gone way down.”janet luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a babysitter for two weeks. “it was not the way i wanted to raise my kids,” she says. “simplicity is not just about saving money; its about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”ms. luhrsnow edits a magazine called simple living, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes, and organize potluck (家常便饭) dinners instead of fancy receptions.“simplicity is about conscious living and creating the life you want. the less stuff you buy,

brand-new pair of ugg boots. all her friends had them.on christmas morning, marie really got a pair of boots. they fit perfectly. the quality was superb. there was only one thing missing: the tiny label (标签) on the heel that says ugg.marie thanked her grandma. but shes only worn those boots twice both times to visit her grandma. “i would never wear them in public,” she says.maries grandma would be heartbroken to know the truth. but at ugg headquarters (总部), a room full of sales managers would be cheering.through clever marketing and expensive advertising, the makers of uggs have convinced (使信服) marie and millions of others that the name ugg has value far beyond what the homely slipper boots should really cost. uggs, like north face jackets, nike sneakers, and other brand-name items are “status symbols”. people pay double, triple, even 10 times more for brand names than for similar items. is a pair of $400 true religion jeans really better than the $18 wranglers you can get at walmart? maybe the quality is a bit higher. maybe they shrink less. but are brand names really worth the exorbitant prices? some pricey brands do, in fact, use higher-quality materials that fit better and feel nice on your skin.however, the truth is that the value of a brand has little to do with quality and a lot to do with status. a recent study by consumer reports found that some of the least expensive jeans are better made than the more expensive jeans. but that doesnt matter. wearing a certain label tells the world “i belong” or “i can afford it.”a few decades ago, the idea of a kid refusing to wear a pair of boots because the label was wrong would have seemed as crazy as talking on a phone the size of your hand.clearly, times have changed.28.when she received the christmas gift from her grandma, marie seemed .a. excitedb. worriedc. movedd. disappointed29.uggs managers would be cheering probably because of .a. its particular designb. its successful marketingc. its high-quality productsd. its better customer service30.the underlined word “exorbitant” in paragraph 5 probably means .a. highb. goodc. averaged. attractive31.in the authors opinion, people wear brand-name products as a way to .a. follow the fashionb. show themselves offc. keep pace with the timesd. improve their quality of life【答案】28.d29.b30.a31.b【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇社会现象类文章，通过玛丽不愿意穿奶奶送的没有ugg标志的靴子的故事点出文章中心，很多人都觉得穿名牌显得自己有钱的一种现象，愿意花更多的更高的钱去买品牌东西的现象。28.d细节理解题。根据文中第三段，i would never wear them in public，可知玛丽对收到的这双鞋并不是很喜欢，故选d。29.b细节理解题。根据文中第五段，through clever marketing and expensive advertising, the makers of uggs have convinced (使信服) marie and millions of others that the name ugg has value far beyond what the homely slipper boots should really cost，可以看出ugg的制造商的营销手段成功，让很多人都相信这个靴子是极好的，故选b。30.a词义猜测题。根据单词的前面内容可知，这里讲述的是品牌的东西价格高，推测这里的exorbitant就相当于high，符合语境，故选a。31.b推理判断题。根据文中倒数第二段，wearing a certain label tells the world “i belong” or “i can afford it.”，可知穿品牌的东西会让人们觉得我有钱我负担的起，产生一种炫耀的现象，故选b。考点：考查社会现象类短文阅读。dthe united states estimates that about one out of every 10 people on the planet today is at least 60 years old. by 2050, its projected to be one out of 5. this means that not only will there be more old people, but there will be relatively fewer young people to support them.professor richard lee of the university of california at berkeley says this aging of the world has a great effect on economics. “population aging increases the concentration of population in the older ages and therefore it is costly,” he said.aging populations consume (消耗) more and produce less. with more people living longer, it could get expensive. but mr. lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and smart planning, it can be manageable.societies have different methods for caring for the elderly, but each carries a cost. generally, there are three types of support. seniors can live off the wealth they gained when they were younger. they can rely on their family to take care of them, or they can rely on the government.in industrialized nations, governments created publicly-funded (公共资助的) support systems. these worked relatively well until recent years, when aging population growth in places like the united states and western europe began to gradually weaken the systems finances. these nations now face some tough choices. mr. lee says the elderly in some of these countries must either receive less money, retire later or increase taxes to make the system continuable.most developing nations havent built this type of government-funded support, but have instead relied on families to care for their elderly. these nations also generally have a much younger population, which means their situation is not as urgent as more developed nations. but mr. lee says that doesnt mean they can ignore the issue. “third world countries should give very careful thought to this process, to population aging and how it may affect their economies now, before population aging even becomes an issue,” he explained.32.“aging” in this text means .a. there are more young people than old peopleb. an increasing number of old people are dyingc. more and more young people are growing oldd. the percentage of old people in the world is increasing33.what is professor richard lees attitude towards population aging?a. indifferent.b. optimistic.c. negative.d. worried.34.the publicly-funded support systems in industrialized nations.a. are facing the risk of failingb. have failed to provide support for the oldc. will be replaced by other support systemsd. have greatly affected the nations economies35.we can infer from the text that developing nations.a. should prepare for population agingb. dont see population aging as an issuec. are facing urgent situations of population agingd. have better ways to deal with population aging【答案】32.d33.b34.a35.a【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇新闻，报道了人口老龄化的问题。讲述现在很多国家都出现严重的人口老龄化，richard lee教授，表示人口老龄化是可以控制的，同时，对于发展中国家而言，在人口老龄化问题到来前要做一定的准备，比如：进行老年人口统计等等措施。32.d细节理解题。aging本意为“老化”，根据文中第一段this means that not only will there be more old people，可知这里指的是老年人的数目在不断增加，故选d。33.b推理判断题。根据文中第三段，but mr. lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and smart planning, it can be manageable，可知在他看来虽然人口老龄化会消耗更多资源，生产力降低，但是只要提高工作效率和智能规划，这些问题是能解决的，推测他的态度是乐观的，故选b。34.a细节理解题。根据文章第五段，these nations now face some tough choices，可以知道他们正面临艰难的选择，面临失败的危险，故选a。35.a细节理解题。根据文章最后一段内容，可知发展中国家不能忽视这个问题，而要为这个问题到来而做准备，如统计老龄人口，拟定计划等等，故选a。考点：考查新闻类短文阅读。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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。注意：涂卡时，e涂ab，f涂ac，g涂ad。canercancer
