A. sight B. scene C. view D. look 【解析】选B。考查名词词义辨析。sight视力，风景; scene风景，风光，布景，指局部的风景、景色展现在人眼前的景象；view视野，视域，常指在远处或高处以人的角度看到的景色；look看。 24.

Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts(施加) some influence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified(分类) all our little weaknesses. Advertisers discovered years ago that all of us love to get something for nothing. An advertisement which begins with the magic word FREE can rarely(很少) go wrong. These days, advertisers not only offer free samples, but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world as well. They design hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money. Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers to draw the attention of millions of people in this way. During a radio programme, a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits and send them to their factory. They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener. The response to this competition was active. Before long, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory. One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. It weighed nearly 500 pounds. All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed. The largest was 713 pounds. It seemed certain that this would win the prize. But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly large biscuit which weighed 2, 400 pounds. It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1, 000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredients. The manufacturers had to pay more money than they had expected, for they bought the biscuit from the student for$24, 000. 56. Why have advertisers made a close study of human weaknesses? A. They thought it was very interesting to do so. B. They wanted to persuade the customers to buy their products. C. They thought it was their duty. D. They wanted to research how much people spend buying their products. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。从第一段第二、三句可知。 57. Why do advertisers offer free samples and other things to people? A. They use them to attract peoples attention. B. Their advertisements have little effect on customers. C. Different means are being used to cheat people. D. They produce too many products that cant be sold out. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。从第二段可知。本段第一句点明了大多数人的心理。第二句提到广告为了迎合人们的这种心理而运用了“Free”这个单词，故目的是为了吸引人们的注意。 58. From the last paragraph, we know that the factory failed to expect_. A. how many people would take an interest in the competition B. how many ingredients are needed to bake a large biscuit C. it was possible to bake a biscuit as large as the students D. the payment wouldnt be as high as $24, 000 【解析】选C。推理判断题。从最后一段最后一句可知。 (B) Its simply amazing what a cellphone can do these days. Teenagers know this better than anyone. Theyll tell you their super-thin phones are really pocket-sized entertainment systems. They can listen to music, watch music videos, and play computer games. They can take photographs and send text messages to their friends. Business people know this, too. For them, cellphones are really high-tech business tools. They can review business documents and read e-mails. They can check their appointment calendar and get directions to a clients office. Welcome to the age of the“smartphone”. In less than five years, cellphones have developed far beyond their original function as a communication tool. And more features are being added all the time. Some consumers love to keep up with the changing technology. Theyre always eager to get the next musthave model. But all this change has left other people confused. Cellphone users often dont know all the features their phones include. Recent consumer surveys suggest that many people still only use their phones for talking and text messaging. TODAYS FEATURES So what features do cellphones have these days? That depends on the model, of course. But standard features include a digital camera, MP3 player and PDA. Newer models also have video-recording capability. Some even have GPS. So if you need to know how to get somewhere, just check your phone for directions. Perhaps most importantly, some phones offer wireless Internet access. That means you can use your phone to read and send e-mail and browse the Web. You can download music, games and video files. You can even watch short “made-for-phone” dramas. TOMORROWS FEATURES Even more powerful features are on the horizon. Someday soon your phone could also pay for your meals. A new technology would store your credit and bank account information on your cellphone. You could then use your phone much like a credit card. Use it to pay for a meal or purchase new clothes. Or better yet, buy that new cell phone youve been wanting. 59. Many people still use cellphones for_. A. talking and text messaging B. entertainment and communication C. business and appointment D. keeping up with the times 【解析】选A。细节理解题。由第三段最后一句话可知A项正确，而entertainment, business and appointment都是“New features”, 所以不选B、C两项。D项文中未涉及且与题意不符，故不选。 60. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Cellphones have become entertainment systems and high-tech business tools. B. Todays cellphone features include a digital camera, MP3 player and Internet access. C. In the near future, you may be able to purchase items using your phone. D. At present, some cellphones have offered you dramas of kinds. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。由第五段知并不是在当前就能这样做，而是一种猜测或许不久的将来就可以了。故只有D符合题意。 61. The underlined phrase “on the horizon” means_. A. to take place B. at the line where the earth and sea meet C. to develop quickly D. at a high level 【解析】选A。词义猜测题。因为本部分写的是手机的未来的功能，所以选A项。 62. The best title for the passage is_. A. CELLPHONES GET SMART B. POPULARITY OF CELLPHONES C. A VARIETY OF CELLPHONES D. NO LIFE WITHOUT CELLPHONES 【解析】选A。主旨归纳题。综观全文可知，本文主要讲述手机已有的和将来可能具有的功能。所以选A项。B项指手机的流行性和受欢迎性。C项指手机的种类而不是功能。D项讲手机在人们生活中的作用和重要性，均不能正确概括全文内容所以排除。 (C) Why will we build to the sky, underground, and on the water? Its a matter of practicality. Cities are places where a large number of people live closely in one environment. They have to be planned in a manageable way. For areas like Japan, preventing cities from earthquakes and practical concerns, such as how to house 120 million people efficiently(有效地)gave rise to these new city plans. What will happen to the cities we live in today? The cities of the future will not replace the cities we know today. Instead, mile-high cities(空中城市) will allow us to efficiently control and manage energy by using more efficient heating and cooling systems. They will enable residents(居民) to travel less, and thus create less pollution. “Old”cities may start to look at these new cities. Perhaps “minicities” will suddenly appear and begin to exist within the “old”
