and its a lot cheaper than the one sara bought in rome” they leave and you go over to see this incredible sweaterits nice and the price is rightyouve never heard of lorenzo bertolla，but those girls looked really stylishthey must knowso，you buy ityou never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agencythey 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 eatingif the person looks cool，the product seems cool，toothis is the secret of undercover(暗中进行的)marketingcompanies from ford to nike are starting to use it undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that dont pay attention to traditional advertisingthis is particularly true of the mtv generationconsumers between the age of 18 and 34it is a golden groupthey 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 gosome people might call this practice deceptive(欺诈性的)，but marketing manager jonathan ressler calls it creative“look at traditional advertisingits effectiveness is decreasing” however，one might ask what exactly is “real” about one of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? adverting managers would say its no less real than an adthe difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy somethingyou dont know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance54undercover marketing is effective mainly because amtv generation dont trust traditional ads bpeople believe if a person looks cool，the product seems cool，too ctraditional ads fail to persuade people to buy things dit reaches people without being noticed55which of the following can be inferred from the passage? athe two girls enjoy wearing lorenzo bertolla clothes bthe mtv generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads ctraditional advertising is becoming less effective because its too direct dundercover marketing will surely be stopped soon by the government56which of the following would be the best title for the text? atwo attractive shoppers blorenzo bertolla sweaters cways of advertising dundercover marketingdit is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. it is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether. road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. it takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. on the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. a friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. but such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. however, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. the same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. it always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies. an experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. unfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn to drive, let alone master the roadman ship. years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. it is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 57. according to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by _.a. road conditions b. the speed of modern life c. the behavior of the drivers d. the large number of cars 58. in the writers opinion, _.a. drivers should avoid traffic jams b. strict traffic rules are badly needed c. unskillful drivers should be punished d. drivers should show road politeness properly 59. the underlined word “give-and-take” in the last paragraph means “_”.a. politeness and impoliteness b. good manners and bad manners c. offering help to others as much as possible d. willingness of each person to give in to each others wishes 60. what is the best title of the passage?a. road politeness b. traffic problems c. bad manners on the road d. good divers and bad drivers第二节（共5小题；毎小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从下框的af选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。while lead（铅）poisoning is serious, parents can take steps to reduce the risk for their children. 61 take notes: start by checking to see if you own any items recalled（找回，收回） by the consumer product safety commission. get rid of any toys with chipped（稍有破损）paint, or other broken and damaged parts. not sure it contains lead? 62 clean up: to avoid lead exposure from sources in the home, keep floors and other play areas clean and free of dust and pieces. 63 store toys off the floor in a clean place. and if you live in house with lead pipes, running cold water for a few minutes and using a water filter (过滤器) can reduce lead levels.buy smart: avoid no-name produce and be careful when you buy items at dollar stores, street fairs, thrift stores or yard sales. 64 even if they dont contain lead, they could become a choking hazard(危险). also make sure the arts and crafts supplies you buy are non-toxic(无毒的) and designed for childrens use.get tested: children with lead poisoning may not have easily recognizable symptoms(症状). 65 this might mean that there will be a lot of tests that turn out normal, but its better than sitting around and worrying. testing is especially important if you and your children live in a home with peeling paint or if your home was painted before 1978, when the consumer product safety commission banned the sale of lead-based paints.a. wash your childrens hands and playthings often.b. the following tips contain common hazards for lead poisoning.c. if a parent is concerned, they should have their kid tested.d. not all children like being tested.e. heres how to make sure your children stay safe.f. when in doubt, throw it out.g. do not buy jewelry for young children. 第三部分：写作(共三节，满分55分)第一节 单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)根据下列各句句意和空白之后
