What the 1 looks like is more important than what it tastes like. If panies hope to sell food successfully, the food must 2 appetizing.Television advertising of food often uses 3 . Apparently, food looks especially appetizing if it moves. Chocolate sauce looks much more 4 when you see it being poured over ice cream than it does just sitting in a jar. 5 effects also help to sell food: sausages sizzling(咝咝响) in a frying pan are mouth-watering. A TV 6 for a brand of coffee had the sound of coffee percolating(过滤) in the background. The mercial was so 7 that it lasted five years.The 8 of food and its packaging is also very important. If the color looks 9 , people wont eat it. Nobody would normally eat blue bread or drink blue beer. Other 10 food colors are purple, gray, and in some cases, white.How people expect something to taste often influences how it 11 does taste. Researchers gave some mineral water to two groups of people. They told one group that the water was mineral water, and almost all people said, “It tastes 12 .”Then the researchers told the other group that the water was tap water. This group said the water tasted a little funny. The word tap created a(n) 13 image of chlorine(氯).It is the same with 14 . A food manufacturer gave a group of people the same 15 in a glass jar and in a can and asked them to taste it. They all claimed that the product in the glass jar tasted better.So it seems to be true.

There she would hang posters of her musical idols on the wall and sing popular music into a hairbrush that she pretended was a microphone.

Some people in the rain forest and mountains of Venezuela and Brazil do just that. One tribe (部落), the Yanomami, has lived the same way for thousands of years. They only have numbers for one, two and more than two, and they have never invented the wheel. But they have also been called some of “the last free people on earth.”In the late 1920s, researchers found a tribe of people untouched by modern society. This was the first reported meeting with the Yanomami, who were living deep within the South American jungle.Scientists agree that their location deep in the forest helped their culture unchanged. Until recently, most Yanomami still lived in isolated regions. Everything they needed came from the rain forest. They hunted, fished and farmed the land. Then a discovery brought the outside world to them. And along with it came deadly changes.Gold was discovered in Yanomami in the 1970s. By 1987, around 80,000 miners had moved into the area. In a fight to take over the land, they killed some Yanomami. They also brought into new sicknesses, including the mon cold and malaria. Today over 62 percent of Yanomami show signs of malaria.Just as deadly were the results of mining, including polluted streams and cleared forests. Within just seven years their population fell by 20 percent.Today governments and international organizations are looking for ways to protect the Yanomami. The Brazilian government has reserved a large area of land for the tribe. And in 1990, Brazil ordered all the miners out of Amazon region. Yet these things might not be enough. Gold is so valuable that miners keep going back and harming the Yanomamis way of life.31. When was the existence of the Yanomami first discovered ?A. In the 1970s. B. In the late 1920s. C. In 1987.

They starved to death.B. They were killed in the fight.C. Their living environment was destroyed.D. They were killed by the new illnesses brought by miners.35. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The discovery of gold is beneficial to the Yanomami.B. Gold mining made no difference to the Yanomami.C. Miners are a great threat to the protection of the Yanomami.D. Nowadays no miners remain in Amazon Region.C Should people who study science and business pay less for college than people who focus on art and history? That may soon be the case at Floridas state universities. In tough economic times, Florida governor Rick Scott wants to lead college students toward careers that will pay off after graduation. There are more jobs available in Florida in the fields of business, engineering, healthcare, science and technology. So why not encourage students to focus on these “high-demand” subjects by charging less tuition for them? “We assume students go to college because they want to find jobs,” Dale Brill told TFK. He is the head of a group of business people, educators and lawmakers who made the remendation to the governor to keep tuition low for job-friendly areas of academic study, called majors. “We all share the goal of students getting jobs and being productive citizens. Some majors are more valuable than others.” Supporters of the plan say it benefits students, the state and universities. More students will choose these “high-demand” majors and get jobs after graduation. The state will gain an educated workforce that is qualified to fill open jobs. Universities that can show that their graduates are getting jobs will qualify for more funding from the state. But critics of the plan say its unfair to load humanities majorsthose who study literature, philosophy, history and artwith debt while keeping tuition low for so-called “high-demand” majors in business and science. In fact, university professors wrote a letter to Governor Scott arguing that panies have a need for humanities majors with “superior analytical, critical thinking and munication skills.” The letter also warns that if students majoring in history and other humanities subjects are forced to pay higher tuition, they may simply choose to attend universities in other states. Still others argue that the plan sets students up for failure. Students should choose majors based on their interests, skills and talents, rather than on what jobs are available at any given time. Those who choose majors because they are interested in a particular field of studywhether it is engineering, art or literaturewill be more successful and satisfied in their careers.36. Rick Scott wants to charge science students less tuition because_.A. it can attract more students to learn science.B. science subjects are so hard to learn.C. the science students cant afford the expensive tuition.D. science subjects are more valuable than humanities majors.37. In the supporters eyes, how will universities benefit from the plan?A. They will take in more students.B. They will get more money from the government.C. They will educate more qualified graduates.D. They will bee more famous.38. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people are against the plan?A. Its unfair to the humanities students.B. College students majors should be based on interests, skills and gifts.C. The plan may mislead students to choose wrong majors.D. The state will take too heavy a burden.39. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Florida has carried out the policy to charge science students less tuition.B. Science majors have great advantages over humanities majors.C. Florida needs more graduates from science subjects.D. Students should choose their majors according to job opportunities.40. What is the best title of the passage?A. Less tuition for science students in Florida.B. Should college be cheaper for science students?C. Different people, different ideas. D. Why is it cheaper for college science students?DThey wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories (配饰). Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age. Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.”Professor Twigg analyzed family expending(支出) data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the sameat 5 or 6 per cent of spendingthe amount of clothes bought had risen sharply. The professor said, “Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流) style than in previous years. She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. Theres also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.”41. According to Paragraph 2, old women _.A. consider buying clothes a big issueB. buy more clothes than younger womenC. didnt often buy clothes in the pastD. didnt like to wear the latest fashions42. Professor Twigg found that, pared with the 1960s, _.A. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothesD. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%43. What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion？A. They are often ignored by fashion designers. B. They are now more easily influenced by stars. C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age. 44. It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because _.A. they get tired of things more quickly B. TV shows teach them how to change their lookC. they are in much better shape now D. clothes are much cheaper than before 45. Which is the best possible title of the passage?A. Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans B. The More Fashionable, the Less ExpensiveC. Unexpected Changes in FashionD.
