I was forced to 5 popularity long before in a talk I had with my daughter. Margy had to 6 schools when my busy work schedule made it 7 for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, 8 a new school is as easy as spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. However, as the school year 9 to an end, one student after another came to her. They said they would have liked to be friends sooner.
I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been a(n) 10 social success in her new school. That, to me, would have been the 11 that she had betrayed her 12 self in order to become popular.

2【.阅读理解】
In ancient Egypt, a 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 involves 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 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 to 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 usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A.To save customers time. B.To show they are high quality foods.
C.To help sell junk food. D.To sell them at discount prices.
22.According to Paragraph 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.

二.单元语法测试(单项选择)
1.delivered
【详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:你是想把这本书送到家里,还是自己到书店来拿?分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词get,所以空处需用非谓语动词作宾语补足语,空处动词deliver与宾语this book之间是逻辑动宾关系,所以过去分词作宾语补足语,get sth. done“使某事被做”。故填delivered。
2.trapped
【详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:士兵们立即被派往地震灾区,营救被困在废墟中的人们。句中谓语动词为were sent,所以此处的动词trap要以非谓语的形式出现。动词trap和其逻辑主语the people之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词trapped作后置定语,修饰the people。故填trapped。
3.Affected
【详解】
考查过去分词。句意:受一场重病的影响,他不能再清楚地说话,他知道没有康复的希望了。分析句子成分可知,设空处应填非谓语动词做原因状语。affect是及物动词,意为:影响,与主语he是逻辑被动关系,且该动作已经完成,故应用过去分词形式。故填Affected。
4.taken
【解析】
考查“感官动词+宾语+宾补”结构。句意:在非洲两年的医疗服务中,李医生很高兴地看到他的母亲在家被照顾得很好。take与his mother之间为被动关系,故应用过去分词taken作宾补。
5.crowded
【详解】
考查固定短语。句意:气势汹汹的野火控制让加州森林剩下了满是与大树争夺资源的小树。固定短语be crowded with意为“充满,挤满”,在句中省略be动词构成过去分词短语,crowded with small trees作forests的后置定语。故填crowded。
6.permitted
【详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:……那时我是第一个被允许拍摄一个特殊的关于照料野外饥饿的大熊猫的西方电视台记者。分析句子可知,设空处应用非谓语动词作后置定语,逻辑主语TV reporter和permit之间是被动关系,应用过去分词。故填permitted。
7.designed
【详解】
考查过去分词作定语。句意:大多数大学现在为一年级学生提供一门专门设计的课程,帮助他们在学业和个人方面取得成功。分析句子结构可知,course 和design之间是被动关系,故用过去分词形式。故填designed。
8.looking challenged
【详解】
考查动名词和过去分词。动词avoid后要加doing。此处表示避免直接看他的眼睛。用looking;根据语境可知,此处表示不直视他的眼睛,他就不会感到被挑战性。feel为系动词,表示“被挑战”,用过去分词challenged。
9.challenged
【详解】
考查过去分词。句意:我迅速低下身,低下头,避免直视他的眼睛,这样他就不会感到有挑战。根据语境可知,此处表示不直视他的眼睛,他就不会感到被挑战。feel为系动词,此处表示“被挑战”,用过去分词challenged。
10.Employed
【详解】
考查过去分词。句意:他专心读书,没有注意到我进来。分析句子结构,__________ (employ) in reading是分词作原因状语,employ与其逻辑主语he之间是被动关系,用过去分词,句子第一个单词首字母大写,所以填Employed。

Our City in the Future
I suppose our city in the future will be quite different from the city today.
First, our life will probably be quite convenient, as robots will do most of the work we people do today. What human beings have to do is sit in front of the computer screen, monitoring everything in progress. Besides, it is possible that there will be no cars or trains, for everything including human beings can be transported from one place to another through the Internet, which can be done in just a second. The environment is likely to be much better, as no cars are in use then, and the air is bound to be better to breathe. We humans will live in harmony with the environment.
