17、ves can have both negative and positive effects.Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.For example, some advertisers have appealed to peoples desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve g

18、asoline mileage.Some of the products work.Others are worthless and a waste of consumers money. Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters with the message that there were fewer calories in every slice.It turned out that the bread was not

19、 dietetic (适合于节食的 ), but just regular bread.There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf. On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumers real concerns.Consider fire insurance.Fire insurance may be sold by appe

20、aling to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance.The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people.If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message i

21、n the ads,they will benefit from the advertising. Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation.Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it?

25、will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves.Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them.It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading.Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop

26、 trying to do the impossible.“ Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes.They differ in kind and function.The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read.

27、Teaching is also a public activity:It can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language.Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher a

28、nd learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索 ) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions.“Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful,enjoyable and frequent experience

29、 for children.“ When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated.Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children a

30、re given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading. 24 The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that （ A） it is one of the most difficult school courses （ B） students spend endless hours in reading （ C） reading tasks are assigned with littl

31、e guidance （ D） too much time is spent in teaching about reading 25 The teaching of reading will be successful if_. （ A） teachers can improve conditions at school for the students （ B） teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading （ C） teachers can devise the most efficient system

32、 for reading （ D） teachers can make their teaching activities observable 26 The word “scrutiny“ (Line 3, Para.3) most probably means “_“. （ A） inquiry （ B） observation （ C） control （ D） suspicion 27 According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when （ A） children beco

33、me highly motivated （ B） teacher and learner roles are interchangeable （ C） teaching helps children in the search for knowledge （ D） reading enriches childrens experience 28 The main idea of the passage is that_. （ A） teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read （ B） te

34、achers should encourage students to read as widely as possible （ C） reading ability is something acquired rather than taught （ D） reading is more complicated than generally believed 28 The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的 ) roof around a church; a drive through a narrow villag

35、e street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings these are still common sights in parts of England.Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countr

36、yside. Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles (英伦诸岛 ).Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches,too. Thatching is a solitary (独自的 ) craft, which often runs in families.The craft of

37、 thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old rods as well as thatching newer houses.Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but became they

38、know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter. In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways.People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings

39、.However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months.Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defence against the heat. 29 Whi

40、ch of the following remains a unique feature of the English countryside? （ A） Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses. （ B） Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings. （ C） Cottages with thatched roofs. （ D） Churches with cottages around them. 30 What do we know about thatching as a craft? （ A）

41、 It is a collective activity. （ B） It is practiced on farms all over England. （ C） It is quite different from what it used to be. （ D） It is in most cases handed down among family members. 31 Thatched houses are still preferred because of_. （ A） their style and comfort （ B） their durability （ C） the

42、ir easy maintenance （ D） their cheap and ready-made materials 32 People in developing countries also live under thatch because_. （ A） thatched cottages are a big tourist attraction （ B） thatched roof houses are the cheapest （ C） thatch is an effective defense against the heat （ D） they like thatched

44、atched cottages in England are located on hillsides 34 In the third sentence of the third paragraph, the word “employed“ means_. （ A） utilized （ B） raised （ C） hired （ D） executed 34 The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire.It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dr

45、amatic rise in drug abuse worldwide.“The most worrisome development is a culture of drug-friendliness that seems to be gaining prominence (显著 ),“ said the UNs 13-member International Narcotics Control Board in a report released in late February 1998. The 74-page study says that pop music, as a globa

46、l industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures.“Some lyrics advocate the smoking of marijuana (大麻 ) or taking other drugs, and certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable

47、part of a persons lifestyle,“ the study says. Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose (过量用药） .“Such incidents tend to be seen as an occasion to mourn the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to con

48、front the deadly effect of irecreational drug use,“ it notes.Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singers and movie stars including Elvis Presley, Janice Joplin, John Be-lushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses.With the g

49、lobalization of popular music, messages tolerating or promoting drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin.“In most countries, the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household,“ the study says. The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug issuesespecially the use of marijuana and issues of liberalization and legalization which
