17.Americans are buying more products and services than ever before through the Internet.And experts say the popularity of online sales is likely to spread to other countries.Online sales now represent as much as 10% of all retail sales in the United States.This has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal.
Lynne used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and stepdaughter.Other than food,90% of her purchases were made on her home computer."I find that,by being able to go online and choose the things that I need,and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep,I eliminate all the driving,all the crowds,all the noise of that,and I usually get a better selection."
There are a lot of people like her.Experts say American online shopping hit records in both November and December.57% of Americans have bought something electronically.Store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business.Cornell University marketing professor Ed Melaughlin says they can keep their customers by selling goods like clothing,which buyers may want to see and try on before purchasing.The stores could also offer things that are difficult to ship.Besides,some stores can please customers by offering to repair electronic products.
Bill Martin is the founder of Shopper Trak.His business helps stores learn about their customers.He said,"There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision,you know,that takes place.Often you need that last sense of‘Boy,this is exactly what I want'before you are ready to part with money,and you can't always get that online.It's a rather cold process."
While e-commerce worries some business owners,the only worry for delivery services is keeping up with the number of packages.UPS manager Dana Kline says her company is very busy at this time of year.UPS is so busy that it has filled 55,000temporary work positions during the holiday season.

40.The example of Lynne is mentioned in the passage to showA.
A.online business has changed many Americans'life.
B.online sales will replace traditional sales sooner or later.
C.traditional stores can't offer enough food to their customers.
D.traditional stores find new ways to keep their customers loyal
41.The underlined word"eliminate"in Paragragh2can be replaced byD?
A.Include    B.Decrease    C.Discourage   D.Avoid
42.It is implied in Bill Martin's words thatC.
A.Store owners should learn more about their customers
B.traditional stores can provide goods to buyers more quickly
C.Traditional stores offer a social experience that some people enjoy
D.Some owners are using websites to persuade people to visit their stores
43.The purpose of this passage is to tell usB
A.The challenge online owners are faced with
B.the challenge e-commerce causes to traditional sales
C.The difference between online sales and traditional sales
D.the trouble that customers often meet when purchasing online.

分析 作者写本文的目的是想提醒人们电子商务给传统购物带来的挑战.

解答 40.A推理判断题.由第二段的内容可知,作者举Lynne网上购物的例子是为了说明美国人越来越热衷于网上购物,这种方式不仅改变了传统的购物方式,也改变了美国人的生活.故选A.
41.D词义猜测题.根据画线词所在句中的"all the driving,all the crowds and all the noise of that"可知,此处指网上购物可避免传统购物所遇到的问题.所以把该词理解为"avoid"最合适.故选D.
42.C推理判断题.根据第四段中Bill Martin所说的话可以推出,Bill Martin认为,传统的去实体店购物有网购无法提供的东西,那就是社交体验.故选C.
43.B主旨大意题.从全文尤其是第一段的最后一句"This has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal."可知,作者写本文的目的是想提醒人们电子商务给传统购物带来的挑战.故选B.

点评 本文是人物故事类阅读理解.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

7.[1]My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago.She applied to job openings she'd found on a couple of big online job boards.She mailed the applications and waited.And waited.After sending out 100 resumes(履历表),specially addressed to each organization's human resources(HR) manager,fewer than five HR departments took the time to reply,or acknowledged receipt.
[2]What happened?
[3]Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resume received,each HR person made a snap decision.It seemed that 95 of them were unimpressioned.
[4]Or,maybe,out of the 300 other resumes HR had received that morning,they had already scheduled a requisite(必要的) number of interviews.Or,maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to the hiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview.
[5]Or,maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic(一般的) and they didn't have time to figure out if she might be a good fit,with the necessary skills,attitudes,and the desire to do the job.
[6]Most likely,the real reason why she didn't get an interview was the last one.HR didn't have time to figure out how she would work in their company.
[7]This happens all the time.I think most job seekers make the serious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HR department what they did in the past.
[8]That might be OK for some hiring managers,but most want to know the answer to one question:How can this applicant help us right now?If your resume does not answer that question,or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help,you won't have a shot at the job in this market.
[9]Before you can answer that question,however,you need to do some research on the company.Find out everything you can about the company,including the departments,the people,the products,markets,and the plans for the future.
[10]Information is power,and it is available quite easily.Don't expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization.You _________ instead.This is the surest way to get the interview.
 
