Ⅰ.阅读理解

The consumer always has had to be clever, but with the economy worse and worse, the stakes(赌注) have been raised.The sharks are out there attracting us in, desperate for our money.You can't believe everything you read, even in a newspaper.

I just saw an airline ad for holiday travel, promising me in VERY LARGE type that I could go almost anywhere for $199.Then, when I looked a little closer, there was a star that referred me to the tiny type at the bottom of the page that the $199 was a one－way fare.But I couldn't make a one－way trip.I had to buy a round－trip ticket.

I don't have a clue why they didn't just say the roundtrip ticket was $398.In fact，I think it's a much more powerful selling point.For just under $400 you're able to return home from a holiday.Who in their right mind would want a one－way ticket?

But perhaps the cruelest marketing trick done on us is the “calories per serving(一份食物的热量)” on food packaging.For years, I lived happily with the belief that each package was a serving.I didn't realise that each box or bag had a number of servings in it.So I ate.Who ever believed a whole bag of potato chips could have only 150 calories？Me.And yes,  I'm a fool.

But once I learned the trick that had been played on me, I became bored.I would multiply the number of servings in the bag with the calories per serving, quickly realising millions of calories were hiding in those containers.

I finally calmed myself down and now don't even look at the calories per serving.It makes life easier.That's why my recent purchase of the first box of holiday eggnog(蛋奶酒) was such a pleasure.Santa can count the servings.I'll drink till I sleep.If only that mattress(床垫) were on sale.

(　　)1.Consumers always have had to be clever because ________.

A．most people are lacking money

B．newspapers always tell false stories

C．there are many attractive salesmen around

D．they are easily cheated by ads or something

(　　)2.In the author's opinion, the price of $199 was ________.

A．too high to accept

B．reasonable to pay

C．equal to $400 in reality

D．not practical at all

(　　)3.Why does the author think of himself as a fool?

A．He ate a lot of food poor in calories.

B．He believed potato chips were healthy food.

C．He thought each serving had few calories.

D．He mistook calories of per serving for each bag's.

(　　)4.What's the main idea of the text?

A．Goods on sale are usually bad.

B．Ads today are hard to understand.

C．Buyers should beware of marketing tricks.

D．Forgetting the calories makes life easier.

【语篇解读】本文通过举例告诉我们：不要被商家的虚假信息所迷惑。

1．D　细节理解题。由第一段可知，随着经济的萧条，消费者买东西要更加小心，因为到处都充斥着虚假信息，消费者很容易受骗。

2．D　推理判断题。由第二段可知，作者认为199美元只是单程票的费用，而顾客所需要的一般是双程票，因此，此项优惠并不实用。

3．D　细节理解题。作者长时间以来认为一份食物所含的热量就是一包食物所含的热量，殊不知，一包食物并不只是一份食物的量，因此作者认为自己是个傻子。

4．C　主旨大意题。作者通过举例告诉读者：不要被商家的虚假信息迷惑。
