Are supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more? When you enter a supermarket, the manager knows         than you do how you will behave — which        you will walk, where you will        , what will make you      one product rather than another. When customers go into a shop, they      look to their left       move  towards the right. So supermarket entrances are usually on the left of the building, and the arrangement is to take shoppers       the store ,aisle after aisle, from left to right. Then shoppers will pay attention to all the      .
Fresh fruit and        are displayed near supermarket entrances. This gives the        that only healthy food is sold in the shop.       foods that everyone buys, like sugar and tea are put near each other. They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past other attractive foods        they find what they want. In this way, shoppers are      to buy products that they do not really       .
People walk quickly through      aisles, but they move more slowly in wide aisles and give more attention to the products. One best-selling       for products is at the end of aisles, because shoppers        to turn into the next aisles.
Sweets are often placed at children’s        level at the checkout. While parents are waiting to pay, children        the sweets and put them in the trolley.
Customers buy more when shelves are      than when they are half empty because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.

解析試題分析:本文詳細(xì)介紹了超市的貨物的位置擺放的原因,以及人們的一些購(gòu)物習(xí)慣。告訴我們超市里的所有安排都是為了讓顧客購(gòu)買更多的東西,處于賺取利潤(rùn)的目的。
【小題1】B 詞義辨析。A更早B更好C更多D更少;本句中的better是well的比較級(jí)形式,指超市的經(jīng)理比顧客對(duì)于顧客在超市里的行動(dòng)了解得更好。
【小題2】D 名詞辨析。A邊B方法C地方D方向,方法;本句是指超市經(jīng)理了解你會(huì)走向哪個(gè)方向。
【小題3】B 動(dòng)詞辨析。A走B看C停止D站立;前一句指經(jīng)理指代你會(huì)走向什么方法,本句指他知道你會(huì)看那里。
【小題4】A 上下文串聯(lián)。顧客來(lái)到超市,當(dāng)然是要購(gòu)買東西,故A正確。BCD三項(xiàng)不符合邏輯關(guān)系。
【小題5】A 副詞辨析。A自然地B僅僅C容易D匆忙地;當(dāng)顧客走進(jìn)一家商店,他們很自然地朝左邊看,但是卻走向右邊。這就是為什么很多超市的入口處都在左邊而不是右邊的原因。
【小題6】C 上下文串聯(lián)。前半句說(shuō)他們進(jìn)入商店朝左邊看,下句說(shuō)他們卻走向右邊。上下文之間存在著轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
【小題7】C 介詞辨析。A進(jìn)入B沿著C環(huán)繞D通過(guò);Take sb around….帶著某人四處參觀….;超市的安排就是讓顧客們四處參觀,購(gòu)買物品。
【小題8】D 名詞辨析。A價(jià)格B標(biāo)志C貨架D產(chǎn)品;顧客們?cè)诔欣锂?dāng)然是注意到超市里的所有的商品,D項(xiàng)正確。這也正是超市里這樣安排的目的。
【小題9】B 上下文串聯(lián)。前面的Fresh fruit說(shuō)明本空要填的名詞與之是一類的,故B項(xiàng)符合上下文。指新鮮的蔬菜水果被擺放在一起。
【小題10】A 名詞辨析。A印象B影響C想法D表情;超市把新鮮的蔬菜水果放在入口處的附近,就是想給顧客留下一個(gè)這家超市出售的產(chǎn)品都是新鮮的印象。
【小題11】D 形容詞辨析。A新鮮的B重要的C迅速的D基本的;通過(guò)下文的like sugar and tea可知糖和茶之類的產(chǎn)品都是人們生活必需的基本日用品。故D正確。
【小題12】C 連詞辨析。A當(dāng)…時(shí);B除非,如果…不…;C在…前;D直到…才;在他們買到自己想要的東西之前超市里的這些安排都在暗暗地帶領(lǐng)著顧客逛著超市。故C正確。
【小題13】B 短語(yǔ)辨析。Be encouraged to do sth被鼓勵(lì)做某事;在商店里,顧客都是被鼓勵(lì)著購(gòu)買自己實(shí)際上并不需要的東西。其余三項(xiàng)語(yǔ)義不搭配。
【小題14】C 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)上文描述可知超市里很多安排的目的就是讓顧客購(gòu)買很多他們并不需要的東西。
【小題15】A 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)they move more slowly in wide aisles可知上下文之間存在著對(duì)比關(guān)系,這里使用narrow與wide相對(duì)應(yīng)。
【小題16】D 名詞辨析。A案件B點(diǎn)C例子D位置;貨物賣得最好的位置就是在通道的盡頭,因?yàn)轭櫩投紩?huì)在那里慢下來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)向另外一個(gè)通道。故D項(xiàng)正確。
【小題17】A 短語(yǔ)辨析。A變慢B快點(diǎn)C步行D出現(xiàn);貨物賣得最好的位置就是在通道的盡頭,因?yàn)轭櫩投紩?huì)在那里慢下來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)向另外一個(gè)通道。這里的slow down符合上下文。
【小題18】B 上下文串聯(lián)。在收銀的地方擺放著很多的糖果,這些糖果的位置通常都是和孩子的眼睛一樣的高度。目的在于吸引孩子購(gòu)買這些糖果。
【小題19】D 短語(yǔ)辨析。A付錢B關(guān)心C尋找D伸手去拿;本句是指糖果的位置和孩子的眼睛差不多高,便于孩子伸手去拿這些糖果。
【小題20】C 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)下句中的half empty可知這里是指貨架是滿的,與貨架是半空著的對(duì)比。
考點(diǎn):考察說(shuō)明文

