ecuador, she wasnt too sure how to feel. she was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.alexia was 16 at the time, a student at westwood high school. the school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. even though armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.now that alexia was home, armato said she saw her daughters new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “this is the best thing i ever did,” alexia said. “the experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. youre with people who are not as lucky as you are. they live in very poor conditions but theyre so happy and outgoing. you say, my god. im taking everything for granted back home.”she said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. they used their hands, shovels and basic tools. she and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, quito. despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.every year, groups of students at montreal high school like alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.“armatos worries are very common among parents,” says bill nevin, a teacher at st. georges high school. he organizes a humanitarian rip to india to the sheela bal bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.21when hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to ecuador, armato was _.aproud and happy bsupportive but concernedcfearful and nervous dexcited but

to work in ecuador one day.bin ancient egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. 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(垃圾食品) later in their trip. in department stores, the womens shoe section is generally next to the womens cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later. besides, businesses seek 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 wines 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.24. why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?a. to save customers times. b. to show they are high quality foods.c. to help sell junk food. d. to sell them at discount prices.25. 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.26. what is the california builders 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.27. what is the main purpose of the passage?a. to explain how businesses turn people into their customers. b. to introduce how businesses have grown from the past.c. to report researches on customer behavior.d. to show dishonest business practices.cdo you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someones life?if yes, dont care about sex or age! come and join us, then youll make it!position: volunteer

seconds?google engineers have discovered that even 400 millisecondsas short as the blink of an eyeis too long for most internet users.a millisecond is one thousandth of a second. people hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported the new york times.nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information. 37 you can get digital traffic jams. meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. 38 google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. for example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. this makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.pursuing a higher speed has always been part of the history of the internet.in the 1990s, when the world wide web first started to become popular, 39 people called it the world wide wait. but engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. they laid a lot of fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.nowadays we can enjoy much faster internet. 40 but they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing demands of internet users.a. internet is becoming faster and faster.b. with so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations,c. we can not expect a faster speed about the internet.d. major search engines such as google and microsofts bing usually find search results in less than a second.e. how long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience?f. this is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.g. it was very crowded and slow;第二部分 (共两节 满分45分)
