信息匹配(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)
閱讀下列應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息,并按照要求匹配信息。請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡上將對(duì)應(yīng)題號(hào)的相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)字母涂黑。
首先,請(qǐng)閱讀下面有關(guān)購車的五條建議:
5 steps to getting the best price in buying a new car.
Ideally, a dealership should help you find the right vehicle at a fair price. But some dealers place more emphasis on their profit margins than on satisfying their customers.
Read the following situations and match the advice with them.
56. Many dealerships prey on the unprepared. Going into a showroom “cold”--without having gathered key facts and preliminary(初步的) pricing figures--gives the salesperson too much control over the buying process.
57. The dealer invoice price is commonly available on Web sites and in pricing guides. But the invoice price isn't necessarily what the dealer paid. There are often behind-the-scenes bonuses(幕后紅利), such as dealer incentives and holdbacks, that give the dealer more profit margin.
58. Salespeople like to mix financing, leasing, and trade-in negotiations together, often asking you to negotiate around a monthly payment figure. This tactic(策略) gives the dealer more latitude to offer you a favorable figure in one area while inflating figures in another.
59. The salesperson may try to sign you up for a higher rate than you could get elsewhere.
60. Dealers often try to sell you extras such as rust proofing, fabric protection, and paint protectant, or push etching your Vehicle Identification Number on windows to deter thieves.
請(qǐng)結(jié)合以上情形,與下面的建議進(jìn)行匹配。
When buying a car, keep your interests front and center--and avoid common pitfalls(缺陷) that can cost you extra money--by following these tips:
A. Don't assume that the sticker price(標(biāo)價(jià)) is the purchase price(買價(jià)).
To get the lowest price, go in with a starting price that's based not on the sticker price but on how much the dealer paid for the vehicle.
A reasonable price to start negotiations is either 4 to 8 percent over what the dealer paid or the CR Wholesale Price, depending on the demand for the model.
B. Do your homework.
Thoroughly research your choices. Read a variety of reviews. Check the reliability, safety, fuel economy, and pricing of any models you're considering. And don't wait until the day you plan to buy to test drive the vehicles. If you have a trade-in, know its approximate worth. That will depend on the vehicle's age, condition, mileage, and equipment, as well as where you trade it in.
C. Negotiate one thing at one time.
Make clear that you want the lowest possible mark-up over your starting price. Add that you intend to visit other dealerships selling the same vehicle and will buy from the dealer with the best price.
Only after you've settled on the price should you discuss financing, leasing, or a trade-in, as necessary. Negotiate each item individually. Remember, you're in charge and can leave at any time. Heading for the door can sometimes jump-start a slow-moving negotiation or bring a lower offer.
D. Don't pay for extras you don't need.
Don't accept those unnecessary services and fees. If the items are on the bill of sale, put a line through them. Vehicle bodies are already coated to protect against rust. And CR reliability surveys show that rust is not a major problem with modern cars. You can treat upholstery and apply paint protectant yourself with good off-the-shelf products. You can also do your own VIN etching with a kit that costs about $25.
E. Other costs.
In addition to the vehicle price, you need to consider other costs, including: Sales tax ; Registration fees ; Insurance premiums
Taxes and registration fees can increase your out-of-pocket cost by as much as 10 percent or more, and driving a car that’s worth more than your current one will cost more to insure. Be sure to check with your insurance agent or get insurance quotes online so you understand what you’re getting into.
F. Arrange financing in advance.
Compare interest rates at several banks, credit unions, and loan organizations before checking the dealer's rates. If pre-approved for a loan, you can keep financial arrangements out of the negotiations. Automakers may offer attractive financing terms, but make sure you qualify for them.

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled—to $1. 01 per pack—smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.
This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.
The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.
In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4. 78.
The influence is obvious.
In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.
Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.”
That’s true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.
66 The text is mainly about___________.
A. the price of cigarettes B. tie rate of teen smoking
C. the effect of tobacco tax increase D. the differences in tobacco tax rate
67 What does the author think is a surprise?
A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.
B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.
C. Tobacco taxes improve public health.
D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.
68. The underlined word "deter” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______ .
A. discarding B. remove C. benefit D. free
69. Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of _____ .
A. tolerance B. unconcern C. doubt D. sympathy
70. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.
B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.
C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.
D. Adults will depend more on their families.

Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 16 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always 17 his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, 18 to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 19 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the 20 customs check.

Glen was 27 before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 28 . For many times of entry-exit 29 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment.

