Terasa Hill did not intend to do something unplanned. It began when Terasa was observing a horse auction (拍卖). A chestnut: racehorse was for sale “She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, though it had an injured leg,” said Terasa.
When the bidding started, Terasa surprised herself by stepping in. Finally, Terasa became the new owner of Sierra, and Sierra, limping (跛) and hurt with pain from a broken knee, became a labour of love for Terasa. After three long months of nursing her under the guidance of a local animal doctor, the leg recovered.
It wasn’t only Sierra’s leg that needed to recover; Sierra needed to relearn how to trust people. Terasa thought the best way to win Sierra’s trust and fondness was to feed her treats. Terasa kept providing Sierra with many treats, but none passed the sniff (嗅) test. Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and grains, which she baked in her own kitchen. The cookies were a hit with Sierra and other horses, sending Terasa’s life in a new direction.
Her treats, called “Barnies”, were sold to a local store and like hotcakes, within months local businessmen began demanding for more. Terasa’s kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, moving her operation to an Oshawa company.
Then a serious health problem threatened to ruin her plans. Terasa called upon the same resolution that had helped her save Sierra to help her overcome her own illness. Family and friends came to her rescue and kept Barnies Ltd. going. Almost a year later, healthy and more resolute than ever, Terasa found a national distributor and Bainies began selling in 144 stores across Canada.
And what about Sierra, the inspiration for all this success and change The horse has fully recovered and has become a wonderful riding horse.
4. Why did Terasa create her own cookies
A. To show superb cooking skills. B. To provide a special diet for Sierra.
C. To find a way to bond with the horse. D. To lay the foundation for her business.

The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice. It outlines the four basic steps used to persuade potentials to make a purchase. The first three steps lie in creating attention (A), decorating interest (I), and building desire (D) for the product, before the fourth step — the “call to action” (A) — tells them exactly how and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer’s feelings through each stage toward reaching a sale.
Attracting the customer’s attention is the first challenge and this may be achieved by using an attracting phrase or picture. Once someone’s attention has been clutched, it must be turned into real interest. This is best done by providing a brief description of the product’s benefits to the consumer rather than simply listing the product’s main features or problem-solving claims.
Now, it is time to transform that interest into a desire for a product or service. This is where consumers need to believe their lives could be better by possessing the product. It could be a vital step towards turning a potential into a real customer.
“Call-to-action” is where all of the initial hard work pays off and leads to the action from a potential customer. For example, they might pick up the phone to discuss the idea of a trial of the services or, alternatively, they may just buy that product or service that has been promoted to them all along.
And AIDA is used to great effect in the movie industry. Movie studios begin their marketing campaigns months in advance. The campaigns develop by offering attractive flashes of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview which is fully designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue on the opening weekend. Advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie’s release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket.
8 What is the purpose of practising AIDA
A. To create jobs. B. To increase sales.
C. To research markets. D. To introduce products.
9. What does the underlined word “clutched” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Seized. B. Freed. C. Cheated. D. Affected.
