16．Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening，I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend's roof-tops．I stopped to watch it for a few moments，thinking about what a pity it was that most citizens，myself included，usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors．
My friend had also seen it．He grew up living in a forest in Europe，and the moon meant a lot to him then．It had touched much of his life．
I know the feeling．Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends．We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water．Our group had campfires outside every night，and indoors when it was too cold outside．The moon grew to its fullest during our trip．Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys．Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard．It was one of the quietest places I have ever known，a bottomless well of silence．And above me was the full moon，which struck me deeply．
Today our lives are filled with glass，metal，plastic and fiber-glass．We have televisions，cellphones，pagers，electricity，heaters and ovens and air-conditioners，cars，computers．
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day，most of which was spent in doors，I thought that before long I would like to live in a small cottage．There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains，and perhaps write，but not in anger．I may become an old man there，and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons．But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon．
1．The best title for the passage would beB．
A．The pleasures of modern life
B．Touched by the moon
C．A bottomless well of silence
D．Break away from modern life
2．What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India？C
A．No modern equipment
B．Complete silence．
C．The nice moonlight
D．The high mountains．
3．Modern things （Paragraph 4）are mentioned mainly toC．

B．tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C．explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature
D．show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them
4．The author wrote the passage toA．
A．express the feeling of returning to nature
B．show the love for the moonlight
C．a(chǎn)dvise modern people to learn to live
D．want to communicate longing for modern life．

4．In Western countries，bread is one of the most important foods．When they get up in the morning many people eat toast （烤面包）．They spread butter and jam on their toast．People eat bread at other times of the day too．For example，at main meals，they often eat bread with soup．
It's also very common to eat sandwiches．A sandwich is two pieces of bread with a filling inside-salad，cheese or fish．A hamburger is a kind of sandwich．
There are many different kinds of bread．Some are special to some countries．For example，the baguette （法國棍子面包） is a long，thin loaf that began in France．
There is also white bread and whole-wheat （全麥面） bread．What's the difference？White bread is refined （精制的）．It has things taken out of it to make it softer and easier to eat．The trouble is，white bread also has lots of goodness taken out．Although some people dislike the taste of whole-wheat bread，it is much healthier．
Some kinds of bread have additives （添加劑）．They are put into the bread for many reasons．Some additives are good for you-for example vitamin C．Others are there to make the bread last longer．Still others to make it taste better-but they do not necessarily make the bread healthier to eat!
53．People in the west haveB as their main food．
A．butter           
B．bread           
C．cheese           
D．fish
54．The fourth paragraph tells usC
A．how to make white bread           
B．how to make whole-wheat bread
C．the difference between white bread and whole-wheat bread
D．people dislike the taste of whole-wheat bread
55．Which of the statements about additives（添加劑） is WRONG？B

11．Who decided that blue jeans and T-shirts are"cool"for kids to wear today？Who designs the clothes you see for sale in stores？All of these questions concern the world of fashion．
Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular．Fashion goes beyond just clothes，though．It's important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles．For others，though，keeping up with trends isn't that important．The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this：it always changes!
In the 1960s and 1970s，hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular．In the 1980s，Michael Jackson made parachute pants （降落傘褲） all the fashion．Now try to find these items in today's clothing stores!
Why do fashions change？The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change．Over time，the new replaces the old．People are influenced greatly by popular culture，including athletes，musicians，movie stars，as well as popular films，television shows，books and music．We are also influenced by the fashion industry's advertising．
The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain （保持） their popularity．Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles．When people see these new styles，they often want to imitate their favorite stars．To do so，they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate．In this way，fashions evolve and change over time．
For years，clothes have been used to separate people into groups．Even today，brand-name clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others．
Unfortunately，this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others．Don't forget that it's always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines!Stay true to yourself and let your personality-not your clothes-speak for who you are!
32．The examples of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 3suggest thatA．
A．fashion always changes    
B．stars are always influential
C．people have different dressing styles
D．hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers
33．Fashions change mainly becauseB．
A．a(chǎn)dvertisements change rapidly      
B．popular culture influences people
C．movie stars are changing over time  
D．new films and shows replace the old
34．In the last paragraph，the author mainly wants to stressD．
A．the advantages of staying unique   
B．the bad effects of following fashion
C．the good influences of popular styles
D．the importance of having one's own personality
35．We can learn from the text thatC．
A．fashion is all about clothes    
B．the author has gone out of fashion
C．clothes may separate and distance people
D．people like imitating others'dressing style．

5．It's a brand new world-a world built around brands．Hard charging，noise making，culture shaping brands are everywhere．They're on supermarket shelves，of course，but also in business plans for dotcom startups and in the names of sports complexes．Brands are infiltrating（滲透）people's everyday lives-by sticking their logos on clothes，in concert programs，on subway station walls，even in elementary school classrooms．
We live in an age in which CBS newscasters wear Nike jackets on the air，in which Burger King and McDonald's open newsstands in elementary-school lunchrooms，in which schools like Stanford University are endowed with a Yahoo!Founders Chair．But as brands reach （and then overreach）into every aspect of our lives，the companies behind them invite more questions，deeper examination-and an inevitable backlash （強烈反應(yīng)） by consumers．
"Our intellectual lives and our public spaces are being taken over by marketing-and that has real implications for citizenship，"says author and activist Naomi Klein．"It's important for any healthy culture to have public space-a place where people are treated as citizens instead of as consumers．We've completely lost that space．"
Since the mid-1980s，as more and more companies have shiftedfrom being about products to being about ideas-Starbucks isn't selling coffee；it's selling community!-those companies have poured more and more resources into marketing campaigns．
To pay for those campaigns，those same companies figured out ways to cut costs else where-for example，by using contract labor at home and low-wage labor in developing countries．Contract laborers are hired on a temporary，per-assignment basis，and employers have no obligation to provide any benefits（such as health insurance）or long-term job security．This saves companies money but obviously puts workers in vulnerable situations．In the United States，contract labor has given rise to so-called McJobs，which employers and workers alike pretend are temporary-even though these jobs are usually held by adults who are trying to support families．
The massive expansionof marketing campaigns in the 1980s coincided with the reduction of government spending for schools and for museums．This made those institutions much too willing，even eager，to partner with private companies．But companies took advantage of the needs of those institutions，reaching too far，and overwhelming the civic space with their marketing agendas．

31．What does the passage intend to tell us？D
A．The problems with current corporate practices．
B．The nature of current marketing campaigns and strategies．
C．The importance of brands in American culture．
D．The excessive presence of brands and marketing in people's lives．
32．What is Naomi Klein's attitude towards the infiltration of brands into public spaces？A
A．Concerned．B．Indifferent．C．Favorable．D．Optimistic．
33．The passage suggests that most contract laborers in the U．S．B．
A．pretend to be permanent workers
B．may have trouble supporting their families financially
C．have work conditions comparable to those of low-wage workers overseas
D．a(chǎn)re likely to receive health benefits from their employers
34．We may infer from the last paragraph thatC．
A．inadequate federal funding facilitated the privatization of schools and museums
B．government reduced spending for schools and museums for their cooperation with companies
C．public institutions were only too anxious to accept corporate marketing as a source of funding
D．by the 1980s，very few public institutions were not being funded by corporations．
