Ⅱ．Grammar and Vcabulary
Sectin A（1*10=10）
Directins: After reading the passage belw, fill in the blanks t make the passages cherent and grammatically crrect. Fr the blanks with a given wrd, fill in each blank with the prper frm f the given wrd; fr the ther blanks, use ne wrd that best fits each blank.
Just as peple have altered their skin’s clr t indicate wealth and beauty, s have cultures arund the glbe marked their skin t shw cultural identity r cmmunity status. Tatting（纹身）, fr example, has been carried ut fr thusands f years. Leaders in places 21 （include）ancient Egypt, Britain, and Peru wre tatts t mark their status r bravery. Tday, amng the Mari peple f New Zealand, full-facial tatts are still used 22 （identify） the wearer as a member f a certain family.
In Japan, tatting had been practiced fr a lng time 23 it was utlawed in the 19th century. Despite the fact that there are n laws against it tday, tatts are still strngly assciated with criminals-particularly the yakuza knwn fr their full-bdy tatts. The cmplex design f a yakuza member’s tatt includes symbls f character qualities 24 the wearer wants t have. The prcess f getting a full-bdy tatt is bth slw and painful and 25 can take tw years r mre t cmplete.
In sme cultures, scarring-a marking which 26 （cause） by cutting r burning the skin — is a practice, usually amng peple wh have darker skin n which a tatt wuld be difficult t see. Fr many men in West Africa, scarring is a ceremny f passage- 27 act symblizing that a male has matured frm a child int an adult. In Australia, amng sme native peple, cuts 28 （make） n the skin f bth men and wmen shw that they reach the age f 16 r 17. 29 these, they were traditinally nt permitted t trade, sing ceremnial sngs, r participate in ther activities.
Nt all skin markings are permanent, thugh. In cuntries such as Mrcc and India, wmen 30 decrate their skin with clrful henna designs fr celebratins such as weddings and imprtant religius hlidays. The henna clring, which cmes frm a plant, fades ver time.
Sectin B （1*10=10）
Directins: Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the wrds in the bx. Each wrd can nly be used nce. Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
“When a snw lepard fllws its prey（猎物） amng the muntain walls, it mves... sftly, slwly,” explains Indian bilgist Raghunandan, wh has studied animals fr years. “If it kncks a stne lse, it will 31 ut a ft t stp it frm falling and making nise.” One might be mving right nw, 32 silent, maybe clse by. But where?
Best knwn fr its 33 cat and lng distinctive tail, the snw lepard is ne f the wrld’s mst secretive animals. These big cats can nly be fund high in the remte, 34 regins f Central Asia. Fr this reasn, and because they hunt 35 at night, they are very rarely seen.
Snw lepards have been fficially prtected since 1975, but enfrcing this law has prven difficult. Many cntinue t be killed fr their fur and bdy parts, which are 36 a frtune n the black market. In recent years, thugh, cnflict with lcal herders（牧人） has als led t a number f snw lepard deaths. This is because the big cats kill the herders’ animals, and drag the bdies away high up in the muntains t eat. Thus, the herders’ animals are in danger f snw lepard attacks, which can push thse herders int desperate pverty. T address this prblem, lcal religius leaders have called fr an end t snw lepard killings, saying that these wild animals have the 37 t exist peacefully. They’ve als tried t 38 peple that it is f great imprtance t prtect thse big cats.
As a result f these pressures, the 39 snw lepard ppulatin is estimated at nly 4,000 t 7,000, and sme fear that the actual number may already have drpped belw 3,500．The nly way t 40 this trend and bring these cats back frm their threatened status, say cnservatinists, is t make them mre valuable alive than dead.
Ⅲ．Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A（1*15=15）
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Over the decades, sme scientists have blamed higher rates f certain types f cancer and bne diseases n caffeine cnsumptin, cncluding that health risks are 41 t it. T date, hwever, there is n prf that caffeine causes these diseases.
A number f ther scientists believe that regular caffeine use causes 42 . Heavy caffeine users, they say, exhibit similar behavirs. Fr example, their mds swing frm high t lw, they get mild t severe headaches, r they feel tired r sad when they can’t have a caffeinated drink. T 43 r stp these feelings, users must cnsume caffeine—a behavir they say is characteristic f drug addictin.
