You listen to their conversation: “I cant believe ita Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find. Isnt it beautiful? And its a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. Its nice and the price is right. Youve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They 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 eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that dont pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generationconsumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They 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 go. Some people might call this practice deceptive (骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing.”However, one might ask what exactly is “real” about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say its no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You dont know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance. 1. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could_.A. get the sweater at a lower price B. be heard by people aroundC. be admired by other shoppers D. decide on buying the sweater2. Lorenzo Bertolla is_.A. a very popular male singer B. an advertising agencyC. a clothing company in Rome D. the brand name of a sweater3. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company. B. The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by ads. C. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because its too direct. D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government. 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Two Attractive Shoppers B. Lorenzo Bertolla SweatersC. Ways of Advertising D. Undercover Marketing【参考答案】14、BDCD 【2016模拟题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We live on a farmland, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprisingand, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.13. Which of the following is TRUE about the writer? A. He is very old now B. He lives in the city now C. He prefers driving a car D. He is in good health14.

The text doesnt tell us.参考答案1315 BAC 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerkHe seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchaseI bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the storeOn the outside was a dark-skinned young man in his early twentiesHis expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, bright smile covered his faceI gave in immediatelyThe power of that broad smile dissolved all bitterness within me, and I felt the muscles in my own face happily respondingBeautiful day, isnt it?
