There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging (包装) is the silent but persuading salesman .

There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer (消费者), so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.

Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.

Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.

This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.

1.According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.

A. the pleasing color of the package

B. the special taste of the product

C. the strange shape of the package

D. the belief in the product

2.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.

A. bring excitement to the consumers

B. attract the consumers’ attention

C. catch the eye movement of the consumers

D. produce a happy and peaceful feeling

3.“And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.

A. starting to notice the importance of new food

B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before

C. beginning to like green vegetables

D. paying more attention to their health

4.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.

A. vegetable dish　 B. healthy juice

C. iced drink　　 　　 D. red vegetable

Many of the most striking beasts on the planet come in only two colors: black and white. These high-contrast markings represent some of the nature's most diverse evolutionary choices. For some animals, black -and- white coloring is a way to warn off natural enemies. For others, to keep insects away. For still others, it creates a clever cover. Spend some time exploring what science has discovered about these animals’ appearances, and you will see that basic black and white isn't so basic after all.

Skunk

Depending on the species, black skunks may wear white spots that act as a cover or white stripes(条纹)that signal enemies to watch out for their smelly spray.

Giant Panda

Resent insights into panda coloring have come from studying each body part separately. Black ears indicate fierceness, and distinct eye patches aid in individual recognition. The panda in white body hides it against snow, white its dark limbs(四肢) keep it from being spotted in forests, a compromise developed from its poor bamboo diet:Bamboo doesn’t let pandas build up enough fat to hibernate(冬眠), forcing them to spend winters in the snow.

Badger

Even when a badger is in its cave, its facial stripes can be seen, Zoologists say the warning coloration helps the small animal prevent natural enemies.

Blackbuck(male)

In bright sun, the buck’s white stomach reduces the effect of the shadow cast by his back, allowing him to appear one color and two dimensional---especially hiding from natural enemies in his own shadown.

1.Which animals can use their color to warn off natural enemies?

A. Skunk and Badger B. Giant panda and Zebra

C. Badger and Blackbuck D. Zebra and Blackbuck

2.White body and dark limbs help the giant panda to ________.

A. show fierceness B. store fat

C. recognize individuals D. take cover

3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Which animals have black- and- white color?

B. How some animals protect themselves from harm.

C. Why so many animals wear black- and- white coats?

D. What science has discovered about different colors.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Bees in a colony work with each other to gather food, and they try to find the most nectar (花蜜)in the least amount of time possible. A small number of bees work as searchers, but when a good flower patch (花丛) is found, how do they tell other bees where to find it?

Bees communicate flower location using special dances inside the hive, where bees live. One bee dances while the other bees watch. The dancing bee smells like the flower patch, and also gives the watching bees a taste of the nectar she has gathered. Smell and taste helps other bees find the correct flower patch. Bees use two different kinds of dances to communicate information: the waggle (摇摆) dance and the circle dance.

Waggle dance

The waggle dance tells the watching bees two things about a flower patch's location: the distance and the direction away from the hive.

A. Distance

The dancing bee waggles back and forth as she moves forward in a straight line, then circlesaround to repeat the dance. The length of the middle line, called the waggle run, shows roughly how far it is to the flower patch.

B. Direction

Bees know which way is up and which way is down inside their hive, and they use this to show direction. How? Bees dance with the waggle run at a specific angle away from straight up. Outside the hive, bees look at the position of the sun, and fly at the same angle away from the sun.

Circle dance

The circle dance tells the watching bees only one thing about the flower patch’s location: that it is somewhere close to the hive.

In this dance, the bee walks in a circle, turns around, then walks the same circle in the opposite direction. Sometimes, the bee includes a little waggle as she’s turning around. The duration of this waggle is thought to indicate the quality of the flower patch.

1.Why does the searcher give the watching bees a taste of the nectar?

A. To inform them of the distance of the flower.

B. To celebrate her success of finding the nectar.

C. To motivate them to collect the nectar.

D. To ensure the bees find the right patch.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dances?

A. The searcher’s waggle means little during the circle dance.

B. The waggle dance indicates the direction of the flower patch.

C. The waggle dance shows precisely how far the flower patch is.

D. The quality of the flower patch is not shown in the circle dance.

3.If the searcher dances inside the hive in this way(see the right picture), which of the following is the WRONG flying direction for the other bees?

A. 　　 B. 　　 C. 　　 D.

We were sitting in her classroom, giggling each other and talking about the latest information of the day. Mrs Virginia De View, whose physical appearance made her an easy target for snickers (窃笑) and cruel jokes among students, cleared her throat and asked us to be silent.

“Now, Mrs.” Virginia De View said smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. We were only 13 and 14 years old!

“Yes, you will all be searching for your future professions.”she said.

“You will have to do a research paper on your upcoming career. Each of you will have to interview someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”

Finally, I picked print journalism, and interviewed a true-blue newspaper reporter in the flesh. After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from memory in class. I got an A on the entire project.

Years later, I forgot all about Virginia De View and the careers we selected. I was in college looking around for a new career. but with no success. Then I remembered Virginia De View and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't stop me. They just reminded me how competitive the field was. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. For the past 12 years, I've had the most incredible and satisfying reporting career .

I get asked all the time: “How did you pick journalism?”

“Well, you see, there was this teacher...” I always start out. Virginia Deview will probably never know without her help, I would not have become a journalist and a writer. I wonder now how many other students benefited from that career project.

I believe that when people reflect back over their school days, there will be their very own Virginia De View. Perhaps you can thank her before it's too late.

1.What did the students think of Mrs Virginia's project in her class?

A.Harmful B.Crazy

C.Beneficial D.Flexible
