I d like to have one of tho
14、se“? Or do you say, “What lies are they telling this time? It cant be very good or they wouldnt have to advertise it so cleverly?“ Both types of people exist: the first are optimists; the second are pessimists and realists, Then, how should one deal with advertisements?An intelligent person will try
15、 to get as much help as he can from advertisements without allowing himself to be influenced against his own interests by them. To do this, he will find out something about the laws regulating advertising in the country in which he lives. Secondly, he will try to learn, from experience and from book
16、s, what one can believe in advertisements. When an article claims to be “the best in the world“, or offer “the best value for money in the country“, is there any way of proving, or disproving, these claims? If there is not, they can simply be ignored.Advertising can be extremely useful ff they are h
17、onest. If the advertisements arc true and accurate, the customers will be satisfied and will probably buy born the same firm next time and advise their friends and acquaintances to do the same, and they save a lot of time and trouble by putting sellers in touch with buyers in a quick and simple way.
18、 The dishonest advertiser hopes to sell his goods quickly and to make a large profit on them before the customers reactions begin. He knows that no customers will buy born him a second time, that none will recommend his products to their friends. But there are also semi-dishonest advertisers who mak
19、e claims for their products which they know perfectly well to be incapable of verification.If them was no advertising, fewer goods would be sold, so the cost of each article would be higher. The more you advertise, the more cheaply you can afford to sell your products. Advertising also encourages ma
20、kers to improve their goods continually.As advertisers become more and more expert at their work, they appeal to all the human emotions in the effort to increase sales: greed, jealousy, love of a bargain, fear of the disapproval of other people, fear of ill health, the desire to catch a husband, the
21、 desire to show off, and many others. But more and more customers are also becoming suspicious of and resistant to high-powered advertising. This is producing, in highly sophisticated countries, a deliberately modest type of advertisements that is intended to disarm the suspicions of sophisticates b
22、y giving an impression of absolute sincerity, or even of deliberate understatement.四、SECTION B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)五、Question. 1 to 5 are(总题数：1，分数：5.00)A.in BostonB.in New York C.in OsloD.in Washington解析：听力原文Questions-Man: .anyway, I felt pretty upset, I can tell you!Woman: Well, something even worse happ
23、ened to some friends of a colleague of mine in New York. The husband was on an extended business trip and the idea was that his wife would come over in the middle of it to spend a long weekend with him. He was flying in from Boston, and the wife from Europe and they were going to meet up on the Frid
24、ay evening and stay the weekend together at one of those very big hotels near Central Park.Man: Yeah.Woman: Well, the hotel computer had got file first letter of their name wrong-theft name began with a B (I think it was Berry) but it was spelt on the computer with a P. So the wife arrived at the ho
25、tel, gave her name and asked “Has ray husband arrived yet?“ and the reception clerk looked her up on the computer, said “No, not yet“ and so she said she d wait in their room and she was shown to the room. Well, then about half an hour later the husband arrived and gave this name and spelt it out ca
26、refully to the reception clerk and asked “Has my wife arrived yet?“ and she looked up the name on the computer and said “No, not yet“, so he said he d wait in the room and the clerk promised to send his wife up to him when she arrived and he was shown up to a different room. So he turned on the TV a
27、nd started waiting.Man: Oh.Woman: Well, they both waited for a couple of hours and then the wife called reception, was told her husband still hadnt arrived. So she went down to the restaurant and had a meal and then, being fired, you know, she went to bed. The husband was not quite hungry so, after
28、calling reception and being told his wife still hadnt arrived, he went down to have his dinner, and then went to bed. Well, the next day, they narrowly missed each other at breakfast, so they decided there was no point in sitting around waiting, so they both went out shopping or sightseeing, missed
29、each other again that evening and didnt finally meet up again fill the next afternoon. By this time the husband had to fly off to Washington for a meeting first thing on Monday!Man: Oh, thats amazing Its always strange in a new city. I.

31、ind a nice restaurant to go to that evening -I always prefer to eat out rather than in my hotel.Woman: Yeah.Man: And I soon realized that the same restaurant was being described again. I looked all the way through the leaflet and every page was a description of the same restaurant! There were no oth
32、ers in there! 100 pages all about the same restaurant!Woman: Oh, what was the name of file restaurant?Man: I cant remember!Woman: Oh, that reminds me of something. A colleague of mine was in Sweden. He was at the end of a tough series of meetings in Stockholm and about to fly back home to London. We
33、ll, he checked his suitcase in and went through to tile departure lounge, had a drink and caught his plane back to Heathrow. Unfortunately, the check-in clerk had put the wrong label on his case and it had the tag for a different flight on it.Man: So he went to London and his luggage went somewhere
34、else?Woman: No, no, no, no, worse than that. They did a security check on all the luggage that was being loaded onto the other flight and found that there was no passenger name to match that particular suitcase. So they very carefully took the case off to the far comer of the airport and the securit
35、y police blew it up!Man: Oh!Woman: Luckily, it only contained dirty clothes and a toothbrush and stuff like that. And he got fully compensated by the airline.Man: Er. I remember my boss telling me about something that happened a few years ago when he was somewhere in the Far East anyway. There was a
36、 long delay at the airport. So they all settled down for a long wait, feeling reassured that they werent having to fly in a faulty plane.Woman: Yeah.Man: Two hours later there was another announcement, “We have found a new plane. But the new plane is more sick than the first one, so we will take the
37、 first one.“ And they were all escorted to the first plane and it took off but they all felt very nervous and everyone started knocking back the gin and whisky. Anyway eventually they arrived at their destination and by this time everyone had managed to forget that the plane was “sick“, but instead
38、of landing, the plane kept circling round and round and round. Everyone started to get worried again. And then a msn in uniform came out of the little door leading to the flight deck with a screwdriver. He walked halfway down the aisle, stopped and lifted up the carpet. Then he raised a metal flap a
39、nd reached inside with the screw driver. There was a loud click and then they heard the landing gear going down. The man in uniform went back to the flight deck. The plane made its final approach and landed safely. As they all came down the steps, you could literally see everyone still shaking with
