They are almost impossible to findIsnt it beautiful? And its a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome”They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweaterIts nice and the price is rightYouve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylishThey must knowSo, you buy itYou never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agencyThey are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothesEvery day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eatingIf the person looks cool, the product seems cool, tooThis is the secret of undercover marketingCompanies from Ford to Nike are starting to use itUndercover marketing is important because it reaches people that dont pay attention to traditional advertisingThis is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 34It is a golden groupThey have a lot of money to spend, but they dont trust adsSo advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults goSome people might call this practice deceptive（骗人的）, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative“Look at traditional advertisingIts 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 adThe difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy somethingYou don t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance56The two attractive young women were talking so that they could _Aget the sweater at a lower priceBbe heard by people aroundCbe admired by other shoppers Ddecide on buying the sweater57Lorenzo Bertolla is _Aa very popular male singer Ban advertising agencyCa clothing company in Rome Dthe brand name of a sweater58Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?AThe two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla CompanyBThe MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by adsCTraditional advertising is becoming less effective because its too directDUndercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government59Which of the following would be the best title for the text?ATwo Attractive Shoppers BLorenzo Bertolla SweatersCWays of Advertising DUndercover MarketingBThe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some familiesBut it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image （印象） of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrelsAn important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past“We were surprised by just how positive todays young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team“Theyre expected to be rebellious（叛逆的） and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them wellTheres more negotiation（商议） and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making processThey dont want to rock the boat”So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall“I always tell them when Im going out clubbingAs long as they know what Im doing, theyre fine with it” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees“Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiationFor example, as long as Id done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday nightBut I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that”Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpectedIt is possible that the idea of teenager rebellion is not rooted in real factsA researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beingsBut that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelledThe normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over”60What is the popular images of teenagers today?AThey worry about school BThey dislike living with their parentsCThey have to be locked in to avoid troubles DThey quarrel a lot with other family members61The study shows that teenagers dont want to _Ashare family responsibilityBcause trouble in their familiesCgo boating with their family Dmake family decisions62Compared with parents of 30 years age, todays parents_Ago to clubs more often with their children Bare much stricter with their childrenCcare less about their childrens life Dgive their children more freedom63According to the author, teenage rebellion_Amay be a false belief Bis common nowadaysCexisted only in the 1960s Dresulted from changes in familiesCDear all,Please read Professor Humes email about his next lecture on Rosa ParksSusan MillerSecretaryDear Susan,Please forward this message to students of my history classBesides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook, the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school libraryTed HumeThe early experiences of Rosa Parks（1913-2005）, long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement, ”were not different from those of many African-Americans at that timeThe black woman, however, turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man“By sitting down, ”remarked John Lewis, “she was standing up for all Americans”Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom（1996）and the Congressional Gold Medal（1999）Parks died on Oct24, 2005At StPaul AMEChurch in Montgomery, a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her lifeRice said she and others, who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention, might not have realized her impact（影响）on their lives, “but I can honestly say that without MrsParks, I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State”After her casket（灵柩）was placed at the Capitol, USPresident Bush, members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respectsIn American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol, a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States64What is the main purpose of Susans email?ATo make arrangements for Professor Humes classBTo introduce to the students Rosa ParksCTo help the students organize a lecture DTo answer Professor Humes last email65What does the underlined word “forward” mean?AExplainBSendCTakeDRead66The political impact of Rosa Parks lies in the fact that she Ahelped Condoleezza Rice achieve political successBjoined the civil rights movement at a young ageCmade racial equality a common value in American societyDset a good example in her early life for other black Americans67How was Rosa Parks treated after her death?AShe was named “mother of the civil rights movement”BShe was received by President Bush at the CapitolCShe was given the Presidential Medal of FreedomDShe was honored to lie in state at the CapitolDThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artistsNo matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause changeto find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it beforeLandscape（风景） is another unchanging element of artIt can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionistsIn the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practiceLeslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half beforeUnlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually seesIn his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the backgroundHe also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography（摄影术） to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroomBesides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or anotherThe impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forestsTo sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periodsOver thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constantPast or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experienceMany and different are the faces of art, and together the