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced in the meantime.A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can     swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still       away.A mother who has not      the words or years can teach her daughter the poem that begins " Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or        the story of Cinderella or Snow White .
One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:        we have learned something, additional learning increases the        of time we will remember it.In childhood, we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and        ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle.twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White.We not only learn but
      
The law of over learning explains why cramming (突擊學(xué)習(xí)) for an examination.      it may result in a passing grade, is not a        way to learn a school course.By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is       soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little over learning,       , is usually a good investment toward the future.

Recently, we went on a vacation for a week that involved visiting four different ports in the sunny and warm climate of the Caribbean. There were         of laughter, fun and great food. It’s a        thing when you go away that each day of the vacation also        to the end and a return to work.
It was twelve years since we went on a vacation, so this vacation was viewed with        of a great break away from my daily routine. And we weren’t        .
But there was something very different about this vacation compared to those when we worked in a corporative environment. The main       was that when we returned, when the vacation was rapidly drawing to a close, we didn’t have the same feeling of     stress, anxiety and fear.
In this recent vacation, it wasn’t that we        enjoyed the various fun and new activities, the break away from routine, the pleasure of touring different countries and cultures, the         to do what we wanted when we wanted or the leisurely      of each day that was significant. What was significant was that we didn’t       fear the last day of vacation. You see, we know that we were        what we love to do not what we had to do.
The feelings experienced in the last couple of days of vacation were viewed with the same joy as the very first days. In the previous times, the last days of vacation were terrible. We experience an increasing        of stress      we knew that a return to our field of employment was “work” and not        that we loved and thoroughly enjoyed.
The        is this: If you do what you love, it doesn’t matter       that a vacation has to end. If you love what you do you will not        yourself wishing for even a few more days of vacation, or wishing that you could      enjoying this vacation for much, much longer. A love of what you do        you back like a magnet.

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled(鋪瓦的)ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is     .
Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room      I see is hair.” Once you’ve     what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will     make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different     , or forget about it and      the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively      life, yet are essentially unhappy. while people who have suffered a great deal but     remain happy.
The first      is gratitude. All happy people are      . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to      , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is      that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvious      are those pursuit that give our lives purpose — anything     studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are     to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our     has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We       a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should     this truth: if you choose to find the  in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is     your decision to make.
