18、s very harmful to teaching. Therefore, it would be much more beneficial to teaching to develop a sound program of educational research. Such a program would improve teaching theory and technique. It would also make clear what competencies are required of a good teacher as well as help professors att
19、ain them. Educational research should be required to meet the same standards as scientific research, but it cannot be raised to those standards without comparable support and duty. Competent educational research is no more a part-time activity than competent scientific research. The relatively trivi
20、al (琐碎的 ) educational research so common in the universities is an inseparable result of trivial duties by the universities. Rather than look down upon such research, the professors have an obligation to see that it is upgraded. Let no one think that educational research is easy; it is concerned wit
21、h no less than solving the complexities of the human mind. There is no reason to believe that an effective theory and technology of instruction is easier to achieve than controlled nuclear fusion.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 40 Advertising played a vital role in the change of the American economy from one in which most goods were produced and sold locally to one developed mainly by brand names and products sold nationally. Before the 1
27、880s, most advertisements consisted entirely of print. The print itself was primarily informational: it described the product and where it could be achieved. The few images that ads contained were highly stylized. Very few ads featured slogans (口号，标语 ) or brand names. Beginning in the 1890s, however
28、, advertisements experienced a great change. They began to look like advertising today, focusing on visual images, slogans, catch-phrases, and importance of individuals health and psychological wealth. The J. Walter Thompson advertising agency sold Scott tissue by warning consumers of “the troubles
29、caused by harsh toilet tissue“. Lucky Strike sold cigarettes to women first by using the slogan “Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet“ and later by describing cigarettes as “torches of freedom,“ as symbols of modern values. Advertisements helped to transform American values. They made Americans awar
30、e of such “problems“ as halitosis (口臭 ) and strange smell of body. More seriously, they helped promote a shift from an emphasis on savings toward consumption. They also helped to shift from a culture mainly toward words to the one toward visual images. 41 The first paragraph mainly tells us that _.
31、（ A） advertising improved the product quality （ B） advertising helped expand the goods distribution area （ C） the change of American economy was necessary （ D） producing and selling goods locally was the primary form of American economy 42 The advertisements before the 1880s _. （ A） did not use imag
