school students learn to drive and get part-time jobs soon after celebrating their sixteenth birthday. at the age of eighteen a person in the united states can vote and smoke, but they are prohibited

advertising does more than gives news about products and services. todays advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers(消费者) to buy certain brands(品牌) .writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade(说服) a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片), or see a movie . consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it. for example, you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. there are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. you may not have space on your shelf for another. but if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra -tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it. advertising must get attention. to be effective(有效), it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. the secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. the idea is what the ad is really selling. one example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. that cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy. ( )31. what is discussed in this passage? a. the content（内容） of modern advertising. b. the skills of modern advertising. c. the results of modern advertising. d. the writing of modern advertising.

a. customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements. b. customers should be persuaded by advertisements. c. its impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements. d. customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements. d“i didnt hear them call my name,” explained shelley hennig to active teens (at) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of miss teen usa 2004. “are you ready？”is what she heard. then she said，“i shook my head no，and then they said yes and it was announced again.”it was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen year old high school student from destrehan, louisiana. she was still on_cloud_nine.“i was so shocked! i never believed that it could actually really happen. ”present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，at asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). “shes always been my role model. ive danced with her since i was six. shes been through so many difficulties and came through them all. ive learned to get over bad lifes experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”one of those bad lifes experiences for shelley happened three years ago when her brother brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. he was 18. she found writing helped her get through the tough days. she said, “i write a lot about my brother. i write a lot, a lot，a lot.”as miss louisiana teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. in her role as miss teen usa, shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，in addition to many other things to help the youth.when at asked miss teen usa if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “dont let anyone change you. hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. that way，it is easy to be yourself.”( )34. what do the underlined words “on cloud nine” in paragraph 2 probably mean?a. frightened b. troubled c. very happy d. very angry( )35how many children did the hennigs have according to the text?a. 1. b. 2. c. 3. d. 4.( )36what did shelley often do after she became miss louisiana teen?a. she visited drunken drivers. b. she gave dance performances.c. she made speeches on safe driving. d. she helped other teens with their studies.( )37what suggestion does shelley give to the teens?a. be yourself with the support of friends. b. meet friends whenever possible.c. go easy on yourself and others. d. have a good role model.四、任务型阅读: 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容和表格，在空格内填入一个适当的单词，使意思完整.（共5分）have you had a headache during a test?
