Media Selection for Advertisements

After determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home. Internet, and direct mail.

Television

Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication.But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.

Television's influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance.

is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smaller and more homogeneous(具有共同特点的) than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.

Newspaper?

After television, the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenue is newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually, ii m increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40% and is now available for home delivery in ion ciues. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium.

Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer. more detailed message to their audience than they can through 48 hours,meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the massage out.Newspapers are ofen the most important form of news for a local community, and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local reader.

Radio

Advertising on radio continues to grow Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor bill-boards (广告牌) and ihe Internet to reach even more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television, which means advertisers can afford to repeal their ads often. Internet companies are also turning 10 radio advertising. Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day.Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work, at work, on the way home, and in the evening hours.

Two major changes―satellite and Internet radio―will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods. Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the

local stations they could receive in the past. As a result, radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart.

Magazines

Newsweeklies, women’s titles, and business magazines have all seen increases in advertising because they attract the high-end market, magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver. A broadcast medium such as network television attracts all types of audience members, but magazine audiences are more homogeneous, if you read sports illustrated, for example, you have much in common with the magazine’s other readers. Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members.

Advertiser using the print media-magazines and newspapers-will need to adapt to two main changes. First, the internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers, these second. Advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences, a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.

Out-of-home advertising

Out-of-home advertising. Also called place-based advertising, has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers, who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television. Using billboards, newsstands, and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these on-the-go consumers. More consumers travel longer distances to and from work, which also makes out-of-home advertising effective, technology has changed the nature of the billboard business, making it a more effective medium than in the past.

Using digital printing, billboard companies can print a billboard in 2 hours, compared with 6 days previously. This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they.

Can change their messages more quickly.

Internet

As consumers become more comfortable with online shopping, advertisers will seek to reach this market As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet, the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease. The challenge to Internet advertisers Is to create ads that audience members remember.

Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations' advertising in the near ftuture. Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous, but small. Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the online medium as well.

Direct mail

A final advertising medium is direct mail, which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client's message Direct mail includes newsletters. postcards and special promotions. Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumers.For many businesses.direct mail is the most effective from of advertising.

1. Television is an attractive advertising medium in that_____________.

A) it has large audiences

C) it helps build up a company's reputation

D) it is affordable to most advertisers

Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good Life

[A] Is it possible to enjoy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged by threats and uncertainties from wars, terrorism, economic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases? The answer is yes, according to a new book The 10 Golden Rules: Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good Life. The book is co-authored by Long Island University's philosophy professor Michael Soupios and economics professor Panos Mourdoukoutas.

[B] The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless, says Soupios. The philosophy professor says it is as relevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago. “There is no expiration(失效)date on wisdom,” he says “There is no shelf life on intelligence. I think that things have become very gloomy these day, lots of misunderstanding, misleading cues, a lot of what the ancients would have called sophistry(诡辩). The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today.”

Examine your life

[C] Soupies, along with his co-author Panos Mourdoukoutas, developed their 10 golden rules by turning to the men behind that philosophy-Aristotle, Socrates, Epictetus and Pythagoras, among others. The first rule-examine your life-is the common thread that runs through the entire book. Soupios says that it is based on Plato's observation that the unexamined life is not worth living. “The Greek are always concerned about boxing themselves in, in terms of convictions(信念),” he says. “So take a step back, switch off the automatic pilot and actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities, our values, and our relationships.”

Stop worrying about what you can not control

[D] As we begin to examine our life, Soupios says, we come to Rule No.2: Worry only about things that you can control. “The individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher His name is Epictetus, ”he says.“ And what the Stoics say in general is simply this. There is a larger plan in life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimerisions of this plan. You are not going to be able to control the dimensions of this plan.”

[E]So, Soupios explains, it is not worth it to waste our physical, intellectual and spiritual energy worrying about things that are beyond our control. “I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu, for example.” He says. “I mean, there are some cautious steps. I can take, but ultimately I can not guarantee myself that. So what Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong and wasterful and irrational. You should live your life attempting to identify and control those things which you can genuinely control.”

Seek true pleasure

[F]To have a meaningful, happy life we need friends. But according to Aristotle-a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great-most relationships don't qualify as true friendships. “Just because I have a business relationship with an individual and I can profit from that relationship, it does not necessarily mean that this person is my friend.” Soupios says. “Real friendship is when two individuals share the same soul. It is a beautiful and uncharacteristically poctic image that Aristotle offers.”

[G]In our pursuit of the good life, he says, it is important to seek out true pleasures-advice which was originally offered by Epicurus. But unlike the modern definition of Epicureanism as a life of indulgence(放纵)and luxury, for the ancient Greeks, it meant finding a state of calm, peace and mental case.

[H]“This was the highest and most desirable form of pleasure and happiness for the ancient Epicureans.” Soupios says. “This is something that is very much well worth considering here in the modern era. I do not think that we spend nearly enough time trying to concentrate on achieving a sort of calmness, a sort of contentment in mental and spiritual, which was identified by these people as the gighest form of happiness and pleasure.”

Do good to others

[I]Other golden rules counsel us to master ourselves, to avoid excess and not to be a prosperous(发迹的)fool. There are also rules dealing with interpersonal relationships. Be a responsible human being and do not do evil things to others.

[J]“This is Hesiod, of course, a younger contemporary poet, we believe, with Homer,” Soupios says. “Hesiod offers an idea-which you very often find in some of the word's great religions, in the Judeo-Christian tradition and in Islam an others-that in some sense, when you hurt another human being, you hurt yourself. That damaging other people in your community and in your life, trashing relationships, results in a kind of self-inflicted(自己招致的)spiritual wound.”

[K]Instead, Soupios says,ancient wisdom urges us to do good. Golden Rule No.10 for a good life is that kindness toward others tends to be rewarded.

[L]“This is Aesop, the fabulist(寓言家), the man of these charming little tales, often told in terms of animals and animal relationships.” He says. “I think what Aesop was suggesting is that when you offer a good turn to another human being. One can hope that that good deed will come back and sort of pay a profit to you, the doer of the good deed. Even if there is no concrete benefit paid in response to you good deed. At the very least, the doer of the good deed has the opportunity to enjoy a kind of spiritually enlightened moment.”

[M]Soupios say following the 10 Golden Rules based on ancient wisdom can guide us to the path of the good life where we stop living as onlookers and become engaged and happier human beings. And that, he notes, is a life worth living.

36.According to an ancient Greek philosopher, it is impossible for us to understand every aspect of our life.

37.Ancient Philosophers saw life in a different light from people of today.

38.Not all your business partners are your soul mates.

49.We can live a peaceful life despite the various challenges of the modern world.

40.The doer of a good deed can feel spiritually rewarded even when they gain no concrete benefits.

41.How to achieve meatal calmness and contentment is well worth our consideration today.

42.Michael Soupios suggests that we should stop and think carefully about our priorities in life.

43.Ancient philosophers strongly advise that we do good.

44.The wise teachings of ancient Greek thinkers are timeless, and are applicable to contemporary life.

45.Do harm to others and you do harm to yourself.

篇6：6月大学英语四级考试真题卷二

Section C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices

marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the

corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-educated well-off and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individuals and society, are profound.

The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people. And they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity (长寿) translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.

But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的美国人) are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce.

Policy is partly responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Rising life expectancy(预期寿命), combined with the replacement of generous defined-benefit pension plans with less generous defined-contribution ones, means that even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding generation. Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that complement computers, from management knowhow to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.

Passage Two

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

Some of the world’s most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from agriculture. Food riots and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world’s major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.

The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soyabeans(大豆). They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and s.

There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world’s most populous(人口多的)countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.

Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soyabeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”

The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.

Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughed up for crops might be able to revert(回返)to forest or wilderness.This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.

61. What does the author try to draw attention to?

A) Food riots and hunger in the world.

B) News headlines in the leading media.

C) The decline of the grain yield growth.

D) The food supply in populous countries.

62. Why does the author mention India and China in particular?

A) Their self-sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.

B) Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.

C) Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.

D) Their food self-sufficiency has been taken for granted.

63. What does the new study by the two universities say about recent crop improvement efforts?

A) They fail to produce the same remarkable results as before the 1980s.

B) They contribute a lot to the improvement of human food production.

C) They play a major role in guaranteeing the food security of the world.

D) They focus more on the increase of animal feed than human food grains.

64. What does the Food and Agriculture Organisation say about world food production in the

coming decades?

A) The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies.

B) The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution.

C) The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed.

D) The world will be able to feed its population without increasing farmland.

65. How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organisation?

A) It is built on the findings of a new study.

B) It is based on a doubtful assumption.

C) It is backed by strong evidence.

