12.ottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty.Bottled water is all over the world.But some say the planet's health,and people's health may be suffering from it.
The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true.The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said,"There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle,it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap."Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is"really just tap water in a bottle-sometimes more clean,sometimes not."
It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water.Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said,"The high mineral content(含量) of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children."Also,most bottled water doesn't have fluoride(氟化物),which can make teeth stronger.Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water,and some say that's behind the recent rise in bad teeth.
Storing is another problem.Placed near heat,the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals(化学物质) into the water.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency,some 2.7million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year.The plastic can take between 400and 1,000years to break down.
In terms of energy use,plastic bottles are also not cheap.One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles,they would have saved about 72million gallons of gas.
So,if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth,you can take the following steps.
●Drink from your tap.Unless your government warns against this,it should be fine.
●Get a container(容器).Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container,and clean it between uses.
●Keep it cool.Don't drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun,don't store it near chemicals,and don't reuse plastic bottles.
●Choose glass containers over plastic if possible.When finished,recycle!

67.What is the main idea of the article?D
A.Drinking tap water is the only choice for people.
B.Glass containers are better than plastic bottles.
C.Plastic bottles are harmful to the environment.
D.Bottled water may not be as good as we think.
68.What can we learn about plastic bottles from the article?C
A.They break down in less than 300years.
B.They can be used for many other things.
C.They are a risk to the environment.
D.They are cheap to make.
69.According to the article,we can know that bottled water isB.
A.no problem for the environment
B.moreexpensive than tap water
C.always safer than tap water
D.better for babies
70.Which of the following about tap water is NOT mentioned in the article?A
A.There are a lot of problems storing tap water.
B.Bottled water can be just tap water in a bottle.

10.The Friday after the American holiday of Thanksgiving is called Black Friday.It's said that it's the day that store ledgers(分类账)move into the black and companies become profitable.On that day,retailers slash(砍) prices to get consumers to buy.It is also a time when many Americans start their Christmas shopping.VOA's Elizabeth Lee tells us how the economy may affect consumers on that bargain day.
 This day should be a shopper's dream."It's just the deals,the sales and everything you can get for a lesser price,"said Sandy Thomas,a shopper.But it's a nightmare for others."I think it's crazy.I've done all of my shopping throughout the week so I don't have to go out on Friday,"she said.It's called Black Friday,the start of the traditional Christmas shopping season in the United States.Every year it's the day after the Thanksgiving holiday.Stores open before sunrise and there are deep discounts everywhere you look.
Last year a crowd of bargain-hunters killed a Wal-mart worker in a New York suburb.This year,many stores are increasing security while they slash prices."This is a huge time for the retail stores,"said Fred Joutz from George Washington University."This is when they begin making their profits for the year."
Economics professor Fred Joutz says how Americans spend the weekend after Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future.
With the unemployment rate above 10 percent,Joutz says Americans are saving more and spending less.Some retailers are attracting consumers by opening on Thanksgiving Day,when shops are traditionally closed.Other stores open their doors anywhere from midnight to four in the morning.
And shoppers will be lining up in front of the doors in order to be one of the first ones to walk through and get a big discount.Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually the first items to go.Sandy Thomas says it's an annual family tradition and well worth it."I just save maybe half of what I would have spent on a regular,you know,shopping trip,"she said.
Economists say U.S.consumers will spend money this Black Friday,but they will spend it more carefully.
71.By saying"This day should be a shopper's dream",the writer meansD.
A.shoppers have longed for this day for a long time
B.the shops will be very crowded on that day
C.the shops will keep open until the daybreak of next day
D.shoppers can buy many items at low prices on that day
72.Why are many stores increasing security according to the passage?C
A.Because there are too many people saving more and spending less.
B.Because it's a time when they begin making their profits for the year.
C.Because last year a crowd of bargain-hunters caused an accident.
D.Because many stores open their doors from midnight to four a.m.
73.From the passage we know thatA.
A.Christmas shopping is traditional time and this year it is no exception.
B.Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually least discounted.
C.The economy only affects consumers on that bargain day.
D.Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future.
74.We can find this passage inC.
A.a science fiction                       B.a travel brochure
C.an economic research report             D.a book on psychology
75.Why American people call it a black day?B
A.Because they organize activities in honor of some great person.
B.Because there are too many people going out shopping for Christmas.
C.Too many people are celebrating Thanks giving.
D.The sky is black that day.

