Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.Go to a Youtheater.

They are almost impossible to find. Isnt it beautiful? And its a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. Its nice and the price is right. Youve never heard of the brand of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. Their clothes follow the fashion. 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 to be heard by others.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 dont pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 34.Its a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they dont 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 dont know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.25. The two attractive young women were talking so as to _.A. get the sweater at a lower price B. be heard by people aroundC. be admired by other shoppers D. decide on buying the sweater26. What is the meaning of the underlined word “stylish” in the passage? _.A. out of date B. convenientC. ancient D. fashionable27. What can we infer from the passage?A. Traditional advertising will soon disappear in the market.B. The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by all kinds of ads.C. That traditional advertising is too direct and may lead to its decreasing effectiveness.D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Two Attractive Shoppers. B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters.C. Undercover Marketing. D. Ways of Advertising.C We know the famous onesthe Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bellsbut what about the less famous inventors？What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldnt we know who they are? Joan McLean thinks so. In fact，McLean，a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range，feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”，however，McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to McLean，“When students learn the answers to these questions，they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.” Her students agree. One young man with a patent(专利权) for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLeans statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention，”said Tommy Lee，a senior physics major，“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer. So，just what is the story behind the windshield wiper？Well，Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy，but Anderson still wanted to see the sights，so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield，she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a builtin device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham，Alabama，Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas，a lever(操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside，became the first windshield wiper. Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. Its hard to imagine driving without Garrett A.Morgans traffic light. Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine JBlodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?29. By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”，the author indicates that countless inventions are _.A. beneficial，because their inventors are famousB. not useful，though their inventors are famousC. not useful，because their inventors are less famousD. beneficial，though their inventors are less famous 30. Professor Joan McLeans course aims to _.A. add colour and variety to students campus lifeB. prepare students to try their own inventions C. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. inform students of the windshield wipers invention31. Tommy Lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _.A. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper B. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLeans lectures32. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. Shouldnt We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?C. Shouldnt We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D. How to Design a Builtin Device for Cleaning the Window?D“When your mother scolds you, you can look elsewhere and think about other things. Just ignore her words. But remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.” These words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fight against their mothers. The images have created heated debate among Chinese netizens（网民）.Regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are always scolded by their parents”, the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to deal with their mothers anger such as crying, pretending to be ashamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Each skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. The creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the Yangtse Evening Post reported on Thursday.According to one of the girls mothers, her daughter once received a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daughters feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girls father, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Monday, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often. “The cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within Chinese family education,” said Yu Qinfang, an expert on family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, Yu discovered that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school students hate being urged to do things by their mothers.“Not giving children enough time and hurrying them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ignored by parents. A mothers blame may lead to negative feelings within her childs heart,” Yu said. “Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”33.What do we know about the cartoon book according to the passage?A. It is finished by children aged 6 to 12.B. It tells us how to control mothers feelings.C. It is intended for primary school teachers.D. It includes a number of vivid pictures and humorous notes.34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Yu Qinfang found that primary school pupils disliked being forced to do things. B. The father posted the cartoons on his microblog to show off his daughters cleverness.C. Parents are advised to speak highly of their children frequently.D. How to blame children needs parents further study of cartoons.35. Where would you probably find this passage?A. An advertisement. B. A textbook. C. A newspaper. D. A novel.第二节 七选五（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。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Have a Successful Teenage LifeEveryone wants to succeed in their life, dont they?