Despite these 44 , the general pinin in the scientific cmmunity is that caffeine is nt dangerus when cnsumed in mderatin. This means having ne r tw small cups f cffee （abut 300ml） per day, fr example. Furthermre, a lt f current research challenges 45 negative beliefs abut caffeine. Sme research even suggests that it may, 46 , have health benefits. Fr instance, studies have shwn that caffeine can help ease muscle pain. Because it is a stimulant（兴奋剂）, caffeine can als help imprve ne’s md. Research has als shwn that sme caffeinated drinks—especially certain teas—have disease-fighting 47 that can help the bdy fight a number f illness, including certain type f cancer.
In additin, as a type f mental stimulant, caffeine increases 48 , memry and reactin speed. Because it fights exhaustin, it 49 perfrmance n tasks like driving, flying, and slving simple math prblems. And while it is true that caffeine can increase bld pressure, the effect is usually temprary and therefre nt 50 t cause heart truble. This is especially true if caffeine is cnsumed in mderatin. Mrever, despite its nearly universal use, caffeine has 51 been abused. “With caffeine, 52 tends t stp itself,” says Jack Bergman, a medical specialist. “If yu cnsume t much, yu get … uncmfrtable, and yu dn’t want t cntinue.”
Caffeine’s behaviral effects are real, but mst ften 53 . Getting that burst f energy, f curse, is why many f the wrld’s mst ppular drinks 54 caffeine. Whether it’s a student drinking cffee befre class r a businesspersn enjying tea with lunch, humankind’s favrite stimulant is 55 every day, all ver the wrld.

Sectin B （2 *11=22）
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
（A）
Mst teachers assign nvels fr students t read nt write. But many teachers natinwide are nt nly asking students t read nvels but als giving them a mnth t write them.
Yes, yu read that right: ne mnth.
Hwever, students participating in Nvember’s Natinal Nvel Writing Mnth （NaNWriM）d nt cmplain abut being verwrked. Instead, they have been knwn t ask, “Can we wrk n ur nvels tday?” That’s because, abve all, NaNWriM is meant t be fun. An exercise in “seat-f-yur-pants” nvel writing, it has almst n rules.
The Office f Letters and Light is the nnprfit behind the event. It believes this carefree apprach encurages writers t take imaginative risks and truly enjy their wrk. Funded in 1999, the adult versin f the event requires nly that yu cmmit yurself t making an attempt at nvel writing and submitting a nvel f 50,000 wrds, n matter hw gd r bad they are, by the end f Nvember.
Since 2005, NaNWriM has entered many classrms, including thse f Natinal Writing Prject teachers, thrugh its Yung Writers Prgram. In additin, teachers receive a classrm kit featuring a prgress chart, stickers t mark wrd cunts, and buttns fr writers wh crss the finish line.
Abut 1,800 classrms and 45,000 kids and teens participated last year. The rules fr under-18 writers are the same as thse fr adults. But there is ne imprtant exceptin: yung writers can pick their wn “reasnable yet challenging” wrd length. If a student chses t write, say, 18,000 wrds and achieves this gal in a mnth, he r she is a winner. Awards include a “handsme winner’s certificate” and a prmtinal cde t receive a free bund prf cpy f the finished nvel.
The Yung Writers Prgram als facilitates Script Frenzy, a similar scriptwriting event that happens each April and challenges participants t write a 100-page script in 30 days.
While yung writers wrk primarily as individuals, teachers are als encuraged t write alng with them.

The cncept f dynamic pricing is simple—and easy fr businesses t implement. Whether it’s a Friday-evening fight, a htel during the hlidays, r a taxi ride in a heavy rain, we have all been burned by higher-than-nrmal prices due t excess demand. Raising csts when businesses are busiest is cmmn acrss the travel industry. Perhaps the mst well-knwn example f this is within ride-share cmpanies, which have used surge pricing fr years t charge riders when demand fr cars rises relative t the number f drivers available.
“Outside travel, nline stres are increasingly using this dynamic pricing, t,” says Arnd Vmberg. “On Amazn. cm alne, millins f price changes ccur within a day, which means a price change f abut every ten minutes fr each prduct.” While cnsumers might nt always pick up n these variatins in price, Vmberg says time-based dynamic pricing will likely becme a cmpetitive standard at least in nline markets. “AI-enabled tls can suggest the best prices via machine learning algrithms （算法）. They can als track and learn cmpetitr and custmer respnses t price changes,” he says.
Nw, surge pricing is happening in stres including bars and supermarkets as well. “Physical businesses are adpting electrnic shelf labels that enable real time price adjust ment depending n the time f day, stck levels and whether items are appraching their sell-by date,” says Sarwar Khawaja, chairman f the Oxfrd Educatin Grup. He says this technlgy is likely t cause prices in bars that use these signs t increase during the rushes f dinner, weekends r hlidays, r fr supermarkets t adjust prices thrughut the day r week, depending n vlume f shppers.
