21、The midnight was approaching and it was extremely rare to see vehicles on the road. However, several trucks pulled over and workers silently unloaded camera equipment and cardboard boxes, and then carried them inside the Morgenson family home.

What took place over the next eight weeks was inspired by a Hollywood movie called The Honeses about a family of marketers who move into a local neighborhood to sell their products secretly to their neighbors. The idea was to test the power of word-of-mouth marketing. By filming a family in unscripted (无剧本的) situations, my team and I would document how the Morgensons’ circle of friend responded to brands and products the Morgensons bought into their lives.

With the help of 35 video cameras and 25 microphones hidden inside the furniture, the operation done secretly showed something shocking. The most powerful hidden persuader of all isn’t in your TV or on the shelves of your supermarket. It’s a far more important influence that’s around you almost every waking moment: your very own friends and neighbors. There is nothing quite so persuasive as observing someone we respect or admire using a brand or product.

Our analysis also found that the brands the Morgensons used went faster. About one third of the Morgensons’ friends began promoting these same brands to their friends. We also found that the brands their friends were most likely to buy at the Morgensons’ suggestion were the bigger and better-known ones. This proves my thoughts that traditional marketing and secret marketing work well together. The most persuasive advertising strategies are strengthened by word-of-mouth advertising.

Whenever I meet with company managers, I tell them that the people who hold the real marketing power are mouse-clicking consumers and their wide circles of real-life friends. In other words, the people who hold the real power are us.

【1】The author and his team went to the Morgenson family home to ________.

A．visit the Morgensons

B．sell products to them

C．carry out a marketing research

D．shoot a Hollywood movie

【2】According to the text, people are more likely to buy a product when ________.

A．noticing an advertisement for it on TV

B．seeing their friends using the same product

C．someone is promoting it in the supermarket

D．the product appears repeatedly in a movie

【3】In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text?

A．Travel.

B．Business.

C．Lifestyle.

D．Entertainment.

【4】Which of the following is WRONG?

A．Traditional marketing is ineffective.

B．The real marketing power depends on the customers.

C．The research is carried out without any special design.

D．The customers’ choice is influenced by more than one factor.

22、Scientists from the United States say they have found fish and other creatures living under key waters in Antarctica. They made the announcement after completing three months of research at the Ross Ice Shelf, the world’s largest floating ice sheet.

The researchers hoped to find clues to explain the force of the melting ice and its effect on sea level rise. Reed Scherer and Ross Powell are with Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. They just finished up their research on our southernmost continent. Money for the project came from America’s National Science Foundation.

“We chose a study site where, in the first year ,We went into the subglacial (冰川下的)lake and tried to understand the environment in there, both ecologically and in terms of the ice dynamics about how the lake operates ,and how the sediment(沉淀物) underneath the ice sheet operates, as well, because it’s the water and the sediment underneath the ice that controls how fast the ice is flowing into the ocean” says Ross Powell, who led the investigation. The team included scientists ,engineers, machinery and other supplies across the ice from the main U.S. scientific base at Mc Murdo Station to the researcher’s camp .The camp  was near a subglacial lake ,where an earlier study took place,

Ross Powell says the latest study may provide evidence that can help predict the effect of climate change on rising sea levels.

“What we have found is that these are very sensitive areas to the stability of how dynamic the ice is and how fast the ice may react to increases of melting both from the ocean and the atmosphere.”

Among the new instruments built for the project was a powerful hot water drill. The researchers used the drill to dig down some 740 meters. They collected water ,sediment and other material from the grounding zone.

Working around the clock before the deep hole refroze, they sent a video camera down to the 400-square-meter undersea area.

Reed Scherer says the video images they saw in the Command Center were a total surprise.

“It’s a very mobile environment. The bottom is changing constantly. And so the things that we saw were all very mobile organisms, things that swim and some things that crawl. And obviously they are getting enough nutrition that they can thrive, Some of the little crustacean-like creatures called amphipods that we saw swam quite quickly and were quite active.”

This is the farthest south that fish have ever been seen. How did the creatures get here? What do they feed on? And what effect will the retreating ice have on them?

Ross Powell says the ice and sediment cores taken from the grounding zone can offer clues.

