Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension（30points，2points for each）从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，填在该题后的括号内。
Passage One Questions21 to 25 are based on the following passage. People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. Who decides what you buy in the supermarkets? Do you decide?
Does the supermarket decide?
When you enter the supermarket，you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles（过道）between the shelves. You
push a shopping cart and put your food in it.
You probably hear slow music as you walk along the aisles;
if you hear fast music，you walk quickly. The super-market plays
slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things. Maybe you go the meat department first. There is some meat
on sale，and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket
knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper
meat is at the end of the meat department，away from where the
customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat
before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the
expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
The dairy（乳制品）department sells milk and milk products
such as butter and cheese. Many customers like milk that has
only a little butterfat in it. One store has three different
containers of low fat milk. One says“1percent（1%）”fat on the
container. The second says“99percent（99%）far free”.The third
says“Low Fat”in big letters and“1%”in small letters. As you
can see，all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is
all the same. The amount of milk in each container is also the
same. However in this store the three containers of milk don t
cost the same. Maybe the customer will buy the milk that costs the most. 21.This passage mainly discusses . 【 】

supermarkets

C. where customers enter the meat department D. where customers enter the dairy department 24.The cheaper meat is put at the end of the meat department
because . 【 】
A. the supermarket wants to sell more of the expensive meat B. customers can be easily reminded before they leave C. the supermarket intends to sell it at its original price D. customers can be easily enabled to make a comparison 25.The author implies that customers tend to believe that . 【 】
A. the more expensive the milk，the better its quality B. the bigger the container，the better the milk in it C. the less fat the milk contains，the cheaper it costs D. the more words there are on the container，the less fat the
milk in it contains
Passage Two Questions26 to30 are based on the following passage.
All of us rely on what we see. W e say to ourselves，“I know，I was there; I saw it happen”and that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the evidence of our eyes? Take competitive sports. Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will the disagree with the referee（裁 判）.“He was out of bounds when he caught the pass，”says one fan. Says another，“You are crazy. I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind.”The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not convinced—because they were there!
It s the same story in the courtroom. Trial procedure depends on witnesses giving sworn testimony（证词）.But j
ust how
reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study，ten thousand witnesses were asked to
describe the man they saw commit a crime. The study reveals that ，on the average，the witnesses overestimated the man s height by five inches，his age by eight years，and gave the wrong hair color in83percent of the cases. These witnesses didn’t play tricks on them!
What can we do to keep error to a minimum? First of all，dont let your emotions interfere with your vision. Don t see something because you want to see it. Secondly，try to stay relaxed. If you are tense，you are likely to see red when the color is blue. And finally，it helps to make notes of what you see. Don t rely on your memory alone. Take pictures，make
recordings，and use any other aid to reduce distortion（歪曲）.
26.The main idea of this passage is that . 【 】 A. all of us rely on what we see B. we can t completely trust what we see C. sworn eyewitnesses are unreliable D. fans usually disagree with the referee
27.The passage suggests that fans at sport events . 【 】 A. show no respect for the truth B. lie about what they see C. are controlled by emotion D. have no faith in the referee
28.Statistical studies show that . 【 】 A. courtroom testimony only confuses the judge B. courtroom testimony is often unreliable C. eyewitnesses are remarkably accurate D. eyewitnesses tend to conceal what they see
29.The word“them”（Paragraph3）refers to . 【 】 A. the judges and the trial procedure B. the witnesses and their testimony C.83percent of the cases
D. the height，age and hair color of the criminal
30.In order to keep error to a minimum，we are advised to . 【 】 A. separate our emotions from what we see B. improve our memory of what we see C. get a better look at what we are interested in D. concentrate on what makes us relaxed