The current ecnmic climate is als driving the need fr these pricing technlgies. While creating cmpetitive prices is always key t healthy prfit margins. Khawaja says dynamic pricing enables businesses t ptimize（优化） their pricing depending n the financial situatins f their custmer base. “Businesses can ffer discunts during dwnturns, while increasing prices in better ff areas,” he says.
The changes, hwever, may nt sit well with cnsumers. “Dynamic and surge pricing will likely expand t mre industries and mre cmpanies in the lng term, but just because a prduct may be ppular des nt mean that custmers are willing t turn a blind eye t being charged mre,” says Khawaja. He adds surge pricing can cause custmers t lse faith in a cmpany if they believe they are being vercharged. “Perhaps dynamic pricing f a drink in yur favrite pub might be a step t far fr lyal custmers.”
63．Which f the fllwing best explains “dynamic pricing” in paragraph 1?
A．A methd that helps prmte sharing ecnmy.
B．A means fr cmpanies t find target custmers.
C．A system f deciding what the prices shuld be.
D．A strategy f ffering discunts t attract clients.
64．It can be inferred frm Arnd Vmberg’s cmments that nline stres ______.
A．ffer the mst cmpetitive prductsB．make prfits by changing prices in real time
C．cnfuse custmers by changing pricesD．rely t much n machine learning algrithms
65．Accrding t the passage, why d physical businesses adpt dynamic pricing?
A．T match supply and demand during peak hurs.
B．T lift custmer experience and encurage lyalty.
C．T maintain stable pricing acrss all prducts.
D．T cmpete with nline stres and businesses.
66．Which f the fllwing best predicts hw custmers may react t the expansin f dynamic pricing?
A．Turn t whatever ffers the best prducts.B．Prtest against it fr being favrable t the rich.
C．Refuse t give in and are likely t resist.D．Take it fr granted and accept it altgether.
Sectin C （2*4=8）
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Everyne knws that running is a gd way t stay in shape. The simplicity f running appeals t many peple. Yu dn’t need a lt f cmplicated r expensive equipment; yu just need a gd pair f running shes. Well, that idea is changing. 67．
This is nt a surprise t the Tarahumara Indians, wh live in nrthwest Mexic. The rugh terrain（地势） in their area makes it easier t travel n ft than by hrse r by car. Traditinally, the Tarahumara were hunters. They fllw their prey ver lng distances, smetimes, fr days, until the animals became exhausted. 68． They are knwn fr their endurance, running races f 50 miles r lnger. When Tarahumara athletes ra n in the marathn at the 1968 Olympics, they didn’t understand that the race was ver after nly 26.2 miles, s they kept running. “T shrt, t shrt,” they cmplained.
But here is the amazing part: Tarahumara runners dn’t wear running shes. Tarahumara shes are very simple. The sle （鞋底） is a piece f rubber held t the ft with hmemade belt. These rubber sles prtect against sharp bjects, but they dn’t prvide any supprt r cushining.
Hw is it pssible that sme f the best runners in the wrld dn’t wear running shes? Scientific studies are beginning t pint t smething the Tarahumara have knwn fr centuries: Human beings are built fr running bareft. In a recent study, researchers used a vide camera t examine hw athletes run when they are bareft. 69． When they d this, the arch（足弓） f ft absrbs the impact. Then that frce is redirected back up thrugh the leg.
70． Walk int a sprting gds stre tday and yu will find sectins that are devted t the shes using the simplest structure. With a thin sle and heel, they are designed t be the shes that feel like n shes. The increasing number f these shes n the market is evidence f this new trend. It is clear that she cmpanies and runners are beginning t accept the wisdm f Tarahumara—bareft may be the best.

After testing the games with sme adults, she gt permissin t buy six cpies f a game called Slutins. The gal is t pick cards and then add them t the game bard in a way that helps reduce glbal temperatures. Students d nt cmpete against each ther. They wrk tgether t chse the best plan f actin. The game is different frm ther bard games where the gal is t win. Rsenthal said she hped the games wuld give students a chance t talk abut climate change in a new way. During mst classes, students read material and then discuss their ideas. Students laughed, disagreed and had t call fr vtes as a way t decide hw t mve frward in the game. Maggie said it was a “way t have fun... while als learning abut such a serius subject.”

