25、 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 gasoline mileage. Some of
26、 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 dietetic (适合于节食的 ),
27、 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 appealing to fear of
28、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 in the ads, they
29、 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 force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying dec
30、ision. 31 Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by_. （ A） stressing their high quality （ B） convincing him of their low price （ C） maintaining a balance between quality and price （ D） appealing to his buying motives 32 The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is
31、 that_. （ A） thin slices of bread could contain more calories （ B） the loaf was cut into regular slices （ C） the bread was not genuine bread （ D） the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same 33 The passage tells us that_. （ A） sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer need
32、s （ B） advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they dont need （ C） the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisements （ D） fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment 33 So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continu
33、e 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 trying t
34、o 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. Teachi
35、ng 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 and l
36、earner 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 f
37、or 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 ar
38、e given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading. 34 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 lit
39、tle guidance （ D） too much time is spent in teaching about reading 35 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 syst
40、em for reading （ D） teachers can make their teaching activities observable 36 The word “scrutiny“ (Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means “_“. （ A） inquiry （ B） observation （ C） control （ D） suspicion 37 According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when _. （ A） childre
41、n become highly motivated （ B） teacher and learner roles are interchangeable （ C） teaching helps children in the search for knowledge （ D） reading enriches childrens experience 38 The main idea of the passage is that_. （ A） teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read （
42、 B） teachers 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 38 The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的 ) roof around a church; a drive through a narrow
43、village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildingsthese 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
44、countryside. 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
45、 craft of 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 be
46、came they 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 moder
47、n buildings. 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
48、 heat. 39 Which 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. 40 What do we know about thatching as
49、a craft? （ A） 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. 41 Thatched houses are still preferred because of_. （ A） their style and comfort （ B） their durability （ C） their easy maintenance （ D） their cheap and ready-made materials 42 People in developing co
