2、es to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective.

3、 Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement.There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the

4、 western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement.We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of

5、production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of adve

6、rtisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support.

7、nvinced of its value to them.1. Advertisement is often used to _.A. deceive customersB. increase productionC. arouse suspicionD. push the sale答案：D 細節(jié)題。答案在第一段第一句話：“Advertisement can be thought of as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services”。因此“廣告常常被用來當作促銷商品的手段?！盌最符合題意。2. Th

8、e word“media”(in the first paragraph)includes _.A. the pressB. televisionC. radioD. all of the above答案：D 細節(jié)題。media ：媒體。因為在其后的句子中作者緊接著列舉了press，magazines，the cinema and commercial radio，television，exhibitions等詞。因此可以斷定media應當包括the press，television，and radio。所以D是正確答案。3. Advertisement is mainly paid for

9、by _.A. the customerB. the producerC. increased salesD. reduced prices答案：A 細節(jié)題。答案在第三段：“it is clear that it is customer who pays for advertisement.”因此廣告的費用主要是由顧客來付。4. Advertisement can increase demand _.A. all the timeB. in any circumstancesC. in a growing marketD. in a shrinking market答案：C 細節(jié)題。答案在第四

10、段：“When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand.”因此，如果市場擴大了，廣告有助于增加需求。5.

11、uld hardly convince people of the value of the goodsD. advertisement usually cost businesses large amounts of money答案：B 邏輯推理題。文章最后一句話的意思是：“很明顯，如果商家對產(chǎn)品的利潤沒有把握的話，是不會花很多錢投資廣告的?！睋Q句話說：商家非常清楚廣告會給他帶來更大的利潤。因此B是正確答案。Passage 2How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of lang

12、uage is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent

13、 those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their combinations the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more ce

14、rtain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts, but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and f

15、eelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our wo

16、rds carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.6. The origin of language _.A. is reflected in sounds and lettersB. is handed down from generation to generationC. dates back to the prehistoric periodD. is a problem not yet solved答案：D 細節(jié)題。答案在第一段：“the origin of langu

17、age is a mystery.”因此，語言的起源仍然是個迷，還沒有得到解決。7. According to the passage, words are _.A. visual letters B. represented by soundsC. represented either by sounds or letters D. signs called letters答案：C 細節(jié)題。第一段談到：“人類起初用某種聲音進行交流， 后來又有了字母，字母結(jié)合起來可以代表聲音，也可以寫下來。因此，這些說出來的聲音也好，用字母寫出來的聲音也好，被稱為單詞?！彼訠是正確答案：單詞即可以代表聲音，

18、也可以代表字母。8. The power of words lies in their _.A. beautyB. accuracyC. combinationsD. charm答案：C細節(jié)題。答案在第二段的第一句話：“the power of words, then lies in their combination”語言的魅力在于他們的組合。9.

19、ed in a creative wayC. are as beautiful as musicD. agree with certain literary style答案：A 細節(jié)題。在第三段的第一句話：“Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerful to our minds and feelings.”因此作家的偉大在于他們擅長使用豐富的詞匯，能使我們回想起過去的喜怒哀樂。B-D文章均沒提到10.

20、The author of the passage advises us _.A. to use words carefully and accuratelyB. not to use silly and rude wordsC. to become a slave of words D. to use emotional words答案：A細節(jié)題。答案在文章的最后一句：“We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech si

21、lly and rude.”因此，文章建議我們用詞要謹慎、準確。Passage 3Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you ca

22、n provide. Specialists advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog.But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one th

23、at has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely.

26、e?A. You can always get help from the specialists.B. It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C. You should decide what kind of dog you want.D. Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.答案：B細節(jié)題。文章中提到了買狗的時候先要決定買什么樣的，狗的大小、特征也要考慮，而且專家的建議也非常重要，所以A，C，D都是正確的。關于

27、“common sense”，是這樣說的：“In part the decision depends on common sense.”所以選擇狗的時候，common sense 并不是最重要的，而是部分因素。因此只有B不符合原文。12. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?A. The color of the dog.B. The price of the dog.C. Whether the dog will fit the environment.D. Whether the dog will get along w

28、ith the other pets in the house.答案：C細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容，買狗的時候并沒有提到要考慮狗的顏色、狗的價格，以及狗能否和家中的其他寵物很好的相處。但是提到了要考慮狗能否適應周圍的環(huán)境?！皐hether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide.”13. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A. It must be trained so that it wont bite.B.

29、It demands more food and space.C. It needs more love and care.D. It must be looked after carefully.答案：C細節(jié)題。demanding：要求高的，費力的。作者認為狗是比貓費心的寵物，因為貓喜歡我們的房子，只要住的地方安全，它就會非常的滿足。而狗則不同，你必需在它很小的時候花很多的精力去訓練它，如果你不住在農(nóng)村，沒有機會讓狗自由活動的話，你還必須給它這樣的機會。而且你最好在三個月以前就買回來，這樣有利于和主人培養(yǎng)感情?？梢姽肥嵌嗝吹馁M心。14.

Its easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.答案：D細節(jié)題。文章的最后：“If baby dogs have not established a relations

31、hip with the human being until they are over three month old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs.”所以要買三個月以下的狗，容易和它的主人建立感情。15. The word “affection” (line 11) means _.A. loveB. effectC. tieD. relationship答案：A 詞匯題。affection：喜愛，慈愛。Passage 4Movies are the most popular form of entertainmen

34、e things often appear to be more romantic(浪漫的)and beautiful than in real life.The biggest “dream factories” are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry.

36、vies mainly because they want _.A. to enjoy a good story B. to experience an exciting lifeC. to see the actors and actresses D. to escape their daily life答案：D細節(jié)題。文章第一段的第二句話說：“They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own.”后面又談到“

37、But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape.”所以美國人去看電影的重要原因是逃避現(xiàn)實生活。A,B,C 只是原因之一，而不是主要原因。17. Which of the following is peoples normal response to the movies they watch?A. They feel that everything on the screen is familiar to them.B. They try to turn their dreams into reality.C. They

38、 become so involved that they forget their own problems.D. They are touched by the life stories of the stories of the actors and actresses.答案：C細節(jié)題。文章第一段談到：“坐在電影院里，看著屏幕上的畫面，人們進入了另一個世界。兩個小時之中，他們沉醉在電影的世界里，忘記了自己的煩惱。”因此人們對電影的反應是，如此的沉醉其中忘記了自己的煩惱。18. It is obvious that real life is _.A. less romantic than

39、that in the movies B. more romantic than that in the moviesC. as romantic as that in the movies D. filled with romantic stories答案：A細節(jié)題。第一段的最后一句話：“They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic and beautiful than in real life.”說明電影中的生活比現(xiàn)實生活浪漫。19.

41、ll stories and they are well-made.”因此A是正確答案。20. People enjoy seeing the movies because they _.A. are tired of their everyday livesB. feel inspired by the heroic deeds of the good guysC. want to see who win in the endD. have to cope with many problems in their lives答案：B推理題。文章的最后說：“電影中有許多的英雄人物，他們做了許多普

42、通人想做但又做不到的事情。而現(xiàn)實生活中我們必須處理許多問題，面對許多麻煩，因此當人們看到電影中的英雄獲勝的時候，會受到鼓舞。”所以人們喜歡看電影是因為他們會受到影片中人物的英雄事跡的鼓舞。A應當是人們看電影的原因之一，而不是enjoy seeing he movies。C，D都不符合文章的內(nèi)容。Part Vocabulary and Structure21.
