举一反三

B
As the summer comes, the exhausted consumers start paying attention to the latest cooling devices(仪器)in the market. With the competition rising ,buying an air conditioner (AC) is no longer a big deal; moreover the easy finance schemes make it a device for every life.
Design
Though it carries the standard design for AC, yet it looks elegant(优雅的) when fixed on your wall. As AC is exposed to exterior(外部的)climate, it is bound to get damaged and bring maintenance cost if not taken proper care of. But Haier has solved this problem by providing an anti-corrosion(抗腐蚀的)body to all its AC. It has a remote control which provides you with ultimate flexibility and you can operate it from every corner of your room.
Key Features
It’s proved that this AC steals the show by offering 1tonne cooling capacity at the EER of 9.47. This means it operates at low power and thus helps you save great energy, and consequently it wins popularity with customers. The rotary compressor(旋转式压缩机)is the secret behind its smooth and silent operation, which makes it suitable for public and silent areas.
Core Information
Apart from the above features, it attracts consumers by its unique anti-bacterial filters(过滤器), which act as a favor to your health by destroying the harmful germs and bacteria and make you breathe very clean air.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The anti-bacterial filters prove to be a favor for our respiratory system(呼吸系统). When compared to other famous brands such as Samsung, Onida, and LG, it offers great functions at a very friendly price. However, it lacks some additional filters which are seen in other expensive brands like Electrolux EA12SCRLA1.
Conclusion
It’s a masterpiece(杰作) due to its silent operation and uniform(均速的)cooling. Thus, if you desire cool air, then just switch to this AC and feel the magic.
59. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. most customers are not satisfied with the latest AC
B. the price of AC has been lowered due to the fierce competition
C. Haier AC has special functions but no desirable shapes
D. the real secret behind Haier AC’s silent operation hasn’t been published yet
60. The underlined words “steals the show” can be replaced by________.
A. learns key technologies secretly          B. puts theories into practice scientifically
C. attracts more attention and praise         D. shows some advantages and disadvantages
61. Which of the following plays an important role in guaranteeing our health?
A. The anti-corrosion body.                B. The remote control system.
C. The rotary compressor.                 D. The anti-bacterial filters.
62. Compared with other brands, Haier AC’s biggest advantage lies in ________.
A. the standard design                    B. the low maintenance cost
C. the best after-sales service                  D. the great functions at a low price

C
If you gaze(凝视)through a telescope at a distant galaxy(星系), it may glow brightly with the light of hundreds of millions of stars. Despite(尽管,不顾) all that light, most scientists think that at the center of a big galaxy lies something very dark: a black hole. A black hole is a region of space with gravity so strong that nothing can escape, not even light.
Astronomers recently announced they had observed a faraway galaxy that may have at its center two black holes, very close together. Based on their observations, the stargazers suspect one of the black holes has more mass than the other. The more mass something has, the stronger its gravitational force, so a larger black hole has a stronger gravitational attraction. The smaller black hole orbits(作轨道运行) the larger black hole, just as the earth orbits the sun.
The biggest galaxies in the universe form when two smaller galaxies collide(碰撞). If  two galaxies merge(合并), then all of their stars start orbiting a common center. The black holes at the galaxies’ centers should come together, too. Galaxies are colliding all the time, so we should be able to find lots of black hole pairs. But that’s easier said than done—astronomers rarely find these in deep space.
To find a black hole is complicated. A black hole doesn’t produce any light, so how can you find one in space? Astronomers think when something (like dust) falls into a giant black hole, a jet of radiation, a form of energy, may stream away. If this radiation is strong enough, it forms a quasar(类星体).
The Arizona astronomers looked at more than 17,000 quasars and finally found a galaxy that may have a double black hole at its heart. Though the finding of their research is still unconfirmed, and they may be mistaken, the truth will be revealed in the future.
63. Which of the following is TRUE about black holes?
A. A black hole is a region in galaxies with nothing in it, even a bunch of light.
B. Black holes are used by astronomers to study how quasars come into being.
C. When different galaxies meet in space, the black holes become bigger and bigger
D. Some scientists think there’s one black hole in a galaxy, but others think there’re two.
64. From the second paragraph we can infer that ________.
A. a larger black hole pushes a smaller black hole away
B. a larger black hole pulls a smaller black hole toward it
C. the places of black holes are fixed, so we can see them clearly
D. a smaller black hole moves around a larger one because of radiation
65. According to the passage, astronomers think that there should be many black hole pairs because____________.
A. a black hole can produce light
B. black holes can attract one another
C. different black hole pairs come into being with the meeting of galaxies.
D. a big black hole can usually be divided into two small black holes