Tymakers are develping new games and changing ld nes t target a different grup: peple ver 65 years ld. Ty prducers suggest the prducts culd help lder peple increase their brain skills as well as reduce lneliness. Hwever, sme experts have raised dubts abut their claims.
Ben Swartz,92, lives with his 85-year-ld wife in a retirement cmmunity. He ra n 14 ty stres in the 1970s. He has nticed sme f the new fferings frm the ty industry, and he apprves f the mves. He plays games five days a week with his friends. He said the games help his mind, therwise, he wuld wrry that his “mind wuld start t g a little bit slw.”
While sme scientists welcme tymakers paying attentin t lder buyers, they als warn f these prducts’ limitatins. Neil Charness and Walter Bt, bth f Flrida State University, wrked tgether t test the idea that brain games help preserve mental abilities such as reasning r thinking. They fund that peple get better in the specific skills f the game if they play ver and ver again. But the games d nt translate t mental abilities needed fr everyday living activities, like maintaining independent living. The researchers als said that there is limited evidence t date that playing games can greatly reduce lneliness.

Just as peple have altered their skin’s clr t indicate wealth and beauty, s have cultures arund the glbe marked their skin t shw cultural identity r cmmunity status. Tatting（纹身）, fr example, has been carried ut fr thusands f years. Leaders in places 21 （include）ancient Egypt, Britain, and Peru wre tatts t mark their status r bravery. Tday, amng the Mari peple f New Zealand, full-facial tatts are still used 22 （identify） the wearer as a member f a certain family.
In Japan, tatting had been practiced fr a lng time 23 it was utlawed in the 19th century. Despite the fact that there are n laws against it tday, tatts are still strngly assciated with criminals-particularly the yakuza knwn fr their full-bdy tatts. The cmplex design f a yakuza member’s tatt includes symbls f character qualities 24 the wearer wants t have. The prcess f getting a full-bdy tatt is bth slw and painful and 25 can take tw years r mre t cmplete.
In sme cultures, scarring-a marking which 26 （cause） by cutting r burning the skin — is a practice, usually amng peple wh have darker skin n which a tatt wuld be difficult t see. Fr many men in West Africa, scarring is a ceremny f passage- 27 act symblizing that a male has matured frm a child int an adult. In Australia, amng sme native peple, cuts 28 （make） n the skin f bth men and wmen shw that they reach the age f 16 r 17. 29 these, they were traditinally nt permitted t trade, sing ceremnial sngs, r participate in ther activities.
Nt all skin markings are permanent, thugh. In cuntries such as Mrcc and India, wmen 30 decrate their skin with clrful henna designs fr celebratins such as weddings and imprtant religius hlidays. The henna clring, which cmes frm a plant, fades ver time.
Sectin B （1*10=10）
Directins: Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the wrds in the bx. Each wrd can nly be used nce. Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
“When a snw lepard fllws its prey（猎物） amng the muntain walls, it mves... sftly, slwly,” explains Indian bilgist Raghunandan, wh has studied animals fr years. “If it kncks a stne lse, it will 31 ut a ft t stp it frm falling and making nise.” One might be mving right nw, 32 silent, maybe clse by. But where?
Best knwn fr its 33 cat and lng distinctive tail, the snw lepard is ne f the wrld’s mst secretive animals. These big cats can nly be fund high in the remte, 34 regins f Central Asia. Fr this reasn, and because they hunt 35 at night, they are very rarely seen.
Snw lepards have been fficially prtected since 1975, but enfrcing this law has prven difficult. Many cntinue t be killed fr their fur and bdy parts, which are 36 a frtune n the black market. In recent years, thugh, cnflict with lcal herders（牧人） has als led t a number f snw lepard deaths. This is because the big cats kill the herders’ animals, and drag the bdies away high up in the muntains t eat. Thus, the herders’ animals are in danger f snw lepard attacks, which can push thse herders int desperate pverty. T address this prblem, lcal religius leaders have called fr an end t snw lepard killings, saying that these wild animals have the 37 t exist peacefully. They’ve als tried t 38 peple that it is f great imprtance t prtect thse big cats.
As a result f these pressures, the 39 snw lepard ppulatin is estimated at nly 4,000 t 7,000, and sme fear that the actual number may already have drpped belw 3,500．The nly way t 40 this trend and bring these cats back frm their threatened status, say cnservatinists, is t make them mre valuable alive than dead.
Ⅲ．Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A（1*15=15）
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Over the decades, sme scientists have blamed higher rates f certain types f cancer and bne diseases n caffeine cnsumptin, cncluding that health risks are 41 t it. T date, hwever, there is n prf that caffeine causes these diseases.
