8．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-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's 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 misleading，but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative．"Look at traditional advertising．Its effectiveness is decreasing．"It is true，because everyone knows an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something．However，you don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance．
28．The two attractive young women were talking so that they couldD．

B．decide on buying the sweater

D．Ways of Advertising．

7．There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life，one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy．This arises from the different ways in which they consider things，persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds．
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things：the pleasant parts of conversation，the well prepared dishes，the goodness of the wine and the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful things．Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things．Therefore，they are continually dissatisfied．By their remarks，they sour the pleasure of society，hurt many people，and make themselves disagreeable everywhere．If this turn of mind was founded in nature，such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied．The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation．It grows into a habit，unknown to its possessors．The habit may be strong，but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes．I hope this little warning may be of service to them，and help them change this habit．
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination，it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck．Those people hurt many others； nobody loves them，and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect．This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments．If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune，nobody wishes them success．Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes．If they bring on themselves public objections，no one will defend or excuse them，and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings．These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing，without worrying needlessly about themselves and others．If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them．Otherwise，it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient，especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels．
25．People who are unhappyB．
A．always consider things differently from others
B．always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
C．usually misunderstand what others think or say
D．usually are affected by the results of certain things
26．The phrase"sour the pleasure of society"most nearly means"A"．
A．makes others unhappy
B．has a good taste with social life
C．tend to scold others openly
D．enjoy the pleasure of life
27．We can conclude from the passage thatC．
A．we should pity all such unhappy people
B．such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C．people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D．unhappy people can not understand happy persons．

6．Are you a dog person or a cat person？
With so many photos and videos of cats and dogs doing cute things online，it's easier than ever to answer which of these furry friends you like more．There are many reasons why people prefer one type of pet over the other．So，have you ever wondered what your preference for cats or dogs says about you？
In fact，a 2010study done by Sam Gosling，a psychologist at the University of Texas，US，and his graduate student Carson Sandy found that dog people are more extroverted （外向的），agreeable and conscientious （认真的） than cat people．
"Cats will occasionally engage in social activities，but usually after only a few minutes they will give up the game．Dogs，on the other hand，will often engage in play，like fetching a thrown ball，for hours at a time，"said Modern Dog magazine．
Just on the basis of dogs'nature being more sociable than cats'，you may expect that the personalities of dog people also reflect higher sociability．And Gosling's study found that dog people are generally about 15percent more extroverted and 13percent more agreeable，both of which are associated with social orientation （倾向）．
In addition，dog people are 11percent more conscientious than cat people．"Conscientiousness"is a tendency to show self-discipline，to complete tasks and aim for achievement．This trait also shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous （一时冲动的） behavior．
In comparison，cat people are about 12percent more anxious，but they are also 11percent more"open"than dog people，due to a general appreciation for art，emotion，imagination，curiosity，adventure，unusual ideas and variety of experience．And people high on openness are more likely to hold unconventional beliefs．
Despite so many differences，there are some things that cat people and dog people have in common．"Both types of people consider themselves close to nature，dislike animal-print clothing and generally look on the better side of life，"noted Mother Nature Network．
21．What does the article mainly talk about？D
A．Differences between dogs and cats in their personality traits．
B．Factors that influence people's preference for dogs or cats．
C．How raising a pet helps shape your personality．
D．What your preference for dogs or cats tells about you．
22．The underlined phrase"engage in"in the fourth paragraph probably meansA．
A．get involved in
B．benefit from
C．take little interest in
D．perform well in
23．According to the study done by Sam Gosling，dog owners tend toB than cat owners．
A．be more imaginative and creative
B．live a more organized life
C．love to get close to nature more
D．be more easygoing and adventurous
24．According to the article，both dog people and cat peopleB．
A．are generally self-disciplined
B．are usually positive and care about nature
C．are likely to hold unconventional beliefs
D．like to wear animal-print clothing．

