    任务型读写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
    阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中空白处填入恰当得单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
    Traditionally, customers may consider more about what they buy the product for. However, the image of product and the consuming circumstance have become the key points to attract customer awareness and stimulate(刺激) their buying needs. Frequently, customers buy goods just because they are cute, lovely and unique. With a less emphasis on functional utilities, the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role. The image of product is emphasized, as well as the communication between products and consumers. “Customer  behavior, which appears to be focused and directed at the object and at pleasure, in fact responds to quite different objectives: displaced expression of desire, and the production of a code of social values through the use of differential signs”(Baudrillard) . The reason for image-oriented customer behavior is probably that customers’ lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to “Virtual Reality”. The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies, in which customers’ preference for fleeing reality is perfectly matched.
    This change requires us to take efforts to improve product image by integrating(综合) style, color, taste, shape and material, and communicate with customers creatively, imaginatively and innovatively, and enable them to enjoy the distinctive experience image brings. “[A] need is not a need for a particular object as much as it is a ‘need’ for difference” (Baudrillard). The typical example is Apple Computer’s IMAC, which has strong visual impact and outstanding dynamics. By this way, customer relationship can be set up through image, and brand can be treated as living that can transform people. Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas, where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated. In sum, consumption is negotiation, a never-ending conversation held in the languages of advertising, packaging, branding, fashion, and entertainment.

    Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital, a care clinic for the aged and dying patients, on April 21, the second Global Youth Service Day.
    Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially-decorated “care huts”. They talked with them and gave messages to patients kept in their beds.
    “I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people except talking with them and trying to cheer them up”, said Deng Yetao, a third-year student, “But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies. They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”
    “Even though they are suffering a lot, the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us. Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share. Instead of doing them a favor, I felt I was gaining a valuable lesson,” said Mao Xiaohua, another third-year student.
    Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon. The fact that most of the patients in the 80-room clinic are aged people with diseases which will lead to death soon made the volunteers’ hearts heavy.
    Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic, according to a survey by the hospital.
    Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programme. A total of 330,000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital. Many continue to offer services in their spare time. Some of them volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.
    Yin Hang, a student from Beijing Medical College, said he felt “the glory of life” as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who slipped into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.
    61. Youth volunteers from Beijing University went to Songtang Hospital to ______.
    A. pay a visit to the wounded        B. talk with the aged
    C. offer services to the aged          D. learn something from the aged
    62. What the aged most suffered from is ______.
    A. loneliness          B. death                       C. physical pain            D. disease
    63. According to what Mao Xiaohua said, we know that_____.
    A. the elderly taught him a good lesson when he talked to them
    B. he learned something important from the elderly instead of only helping them
    C. he only wanted to get something rather than do them a favor
    D. he was glad to have given them a favor
    64. When volunteers know most of the aged people in the clinic are dying patients, they feel _____.
    A. sad                   B. disappointed             C. hopeless                   D. worthless
    65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift－$7,000,a legacy(遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially(经济上),” says Dave.
    But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than $100,000.
    It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
    Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived on(喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before buying something.
    Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything.” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden. “They could see things they could do to make you happier and they would do them.”
    Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed(分送). It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents —should enrich the whole community (社区) and last for generations to come.
    Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.
    64. According to the text, the Fusses ____________.
    A. were employed by a truck company              B. worked in a school cafeteria
    C. were in financial difficulty                            D. lost their home
    65. Which of the following is true of the Hatches?
    A. They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.
    B. They left the family farm to live in an old house.
    C. They had their children during the Great Depression. 
    D. They helped their neighbors to find jobs.
    66. Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?
    A. They decided to open a store.                   B. They wanted to save money.
    C. They couldn’t afford expensive things       .      D. They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.
    67. According to Sandy Van Weelden, the Hatches were _________.
    A. mean                  B. childlike                   C. curious                    D. understanding

    SYDNEY （AFP） Nick Bryant reports:
    “It gives me great pleasure to introduce the new caretaker of the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, from the United Kingdom, Ben Southall.”
    A global recruitment（招聘） drive with the trappings of a TV reality show made it truly a tourism marketing campaign．
    The best job in the world’s competition finally has a winner, Ben Southall, a 34-year-old charity worker from Britain．He beat 34,000 candidates from 200 countries in an online competition that became something of an Internet phenomenon．
    “To go away now as the island caretaker for Tourism Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef is an extreme honour．I hope I can fill the boots as much as everybody is expecting, my swimming hopefully is up to standard and I look forward to all of the new roles and responsibilities that the task involves.” [Ben Southall]
    For a disappointing Australian tourism industry currently in the doldrums, this has been an unexpected encouragement．Tourism Queensland deliberately chose the middle of winter of the northern Hemisphere to launch the campaign back in January, but didn’t expect anywhere near the global response．They think the only countries where people didn’t visit their website were North Korea and a few African nations．
    What’s said to be the best job in the world comes with a $110,000 （about 750,000 yuan） contract for six months’ work, a luxury beachside home and a plunge pool．
    In return, the island caretaker will be expected to stroll the white sands, enjoy the sun, diving and taking care of the reef, “maybe clean the pool”-- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.
    For the losers meanwhile, there’s the worst of long journeys home.
    55．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．The global recruitment mostly took place online． 
    B．Ben Southall got the job in January.
    C．The recruitment started in winter in Australia．  
    D．The organizers knew the activity would attract attention from all over the world.
    56．The caretaker of the islands is expected to be good at all the following EXCEPT ______.
    A．swimming          B．writing   C．photographing        D．acting
    57．It can be inferred from the report that ______.
    A．it’s the easiest job in the world   
    B．you need to surf the Internet regularly to know what Ben Southall is doing there
    C．the organizers of the activity knew North Koreans would never be interested in the job
    D．The journey home of the losers of the competition will be dangerous
    58．The underlined word “doldrums” probably means ______ .
    A．depression          B．development  C．recovery        D．promotion
