launch in britain. from tomorrow, visitors to sampletrends central london store can try anything on its shelves, and all of the products can be taken home without charge.for an annual membership fee of 60，users are free to enter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than 250 worth of goods every year. the only catch is that shoppers are asked to complete a simple questionnaire about each product they try. known as try-vertising，the concept allows manufacturers to test products and receive consumer feedback(反馈）before launching onto the open market. it is already a sensation in japan and now looks set to transform the fortunes of the embattled uk retail industry. if everything goes well, countries such as germany and france will give it a try. according to new figures, stores are facing a christmas crisis with the weakest high street trading for six months. michael ghosh, the founder behind sampletrend, said, “the concept behind sampletrend is unique in the uk. it allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a number of real, full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny.” the concept of in-store try-vertising is simple but effective. businesses across all sectors from cosmetic manufacturers to beverage makers, place new products on the shelves at sampletrend and wait for consumers to try them out.customers complete a short 10-point questionnaire about the product. the feedback they provide is used to make any finishing touches before the product is brought officially to market. the sampletrend store stocks everything from cosmetics, food and drink, and household goods. ghosh, the former advertising and sales director for disney europe, said such feedback may also build brand loyalty from the outset a particularly appealing prospect for new businesses.24the most attractive part of the idea for customers is that_.a. they only pay 60 for a life-long membership舒中高二期末英语 第3页 (共10页)b. they can help to make the products betterc. it wont take much time to finish the questionnaired. they can take things home without paying for them25the idea of try-vertising originates from_.a. germanyb. britainc. japand. france26the purpose of try-vertising is to_.a. get feedback for their new productsb. sell more products at christmas timec. encourage people to buy more productsd. give customers free products as gifts27.what does michael ghosh think of this business idea?a. puzzling.b. unpractical.c. promising.d. surprising.cthe strong emphasis on educational achievement in china, japan and other parts of south-east asia may be coming at a heavy price. researchers say that hard work at school plus the lack of exposure to outdoor light is damaging the eyes of almost nine out of ten studentswith one in five at serious risk of visual impairment and blindness.the scientists say that young people need up to three hours a day of outdoor light, but many infants are also missing out as they nap during lunch time. dr. ian morgan is the lead author of the study. “i think whats happened in south-east asia is that weve got a double whammy. weve got the massive educational pressures and weve got the construction of a childs day in a way that really minimises the amount of time they spend outside in bright light.”the scientists say that genetic factors, long thought to play a big role in short-sightedness, are not as important as the environment. they point to singapore as a place with several different racial groups, all of whom are now suffering high levels of short-sightedness.the authors suggest that compulsory time outdoors should be considered by educational authorities across south-east asia as a way of dealing with the problem.28. what does the passage mainly talk about ?a. educational achievement in asia.b. sight problems in south-east asia.c. risk of visual impairment and blindness.d. massive educational pressures29. what does the underlined part “a double whammy” refer to?a. many infants naps and massive educational pressures.b. hard work at school and the construction of a childs day.c. educational pressures and the lack of exposure to outdoor light.d. genetic factors and the minimised time spent outside in bright light.30. by mentioning singapore, the author intends to tell us that _.a. genetic factors play a big role in short-sightednessb. it has several different racial groupsc. all singaporeans are shortsighted nowd. the environment has greater effect on peoples eyes31. the authors strongly believe that _.a. we should spend enough time outdoorsb. infants should not nap during lunch timec. students should not work hard at schoold. educational authorities are to blame for short-sightednessdon the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher mr. washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. i told him that i couldnt do it. he asked, “why not?” i paused, and then i said, “because im educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”he came from behind his desk and looked at me. “dont ever say that again. someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.it was a very special moment for me. doctors said that i was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and i was put back into the fourth grade. when i was in the eighth grade, i failed again.but mr. washington changed my life. this person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. he often said, “you have greatness within you.”one day, i caught up with him in the parking place and said, “mr washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”he said, “yes, mr brown.”“but what about the fact that i failed english, math, and history? what about that, sir? im slower than most kids.”“it doesnt matter. it just means that you have to work harder. your grades dont determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”“i want to buy my mother a house.”“it is possible, mr. brown. you can do that.” and he turned to walk away.“mr. washington?”“what do you want now?”“uh, im the one, sir. one day youre going to hear my name. im the one, sir.”school was a real struggle for me. mr. washington put many demands on me. he made me believe that i could do it. at the end of that year, i was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.years later, i produced five programs on public television. when one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, i had some friends call him. i was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. he said, “may i speak to mr. brown, please?”“oh, mr. washington, is that you?”“yes, its me. you were the one, werent you?”“yes, sir, i was.”32. what does mr washington mean by saying “someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality”?a. you neednt have the舒中高二期末英语 第5页 (共10页) same opinion as others.b. you should believe what other people say.c. what other people say about you may not be correct.d. the doctor made a mistake.33. what happened to the author at last?a. he entered a good university.b. he earned much honor.c. he got a good job.d. he made television programs.34. in the passage, the author implies that _.a. people shouldnt believe what doctors sayb. no one can be successful with hard work and confidencec. no one is really educable mentally retardedd. a good teacher can change a students life35. the best title for the passage would be “_”.a. dont believe others b. i am the onec. my best teacher d. i succeeded at last第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。a strong memory depends on the health and vitality（活力）of your brain. they say that you cant teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isnt true.36give your brain a workout. memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. the more you work out your brain, the better youll be able to process and remember information.37dont skip the physical exercise. while mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesnt mean you never need to break a sweat. physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. it increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.get enough sleep. there is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best.38keep stress in check. stress is one of the brains worst enemies. over time, stress destroys brain cells. studies have also linked stress to memory loss.have a laugh.39that holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.40just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. you probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. for brain health, though, its not just what you eatits also what you dont eat.a.eat a brain-boosting diet.b.play games with memory.c.laughter is the best medicine.d.but oversleeping is not good for your brain.e.even skipping a few hours makes a difference!f.you have to shake things up from time to time!g.the human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节
