This text is most probably taken from a .A. science journalB. travel guideC. storybookD. websiteBIt was close to midnight and it was unusual to see vehicles on the road. However, several trucks pulled over and workers silently unloaded camera equipment and cardboard boxes, and then carried them inside the Morgenson family home.What took place over the next eight weeks was inspired by a Hollywood movie called The Joneses about a family of marketers who move into a local neighborhood to sell their products secretly to their neighbors. The idea was to test the power of word-of-mouth marketing. By filming a rear family in unscripted (无剧本的) situations, my team and I would document how the Morgensons circle of friends responded to brands and products the Morgensons bought into their lives.With the help of 35 video cameras and 25 microphones hidden inside the furniture, the operation done secretly showed something shocking. The most powerful hidden persuader of all isnt in your TV or on the shelves of your supermarket. Its a far more important influence thats around you almost every waking moment: your very own friends and neighbors. There is nothing quite so persuasive as observing someone we respect or admire using a brand or product.Our analysis also found that the brands the Morgensons used went faster. About one third of the Morgensons friends began promoting these same brands to their friends. We also found that the brands their friends were most likely to buy at the Morgensons suggestion were the bigger and better-known ones. This proved my thoughts that traditional marketing and secret marketing work well together. The most persuasive advertising strategies are strengthened by word-of-mouth advertising.Whenever I meet with pany managers, I tell them that the people who hold the real marketing power are mouse-clicking consumers and their wide circles of real-life friends. In other words, the people who hold the real power are us.25. The author and his team went to the Morgenson family home to .A. visit the MorgensonsB. sell products to themC. shoot a Hollywood movieD.carryoutmarketing research26. According to the text, people are more likely to buy a product when .A. noticing an advertisement for it on TVB. the product appears repeatedly in a movieC. seeing their friends using the same product.D. someone is promoting it in the supermarket.27. In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text?A. Travel.B. Business.C. Lifestyle.D. Entertainment.C Residents in the poorest counties in the U.S. face a life expectancy up to decade shorter than their counterparts in the wealthiest areas, according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health.Researchers from East Tennessee State University wanted to better understand how socioeconomic status was associated with health outes. To find out they divided the countrys 3,141 counties into 50 new states (with 2 percent of the counties in each) based on household ine as opposed to geographic proximity (接近).The researchers broke down the data by county since they found state-level data may hide some impact of socioeconomic differences on both the best-off and worst-off counties. They then examined health data from the wealthiest and poorest states (top and bottom 2 percent) to see how residents differed on factors like smoking, clinical care and excessive drinking. Researchers found that there was nearly a 10-year gap in the life expectancy of men with an average of 79.3 years in the wealthy counties pared to 69.8 years in the poorest. For women, the difference was slightly less - 83 years in the wealthiest counties and 76 years in the poorest.The study authors caution that while they found a connection between socioeconomic status and health outes, they did not analyze cause and effect. But they suggest that the data shows how policy makers should not just focus on state-wide initiatives (主动性) but more targeted efforts to help those most at risk. “With limited resources, methods of pinpointing the poorest counties can assist in the allocation of resources and programs to those munities that are in the greatest need, the study authors wrote.28. How did Researchers divide the counties?A. By social status.B. By ine.C. By health.D. By living places.29. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. The women difference is less than the man in life expectancy.B. The wealthiest state like hiding their wealth.C. Most health data is unbelievable.D. Most poorest state smoke and drink a lot.30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The researchers think their study is perfect.B. People still dont know the cause of life expectancy.舒中高三统考英语 第6页 (共10页)C. The government should learn something from the study.D. The American resources allocation is not fair at all.31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Ways to have a long life expectancyB. Great ine differences in the USAC. The health problem in the USAD. Men in richest 10 years longer in poorestDAs PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden was enviable; watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead, he witnessed something odd. Many groups were increasing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they werent siblings（兄弟姐妹）. Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichlids, adopt each others babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?In the human world, we think of adoption as a selfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animals chances of survival or at least provide no gain. Yet, adoption is surprisingly mon in the world.Take the eastern grey kangaroo. Between xx and xx, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch swapping. The circumstances behind some of these adoptions arent known, but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby.How e? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mothers pouch; Following out-of-pouch attacks, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisendens team suspect that during an emergency they may skip the sniff test, allowing a vulnerable baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger. Once inside the wrong pouch, the young may fake the mothers odor, making them smell confusingly like her own descendants. So, poor baby recognition is the prime cause of “accidental” adoption.Some of natures adoptions are, actually, driven by young looking for better prospects. In burrower bugs, for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch, then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a petitive business, so not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isnt up to scratch, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group. Thats similar to behavior in several species of gull whose babies, if poorly fed, may leave home in search of better parents.The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be extremely terrible. The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.32. It can be inferred from the passage that Wisendens findings are . A. too weird to be witnessed B. out of his own expectationsC. envied by his peer co-researchers D. a sound proof of his research object33. Which is NOT the reason for adoption in the animal kingdom?A. Baby animals looking for better parenting.B. Parents failure to recognize their own babies.C. Selfless adoption monly seen in animal world.D. Parents, inability to provide enough food.34. The underlined word “vulnerable” in the fourth paragraph means .A. weak and easily attacked B. naughty and easily hurtC independent and well-fed D. fragile and poorly raised35. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The benefits for baby animals. B. The benefits for adopters.C. The consequences of adoption. D. The consequences of wrong identity.第二节（共五小题，每小题2分，共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。(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Ways to Respectfully DisagreeIts easier to agree than disagree. 36 Unfortunately, many of us either shy away pletely from disagreements or lose it when things dont go our way. These tips can help keep disagreements constructive.Use “I to municate how you feel, what you think and what you want or need. 37 For example, telling your parents “You always remind me about my housework when you know I have much homework” has a very different tone from “Im feeling pressured because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?”Listen to the others opinion. 38 That makes it more likely that he or she will do the same for you. When the other person is talking, try to stop yourself from thinking about why you disagree or what youll say next. 39 This is the important thing you can do to keep a conversation on track. Of course, its a huge challenge to stay calm when you feel angry about something, especially if the person youre talking to gets heated. 40 If youve ever been on the receiving end of someones put-downs (贬损的话), you know how valuable using respectful language and behavior can be. So instead of saying what you might be thinking (Thats a stupid idea!), try saying “I dont agree, and here is why.”Respect goes beyond difficult conversations, of course. Being helpful and considerate towards family members, teachers or coaches in our everyday actions helps us e舒中高三统考英语 第8页 (共10页)stablish a foundation for those times when we might disagree.A. Stay calm.B. Look into the others eyes.C. Using you statements can sound aggressive.D. Avoid putting down the other persons ideas and beliefs.E. Then you can calmly present your case and why you disagree.F. Being a good listener shows that you respect the other person.G.