10. In which stage of the AIDA model may a customer call to try the service
A. Action. B. Interest. C. Desire. D. Attention.
11. Why does the author mention the movie industry in the last paragraph
A. To design an AIDA model. B. To display how AIDA works.
C. To show how to make a movie. D. To advertise the movie industry.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AIDA模式是现代市场营销和广告实践的基础以及它是如何工作的。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“AIDA can channel the customer’s feelings through each stage toward reaching a sale.(AIDA可以引导客户的感受通过每个阶段来达成销售) ”可推知，实践AIDA就是为了增加销售。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Attracting the customer’s attention is the first challenge and this may be achieved by using an attracting phrase or picture.(吸引顾客的注意力是第一个挑战，这可以通过使用一个吸引人的短语或图片来实现) ”可推知，划线句意思为“一旦某人的注意力被抓住了，就必须把它转化为真正的兴趣。”故clutched意为“抓住”，和A选项Seized同义。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““Call-to-action” is where all of the initial hard work pays off and leads to the action from a potential customer. For example, they might pick up the phone to discuss the idea of a trial of the services or, alternatively, they may just buy that product or service that has been promoted to them all along.(“行动号召”是指所有最初努力都得到了回报，并导致潜在客户采取行动。例如，他们可能会拿起电话讨论试用服务的想法，或者，他们可能只是购买一直向他们推广的产品或服务)”可知，在AIDA模型的行动阶段，客户可能打电话来尝试服务。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And AIDA is used to great effect in the movie industry. Movie studios begin their marketing campaigns months in advance. The campaigns develop by offering attractive flashes of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview which is fully designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue on the opening weekend. Advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie’s release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket. (AIDA在电影工业中发挥了巨大的作用。电影制片厂会提前几个月开始营销活动。宣传活动通过提供有吸引力的电影片段而不透露太多信息来发展。Desire的灵感来自于完整预览版的发布，该预览版旨在展示电影的激动人心的时刻，从特效到幽默的对白。报纸和电视上的广告关注电影的上映，邀请消费者去买票)”可推知，作者在最后一段提到了电影行业，以展示AIDA是如何工作的。故选B。
D
Foods high in sugar are unhealthy, but these additives are too delicious for many of us to give up or reduce in a way. What if we could somehow enjoy their taste without actually eating them A student team has now designed a spoon with a structure that stimulates taste buds (味蕾) to produce a sense of sweetness without adding calories or chemicals. The project follows previous work involving flavor-enhancing cutlery (餐具) like chopsticks that increase sweetness with a mild electric current.
The five undergraduate and graduate research students wanted to create a new spoon called Sugarware for people with such disorders as diabetes, with which sugar is largely off their menu.
The-new spoon would have several bumps (凸起) on its underside to press against the tongue. The bumps can be covered with a permanent layer of molecules (分子) called ligands. These ligands bond with taste-cell receptor proteins that typically react to sugar molecules or artificial sweeteners. The bond can activate nerve signals, causing the brain to register a sense of sweetness. A diner could thus stimulate sweetness receptors without actual intake of sugar or artificial sweeteners.
This idea is similar to the previous work in that they all use cutlery to enhance taste without a user having to actually consume any sugar. “But the mechanism for stimulating the taste buds is completely different,” Shiyu Xu, one of the student researchers, says, “It uses bumps and taste-bud-stimulating molecules rather than electricity.”
The idea is “very creative”, says Paola Almeida, who is the global director of corporate innovation at candy maker Mars. But the product’s commercial success would require a significant behavioral shift among consumers: instead of adding the usual sugar or artificial sweeteners, now we’re saying, “Use this cutlery,” Almeida says, “It remains to be seen whether flavor-enhancing cutlery will catch on”.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How the new invention works. B. How a diner feel sweetness.
