　　Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that ?repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.

　　Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, " I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I dont know which half." Now, all parts of an advertising programme are properly measured and researched.

　　What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years.. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Todays advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the readers attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humour is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.

　　1. The purpose of advertising is ____.

　　A. to increase product sales

　　B. to make a product much better

　　C. to spend more money

　　D. to reduce the production

　　2. Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined phrase "hand in hand&qu

　　Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same root "port", which comes from the Latin word, meaning"to carryor"to move"from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning- which we call the prefix(~S~) -the meaning changes: "import" means "to...... carry in” or "to bring into a country”; export , "ex" means "out of" , so this word means "to carry out of a country"; "re" means "back”, so the word "report” means "to tell somebody to bring back information to somebody"; "transport", "trans" means "across" and it means " to carry across one place to another".

　　Lets look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix(后辍) ,thus meaning a person who completes the verb. So supporter means somebody who supports. A reporter is somebody who reports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on.

　　1. In the sentence "Some English words are made up of the same part…", "part" means _______.

　　A. different beginnings and different endings

　　B. the root of a word

　　C. the same root which has different meanings

　　D. the same part which has several meanings

　　2. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

　　After we meet people it is up to us to make them our friends. Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend. The major qualities like faithfulness, devotion, friendly company, flash through our minds. But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up ones whole character, such as cheerfulness, friendliness, and punctuality. After all, "to make a friend, be a friend" is not such a big and difficult order. There are particular favorable qualities, which attract others to us, and some elements which do have an effect on people in fundamental psychology or not.

　　If you are in the presence of a shy person, talking and asking casual (随意的) questions may bring him out of his shell. Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person, for you to talk, or to listen. Either way the goal is to make yourself pleasant.

　　Always remember to listen, but listen intelligently. To have anyone "hang on our words" is the most unnoticeably clever way in the world to please somebody. For a few extremely happy seconds we are the center of attraction, but when it is our turn to be audience, let us remember how we felt as the actor, and lets be genuinely (真正地) interested in what the other fellow is saying.

　　Other people will like us, if we like them. If you want friends, keep your mind and heart open to friendship. Be alive to the other persons world.

　　1. This passage is mainly about ___.

　　A. the ways of talking to a shy person

　　B. some favorable qualities to be a psychologist

　　C. how to make yourself attractive to your listeners

　　D. how to make a friend and be a friend

　　Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growth－but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.

　　Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.

　　Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (通俗电视连续剧) and installment (分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s. both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering, the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil’s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.

　　“Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values － not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working,” says Martine. “They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package.”

　　Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers (消费者). “This led to an enormous change in consumption (消耗、消费) patterns and consumption was incompatible (不相容的) with unlimited reproduction.” Says Martine.

　　1. According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth ____.

　　A. by educating its citizens B. by careful family planning

　　C. by developing TV programmes D. by chance

　　2. According to the passage, many Third World countries ______.

　　A. haven’t attacked much importance to birth control

　　B. would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rate

　　C. haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their population

　　D. neglected the role of TV plays in family planning

　　3. Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because ____.

　　A. they keep people sitting long hours watching TV

　　B. they have gradually changed people’s way of life

　　C. people are drawn to their attractive package

　　D. they popularize birth control measures

　　4. What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?

　　A. The increase in birth rate will increase consumption.

　　B. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.

　　C. Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory (互相矛盾的)

　　D. A country’s production is limited by its population growth.

　　There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.

　　Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.

　　But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.

　　At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.

　　A. build glass-houses in his free time

　　B. grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cup

　　C. win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color

　　D. grow a rose with the longest name

　　2. Boys were often tempted to ______.

　　A. throw stones at Mr. Flowers’ glass-house

　　B. throw stones at Mr. Flowers from their school

　　C. be in or near by Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses

　　D. play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses

　　3. Mr. Flowers stayed in or near by his glass-houses ______.

　　A. at times when school-boys were walking near them

　　B. all the school day when there were no boys about

　　C. where he could not be seen by the boys passing

　　D. in his free time at the beginning and end of the school day

　　4. Mr. Flowers had tried to ______ to protect his glass.

　　A. be on watch in his free time

　　B. ask the headmaster for help

　　C. pick up all the stones around his garden

　　D. do all the above

　　5. Mr. Flowers’ good idea was to ______.

　　C. give the boys something else to throw stones at

　　D. send for policemen
