s only sold hamburgers and French fries It was built in 1953 in Downey California and is now the oldest Golden Arches in America McDonald s says the building should be torn down since it was damaged in an earthquake In addition it was losing money there There was no room for drive thru window or for indoor seating After the earthquake they say it wasn t possible to fix it They want to build a copy of this building at another location instead The citizens in Downey are trying to save the small building because it carries many of their good memories They re angry that the building is in danger and that their memories are as well They think McDonald s is using the earthquake as an excuse to avoid making efforts to restore the restaurant Historians say it has become a cultural symbol and stands for the history of McDonald s which was invented by the McDonald brothers rather than Ray Kroc who later bought the restaurant but is now considered its founder Many people think tearing down the building reflects McDonald s attempt to rewrite history Now a group of historians wants the building to be put on the National Register of Historic Places so that the city of Downey will be

which is also found in 第 页 共 11 页 6 garlic is planted in the soil near a young tree The tree s roots absorb the selenium which is then carried to the leaves From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethy selenide 乙烷硒化物 the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic As deer wander around looking for food they smell the seedlings leaves and leave the plants alone The selenium is important Why Because each year deer eat millions of dollars worth of trees farm seedlings So far selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir 枞树 seedlings but researchers think they

Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880 only about one third of the originally forested area remained down to the mere 1 percent of the state s 77 000 square miles With wood and coal out of the question and with fuel needed year round for cooking and during the harsh winter months for heating some solution had to be found Somewhat improbably the buffalo provided the answer Buffalo chips 干粪块 were found to burn evenly hotly and cleanly with little smoke and interestingly no door Soon collecting them became a way of life for the settlers children who would pick them up on their way to and from school or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance Even a young man seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry would arrive with a large bags of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers 41 What is the main topic of

advertisers It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers waves to us from every page of the newspaper signals to us from the roadside bill boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night Advertising has been among England s biggest growth industries since the war Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer At the stage of designing and developing a product there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it The designer is busy enough without adding customer appeal to all his other problems of man hours and machine tolerances and stress factors So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it by pretending that it confers status or attracts love or signifies manliness Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product And manufacturers hate change The ideal product is one which goes on unchanged for ever If therefore for one reason or another some alteration seems called for how much better to change the image the packet or the pitch made by the product rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself 46 The author appears modern advertising A to like B to be indifferent to C to dislike 第 页 共 11 页 9 D to know how to deal with 47 According to the passage advertising saves the manufacturers from A thinking about the customer B changing their products C improving their

manufacturers would prefer to change of their product instead of the product itself A the production cost B the quality C the market value D the image 50 The best title for the passage might be A Advertising since the War B Advertising and Manufacturers C Advertising England s Biggest Industry D Advertising and Purchasers III III ClozeCloze 10 10 points points Directions Directions ThereThere
