• 2．We all need waler to survive，but the general recommendation has been to drink more and more，with many guidelines now advising a minimum of eight glasses a day.Is there any evidence showing that this makes sense？The short answer is no.Studies looking at water intakes over 10 years in the elderly fail to show any benefits of extra water on kidney function or lifespan.
     Clever marketing from bottled water companies has not only convinced us that we need to drink more water，but also that expensive bottled mineral water is somehow better for us.We now drink more bottled water than ever before，with the global industry growing rapidly at 10 percent a year.By 2025，the global market is estimated to be worth ＄215 billion.But research shows that tap water nowadays is perfectly safe，and with added fluoride （氨化物），it is also good for our teeth.There have been studies showing that tap water contains traces of common pharmaceutical（制藥的）drugs，but they have also found the same levels when testing bottled water.Although water in many areas contains chemicals，the levels are too small to make a noticeable difference to our health.
     Bottled water has devastating environmental costs，which is self-evident as there are already abundant reports on pollution caused by plastic bottles，and no proven health benefits.And，does it taste better？Probably not.On the contrary，there are even blind tastings showing that tap water scores higher than most mineral water.
     So，still hesitate when presented with both bottled water and tap water？Probably you should not now.My advice is to stick with tap water：you will be reducing the global environmental cost of half a trillion plastic bottles piling up each year and taking a stand against the power of marketing.
  
  （1）According to the first paragraph，we can know

  .
  A．eight glasses of water a day does harm to the elderly
  B．eight glasses of water a day isn't so scientific as we thought
  C．water is essential for us to survive
  D．drinking extra water benefits our kidney
  （2）According to the author，which of the following might be a reason behind people's choosing bottled water over tap water？

  
  A．Tap water contains too much common pharmaceutical drugs.
  B．Bottled water is rich in various minerals.
  C．People are influenced by bottled water companies' marketing strategies.
  D．Tap water is not so tasty as bottled water.
  （3）What does the underlined word "devastating" in paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Potential.
  B．Beneficial.
  C．Challenging.
  D．Damaging.
  （4）What message does this passage convey？

  
  A．The more water we drink，the healthier we will be.
  B．Tap water should become our first choice of drinking.
  C．Both bottled water and tap water should be our main choices when thirsty.

• 3．When ads for the Netflix show Stranger Things first appeared in 2016，the shinning，colorful font（字體）that spelled out the title told viewers exactly what they could expect.Hollywood has long known this marketing trick.And in a crowded marketplace，many mainstream consumer brands have placed more focus on fonts as a crucial part of their marketing.
     When Southwest Airlines upgraded its brand in 2014，it changed its font and logo as part of the project.
     The company wanted to create the image of an airline that cared about customer loyalty.So，Southwest changed its Helvetica font to a thicker，custom-made Southwest Sans font，which also added a tricolor（三色的）heart to the logo.All these changes were meant to convey a softer，friendlier tone.
     A survey of Southwest customers showed that 95 percent found the new identity appealing. ^"We've definitely seen an increase in bookings." said Helen Limpitlaw at Southwest Airlines. "We're in a very competitive world and we're trying to avoid that sameness."
     The right fonts can help brands stand out in a competitive market.However，they need to know whom they are targeting and what they want to say.Monster Beverage is a good example.In 2002，it rolled out its Monster Energy drink logo，featuring three neon-green claw marks in the shape of an "M" on a black background.The eye-catching logo and colors connected with fans of sports，who were exactly its target customers.Now，17 years later，Monster's logo remains valuable and recognizable.
     It is not always wise of legacy companies（老牌公司）to make changes in fonts and logo.When the clothing retailer Gap changed its iconic spire-like font to Helvetica as part of a 2010 rebrand，customers pushed back hard. "The new logo lost all the personality the original mark had acquired over the years，" said Matt See，senior art director at a branding and communications firm. "And it was released without explanation.It felt like no thought was put into it." The company ultimately switched back to its original logo.
     Experts recommended that companies conduct plenty of surveys before making a change to their logos.Done right，fonts allow brands to show their human side and personality，which can then connect with consumers emotionally.
  
  （1）The function of Para 1 is

  .
  A．to introduce the topic
  B．to promote the Netflix show
  C．to show the background
  D．to present the unevenly shaded font
  （2）According to the article，one of the reasons why Southwest Airlines upgraded its brand successfully is
  that

  .
  A．it deleted its tricolor heart logo
  B．it conveyed a strong and cooperative tone
  C．it drew on its experience gained from the real life
  D．it chose a special font that reflected its personality as a brand
  （3）Gap was cited as an example in the article to show that

  .
  A．a(chǎn) company should think twice before rebranding itself
  B．there is no need for a legacy company to upgrade its brand
  C．a(chǎn) company should ignore customers' advice when it comes to rebranding
  D．it's possible for a company to attract new customers by changing its logo
  （4）What is the best title of the passage？

  
  A．Fonts should avoid the sameness
  B．Fonts matter in upgrading the brand
  C．Changes of fonts are out of date
  D．Companies need to change fonts
