第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节：（共10小题；每

小题2分，满分20 分）ATom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he

noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.

This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company

of Philadelphia for a historical treasure — a 120-page diary kept 190 years

ago by Deborah Logan, “a woman who knew everybody in her day,” James

Green, the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.

Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also

includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington, D. C. in the

war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as

“perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. George Washington,

she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man, and praised her

excellent English.

The adventure of the lost book began on September 4 when Cory

Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor (祖先) to

the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home

for the diary.

Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “about

five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show

it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious

book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.

Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city,

with no luck. “I’ve felt sick since then,” Luxmoore told reporters.

According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the

office building. Tom Brennan received a reward of ＄1,000, Philadelphia

gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters, “It’swonderful news. I’m on high.”

11. This article mainly tells about the story of ______.

A. a lost diary B. Deborah Logan C. Cory Luxmoore D. the

Library Company

12. From the text, we learn that diary is now owned by ______.A. Tom Brennan B. an unknown person C. a Philadelphia magazin D. the

Library Company of Philadelphia

13. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “ on high” ?

A. delighted B. amazed C. enthusiastic D. frightened

B

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 (广告公司) . 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
