第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分4 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )0分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In ancient Egypt, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品) later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
21. Why do stores u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sually display fruits and vegetables in the first section
A. To save customers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )times. B. To show they are high quality foods.
C. To help sel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l junk food. D. To sell them at discount prices.
22. According to Pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy
A. Opening the store early in the morning.
B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C. Inviting customers to play music.
D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
23. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove
A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.
D. A good first impression increases sales.
24. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C. To report researches on customer behavior.
D. To show dishonest business practices.

Across Britain ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.
Mothers have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors, they would earn as much as￡172,000 a year.
The study looked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.
By analyzing the n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )umbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labor, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jibs”, with psychologist(心理学家) a close second.
It also asked mothers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.
Over a third o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.
The study shows ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing(投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.
29. How much would a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister
A.￡30,000. B.￡142,000.
C.￡172,000. D.￡202,000.
30. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .
A. emotional demand B. low pay for work
C. heavy workload D. lack of training
31. What is stressed in the last paragraph
A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.
B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.
C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.
D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.
32. What can we conclude from the study
A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.
B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.
C. Mothers’ labor is of a higher value than it is realized.
D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.
D
Nothing could stop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every wee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes(甜瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.
As the veget ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker（高压锅）and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.
33. Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly
A. To earn some money for the family. B. To collect manure for his crops.
C. To get rid of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the terrible smell. D. To set a good example to us.
34. What can we infer about Dad’s stew
A. It is popular a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mong the neighbors. B. It contains honey and vegetables.
C. It looks very wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nderful. D. It tastes quite delicious.
35. What doe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean
A. To attract B. To upset C. To air D. To shut

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分4 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )0分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In ancient Egypt, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品) later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
21. Why do stores u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sually display fruits and vegetables in the first section
A. To save customers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )times. B. To show they are high quality foods.
C. To help sel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l junk food. D. To sell them at discount prices.
22. According to Pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy
A. Opening the store early in the morning.
B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C. Inviting customers to play music.
D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
23. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove
A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.
D. A good first impression increases sales.
24. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C. To report researches on customer behavior.
D. To show dishonest business practices.

Across Britain ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.
Mothers have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors, they would earn as much as￡172,000 a year.
The study looked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.
By analyzing the n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )umbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labor, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jibs”, with psychologist(心理学家) a close second.
It also asked mothers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.
Over a third o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.
The study shows ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing(投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.
29. How much would a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister
A.￡30,000. B.￡142,000.
C.￡172,000. D.￡202,000.
30. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .
A. emotional demand B. low pay for work
C. heavy workload D. lack of training
31. What is stressed in the last paragraph
A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.
B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.
C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.
D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.
32. What can we conclude from the study
A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.
B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.
C. Mothers’ labor is of a higher value than it is realized.
D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.
D
Nothing could stop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every wee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes(甜瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.
As the veget ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker（高压锅）and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.
33. Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly
A. To earn some money for the family. B. To collect manure for his crops.
C. To get rid of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the terrible smell. D. To set a good example to us.
34. What can we infer about Dad’s stew
A. It is popular a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mong the neighbors. B. It contains honey and vegetables.
C. It looks very wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nderful. D. It tastes quite delicious.
35. What doe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean
A. To attract B. To upset C. To air D. To shut
