Recently, I read about a promotion from a home builder in San Diego where consumers (消费者) could buy a 4,000 square foot house for $1.6 million and get a smaller home bythe developer valued at $400 thousand for free. This sounds like a fantastic deal, but I am alwayswary ofany promotion labeled (给……加标签) with“buy one get one free”, and here is why.

Oftentimes, “buy one get one free” ends up being “buy two at the regularprice”. For example, I often see “buy one get one free” ads for orange juice at the supermarket, but the first box always costs over $5.00. At the same time, the juices not in the promotion are selling for $2.50 to $2.99 a box.

Another problem with “buy one get one free” is that oftentimes you do not need the second item. I only consume one gallon of milk every two weeks. If I were talked into buying a second gallon in a “buy one get one free” promotion, then the second gallon would go bad before I have time to consume it. That creates waste instead of savings.

In the case of theSan Diegodeveloper, so far they have received one offer on their expensive houses, but the buyer does not want the cheaper house for free. Instead, he wants the value of the smaller home taken away from his purchase price. I think this guy is quite wise because he saw right through the marketing of “buy one get one free”.

Finally, it is up to you to see how much you need and how much you are willing to spend. Knowing the regular price of things also helps you in deciding whether a “buy one get one free” promotion is truly a great deal. 4. What does the underlined part “wary of” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. annoyed at B. careful about C. familiar with D. puzzled about 5. Why does the author mention milk in Paragraph 3? A. To show that there are many promotions of food. B.To suggest that people think twice before they shop.

C. To prove that the second item isn’t always as good as the first one.

D. To show that people often buy more than they need in the promotion. 6. What does the house buyer want to do? A. Buy the smaller house only. B. Get the smaller house for free. C. Buy the larger house for $1.2 million.

D. Buy both the larger and smaller houses for $2 million. 7. How does the author organize the text?(P: Paragraph)

A. B. C. D.

C

The COVID-19 vaccination（接种疫苗）rate in the US has fallen to newlows in recent weeks, threatening President Joe Biden’s goal of having 70 percent of American adults with at least one shot by July 4.

With just less than one month from July 4, the current vaccination rate will put the US at somewhere between 67 percent and 68 percent of the adult population with at least one dose（剂量）by Independence Day. To reach 70 percent by July 4, around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now until July 4.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）reported last week that 63 percent of adults hadreceived their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week before. The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking the vaccination rate in mid-February.

On average, fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day, a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak of 3.4 million in April, The Washington Post reported. In South Carolina, about 71,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3, compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April, according to data from the CDC.

The slowdown is moreprominentacross the South and Midwest. Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to 15 daily shots per 10,000 residents. Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot as of June 7.

James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College, told Politico, “We need to make a stronger effort to bring the vaccine to the communities, rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”

The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting（凝血）reactions.

The “low-hanging fruit—thosepeople who ly want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything” have already been vaccinated, which has led to the slowdown, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week, according to the Post.

8. What can we learn from the text?

A. Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. B. In South Carolina, about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3 C. In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine. D. Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in Para. 5?

A. Meaningful. B. Obvious. C. Inspiring. D. Complex. 10. How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth? A. By giving the vaccine shot at the communities. B. By offering the vaccine to the public for free. C. By frequently informing the public of the vaccine. D. By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers. 11. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Biden wishes to have 70% of adults with one shot by July 4 B. CDC has been trackingthe vaccination rate since mid-February C. Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them to D. Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal may be missed

D