D) It is open to further discussion.

partiii reading comprehension

(35 minutes)

directions: there are 4 passages in this part. each

passage is followed by some

questions or unfinished statements. for each of them

there are four choices marked a), b), c) and d). you

should decide on the best choice and mark the

corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single

line through the centre.

passage one

questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:

long after the world cup was won, disappointed

fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判)

decisions that denied victory to their team. a

researcher was appointed to study the performance of

some top referees.

the researcher organized an experimental tournament

(锦标赛) involving four youth teams. each match lasted an

hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during

which different referees were in charge.

observers noted down the referees' errors, of which

there were 61 over the tournament. converted to a

standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost

23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.

the researcher then studied the videotapes to

analyse the matches in detail. surprisingly, he found

that errors were more likely when the referees were

close to the incident. when the officials got it right,

they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action.

the average distance in the case of errors was 12

meters.the research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is

about 20 meters.

there also seemed to be an optimum speed. correct

decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed

of about 2 meters per second. the average speed for

errors was 4 meters per second.

if fifa, football's international ruling body, wants

to improve the standard of refereeing at the next world

cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on

the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep

up with the ball,the researcher argues.

he also says that fifa's insistence that referees

should retire at age 45 may be misguided. if keeping up

with the action is not so important, their physical

condition is less critical.

51. the experiment conducted by the researcher was meant

to _______.

a) review the decisions of referees at the 1998

world cup

b) analyse the causes of errors made by football

referees

c) set a standard for football refereeing

52. the number of refereeing errors in the experimental

matches was _______.

a) slightly above average b) higher than in the

1998 world cup

c) quite unexpected d) as high as in a

standard match

53. the findings of the experiment show that _______.

a) errors are more likely when a referee keeps close

to the ball

b) the farther the referee is from the incident, the

fewer the errors

c) the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely

will errors occur

d) errors are less likely when a referee stays in

one spot

54. the word “officials” (line 2, para. 4) most probably

refers to _______.

a) the researchers involved in the experiment

b) the inspectors of the football tournament

c) the referees of the football tournament[page]

d) the observers at the site of the experiment

55. what is one of the possible conclusions of the

experiment?

a) the ideal retirement age for an experienced

football referee is 45.

b) age should not be the chief consideration in

choosing a football referee.

c) a football referee should be as young and

energetic as possible.

d)an experienced football referee can do well even

when in poor physical condition.

passage two

questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:

while still in its early stages, welfare reform has

already been judged a great success in many states ?a at

least in getting people off welfare. it's estimated that

more than 2 million people have left the rolls since

1994.

in the past four years, welfare rolls in athens

county have been eut in half. but 70 percent of the

people who left in the past two years took jobs that

paid less than $6 an hour. the result: the athens county

poverty rate still remains at more than 30

percent--twice the national average.

for advocates (代言人)for the poor, that's an

indication much more needs to be done.

“more people are getting jobs, but it's not making

their lives any better,” says kathy lairn，a policy

analyst at the center on budget and policy pricorities

in washington.

a center analysis of us census data nationwide found

that between 1995 and ,

a greater percentage of single, femalea2headed

households were earning money on their own, but that

average income for these households actually went down.

but for many, the fact that poor people are able to

support themselves almost as

well without government aid as they did with it is in

itself a huge victory.

“welfare was a poison. it was a toxin (毒素) that was

poisoning the family,” says robert rector, a

welfarea2reform policy analyst. “the reform is changing

the moral climate in lowa2income communities. it's

beginning to rebuild the work ethic (道德观)，which is much

more important.”

mr. rector and others argued that once “the habit of

dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other

policy changes aimed at improving living standards.

56. from the passage, it can be seen that the author

_______.

a) believes the reform has reduced the government's

burden

b) insists that welfare reform is doing little good

for the poor

c) is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare

reform

d) considers welfare reform to be fundamentally

successful

57. why aren't people enjoying better lives when they

have jobs?

a) because many families are divorced.

b) because government aid is now rare.

c) because their wages are low.

d) because the cost of living is rising.