C. How ligands and proteins link. D. How sugar molecules function.
13. In what way is the previous flavor-enhancing cutlery different from Sugarware
A. It makes food more delicious. B. It sends out signals to the brain.
C. It uses electricity to enhance taste. D. It reduces users’ food consumption.
14. What is Paola Almeida’s attitude to the future of Sugarware
A. Positive. B. Uncertain. C. Critical. D. Concerned.
15. What’s the best title of the text
A. Struggling for Low Sugar — Try This Spoon
B. Looking for Delicious Food — This is How
C. Working for Commercial Success — Be Creative
D. Dieting for Better Health — Mind Sweeteners
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了一个学生团队设计了一种结构能刺激味蕾的勺子，在不添加卡路里或化学物质的情况下产生甜味。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The new spoon would have several bumps (凸起) on its underside to press against the tongue. The bumps can be covered with a permanent layer of molecules (分子) called ligands. These ligands bond with taste-cell receptor proteins that typically react to sugar molecules or artificial sweeteners. The bond can activate nerve signals, causing the brain to register a sense of sweetness. A diner could thus stimulate sweetness receptors without actual intake of sugar or artificial sweeteners. (新勺子的底部会有几个凸起来压住舌头。这些凸起可以被一层永久性的分子覆盖，这种分子被称为配体。这些配体与味觉细胞受体蛋白结合，通常对糖分子或人工甜味剂起反应。这种结合可以激活神经信号，使大脑产生甜味。因此，用餐者可以在不摄入糖或人工甜味剂的情况下刺激甜味受体)”可知，本段主要讲述新勺子是通过什么方式让人的大脑受到刺激感知甜味，即新发明的工作原理。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“‘But the mechanism for stimulating the taste buds is completely different,’Shiyu Xu, one of the student researchers, says,‘ It uses bumps and taste-bud-stimulating molecules rather than electricity.’(“但是刺激味蕾的机制是完全不同的，”学生研究员Shiyu Xu说，“它使用的是撞击和刺激味蕾的分子，而不是电。”)”可知，以前的增味餐具与糖餐具的不同之处是，以前的餐具利用电来提高味道。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It remains to be seen whether flavor-enhancing cutlery will catch on (风味增强餐具是否会流行还有待观察)”可知，Paola Almeida对Sugarware的未来持的态度是不确定的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Foods high in sugar are unhealthy, but these additives are too delicious for many of us to give up or reduce in a way. What if we could somehow enjoy their taste without actually eating them A student team has now designed a spoon with a structure that stimulates taste buds (味蕾) to produce a sense of sweetness without adding calories or chemicals. (高糖食物是不健康的，但这些添加剂太美味了，我们很多人都不能放弃或减少某种程度上的添加剂。如果我们不用吃它们就能享受它们的味道呢 一个学生团队现在设计了一种勺子，它的结构可以刺激味蕾，在不增加卡路里或化学物质的情况下产生甜味)”、第三段“The-new spoon would have several bumps(凸起)on its underside to press against the tongue. ( 新勺子会有几个凸起在其下侧，以压在舌头上)”以及最后一段“It remains to be seen whether flavor-enhancing cutlery will catch on(风味增强餐具是否会流行还有待观察)”可知文章在第一段提出了能刺激味蕾但又不用加糖的勺子这一概念，后续段落进行了简要说明并引用了业内人士的观点作进一步说明，文章标题关键词应为勺子、低糖等。故A项“为低糖而挣扎 ——试试这个勺子”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选A项。

Terasa Hill did not intend to do something unplanned. It began when Terasa was observing a horse auction (拍卖). A chestnut: racehorse was for sale “She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, though it had an injured leg,” said Terasa.
When the bidding started, Terasa surprised herself by stepping in. Finally, Terasa became the new owner of Sierra, and Sierra, limping (跛) and hurt with pain from a broken knee, became a labour of love for Terasa. After three long months of nursing her under the guidance of a local animal doctor, the leg recovered.
It wasn’t only Sierra’s leg that needed to recover; Sierra needed to relearn how to trust people. Terasa thought the best way to win Sierra’s trust and fondness was to feed her treats. Terasa kept providing Sierra with many treats, but none passed the sniff (嗅) test. Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and grains, which she baked in her own kitchen. The cookies were a hit with Sierra and other horses, sending Terasa’s life in a new direction.
Her treats, called “Barnies”, were sold to a local store and like hotcakes, within months local businessmen began demanding for more. Terasa’s kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, moving her operation to an Oshawa company.
Then a serious health problem threatened to ruin her plans. Terasa called upon the same resolution that had helped her save Sierra to help her overcome her own illness. Family and friends came to her rescue and kept Barnies Ltd. going. Almost a year later, healthy and more resolute than ever, Terasa found a national distributor and Bainies began selling in 144 stores across Canada.
And what about Sierra the inspiration for all this success and change The horse has fully recovered and has become a wonderful riding horse.
4. Why did Terasa create her own cookies
A. To show superb cooking skills. B. To provide a special diet for Sierra.
C. To find a way to bond with the horse. D. To lay the foundation for her business.
5. Which best describes Terasa according to paragraph 3
A. Inflexible. B. Pessimistic. C. Confident. D. Determined.
6. Why is the last paragraph an effective conclusion
A. It raises a valuable question.
B. It provides surprising information.
C. It returns to the topic of the opening paragraph.

The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice. It outlines the four basic steps used to persuade potentials to make a purchase. The first three steps lie in creating attention (A), decorating interest (I), and building desire (D) for the product, before the fourth step — the “call to action” (A) — tells them exactly how and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer’s feelings through each stage toward reaching a sale.
