20、ing its rail system.Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining significantly. At one time, trains were the only practical way to cross the vast areas of the west.Trains were fast, very luxurious, and qui
21、te convenient compared to other forms of transportation existing at the time.However, times change and the automobile became Americas standard of convenience.Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances.Therefore, the task for DDB Needham was to e
22、ncourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west. Two portions of the total market were targeted:1) anxious fliersthose concerned with safety, relaxation, and cleanliness
23、 and 2) travel-loversthose viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experience as part of their vacation.The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel experiences such as freedom, escape, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoors.It stressed exp
24、eriences gained by using the trains and portrayed western train trips as wonderful adventures. Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of these trains (Empire Builder, etc.).T
25、hese ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to most effectively reach target audiences.Results were impressive.The Empire Builder, which was focused on in one ad,enjoyed a 15 percent increase in profits on its Chicago to Seattl
26、e route. 21 Whats the authors purpose in writing this passage? （ A） To show the inability of trains to compete with planes with respect to speed and convenience. （ B） To stress the influence of the automobile on Americas standard of convenience. （ C） To emphasize the function of travel agencies in m
27、arket promotion. （ D） To illustrate the important role of persuasive communication in changing consumer attitudes. 22 It can be inferred from the passage that the drop in Amtrak ridership was due to the fact that_. （ A） trains were not suitable for short distance passenger transportation （ B） trains

30、 butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical compositiona finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much fast
31、er has been a mystery.Both are emulsionstiny globules (小球 ) of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another.The difference lies in whats in the globules and whats in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation. In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water.In bu
32、tter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat.The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture.“This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,“ he says. When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are
33、locked away in compartments (密封舱 ) buried deep in the sea of fat.Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients.They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products.“In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing,“ says Bro
34、cklehurst.The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the foods structure.Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in bu
35、tter.The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump. 24 The significance of Brocklehursts research is that_. （ A） it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservatives （ B） it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butter （ C） it
36、revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butter （ D） it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition 25 According to the researchers, cream sours faster than butter because bacteria_. （ A） are more evenly distributed in cream （ B） multiply more easily in cream tha
37、n is butter （ C） live on less fat in cream than in butter （ D） produce less waste in cream than in butter 26 According to Brocklehurst,we can keep cream fresh by_. （ A） removing its fat （ B） killing the bacteria （ C） reducing its water content （ D） altering its structure 27 The word “colonies“ (Line
38、 2, Para.4) refers to_. （ A） tiny globules （ B） watery regions （ C） bacteria communities （ D） little compartments 28 Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack_. （ A） by varying its chemical composition （ B） by turning it
39、into a solid lump （ C） while keeping its structure unchanged （ D） while retaining its liquid form 28 Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星 ) now,one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it,say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星 ) tha
40、t race across the night sky.Most orbit the sun far from Earth and dont threaten us.But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $40 million worth of new telescopes right now.Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space ro
41、cks.By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say,well have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons.But the cost wouldnt be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are:1) How likely the event is; and 2
42、) How bad the consequences if the event occurs.Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 400, 000 years.Sounds pretty rarebut if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we dont take care of these big asteroids,theyll take care of us,“ says
43、 one scientist.“Its that simple.“ The cure, though, might be worse than the disease.Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的 ) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,“ said a New York Times article. 29 What d
44、oes the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? （ A） They are heavenly bodies different in composition. （ B） They are heavenly bodies similar in nature. （ C） There are more asteroids than meteoroids. （ D） Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids. 30 What do scientists say about the collisio
45、n of an asteroid with Earth? （ A） It is very unlikely but the danger exists. （ B） Such a collision might occur once every 25 years. （ C） Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected. （ D） Its still too early to say whether such a collision might occur. 31 What do people
46、think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids? （ A） It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem. （ B） It may create more problems than it might solve. （ C） It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely. （ D） Further r
47、esearch should be done before it is proved applicable. 32 We can conclude from the passage that_. （ A） while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world （ B） asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future （ C） the worry about asteroids can b
48、e left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime （ D） workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth 33 Which of the following best describes the authors tone in this passage? （ A） Optimistic. （ B） Critical. （ C） Objective. （ D） Ar