17.Group buying is one of the fastest growing trends in South Africa today.Industry leaders are confident the growth potential remains strong since group buying is location-specific(区域性的).Start-up costs are low and profit room remains high,so many sites continue to receive invested money despite widespread criticism and Facebook's decision to phase out of the deals business due to privacy concerns.
In the early stages of all industries,some companies fail because they cannot compete with stronger companies in difficult economic conditions.To deal with difficult conditions,an alarming number of businesses are developing group buying websites in places like China and India,so the increase of group buying in South Africa is nothing more than a natural progression into the international mainstream.
The group buying concept is fairly new and consumers have accepted this concept because they can now make full use of the rich information available on the Internet.Group buying is convenient and easy so it works.Anyone can view a site,join a mailing list,subscribe to RSS or print out a coupon(优惠券).The current group buying structure offered by the industry leaders works although there are still challenges to overcome.
Perhaps,the future of group buying is tied to the joining together of social media and mobile devices.Mobile devices are with us wherever we go and almost everyone is using some type of social media site like Facebook or Twitter to stay informed.Using GPS and social media technology to provide real time location-specific promotions would be beneficial to every consumer looking for the best deals in town.
Pause for a moment and think about it!What is better than signing on to your phone while having fun in town and you receive a real time information that your favorite shop across the street is offering a killer deal?
The future of the group buying in South Africa is bright and we can expect to see more advanced approaches to this concept in the future.In addition to the technological advances consumers will see the range of promotions expand to include new products and services.

72.What does the underlined phrase"phase out of"mean in the passage?A
A.Gradually stop.    B.Gradually increase.
C.Begin to develop.  D.Continue to enlarge.

7.The cheapest room and board in Jefferson City,Missouri,over the weekend was at the county jail(监狱),and 170 people gladly checked in.Cole County charged $ 30 a night for anyone who volunteered to go behind bare on Friday or Saturday night.So officials could give the new jail a test run before it opened for real this week.People from three states spent the night at the jail,including some lawyers and a couple celebrating their first anniversary. 
"It was something they could experience without having to get a criminal record,"Cole County Sheriff (治安官)Greg White said."They spent the night and gained all understanding that they would not want to ever do this again."
Jailers tried to give the citizens the full experience.They were told to give up their jewelry,cell phones,and other personal belongings.They were booked and photographed and led into the jail commons. They could keep their cell doors open,but that trapped feeling was still there because me outer room doors were locked,said Bob Watson,60,a reporter for the Jefferson City News-Tribune who spent Friday night at the jail."While it was not a true copy of jail,you got some sense of what it's like to hear that door lock behind you,"Watson said.
Two other feelings were boredom and a lack of choice,illustrated by the television being left on one channel and drowned out anyway by everybody talking.
Bed was a steel bunk with a thin mattress (垫).Overhead,a 40-watt bulb stayed lit through the night in each cell.Handy for guards to see inmates,but not helpful to good sleep.How about the food?Dinner Friday night included cheesy pasta with turkey bits and coffee cake."I wouldn't pay for it in a restaurant,but you won't die trying to eat it,"Watson said.
56.The 170 people stayed in the county jail toA.
A.make a holiday                       B.get punishment                
C.do a research                        D.makemoney

14.You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater.You listen to their conversation:"I can't believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find.Isn't it beautiful?And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right.You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla,but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So,you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing,driving and eating.If the person looks cool,the product seems cool,too.This is the secret of undercover marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18and 34.It is a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend.but they don't trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice deceptive(骗人的),but marketing manager Jonathan Ressler calls it creative."Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing."
However,one might ask what exactly is"real"about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater?Adverting managers would say it's no less real than an ad.The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy Something.You don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

59.The two attractive young women were talking so that they couldB.
A.get the sweater at a lower price      B.be heard by people around
C.be admired by other shoppers          D.decide on buying the sweater
60.Lorenzo Bertolla isD.
A.the name of a popular singer          B.an advertising agency
C.a clothing company in Rome            D.the brand name of a sweater
61.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?C
A.The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.
B.The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.
C.Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.
D.Undercover marketing  will surely be stopped soon by the government.
60.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?D
A.Two Attractive Shoppers     B.Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C.Ways of Advertising         D.Undercover Marketing.

11.The UK government is considering removing"Best Before"dates on food packaging in the country,in order to prevent throwing away of million tons of eatable produce worth£6bn each year.
According to the Waste and Resources Action Program,British families throw away 8.3million tons of food and drink a year,while most of it ends up in garbage sites.It is reported that more than 5million tons of the thrown-away food still remains eatable.
"Best Before"(BB) is not the same as"Use By"(UB).BB is about quality not safety.UB is the key date in terms of safety."Best Before"indicates the date before which a product provides the most satisfying experience for the consumer.It's safe to eat,but it just won't be at their best.By contrast,"UB"dates show when food is no longer safe and should be thrown away.One exception is eggs,which should not be eaten after their"BB"dates because they can contain salmonella bacteria,which could multiply.By law,pre-packed food must show a"BB"date.
The government will set down new policies that will provide better information for shoppers and stop them from throwing away food before it is even opened.Under the new policies,sellers will have to produce labels (标签) that will give accurate information of the health risks associated with foods that remain on shelves,or in the fridge for a certain period before being eaten.Seafood and eggs,for example,would be more likely to carry warnings of potential risks of food poisoning if they were eaten after a certain date.Bread,however,where risks would be smallest,would carry much simpler labels.
In order to reduce food waste,scientists at Strathclyde University are developing a plastic packaging,which will be on the shelves within two years.The advanced packaging can tell when meat,fish or salad leaves have passed their UB dates or have been left out of the fridge for too long.

A.reduce food waste                   B.improve food package
