D四个选项中 选出最佳选项 A Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they re always coming in for getting criticism Their critics seem to resent 对 不满 them because they have a gift for self promotion and because they have so much money to throw around It s unjust they say that this entirely unproductive industry if we can call it that should absorb millions of pounds each year It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making Why don t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods After all it s the consumer who pays The poor old consumer He d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn t create mass markets for products It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods Another equally important function is to inform A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods comes largely from the advertisements we read Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance price etc from an advertisement Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements but this claim may be seriously doubted It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days And what fun they often are too Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws 内部规则 while waiting for a train Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper A cheerful witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration 定量 of disasters We must not forget either that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets Newspapers commercial radio and television companies could not subsist survive without this source of revenue The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price Another thing we mustn t forget is the small ads which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns For instance you can find a job buy or sell a house announce a birth marriage or death in what used to be called the hatch giving birth match and dispatch column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or agony column 读者来信专栏 No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature It s the best advertisement for advertising there is 41 What is main idea of this passage A Advertisement B The benefits of advertisement C Advertisers perform a useful service to communities D The costs of advertisement 42 The attitude of the author toward advertisers is A appreciative B trustworthy C critical D dissatisfactory 43 Why do the critics criticize advertisers A Because advertisers often brag 自夸 B Because critics think advertisement is a waste of money C Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary D Because customers pay more 44 Which of the following is Not True A Advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything B We can buy what we want C Good quality products don t need to be advertised D Advertisement makes our life colorful 45 The passage is A Narration 记叙文 B Description C Criticism D Argumentation B If you look for a book as a present for a child you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there is no new Harry Potter J K Rowling s wizard is not alone The past decade has been a harvest for good children s books which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings Yet despite that reading is increasingly unpopular among children According to statistics in 1997 23 said they didn t like reading at all In 2003 35 didn t And around 6 of the children leave primary school each year unable to read properly Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile Either way Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class In his pre budget report he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds who receive four months of individual daily half hour classes with a specially trained teacher An evaluation this year reported that children on the school made 20 months progress in just one year whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months progress and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well but read text often for fun than those elsewhere Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success According to the OECD being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage 46 Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1 A Many children s books have been adapted from films B Many high quality children s books have been published C The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films D The sales of presents for children have increased 47 Statistics suggested that A the number of top students increased with the use of computers B a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading C a minority of primary school children read properly D a huge percentage of children read regularly 48 What do we know about Reading Recovery A An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year B Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking C It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading D Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading 49 Reading for fun is important because book loving children A take greater advantage of the project B show the potential to enjoy a long life C are likely to succeed in their education D would make excellent future researchers 50 The aim of this text would probably be A to overcome primary school pupils reading difficulty B to encourage the publication of more children s books C to remind children of the importance of reading for fun D to introduce a way to improve early children reading C The iPhone the iPad each of Apple s products sounds cool and has become a fad 一时的风尚 Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter i and many other brands are following suit The BBC s iPlayer which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet adopted the title in 2008 A lovely bear popular in the US and UK that plays music and video is called iTeddy A slimmed down version of London s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name i In general single letter prefixes 前缀 have been popular since the 1990s when terms such as e mail and e commerce first came into use Most i products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent s i it s no surprise that they ve selected this fashionable name But it s hard to see what s so special about the letter i Why not use a b or c instead According to Tony Thorne head of the Language Center at King s College London i works because its meaning has become ambiguous When Apple uses i no one knows whether it means Internet information individual or interactive Thorne told BBC Magazines Even when Apple created the iPod it seems it didn t have one clear definition he says However thanks to Apple the term is now associated with portability 轻 便 adds Thorne Clearly the letter i also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual Each person believes they have their own needs and we love personalized products for this reason Along with Google and blog readers of BBC Magazines voted i as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade But as history shows people grow tired of fads From the 1900s to 1990s products with 2000 in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern However as we entered the new century the trend inevitably disappeared 51 People use iPlayer to A listen to music B make a call C watch TV programs online D read newspapers 52 We can infer that the Independent s i is aimed at A young readers B old readers C fashionable women D engineers 53 The underlined word ambiguous means A popular B uncertain C definite D unique 54 Nowadays the i term often reminds people of the products which are A portable B environmentally friendly C advanced D recyclable 55 The writer suggests that A i products are often of high quality B iTeddy is alive bear C the letter b replaces letter i to name the products D the popularity of i products may not last long D We called her the Lemon Lady because of the sour puss face she always presented to the public and because she grew the finest lemons we had ever seen on two huge trees in her front garden We often wondered why she looked so sour and how she grew such lemons but we could find out nothing about her She was an old lady at least 70 years of age at a guess perhaps more One day we answered an advertisement for a flat to rent as we had been asked to leave ours as soon as we could and when we went to the address given it was the house of the Lemon Lady She didn t unfreeze during the whole of our interview She said the flat would not be ready for occupation for about a month that she had 45 names on her list and might add more before she would select the people to suit her best She was just firm and austere and I gathered that we were not likely to be the ones selected As my husband and I were leaving I said How do you grow those wonderful lemons She gave a wintry smile which transformed her whole expression and made her look sweet and somehow pitiful I do grow nice lemons she replied We went on to tell her how much we had always admired them every time we had passed and she opened up and told us quite a lot about this fruit You know the general theory of pruning 修 剪 I suppose She asked Oh said my husband I understand about pruning fruit trees and roses but you must not prune lemons or so I understand He added these last words when he saw from the Lemon Lady s expression that he had said the wrong thing No said the Lemon Lady you must not prune lemons unless you want them to grow like mine What is the reason for pruning Well to cut off dead or diseased wood to prevent one branch chafing another to let the sunlight into the center of the bush and to promote the growth of the more virile buds Very nicely put said the Lemon Lady And why do you think that lemons are better with dead or diseased wood on them why should you not let sunlight into them why should allowing many sickly buds to develop make it a healthier tree I hadn t thought about it at all confessed my husband rather shamefacedly as he prides himself on being an original thinker and here he was allowing an old lady to out think him Everyone here said you mustn t prune lemons so I thought it must be right We thanked her for the information and left on much better terms with her than we would have ever thought possible We even felt quite a degree of affection towards her In the course of the next three weeks we saw several places that might have been to let but which for various reasons we could not get Eventually we got a place that suited us very well and I returned to tell the Lemon Lady that we would not be needing her flat She was very nice and gave me afternoon tea She said in her precise and careful style I m glad you have a house for the sake of your little boy because a flat is no place for a child especially a boy But for my own sake I m very sorry I had decided to let you have the flat because I think we could have got on very well together and because you liked my lemons As I left she handed me a bag with two huge lemons in it They were the most magnificent I have ever seen As I looked back from the gate and saw her sweet smile I wondered why we had called her the Lemon Lady As my husband said to me afterwards No one could do anything so well as she grew those lemons without being very proud of the accomplishment and our touching on them was a good point in psychology We have used that idea to good effect several times since then At the house we did rent was a dying old lemon tree My husband shook his head sadly as he gazed at it Too late for treatment I m afraid he said but he set to and pruned it ruthlessly We were in that house for four years and from the second year onward we each had the juice of a lemon every morning and when we left we took with us two 60 pound cases of lemons from the tree and after we left a friend wrote and asked why we hadn t picked the lemons before we left We still call her