58. what is worth noting from the example of athens

county is that _______.

a) greater efforts should be made to improve

people's living standards

b) 70 percent of the people there have been employed

for two years

c) 50 percent of the population no longer relies on

welfare

d) the living standards of most people are going

down

59. from the passage we know that welfare reform aims at

_______.

a) saving welfare funds

b) rebuilding the work ethic

c) providing more jobs

d) cutting government expenses

60. according to the passage, before the welfare reform

was carried out, _______.

a) the poverty rate was lower

b) average living standards were higher

c) the average worker was paid higher wages

d) the poor used to rely on government aid

passage three

questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:

americans are proud of their variety and

individuality, yet they love and respect few things more

than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator

operator or the uniform of a five-star general. why are

uniforms so popular in the united states?

among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first

is that in the eyes of most people they look more

professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. people have be

come conditioned to expect superior quality from a man

who wears a uniform. the television repairman who wears

a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who

appears in civilian clothes. faith in the skill of a [page]

garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. what easier

way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a

waiter to lose professional identity(身份) than to step

out of uniform?

uniforms also have many practical benefits. they

save on other clothes. they save on laundry bills. they

are tax-deductible(可减税的). they are often more

comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.

primary among the arguments against uniforms is

their lack of variety and the consequent loss of

individuality experienced by people who must wear them.

though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of

any particular type is generally stuck with it, without

change, until retirement. when people look alike, they

tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at

least.

uniforms also give rise to some practical problems.

though they are long-lasting, often their initial

expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes.

some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring

professional dry cleaning rather than the home

laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

61. it is surprising that americans who worship variety

and individuality _______.

a) still judge a man by his clothes

passage four

question 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:

since we are social beings, the quality of our lives

depends in large measure on our interpersonal

relationships. one strength of the human condition is

our tendency to give and receive support from one

another under stressful circumstances. social support

consists of the exchange of resources among people based

on their interpersonal ties.

those of us with strong support systems appear

betterable to cope with major life

changes and daily hassles(困难). people with strong social

ties live longer and have better health than those

withou such ties.studies over a range of illnesses, from

depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of

social support helps people fend off(挡开) illness, and

the absence of such support makes poor health more

likely.

social support cushions stress in a number of ways.

first, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us

know that they value us. our self-respect is streng

thened when we feel accepted by others despite our

faults and difficulties. second, other people often

provide us with informational support. they help us to

define and understand our problems and find solutions to

them. third, we typically find social companionship

supportive. engaging in leisure-time activities with

others helps us to meet our social needs while at the

same time distracting(转移...注意力)us from our worries and

troubles. finally, other people may give us instrumental

support ?a financial aid, material resources, and needed

services -- that reduces stress by helping us resolve

and cope with our problems.

66. interpersonal relationships are important because

_______.

a) they are indispensable to people's social

weel-being

b) they waken people's desire to exchange resources

c) they help people to cope with life in the

disease, etc.

health _______.

a) relies on the social welfare systems which

support them

b) has much to do with the amount of support they

get from others

c) depends on their ability to deal with daily

worries and troubles

d)is closely related to their strength for coping

with major changes in their lives

68. which of the following is closest in meaning to the

word“cushions”(line 1, para.2)?

a) adds up to. b) does away with.

c) lessens the effect of. d) lays the

foundation for.

69. helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an

there are three groups of english learners;

beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of

special english. beginners need to learn the basics of

english. students who have reached an intermediate level

benefit from learning general english skills. but what

about students who want to lean specialist english for

their work or professional life? most students, who fit

into this third group have a clear idea about what they

want to lean. a bank clerk, for example, wants to u se

this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of

finance. but for teachers, deciding how to teach

specialist english is not always so easy. for a start,

the variety is enormous. every field from airline pilots

to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical

terms. teachers also need to have an up-to-date

knowledge of the that specialist language, and not many

teachers are exposed to working environments outside the

classroom. these issues have influenced the way

specialist english is taught in schools. this type of

course is usually known as english for specific

purposes, or esp and there isn't esp courses for almost

every area of professional and working life. in britain,

for example, there are courses which teach english for

doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents and people

working in the hotel industry. by far, the most popular

esp courses are for business english.

english?

passage two

the first step to stop drug abuse is knowing why

people start to use drugs. the reasons people abuse

drugs are as different as people are from one to

another. but there seems to be one common thread: people

seem to take drugs to changes the way they feel. they

want to feel better or feel happy or to feel nothing.

sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. people

often feel better about themselves when they are under

the influence of drugs. but the effects don't last long.

drugs don't solve problems. they just postpone them. no

matter how far drug s may take you, it's always around

trip. after a while, people who miss drugs ma y feel

worse about themselves, and they they may use more

drugs. if someone you know is using or abusing drugs,

you can help. the most important part you can pl ay is

to be there. you can let your friends know that you

care. you can listen a nd try to solve the problem [page]

behind your friend's need to use drugs. two people

together can often solve a problem that seems too big

for one person alone. studies of heavy abusers in the

united states show that they felt unloved and unwanted.

they didn't have close friends to talk to. when you or

your friends take the time to care for each other,

you're all helping to stop drugs abuse. after all, what

is a friend for?

