Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.37 On my arrival in America, the one thing I noticed more than anyth
23、ing else was the tremendous amount of advertising that went on on the radio, on television, on billboards (广告专栏 ) and signposts, and in .magazines. In the last three years, I have become accustomed to this fact in American life, for I believe that it is a creative and necessary part of an industrial
24、 society. I, too, want to improve my life-style and to buy better products, so I look to advertising to show me how to do it.Deciding what to believe in advertising, however, isnt easy. It seems to me that a person must purchase things with a lot of care. As a consumer, I want to get the best for my
25、 money, but I really have to understand the techniques of advertising. Otherwise, manufacturers will be able to sell me anything, no matter what its quality may be.More and more people are becoming conscious, like me, of the ways in which advertising can affect them. The creative aspects of commerci
26、als, for instance, often cover up defects or problems in products. I have learned this well, since I have made purchases and lost money because the items were of poor quality.The future of advertising most likely Will involve a much greater degree of public participation. I intend to become involved
27、 in consumer groups that want to protect people from misleading advertising. But ! also want to see Americans keep their high standards of living in the process. In the future, if consumers like me really care about the quality of something as well as the quantity, maybe advertisers will begin to ca
28、re more about what they are trying to sell.38 How long has the author lived in the U.S.?（A）Several years.（B） One year.（C） Two years.（D）Three years.39 The author thinks the advertising is a kind of _.（A）need for selling（B） necessary for producing（C） need for purchasing（D）creation and necessity of ind
29、ustry40 Misleading advertisement can _.（A）sell more things（B） earn more money（C） let people like products（D）cover up product defects41 What does the author think of the advertising?（A）It is easy to believe.（B） It is not easy to believe.（C） It is good.（D）It is good to guide the people.42 What is the
30、main idea of this passage?（A）Advertising in America.（B） How to do advertising,（C） The importance of advertising.（D）Misleading of the advertising.42 Most mothers have a good piece of advice: Never go into a supermarket hungry! If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, youll probably buy more than
31、 you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isnt enough for consumers these days. Modem shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the grocery store. First, you should check the weekly newspaper ads, find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need tho
32、se things. In others words, dont buy anything just because its cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!“ or “All Natural“ on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (成分) on the back. Third, compare prices; that is, you should examine the prices of both different bra
33、nds and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for consumers is to buy generic (普通的) items instead of famous brands. Generic items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because manufacturers dont spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, howe
34、ver, is usually identical to the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores arent very attractive, an
35、d they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine advertisements and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the
36、psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser sim
37、ply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.43 In the above passage, the authors main purpose is to _.（A）suggest consumers to buy generic items instead of fatuous brands（B） give some pieces of advice to consumers（C） convince readers that the
38、 advice of most mothers isnt enough for consumers these days（D）persuade consumers not to believe the advertisements44 Which of the following statements is NOT true about the phrase “generic items“ in the second paragraph?（A）Generic items never say “New and Improved!“ or “All Natural“.（B） Generic pro
39、ducts are usually cheaper than famous brands.（C） Manufacturers spend less money on packaging of generic items.（D）The quality of generic items is usually as good as that of well-known name brands.45 The writer thinks that advertisements are _.（A）believable（B） attractive（C） full of misinformation（D）he
40、lpful to consumers46 Which of the following is one of the authors suggestions to consumers?（A）To make use of advertisements.（B） Not to buy items with .words like “New and Improved!“ or “All Natural“.（C） To buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch.（D）To buy any generic items instead o
41、f famous brands.47 The author implies that _.（A）going into a supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to（B） the quality of generic items is usually high and the prices are relatively low（C） discount clothing stores are good places to go to（D）advertisements sometimes dont tell the truth47 I
42、n general, American food is mild tasting; most Americans do not season their food to any great degree. Salads are very popular and are served all year, especially in the summer. Waiters tend to assume that everyone drinks coffee, but simply tell them if you want something else. If a waiter says “Now
43、 or later?“ he means “Do you want coffee with your meal or after it?“ Many, but certainly not all, Americans drink coffee or tea with their meals. Either way is perfectly acceptable. When dining out, you can ask for tea, milk, “coke“, wine or beer if you prefer. Restaurants can only serve beer, wine
44、 or other alcoholic drinks if they have a license, that is, permission from the local government to serve alcoholic drinks. Normally, when eating in a private home, it is considered good manners to take whatever is served and not to ask for something different, unless the hostess gives you a choice.
45、The main course served in American meals is usually meat, fish, or poultry, but rarely is more than one of these served as a first course, however.Most Americans eat breakfast and lunch quickly unless it is social, business, or family occasion. The evening meal, however, is usually longer and a time
46、 for the family to gather together. Rushing through day-time meals is part of the fast pace in America. Another reason for rushing through day-time meals is that many people who eat breakfast and lunch in restaurants are usually crowded with people waiting for a place so that they, too, can be serve
47、d and return to work at the proper time. So each one hurries to make room for the next person. As with busy people everywhere there is a real difference between a meal that is eaten in a hurry and one that can be enjoyed with friends during ones leisure.48 In America, salads are very popular and are
48、 served especially _.（A）all year（B） in the summer（C） at lunch（D）at dinner49 When dining ont, you can ask for _.（A）tea or coffee（B） wine or beer（C） whatever you want（D）whatever is being served50 When eating in a private home, it is considered good manners to _.（A）take whatever is being served（B） take
49、 whatever you want（C） ask for something different（D）ask the hostess to choose for you51 At one meal, the first main course is often _.（A）meat, fish and poultry（B） either meat or fish（C） meat, fish and poultry but no seafood（D）none of the meat, fish and poultry52 Which one of the following is NOT true? Most Americans rush through day-time meals because _.（A）it is their pace of life（B） their time is limited（
