Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
体裁：记叙文　话题：寓言故事　时间：6分钟
Once upon a time，in a small city，there was an empty storybook.The book looked great，with an impressive cover，but all its pages were blank.Children and grown－ups would pick up the book，but finding no stories inside，they would cast the book aside.
Not far from there，a lovely inkwell(墨水池) had been full of ink for years.His owner had forgotten about it.The inkwell and the storybook cursed their bad luck.
One day when the book was thrown away，it ended up next to the inkwell.For days and days the two of them swapped stories about their bad luck.They could have carried on for years，if an elegant swan feather had not floated down and landed next to them.At first，the feather felt lonely and abandoned.He cried and cried，and the book and the inkwell joined in，letting out all their sadness at the years of neglect.
However，unlike his companions，the feather soon tired of crying，and he resolved to improve the situation.Drying his tears，and leaving his complaints behind，he clearly saw how the three of them，working together，could achieve a lot more than just suffering.He convinced his friends to write a story.The storybook opened up his best pages，the inkwell didn't spill even a drop，and the feather contributed great ingenuity and beautiful writing.Together they managed to write a lovely story about three friends who helped each other to improve their lives.
Then a young teacher passed by，head down and looking sad，wondering how he could keep his pupils' attention.He found the storybook，the inkwell and the feather.The teacher read the book，and found the story charming.He picked up the three artists，and continued on his way to school.When lessons began he told the story to his pupils，and they were all attentive.
Every night from then on，feather，inkwell，and storybook got together and wrote a new story for the young teacher.They felt so happy and proud at having managed to improve their fate.
【语篇导读】　空白书、墨水池和天鹅毛它们三个开头的时候都被遗弃了，它们埋怨，哭泣。但是有一每天鹅毛发觉，他们可以合作将它们的故事写在书上，从而转变他们的命运。

B．Because it looked great.
C．Because it had an impressive cover.

解析　细节理解题。依据第一段其次句话和第三句话The book looked great，with an impressive cover，but all its pages were blank.Children and grown－ups would pick up the book，but finding no stories inside，they would cast the book aside.可知人们发觉书页上没有内容而将书抛弃。
答案　D
2．In the paragraph 2 the underlined word “cursed” probably means ______．
A．swore B．demanded
C．suggested D．celebrated
解析　词义猜想题。依据文章当中消灭的their bad luck以及He cried and cried，and the book and the inkwell joined in，letting out all their sadness at the years of neglect.可以推出curse的意思是“诅咒，埋怨”，故选A。

Store Scent(香味)
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop？The products displayed (呈现) at the entrance？Or the soft background music?
But have you ever noticed the smell？Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no.But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there.And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance，via scent machines.A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores，customers' intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris，scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale.That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
Some years ago，the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants' disproving attitude and don't－touch－what－you－can't－afford displays.Now the rise of electronic commerce (e－commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience.But while e－shops can use sights and sounds，only bricks－and－mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave.Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now，a famous store uses complex man－made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department，and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section.A department store has even opened a new lab，inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books，pots and drawers，in search of their perfect scent.
【语篇导读】　本文是一篇说明文。给读者介绍了味道在实体店销售过程中体现出越来越重要的作用，并且通过运动品商店和巴黎购物街的例子，来证明运用味道带来的转变和不同，然后对比网络商店，来说明实体店可以给购物者带来全方位的体验的优势，最终介绍了现在的一个有名的商店是如何运用味觉元素的。
5．According to the passage，what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand stores?
A．Friendly assistants.
B．Unique scents.
C．Soft background music.
D．Attractive window displays.
解析　细节理解题。依据其次自然段最终一句话And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.，向大家介绍了“味道”这个能够刺激购买的越来越强有力的重要工具 ，文中句子即可找到答案。
答案　B
6．E－shops are mentioned in the passage to ________．
A．show the advantages of bricks－and－mortar stores
B．urge shop assistants to change their attitude
C．push stores to use sights and sounds
D．introduce the rise of e－commerce
解析　推理推断题。依据文章第五段提及的．..e－shops can use sights and sounds.可知网店只能供应视觉和听觉的体验。only bricks－and－mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave.而只有实体店从顾客踏入店门到离开的那一刻能为顾客供应全方位的体验，此句说明白实体店的优势。所以文章提到e－shop 的作用是显现实体店的优势。
答案　A

7．The underlined word“destination”in Paragraph 5 means ________．
A．a platform that exhibits goods
B．a spot where travelers like to stay
C．a place where customers love to go
D．a target that a store expects to meet
解析　词义猜想题。答案能够从划线词汇的前后找到，Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a destination，and scent is just one way to achieve this.这个商店所要的是一个不仅仅是商店的地方，而是一个目的地，而气味恰恰就是(让顾客)到达这个地方的一个方法。A 选项说的是陈设货品的地方，这是商店的功能的一部分，所以不正确；B项是一个旅游者乐意去的景点，这和商店的功能不符合；D项是一个商店所期望达到的预期，但是没有点名预期是什么，最终的预期其实正是C项中一个大家都爱去的地方。
答案　C
8．The main purpose of the passage is to ________．
A．compare and evaluate B．examine and assess
C．argue and discuss D．inform and explain
解析　推理推断题。文章开头部分向大家介绍了味道在实体店销售的过程中吸引顾客，从而使商店不断更加引人注目的重要性，接下来就通过举例运动品商店和巴黎最出名的购物街说明白味道的作用，一个是接下来就引入了“e－shop”来体现实体店中味道给购物者能带来全面的体验，最终以一个现在正在使用味道的出名的购物中心是如何应用味道来吸引消费者和促进销售的。可以看出整个的过程就是先告知结果，然后再解释论证的过程。A 对比，评估：文章提到了“e－shop”只是对比，来体现实体店的优势，但是没有评估过程。B 检测与评定：文章直接给了味道的作用日益明显，没有检测的过程；C 争辩和探讨：文章没有争辩，也没有探讨。
答案　D
