五、阅读理解（共20分）
本部分有两篇短文，每篇短文后有五个问题，每个问题有四个供选择的答案。请选择一个最佳答案。
Passage 1
In 1909 an English newspaper offered 1,000 pounds to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colourful.
One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motorcar lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had crashed several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in a crash! ”But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.
The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,”he said, “if I’m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now. ”Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometres from the French coast, his plane had engine trouble. It crashed into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He

was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off 6 days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. “Have you anything to declare?”the officer demanded.

Passage 2
Today, supermarkets are found in almost every large city in the world. But the first supermarket was opened only fifty years ago. It was opened in New York by a man named Michael Cullen.
A supermarket is different from other types of stores in several ways. In supermarkets, goods are placed on open shelves. The customers choose what they want and take them to the check-out counter. This means that fewer employees are required than in other stores. The way products are displayed is another difference between supermarkets and many other types of stores. For example, in supermarkets there is usually a display of small inexpensive items just in front of the check-out counter: candies, chocolate, magazines, cheap books and so on. Why are they there?
Most customers who go to a supermarket buy from a shopping list. They know exactly what they need to buy. They shop according to a plan. By the time he or she reaches the check-out counter, the customer is feeling pleased and relaxed because the task of shopping is finished. In this happy mood, the customer sees an attractive display of inexpensive goods that were not on his or her shopping list. Now he or she feels like buying something just for his or her own pleasure and enjoyment. Many customers buy from these displays of products near the check-out counter, and this is exactly what the owner of the supermarket hopes they will do.
Another important fact in helping a customer choose what to buy is where a product is placed
6
on a shelf. A product that is placed at eye level on a shelf sells much better than one which is placed on a lower or higher shelf. A product which is easy to see sells best. Manufacturers pay a higher price to have their products placed at eye level on the shelves.
The comfort and convenience of shopping centers is another factor which makes them popular with customers. Large parking spaces are provided, and many supermarkets stay open until very late at night.
6. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?
A. Today supermarkets are found in almost every big city.
B. The first supermarket was opened only half a century ago.
C. The first supermarket was opened in New York.
D. A supermarket is different from other kinds of stores in two ways.
7.According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?
A. Supermarkets need more clerks than other stores.
B. In supermarkets goods are placed on closed shelves.
C. The customers prefer supermarkets to other kinds of stores.
D. The customers pay any clerk they meet for what they have bought in supermarkets.
8. A product that is placed ______ sells best.
A. on a lower shelf
B. on a higher shelf
C. as high as one’s waist
D. as high as one’s eyes
9. Why do you think shopping centers attract more customers than other kinds of stores?
A. They have more kinds of goods.
B. They have few employees.
C. They display small inexpensive items in front of check-out counters.
D. They have large parking lots and they stay open until almost midnight.
10.According to the way small inexpensive items are displayed we can infer that the owner of a supermarket has a good knowledge of ______.
A. physiology
B. psychology
C. biology
D. biophysics
