Still, Clifford did manage to persuade Warner Brothers with promises that the production would improve on the film.The show mixes various forms of the performing arts including jazz, ballet and tap dancing.The producer also said the musical kept all of the films original music and added some speciallymade pieces for the onstage performance.But can Chinese people understand this American musical? Clifford thought the production would be a big hit because the emotions of the lead roles would be clearly expressed in their movements.36In which page of a newspaper are you likely to read this passage?AAdvertisement. BEntertainment.CMarket. DFashion.答案：B解析：推断题。整篇文章主要在介绍一部音乐剧卡萨布兰卡，读者最可能在报纸的娱乐版上看到该篇文章。故答案是B。37In what way is the musical Casablanca different from the movie?AThe emotions of the lead roles.BThe set of Ricks cafe.CThe music.DThe story.答案：C解析：细节题。从文章的倒数第二段可以看出，这部音乐剧其他地方都没变，只是增加了一些为台上表演而专门制作的乐曲。故答案是C。38Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word“hit”？Asuccess BproductionCbeat Dattack答案：A解析：词义题。通过最后一段与上下文的关系不难猜出它的意思，可能有些中国人不能理解这部美国音乐剧，但因为主角的情感通过他们的舞台动作而清楚地表现出来了，中国人仍然会喜欢它，所以Clifford认为该剧会是一个巨大的成功。故答案是A。BAlthough one might not think so from some of the criticism(批评)of it, advertising is important to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and a very considerable part of the world at large(总体上说), live. Advertising is necessary as a means of communicating with others, and of telling them about the goods and services that are provided, most of which would never get heard of at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising is extremely helpful to advance a rising standard of living.In talking about advertising, one should not think only in terms of a commercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or magazines. In its widest sense, advertising includes a host of other activities such as packaging, shop displays andin a sense of communicationeven the spoken words of the salesman. After all, the resources of advertising are to be found in the market place.For many years it was considered that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the manufacture of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time. In the competitive society in which we live, it is important that we go out and sell what we have, and advertising plays an important role in this way, whether selling at home or in export markets.About two percent of UK gross national product(GNP)is relied on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Certainly, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential(潜在的)consumers, but if the article when bought does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously very unlikely that the article will sell well.39According to the text, advertising is important to_.Aevery potential consumer in the worldBlarge countries in the worldCpeople with a high standard of livingDa large number of people in the world答案：D解析：细节题。从文章的第一句话可以知道，广告对于包括(大不列颠)联合王国在内的世界上相当大的地区的人们来说是重要的。40According to the passage, the simplest form of advertising is_.Ashop window displays and the wrapping of goodsBfacetoface contact between sellers and buyersCthe communicative abilities of a trained sales personDarticles in newspapers and magazines答案：B解析：推断题。从文章第二段最后一句the resources of advertising are to be found in the market place可以推断出，做广告的最基本和最简单的方式就是在市场买者与卖者之间直接地面对面地进行商品交易。故答案是B。41People have realized that resources are wasted if goods_.Aare not of lasting valueBare not sold at a high priceCremain unsold for a long timeDremain unsold in export markets答案：C解析：推断题。从第三段第二句话可以推断出，如果商品很长时间销售不出去，那么资源就浪费了。故答案是C。42The text makes a point that goods will sell well if_.Aadvertisements show the true value of themBenough money is spent on advertisingCadvertisements are well designedDthey are of high quality答案：A解析：推断题。由文章最后三行说的if the article when bought not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously very unlikely that the article will sell well，可知如果广告不是虚假广告，而是与商品的价值相符，这样的商品才能得到消费者的青睐。选项D(商品质量高)干扰性极强，但是文章侧重的是match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will，即商品要达到广告中说的标准，两者要相符。故答案是A。43The best title of this passage would be_.AA brief History of AdvertisingBProduction and AdvertisingCLimitations of AdvertisingDBenefits of Advertising答案：D解析：主旨题。文章主要论述做广告的好处，所以答案选D。CScience cant explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread allaround good cheer.Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in peoplehalf of them pet ownerswhile they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松) around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on dietandexercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didnt lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overallmostly with their dogsand found it worth doing.44What does the text mainly discuss?AWhat pets bring to their owners.BHow pets help people calm down.CPeoples opinions of keeping pets.DPets value in medical research.答案：A解析：语篇解读题。根据文章首段可知，文章主要介绍了养宠物给人们带来的益处。45We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if _.Ahe has a pet companionBhe has less stress of workChe often does mental arithmeticDhe is taken care of by his family答案：A解析：推理判断题。根据“but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack.”可知。46According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?AThey have lower blood pressure.BThey become more patient.CThey are less nervous.DThey are in higher spirits.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据“It seems people feel more released around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.”可知由宠物相陪，人们更加放松，面对充满压力的任务表现更加突出亦在情理之中了。47The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that _.Apeople with dogs did more exerciseBdogs lost the same weight as people didCdogs liked exercise much more than people didDpeople without dogs found the program unhelpful答案：A解析：细节理解题。由文章的最后一句可知。DCertain people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if youve known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, theyll help you put_people_at_their_ease,_and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers have asked questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One wellknown businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common question, but it will get things going.” “From there you can move on to other matterssometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen for the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen, carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones (语调，语气) of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If youre saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “Ive really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as
