As descendants of hunter-gatherers, both men and women have the tendency to accumulate things. However, how they go about it has much to do with whether they are male or female. Paco Underhill, author of Why We Buy, conducted a decades-long study of shoppers, observing their browsing and purchasing patterns. Among other things, Underhill found out that when it comes to shopping, men hunt, and women gather. Simply put, men shop using the skills developed to obtain meat in a hunter-gatherer environment. Underhill’s research found that while most women read price tags on items before taking them home, only a handful of men do the same as they make purchases. For natural hunters like men, ignoring price tags and going straight for the kill is a measure of their masculinity. Besides, hunters have to be capable of using skills aimed at getting the kill back to the family before it spoils. Women, on the other hand, generally enjoy shopping. Unless accompanied by their male partners, women would browse much longer, closely examining the items they desire. Gatherers need to be able to assess if a fruit or vegetable is ripe, which may explain why women are more sensitive to smells and textures and variations in reds, pinks, and yellows than men. This also explains why stores place piles of appealing textured clothes at their entrances—they are meant to draw shoppers into the stores, where further temptation awaits. 41. This passage is mainly about . (A) gender differences in information search strategies (B) the role of gender in consumer behavior (C) gender differences in moral values (D) the impact of gender preferences on fashion trends 42. According to the passage, Paco Underhill . (A) did a decades-long study on online shopping (B) conducted a study on consumer’s bargaining methods (C) attempted to shed light on consumers’ shopping patterns (D) wrote a book about effective marketing strategies 43. We learn from the passage that stores place beautiful clothes at their entrances mainly to (A) attract female customers (B) appeal to trendy teenagers (C) impress male shoppers (D) satisfy senior citizens 44. We may infer from the passage that when accompanied by their male partners, women would (A) shift from a gatherer mode to a hunter mode of purchasing pattern (B) leave the decision about what to buy entirely up to their male partners (C) buy more than what they originally put on their shopping lists (D) wrap up their shopping more quickly than they do when they shop alone. .. .. 45. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true? (A) In his book Why We Buy, Paco Underhill pointed out that when it comes to shopping, women hunt, and men gather. (B) Most male shoppers were found by Paco Underhill to ignore price tags as they purchased. (C) Men and women accumulate things in patterns that differ greatly from those of their prehistoric ancestors. (D) Compared with males, females tend to buy fewer things because they spend most of their time evaluating their decisions. 第 6 頁. 共7頁.

(7) 101-4 共同考科. 英文. ▲閱讀下文，回答第 46-50 題。 Nothing would be known of Lobo the wolf were it not for the writings of the man ultimately responsible for his death in 1894. Ernest Thompson Seton, a skilled hunter, willingly took up the job to kill a pack of wolves that had been taking livestock in the Currumpaw Valley, New Mexico. Seton was tempted by the challenge and the alleged $1,000 reward for capturing Lobo, the male leader of the wolf group, and he expected the job to last just two weeks. However, Seton had not foreseen the cunning and determination of Lobo, who kept away from poisoned baits and sprung hundreds of traps without being caught. It was months before Seton finally succeeded in catching Lobo by luring him with the dead body of his mate, Blanca. Touched by Lobo’s bravery and loyalty to his mate, however, Seton couldn’t bring himself to finish off this magnificent creature. Therefore, he captured Lobo alive, with a view to taming this wolf king. Nevertheless, Lobo died that same night—from a broken heart, wrote Seton, who never killed another wolf after Lobo’s death. Seton decided to devote the rest of his life to convincing his nation, which had been built on conquering wilderness, to save what was left. “Lobo the King of Currumpaw,” in which Seton cast himself as the wicked guy, became the best-known tale in his 1898 book Wild Animals I Have Known. It struck a chord with many Americans, and led to the establishment of new national parks and environmental laws. 46. According to the passage, what motivated Seton to hunt down Lobo? (A) The importance of the mission and the search for a new topic in his new novel. (B) The challenge of the task itself and the prospect of a cash reward. (C) A deep hatred for wolves and a strong desire to restore peace and order. (D) A hunger for wealth and an ambition to establish a national park. 47. According to the passage, it took longer than Seton had expected to finally capture Lobo because Seton . (A) had to abide by the environmental laws laid down by the local government (B) had to work all by himself because his partner had been killed by Lobo (C) fell ill because he couldn’t adapt to the weather in the Currumpaw Valley (D) had not expected that Lobo was such an astonishingly intelligent adversary 48. We may infer from the passage that looking back on what he had done in the Currumpaw Valley, Seton felt . (A) a sense of guilty over Lobo’s death (B) deceived and fooled by the locals (C) a sense of pride in his achievement (D) regretful about moving to New Mexico 49. According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? (A) Lobo was a wolf living in the Currumpaw Valley in New Mexico. (B) Lobo was good at escaping traps and eluding poisoned meat. (C) Lobo had remained faithful to his mate until his dying day. (D) Lobo the King of Currumpaw is a book published in 1898. 50. Which of the followings is the best title for this passage? (A) Wild Animals that You Should Get to Know (B) A Male Wolf that Led His Group to Freedom (C) The Story of a Legendary Wolf (D) Seton the Wicked Hunter. 共7頁. 第 7 頁.
