　　(2016·辽宁鞍山一中高三模拟)

　　The economic downturn appears to go better with a meal and a glass of wine，according to a survey which shows that customers outside Europe and the United States do not intend to cut back on eating and having fun.

　　The survey，conducted by MasterCard and released on Wednesday，says nearly 70 percent of people surveyed in many countries in Asia Pacific and the Middle East see eating and entertainment to be their top spending priority(优先) in the next six months.

　　Fashion，fitness and wellness，children’s education，electronic goods and travelling round up the top­five unnecessary purchasing priorities for the majority of more than 9,200 people surveyed.

　　“Socializing is important in Asia and the Middle East，and it costs a relatively small amount of money that’s affordable in this global economic crisis，” Yuwa Hedrick­Wong，MasterCard’s Asia­Pacific economic adviser，told reporters.“Having dinner and drinks is not buying a car，” he said.

　　According to the MasterCard Worldwide Index of Customer Purchasing Priorities，just over half the customers said they would continue to spend on unnecessary items over the next six months.

　　But nearly two­thirds said they would cut back on buying extras，with an overall 72 percent planning to increase their savings，or money set aside for lean times.

　　China，whose economy has not been as badly hit by the downturn as other nations，has the highest number of people still willing to spend at the same levels，followed by the oil­rich Gulf Arab countries of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

　　A minority—or under 10 percent in Asia Pacific and less than 12 percent in the Middle East—are spending more during these tough times.

　　“People are still spending on small and big­ticket items，but they’re spending less，and are attracted by bargains，” Hedrick­Wong said.“Belt­tightening is the order of the day.”

　　The survey was conducted in March and April in 21 countries all over the world.

　　5．Why do customers in Asia Pacific and the Middle East NOT cut back on eating and having fun?

　　A．Because their governments have taken effective measures.

　　B．Because customers in these countries earn more than those in Europe.

　　C．Because their countries have been hit less badly by the economic downturn.

　　D．Because the number of rich people in these countries is larger than those in the United States.

　　6．Which of the following statements about the consuming situation is TRUE?

　　A．People in England keep their spending at the same levels.

　　B．A majority of people surveyed have spent less money on extras.

　　C．A minority of customers in Asia Pacific and Middle East spend more.

　　D．Kuwait has the second largest number of people still spending as usual following Saudi Arabia.

　　7．What is the author’s attitude toward the future of economy?

　　A．Positive.

　　B．Negative.

　　C．Pessimistic.

　　D．Objective.

　　8．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．Some spend the same in the crisis.

　　B．Eating helps forget the economic downturn.

　　C．People tend to spend less in the economic crisis.

　　D．Eating is important outside Europe and the US.

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　Getting along well with parents is a big problem for most teenagers.Teenagers are gradually getting more mature—or at least they think they are.So they can’t wait to get themselves free from their so­called bondage.Their parents are in their 40s and they are annoyed by their ageing.

　　What’s more，
