( )2.I f Mr. Brown and his 8-year-old son have a meal in the hotel, how much should they pay?A. ¥30.B. ¥45.C. ¥60.D. ¥70.( )3.T h e purpose of the passage is _____________ .A. to introduce the hotelB. to make people enjoy their tripsC. to attract more people to live in the hotelD. to make people love the hotelBYou need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车)full of food.What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers(顾客)usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the redstickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these at once. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see and even reach them.Except what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time(and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意),to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait for your turn.So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come out with just the things you want.( )4.Many supermarkets put red stickers on products to______________.A.make them look more beautifulB.make them different from cheaper onesC.make people think the stickers are for menD.make people think they could save money( )5.According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed__________ .A.on the lower shelvesB. on the back shelvesC. on the front shelvesD. on the higher shelves( )6.What is the passage mainly about?A.several rules that every business should followB.several ways supermarkets use to sell more productsC.some advertisements that make customers buy moreD.some advice when people go shopping in supermarkets( )7.Perhaps the writer agrees that________________.A.people like soft and slow music in supermarketsB.things are cheaper in supermarkets than in other shopsC.people should just buy things they need in supermarketsD.people should leave the supermarket with a trolley full of thingsCYou probably think the music that your parents like is old and dull, and the songs on your playlist are much cooler. But here is what sc ientists found: people’s music tastes change with their age, according to a study. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’.We used to think that culture and personality are the only factors(因素)that affect one’s music choice. But researchers at the University of Cambridge got data frommore than 250, 000 people over the past 10 years. They noticed that as people grow, their music taste changes. There are three musical periods as people grow up “exciting”，“popular” and “sophisticated”.The first period comes in the teenage years. People prefer exciting music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be active. But as people move into early adulthood, they hope to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become more fond of popular music, such as pop and R&B, which are usually uplifting and danceable. When middle age comes, things have settled down for most people. In this period they will like more “ sophisticated” music better, s uch as jazz and classical, as well as more catchy music like country and blues. For many, they feel tired because of work and family, and they need relaxing and emotive music.But you must be thinking: “Aren’t there old people who are still into rock music? Of course there are. But Jason Rentfrow, a research member explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We like music for different reasons,” he said, and thus at that age people may listen to music that can remind themselves of their youths.( )8. Which kind of music might teenagers like?A.Country music.B. Classical music.C. Rock music.D. Pop music.( )9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.There are four musical periods as people grow up.B.Middle-aged people hope to build close relationships with others.C.Old people will never like exciting music like rock and punk.D.Music like country and blues can make people relax.( )10. What does the underlined word “catchy” mean in Paragrap h 3?A.可抓到的B.吸引人的C.流行的D.容易理解的( )11. What is the main idea of the passage?A.People like different kinds of music as their age.B.Different people like different kinds of music.C.The most popular kinds of music in the world.D.People should like the same music as their parents.DI will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway on the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy, I always thought people simply bought whatever they need. Whe ther Grandfather know this, I didn’t know. One day he said, “Come, I have something for you. ’’I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal，” he said. “Great，” I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was none.Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is there，” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he sai, “No one can give you what you do fo r yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. The boat was finished. It wasn’t much to look at, but I was proud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.We had to return to America. “You canot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock atStorvassdal.I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.I carved(雕刻)“ 1930” and “1964” on its side and put it back.I returned to the lake in 1968,1971,1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near.My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Clair e said softly, “Grandpa ,someday I’ll come back.” She added, “And I’ll bring my children.”( )12. What lesson did the writer’s grandfather probably teach him?A. Boys should have a toy boat at childhood.B. People can simply buy whatever they need.C. Boys should learn to make a boat out of wood.D. No one can give you what you do for yourself.( )13. The underlined words “we three” in Paragraph 6 refer to_____________ .A. Mother, the boat and me.B. Catherine, Claire and me.C. Grandfather, the boat and me.D. Grandfather , Mother and me.( )14. According to the passage, we can infer that________________ .A.The writer’s grandfather died in 1930.B.Claire understood the meaning of the boat.C.The boat took me back to Norway four times.D.The writer’s mother was bo rn in western Norway.( )15. What’s the best title of the passage?A.The Little Boat And My life.B.The Little Boat And My Parents.C.The Little Boat That Sailed At Storvassdal.D.The Little Boat That Sailed Through Time.四、单词拼写（A）根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。
