第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The cost of living in countries like the U.S., Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years. However, if you're willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move.
Ecuador
Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the U.S. Dollar for their currency. In this country, it's cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the U.S. You can even buy a property for around $300 and hire someone to tend to it while you're away
Mexico
Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $700 to $800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.
Argentina
Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it's not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $139000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States.
Vietnam
Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years. There are many million dollar luxury homes by the beach, but you can find a modest fiat or small home for around $230 to $300 if you search in the right areas.
1、How much does it take at least to live in Mexico for a year?
A．About $7000 B．About $8000
C．About $8400 D．About $9800
2、What does Argentina and Vietnam have in common?
A．They both have great restaurants.
B．The cost of living in them is both expensive.
C．The middle-sized homes both cost around $ 139000.
D．People are all fond of travelling to the two countries.
3、In which country did the purchaser probably pay extra money after he left?
A．Ecuador B．Mexico
C．Argentina D．Vietnam

B
It was close to midnight and it was unusual to see vehicles on the road. However, several trucks pulled over and workers silently unloaded camera equipment and cardboard boxes, and then carried them inside the Morgenson family home.
What took place over the next eight weeks was inspired by a Hollywood movie called The Joneses about a family of marketers who move into a local neighborhood to sell their products secretly to their neighbors. The idea was to test the power of word-of-mouth marketing. By filming a ‘rear’ family in unscripted (无剧本的) situations, my team and I would document how the Morgensons’ circle of friends responded to brands and products the Morgensons bought into their lives.
With the help of 35 video cameras and 25 microphones hidden in side the furniture, the operation done secretly showed something shocking. The most powerful hidden persuader of all isn’t in your TV or on the shelves of your supermarket. It’s a far more important influence that’s around you almost every waking moment: your very own friends and neighbors. There is nothing quite so persuasive as observing someone we respect or admire using a brand or product.
Our analysis also found that the brands the Morgensons used went faster. About one third of the Morgensons’ friends began promoting these same brands to their friends. We also found that the brands their friends were most likely to buy at the Morgensons’ suggestion were the bigger and better-known ones. This proved my thoughts that traditional marketing and secret marketing work well together. The most persuasive advertising strategies are strengthened by word-of-mouth advertising.
Whenever I meet with company managers, I tell them that the people who hold the real marketing power are mouse-clicking consumers and their wide circles of real-life friends. In other words, the people who hold the real power are us.
1、The author and his team went to the Morgenson family home to .
A．visit the Morgensons B．sell products to them
C．shoot a Hollywood movie D．carry out marketing research
2、According to the text, people are more likely to buy a product when .
A．noticing an advertisement for it on TV
B．the product appears repeatedly in a movie
C．seeing their friends using the same product.
D．someone is promoting it in the supermarket.
3、In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text?
A．Travel. B．Business.
C．Lifestyle. D．Entertainment.

Reading is good for babies in developing their intelligence and interest. Mom would read to me if I was a baby, that developed my love for reading. As I grew elder and could read by myself, my father often takes me to book-stores and left me there reading.
On my birthdays, the gifts sending by my parents are always books. It is them who let me know benefits of reading.
Personally, I feel strong that reading does us lots of goods. It can broaden our horizons and make us more intelligent. Additionally, it is helpful in our learning, especially in writing about good compositions.
So let's start reading now.
