The owner of the passage advertises ________.A. to introduce the new sectionsB. to announce the new sections of the TimesC. to make known his new plan of the TimesD. to persuade people to buy the Times3, Packaging（包装）is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products －or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy（经济）Size”or “Family Size”printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.1. As used in the first paragraph, the word“motivate”most probably mean _______.A. making one believe what he does is justB. providing a story that makes one movedC. supplying a thought or feeling that makes one actD. making one deep in thought2. “A buyer will get something for nothing”most probably means that ________.A. a buyer will not get what he wants toB. a buyer will gain more than he losesC. a buyer will get what he pays forD. a buyer will get something useful free of charge3. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. On seeing a well-designed container, a buyer often neglects （忽略）what is inside it.B. A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container.C. Children are often made to buy a product by its package with attractive pictures.D. Package is often a successful advertisement.4. What suggestion does the author give in the passage?A. The best choice for buyer is to get a product in a plain package.B. A buyer should get what he needs most.C. Do not buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish.D. The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product.4, For some time it has been widely accepted that babies learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological（生理的）“drives”as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful effects.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward”the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began go study he children'sresponses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “turned on ”the lights －and indeed that they are able to learn quite difficult turns to bring about this result, for example, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.Papousek's lights were placed directly in front of the babies and he noticed that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile”when the lights came on. Papousek concluded that it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a basic human need to make sense of the world and bring it under control.1. According to the author, babies learn to do things which________.A. are directly related to pleasureB. will meet their physical needsC. will bring them a feeling of successD. will satisfy their curiosity2. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby ________.A. would make learned responses when it saw the milkB. would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC. would continue the simple movements without being given milkD. would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink3. In Papousek's experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _______.A. have the lights turned onB. be rewarded with milkC. please their parentsD. be praised4. The babies would “smile”at the lights because _______.,A. they need not turn back to watch the lightsB. they succeeded in “turning on”the lightsC. the lights were directly related to some basic “drives”D. the sight of the lights was interesting5,The house itself had been sold that morning. Now it was the turnof the contents. The crowd of dealers, collectors,bargain-hunters and plain sale-goers walked about examining this and that and generally having a last look round before the excitement of the sale. Every piece was numbered and listed, and everyone had a copy of the list. The sale was to take place in the largest room, the sitting room, which had been prepared. A few people were already waiting there.The room was half full of chairs. These carried the highest numbers, so that they could be put to ordinary use till near the end. In front of the fireplace stood the salesman's desk, a box-like piece of furniture with four steps. At work, the salesman stood a meter above everyone. He was trained to notice the slightest movement of a hand, an eye, or even an eyebrow, any of which might signal a bid. Beside the desk were a table and two chairs for the clerk and the cashier. Many of the sale goods were already here, some from the bedrooms looking out of place.Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket. The salesman came in and climbed on to his stand. His assistants followed him in and took their places.“Ladies and gentlemen, ”the salesman said, “I have been informed to tell you that everything must be sold this afternoon. No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything. We are now ready to begin, and we do so with Lot Number One …”At this point two strong-looking men lifted on to the central table a large wooden chest. It seemed too big for a modern house.“Lot Number One is an oak chest. Now what am I bid for this fine old chest? Do I hear ￡20? No? ￡10 then. Do I hear ￡10? Come along, ladies and gentlemen, this chest is solid oak. The wood alone is worth ￡40, so make me an offer for Lot Number One, just to get us started. ”His eyes swung round the room.“One pound, ”a woman's voice called.“One pound I'm bid, ”said the salesman eagerly, “for this splendid chest. Any advance on ￡1 now? One pound I'm bid. Do I hear two? No? Going at one pound then. No advance on ￡1? Goingat ￡1. One pound. ”He brought his wooden hammer down sharply on to his desk. Sold for ￡1 to Mrs. Duke.Mrs. Duke is a dealer in second-hand furniture.1. The pieces sold last were ________.A. the chairsB. those at the highest pricesC. the biggest thingsD. those with the lowest numbers2. What use was made of the kitchen table?A. The salesman stood on it to conduct the sale.B. It was where the clerk and the cashier worked.C. It served as the stand for the things being sold.D. Two men sat on it during the business.3. As it is used in the text, the term “a bid”refers to _______.A. the present value of an articleB. the agreed price of an articleC. the added value of an articleD. the price offered for an article4. Why do you suppose Mrs. Duke wanted Lot Number One?A. Because it was low in price.B. She hoped to sell it for a nice profit（利润）C. She bought it in order to start the sale.D. Because she is a collector of old oak chests.6,第一小题情景作文假定你是李明，请你给曾在你校讲过课的英籍教师Mr. Wood写封短信，告诉他你校将举行一次万人赛跑活动，热情邀请他前来参加，并请他收到信后通过电话（63541234）告知能否准时参加。

