework,cheating happens in schools every day.Experts say the behavior starts in the lower grades.Surveys show that one in three elementary students admits to cheating.
Jacob Harder,a fourth grader in Ware,Massachusetts,has had classmates ask to copy his homework.“I wouldn’t want to just tell them the answers,”he says.So instead,he explains the assignment and encourages his classmates to do it themselves.
But many kids find it hard to say no.“I hear from kids all the time,‘I can’t say no to a friend,’”says Eric Anderman,a professor at The Ohio State University who studies cheating in school.He says it’s important to say no from the start.“Then you nip it in the bud,and the other kid gets the message,”he says.Plus,he points out,“a real friend is not going to disown you because he or she couldn’t copy your math homework.”?
The kids doing the copying may feel they need to cheat to be accepted by other kids.And some students may cheat simply because others do.“If you’re in an atmosphere where cheating is common,you may think that if you don’t cheat,you’re at a disadvantage,”says Michael Josephson,founder of the Josephson Institute of Ethics.
But Josephson says students shouldn’t think that way.“There are a lot of things kids do,”he says.“You have to decide what kind of person you’re going to be.”
When school becomes too challenging,Anderman suggests going to the teacher rather than relying on the work of others.“It’s good to ask for help,”he says.
【语篇导读】本文是议论文。文章讨论了学生作弊的行为。
32.Ubayd’s experience serves as a(n) .
A.explanation B.introduction
C.comment D.background
答案:B
解析:写作目的题。根据第二段开头的“Unfortunately,Ubayd’s experience is not unusual.”可以看出,作者在第一段讲述Ubayd的经历是想引出关于学生作弊行为的讨论。
33.We learn from the text that cheating in elementary school .
A.results from tough assignments
B.is popular among students
C.mainly happens during tests
D.is unusual in lower grades
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...is not unusual...cheating happens in schools every day.”及“...one in three elementary students admits to cheating.”可知,作弊在小学生中非常普遍。
34.The underlined part “nip it in the bud” in Paragraph 4 probably means .
A.face the difficulty it caused B.realize its disadvantages
C.stop it at an early stage D.make it disappear
答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线部分前的“it’s important to say no from the start”可推测,这位教授建议学生从一开始就对作弊行为说不,“把它消灭于萌芽中”。
35.Who advises kids to turn to teachers for help when they fall behind in studies?
A.Ubayd Steed. B.Jacob Harder.
C.Eric Anderman. D.Michael Josephson.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“When school becomes too challenging,Anderman suggests going to the teacher rather than relying on the work of others.”可知答案。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How much money do you really need to be happy?
So many of us work long,hard hours to provide for our families and children—often long hours away from home,maybe taking on extra jobs at times or hoping to get a raise in an effort to make our lives richer financially. 36 But is there a point at which trying to earn extra money can be counterproductive?
In the Sunday Review of The New York Times,Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton attempt to answer this question.
37 People who earn a good living are often happier than people who live in poverty.Having extra money can certainly improve the quality of our life by providing extra food and objects.
But the truth is that earning additional income will actually not lead to extra happiness,once you have already attained a “comfortable standard” where you have what you need to function and be content. 38 Here in the U.S.,the standard falls around $75,000.Researchers found that higher family incomes were related to better moods on a day-to-day basis.However,the positive effects of money had no effect on people’s happiness and moods after a level of $75,000 was attained.
39 Beyond a strong work ethic(道德标准),or the desire to excel and compete with others,it appears that our ideas about money and happiness have gone wrong.Dunn and Norton explain that the idea that life would be happier with double the salary did not translate into any measurable happiness. 40 People who earned $50,000 were only 9 percent more content than those making $25,000.
A.Then why do we work so hard?
B.What we do with our money is important.
C.Twice the money did not lead to twice the happiness.
D.It seems so many of us just aren’t content with what we have now.
E.There certainly is a relationship between your salary and happiness.
F.The “comfortable standard” can be quite variable based on where you live.
G.People who spend money on others rather than themselves are happier in the long run.
答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文是议论文。文章论述了钱与快乐不成正比。
36.D 解析:D项与上文的“often long hours away from home...richer financially”相呼应。
7.E 解析:E项是针对第一段所提问题的回答;下文“People who earn a good living are often happier than people who live in poverty”进一步说明了E项的内容。
38.F 解析:F项与上文的“comfortable standard”相呼应;下文“Here in the U.S.,the standard falls around $75,000”是对F项的举例说明。
39.A 解析:A项在此起承上启下的作用,引出人们关于金钱和快乐的错误观念。
40.C 解析:C项与上文的“the idea that life would be happier...measurable happiness”及下文的“People who earned $50,000 were only 9 percent more content than those making $25,000”相呼应。

答案与解析:
61.terribly 解析:此处用副词修饰后面的shy,作状语。
62.fixed 解析:此处是with+名词+过去分词的复合结构。词组fix one’s eyes on“集中注意力于”,因此填fixed。
63.choice 解析:have no choice but to do“除了做某事别无选择”,因此填名词形式。
64.lay 解析:整个文章用一般过去时来叙述过去发生的事,此处lie表示“在于”,过去式为lay。
65.when 解析:when引导时间状语从句。
66.listeners 解析:结合句意及物主代词my,后面用名词复数。
67.it 解析:此处是一个固定词组,make it“成功”,因此填it。
68.disappeared 解析:根据语境可知,此处表达作者的恐惧消失,故用disappeared。
69.to 解析:on one’s way to“在去往……路上”。
70.and 解析:句意:克服它然后我们就能达到目标。此处是祈使句+and+陈述句结构。

参考范文:
Dear Dr.Smith,
I am Li Hua,a student from Class 6,Grade 3.I’m writing to express my opinion on the new school rule made last week.
According to the rule,all students are forbidden to eat out during school days.It says that the food we buy outside the campus isn’t healthy and our safety is not guaranteed.However,we find the food sold in the street more delicious and cheaper.Besides,the variety of meals the school canteen supplies is too limited.So I hope we are allowed to buy food outside or some measures will be taken to improve the food in the school canteen.
Thank you for reading my letter.Please take my opinion into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
