Then, on your Answersheet, find the number of the problem and mark your answer.Passage 1It has been fou
36、nd that less than one shopper in five makes-a-complete shoppinglist before going to the store. The reason for this is that seven out of ten of todays purchases are decided in the store, where the shoppers tend toward impulse buying.Buying groceries on impulse has risen for the past forty years, and
37、this rise hascoincided with the growth of self-service shopping. However, in grocery stores whereclerks wait on customers there is much less impulse buying. It is hard for peopleto buy on impulse if they have to address a clerk.Psychiatrists have joined forces with merchandising experts. It is their
38、 jobto persuade people to buy products which they may not need or even want until thesee them attractively presented. It was discovered by the psychiatrists that theyprefer the package that hypnotizes them into choosing it. Therefore, it is now moreusual for good pacers to put more hypnosis into the
39、ir package designs. Hypnosisdepends heavily on the position of the product on the shelf, however. Thus,hypnotizing the shopper is easier if the product is located at eye-level.71. “It has been found that less than one shopper in five makes complete shoppinglist before going to the store.” This means
40、 that_.A. few shoppers make a complete shopping listB. only five shoppers make a complete shopping listC. not even one shopper makes a complete shopping listD. not even twenty percent of the shopper make a complete shopping list72. “This rise in impulse buying has coincided with the growth self-serv
41、iceshopping.” This means that_.A. both impulse buying and self-service shopping have increasedB. impulse buying has increased but not self-service shoppingC. self-service shopping has increased but not impulse buyingD. either impulse buying or self-service shopping has increased73. “In grocery store
42、s where clerks wait on customers there is much less impulsebuying.” This means that_.A. where there is no self-service shopping is no impulse buyingB. some grocery stores do not allow self-service shoppingC. when customers buy things by impulse, the clerks just waitD. there is more impulse buying if
43、 the clerk do not wait on the customers74. “It is the job of psychiatrists and merchandising experts to persuade peopleto buy products that they may not need or even want until they see them attractivelypresented.” This means that_.A. attractive presentation of products increases salesB. merchandisi
44、ng experts do not need to buy productsC. people can be persuaded to buy only by attractive presentationD. people buy unnecessary or unwanted things75. “Having so many choices confuses the customers, and they prefer the packagethat hypnotizes them into choosing it.” This means that_.A. hypnosis produ
45、ces confusionB. package choice can result from hypnosisC. package choice result from confusionD. confusion results in hypnosisPassage 2Allelomimetic behavior may be defined as behavior in which two or more individualanimals do the same thing, with some degree of mutual stimulation and coordination.I
46、t can only evolve in species with sense organs that are well enough developed sothat continuous sensory contact can be maintained. It is found primarily invertebrates, in those species that are diurnal, and usually in those that spend muchof their lives in the air, in open water, or open plains.In b
47、irds, allelomimetic behavior is the rule rather than the exception, thoughit may occasionally be limited to particular seasons of the year as it is in theredwing blackbird. Its principal function is that of providing safety from predators,partly because if one bird reacts to danger, the whole flock
48、is warned.Among mammals, allelomimetic behavior is very rare in rodents, which almostnever move in flocks or herds. Even when they are artificially crowded together,they do not conform in their movements.In the pack-hunting carnivores, allelomimetic behavior has another function,that of cooperative
49、hunting for large prey animals such as moose. Wolves also defendtheir dens as a group against larger predators such as bears.Finally, allelomimetic behavior is highly developed among most primate group,where it has the principal function of providing warning against predators. thoughcombined defensi
50、ve behavior is also seen in troops of baboons.76. The main topic of the passage is the_.A. values of allelomimetic behavior in vertebrate and invertebrate species.B. definition and distribution of allelomimetic behaviorC. relationship of allelomimetic behavior to the survival of the fittestD.persona
