questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage A In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight Two full inches in the first three days These are the kinds of statements used in magazine newspaper radio and television ads promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device The promoters of products say they can shape the legs 6 slim the face smooth wrinkles or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability Often such products are nothing more than money making things for their promoters The results they produce are questionable and some are dangerous to health To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation If the product is a drug FDA Food and Drug Administration can require proof under the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market But if the product is a device FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness If a product already on the market is a danger to health FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily or it can take legal action including seizure 查封 of the product One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor which had been sold for reducing the waistline The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life Obviously most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings 法律诉讼 and new devices appear continually Before buying it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items 56 It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are A objective B costly C unreliable D illegal 57 Which of the following is TRUE according to the text A The court is in charge of removing dangerous products B New products are more likely to be questionable C The

false promises B show the weakness of the law on product safety C give advice on how to keep young and beautiful D introduce the organization of FDA B B When was the last time someone did something unexpectedly nice for you Not someone you knew but a total stranger It s happened to me a few times but two instances really stand out A few years ago I was dining out with a person who kept going on and on about himself completely oblivious to the fact that I was sitting there in misery It wasn t his company that disappointed me I was recovering from a broken heart and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship I could have collapsed in tears right there at the table When we picked up the check the waitress said Your meal was already paid for My friend and I didn t have a clue how it happened Then I remembered a man coming in out of the corner of my eye He was dressed in mostly white sat down at the bar had a glass of wine stayed for maybe ten minutes and then left The waitress said Yes the gentleman who was in here a while ago paid for you Just last year I was running a half marathon With just 0 1 miles to go I was out of gas Runners call it hitting the wall I thought I couldn t move another muscle Out of nowhere a teenager jogs up next to me and says What s your name sweetie Jennifer Okay Jennifer let s go Come on It s just around the corner You can do it And he ran with me until I picked up my pace I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn t even supposed to be in the race that day He was running in place of someone else I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need Do you have any experiences like this 61 Which of the following is the best title for the passage A The Kindness of StrangersB An Unpleasant Companion C Two Special ExperiencesD Hitting the Wall 62 Why did the author say he was in misery A Because he couldn t enjoy his meal B Because he fell into conflict with his companion C Because his companion talked a lot 8 D Because he was then disappointed in love 63 What do you think of the man paying for the meal A He showed his kindness

believes his experience today B The author feels grateful for the help he received C The author thinks everyone is an angel D The author often gets help expectedly C Apparently your mom had it right when she threatened to wash your mouth out with soap if you talked dirty Lying really does create a desire to clean the dirty body part according to a study by University of Michigan The references to dirty hands or dirty mouths in everyday language suggest that people think about abstract issues of moral purity in terms of more experiences with physical purity said Spike W S Lee a U M doctoral candidate who conducted the study with Norbert Schwarz a psychologist at the U M Institute for Social Research ISR the Ross School of Business and the U M psychology department For the study Lee and Schwarz asked 87 students to play the role of lawyers competing with a colleague Chris for a promotion Each was asked to imagine they found an important document that Chris had lost and that returning the document would help his career and hurt their own career Each participant was instructed to leave Chris a message by either voice mail or email telling him who they were and either lying that they could not find his document or telling the truth that they had found the document Next participants rated the desirability of several products as part of a supposed marketing survey and reported how much they were willing to pay for each product The products included mouthwash 漱口剂 and hand sanitizer 洗手 液 Study participants who lied on the phone leaving an untrue and mean voicemail felt a stronger desire for mouthwash and were willing to pay more for it than those who lied on e mail And conversely those who lied on e mail typing the same mean message felt a stronger desire for hand sanitizer and 9 were willing to pay more for that Saying nice and morally correct things on the other hand made it less appealing to clean the body part involved in conveying the message In scientific terms the findings showed that the embodiment 体现 of moral purity is specific to the modality involved in the moral misbehavior Verbal lying increased participants assessment of mouthwash while lying on e mail using their hands increased the assessment of hand sanitizer s value This study shows how concrete the symbolic links are between abstract and concrete domains of life Schwarz said Not only do people want to clean after a dirty deed they want to clean the specific body part involved 66 The study of scientists proved that A telling a lie makes you want to have a bath B the cleaner you are the fewer lies you will tell C mothers care for their children s mouth sanitary D there is a need to clean the body part that lies 67 According to the text Chris A is an imaginary character B is a famous careless lawyer C is a college student D is a mouthwash and hand sanitizer seller 68 The underlined word that in Paragraph 5 may refer to A mouthwash B hand sanitizer C e mail D voice mail 69 If you wrote to tell a lie you might wash A your eyes B your head C your hands D your feet 70 Where can we most likely read this text A In a scientist s diary B In a class experiment report C In a social column of a newspaper D In a popular science magazine PARTPART FOUR FOUR WRITINGWRITING SectionSection A A 10Points 10Points Directions Read the following passage Complete the diagram by using the
