A [2015 .江淮名校高三第二次联考] My old digital camera broke down, so I wanted to buy a new one. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the Internet, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an as?sistant, "Can I have one of those? " He looked perturbed(不安的)."Do you want to try it first? "he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. "Do 1 need to?" I replied, "There's nothing wrong with it. " This made htm look a bit offended and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it," he said encouragingly. "Compare it with the others."

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly differ?ent prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and pos?sibly H into account at the same time. But when I had fin-ished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice , the clever choice* and the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupt?ed to ask whether I needed to buy a carry case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine. 

  1. The  shop  assistant  insisted  that  the  writer should

A.     trust him and stop asking questions

B.     try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

C.     get more information about different companies

D.     compare the camera he had chosen with the others

2. What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph 2)?

 A.     He should get a 50% discount.

B.      The price of the camera would soon fall.

C.      The quality of the camera was not good.

D.     The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

3.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he_________ .

 A.     knew very little about it

B.     wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

C.     didn't trust the shop assistant

D.     had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers

4.It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's
opinion, ________ .

 A.     we waste too much money on cameras

B.     cameras have become an important part of our daily life

C.     we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product

D.     famous companies care more about profit than quality

A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshipping Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Min-ho as demigods (被神化的人物).Chinese denizens always have different opinions over Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that pro?grammes from the neighbouring country are now enjo?ying a new round of popularity in China. And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came from the Star , the Korean TV series.

You Who Came from the Star and The Heirs (《继承者们》)have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia. Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero in You Who Came from the Star was a hard-to-get item on Am?azon for a while.

The two TV programmes have several common ele?ments M) : a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves the heroine blindly and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programmes describe the purity of love, which is expressed through a kiss or a warm hug. Per?haps that's the secret of their success; perhaps people still like Cinderella-type stories.

The widening wealth gap is a matter of social con?cern both inKoreaandChina, and the challenges that young people face in their hope for a better life might have caused many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men. This is precisely what the popular Ko?rean TV dramas describe. In fact > Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the market's demands.

Many denizens even said at an earlier time that Ko?rean TV dramas had become popular because of their stereotyped (模式化的)themes: traffic accidents, canc?er and other incurable diseases. But all that has changed with the success of You Who Came from the Star and The Heirs , which Chinese directors can use as exam?ples, as well as inspiration, to improve their produc?tions,

1.Which is NOT included in the elements for the suc?cess of Korean dramas?

D.The heroine's blind love with the rich.

2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means that they are designed to .

The secret to a better cup of morning coffee might simply be choosing the right coloured coffee mug(杯).

The colour of a coffee mug can have something to do with the way coffee tastes, according to a recent study, which was conducted in Australia, and tested the influence that three different coloured mugs—one white, one blue, and one clear glass―had on the perception(感知)of different tastes. The researchers served 18 participants the same cup of cof?fee, in one of the three similarly shaped but differently col?oured containers, and then asked them to rate their sweet?ness, smell, bitterness, quality, and acceptability.

It turns out specifically that the white mug was associat?ed with a more intense (浓的)or bitter tasting cup of coffee, and the clear glass mug was not. The blue mug, meanwhile, proved to be "kind of an in-between. ,, The opposite was true for perceived sweetness―participants noted less sweetness when drinking from the white mug than they did when drink?ing from both the blue and clear glass mugs.

Research published this year shows that the colour of a plate has a clear effect on taste intensity and sweetness. And the colour red specifically has even been associated with lower levels of consumption.

A red strawberry looks redder when placed against a white plate than it does against a black one. And there are as?sociations with that redness that in turn can affect taste, Spence explains. "Red might indicate heightened sweetness, because red fruits tend to be more ripe than green fruits," he said. And that indication can be enough to cause a large difference in taste.

In the case of coffee, specifically, the researchers believe that the colour brown might be something people associate with bitterness.  "The white mug may have influenced the perceived brownness of the coffee and this, in turn, may have influenced the perceived intensity and sweetness of the cof-fee," the researchers wrote. That would help explain why clear glass coffee mugs tended to have the opposite effect.

5.After being served the coffee, the participants were asked to_________ ,

 A.     distinguish the colours of the mugs

B.      exchange the ideas about the tastes

C.      judge the mug's influence on the coffee

D.     give an overall description of the coffee

6.Participants considered the coffee in the white mugs

 A.     the bitterest

B.     the least intense

C.     the sweetest

D.     neither intense nor bitter

7. According to Spence, a white container could .

 A.     get the fruit in it riper

B.     keep the taste of food inside it

C.     make the red fruit in it look even redder

D.     reduce the sweetness of the fruit in it

8. If you prefer a clear mug for drinking coffee, it might indi?cate that you .

 A.     don't mind the colour of coffee

B.     would like a sweeter taste of coffee

C.     are accustomed to the bitterness of coffee

D.     are interested in the brownness of the coffee

There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 per cent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.

It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it tookFrance115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 per cent to 14 per cent. It is esti?mated to takeChinaa mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for gov?ernments is that the longer people live, the more likeli?hood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possi?ble, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.

Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.

Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视)in employment. Life-long learning programmes need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.

Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

To achieve equality in such matters will take con?siderable time and effort. One thing is sure: there is no time to be lost.

5. According to the passage, which of the following are governments most worried about?

A.The longer life and good health of people.

B.The diseases and disability of older people.

C.The loss of taxes on older people.

D.The increasing respect for older people.

6.It is stated directly in the passage that older people

should    .

A.be treated differently in different cultures

B.enjoy a similar lifestyle

C.be valued by the younger generations

D.be ignored as society changes

7.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?

A.Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

B.Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

C Supplying life-long learning programmes to older people.

D.Providing free health care for sick older people.

8.The author concludes in the last paragraph that

A.governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem

B.people are too busy to solve the population age?ing problem

C.population ageing is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgently

D.much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem
