27、cross the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 31 The other day my son asked me if he could ride up to his elementary school on his bike and meet his friend. He wanted the both of them to fide back to our house so they could play video games and jump on the trampoline (蹦床 ) . I have

28、 to admit, part of me wanted to say no. We can go pick him up or his parents can bring him over here, I thought. But my son is eleven years old now. And after all, I do let him ride his bike to school. But I also drive my daughter to school and I can see him on the way, making sure he is getting the

29、re safely. My husband thinks I am too overprotective. I dont dare to let my children walk anywhere without one of us going along. As you pull out of our neighborhood, there is a shopping center across the street. My son always asks if he can ride his bike or walk over to the drugstore by himself. Bu

30、t crossing that street is just too dangerous. The cars fly around the corner like theyre driving in a car race. What if he gets hit? What if some teenage bullies are hanging out in the parking lot? I want so much to give my children the freedom that I enjoyed having when I was growing up but I hesit

31、ate to do so because there are dangers around every corner. Too many kidnaps, too many sex offenders. I went online and discovered there are 41 sex offenders in my area alone. I honestly dont think my mom worried about such things when her children were young. Growing up in the 1970s was indeed a di

32、fferent time. I never wore a helmet (头盔 ) when I rode a bike. We were all over the neighborhood, on our bikes and on foot, coming home for dinner and then back out again until dark. We rode in the back of the truck, didnt wear seatbelts. I walked to and from school every day. 31 What did the author

33、feel reluctant to let her son do? （ A） Meet his friend. （ B） Play video games. （ C） Ride his bike on streets. （ D） Jump on the trampoline. 32 What does the author mean when she says “But my son is eleven years old now“? （ A） He is a bit too young to go out alone. （ B） He is old enough to be given so

It is because they all aim at persuading people to buy things. In the supermarket, it takes a while for the mind to get into a

39、shopping mode. This is why the area immediately inside the entrance is known as the “decompression zone“. People need to slow down and look around, even if they are regulars. In sales terms this area is bit of a loss, so it tends to be used more for promotion. Immediately inside the first thing shop

40、pers may come to is the fresh fruit and vegetables section. For shoppers, this makes no sense. Fruit and vegetables can be easily damaged, so they should be bought at the end, not the beginning, of a shopping trip. But what is at work here? It turns out that selecting good fresh food is a way to sta

41、rt shopping, and it makes people feel less guilty about reaching for the unhealthy stuff later on. Shoppers already know that everyday items, like milk, are invariably placed towards the back of a store to provide more opportunities to tempt customers. But supermarkets know shoppers know this, so th

42、ey use other tricks, like placing popular items halfway along a section so that people have to walk all along the aisle looking for them. The idea is to boost “dwell time“: the length of time people spend in a store. Traditionally retailers measure “football“, as the number of people entering a stor

43、e is known, but those numbers say nothing about where people go and how long they spend there. But nowadays, a piece of technology can fill the gap: the mobile phone. Path Intelligence, a British company tracked peoples phones at Gunwharf Quays, a large retailer centre in Portsmouth not by monitorin

44、g calls, but by plotting the positions of handsets as they transmit automatically to cellular networks. It found that when dwell time rose 1$ sales rose 1.3%. Such techniques are increasingly popular because of a deepening understanding about how shoppers make choices. People tell market researchers

45、 that they make rational decisions about what to buy, considering things like price, selection or convenience. But subconscious forces, involving emotion and memories, are clearly also at work. 37 In Paragraph 2, “decompression zone“ is the area meant to_. （ A） prepare shoppers for the mood of buyin

46、g （ B） offer shoppers a place to have a rest （ C） encourage shoppers to try new products （ D） provide shoppers with discount information 38 Putting fruit-and-vegetable section near the entrance takes advantage of shoppers _. （ A） common sense （ B） shopping habits （ C） shopping psychology （ D） concer

47、ns with time 39 Path intelligence uses a technology to_. （ A） measure how long people stay at a store （ B） count how many people enter a store （ C） find out what people buy in a store （ D） monitor what people say and do in a store 40 What happened at Gunwharf Quays showed that sales_. （ A） was rever

48、sely linked to dwell time （ B） was in direct proportion to dwell time （ C） was affected more by football than by dwell time （ D） was affected more by dwell time than by football 41 The author argues that shoppers_. （ A） exert more influence on stores than they imagine （ B） are more likely to make ra

49、tional choices than they know （ C） have more control over what they buy than they assume （ D） tend to make more emotional decisions than they think 42 The best title for the passage is_. （ A） New Technology Boosts Stores Sales （ B） How Shoppers Make Choices in Stores （ C） The Science behind Stores Arrangements （ D） Rational and Irrational Ways of Shopping 43 About a century ago more people would not have appreciated the study of a foreig
