26、oints, 1 for each)Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your
27、machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThe other day my son asked me if he could ride up to his elementary school on his bike and meet his friend. He wanted the both of them to ride back to our house so they could play video games and jump on the trampoline(蹦床). I have to admit, part of me wanted t
28、o say no. We can go pick him up or his parents can bring him over here, I thought. But my son is eleven years old now. And after all, I do let him ride his bike to school. But I also drive my daughter to school and I can see him on the way, making sure he is getting there safely.My husband thinks I
29、am too overprotective. I dont dare to let my children walk anywhere without one of us going along. As you pull out of our neighborhood，there is a shopping center across the street. My son always asks if he can ride his bike or walk over to the drugstore by himself. But crossing that street is just t
30、oo dangerous. The cars fly around the corner like theyre driving in a car race. What if he gets hit? What if some teenage bullies are hanging out in the parking lot?I want so much to give my children the freedom that I enjoyed having when I was growing up but I hesitate to do so because there are da
31、ngers around every corner. Too many kidnaps, too many sex offenders. I went online and discovered there are 41 sex offenders in my area alone. I honestly dont think my mom worried about such things when her children were young. Growing up in the 1970s was indeed a different time. I never wore a helm
32、et(头盔) when I rode a bike. We were all over the neighborhood, on our bikes and on foot, coming home for dinner and then back out again until dark. We rode in the back of the truck, didnt wear seatbelts. I walked to and from school every day31.What did the author feel reluctant to let her son do?AMee
33、t his friend.BPlay video games.CRide his bike on streets.DJump on the trampoline.32.What does the author mean when she says “But my son is eleven years old now”?AHe is a bit too young to go out alone.BHe is old enough to be given some freedom now.CHe has reached the legal age for riding a bike.DHe c
34、ant protect himself from road hazards.33.Given her husbands attitude towards bringing up kids, he would most probably _.Adrive his son to school to ensure safetyBfollow his son all the way to school and backCask the other boys parents to bring him over hereDgive his son more freedom in deciding what
35、 to do34.Which of the following is NOT considered by the author as a potential threat to kids?AThe drugstore.BTeenage bullies.CChild abusers.DCars racing by. 35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe social security back in the 1970s was no better than it is today.BTodays children enjoy more
36、 freedom than those in the 1970s.CChildren in the 1970s enjoyed more freedom than those today.DChildren today are more obedient to their parents.36.What is the authors main purpose in writing this passage?ATo show her concern over the increasing crime rate in her neighborhoodBTo compare todays socia
37、l environment with that of the 1970s.CTo describe her hesitation as to how much freedom she should give her son.DTo express her worried about both safety and security in her areaPassage TwoYou may have wondered why the supermarkets are all the same. It is not because the companies that operate them
38、lack imagination. It is because they all aim at persuading people to buy things.In the supermarket, it takes a while for the mind to get into a shopping mode. This is why the area immediately inside the entrance is known as the “decompression zone”. People need to slow down and look around, even if
39、they are regulars. In sales terms this area is bit of a loss, so it tends to be used more for promotion.Immediately inside the first thing shoppers may come to is the fresh fruit and vegetables section. For shoppers, this makes no sense. Fruit and vegetables can be easily damaged, so they should be
40、bought at the end, not the beginning, of a shopping trip. But what is at work here? It turns out that selecting good fresh food is a way to start shopping, and it makes people feel less guilty about reaching for the unhealthy stuff later on.Shoppers already know that everyday items, like milk, are i
41、nvariably placed towards the back of a store to provide more opportunities to tempt customers. But supermarkets know shoppers know this, so they use other tricks, like placing popular items halfway along a section so that people have to walk all along the aisle looking for them. The idea is to boost
42、 “dwell time”: the length of time people spend in a store.Traditionally retailers measure “football”, as the number of people entering a store is known, but those numbers say nothing about where people go and how long they spend there. But nowadays, a piece of technology can fill the gap: the mobile
43、 phone. Path Intelligence, a British company tracked peoples phones at Gunwharf Quays, a large retailer centre in Portsmouthnot by monitoring calls, but by plotting the positions of handsets as they transmit automatically to cellular networks. It found that when dwell time rose 1$ sales rose 1.3%.Su
44、ch techniques are increasingly popular because of a deepening understanding about how shoppers make choices. People tell market researchers that they make rational decisions about what to buy, considering things like price, selection or convenience. But subconscious forces, involving emotion and mem
45、ories, are clearly also at work.37.In Paragraph 2, “decompression zone” is the area meant to _.Aprepare shoppers for the mood of buying Boffer shoppers a place to have a restCencourage shoppers to try new productsDprovide shoppers with discount information38.Putting fruit-and-vegetable section near
