Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Most people would probably agree that many individual consumer adverts function on th

28、e level of the daydream. By picturing quite unusually happy and glamorous people whose success in either career or sexual terms, or both, is obvious, adverts construct an imaginary world in which the reader is able to make come true those desires which remain unsatisfied in his or her everyday life.

29、 An advert for a science fiction magazine is unusually explicit about this. In addition to the primary use value of the magazine, the reader is promised access to a wonderful universe through the product-access to other mysterious and tantalizing worlds and epochs, the realms of the imagination. Whe

30、n studying advertising, it is therefore unreasonable to expect readers to decipher adverts as factual statements about reality. Most adverts are just too meager in informative content and too rich in emotional suggestive detail to be read literally. If people read them literally, they would soon be

31、forced to realize their error when the glamorous promises held out by the adverts didnt materialize. The average consumer is not surprised that his purchase of the commodity does not redeem the promise of the advertisement, for this is what he is used to in life: The individuals pursuit of happiness

32、 and success is usually in vain. But the fantasy is his to keep; in his dream world he enjoys a “future endlessly deferred“ . The Estivalia advert company is quite explicit about the fact that advertising shows us not reality, but a fantasy; it does so by openly admitting the daydream but in a way w

33、hich insists on the existence of a bridge linking daydream to realityEstivalia, which is “for daydream believers“, those who refuse to give up trying to make the hazy ideal of natural beauty and harmony come true. If adverts function on the daydream level, it clearly becomes inadequate to merely con

34、demn advertising for channeling readers attention and desires towards unrealistic, paradisiacal (天堂似的 ) nowhere land. Advertising certainly does that, but in order for people to find it relevant, the Utopia(乌托邦 )visualized in adverts must be linked to our surrounding reality by a causal connection.

35、31 The people in adverts are in most cases_. （ A） glamorous （ B） arrogant （ C） obvious （ D） sexy 32 When the glamorous promises held out by the adverts didnt materialize the average consumer is not surprised, because_. （ A） the consumer is used to the fact that the individuals pursuit of happiness a

36、nd success is usually in vain （ B） adverts are factual statements about reality （ C） the consumer can come into the realms of imagination pictured by adverts （ D） adverts can make the consumers dream come true 33 Whats the bridge linking daydream to reality in adverts? （ A） The product. （ B） Estival

37、ia. （ C） Pictures. （ D） Happy and glamorous people. 34 Why does the consumer accept the daydream in adverts? （ A） Because the consumer enjoys a “future endlessly deferred“ . （ B） Because the consumer enjoys up trying to make his dream come true. （ C） Because the Utopia is visualized in adverts. （ D）

38、 Because his purchase of the commodity does not redeem the promise of the advertisement. 35 What is this passage mainly concerned with? （ A） Many adverts can be read literally. （ B） Everyone has a daydream. （ C） Many adverts function on the level of the daydream. （ D） Many adverts are deceitful beca

39、use they can not make their promises. 35 Henry Morris, an English professor, asks his college English classes to count “loan words“ . These are words we use that were taken directly from other languages. He jokes about the term “loan words“ . “It is not like were going to give these words back after

40、 weve done with them. “ he says. “Imported words“ might be a better term. Simple sentences may contain 15 percent or less of these. Complex sentences may be 50 percent or more “imports“. Scientific papers might use mostly loan words. “We use imports constantly,“ Morris says, “generally without any i

41、dea we are using them. “ Was there ever a time when people spoke just plain English? No. Scholars estimate that one-third of the worlds languages are of Indo-European origin.

42、live, English as we know it didnt exist. English is relatively young. Its roots go back 1,500 years, to Britain. People there spoke Celtic. Then came Anglo-Saxon invaders. These conquerors spoke a language closely related to older forms of Dutch. Morris says Dutch words like “woord“, “gras“ and “man

43、“ became the English equivalents “word“, “grass“ and “man“ . Anglo-Saxon “Anglish“ became “English“ . But our story does not end there. English continued to grow and change. When Norman French invaded Britain in 1066, the English vocabulary got an enormous boost. Scholars say that nearly half of all

44、 English words are French in their origin. Words like art, orange, taxi, train and surprise are a few examples. When English colonists came to America in the 1700s, they encountered native Americans and their languages. Words like wigwam, teepee, chipmunk, possum and tomahawk settled into the coloni

45、sts vocabulary. Centuries later, in the early 1900s, immigrants streamed to Americas shores. Italians taught US to say broccoli, macaroni, opera and studio. Spanish speakers added mosquito, mustang, tortilla and alligator. Bagel, kosher and pastrami came from those who spoke Yiddish. And yam, gorill