Attracting the customer’s attention is the first challenge and this may be achieved by using an attracting phrase or picture. Once someone’s attention has been clutched, it must be turned into real interest. This is best done by providing a brief description of the product’s benefits to the consumer rather than simply listing the product’s main features or problem-solving claims.
Now, it is time to transform that interest into a desire for a product or service. This is where consumers need to believe their lives could be better by possessing the product. It could be a vital step towards turning a potential into a real customer.
“Call-to-action” is where all of the initial hard work pays off and leads to the action from a potential customer. For example, they might pick up the phone to discuss the idea of a trial of the services or, alternatively, they may just buy that product or service that has been promoted to them all along.
And AIDA is used to great effect in the movie industry. Movie studios begin their marketing campaigns months in advance. The campaigns develop by offering attractive flashes of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview which is fully designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue on the opening weekend. Advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie’s release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket.
8. What is the purpose of practising AIDA
A. To create jobs. B. To increase sales.
C. To research markets. D. To introduce products.
9. What does the underlined word “clutched” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Seized. B. Freed. C. Cheated. D. Affected.
10. In which stage of the AIDA model may a customer call to try the service
A. Action. B. Interest. C. Desire. D. Attention.
11. Why does the author mention the movie industry in the last paragraph
A. To design an AIDA model. B. To display how AIDA works.
C. To show how to make a movie. D. To advertise the movie industry.
D
Foods high in sugar are unhealthy, but these additives are too delicious for many of us to give up or reduce in a way. What if we could somehow enjoy their taste without actually eating them A student team has now designed a spoon with a structure that stimulates taste buds (味蕾) to produce a sense of sweetness without adding calories or chemicals. The project follows previous work involving flavor-enhancing cutlery (餐具) like chopsticks that increase sweetness with a mild electric current.
The five undergraduate and graduate research students wanted to create a new spoon called Sugarware for people with such disorders as diabetes, with which sugar is largely off their menu.
The-new spoon would have several bumps (凸起) on its underside to press against the tongue. The bumps can be covered with a permanent layer of molecules (分子) called ligands. These ligands bond with taste-cell receptor proteins that typically react to sugar molecules or artificial sweeteners. The bond can activate nerve signals, causing the brain to register a sense of sweetness. A diner could thus stimulate sweetness receptors without actual intake of sugar or artificial sweeteners.
This idea is similar to the previous work in that they all use cutlery to enhance taste without a user having to actually consume any sugar. “But the mechanism for stimulating the taste buds is completely different,” Shiyu Xu, one of the student researchers, says, “It uses bumps and taste-bud-stimulating molecules rather than electricity.”
The idea is “very creative”, says Paola Almeida, who is the global director of corporate innovation at candy maker Mars. But the product’s commercial success would require a significant behavioral shift among consumers: instead of adding the usual sugar or artificial sweeteners, now we’re saying, “Use this cutlery,” Almeida says, “It remains to be seen whether flavor-enhancing cutlery will catch on”.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How the new invention works. B. How a diner feel sweetness.
C. How ligands and proteins link. D. How sugar molecules function.
13. In what way is the previous flavor-enhancing cutlery different from Sugarware
A. It makes food more delicious. B. It sends out signals to the brain.
C. It uses electricity to enhance taste. D. It reduces users’ food consumption.
14. What is Paola Almeida’s attitude to the future of Sugarware
A. Positive. B. Uncertain. C. Critical. D. Concerned.
15. What’s the best title of the text
A. Struggling for Low Sugar — Try This Spoon
B. Looking for Delicious Food — This is How
C. Working for Commercial Success — Be Creative
D. Dieting for Better Health — Mind Sweeteners
