B
Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A. Choice of Good Products
B. Disadvantages of Products
C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping
D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks

C

本文首先指出购物并不简单，每次购物时都有各种技巧在起作用，接着以产品的颜色、尺寸以及公司在产品包装上花费大量成本为例，说明了包装对购物的影响。A选项“优质产品的选择”，文章重点并非讲如何选择优质产品，而是包装对购物的影响，所以A选项不符合。B选项“产品的缺点”，文中未围绕产品缺点展开，主要说的是包装方面，B选项不正确。C选项“包装对购物的影响”，符合文章主旨内容。D选项“品牌名称和购物技巧”，品牌名称不是文章重点阐述的内容，重点是包装，D选项不合适。

() 1.The place interested me most was the Children’s Palace.

A.which
B.where
C.what
D.in which

A

本题考查定语从句的关系词，先行词是“the place”，在定语从句中作主语，指物，关系词用which或者that，选项中只有which。where和in which在定语从句中作地点状语；what不引导定语从句。

() 2.Do you know the man ?

A.whom I spoke
B.to who spoke
C.I spoke to
D.that I spoke

C

本题考查定语从句或省略关系代词的用法，原句可以看成"Do you know the man （whom/who/that） I spoke to？" ，关系代词在从句中作spoke to的宾语时可省略，spoke to sb表示和某人说话，to不可少，A选项spoke后缺少to，B选项中who前应用to ，且who一般不用作介词宾态，D选项同样spoke后缺少to，所以选C ，I spoke to 作定语从句修饰the man ，关系代词省略。

() 3.This is the hotel last month.

A.which they stayed
B.at that they stayed
C.where they stayed at
D.where they stayed

D

本题考查定语从句的关系词。先行词“the hotel”在从句中作地点状语，要用关系副词“where”引导定语从句，且从句“they stayed”结构完整，不需要加介词“at”或关系代词“which/that” 。A选项“which they stayed”缺少介词“in”；B选项“at that they stayed”表达错误，“that”前不能加“at”；C选项“where they stayed at”多加了“at”。所以正确答案是D。
