12、I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didnt want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer!

18、ing first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job. Lets take a man well call Mr. Fielder,
19、 for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didnt make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows(犁), or any of the other hund
20、reds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things. Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did no
21、t really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows. How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a si
22、gn outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows. Many historians believe that the first ou
23、tdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale. A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say tha
24、t the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get peoples attention. A cr
25、ier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising
26、involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in todays world. 41What probably led to the start of advertising? AThe disco
27、very of iron. BThe specialization of labor. CThe appearance of new jobs. DThe development of farming techniques. 42To advertise his plows, Mr. Plowright _. Apraised his plows in public Bplaced a sign outside the shop Chung an arrow pointing to the shop Dshowed his products to the customers43The writ
28、er makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to_. Aexplain the origin of advertising Bpredict the future of advertising Cexpose problems in advertising Dprovide suggestions for advertising44In ancient Egypt, a crier was probably someone who _. A. owned a shipB. had the loude
29、st voiceC. ran a shop selling goods to farmersD. functioned like todays TV or radio commercial45The last two paragraphs are mainly about_. A. the history of advertising B. the benefits of advertisingC. the early forms of advertising D. the basic design of advertising【要点综述】 什么是广告,广告的目的是什么?它最早是怎么开始的呢?
30、在文章中作者将会告诉我们一些有关广告历史的故事。让我们读文章去了解一下吧。41B 考查细节理解。从文章第一段“No one knows for sureThat led to the concept of specialization”可知劳动的专业化导致广告的开始,故答案应该选B项。42B考查细节理解。从文章第四段“and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers.”可知,他放了一块标牌在外面以吸引顾客,所以选B项。43A考查推理判断。从第五段“Many historians believe that the fi
31、rst outdoor signs were used five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.”知,作者通过上面列举的两个例子,阐述广告最有可能的起源,所以答案选A项。44D考查推理判断。从全文最后一段“A crier, in the historical sensein
32、other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in todays world.”知,古代的crier如同现代社会电视和广播中的商业代言人,所以选D项。45C考查段落大意。从“A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message.”和“A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily”知,最后两段主要讨论了古代商业广告的模式,所以选C项。【山东省2014
