    For many men an women today,the image that a watch communicates is more important than the time it tells. “Complications”---features that go beyond simple timekeeping—are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer a host of complications that suit almost any personality . These features include altitude trackers ,compasses, lunar calendars ,USB drivers , and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings !

    Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches , for men as well as women. The Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches . The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time . It looks more like a futuristic bracelet then a watch. Another Japanese watchmaker , EleeNo , makes a “handless” watch . Using a ring of circles to keep time , this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.

    In the past, the image of a man’s watch was quite different from that of a woman’s. Men’s watches tend to be bolder, larger, and more complicated than women’s watches, which were more likely to look like jewelry. Today, the differences between men’s and women’s watches are disappearing. Watchmakers are adding diamonds to their fine watches for man. And for women, they’re designing larger watches that contain complications. For example, some women’s watches now have calendars that show the phrases of the moon. Others show the time in two different cities, a handy funtion for business travelers. However, women still pay more attention than most men to the external beauty of a watch. And unlike men, women are still more likely to purchase watches that suit particular items in their wardrobes.

    72.According to the passage, one type of watch complications can show you____________.

    A. appointments for the day                       B. which direction is north

    C. how much weight you’ve put on                D. a list of telephone numbers

    73.What is the true information about the watch made by EleeNo?

    A. It uses different hands to keep time.             B. It’s rather popular.

    C. It doesn’t look like a watch.                   D. It’s much fun to talk about.

    74.What does the writer imply about watches for women?

    A. They are not as simple as they used to be.             

    B. They need to improve their quality.

    C. They have fewer functions and jewels.           

    D. They don’t last as long as they used to.

    75. What is the main topic of this article?

    A. Why women are likely to buy more watches than men?

    B. The differences between men’s and women’s watches

    C.Current trends in the watch industry.

    D.Useful tips for purchasing watches.

    Directions: The following people are expressing their thoughts (1--5) to show their concern for food, environment and so on. After that are pieces of related information (A--F). Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions61---65 and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.

    ______ How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.

    ___ More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.

    ______ Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides (农药).

    _____I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.

    ______ Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

    A. “Organic produce is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.

    B. Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

    C. Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

    D. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”

    E. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

    F. The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

    There are thousands of things to be sold that are of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are good enough for you to have a try. How packaging(包装)is the quiet but persuading salesman?  
    There on the shelves，each bottle, can and box has been carefully designed to speak to the inner self of the consumer(消费者), so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied on this and found that the look of the package has a great influence on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.
    Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years，the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it’s very good for your body. And the word “green" today can keep food prices going up.
    Shapes are another attraction．Circles often mean happiness, because they are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M sings of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.
    This new consumer response(反应)to the colors and shapes of packages reminds(提醒)producers and sellers that people buy to meet the needs of both body and heart.
    【小题1】According to the passage, ______ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the  product.

    A．the pleasing color of the package
    B．the special taste of the product
    C．the strange shape of the package
    D．the belief in the product
    【小题2】It can be inferred(推测)from the passage that V8 is a kind of        .
    A．vegetable dishB．healthy juice
    C．hard drinkD．red vegetable
    【小题3】“And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up” This sentence  
    suggests that consumers today are       .
    A．starting to notice the importance of new food
    B．enjoying the beauty of nature more than before
    C．beginning to like green vegetables
    D．paying more attention to their health
    【小题4】What’s the best title of the passage?
    A．Colors and Shapes
    B．Packaging Can Talk
    C．The response to the packages
    D．What is packing?
