18、Specialists in marketing have studied how to make people buy more food in a supermarket. They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk
19、 by all the more interesting-and more expensive-things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you see it and want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or low
20、er shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. One study showed that when a supermarket moved four products from floor to eye level, it sold 78 percent more.Another study showed that for every minute a person is in a supermarket after the first half hour, she or h

26、e been observed. Three periods of development have been identified (确定) , including early infancy (幼儿期) , which extends from the first to the sixth month; middle infancy, from the sixth to the ninth month; and late infancy, from the ninth to the fifteenth month. Whereas the newborn is concerned with
27、 his or her inner world and reacts primarily to hunger and pain in early infancy, the baby is already aware of the surrounding world. During the second month, many infants are awake more and can raise their heads to look at things. They also begin to smile at people. By four months, the baby is sear
28、ching for things but not yet grasping them with its hands. It is also beginning to be wary(谨慎的) of strangers and may scream when a visiting relative tries to pick it up. By five months, the baby is grabbing objects and putting them into its mouth. Some babies are trying to feed themselves with their
29、 hands.In middle infancy, the baby concentrates on practicing a great many speech sounds. It loves to imitate actions and examine interesting objects. At about seven months, it begins to crawl, a skill that it masters at the end of middle infancy.In late infancy, the baby takes an interest in games,
30、 songs, and even books. Progress toward walking moves through standing, balancing, bouncing in place, and walking with others. As soon as the baby walks well alone, it has passed from infancy into the active toddler (蹒跚学步) stage.51 What is the main subject of this reading passage?（A）Growth in early

33、Hemingway was born in Illinois, his family took him as a boy on frequent hunting and fishing trips and so acquainted him early with the kinds of virtues (美德) such as courage and endurance, which were later reflected in his fiction (文学作品) . After high school, he worked as a newspaper reporter and the
34、n went oversea to take part in World War I. After the war he lived for several years in Paris, where he became part of a group of Americans who felt strange from their country. They considered themselves a lost generation. It was not long before he began to publish the powerful novel “The Sun Also R
35、ises“. His subjects were often war and its effects on people, or contests, such as hunting or bullfighting, which demand stamina and courage.Hemingways style of writing is striking. His sentences are short, his words simple, yet they are often filled with emotion. A careful reading can show us, furt
36、hermore, that he is a master of the pause. That is, if we look closely, we see how the action of his stories continues during the silences, during the times his characters say nothing. This action is often full of meaning. There are times when the most powerful effect comes from restraint (适度). Such
37、 times occur often in Hemingways fiction. He perfected the art of expressing emotion with few words.56 The word “stamina“ in the last line of paragraph 1 can most probably be replaced by_.（A）money（B） time（C） energy（D）weapon57 Hemingway might have two kinds of special qualitiescourage and endurancebe

41、 of writing he is good at60 Trees have a spectacular (壮丽的；奇观的) survival record. Over a period of more than 400 million years, they have evolved as the tallest, most massive, and longest-lived organisms ever to inhabit the Earth. Yet trees lack a means of defense that almost every animal has: trees c
42、annot move away from destructive forces. Because they cannot move, all types of living and nonliving enemiesfire, storms, microorganisms, insects, other animals and, later, humanshave wounded them throughout their history. Trees have survived because their evolution has made them into highly compart
43、mented (分隔的) organisms: that is, they wall off injured and infected wood.In that respect trees are radically different from animals. Fundamentally, animals heal, they preserve their life by making billions of repair, installing (安置) new cells or rejuvenated (恢复活力的) cells in the positions of old ones
44、. Trees cannot heal; they make no repairs. Instead, they defend themselves from the consequences of injury and infection by walling off the damage. At the same time they put new cells in new positions; in effect, they grow a new tree over the old one every year. The most obvious results of the proce
45、ss are growth rings, which are visible on the cross section of a trunk, a root, or a branch.61 The authors main purpose in this article is to explain the_.（A）life cycle of a tree（B） way trees survive（C） importance of trees to human progress（D）dangers trees face from natural disasters62 The author de

47、p.64 As it is used in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 , the pronoun “they“ refers to_.（A）enemies（B） animals（C） humans（D）trees65 According to the context of the passage, you can guess the meaning of the verb “evolve“ is_.（A）(of people or animals) reach the stage of full development（B） breed (farm an
48、imals) ; grow or produce (crops)（C） (of plants, animals, etc. ) gradually develop from a simple form to a more complex one（D）(cause somebody /something) to grow gradually四、Section ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.66 We need not wish for what we dont have, but enjoy what we d
