题目内容

12．Catherine was seated in the sofa，totally ________ the book about youth and love．（　　）
A．absorbing inB．absorbed inC．absorbing onD．absorbed on

分析 Catherine坐在沙发上，完全专注于这本关于青春与爱的书中．

解答 答案是B．本题考查分词做状语；题干中的关键短语be absorbed in表示"专注于，全神贯注于"，故C和D介词搭配错误；英语中很多类似的"be+过去分词+to do/介词/从句"的结构往往表示逻辑主语的状态，只需要去掉be动词，用过去分词短语做状语、定语或补语，故本题用过去分词短语作状语，选B．

点评 首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．

8．It is said that there's no such things as a free lunch，but even if you manage to bag a bargain meal，it will not taste as good as a more expensive choice，according to scientists．
A new study has found that restaurant goers who pay more for the food is tastier than offered for a smaller price．The experts think that people tend to associate cost with quality and this changes their perception（感知）of how food tastes．
Scientists at Cornell University studied the eating habits of 139people who enjoy an Italian buffet in a restaurant．The price of the food was set by the researchers at either 4or8for the all-you-can-eat meal．Customers were asked to rate how good the food tasted，the quality of the restaurant and to leave their names．
The experiment showed that the people who paid 8enjoyedtheirmeal11%morethanthosewhoatethe"cheaper"buffet．Interestinglythosethatpaidforthe4buffet said they felt guiltier about loading up their plates and felt that they overate．However，the scientists said that both groups ate around the same quantity of food in total．
Brian Wansink，a professor of consumer behavior at the university，said："we were fascinated to find that pricing has little effect on how much one eats，but a huge effect on how you interpret the experience．"He thinks that people enjoyed their food more as they associated cost with quality and that small changes to a restaurant can change how tasty people find their meals．
In a previous study，researchers from the university showed that people who eat in bright lighting consume more than eat in less brightly lit areas．

28．We can learn from the passage thatA．
A．there were 139subjects involved in the new study
B．a free lunch might be as delicious as you expected
C．the high pricing will change the exact taste of the food
D．in the experiment，the price of the food ranged from 4 to10

With Teachers'Day draw near，I would like to express my thanks to Ms．Li，who taught me English last year．At that time，I was having a trouble studying English and my scores fell．

6．Henry Ford，the famous U．S．inventor and car manufacturer，once said，"The business of America is business．''By this he meant that the U．S．way of life is based on the values of the business world．
    Few would argue with Ford's statement．A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business．For example，nearly every newspaper has a business section，in which the deals and projects，finances and management，stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily．In addition，business news can appear in every other section．Most national news has an important financial aspect to it．Welfare，foreign aid，the federal budget，and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by  business．Moreover，business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places．The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as"the entertainment industry''or"show business．''
    The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity（繁荣） that business has brought to U．S．1ife．One of the most important reasons why so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job．Jobs are produced in abundance because the U．S．economic system is driven by competition．People believe that this system creates more wealth，more jobs，and a materially better way of life．
    The negative side of Henry Ford's statement，however，can be  seen when the word business is taken to mean big business．And the term big business--referring to the biggest companies，is seen in opposition to labor．Throughout U．S．history working-people have had to fight hard for higher wages，better working conditions，and the fight to form unions．Today，many of the old labor disputes（分歧） are over，but there is still some employee anxiety．Downsizing--the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high--creates feelings of insecurity for many．

7．When I was nine years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad．But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything．I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why．He always answered，"Son，if you want to catch a fish，you have to think like a fish．"I remember being even more upset then，because"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish．Besides，I reasoned，how could what I think influence what a fish does？
As I got a little older，I began to understand what my dad really meant．So，I read some books on fish．And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings．I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature．That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer．Besides，water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade…The more I understood fish，the more I became effective at finding and catching them．
When I grew up and entered the business world，I remember hearing my first boss say，"We all need to think like sales people．"But it didn't completely make sense．My dad never once said，"If you want to catch a fish，you need to think like a fisherman．"What he said was，"You need to think like a fish．"Years later，with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me，I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers．It is not an easy job．I will show you how in the following chapters．