15. why do some people abuse drugs?

16. according to the passage, what is the best way to

stop friends from abusing drugs?

17. what are the findings of the studies about heavy

drug users?

passage three

bows and arrows, are one of man's oldest weapons.

they gave early man an effective weapon to kill his

enemies. the ordinary bow or short bow as used by nearly

all early people. this bow had limited power and short

range. however, man overcame these faults by learning to

track his targets at a close range. the long how was

most likely discovered when someone found out that a

five-foot piece of wood made a better bow than a

three-food piece. hundreds of thousands of these bows

were made and used for three hundred years. however, not

one is known to survive today. we believe that a force

of about one hundred pounds was needed to pull the

string all the way back on a long bow. for a long time

the bow was just a bent stick and string. in fact, more

changes have taken place in a bow in the past 25 years

than in the last 7 centuries. today, bow is forceful. it

is as exact as a gun. in addition, it requires little

strength to draw the string. modern bows also have

precise aiming devices. in indoor contest, perfect

scores from 40 yards are common. the invention of the

bows itself ranks with discovery of fire and the wheel.

it was a great-step-forward for man.

18. why did man have no track his target at a close

range when using a short bow ?

19. what does the passage tell us about long bow?

20. what do we know about modern bows?

passage twoquestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes(运动员). stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.the early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. the sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. the outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. in today’s youth sport setting. young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.

16. an effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is . a)to reduce their mental stress c)to make sports less competitive b)to increase their sense of success d)to make sports more challenging

17. according to the passage sport is positive for young people in that .

18. many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes _ .

a) believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentb) without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidencec) in order to make them remember life’s lessonsd) so as to put more pressure on them

19. according to the passage parents and coaches should .

a) pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsb) help children to win every gamec) train children to cope with stressd) enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports

20. the author’s purpose in writing the passage is .

a) to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutb) to persuade young children not to worry about criticismc) to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to childrend) to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragementpassage

threequestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

humanity uses a little less than half the water available worldwide. yet occurrences of shortages and droughts (干旱) are causing famine and distress in some areas, and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting water supplies. since the world’s population is expected to double in the next 50 years, many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis.but that doesn’t have to be the outcome. water shortages do not have to trouble the world—if we start valuing water more than we have in the past. just as we began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective. we can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want.instead, for all uses except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value. this means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs.governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways. for example, often the cheapest way to provide irrigation(灌溉)water in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions(凹地) and pumping it to nearby cropland.no matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate water policy.[page]

21. what is the real cause of the patential water crisis.

a) only harf of the world’s warter can be used.b) the world population is inereasing faster and faster.c) half of the world’s water resources have been seriously polluted.d) humanity has not placed officient value on water resources.

22. as indicated in the passage, the water problem .

a) is already serious in certain parts of the world.b) has been exaggerated by some experts in the fieldc) poses a challenge to the technology of building reservoirsd) is underestimated by government organizations at different levels

23. according to the author, the water price should .

a) be reduced to the minimumb) stimulate domestic demandc) correspond to its real valued) take into account the occurrences of droughts

24. the author says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to .

a) build big lakes to store waterb) construct big pumping stationsc) build small and cheap irrigation systemsd) channel water from nearby rivers to cropland

25. in order to raise the efficiency of the water supply, measures should be taken to .a) guarantee full protection of the environmentb) centralize the management of water resourcesc) increase the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levelsd) encourage local and regional of water resources

passage fourquestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

we can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. when it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular”coffee and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). at one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). after a while people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). sales went into a slight decline （衰退）when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).the importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. the goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. one strategy is called market modification. it means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military?market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. a marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections.another product extension strategy is called product modification. it involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. american auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets. note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.

26. according to the passage, when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product, its sales will .

a)decrease gradually c)improve enormously b)become unstable d)remain at the same level

27. the first paragraph tells us that a new product is .

a) usually introduced to satisfy different tastesb) often more expensive than old onesc) often inferior to old ones at firstd) not easily accepted by the public

28. marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to .

a)work out marketing policies c)promote its production b)increase its popularity d)speed up its life cycle

29. the author mentions the example of “backpacks”(line 4, para.2 ) to show the importance of .

a)increasing usage among students c)pleasing the young as well as the old b)exploring new market sections d)serving both military and civil needs30. in order to recover their share of the world market, u.s. auto makers are . a)improving product quality c)re-positioning their product in the market b)modernizing product style d)increasing product features[page]
