18、cause Roman religious and philosophical attitudes made experimentation on the human body unthinkable.

20、prohibiting dissection of the human body. Vesalius, nevertheless, conducted research in secret.

34、 past, the concept of marketing emphasized sales. The producer or manufacturer made a product he wanted to sell. Marketing was the task of figuring out how to sell the product. Basically, selling the product would be accomplished by sales promotion, which include advertising and personal selling. In

35、 addition to sales promotion, marketing also involved the physical distribution of the product to the places where it was actually sold. Distribution consisted of transportation, storage, and related services such as financing, standardization and grading, and the related risks. The modem marketing

36、concept encompasses all of the activities mentioned, but it is based on a different set of principles. It subscribes to the notion that production can be economically justified only by consumption. In other words, goods should be produced only if they can be sold. Therefore, the producer should cons

37、ider who is going to buy the product -or what the market for the product is -before production begins.

41、is neglected in traditional marketing Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks. 51 Historians and philosophers agree

42、that ever since the development of agriculture, human beings have had art effect on the natural habitat (动植物生息地 ) of many plants and animal species. As human populations have increased, as many as 6,000 species are disappearing each year. A number 10,000 times greater than before man appeared on the

43、 planet. In one day alone, say scientists, some 45 kinds of plants and animals will die, some 17,500 species will be wiped out. In 1977, the United States Congress took an important step to help the ever - increasing number of endangered species. With the enforcement of the Endangered Species Act, s

44、ome species have gained more public recognition than others. Elephants and whales, for example, have received far more media attention than have the smaller, less known, and less attractive species that are also endangered. Yet it is the tiny species, such as bugs and bacteria, that keep the planet

45、in balance. Scientists are becoming even more concerned with the fact that without equal concern for these species, the planets biological diversity will be destroyed, leaving us with a loss of potential new food and drugs. On the other hand, some scientists argue that the extinction issue is being

46、exaggerated(夸大 ), and that people are “crying wolf“ by describing the loss of species as more alarming than it really is. History proves that every species will eventually become extinct. Evolution of species, they say, naturally involves the extinction of species; man has no control. In addition, m

47、any people point to the fact that the world is already lacking in resources, food, and adequate health care. Concerned more with economic survival, they ask whether it is, in fact, realistic to make a fuss over saving the elephant or other species that may become extinct many years from now, when pe

48、ople have families to feed tomorrow. These people question a law that puts the continuation of lower forms of life above mans own survival. 1. The issue: To what extent we should try to (46) or allow for mans development. 2. Proponents ( 支持者 ) ( of saving endangered species) arguments : a. The extin

49、ction of plants and animals is (47) before man appeared on the planet. b. Tiny species keep the earth in balance. c. Man needs (48) for food and drugs. 3. Opponents (反对者 ) ( of saving endangered species) arguments: a. Proponents exaggerate the case. b. Species (49) e. Mans need (50) Task 5 Directions: The following is a passage. After reading the passage you should give brief a
