解答 56--60 CCCBA
56．答案C．推理判断题．根据"strawberry…has many nutritious elements"可知，A项是草莓的共性，题目问的是天然的草莓，排除A；根据"some even have a scent of pesticides（杀虫剂）"可知，这里提到的气味是杀虫剂的气味，排除B；D项文中未提及，根据常识判断，天然的草莓比人工种植的贵很多，排除D；根据"So finding naturally-grown strawberries is a hot issue．There are some places where you can not only find tasteful strawberries"可知，天然的草莓更美味，而且没有污染，故选C．
57．答案C．细节理解题．根据第二段"a kilogram of strawberries for only 12 yuan…And if you are a newcomer，you can get a discount card and enjoy an extra 20 percent discount on your purchase．"可知，十斤共120元，打完折后是96元，即120-120*0.2，故选C．
58．答案C．段落大意题．根据第三段"You can have fun picking strawberries in person，but you can't taste them for free．"可知，顾客不可以免费品尝，C项"taste them as you like"表述错误，其余三项都能从文中找到依据，故选C．
59．答案B．推理判断题．由最后的"Known for the freshest and healthiest strawberries，this place is named as the‘Hometown of Strawberries'．"可以推出之所以被誉为草莓的故乡是因为这里生产的草莓质量上乘，故B项为正确答案．其他三项均不能从文中明确地推出，故选B．
60．答案A．写作目的题．根据文章的组织结构形式，可以判断出这是一篇广告，结合第一段的最后一句"There are some places where you can not only find tasteful strawberries，but also enjoy picking them"可知，其目的是为天然草莓种植园做宣传，故A项为正确答案．

15．November is Alzheimer's（老年痴呆症）Awareness Month in the United States．Alzheimer's is a frightening disease，not only for those who suffer from memory loss，but also for their loved ones．But researchers in California say a new way of treating the disease is showing promise for reversing some of that memory loss．The new treatment combines western medicine with eastern philosophy-ideas rooted in Asian religions．
Dr．Dale Bredesen is with the Easton Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research at UCLA．He says nine of ten patients suffering from Alzheimer's noted improvements in their memory．He says the traditional use of only one treatment just did not work with many patients．The new therapy（疗法）treats the whole patient，not just parts of the patient．"They have either taken a single drug to try with Alzheimer's，which has been a failure repeatedly，or they have tried without any background，simply saying，‘Okay，try exercise，try changing your diet，'these sorts of things，and there has not been any way to understand how these things contribute to the disease．"
According to Dr．Bredesen，there is a constant balance of the brain remembering and forgetting．Many things，including a person's lifestyle，can create an imbalance in brain activity，which can lead to memory loss．Dr．Bredesen creates an individualized treatment for each patient．He does this by taking images of their brain，testing their blood and asking many questions about their daily life．During the treatments，subjects were told to eat more fish，avoid carbohydrates and processed foods，and take vitamin B12，D3and fish oil．They also practiced yoga（瑜伽），sat quietly for 20minutes twice each day and slept more．
Dr．Bredesen describes this new therapy as combining western understanding of the human body with the eastern method of looking at the whole patient．For the nine patients whose memory improved，it usually happened within three to six months．The 10th patient was too far along in the disease for any improvement to be observed．
The UCLA center is now working with 30additional patients as it moves to expand its research．The researchers say they followed some patients up to two and a half years and the memory improvements remained．

71．The underlined word"reversing"in the second paragraph probably meansA．
A．recovering
B．repeating
C．reviewing
D．replacing
72．According to Dr．Bredesen，the problem of the traditional treatment lies in thatD．
A．the patients take only a single drug
B．the patients are not given a healthy diet
C．the patients are required to exercise too much
D．doctors lack overall understanding of the patients
73．In Dr．Bredesen's new treatment，B．
A．the doctors ask the patients to believe in Asian religions
B．the doctors pay more attention to the patient's lifestyle
C．the patients are forbidden from eating meat or bread
D．the patients have to sit quietly and sleep during the day
74．The passage is mainly aboutD．
A．how lifestyle changes help treat Alzheimer's patients
B．the effects of eastern philosophy on Alzheimer's patients
C．the background of Alzheimer's Awareness Month in the United States
D．combining western medicine with eastern philosophy to treat Alzheimer's
75．Which of the following shows the structure of the article？B

16．For years we have been told that encouraging a child's self-respect is important to his or her success in life．But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect． Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car．
The implication （含义） of saying"You are the prettiest girl in class，"or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort，is that you love her only when she looks the best，scores the highest，achieves the most．And this carries over to the classroom．
Social psychologist Carol Dweck，PhD，tested the effects of overpraise on 400fifth graders while she was at Columbia University．She found that kids praised for"trying hard"did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being"smart"．
"Praising attributes （品质） or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality，and it devalues effort，so children are afraid to take on challenges，"says Dweck，now at Stanford University．"They figure they'd better quit while they're ahead．"