高中英语2008年全国高考模拟试题2008年浙江省绍兴市高三教学质量调测试题 2019.091,ABC News anchor (节目主持人) Peter Jennings died on Aug.7, 2005 at home in New York after a brief battle with lung cancer. ABC News anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings’death, it is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking. “I want to give a message,”Barbara Walters said. “If you have kids who are smoking, tell them that we lost Peter.”Lung cancer is the worst killer in America, taking more lives each year than any other cancer, according to the America Cancer Society. About 160,440 Americans die each year of cancer, making up 28 percent of all cancer deaths. More than 87 percent of lung cancers are smoking related.Dr. Derek Raghavan, director of the Cleveland Clinic’s Taussing Cancer Center, said that once a person stops smoking, he starts getting better. Three to five years after quitting, the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by half. Warning signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term smoking. The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesn’t clear up, coughing up blood and sharp chest pains.People with those symptoms should see a doctor. Raghavan saidthere have been promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer, including uses of radiation and surgery and drugs. “But the fact is that stopping smoking is the most important thing we can do,” Raghavan said. “There is no treatment that even comes close.”1. Anchor Peter Jennings died of lung cancer which was possibly caused by _____.A. his bad eating habitB. overmuch workC. long-term smokingD. the old age2. The first paragraph mentioned Peter Jennings’ death in order to _____.A. make him the main character of the passage.B. warn the smokers of the danger of smokingC. introduce the topic to be talked aboutD. make him better-known than before3. The underlined word “quitting”in the fourth paragraph probably refers to _____.A. doing more exerciseB. giving up smokingC. getting over lung cancerD. staying in hospital4. To fight against lung cancer, what matters much to smokers is _____.A. to receive the treatment of lung cancerB. to do exercise regularlyC. to see a doctor in timeD. to stop smoking2,Comets（彗星）orbiting a distant star have been found to contain water, the first time the ingredient(成份) considered key to life has been discovered in objects circling a star other than our sun. The discovery, announced by scientists, adds weight to the theory that other planetary（行星的）systems may be necessary to the formation of life as we know it.Scientists have no way of knowing whether life ever existed on any comets or planets orbiting this particular star, known as CW Leonis and located some 3,000 trillion miles (4,800 trillion kilometers) from Earth in the constellation Leo(狮子座).But they are certain that no life could exist there now. That is because as it burns out the last of its nuclear fuel, the star has swelled（膨胀） and increased in luminosity（发光度）, engulfing(吞没) nearby objects and melting comets in orbits as distant as Neptune is from the sun-releasing the water that astronomers spotted using a radio telescope in out space. “ The existence of these bodies is measured through their destruction(毁灭)” said Gary Melnick, chief scientist on the project and an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Mr. Melnick said the discovery was of particular importance because if there was a reservoir of water farther from the star, there could have been water closer to the star, bolstering theideas that life may have existed outside our solar system. Comets are believed to have helped build life on Earth, Mr. Melnick and other scientists said. Besides bringing water to the oceans, they are also thought to have transported important chemicals as they went through Earth’s atmosphere in past eons(远古时代). “Comets are some of the smaller bodies in the solar system and form the seeds of planets themselves,” said Saavik Ford, a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University who first suggested that the water may have come from evaporating(蒸发的) comets. “The fact that we found water is interesting because it is necessary for the formation of life.1. According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT true?A. No life ever existed on any comets or planets orbiting CW Leonis.B. Neptune is a planet which orbits the sun.C. Water has been found beyond our solar system.D. CW Leonis belongs to constellation Leo.2. The underlined word “bolstering” in paragraph 6 means _____.A. objectingB. inferringC. denyingD. supporting3. What would be the best title for the text?A. Water is necessary for life.B. Water found in comets.C. New discovery in spaceD. Comets and stars.4. We can infer from the passage _____.A.

The head just rests on the pillow’s “arm muscles”.“My grandmother used to say that there is no more comfortable pillow than another person,” said the firm president, Tomoki Kakehashi. “So I thought that maybe people would want to sleep on a pillow shaped like an arm.”The pillows, on sale only in Japan for the moment, cost 8,500 yen(around US$80) each and come with shirt-or shirt-shaped pillow covers in blue, pink or green.1.

I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty.