“We know that the ice is melting there at the moment and so by opening up the cores once they get back, we hope to be able to understand what the ice was doing in the past ,relative to what it is doing now. And because it is melting so fast or seems to be melting fast at the moment, we anticipate that there will he some differences that we’ll see in the history of the ice sheet from the sediment cores, once we open them up .”But Ross Powell says the work raises more questions than it answers.

【1】Scientists conducted the three-month research at the Ross Ice Shelf with the intention of .

A. predicting how climate change influences rising sea levels.

B. finding out whether there are life forms existing deep under Antarctic ice.

C. proving the speed of ice flowing into the ocean is controlled by water.

D. discovering an explanation of the effect the melting ice has on sea level rise.

【2】What made the researchers surprised when they saw the video images?

A. Researchers saw fish in the farthest south for the first time.

B.A video camera was able to work well under deep icy waters.

C. Sediment cores present differences in the history of the ice sheet.

D. The drill should dig down 740 meters to collect things.

【3】From sediment cores taken from the grounding zone, scientists will probably know    .

A. what the ice will do in the near future

B. the ice in the grounding zone is melting at the moment

C. some differences rarely exist in the history of the ice sheet

D. something about the creatures under icy water in Antarctic.

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Scientists will conduct a follow-up study on the frozen continent.

B. No creatures once appeared or lived in icy water in Antarctica.

C. America’s National Science Foundation is in complete charge of the research.

D. Researchers have found how the sediment underneath the ice sheet operates.

23、   Buck did not know that there was trouble ahead, Trouble for every dog with strong muscles and warm long hair, from Seattle to southern California. Some men had found a yellow metal in the Arctic darkness, and thousands of other men were rushing there. These men wanted dogs that were heavy, with strong muscles for working hard and furry coats to protect them from the cold.

Buck lived at a big house in a sunny valley in California which was owned by Judge Miller. He was neither a house dog nor a kennel (狗窝) dog. The whole of Judge Miller's land was his. Buck was king---king over all the crawling, flying things of Judge Miller's lands, humans included.

His father, Elmo, had been the Judge's inseparable companion. And when he died, Buck took his father’s place. He was not so large---he weighed only sixty kilogram---for his mother, Shep, had been a Scottish sheepdog. Hunting and other outdoor activities had hardened his muscle, and swimming had made him healthy.

This was Buck in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike brought Men from everywhere to the frozen north. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel one of the gardeners helper, was not a good man. Manuel gambled (赌博) and wasted the little money he had. No one saw him and Buck go off on what Buck thought was a walk. No one saw them arrive at the railway station where Manuel sold Buck to a man who was waiting for him,

After two days ho was cried off the train in Seattle into a small, high-walled yard. There a fat man in a red sweater broke open the cage with a small axe (斧头)，while holding a club (棍棒) in the other hand. When there was a big enough opening, Buck jumped out like a red-eyed devil, straight at the fat man. But in mid-air, just as his teeth were going to close on the man, he received a shock that he had never felt before, It turned him over and onto the ground. He had never been struck by a club in his life, and he did not understand. He was smashed down a dozen times.

Buck saw that he stood no chance against the man with the club. He had learned the lesson, and for the rest of his life he never forgot it. It was his introduction into the world of primitive law.

In the end a small man called Perrault paid three hundred dollars for him, and he was led away with Curly, a good-natured Newfoundland dog.

【1】What kind of dogs did the gold-seekers want?

A.Heavy house dogs with yellow hair. B.Strong long-haired dogs.

24、The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know. we're while we're eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.

New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk，a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States，says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives，meaning it is something we do all the time，everywhere.

However，Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often，“We can't throw away physical activity. It's extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that. ”

  Mr. Katzmarzyk and his coi leagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡率)or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There's only been a few of them，actually five or six now，in the last four or five years. ”They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one-point four years to life.

Luckily，change is already coming to some offices，especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk”lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk. ” A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U. S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. That's one of the strategies that many companies are using now.

Mr. Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.

【1】Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr. Katzmarzyk?

A． Sitting too long may help increase one's life.

B． Exercise is important and don't sit too long.

C． Watching TV is bad，but can broaden one's horizons.

D． Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.

【2】What does Mr. Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4?

A． It's a ly new area of study.

B． It's a hot subject studied by experts.

C． It's a study that begins too late.

D． It's not ignored by many experts.

【3】Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?

A． To give them more comfort.

B． To improve their work efficiency.

C． To offer them the chance to exercise.

D． To seek pleasure while working.
