19、、D）中,選出最佳選項.AAdvertising is as old as story-telling itself. For as long as people have wanted to persuade others to buy their goods, give them their vote or lay down their lives, they have used the methods of advertising. Of course, methods have changed over the years. At first, word of mouth was th

20、e only means of communicating, but after the invention of the first printing press and the arrival of the first newspaper, the camera, the television, and the home video recorder, the persuasive methods of the advertising industry have become much more sophisticated.Advertising appeals more to our e

21、motions than to our minds and therefore uses persuasive techniques which, though not misleading, are certainly biased towards its products. Advertisements have some basic features.They are fast and short. They deliver their message in minimum time and space.They are concentrated. Their language and

22、images are extremely dense.They appeal to consumers emotions rather than to their logic.They entertain. That entertainment may be in the form of a jazzy melody or a photograph or a clever joke, but it always draws attention to itself because advertisements have to compete against every other competi

23、tor for consumers attention.46.In the past, people used methods of advertising when they wanted others to .Abuy their products and lay downBvote for them and give up their livesCsupport them and lie downDbuy their products and give them tickets47.How can advertisements attract people?ABy showing rea

24、sonable prices of the products.BBy showing fabulous pictures of the products.CBy reminding people to think before deciding to buy the products.DBy persuading people in the form of music, pictures and so on.48.The writer implied in the passage that .Aadvertisers only present good points of their prod

25、uctsBadvertisers try to cheat consumersCadvertisers are not sure about their productsDadvertisers are competing with each other.49.“Itself” in the last sentence of the passage refers to .AphotographBentertainmentCjokeDjazzy melodyBWhen dinning in restaurants, Americans usually order drinks first, th

26、en soup, salad, main course or entree(主菜), and dessert at last. This is somewhat a different order way from that in Europe.Until about the middle of the nineteenth century, Americans didnt have to worry about whether the salad came before or after the main course since they didnt eat salad at all. C

27、homping(大聲地咀嚼) on greens was once considered sissy(女人氣的), and Americans preferred to get their greens indirectly, after they had been processed by rabbits or deer. The shift of public taste toward the salad may be attributed to New Yorks Delmonico brothers, who originally introduced smorgasbord from

28、 Europe, and served it in their restaurant. Such novelties(新奇的東西) became so popular that by the end of the nineteenth century, the Waldorf salad has swept the country.Europeans still chomp on greens after the main course, as a way of clearing the palate(味覺), and being ready for the cheese. Why Ameri

29、cans eat their salad first is uncertain. The following joking suggestions might make sense: The custom may be related to the slimming craze, for “salad first” may fill you up without any worry about fattening; to avoid customers impatience with waiting, the restaurant serves salad first to keep them

30、 busy while the main courses are being prepared; eating raw food while one is waiting for the cooked food may be a way of announcing that one is not wasting time, which is seen as a virtue; probably unfair to the restaurant, this custom has been encouraged by the merchant as trick-the meagerness(不足量

31、) of a meal is less noticeable if it comes after “free” salad-after all, rabbit food is much cheaper than the rabbit.50.Before the middle of the nineteenth century, _ . A. Americans ate the salad before the main course B. Americans ate the salad after the main course C. Americans ate the salad eithe

32、r before or after the main course D. Americans didnt eat salad at all51.In the last sentence of the passage, “rabbit food” refers to_ . A. the saladB. food made of rabbit meat C. junk food D. food prepared for the rabbit52.Which of the following statements is true? A. Salad first appeared in America

33、, and then was introduce to Europe.B. The American tradition of eating salad before the main course was formed mainly due to health. C. In less than fifty years, salad became popular throughout the United States. D. Serving Salad before the entree by the restaurants is a way of cheating the diners.C

34、Americans genius with high technology may have put men on the moon, but there is growing doubt about its ability to solve human problems closer to home.In fact, a slight but significant change from purely technological solutions is already under way as scientists insist that answers to the worlds pr

35、oblems will not come from an attractive exhibition of electronics and machines. Instead, as they see it, solutions must develop from a better understanding of the humans that drive the system and from a fuller appreciation of the limits and potential(潛能) of the earths resources.What this means is an

36、 increased emphasis on the life and earth sciences, on sociology, psychology, economics and even philosophy.More and more of the best minds in science, particularly young researchers, are being drawn into these developing fields.All this is not to say that technological creativity will not play a cr

37、itical role in solving energy and food shortages, or that answers to environmental difficulties will not come from further advances in the same technologies that may have helped cause the problems.Where the real challenge lies, in the view of the new generation of scientists, is in finding ways to p

41、ew ways to solve the worlds problems.DTechnological creativity will still play a very important part in solving the worlds problems.55.Young scientists demand that in order to satisfy human needs _.Aexisting products be improvedBmore complex machines and electronic equipment be designedCways be foun