76.What's the main idea of this passage?(within 20 words)How to turn a job application into an interview./Reasons forfailing and suggestions on succeeding in a job interview.
77.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
You should tell the HR what you can do for them in your resume and then you may be able to find a job.
If your resume does not answer that question,or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help,you won't have a shot at the job in this market.
78.Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words.(within 8 words)
make it clear in advance/figure it out beforehand
79.List two of the reasons why most HR managers even didn't give the girl a reply.
(each within 10 words)
①Her resume was unimpressed./The HR wasn't impressed withher resume.
②The HR got too many resumes at a time.
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 into Chinese.
我认为大多数求职者犯了这个严重错误:他们认为自己所需做的无非是告诉人力资源部门他们曾做过什么..

8.Below is a selection from a popular science book.
If blood is red,why are veins (静脉) blue?
Actually,veins are not blue at all.They are more of a clear,yellowish colour.Although blood looks red when it's outside the body,when it's sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin,it's more of a dark reddish purple colour.At the right depth,these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin,making them look blue by comparison.
Which works harder,your heart or your brain?
That kind of question depends on whether you are busy thinking or busy exercising.Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise,and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker.But,in the long run,your brain probably tips it,because even when you're sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart,and it takes four to five tunes as much blood to feed it.
Why do teeth fall out,and why don't they grow back in grown-ups?
Baby (or"milk") teeth do not last long; they fall out to make room for bigger,stronger adult teeth later on.Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged,decayed and infected by bacteria.Once this second set of teeth has grown in,you're done.When they're gone,they're gone.This is because nature figures you're set for life,and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.
Do old people shrink as they age?
Yes and do.Many people do get shorter as they age.But,when they do,it isn't because they're shrinking all over.They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects,of gravity (重力).Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older.Men lose an average of 3-4cm in height as they age,while women may lose 5cm or more.If you live to be 200years old,would you keep shrinking till you were,like 60cm tall,like a little boy again?No,because old people don't really shrink!It is not that they are growing backwards----their legs,arms and backbones getting shorter.When they do get shorter,it's because the spine has shortened a little.Or,more often,become more bait and curved.
Why does spinning make you dizzy (眩晕的)?
Because your brain gets confused between what you're seeing and what you're feeling.The brain senses that you're spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear,which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable.But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control,and your brain thinks you're moving while you're Dot!
Where do feelings and emotions come from?
Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system.All mammals have this brain area-from mice to dogs,cats,and humans.So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear,pain and pleasure.But since human feelings also involve other,newer bits of the brain,we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on the planet.
If exercise wears you out,how can it be good for you?
Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them.And as far as your body is concerned,it's"use it,or lost it"!It's not that exercise makes you healthy; it's more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.
67.What is the colour of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?B
A.Blue.
B.Dark reddish purple.
C.Red.
D.Light yellow.
68.Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?C
A.Because they are more easily affected by gravity.
B.Because their spine is in active use.
C.Because their spine becomes more bent.
D.Because they keep growing backwards.
69.Which of the following statements about our brain is true?A
A.In the long run,our brain probably works harder than our heart.
B.When our brain senses the spinning,we will fell dizzy.
C.The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans.
D.Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain.
70.What is the main purpose of the selection?D
A.To give advice on how to stay healthy.
B.To challenge new findings in medical research.
C.To report the latest discoveries in medical science.
D.To provide information about our body.

12.Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions.Luckily,what psychologists are finding may help us all make better choices.Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind.
Consider your emotions.You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision making,but in fact they're a part of it.Whenever you make up your mind,your brain's emotional center is active.University of Southern California scientist,Antonio Damasio,has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains,and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat.Damasio thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choices,which we use to help the present decision making.
However,making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result.Take anger,for example.A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices.It seems anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking.
All emotions affect our thinking and motivation,so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence.Yet strangely there's one emotion that seems to help us make good choices.The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer,and ended up making the best choices.In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world.

63.According to the text,what may help us make better decisions?D
A.To think about happy times.
B.To make many decisions at a time.
C.To stop feeling regretful about the past.
D.To learn about the process of decision-making.
64.Damasio's study suggests thatD.
A.emotions are the enemy of decision making
B.our brain has nothing to do with decision making
C.people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds
D.our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions
65.Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered?B
A.They often forget their past choices.
B.They make decisions without much thinking.
C.They tend to save time when shopping.
D.They are too angry to bargain.
66.What do we learn from the text?A
A.Emotions are a part of decision making.
B.Sad people always make the worst choices.
C.No emotion seems to help us make good choices.
D.Only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation.
