【2011·江西新余市二模】A

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho？” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name？ The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you're looking for？” he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

B

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled—to $ 1.01 per pack—smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.

    This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.

    The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.

    In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10. 06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston, S.C. , where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation, the price was $ 4.78.

    The influence is obvious.

    In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.

    Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.”

    That’s true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.

61．The text is mainly about        .

   A．the price of cigarettes                      B．the rate of teen smoking

   C．the effect of tobacco tax increase             D．the differences in tobacco tax rate

62．What does the author think is a surprise?

   A．Teen smokers are price sensitive.

   B．Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.

   C．Tobacco taxes improve public health.

   D．Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.

63．The underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 3 most probably means         .

   A．discourage           B．remove              C．benefit               D．free

64．Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of       .

   A．tolerance             B．unconcern         C．doubt                D．sympathy

65．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

   A．The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.

   B．Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.

   C．Future generations will be hooked on smoking.

   D．Adults will depend more on their families.

C

       The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.

       A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz", he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.

       Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.

       The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.

       Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.

       The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.

       One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.

       The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.

       A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.

66.What is the best title of the text?

       A. The guide of Admongo                          B. An aducation website for children

       C. A popular online video game                   D. A website aimed at children

67. Why did the government start the website?

       A. To attract the biggest market of buyers.

       B. To sell the products of its company.

       C. To help children know about advertising.

       D. To advertise the video game for children.

68. What can players do in the website game?

       A. Choose hair styles for their character.      B. Travel to a supermarket.

       C. Eat in a fast-food restaurant.                  D. Play video games during the trip.

69. Children are important for advertising because they are        .

       A. important for the society                       B. the most potential buyers

       C. easily influenced by ads                         D. easily affected by poor products

70. According to Michelle Obama, lots of food advertised for children are ________.

   A. healthy                B. of high nutrition     C. yummy          D. of low quality

Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged．It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours．

Unplugged is being run by Dr. Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University．During the experiment, Dr. Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers．He said：“They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected．”

During their 24-hour test, three of the experiment’s participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman．They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops．

Elliot Day wrote：“Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air．Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers．”

From Caroline Scott, we read：“I didn’t expect it, but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but It’s not something I would like to do again！”

And Charlotte Gay wrote：“I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been  my mobile；not only is it a social device, it’s my main access point of communication．”

Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once．So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?

71．What can we learn about the volunteers?

       A．Volunteers didn’t write down about their day offline．

       B．Volunteers weren’t allowed to use any media for 24 hours．

       C．Volunteers were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos．

       D．Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment．

72．Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants’ feelings？

       A．Anxious．              B．Lonely                C．Bored．                D．Despaired．

73．Which of the following is true of Caroline Scott？

       A．The media ban affected his temperature．

       B．His work went on smoothly without the media．

       C．His work was carried on hard without the media．

       D．His life was empty without the radio or newspapers．

74．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

       A．People should use the media devices reasonably．

       B．People can easily survive the media devices addict．

       C．People can spend more time sleeping in the future．

       D．People spend about half the time using the media devices．

75．The text is most probably a         ．

       A．newspaper ad                                          B．book review           

       C．news report                                               D．science fiction story
