1.SubliminaI(隐性)advertising happens every day.Shoppers are regularly encouraged to buy by appeals to their senses or unconscious assumptions.I recently carried out a series of research experiments to uncover the ways advertisers use to confuse us to Pull out our wallets.Here are several techniques you should know about.
We fall for"tradition".Some people believe that squeezing a lime(酸橙) into a Corona beer is a time-honored Mexican custom to improve the beer's taste or destroy bacteria(细菌).The truth?It dates back only t0 1981,when a bartender (酒保) threw a lime into the neck of a Corona to see if he could start a trend.This simple act,which caught on like wildfire,helped Corona become the best-selling imported beer in the U.S.market.
Music makes us buy.Store owners know that playing music with a beat faster than the human heartbeat causes shoppers to shop quickly and therefore buy less.The slower the beat,the more time shoppers will take,and the greater the chances are that they'll buy something.
Shapes have a draw.A large food maker once tested two different containers holding exactly the same.The only difference?Shapes.When asked which product they preferred,every one selected the first bottle that is narrow around the middle and thicker at the top and on the bottom.
Places help decide.Let's say I offered you a choice of two new cars.They're of the same model,the same color,and they have the same parts.There's only one difference:One is made in  Turkey,and the other in Germany.My guess is that you'd pick the German model,since you associate Germany with superb techniques.

56.What does the underlined expression"pull out our wallets"in the first paragraph mean?(no more than 5words)
Pay for the product/Consume
57.What is subliminal advertising?(No more than 15words)
It encourages shoppers to buy by appeals to their senses or unconscious assumptions.
58.What often has an effect on shoppers'buying in the author's opinion?(No more than 15 words)
They are products'tradition and shapes,shopping music and places of production
59.What is the author's purpose by writing the passage?(No more than 10words)
To help shoppers choose the right products
60.Does the Corona beer with a lime sell well in the US?Why?(No more than 20words)
Yes,it does.Because the bear's taste is improved/Because the bacteria is destroyed and it's good for people's health..
18.Zero gravity looks cool.But what about the thing no one likes to talk about?Yes,that is right:going to bathroom.Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge.Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again.
The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips.A second astronaut watched closely to be sure no waste matter escaped the seal.(You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin!) When the deed was done,the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag,removed the bag,dropped a disinfectant pill in with the waste matter,and put the whole thing,sealed,into a special container.
Donald W.Rethke,an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems,developed a more private way to answer nature's call:the space toilet.It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes---with unique adaptations for zero gravity,of course.For instance,it has thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat.
The astronaut (male or female) defecates (排便) in a bag and urinates (排尿) in a hose.Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85% of the urine is recycled and,yes,after careful filtration,used for drinking and other purposes.(Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet,where the waste is compacted into hamburger-like patties for easy storage.Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet,it is at the very least much more private than in the early days of space travel.

28.According to the first paragraph,the lack of the gravity can turn something as simple asDinto a major challenge.
A.eating        B.taking baths       C.sleeping        D.answering nature's call
29.How did astronauts use toilet systems in the Apollo days?
   A.None of the waste was separated as it is now.
   B.Solid waste was compressed and stored on board.
   C.The toilet units used water to remove the waste through the system.
   D.The astronauts each used their own private restroom.
30.To ensure the user remains seated,the toilet comes equipped withD
   A.a plastic bag      B.a sticky strip   C.a wide hose       D.a thigh bar
31.What can be inferred from the fact that most of the astronauts'urine is recycled?B
   A.The recycled water tastes better.
   B.Water is limited on the space shuttle.
   C.It is very convenient to get their urine recycled.
   D.Space science includes recycling urine.
5.A.How to take notes and rewrite in one′s own words
B.Advantages of taking notes
C.Taking some useful notes
D.Taking notes is a help to create new ideas in the future
E.Need to change information from an encyclopedia into one′s own
F.Two ways of writing a note and their advantage

(61)E
In school and out,many people need to put the information they find in an encyclopedia into words of their own.The student who is writing a composition,the businessman who is writing a report,and the housewife who is preparing a talk for a woman′s club often need the kind of information they find in an encyclopedia.But no one wants what he writes to read as it were copied from an encyclopedia.What you write should read as if it came from you.
(62)A
Even if you have every intention of rewriting the material in your own words,it is unwise to copy information from an encyclopedia word for word.Instead,write brief notes to remind yourself of the facts you wish to express.Later with the encyclopedia closed,you can expand those notes into sentences and paragraph of your own.
(63)B
The advantage of note-taking over copying is that it forces you to think for yourself at least twice-first when you are reading and second when you are using your notes.It is easy to copy a paragraph without being sure of what it means.But to make a note expressing the meaning of a paragraph in your own words requires you to prove to yourself that you have understood that paragraph.Note-taking also helps you to remember what you have read.It is much easier to remember what you have said in a note that someone else has said in a book.Even if author′s vocabulary is easily understood,it isn′t the vocabulary you naturally think of.Putting his ideas into your vocabulary makes those ideas yours,and yours are the ideas you best remember.
(64)F
Some people write notes in complete sentences.Others write notes that are phrases of topics.For example,a sentence note on the paragraph above might be"Notes help you remember."A topical note for the same paragraph might be"Notes as memory helps".Both of these are four-word notes,and therefore either has an advantage to save time at the moment of note-taking
(65)D
Remember that the purpose of taking notes is always for some future use,often for some future writing that you will do.Notes that make you think as you write are better than notes that merely help you remember information.The thinking writer is the one who creates something new,something that no one can point to and say,"Oh,I have seen that same paragraph in an encyclopedia."