A number f ther scientists believe that regular caffeine use causes 42 . Heavy caffeine users, they say, exhibit similar behavirs. Fr example, their mds swing frm high t lw, they get mild t severe headaches, r they feel tired r sad when they can’t have a caffeinated drink. T 43 r stp these feelings, users must cnsume caffeine—a behavir they say is characteristic f drug addictin.
Despite these 44 , the general pinin in the scientific cmmunity is that caffeine is nt dangerus when cnsumed in mderatin. This means having ne r tw small cups f cffee （abut 300ml） per day, fr example. Furthermre, a lt f current research challenges 45 negative beliefs abut caffeine. Sme research even suggests that it may, 46 , have health benefits. Fr instance, studies have shwn that caffeine can help ease muscle pain. Because it is a stimulant（兴奋剂）, caffeine can als help imprve ne’s md. Research has als shwn that sme caffeinated drinks—especially certain teas—have disease-fighting 47 that can help the bdy fight a number f illness, including certain type f cancer.
In additin, as a type f mental stimulant, caffeine increases 48 , memry and reactin speed. Because it fights exhaustin, it 49 perfrmance n tasks like driving, flying, and slving simple math prblems. And while it is true that caffeine can increase bld pressure, the effect is usually temprary and therefre nt 50 t cause heart truble. This is especially true if caffeine is cnsumed in mderatin. Mrever, despite its nearly universal use, caffeine has 51 been abused. “With caffeine, 52 tends t stp itself,” says Jack Bergman, a medical specialist. “If yu cnsume t much, yu get … uncmfrtable, and yu dn’t want t cntinue.”
Caffeine’s behaviral effects are real, but mst ften 53 . Getting that burst f energy, f curse, is why many f the wrld’s mst ppular drinks 54 caffeine. Whether it’s a student drinking cffee befre class r a businesspersn enjying tea with lunch, humankind’s favrite stimulant is 55 every day, all ver the wrld.

（A）
Mst teachers assign nvels fr students t read nt write. But many teachers natinwide are nt nly asking students t read nvels but als giving them a mnth t write them.
Yes, yu read that right: ne mnth.
Hwever, students participating in Nvember’s Natinal Nvel Writing Mnth （NaNWriM）d nt cmplain abut being verwrked. Instead, they have been knwn t ask, “Can we wrk n ur nvels tday?” That’s because, abve all, NaNWriM is meant t be fun. An exercise in “seat-f-yur-pants” nvel writing, it has almst n rules.
The Office f Letters and Light is the nnprfit behind the event. It believes this carefree apprach encurages writers t take imaginative risks and truly enjy their wrk. Funded in 1999, the adult versin f the event requires nly that yu cmmit yurself t making an attempt at nvel writing and submitting a nvel f 50,000 wrds, n matter hw gd r bad they are, by the end f Nvember.
Since 2005, NaNWriM has entered many classrms, including thse f Natinal Writing Prject teachers, thrugh its Yung Writers Prgram. In additin, teachers receive a classrm kit featuring a prgress chart, stickers t mark wrd cunts, and buttns fr writers wh crss the finish line.
Abut 1,800 classrms and 45,000 kids and teens participated last year. The rules fr under-18 writers are the same as thse fr adults. But there is ne imprtant exceptin: yung writers can pick their wn “reasnable yet challenging” wrd length. If a student chses t write, say, 18,000 wrds and achieves this gal in a mnth, he r she is a winner. Awards include a “handsme winner’s certificate” and a prmtinal cde t receive a free bund prf cpy f the finished nvel.
The Yung Writers Prgram als facilitates Script Frenzy, a similar scriptwriting event that happens each April and challenges participants t write a 100-page script in 30 days.
While yung writers wrk primarily as individuals, teachers are als encuraged t write alng with them.

The cncept f dynamic pricing is simple—and easy fr businesses t implement. Whether it’s a Friday-evening fight, a htel during the hlidays, r a taxi ride in a heavy rain, we have all been burned by higher-than-nrmal prices due t excess demand. Raising csts when businesses are busiest is cmmn acrss the travel industry. Perhaps the mst well-knwn example f this is within ride-share cmpanies, which have used surge pricing fr years t charge riders when demand fr cars rises relative t the number f drivers available.
