T
11、he appeal of advertising to buying motives 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 advertisement have appealed to peoples desire for better fuel economy for their cars by adv
12、ertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumersmoney. Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago, a brand of bread was offered to dieters(节食者)with the message that there were fewer calories(热
13、量单位, 卡)in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not 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.
14、 Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing 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 consid
15、er the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in 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?Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not
16、 force them to buy the product. Consumer still controls the final buying decision. （分数：10.00）(1).Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless product by_.（分数：2.00）A.stressing their high qualityB.convincing him of their low priceC.maintaining a balance between quality and priceD.appealing t
17、o his buying motives(2).The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that_.（分数：2.00）A.thin slices of bread could contain more caloriesB.the loaf was cut into regular slicesC.the bread was not genuine breadD.the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same(3).The passage tells us
18、 that_.（分数：2.00）A.sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsB.advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they dont needC.the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisementD.fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment(4).It can be inferred from
19、the passage that a smart consumer should_.（分数：2.00）A.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementB.guard against the deceiving nature of advertisementsC.be familiar with various advertising strategiesD.avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal(5).The passage is mai
20、nly about_.（分数：2.00）A.how to make a wise buying decisionB.ways to protect the interests of the consumerC.the positive and negative aspects of advertisingD.the function of advertisements in promoting salesPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Tides are created mainly by th
21、e pull of the moon on the earth. The moons pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a point closest to the moon and also at a point farthest from the moon, on the opposite side of the earth. These two tidal“waves”follow the apparent movement of the moon around the earth and strike ne
22、arly every coast line at intervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes. After reaching a high point, the water level goes down gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise toward a new high point. Hence, most coast lines have two tides a day, and the tides occur fifty
23、 minutes later each day. Differences in the coast line and in channels in the ocean bottom may change the time that the tidal wave reaches different points along the same coast line. The difference in water level between high and low tide varies from day to day according to the relative positions of
24、 the sun and the moon. The sun also exerts a pull on the earth, although it is only about haft as strong as the pull of the tides arise higher and when they pull at right angles to one another. the tide is lower. The formation of the coast line and variations in the weather are additional factors wh
25、ich can affect the height of tides. Some sections of the coast are shaped in such a way as to cause much higher tides than are experienced in other areas. A strong wind blowing toward the shore may also cause tides to the higher. （分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is right according to the passage
26、?（分数：2.00）A.Some coast lines do not have two tides each day.B.Tides are not affected by the shape of coast line.C.The sun has as much effect on tides as does the moon.D.Tides usually rise to the same land day after day.(2).The time that high tide occurs at a particular place is affected by all of th
27、e following EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.the direction of the windB.channels in the sea bottomC.variations in the coast lineD.the position of the moon(3).Which of the following is an accurate statement about the pull of the sun on the earth?（分数：2.00）A.It is about twice the pull of the moon.B.It determines the
28、 time of high tide.C.It determines the time of low tide.D.It is about half the pull of the moon.(4).The height of the tide is affected by all of the following EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.the position of the sunB.channels in the sea bottomC.the direction of the windD.variations in the coast line(5).Tides woul
29、d_if the pull of the moon equaled the pull of the sun.（分数：2.00）A.be the same height as they are nowB.be of equal height all the timeC.sometimes be higher than they are nowD.no longer be affected by the windPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. During the Christmas shopp
30、ing rush in London, a story was reported of a tramp(流浪者)who, apparently no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well. known chain store late on Christmas Eve.

31、ll the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute. Christmas presents. However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of if. There was foo
32、d, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems t
33、o have been a man of good humor and philosophic temperament-as indeed tramps very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted(屈服), cheerful enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas th
34、an usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed.
