Unit 2Cloning课时跟踪一练而就.阅读理解A(2022届湖南省长郡中学高三开学考试)Many people trying to sell homes find that an increase in home prices has turned the market in their favor. But sellers can still get the short end of the deal if they arent careful. Here are a few tips for you：Dont test your luck. Of course you think anyone who moves into your lovely home should be willing to pay top dollars, especially if youve recently invested in some improvements. But listing a home at a price thats too high above the market price could turn away some buyers. Buyers noticing that the home still hasnt sold may begin to assume theres something wrong with the house and use that as a reasonable excuse for offering a lower price. And if a home hasnt received any offers after two weeks, it might be time to reset the price.A price thats too low can bring about an undesired outcome. Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple offers. But setting the price too low comes with several risks. One possibility is that buyers will get skeptical of the home that is listed for $15，000 to $20，000 less than similar homes in the area, especially if its not properly marketed. Once again, people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it.Spy on the competition. Going to other peoples open houses can give you a better sense of how your home compares to others on the market. Check out the decoration in their kitchens, the size of their backyards and use the information to figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price. But dont set your pricing just on what you see elsewhere.【语篇解读】本文讲述了把房子卖出好价钱的考前须知。1What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 probably mean?ABe at a disadvantage.BGet the upper hand.CHave control over the situation.DBe unable to fit in.解析：选A句意猜想题。根据画线局部所在句的语境及下文的“if they arent careful可以推断出，画线局部的意思是“处于劣势。由此可知，A项正确。2What should home sellers do according to the passage?APrice your house on the basis of its geographic location.BPrice your house slightly above the market price after decorating it.CChange the price if no offer has been received within a week.DPrice your house at or slightly below the market price.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple offers.可知，D项正确。3If you set the price of your house too low, _Abuyers might think it not worthwhile to go to have a lookByou are likely to come into conflict with the neighborhood sellersCyour house will be crowded with buyers within a couple of daysDchances of your house being sold at a better price will be greatly increased解析：选A细节理解题。根据第四段中后三句尤其是最后一句中的“.people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it可知，A项正确。4What is the benefit of going to other peoples open house?AYou can pick up some useful lessons on house selling.BYou can get your pricing mainly based on what you see elsewhere.CYou can work out how much money you should ask for your home.DYou can know how to make your house stand out against other houses.解析：选C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“.to figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price.可知，C项正确。B(2022届河北省石家庄二中高三模拟)Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands.
