But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now youre inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. Its so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest its better to shop when its quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.（1）Smells from bread in the supermarket _. A . make you feel hungry and buy more foodB . draw your attention to bread onlyC . make you buy less bread than you needD . force you to leave the supermarket（2）Supermarkets dont provide baskets because _. A . supermarkets dont usually have manyB . baskets are too small to hold many productsC . its easy to go shopping with trolleysD . a trolley can hold one or two products inside（3）According to the passage, supermarkets put red stickers on products to _. A . make them look more beautifulB . make them different from cheaper onesC . make people think the stickers are for menD . make people think they could save money（4）According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed _. A . on higher shelvesB . on each shelfC . on lower shelvesD . on the back shelves（5）It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that supermarkets usually _. A . stop people lining up at the checkoutsB . close on Monday morningC . play loud and noisy music insideD . make customers feel relaxed（6）The passage is mainly about _. A . several ways supermarkets use to sell more productsB . some advice when people go shopping on the streetC . several rules that every business should followD . some advertisements that make people buy more四、 任务型阅读 (共2题；共40分)24. （10分）根据短文内容，填写所缺单词，每个空格只填1个单词。USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in? We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.Its true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.Students must also learn to live without parents care and deal with all kinds of things they havent had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.Title: Studying at home or study _?Phenomenon（现象）Studying abroad has become a _for Chinese students.AdvantagesIt is helpful for Chinese students to _themselves.It is helpful for Chinese students to _foreign language skills.It enables(使能够) Chinese students to find jobs more _._It _Chinese students too much time to learn a foreign language.Its hard for Chinese students to get used to the life abroad _parents care.Parents may be under pressure（压力）because the cost of studying abroad is very _Purpose: To tell us studying abroad is not the only way to be _by describing Liu Xiangs example.25. （30分）Answer the questions. Ms LaRosa is a great teacher. She can answer almost any question that you have about any history topic and if she cannot, she will try her best to help you find the answer. Although she has a hearing aid(助听器)，she does not let that prevent her from being a great teacher. She told the class about it on the first day and told us not to let it get in the way of our learning and not to treat her differently.We all like her class, especially an activity which is called the station. Stations are when our tables of four or five become our groups and we go through four various activities, such as Ancient China, in which we need to put together a sentence and write it using ancient symbols. Each station needs about 40 minutes to complete.Ms LaRosa has a policy that not many teachers give a second thought to. That is writing in cursive( 草书的) letters. She will provide you with various resources so that your cursive handwriting is the best that it can be. Ms LaRosa always says that she has a reason for everything that she does. Recently we just understood her reason for supporting cursive handwriting. Cursive writing can force you to think in words but not in letters. Also it has been proven that people who write in cursive letters do better on tests.Ms LaRosas class gets to do various fun and exciting things. She also uses real examples from her own life, such as things that her daughter has done. Ms LaRosa also has absolute trust in her students. She always leaves h