Nobody likes home economics (家政學(xué)). But restoring the program could help us in the fight against obesity and chronic (慢性的) diseases today.
The home economics movement was founded on the belief that housework and food preparation were important subjects that should be studied scientifically. The first classes occurred in the agricultural and technical colleges that were built in the 1860s. When most departments of universities rejected women, home economics was a back door into higher education.
Indeed, in the early 20th century, home economics was a serious subject When few people understood germ (微生物) theory and almost no one had heard of vitamins, home economics classes offered vital information about washing hands regularly, eating fruits and vegetables and not feeding coffee to babies.
However, today we remember only the fixed ideas about home economics, forgetting the movement’s most important lessons on healthy eating and cooking. Too many Americans simply don’t know how to cook. Our diets, consisting of highly processed foods made cheaply outside the home, have contributed to many serious health problems. In the last decade, many cities and states have tried to tax junk food heavily or to ban the use of food stamps (食品券) to buy soda. Clearly, many people are doubtful about any governmental steps to promote healthy eating. But what if the government put the tools of obesity prevention in the hands of children themselves by teaching them how to cook?
My first experience with home economics happened two decades ago when I was a seventh grader in a North Carolina public school. A year later, my father’s job took our family to Wales, where I attended a large school for a few months. It was the first time I had ever really cooked anything. I remember that it was fun, and with an instructor standing by, it wasn’t hard. Those lessons stuck with me when I first started cooking for my husband and myself after college and they still do. Teaching cooking in public schools can help solve some problems facing Americans t day. The history of home economics shows it’s possible.
1.Home economics______.
A. is a subject becoming more and more popular with Americans
B. is often used to help fight against obesity and chronic diseases
C. once offered women a. special approach to university education
D. was first taught in the agricultural and technical colleges in the early 1900s
2. The third paragraph mainly tells us______ .
A. the importance of regular hand washing
B. the health benefits of fruits and vegetables
C. the contents of home economics classes in the early 20th century
D. the significance of teaching home economics in the early 20th century
3. In the opinion of the author, how should we fight against childhood obesity?
A. Children should be taught how to cook.
B. A heavy tax should be put on junk food
C. Healthy eating should be promoted at school
D. Using food stamps to buy soda should be banned
4. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Her family moved frequently in her childhood.
R Cooking classes have a far-reaching influence on her later life.
C. To receive a better education, she went to a large school in Wales.
D. Teaching cooking is the key to solving Americans’ health problems.

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆江西省高三上學(xué)期第三次月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
Almost a decade ago, the federal government dropped $10 million for an Earth-monitoring satellite that never made it into space. Today it sits in a closet in Maryland. Cost to taxpayers for storing it: $1 million a year. And that's just what's hiding in one closet. Who knows what's in the rest of them?
Because we think the government should be held to at least the same standards as a publicly traded company, and because as taxpayers, we're America's shareholders, we performed an audit (財(cái)務(wù)檢查)of sorts of the federal books. We're not economists, but we do have common sense. We tried to get help from Congressional staffers from both parties, as well as various watchdog groups and agencies. In the end, we found that the federal government wastes nearly $1 trillion every year.
That's roughly equal to the amount collected annually by the Internal Revenue Service in personal income taxes. Put another way, it's also equal to about one-third of the country's $2.9 trillion total annual budget. And reclaiming that lost trillion could help wipe out the country's annual budget deficit(赤字), improve education, and provide health insurance for those who don't have it.
So how do you define "waste"? David Walker of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a federal watchdog agency, calls it "the government's failure to give taxpayers the most for their money." For our part, we used the kind of household test you would use on a piece of meat sitting in your refrigerator: If it smells rotten, it's waste. Our government regularly pays for products and services it never gets, wildly overpays companies to do things it could do more cheaply itself, loses money outright due to lax(不嚴(yán)格的)accounting and oversight, and spends money randomly on unnecessary programs.
How exactly does the federal government waste your hard-earned tax dollars? We've identified what we consider ten of the worst ways.
1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph1 really means .
A.there are many other closets B.there are some other satellites
C.there is something else in the closets D.the waste may be quite amazing
2.Which of the following can best describe the feeling of the author?
A.Annoyed. B.Calm. C.Surprised. D.Not concerned.
3.Which of the following statements may be right?
A.The country’s annual budget is usually decided by the public.
B.The government failed in launching the satellite.
C.The government is only wasting money in space experiments.
D.The amount collected annually in personal income taxes is equal to the country’s budget.
4.The best title for the passage would be .
A.Protecting Our Rights!
B.Our Country Is In Danger!
C.The Government Is Wasting Our Tax Dollars!
D.How to Prevent Government from Wasting Money!
5.What might be talked about if the passage is continued?
A.The government’s taking some steps to stop wasting taxes.
B.Presenting people’s feelings against the government’s wasting taxes.
C.Giving suggestion to help the government solve the financial problem.
D.Listing how the government is wasting taxes.
