四川省蓬溪縣2024高考英語閱讀理解及書面表達練習（6）

　　閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　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 18 and 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 (騙人的), but marketing executive 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? Advertising executives 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.

　　1. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could______.　

　　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

　　2. Lorenzo Bertolla is______.　

　　A. a very popular male singer

　　B. an advertising agency

　　C. a clothing company in Rome

　　D. the brand name of a sweater

　　3. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?　

　　A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.

　　B. The MTV generation tends 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 banned soon by the government.

　　4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

　　A. Two Attractive Shoppers

　　B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters

　　C. Ways of Advertising

　　D. Undercover Marketing

　　閱讀下列短文，按要求完成讀寫任務

　　(2010年山東卷)Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However，being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of over-consumption in the greenest way possible，but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.

　　The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.

　　Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK，for example，is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt，it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps，but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem，too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However，a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue，encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags，for example.

　　But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products，which often have far more packaging than necessary.

　　There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle，we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture，but we have a mountain to climb.

　　Dear Tom,

　　I’m glad to hear that you are considering making up with Peter. If I were you, I would consider a bike as a birthday present for him.

　　As far as I know, Peter is always in poor health so he can take more exercise by riding a bike to build up his body. In the meanwhile, you can often go outing by bike together, which is helpful to rebuild your friendship. Besides, taking a bike is an environmentally-friendly means of transport. It’s convenient for him to get around as well.

　　Apart from giving him a gift, you can also adopt other means, such as travelling, seeing a movie, having dinner and going shopping. No matter what you do, being sincere is the most important. I really hope that we can be good friends forever.

　　Best wishes,
