packaging is the silent but persuading salesman.there on the shelves, each bottle, can ,box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, because he/she is buying not only a product but also his/her belief in life. scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. many products are packages and many packages are products.”, as louis cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers feelings for packaging, noticed.colors are one of the best tools in packaging. studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. take v8 for example. for many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that is it very good for your body. and the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.shapes are another attraction. circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. thats why the round yellow m signs of mcdonalds are inviting to both young and old.this new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.10. the underlined word “consumer” in the passage means _.a. salesman b. shopkeeper c. buyer d. product11.according to the passage, _ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.a. the pleasing color of the package b. he special taste of the productc. the strange shape of the package d. the belief in the product12. if a package or a product is round in shape, it can _.a. bring excitement to the consumers b. attract the consumers attentionc. catch the eye movement of the consumers d produce a happy and peaceful feeling13. “and the word green today can keep food prices going up ” this sentence suggests that consumers today are _.a. starting to notice the importance of new food b. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before c. beginning to like green vegetablesd. paying more attention to their health14. it can be inferred from the passage that v8 is a kind of _.a. vegetable dish b. healthy juice c. iced drink d red vegetable15what is the best title of the passage?apackage and product. bconsumer response.ccolors and shapes dthe inner self of the consume dnow, we know that if we do not get enough vitamins, we are at risk of developing a number of diseases. as a result, vitamin supplements（补品），though expensive, are popular with people who worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. but contrary to what many people think, medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anything to improve health or protect against disease. in fact, medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. for example, too much vitamin e can cause bleeding. people should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors, as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.experts, however, do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent disease. people who know they lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. some older adults, for example, may not have enough vitamin b-twelve. this is because, as people get older, their body loses its ability to take it from foods. also, people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin d as the skin makes this vitamin from sunlight.different vitamins are found in different foods. vitamin a is found in fish liver oil. it is also in the yellow part of eggs. sweet potatoes, carrots and other darkly colored fruits and vegetables contain substances that the body can change into vitamin a. vitamin b-twelve is found in green leafy vegetables and other foods, like fruits. vitamin k can be found in pork products.in fact, for most people, a balanced diet can ensure enough of the vitamins our bodies need. so, it is important for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins our bodies need. 16. what is probably talked about before this passage? a. how many vitamins a persons body needs.b. how many vitamins some foods contain.c. what people should do to stay healthy.d. the benefits that vitamins bring to our health.17. vitamin supplements are popular with people because _. a. people fear that a lack of vitamins will lead to diseaseb. they contain more vitamins than the foods people eatc. food does not provide enough vitamins people needd. people mistakenly think that they are good for their health18.from the passage, we can learn that medical experts advise people _.anever to take any vitamin supplementsbto depend only on food for their vitaminscnot to take any vitamins together with medicinesdto consult doctors before taking vitamin supplements19.for people who lack vitamin b-twelve, they can eat more from _.a. sweet potatoes b. pork products c. green leafy vegetables d. eggs20. what would be the main idea of the passage? a. vitamins are important to our health.b. vitamin supplements do harm to our health.c. getting enough vitamins through a balanced diet.d. lacking vitamins can cause many diseases.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。you may have grown up living with sisters and brothers, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. 21 however, it can also be a great part of your college experience. follow these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the year.be clear from the beginning.maybe you hate it when someone interrupts you when you are sleeping every morning. maybe you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up. 22 its not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away, and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to get rid of problems before they become problems. 23 this may seem simple, but its probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflicts. dont you think hell mind if you borrow his shoes for a quick soccer game?
