I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. I have been a long time Super mart shopper and hope to continue for many years. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your petitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This bees inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two trips. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me ing back to Super mart, but I would be a more satisfied customer if I could find all the items I need in one place. Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a mon ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still mon on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its petitors. I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more petitive. Yours truly, Bob Watson 21. According to Bob, the grocery store _.A. meets all his needsB. is outstanding in every wayC. offers good customer serviceD. lacks convenient transportation22. How does the author present his point in Paragraph 2?A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing the figures.C. By providing scientific findings. D. By paring two different stores.23. From the letter, we can learn that the author is _.A. a very picky reporterB. a petitor of the storeC. a responsible nutritionist D. a regular customer of the store B Around the world, people are satisfying their thirst with bottled water. In the past 10 years, sales in Asia and South America have greatly increased. In xx, people in the United States drank more than 8 billion gallons of bottled water. The United States now uses up the most bottled water in the world, followed by Mexico, China, and Brazil. pared to sugary soft drinks, this seems a healthy choice. But is it a wise one?A single-serve water bottle offers great convenience. It can be bought almost anywhere, carried around for a while, and then thrown away. The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is surprising. Around 2.7 million tons of plastic are turned into disposable bottles each year. This requires large quantities of crude oil(原油) and water. It also produces greenhouse gases. Although the bottles can be recycled, only a small part of them are. The United States only recycles about 23 percent. The rest are part of a growing solid waste problem.Convenience isnt the only reason for bottled waters rise in popularity. Words like “pure”, together with images of mountains or glaciers(冰川), are used to market bottled water. Many people believe that it must be cleaner and more healthful than tap water from public water systems. But this is a wrong idea. In developed nations such as the United States and in Europe, rules that ensure safe water are often stricter for tap than for bottled water.It may e as a surprise that as much as 40 percent of the water bottled in the United States starts out as tap water. Before bottling, some panies filter it, and they might add minerals for taste.Despite its low origins, bottled water can cost anywhere from 240 to 10,000 times more per gallon than tap water. Is the bottle ever better?Bottled water has spread around the world. While it is an important source of safe drinking water, we should not lose sight of a more environmentally friendly source: the water that es out of our taps.24. Whats the authors purpose in Paragraph 1?A. To correct some wrong views on bottled water.B. To show that bottled water is popular all over the world. C. To explain which countries lead in bottled water use.D. To convince readers that bottled water is better than sugary soft drinks.25. According to the text, what is the main problem with bottled water?A. The poor quality of the water sources. B. The waste associated with bottled water.C. The difficulty in transporting the bottles.D. The amount of water required to fill the bottles. 26. Why are words like “pure” used for selling bottled water? A. To influence peoples choices. B. To show values of the buyers.C. To present scientific evidence. D. To meet governments laws.27. What do we know about bottled water in the United States?A. It es from glaciers. B. It is not so popular as soft drinks. C. Around 23 percent of it is recycled each year. D. It is usually under less tight control than tap water.28. What is the authors attitude towards tap water?A. Doubtful.B. Uninterested.C. Favorable.D. Optimistic.C A long weekend is a great opportunity to do something a little different. Many people use a long weekend for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.Hotel RomanceMany hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagnes (香槟酒), flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.Visit a SpaSpa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage (按摩), health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.Learn a Skill A long weekend may not be enough time to bee an expert at something new, but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive(集中的)courses that last two or three days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos. Help Others Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have acmodations and activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the stone time. Stay in a National Park For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins (小屋) within the parks available to rent. A getaway to a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.29. The underlined word getaway in this passage most probably means_.A. an exciting exploration B. an interesting locationC. a short vacation D. an unforgettable experience30. It can be learned from the text that_.A. spas are offered in the tourist attractions all over the countryB. intensive courses of some organizations help people get away from homeC. helping others at weekend makes people feel more stressfulD. people may get close to nature in a national park31. Which of the following can be rented in a national park?A. Cabins. B. Trailers. C. Camping areas. D. Tents.32. The best title of the passage can be_.A. Away from Our Busy Work B. Good Ways to Relieve StressC. Enjoy Life and Help Others D. Long Weekend GetawayD The mon cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is a plague that man receives. The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by ing into contact directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions, explorers have reported being free from colds until ing into contract again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. During the First World War, soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet, seldom caught colds. In the Second World War, prisoners at Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starved, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the mon Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the disforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in a room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in winter? Despite the most hard research, no one has yet found out the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and that makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain-killers such as aspirin, but all that they do is to relieve the symptoms.33. The writer offered _ examples to support his argument. A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 334. Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the mon Cold Research Unit_. A. suffered a lot B. never caught colds C. often caught colds D. became very strong35 . The passage mainly discusses_. A. the experiments on the mon cold B. the fallacy about the mon cold C. the reason and the way people catch colds D. the continued spread of mon colds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。Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Readers Choice. 36 These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer.

Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents.

However, in this case the search is more concentrated. 38 When you read to find a particular date, or number you are scanning. Reading for thorough prehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage. At this level of prehension the reader is able to summarize the authors ideas 39 .Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of reedit requires posting and answering questions such as “ 40 ”, “Do I share the authors point of view?” and “Am I convinced by the authors arguments and evidence?A. Does my own experience support that of the author?B. Readers Choice is one of the most popular magazines in the world.C. but has not yet made a critical evaluation of those ideas.D.