“Outside travel, nline stres are increasingly using this dynamic pricing, t,” says Arnd Vmberg. “On Amazn. cm alne, millins f price changes ccur within a day, which means a price change f abut every ten minutes fr each prduct.” While cnsumers might nt always pick up n these variatins in price, Vmberg says time-based dynamic pricing will likely becme a cmpetitive standard at least in nline markets. “AI-enabled tls can suggest the best prices via machine learning algrithms （算法）. They can als track and learn cmpetitr and custmer respnses t price changes,” he says.
Nw, surge pricing is happening in stres including bars and supermarkets as well. “Physical businesses are adpting electrnic shelf labels that enable real time price adjust ment depending n the time f day, stck levels and whether items are appraching their sell-by date,” says Sarwar Khawaja, chairman f the Oxfrd Educatin Grup. He says this technlgy is likely t cause prices in bars that use these signs t increase during the rushes f dinner, weekends r hlidays, r fr supermarkets t adjust prices thrughut the day r week, depending n vlume f shppers.
The current ecnmic climate is als driving the need fr these pricing technlgies. While creating cmpetitive prices is always key t healthy prfit margins. Khawaja says dynamic pricing enables businesses t ptimize（优化） their pricing depending n the financial situatins f their custmer base. “Businesses can ffer discunts during dwnturns, while increasing prices in better ff areas,” he says.
The changes, hwever, may nt sit well with cnsumers. “Dynamic and surge pricing will likely expand t mre industries and mre cmpanies in the lng term, but just because a prduct may be ppular des nt mean that custmers are willing t turn a blind eye t being charged mre,” says Khawaja. He adds surge pricing can cause custmers t lse faith in a cmpany if they believe they are being vercharged. “Perhaps dynamic pricing f a drink in yur favrite pub might be a step t far fr lyal custmers.”
63．Which f the fllwing best explains “dynamic pricing” in paragraph 1?
A．A methd that helps prmte sharing ecnmy.
B．A means fr cmpanies t find target custmers.
C．A system f deciding what the prices shuld be.
D．A strategy f ffering discunts t attract clients.
64．It can be inferred frm Arnd Vmberg’s cmments that nline stres ______.
A．ffer the mst cmpetitive prductsB．make prfits by changing prices in real time
C．cnfuse custmers by changing pricesD．rely t much n machine learning algrithms
65．Accrding t the passage, why d physical businesses adpt dynamic pricing?
A．T match supply and demand during peak hurs.
B．T lift custmer experience and encurage lyalty.
C．T maintain stable pricing acrss all prducts.
D．T cmpete with nline stres and businesses.
66．Which f the fllwing best predicts hw custmers may react t the expansin f dynamic pricing?
A．Turn t whatever ffers the best prducts.B．Prtest against it fr being favrable t the rich.
C．Refuse t give in and are likely t resist.D．Take it fr granted and accept it altgether.

Everyne knws that running is a gd way t stay in shape. The simplicity f running appeals t many peple. Yu dn’t need a lt f cmplicated r expensive equipment; yu just need a gd pair f running shes. Well, that idea is changing. 67．
This is nt a surprise t the Tarahumara Indians, wh live in nrthwest Mexic. The rugh terrain（地势） in their area makes it easier t travel n ft than by hrse r by car. Traditinally, the Tarahumara were hunters. They fllw their prey ver lng distances, smetimes, fr days, until the animals became exhausted. 68． They are knwn fr their endurance, running races f 50 miles r lnger. When Tarahumara athletes ra n in the marathn at the 1968 Olympics, they didn’t understand that the race was ver after nly 26.2 miles, s they kept running. “T shrt, t shrt,” they cmplained.
But here is the amazing part: Tarahumara runners dn’t wear running shes. Tarahumara shes are very simple. The sle （鞋底） is a piece f rubber held t the ft with hmemade belt. These rubber sles prtect against sharp bjects, but they dn’t prvide any supprt r cushining.
Hw is it pssible that sme f the best runners in the wrld dn’t wear running shes? Scientific studies are beginning t pint t smething the Tarahumara have knwn fr centuries: Human beings are built fr running bareft. In a recent study, researchers used a vide camera t examine hw athletes run when they are bareft. 69． When they d this, the arch（足弓） f ft absrbs the impact. Then that frce is redirected back up thrugh the leg.
70． Walk int a sprting gds stre tday and yu will find sectins that are devted t the shes using the simplest structure. With a thin sle and heel, they are designed t be the shes that feel like n shes. The increasing number f these shes n the market is evidence f this new trend. It is clear that she cmpanies and runners are beginning t accept the wisdm f Tarahumara—bareft may be the best.
