18、destitution: an inability to provide a family with nutritious food, clothing, and reasonable shelter. But only a small number of the 35 million persons classified as “poor“ by the Census Bureau fit that description. While the poor are generally well-nourished, some poor families do experience hunger
19、, meaning a temporary discomfort due to food shortages. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA), 13 percent of poor families and 2.6 percent of poor children experience hunger at some point during the year. In most cases, their hunger is short-term. Eighty-nine percent of the poor repo
20、rt their families have “enough“ food to eat, while only 2 percent say they “often“ do not have enough to eat. The typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two color televisions, cable
21、or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded.

26、ment and the press （ D） only belongs to those who do not have enough food to eat Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. 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 go
27、ods were produced and sold locally to one developed mainly by brand names and products sold nationally. Before the 1880s, 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 co
28、ntained were highly stylized. Very few ads featured slogans(口号，标语 )or brand names. Beginning in the 1890s, however, 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 psycho
29、logical wealth. The J. Walter Thompson advertising agency sold Scott tissue by warning consumers of “the troubles 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 f
30、reedom,“ as symbols of modern values. Advertisements helped to transform American values. They made Americans aware 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 fro
31、m a culture mainly toward words to the one toward visual images. 41 The first paragraph mainly tells us that _. （ 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