5．

In the film The Revenant the Leonardo DiCaprio adventure takes the basic facts of real-life frontiersman Hugh Glass's sufferings and adds extra characters，extra ultra violence and more horse guts．
Hugh Glass was a frontiersman working in the upper Missouri river area in the early years of the 19th century．On a fur trapping expedition in 1823，he was attacked and injured by a grizzly bear．
1．
Hugh Glass （Leonardo DiCaprio） is one of a group of men finishing up a fur trapping expedition in the wilderness．They are attacked by Ree （Arikara） warriors．Whoosh！Someone gets impaled on a spear．Bang！Someone gets shot off his horse．Crack！Someone's bones shatter．There's a fearless close-up of an arrow thwacking into a face，a gun butt bashing into a face，a flying kick to a face．A horse gets shot in the face．It's exceptionally well choreographed （取景） and filmed．
This scene is based on a real-life incident：In June 1823，Ashley's band of around 70men was attacked by Arikara warriors-they estimated around 600，though in the film it's more like a dozen．
2．Characters
In the film，10men get away．Fitzgerald is fighty and racist，so he's the bad guy．Glass is the good guy，because he loves his son （who is half-Pawnee） in a gruff，manly way that involves telling him off a lot．The back story about Glass's love for a Pawnee woman is fiction．It has been suggested the real Glass had such a relationship，but there's no firm evidence-and no evidence that he had any children．
3．Wildlife
As the men make their way through a forest，Glass happens upon two bear cubs and their angry mama．If you felt pale after the face-smashing scene at the start，reach for the smelling salts．Chomp！Growl！Shake！The bear sniffs him to see if he's dead，then jumps up and down on his back．Splinter！Howl！Slash！Glass shoots the bear．Anyway，while historians are not certain of the precise details，the real Glass did get into a fight with a real bear，sometime in August 1823．
4．Murder
The men find Glass in a rum old state．Captain Henry pays Fitzgerald，Bridger and Hawk to stay behind until it is time for Glass's inevitable burial．When the captain leaves，Fitzgerald tries to bump Glass off．Hawk interrupts，so Fitzgerald bumps him off instead．This didn't happen in real life，because Hawk didn't exist．In the film，the weak Glass sees Fitzgerald kill his son，giving him an extra motivation to stay alive and seek revenge．
5．Survival
The real Glass survived his abandonment and dragged his battered body over hundreds of miles of terrain in pursuit of the men who left him for dead．Though he could read and write，Glass never set his story down in his own hand．It was first published by another writer in a Philadelphia journal in 1825．It may well have been modified then．It has been modified many times since．
6．Hardship
The film has invented some extra obstacles for Glass：it is snowing throughout，even though in real life his trek took place between August and October； the Arikara track him and chase him into a tree； he has to hollow out a dead horse to make himself a sleeping bag．As for the ending，it has been changed in one significant way：in real life，nobody got killed．
61．We can know for sure after reading the passage that real Hugh GlassC．
A．finally survived for he was determined to take revenge on Fitzgerald killing Hawk
B．fell in love with a Pawnee woman and soon after they had a clever and brave boy
C．wrote nothing about his suffering despite the fact that he was actually educated
D．nearly got killed by Fitzgerald and Hawk under the instruction of Captain Henry
62．To play the role of Hugh Glass，Leonardo DiCaprio must haveB．
A．fought against three bears courageously
B．walked in snow with great difficulty
C．rode a horse time and time again
D．grasped skills for surviving in the wild
63．Which of the following can be the best subtitle for the 4th and 5th paragraphs？A
A．Violence
B．Setting
C．Horror
D．Special effects
64．We can see here and there in the passage that the writer thinks of the movie as aC adaptation．
A．faithful
B．disappointing
C．successful
D．heartless
65．The passage is intended to inform readersD．
A．how tragic Hugh Glass's experience is
B．how well Leonardo DiCaprio performs in The Revenant
C．how bloody the movie The Revenant is
D．how historically accurate The Revenant is．

4．How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see（56）whetheryour latest post has got another"like"or"thumbs up"？Although you might （57）be embarrassed （embarrass）to admit how many times you do this，don't worry-psychological findings have shown it's （58）completely （complete） normal．
In fact，the pleasure we derive from getting a"like"is equal to（59）that of eating chocolate or winning money，and we can't help wanting more．According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center，which observed 32teens aged between 13and 18，the feedback circuit （反馈电路） in the teens'brains are particularly sensitive，and the"social"and"visual"parts of their brains were activated when they received"likes"（60）on an Instagram-like social network．
The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete（61）strangers （strange），the good they derive from it worked all the same．So，does it mean we should try our best to win as （62）many thumbs up as possible？Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention．
In"Why are people eager for attention"by M．Farouk Radwan，he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention．Radwan said people who were an only child，who were used to being the center of attention in their house，may try to replicate these conditions．（63）Feeling （feel）"overlooked and unappreciated"might also lead you to long for attention．Other times，the state of being jealous，or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings．
In fact，too much desire for attention（64）can/may/mightcreate anxiety，and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it．So what can we do about it？The answer is quite simple．
"If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem（自尊） but on something larger than their self，such as what they can create or contribute to others，they would be（65）less （little）susceptible（易受影响的） to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem，"wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues．Crocker suggests that"it's about having a goal that is bigger than the self．"So perhaps the answer to our addiction to"likes"is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves-a tall order，but a worthy one．

3．Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy（自主性） and the development of adult identity．However，now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence，during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities．
For previous generations，college was decisive break from parental control； guidance and support needed come from people of the same age and from within．In the past two decades，however，continued connection with and dependence on family，thanks to cellphones，email and social media，have increased significantly．Some parents go so far as to help with coursework．Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility，universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home．
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility，college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation．This process involves"trying on"new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually（在思维方面） and personally．While we should provide"safe spaces"within colleges，we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views．Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important．Because a college community（群体） differs from the family，many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging．If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern，they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community．
Moreover，the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults：the response to being controlled by their elders．If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined（规定） and controlled，the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged．
It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out，particularly when there are reasons to do so．Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency．What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent's desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world．Therefore，there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth．
Every college discussion about community values，social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation，of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery．
27．What's the author's attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students？B
A．Sympathetic
B．Disapproving
C．Supportive
D．Neutral
28．The underlined word"passage"in paragraph 2meansA．
A．change
B．choice
C．text
D．extension
29．According to the author，what role should college play？D
A．to develop a shared identity among students
B．to define and regulate students'social behavior
C．To provide a safe world without tension for students
D．To foster students'intellectual and personal development
30．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage？C

I：Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point C：Conclusion．