Trogmire Troll was dealing with a crisis. The new girl in class really liked him a lot. Trogmire was not happy about it.
Trogmire’s good friend, Tremor Troll, tried to comfort him.“What’s the big deal? I think Treasure Troll is kind of cute. And she seems to be nice enough.”
Trogmire swallowed his last bite of salad and glared at Tremor.“Then why don’t you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by herself at the other end of the cafeteria. March over there and ask her to be your sweetie-poo!”
“She’s crazy about you, not me,”Tremor replied.
“Well, I don’t want any girlfriend, especially not a weird(古怪的),annoying one like her!”Trogmire growled(to make a sound to show anger).

Tremor followed Trogmire’s example and decided to save his apple pies for later. However, he carefully placed the bag into his lunch box.“Do you have any ideas about how to solve your problem?”Tremor asked.
“I’m going to be mean and rude to her,”Trogmire announced.“I’ll call her names and make ugly faces at her.”

It’s the Year of the Rat!
Millions of people crowded onto trains and buses across China on Wednesday. They were hurrying home to be with their families for the country’s most important holiday, the Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival. Thursday marked the end of the Year of the Pig, and the beginning of the Year of the Rat. But for a while, it looked as if severe winter weather in some regions of China would put a deep freeze on the celebrations. Due to dangerous conditions, airlines, railways and highways across the country were forced to shut down for the past few weeks. Many travelers were worried that they would not make it home for the holidays. Luckily, the crisis started winding down just in time for some roads and railways to reopen on Lunar New Year’s Eve.
More than one billion people worldwide celebrate the Lunar New Year. In China, people from Beijing to Guangzhou enjoy a holiday. Businesses and government offices are closed.

The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their manifest advantages. Furthermore, the advertising cost for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers “seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product”. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producers suspected that there might be deeper reasons. However, this was confirmed by one of motivation research"s classic studies, one often cited(引用)in the trade.
Mason Haire, professor of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were the same except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, baking powder, bread, canned peaches and potatoes, with the bands or amounts specified. The seventh item, in the fifth place on both lists, read “1 Ib. Maxwell House coffee” on one list and “Nescafe instant coffee” on the other. One list was given to each person in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in another group of the same size. The women were asked to study their lists and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman(“personality and character”)who would draw up(制定)that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was a poor planner. Eight women felt that the instant-coffee user was probably not a good wife. No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the house-wife who intended to buy regular coffee.
53. In this instance, the purpose of motivation research was to discover      .
why people drink coffee
B. why instant coffee was successful
C. why regular coffee was successful
D. the real reason why people would not buy instant coffee
54. This investigation indicates that       .
50 percent of housewives are lazy
B. housewives who use instant coffee are lazy
C. many women believe that wives who use instant coffee are lazy
D. wives who use regular coffee are good planners
55. On the results of this test, the producers probably revised their advertising to show a     .
lazy housewife using regular coffee
B. hard-working housewife using instant coffee
C. lazy housewife using instant coffee
D. man obviously enjoying the taste of instant coffee
56. It is implied but not stated that       .
A. Despite its advantages, most people dislike instant coffee because of its taste.
B. The advertising cost for instant coffee was greater than for regular coffee.
C. Very often we do not know the real reasons for doing things.
D. Taste is the principal factor in determining what we buy.
