    Multitasking
    What is the first thing you nitice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?
    But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sightsand sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
    A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.
    When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on slaes. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
    Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.
    Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.
    小题1:According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?
    A．Friendly assistant.B．Unique scents.
    C．Soft background musicD．attractive window display.
    小题2:E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .
    A．ashow the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores
    B．urge shop assistants to change their attitude
    C．push stores to use sights and sounds
    D．introduce the rise of e-commerce
    小题3:The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ .
    A．a platform that exhibts goods
    B．a spot where travelers like to stay
    C．a place where customers love to go
    D．a target that a store expects to meet
    小题4:The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .
    A．compare and evaluateB．examine and assess
    C．argue and discussD．inform and explain

    小题1:B 
    小题2:A 
    小题3:C
    小题4:D

    【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了采用香味提高销售量的理念。文章讲述了香味对于传统实体店的影响。各大品牌店都加强了味觉对顾客消费欲求的刺激，并根据商品不同调节香味。
    小题1: B 考查细节阅读。根据第二段“And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase”可知，此句中的it指的是前面的scent.故此题选B。
    小题2: A 考查判断推理。根据第五段“while e-shops …only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience”一句来判断，作者的倾向非常明显，认为实体店能提供完成购物体验，即强调传统实体店的优势。故选A。
    小题3: C 考查词义猜测。“destination”的本意是目的地，与上面提到的“shop”场地相通，但意义迥异，不仅是购物的地方，更多的是一种购物的完整体验，有视觉、听觉和味觉的多重享受。这里的意义是针对消费者而言的，而不是商店或商家。A、D选项都是针对商家说的，而B跟文章没有关系。故本题选C。
    小题4: D 考查主旨大意的推断。这篇文章主要是谈论香味对购物心理的影响，是一篇说明文，所以重在介绍和解释香味对于实体店的影响。A项意为对比和评估，对比谈到了，而评价涉及较少；B意为检测和评估，科学检测意味太浓，跟本文大意不符。C项意为争辩，没有批评靶子的情况下，这种说法不成立。所以本题选D，只是介绍了解释了“香味”，没有进行科学试验。

    This the best time and this the worst time；this is the time of great material richness and this is the time of desert of soul．Everyone seems to be rushing around for something but they have never fulfilled they dream．Everyone tries to seek happiness but it seems to be nowhere to be found．
    When asked“what on earth can make you happy?”，most modern man would give similar replies such as becoming extremely wealthy，or getting promoted in work and then becoming very wealthy．When asked“what will you do with your wealth?”，they would make a long list of things they have been longing for．However haven’t you noticed the multibillionaires are not as happy as we common guys suppose them to be?Haven’t you noticed that the multibillionaire celebrities don’t even enjoy the fundamental freedom of going shopping with their own families without being followed by annoying paparazzi?
    If we hinge our happiness on such big issues，we are bound to be unhappy all through our  life, because those big issues might just occur to us once in a blue moon.
    As Socrates once put it，“He is the richest who is content with the least，for content is the wealth of nature”．But how can we “be content with the least”?If you pay due attention，our life is loaded with little joys，sometime too little to be noticeable．Stop once in a while in your rush to your destination，look around and you will see that there are always little things worth cheering for. You got an“A”in a test．Good!You listened to all inspiring lecture．Great!You offered a helping hand to someone who had a flat tire! Amazing! Your dream girl／boy greeted you with a sweet smile!Fantastic!And so on and so forth!Let’s cheer for the little joys in life!
    Please keep in mind that never should we wait to be happy!
    小题1:What is the best title of the text?

    Scientists have long puzzled over how iguanas, a group of lizards(蜥蜴) mostly found in the Americas, came to live in the isolated Pacific islands of Fiji and Tonga. Some scientists used to suppose that they must have traveled there on a raft, a journey of around 5,000 miles from South America to the islands. There are documented cases of iguanas reaching remote Caribbean islands and the Galapagos Islands on floating logs. But new research in January by Brice Noonan and Jack Sites suggested that iguanas may have simply walked to Fiji and Tonga when the islands were still a part of an ancient southern supercontinent.
    The ancient supercontinent was made up of present-day Africa, Australia, Antarctica and parts of Asia. If that’s the case, the island species would need to be very old. Using “molecular (分子) clock” analysis of living iguanas’ DNA, Noonan and Sites found that, sure enough, the lineage of iguanas has been around for more than 60 million years—easily old enough to have been in the area when the islands were still connected by land bridges to Asia or Australia.
    Fossils (化石) uncovered in Mongolia suggest that iguanid ancestors did once live in Asia. Though there’s currently no fossil evidence of iguanas in Australia, that doesn’t necessarily mean they were never there. “The fossil record of this continent is surprisingly poor and cannot be taken as evidence of true absence,” the authors write.
    So if the iguanas simply walked to Fiji and Tonga from Asia or possibly Australia, why are they not also found on the rest of the Pacific islands? Noonan and Sites say fossil evidence suggests that iguana species did once inhabit other islands, but went extinct right around the time when humans settled in those islands. But Fiji and Tonga have a much shorter history of human presence, which may have helped the iguanas living there to escape extinction.
    The researchers say that their study can’t completely rule out the rafting theory, but it does make the land bridge theory “far more reasonable than previously thought.”
    小题1: What did some scientists previously believe about the iguanas?
    A．They were once discovered in America.
    B．They traveled by raft to Fiji and Tonga.
    C．They could survive in poor living conditions.
    D．They moved to Fiji and Tonga from Australia.
    小题2:According to Noonan and Sites, 60 million years ago ____.   
    A．the land of the world was a supercontinent
    B．Fiji and Tonga were connected to Asia or Australia
    C．Africa, Australia and America were a continent
    D．iguanas walked to Fiji and Tonga from Africa
    小题3:The underline word “lineage” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ____.
    A．conditions in which creatures can survive
    B．the change in ancient plants and animals.
    C．the line of generations of an ancestor
    D．the habitat of a type of an ancient animal
    小题4: What is the main topic of this passage?   
    A．The life span of animals living on the ancient supercontinent.
    B．The two islands being home to several iguana species in the Pacific region.
    C．The fossil evidence suggesting iguanas’ ancestors’ swimming to Fiji and Tonga
    D．By raft or by land — how did iguanas reach the tiny Pacific islands?

    Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness，happiness，goodness，and  self­respect？The collection  of happiness actions broadly categorized  (把……归类)  as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
    Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
    Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item.If we keep silent，and profit from the clerk’s mistake，we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement.Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune.On the other hand，if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item，the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty.We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
    Then，what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
    In the first case，where we don’t tell the clerk，a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.In the process，we would lose some peace of  mind  and  self­respect.We  would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted，since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends.We damage our own reputations by telling others.In contrast，bringing_the_error_to_the__clerk’s__attention  causes  different  things  to happen.Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable.Upon leaving the store，we feel honorable and our self­respect is increased.Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
    There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable  thoughts lead  to honorable actions.Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence.And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy.While the positive cycle can be difficult to start，once it’s started，it’s easy to continue.Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind，which is important for our happiness.
    小题1:According to the passage，the positive action in the example contributes to our________.
    A．self­respectB．financial rewards
    C．advertising ability　D．friendly relationship
    小题2:The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to________.
    A．lyingB．stealing
    C．cheating 　D．advertising
    小题3:The underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention”  means________.
    A．telling the truth to the clerk
    B．offering advice to the clerk
    C．asking the clerk to be more attentive
    D．reminding the clerk of the charged items
    小题4:How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?
    A．We’ll be very excited.
    B．We’ll feel unfortunate.
    C．We’ll have a sense of honor.
    D．We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.
    小题5:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
    A．How to Live Truthfully
    B．Importance of Peacefulness
    C．Ways of Gaining Self­respect
    D．Happiness through Honorable Actions

    The twin towns of LAUFEN/OBERNDORF


    Laufen owes its former economical and cultural significance to the river Salzach,which forms a peninsula with its sharp curves（弯） there.
    Laufen’s economic boom began with the salt trade and the shipping on the river.The salt—mainly coming from Hallein and Bad Reichenhall—was loaded onto bigger ships downstream,which made Laufen one of the most important ports of shipment for salt in Salzburg and Bavaria.
    The archbishop（大教主） of Salzburg had given special privileges to the people who were involved in the shipping of salt on the river Salzach.
    The Napoleonic Wars brought occupation and serious disturbances.They brought the sudden end to the independent state of the Duke—Archbishop of Salzburg.The end of the 18th century brought a decrease in shipping because of the general economic situation.On the 1st May 1816 Salzburg definitively became a part of Austria （Munich agreement） that’s why the Salzach became the border between Bavaria and Austria.Laufen’s suburbs Oberndorf and Altach were divided up.The number of inhabitants fell from 1392 to 809.Even the re－unification of the two towns’shipsmen’s guilds（行会） and the reorganization of 1928 could not prevent the decline of shipping which finally came to an end in the late 19th century.
    小题1:________played an important role in Laufen’s economy and culture life.
    A．SaltB．ShipmentC．GuildsD．Theriver Salzach
    小题2:The underlined word“boom”probably means________.
    A．pleasant soundsB．sudden increaseC．sudden decreaseD．trade
    小题3:The main idea of this passage is mainly about ________.
    A．how the economy declined in Laufen
    B．the effects of The Napoleonic Wars
    C．how the twin towns of LAUFEN and OBERNDORF came into being
    D．the history of Salzburg

    What could be cuter than your puppy giving his doggy friend a kiss on the nose? Nothing，really．But is your dog actually planting a kiss on his friend? Yes，but that’s only one of the reasons your dog may lick another dog’s nose．Here are some other reasons why your dog may lick another dog’s nose．  
    During an introduction，a shy and lower-ranking dog will lower his head，avoid direct eye contact and gently extend his tongue to lick the nose of a more confident and high-ranking dog．The first dog licks the nose of the second dog to simply make it know that：he comes in peace．   
    Dogs who are already friends will also trade kisses．Two strongly bonded dog pals will lick and clean each other．They give each other “dog kisses” showing friendship．
    Puppies also “kiss” their mothers，but it's not a gesture of love．When puppies stop suckling(吸吮)their mothers’ tits for milk and start to eat semisolid(半固体)food instead；they lick their mothers’ mouths and noses in the hope of getting the mother to regurgitate(反哺) some semi-digested food．
    So how to help your bashful dog make friends with other dogs? You can carefully select confident-but-friendly and good-tempered dogs to play with your shy dog，to help him develop his social skills．Also consider taking him to a special training class that focuses on socialization and positive training technique．
    Do not disturb them when your two dogs play “kiss” briefly with each other．Sit back and enjoy this display of friendship．Then call them over and have them do a command such as “sit’’ or “shake paws”．Offer them treats as a reward for being good to each other．
    If you foster(收养)a dog and have three or more resident dogs，introduce the foster dog to your brood dog one at a time and let muzzle licking between them happen naturally．Start with your least reactive or most friendly dog．Never force an in production between the dogs because this can deepen the foster dog’s submissiveness or spark a fight．
    小题1:We know a shy and lower—ranking dog licks the nose of a higher-ranking dog to        ．
    A．ask the dog for helpB．show he is friendly
    C．show his anger D．show his respect for him
