第二部分阅读理解专题十六事实细节passage 1(2013浙江，a)no one knows for sure when advertising first started.it is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them.that led to the concept of specialization，which means that people would specialize，or focus，on doing one specific job.lets take a man well call mr.fielder，for example.he did everything connected with farming.he planted seeds，tended the fields，and harvested and sold his crops.at the same time，he did many other jobs on the farm.however，he didnt make the bricks for his house，cut his trees into boards，make the plows(犁)，or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs.instead，he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.suppose there was another man we shall call mr.plowright.using what he knew about farming and working with iron，mr.plowright invented a plow that made farming easier.mr.plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows.perhaps，he thought，other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.how did mr.plowright let people know what he was doing？why，he advertised，of course.first he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers.that sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door.it was probably all the information people needed to find mr.plowright and his really good plows.many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago.even before most people could read，they understood such signs.shopkeepers would carve into stone，clay，or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.a medium，in advertising talk，is the way you communicate your message.you might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols.the second medium was audio，or sound，although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today.originally，just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument，such as a bell，were used to get peoples attention.a crier，in the historical sense，is not someone who weeps easily.it is someone，probably a man，with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city.in ancient egypt，shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products.often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods.perhaps the crier described the goods，explained where they came from，and praised their quality.his job was，in other words，not too different from a tv or radio commercial in todays world.1what probably led to the start of advertising?athe discovery of iron.bthe specialization of labor.cthe appearance of new jobs.dthe development of farming techniques.解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句和下文所举的两个例子可知：劳动的专业化导致广告业的开始。答案b2to advertise his plows，mr.plowright .apraised his plows in publicbplaced a sign outside the shopchung an

there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “bloom(开花) where you are planted.” it reminds me of dorothy.i got to know dorothy in the early 1980s, when i was teaching early childhood development through a program with union college in barbourville, kentucky.the job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program.dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.dorothy taught in a school in harlan county, kentucky, appalachian mountain area.to get to her school from the town of harlan, i followed a road winding around the mountain.in the eightmile journey, i crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times.rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, i found it depressing.the poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.from the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom(忧郁) disappeared.upon arriving at dorothys classroom，i was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen.the children had been prepared to show me their latest projects.dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch)in case you dont know, poke greens are a weedtype plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students.her enthusiasm never cooled down.when it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her child development associate certification, dorothy was ready.she came to the assessment and passed in all areas.afterward, she invited me to the oneandonly steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her ph.d.degree.after the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand.she said it was a family heirloom(传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.6“early childhood development” in paragraph 1 refers to .aa program directed by dorothyba course given by the authorcan activity held by the studentsdan organization

be a beautiful place.now it is an ecological disaster area.naurus heartbreaking story could have one good consequenceother countries might learn from its mistakes.for thousands of years，polynesian people lived on the remote island of nauru，far from western civilization，the first european to arrive was john fearn in 1798.he was the british captain of the hunter，a whaling ship.he called the island pleasant island.however，because it was very remote，nauru had little communication with europeans at first.then whaling ships and other traders began to visit，bringing guns and alcohol.these elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.a tenyear civil war started，which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.naurus real troubles began in 1899 when a british mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island.in fact，it found that the island of nauru was nearly all phosphate，which is a very important fertilizer for farming.the company began mining the phosphate.a phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground；it is a strip mine.when a company stripmines，it removes the top layer of soil.then it takes away the material it wants.stripmining totally destroys the land.gradually，the lovely island of nauru started to look like the moon.in 1968，nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.unfortunately，the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.in addition，they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.soon people realized that they had a terrible problemtheir phosphate was running out.ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.by 2000，nauru was almost financially ruined.experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.this will probably never happen.【语篇解读】本文属于节能环保类。作者通过讲述太平洋岛国nauru由过去的平静美丽到后来的由于盲目开发磷酸盐矿及政府滥用资金而造成的生态灾难，警示其他国家要引以为戒。11what might be the authors purpose in writing the text?ato seek help for naurus problems.bto give a warning to

pollutionbphosphate overminingcfarming activitydwhale hunting解析事实细节题。根据文章第五及第七段可知，磷酸盐矿是露天矿，开采时要去除表层土壤，取走想要的材料，完全破坏了土地，可爱的土地最终看起来像月球一样。90%的土地被破坏了，他们变得一无所有。答案b14which of the following was a cause of naurus financial problem?aits leaders misused the money.bit spent too much repairing the island.cits phosphate mining cost much money.dit lost millions of dollars in the civil war.解析事实细节题。根据文章第七段“unfortunately，the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.by 2000，nauru was almost financially ruined.”可知答案。答案a15what can we learn about nauru from the
