Modern businesses have been ‎ following his lead with more tactics（策略）.‎ One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics (化妆品) section. While the shop assistant is away to find the right-size shoes, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later. ‎ Besides, businesses see to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up. ‎ When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.‎ ‎21.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?‎ ‎ A. To save customers time. ‎ B. To show they are high quality foods.‎ ‎ C. To help sell junk food. ‎ D. To sell them at discount prices.‎ ‎22.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?‎ ‎ A. Opening the store early in the morning. ‎ B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.‎ ‎ C. Inviting customers to play music. ‎ D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.‎ ‎23.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?‎ ‎ A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.‎ ‎ B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.‎ ‎ C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.‎ ‎ D. A good first impression increases sales.‎ ‎24.What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ ‎ A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.‎ ‎ B. To introduce how businesses have developed from the past.‎ ‎ C. To report researches on customer behavior and intention.‎ ‎ D. To show dishonest business ways to attract more customers.‎ ‎.‎ ‎ B One of the greatest gifts one generation can give to other generations is the wisdom it has gained from experience. This idea has inspired the award-winning photographer Andrew Zuckerman. He interviewed and took photos of fifty over-sixty-five-year-olds all over the world. His project explores various aspects of their lives. The photos and interviews are now available on our website.‎ Click on the introductions to read the complete interviews.‎ Let us now have a culture of peace. ‎ 一Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Spain Federico Mayor Zaragoza obtained a doctorate in pharmacy (药学）from the Complutense University of Madrid in 1958. After many years spent in politics, he became Director-General of UNESCO in 1987. In 1999，he created the Foundation for a Culture of Peace, of which he is now the president. In addition to many scientific publications, he has published four collections of poems and several books of essays.‎ Writing is a discovery. ‎ 一Nadine Gordimer，South Africa Due to a weak heart, Nadine Gordimer attended school and university briefly.

I miss my sugar! I’ve decided to lose weight and I had to give up cakes. It’s difficult because I have a sweet tooth and I love cream cakes.‎ Not having treats can be good for your health. I’ve heard that the Burts, a family of five in South East England，lived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病).It wasn’t easy. To avoid temptation, I don’t go to any bakeries, but this family actually owns one, which makes up to 3 ,000 cakes a week.‎ They were in shock when the doctor said that their 16-year-old Lucy had to check her blood sugar levels regularly and take insulin (胰岛素). He advised her to eat a normal,balanced diet,but the Burts went further and got rid of sugar altogether.‎ And how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? Jason Burt said that for a month they felt weak. But later on it all changed. He says he feels “more awake” and full of energy.‎ And what about the Burt family business? It had to keep using half a ton of sugar a week and any cook worth his salt（称职）knows that you have to taste a recipe to know if it’s right. No problem there, says Jason Burt’s wife, Clare. She points out that she’s got lots of people offering to taste the cakes for them. The family is also thinking about selling more delicious products.‎ I wonder what makes us have a strong desire for sweet food. Anyway, I’ve decided to forget about the sweet taste of sugar for a while. As British model Kate Moss says: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”‎ ‎29.From the passage, what do we know about the author?‎ A. The author runs a bakery. ‎ B. The author hates sweet taste.‎ C. The author is on a diet. ‎ D. The author’s daughter had diabetes.‎ ‎30.What did the Burts do after hearing the doctor’s advice?‎ ‎ A.They were shocked. B. They went too far about it.‎ ‎ C.They used half a ton of sugar a week. D. They avoided sugar completely.‎ ‎31.From the passage we can learn it is necessary for a cook .‎ ‎ A.to make up to 3 ,000 cakes a week ‎ B.to taste a recipe to know if it’s right ‎ C.to get lots of people offering to taste the cakes ‎ D.to selling more delicious products ‎32.What does the sentence by Kate Moss mean?‎ ‎ A.It is worthwhile to resist food to look skinny.‎ ‎ B.There is nothing tasting as good as sweets.‎ ‎ C.Nothing tastes good when the skin feels terrible.‎ ‎ D.Nobody can resist the desire for sweets.‎ D There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world’s most exciting wildlife journeys.‎ Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.‎ The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face, it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, so does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.‎ In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta, the animals come out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun’s rays pass through and the horses kick up the dust, the romance of Africa comes to life.‎ Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.‎ ‎33. What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?‎ ‎ A. Seeing and feeling the real African life. ‎ ‎ B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.‎ ‎ C. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.‎ ‎ D. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “sedate” probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Wild and romantic. B. Slow and peaceful. ‎ ‎ C. Hungry and thirsty. D. Active and excited.‎ ‎35. The author introduced the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by________.‎ ‎ A. following space order B. following time order ‎ C. making classifications D. giving examples 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Things You Should Stop Doing to Be Successful Are you a happy person?

Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.‎ ‎1. 36 ‎ Different people may interpret “success” in different ways: some of them measure it in money, other ones — in positive changes to people around them and the world in general. 37 Don’t worry about what other people think but come after what makes you happy.‎ ‎2.Do not believe anything without questioning it.‎ ‎ 38 They are critical thinkers(批判性思考者), and they understand that we all are ruled by our prejudices(偏见), so they will always question new information.‎ ‎3.Do not worry about all unpredictable things that may happen to you.‎ If you want to be successful,stop thinking about everything that MAY happen to you. 39 Be ready to improve and change your deeds and decisions when things suddenly don’t go according to your plan.‎ ‎4.Do not care about what other people think of you.‎ ‎ 40 Your attempts to become “good” for everyone will turn into nothing but new worries, stresses, and problems.

That, after all, is the 58 of every apology. It 59 little whether the apologizer is completely or only partly wrong. Being responsible for one’s 60 encourages others to share the blame.‎ ‎41.