29．The underlined words"Praise-aholic kids"refer to kids who areD．
A．tired of being praised             
B．worthy of being praised
C．very proud of being praised        
D．extremely fond of being praised
30．The author quoted （引用） Dr．Dweck's words in the last paragraph in order to make the articleC．
A．better-known    
B．better-organized    
C．more persuasive   
D．more interesting
31．We can infer from the passage thatA．
A．praise for efforts should be more encouraged
B．praise for results works better than praise for efforts
C．praising a child's achievements benefits his or her success in life
D．praising a child's abilities encourages him or her to take on challenges．

20．Shi Fang spends more than 4，000 yuan a month shopping，but she rarely goes to the shopping mall．"Why need a shopping mall if you have Taobao？I am a Taobaoer，"says Shi，28，a writer in Beijing．
A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Shi have discovered the joys of online shopping．The China Internet Network Information Center （CNNIC） announced in December that more than 87 million Chinese made purchases on the Internet in the first half year，which means one out of four Chinese netizens have online shopping experience．
It is estimated that the consumption from online shopping will reach more than 250 billion yuan this year，and 80 percent of this is carried out through Taobao．com，China's fast-growing e-commerce hub （枢纽） set up in 2003．
The biggest attraction for Shi Fang is the relatively low price for online goods，compared with those in stores in bricks．Her favorite facial cream costs 1，680 yuan for a 30ml bottle in the local shop，but a 10ml sample of the same brand only costs 68 yuan online．
The Taobao instant messenger，a communication channel for buyers and sellers，also makes onlrne shopping easier and ensures the overall experience for both parties Shi Fang regards it as a platform to promote trust and keep contact．
"You can check the information easily．It is sweet that the owner will remember you once you have regular chat with him or her through the messenger．You may receive some personalized service such as getting more samples or certain discount，"said Shi While some may question the security of online purchases，Yang Fei，another Taobaoer，gave a thumb-up for Alipay，the Taobao payment method started by Alibaba Group in 2004 in partnership with leading banks in China．It enabled her to make a lot of purchases online．
"It's very safe and convenient．Unless you confirm the arrival and satisfaction about the purchase，the shop owner will not get the money．You can also get the refund（退款） if you want to return the purchase，"she added．

67．According to the passage，Taobao isA．
    A．a website where people can buy different things

68．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of shopping online？C
    A．Personalized service．               B．Reasonable price．
    C．Rich experience．                    D．Its convenience．
69．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
    A．the consumption through Taobao．corn may be over 200 billion yuan this year
    B．consumers won't get any samples because of the low prices
    C．consumers can communicate with sellers mainly on the phone
    D．one fourth of Chinese citizens have online shopping experience

10．The Friday after the American holiday of Thanksgiving is called Black Friday．It's said that it's the day that store ledgers（分类账）move into the black and companies become profitable．On that day，retailers slash（砍） prices to get consumers to buy．It is also a time when many Americans start their Christmas shopping．VOA's Elizabeth Lee tells us how the economy may affect consumers on that bargain day．
 This day should be a shopper's dream．"It's just the deals，the sales and everything you can get for a lesser price，"said Sandy Thomas，a shopper．But it's a nightmare for others．"I think it's crazy．I've done all of my shopping throughout the week so I don't have to go out on Friday，"she said．It's called Black Friday，the start of the traditional Christmas shopping season in the United States．Every year it's the day after the Thanksgiving holiday．Stores open before sunrise and there are deep discounts everywhere you look．
Last year a crowd of bargain-hunters killed a Wal-mart worker in a New York suburb．This year，many stores are increasing security while they slash prices．"This is a huge time for the retail stores，"said Fred Joutz from George Washington University．"This is when they begin making their profits for the year．"
Economics professor Fred Joutz says how Americans spend the weekend after Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future．
With the unemployment rate above 10 percent，Joutz says Americans are saving more and spending less．Some retailers are attracting consumers by opening on Thanksgiving Day，when shops are traditionally closed．Other stores open their doors anywhere from midnight to four in the morning．
And shoppers will be lining up in front of the doors in order to be one of the first ones to walk through and get a big discount．Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually the first items to go．Sandy Thomas says it's an annual family tradition and well worth it．"I just save maybe half of what I would have spent on a regular，you know，shopping trip，"she said．
Economists say U．S．consumers will spend money this Black Friday，but they will spend it more carefully．
71．By saying"This day should be a shopper's dream"，the writer meansD．
A．shoppers have longed for this day for a long time
B．the shops will be very crowded on that day
C．the shops will keep open until the daybreak of next day
D．shoppers can buy many items at low prices on that day
72．Why are many stores increasing security according to the passage？C
A．Because there are too many people saving more and spending less．
B．Because it's a time when they begin making their profits for the year．
C．Because last year a crowd of bargain-hunters caused an accident．
D．Because many stores open their doors from midnight to four a．m．
73．From the passage we know thatA．
A．Christmas shopping is traditional time and this year it is no exception．
B．Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually least discounted．
C．The economy only affects consumers on that bargain day．
D．Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future．
74．We can find this passage inC．
A．a science fiction                       B．a travel brochure
C．an economic research report             D．a book on psychology
75．Why American people call it a black day？B
A．Because they organize activities in honor of some great person．
B．Because there are too many people going out shopping for Christmas．
C．Too many people are celebrating Thanks giving．
D．The sky is black that day．
17．Group buying is one of the fastest growing trends in South Africa today．Industry leaders are confident the growth potential remains strong since group buying is location-specific（区域性的）．Start-up costs are low and profit room remains high，so many sites continue to receive invested money despite widespread criticism and Facebook's decision to phase out of the deals business due to privacy concerns．
In the early stages of all industries，some companies fail because they cannot compete with stronger companies in difficult economic conditions．To deal with difficult conditions，an alarming number of businesses are developing group buying websites in places like China and India，so the increase of group buying in South Africa is nothing more than a natural progression into the international mainstream．
The group buying concept is fairly new and consumers have accepted this concept because they can now make full use of the rich information available on the Internet．Group buying is convenient and easy so it works．Anyone can view a site，join a mailing list，subscribe to RSS or print out a coupon（优惠券）．The current group buying structure offered by the industry leaders works although there are still challenges to overcome．
Perhaps，the future of group buying is tied to the joining together of social media and mobile devices．Mobile devices are with us wherever we go and almost everyone is using some type of social media site like Facebook or Twitter to stay informed．Using GPS and social media technology to provide real time location-specific promotions would be beneficial to every consumer looking for the best deals in town．
Pause for a moment and think about it!What is better than signing on to your phone while having fun in town and you receive a real time information that your favorite shop across the street is offering a killer deal？
The future of the group buying in South Africa is bright and we can expect to see more advanced approaches to this concept in the future．In addition to the technological advances consumers will see the range of promotions expand to include new products and services．

