Could it be a football or a big computer? No, the answer is a Coca-Cola bottle. Hundreds of millions of people can recognize a Coke bottle by its shape. Unlike any other famous commercial logo, the famous Coca-Cola logo has not changed in 100 years!In 1886, John Pemberton, a druggist in Atlanta, Georgia, invented a new type of syrup (糖浆), using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts, plus a few other secret ingredients. Pemberton sold it as a medicine; and with coca (the source of cocaine), it must have made people feel good! Nevertheless, Pemberton's medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula (配方) to another druggist, Asa Candler, Candler was interested, because he had another idea; he thought that Pemberton's "medicine" would be much better if it was mixed with soda. Candler was thus the man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. At first he sold it in his drugstore; then he began selling the syrup to other drugstores, where it was used with their soda fountains. Candler also advertised his new drink, and soon people were going to drugstores just to get a drink of Coca-Cola. Before long. other people became interested in the product, including a couple of businessmen who wanted to sell it in bottles. Candler sold them a license to bottle the drink, and very quickly the men became millionaires. Then in 1916 the famous bottle, with its very distinctive shape, was designed. During the First World War (1914-1918), American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the Coca-Cola company began to export it to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers that they then had to start bottling the drink in Europe. Today. Coca-Cola is made all over the world, including Russia and China; it is the world's most popular drink. As for the famous formula, it is probably the world's most valuable secret! The exact ingredients for making Coca-Cola are only known to a handful of people. And as for the coca that was in the original drink, it was removed in 1903, for it was a dangerous drug. Today's Coca-Cola contains caffeine, not cocaine!24What is the second paragraph mainly about?AThe key ingredient of Coca-Cola.BThe distinctive shape of Coca-Cola bottle.CThe ever-changing logo of Coca-Cola.DThe development of Coca-Cola.25Who was the very person that really invented the drink Coca-Cola?AJohn Pemberton.BAsa Candler.CAn American soldier.DA couple of businessmen.26What can we conclude from the last paragraph?AThe formula of Coca-Cola is still a well-kept secret.BThe ingredients for making Coca-Cola is of great value.CCoca wasn't removed from the drink until the First World War.DCaffeine has the same effect on patients as cocaine.27From which is the text probably taken?AA biology textbook.BA life magazine.CA research paper.DA travel brochure.CAs he applied sunscreen to his young daughters face, Dara ORourke, a professor of environmental and labor policy at the University of California, Berkeley, found himself wondering if the lotion(霜) was safe. He realized there was no readily available answer. The resulttwo years, a team of chemists, lots of testing and venture capital(风险投资) lateris GoodGuide. com. Launched in 2008, this is a website with a smart phone app that rates 140, 000 consumer products (only in America) according to their safety, environmental sustainability and the ethics of the firms that make them. Now GoodGuide has created a new “purchase analyzer” app designed to inform consumers not just about the values attached to products, but also about whether they are the virtuous(有信誉的) shoppers they say they want to be.Using the new app requires selecting a series of characteristics, which range from whether the user favours organic products to buying only from firms with a good human-rights record. Consumers then scan the bar code on a product with the camera in their smart phones. The app identifies it and checks in a database to score it. Much therefore depends on the quality of the data, which GoodGuide gathers from various sources, including government reports, scientific studies, and research by its own staff. If the product scores badly, the app will recommend an alternative item which is rated more highly. The app also tracks a consumers purchases to see how well he lives up to his selected values, giving a sort of personal virtue rating.So far, GoodGuide has mostly been used by shoppers who are keen to know about any issues connected with products they buy. They are mothers concerned about a childs health, older people facing a chronic(慢性的) illness or supporters of a cause, such as animal rights. The hope behind the app is that the idea of finding out about a products background will become the mainstream.Consumers rarely change their buying habits, even when provided with scientific and other data, says Mr ORourke. So he has drawn on insights from behavioral economics, which show shoppers can be greatly influenced by peer pressure and by information passed on to them by people they know. The app tries to take advantage of these pressures. The virtue rating will inform consumers how well they are doing according to the values they espouse(拥护). That measurement encourages them to do better. Soon, the rating will be able to be shared with others on social media sites such as Facebook, which could inspire a shopper to consume more thoughtfully.28Why does the author mention Dara ORourke applying sunscreen to his daughter?ATo show Dara ORourkes deep love for his daughter.BTo present the potential risks young children may face.CTo introduce the background of the creation of GoodGuide. com.DTo show customers increasing attention to the safety of products.29What can we know about the new “purchase analyze” app?AIt gathers data about the quality of a product from users.BIt recommends products based on users personal preference.CIt gives users guidance on how to identify the quality of a product.DIt traces users purchases to judge whether they are virtuous shoppers.30According to ORourke, peoples buying habits can be greatly affected by _.Aacquaintances recommendationsBsellers marketing strategiesCscientific dataDadvertisements31The purpose of the personal virtue rating is to encourage people to _.Aspend wiselyBchange their buying habitsCdeal with peer pressure positivelyDshare their shopping experiencesDArt therapy(疗法) is a creative approach to improving ones life.This can be done in many ways, such as drawing, coloring, painting, sculpting and many more art forms.These activities can help a person create a better physical, emotional and mental state.Art therapy can be especially beneficial to those who do not feel they can tell how they are feeling and instead can use different methods to express feelings and emotions.In art therapy, the patient has all the control.This can be beneficial when someone has had all control taken away from them in their trauma(创伤).This allows the patients to feel powerful and more expressive, being comfortable in the unknown.Art therapy allows space for joy and connection to the inner child.When children are growing up in an unsafe environment, sometimes they cannot feel safe to play.Art therapy offers a structure with flexibility.Art therapy can be seen in different lights.Within the comfort of your own home, you can draw or make clay sculptures to express yourself.However, working with a licensed art therapist will be at a greater advantage to the individuals as the activities can be personalized to the person's needs.Art therapy can sometimes be administrated in a group setting which can help build connections with other people while being creative.This may be as beneficial as the creating of the art, as having healthy connections can be beneficial for fighting depression.Studies show there is a giving-off of dopamine(多巴胺) when being creative; when we do something pleasurable, the chemical makes us feel happier.This can have a positive effect when dealing with anxiety or depression and is good to self-respect.A chain event occurs where the patient comes to understand themselves on a deeper level, and consequently, communication becomes easier and emotion roadblocks are solved.32Who can benefit from the art therapy the most?AThose who are crazy about drawing.BThose who have trouble speaking out their feelings.CThose who like to do creative activitiesDThose who want to communicate with their children.33How does the art therapy help a patient?AOffer a feeling of flexibility.BTeach the patient how to draw.CMake the patient enjoy different art.DGive the patient a feeling of comfort.34What does a licensed art therapist do?AHelp the patient see different light.BHelp the patient go along with depression.CHelp the patient form his own treatment.DHelp the patient become more creative.35What does the last paragraph talk about?AThe benefits of being happy.BThe consequence of communication.CThe physical advantage of art therapy.DThe effect when dealing with anxiety or depression.第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。What will man be like in the future? How about in 5,000 0r even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. _36_Let's give an example. Man, even 500 years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively short period of time, so we may guess that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more-and finally we shall need even larger ones! _37_ The head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger._38_ In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. _39_ At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In t
