2、） AAdvertising has become a very specialized activity in modern times. In the business world of today, supply is usually greater than demand. There is great competition between different manufacturers (制造商) of the same kind of product to persuade customers to buy their own particular brand. They do
3、this by advertising. The manufacturer advertises in the newspapers and on posters. He sometimes pays for songs about this product in commercial radio programmes. He employs attractive salesgirls to spread samples (样品) of it. He organizes competitions, with prizes for the winners. He often advertises
4、 on the screens of local cinemas. Most important of all, in countries that have television he had advertisements put into programmes that will accept them. Manufacturers often spend large sums of money on advertisements. We buy a particular product because we think that is the best . We usually thin

BA higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspape
9、r, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.The reading passages which follow are
10、 all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the
11、much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim (浏览) through a newspaper at perhaps 650700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fif
12、ty.Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, USA, for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolsto
13、ys War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words p
14、er minute.5. B According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you .A. only in your reading of a physics textbook.B. improve your understanding of an economics textbook.C. not only in your language study but also in other subjects.D. choose the sui
15、table materials to read6. A Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph?A. Those beyond ones reading comprehension.B. Those concerned with common knowledge.C. Those without the demand for specialized knowledge.D. Those with the length of
16、about five hundred words.7. A The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota is .A. about 300 words per minute.B. about 245 words per minute.C. about 60 words per minute.D. about 500 words per minute.8. B According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after
17、you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota?A. You can increase your reading speed by three times.B. No real increase your reading speed can be achieved.C. You can increase your reading speed by four times.D. You can double your reading speed. CNormally a student must a
18、ttend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In may American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one term. A typical course consists of three class
19、es per week for fifteen weeks; while attending university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each term. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two terms each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is als
20、o possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to future employers. Al
21、l this impresses a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations cause much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who
22、advise the academic authorities (学院权威机构). Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these
23、 positions of authority is much respected and it will be helpful to him later in his job.9. A Normally a student would attend classes a term for a course.A. 45B. 12C. 20D. 1510.

26、tions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid DDeserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls,
27、within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow ove
28、r the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high. There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed f
29、rom thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changingvery, slowly as these forces of nature continue to work on the
30、 rock.Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few sings of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun being
31、s to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.13.