72．What does the underlined phrase"phase out of"mean in the passage？A
A．Gradually stop．    B．Gradually increase．
C．Begin to develop．  D．Continue to enlarge．
73．The author sets China and India as examples to show thatD．

B．China and India are in difficult economic conditions
C．group buying is successful worldwide
D．group buying is an international trend
74．Which of the following is true according to the passage？C
A．People have accepted group buying because it's a new concept．

C．GPS and social media technology will be helpful in group buying．
D．Shops usually offer a killer deal when their customers are having fun．
75．The author's attitude towards the future of group buying isB．
A．pessimistic      B．optimistic      C．objective         D．subjective．
14．You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater．You listen to their conversation："I can't believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find．Isn't it beautiful？And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome．"
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater．It's nice and the price is right．You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla，but those girls looked really stylish．They must know．So，you buy it．You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency．They are actually paid to go from store to store，talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes．
Every day we notice what people are wearing，driving and eating．If the person looks cool，the product seems cool，too．This is the secret of undercover marketing．Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it．
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising．This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18and 34．It is a golden group．They have a lot of money to spend．but they don't trust ads．
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go．Some people might call this practice deceptive（骗人的），but marketing manager Jonathan Ressler calls it creative．"Look at traditional advertising．Its effectiveness is decreasing．"
However，one might ask what exactly is"real"about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater？Adverting managers would say it's no less real than an ad．The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy Something．You don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance．

59．The two attractive young women were talking so that they couldB．
A．get the sweater at a lower price      B．be heard by people around
C．be admired by other shoppers          D．decide on buying the sweater

A．the name of a popular singer          B．an advertising agency

61．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？C
A．The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company．
B．The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads．
C．Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct．
D．Undercover marketing  will surely be stopped soon by the government．
60．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？D

15．It u won﹩50，000，000would u still go to college？
Lots of people go to college so they have a chance to get a better job，but if you won﹩50million，would you still pursue（追求）a higher education？
Re：If u won﹩50，000，000would u still go to college？
I would surely still go to college if I had that much money，but I would not be competing for a scholarship on collegenet．com．I would probably still discuss things here and I would create other scholarships to help other people to go to college as well．
With﹩50million，I would not have to worry about getting a loan（贷款）from Chase Bank or finding scholarships to study abroad．I would have published several books by now as well，but I would still pursue my education．Going to undergraduate school is something that I really want to do because I want to become a Pediatrician．Money may buy a lot of things，but it does not necessarily give you knowledge and knowledge is what I am hunting for now．
I am not just going to school to get a better job； I am going to school to realize all of my dreams．﹩50million is a lot of money，but no amount of money can keep me from my dreams．
Veggie thought："Money may make things easier，but it is not everything．"
Re：If u won﹩50，000，000would u still go to college？
Would I still go？UMM，YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!
I still want to teach…I don't care if I have more money than Bill Gates…I still want to be in a classroom teaching!!And I need a degree to do that!Teaching is my dream job，and it would make me really happy．
I would  pay off my loans as well as my boyfriend's loans and help out a couple of friends who are having trouble with money．
Re：If u won﹩50，000，000would u still go to college？
I would still go to college．The only difference is with that much money to go to college I probably would stay in college longer and pursue a few extra degrees while I am there．I am looking for knowledge not money．The only problem is I need money to pursue knowledge．
Also I could set up scholarship funds and I could save some more for additional dreams that I have．
