You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed._26.Task 1Directions: After
20、reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice_Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical
21、 Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate. While this law is not without humor by todays standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In todays society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why
22、do people try to take their own lives? The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as failure, wrath, the need for attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typic
23、al victim. To make the problem even more involved, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious. In the U. S., a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides. People who are bitter, worr
24、ied, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers. These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solution to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, in so far as their eff
25、ectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal. However, they have helped a lot of people with a variety of problems. So, in the somewhat amorphous (难以名状的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following arguments is TRUE according to the
26、 article?（分数：2.00）A.The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicide.B.Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world.C.In today s society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide.D.Nowadays suicide is not as common as it was in the past.(2).Which of the followin
27、g is NOT mentioned as a motive for suicide?（分数：2.00）A.Insanity.B.Pressure.C.The need for attention.D.Great anger.(3).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.People who want to take their own lives often disguise their feelings.B.It is difficult to describe what kind of people tend t
28、o commit suicide.C.Suicide has been a problem in most cities since ancient times.D.People who commit suicide all share certain characteristics.(4).The word “benevolent“ (Line 3, Para. 3)means_.（分数：2.00）A.relevantB.kindC.seriousD.effective(5).The third paragraph mainly tells us that_.（分数：2.00）A.a net
29、work of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicideB.a network of centers help the callers to realize that suicide is a common social problemC.people are making efforts to help those who tend to commit suicide and in a way, they are successfulD.in the US, people who want to commit suicide c
30、all a network of centers to get help27.Task 2Directions：This task is the same as Task 1The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45_The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor qual
31、ity 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 gasoline mileage. Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers money. Someti
32、mes 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 (热量单位，卡路里) in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic (适合节食的), but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it w
33、as 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, considering fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance
34、 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 in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising. Each consumer must evalu
35、ate 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 force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.（分数：10.00）(1).Advertising can persuade the consumer to
36、 buy worthless products by_.（分数：2.00）A.stressing their high qualityB.convincing him of their low priceC.maintaining a balance between quality and priceD.appealing to 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
37、 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 that_.（分数：2.00）A.sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsB.advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying
38、things they don t needC.the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsD.fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment(4).It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should_.（分数：2.00）A.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsB.guard against
39、 the deceiving nature of advertisementsC.be familiar with various advertising strategiesD.avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal(5).The passage is mainly 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 as
40、pects of advertisingD.the function of advertisements in promoting sales28.Task 3Directions：The following is a passageAfter reading it，you are required to complete the blanks below it(No46 through No50)You should write your answers briefly in no more than three words_The first training class for empl
