commercials Some people say that advertising has a bad influence or effect Says writer Noreen Janus Advertisers use mainly a few themes again and again happiness youth success status luxury fashion and beauty They hide class differences and problems in the workplace Many ads suggest that you can solve all human problems by buying things They suggest that modern things are good and traditional things are bad As one ad professional said Once the TV set goes to work the family is like a kid in a candy store They watch 450 commercials a week They see all the beautiful things And they want everything that they see However not everyone thinks that advertising is a bad thing Some people say advertising sometimes gives us useful information about different products for example the advantages of buying one product instead of another Also shopping sometimes makes us feel good When people see a famous person on TV talking about a certain kind of shoes or jacket they like how they feel when they buy the same shoes or jacket According to Writer Judith Williamson The meaning in most people s lives comes from what they use than from what they produce in their jobs Clothes

objects well enough to navigate the New York City subway system independently It s been a long time in coming Jerry s road to partial sight began in 1978 when doctors in New York s Dobelle Institute implanted 68 electrodes 电极 on the surface of a region of Jerry s brain called the visual cortex where signals from the eyes are processed By electrically stimulating the area doctors hoped that they could restore some of Jerry s vision But when Jerry tried to focus on objects he saw only flickers of light appearing like stars called phosphenes Normally the rain does not interpret the phosphene patterns as identifiable objects That s where the computer comes in Jerry s first electronics package was 精品文档 7欢迎下载 the size of a small refrigerator Today Jerry s sunglasses are outfitted with a tiny view camera that captures images that are processed by a portable computer The computer weighs 10 pounds and is no bigger than a dictionary When Jerry scans an object he sees a pattern of phosphenes Computer algorithms 算法系统 enlarge the edges of the pattern so that it appears as an outline The computer then signals a second microcomputer that controls stimulation electronics to send information about the object s location to Jerry s brain Other scientists are studying implants in the retina the light sensing tissue at the back of the eye A major benefit of the Dobelle system is that it can help the estimated 1 1million Americans whose blindness has many causes not just damage to the retina The system does have its limitations however It only covers an area about 2 inches wide by 8 inches tall viewed at arm s length giving Jerry tunnel vision To overcome this problem the commercial version of the system which will be marketed abroad by the end of this year will feature 512

for the device can capture images 精品文档 8欢迎下载 30 This passage is most probably taken from A a doctor s prescription B a science magazine C a daily newspaper D an advertisement PassagePassage 4 4 Children learn orthography the rules of spelling through teaching and also by themselves through reading The relative influence of these two kinds of learning is an important issue in the study of reading but it is hard to determine because children have both types of experience with most rules Here we show that children can learn a sophisticated orthographic rule for themselves without the help of teaching In two experiments we asked eight and nine year old children 102 children in the first experiment and 90 in the second to write pseudo verbs the made up verbs which either had the same or different stems in the present and past tense If children knew the stem based rule they should put ed endings on the past tense of pseudo verbs that have the same stem as in the present tense more often than on those that do not The experiments show that many eight and nine year old children use a morphemically based but entirely untaught orthographic rule The discovery has important implications for theories of spelling The dominant theoretical approach to the study of spelling has been the dual route model which claims that people spell words either by converting sounds into letters or through a lexical route in which spellings of known words are retrieved whole from memory The idea of whole word retrieval has been criticized on the basis that the lexical route involves analysis of words into morphemes 词素 Our data support this morphemic view and indicate that morphemic structure has a radical 精品文档 9欢迎下载 effect on the way that children spell known and unknown words 31 The author believes that A children learn the rules of spelling mainly through teaching B it is difficult to decide whether children learn orthography mainly through teaching or through reading C with the help of teaching children will learn orthography better D children can learn the rule for verb endings in a short time 32 The word sophisticated paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to A complicatedB simple C falseD true 33 From this passage it can be inferred that school children A have no difficulty in learning the rules of spelling B can only spell simple words correctly C have the ability to spell unknown words D cannot convert sounds into letters 34 The writer of this passage conducted two experiments in order to A prove that children can learn difficult orthographic rule themselves B prove that children can write English through teaching C show the importance of spelling for children D show the importance of teaching children to read 35 The significance of the discovery lies in that A many eight and nine year old children use a morphemically based rule B it proves that people spell words by converting sounds into letters C it proves that people spell words through a lexical route D it provides evidence against the idea of whole word retrieval PartPart IIIIII VocabularyVocabulary andand StructureStructure Directions Directions There are 30 incomplete sentences in this
