Some, however, might view the relationship between t
19、he car and the human race as more of a love-hate relationship. We love and cherish cars because they are undeniably convenient, have increased our personal mobility, and have permitted industry and commerce to grow and prosper. However, they unfortunately also have their downsides such as the increa
20、se in pollution and congestion that they cause.The problems caused by cars, however, may only get bigger in the future, because of a car that is smaller and cheaper. The car in question is the Tata Nono, manufactured in the Indian state of West Bengal in a purpose-built factory by the entrepreneur R
21、atan Tata, and first launched in October 2008. Apart from the obvious profit motive, the admirable philosophy behind this venture is the desire to bring motoring and mobility within the reach of the poor people who up until now have been unable to afford the price of a car. At around what some have
22、called an ultra-affordable $2,500, the so-called Peoples Car is now within easy reach of determined buyers. The Tata Nono will provide status and a higher degree of comfort and protection than previous vehicles did. Previously, people had to rely on their two-wheeled scooters or three-wheeled motori
23、sed rickshaws for transport, but now these eight million road users will have another option.So who exactly are the potential owners of these new vehicles? Who will buy them? In India, the average age is 25, and many of these young people have great dreams for a prosperous future. There is also a gr
24、owing middle class with increasing spending power. Combine these facts with extensive advertising, and there will be a predictable explosion in the number of cars.Another way of looking at this development, though, is that all car owners can sit alongside each other in the inevitable traffic jams, f
25、or this is the downside of allowing everyone to have access to cars. Increasingly, voices are being raised in India and abroad, questioning the wisdom and warning of the consequences of sending such a massive number of new cars onto the roads. Tata alone hopes to sell one million per year, and that
26、does not take into account the existing car companies who are already in the market. However, what gives anyone the right to tell poor Indians that they cannot or should not have access to the same modern conveniences that other countries enjoy? India has only 1% of the worlds cars, and the USA has
27、40%. Would anyone dream of even suggesting that the developed world should cut back on the number of cars on its roads? Yet there are compelling arguments in favour of controlling the number of new cars on Indias roads.As was seen during Chinas hosting of the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008, there
28、is a definite connection between the number of cars on the road and the amount of pollution in the air, and controlling one reduces the other. Enabling a million new drivers every year to take to the roads will worsen air quality in Indias megacities, such as Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkatta, where the am
29、ount of air pollution due to vehicles stands at 64%, 52% and 30% respectively. Nearly 60% of Indian cities already have pollution levels that are at the critical level, and the release of the Tata Nono, in conjunction with all the other new cars, has the potential to dramatically affect those levels
30、. Traffic congestion, already a major cause for concern, is yet another aspect of transport that will get further out of control, and instead of driving alongside each other, the poor and the rich may find themselves stuck alongside each other in massive traffic jams. And as if pollution and congest
31、ion were not enough, there is one more problem to face: fuel supply. India only has an estimated 0.5% of global oil reserves, and imports approximately 70% of its oil needs from the Middle East. Increasing the number of cars will also increase Indias dependence on imported oil and create unfortunate
32、 effects on the domestic economy.The Tata Nono, then, is a uniquely Indian solution to an Indian problem. It will have benefits and drawbacks. Many people will applaud the freedom of movement that it will give to the poorer sections of Indian society, while others will fear the environmental consequ
33、ences. At the beginning of the next century, assuming that the human race is still here and that the personal car is still a major mode of transport, will our descendants look back at this development and regard it in the same favourable way that people looked at Henry Fords original invention?Quest

If more cars are allowed on Indias roads, this will lead to problems for the Indian economy.17. In the future, people will consider that the development Tata Nono
38、was a good thing. Reading Passage 2 Advertising“Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide.” Do you often see this kind of advertising in your country? Statements like these, that no-one can prove, are called puffery. This is a term that has been developed for exaggerated claims that are made in adve
39、rtising. Puffery is legal, even though such claims cannot be proved. In fact, puffery has been termed “a licence to lie”, as it is vague enough to be classed as opinion, an expression of the salespersons evaluation of the product, rather than an objective statement.Using puffery to raise awareness o
40、f products and to generate increased sales is a common advertising strategy. Goods and services are described in terms of superlatives, subjective opinions and exaggerations; various kinds of general claims are made, with no specific facts. So, why do some people worry about puffery? One of the conc
41、erns is whether consumers are misled by false advertising. Legal guidelines and government controls are required to prevent dishonest advertising. Companies understandably object to untruthful ads which give a competitor an unfair advantage in the market. These claims can be tested in the courts, an
42、d the decisions that are made help to make the boundary between acceptable puffery and illegal advertising.puffery is nothing new. It has been identified in documents dating from as long ago as the sixteenth century, when the notion of “caveat emptor” or “let the buyer beware” developed in business
43、transactions. Although this initially applied to property deals, it came to be used more generally. This Latin term basically meant that anyone buying a product had a responsibility to check it carefully before payment. The seller did not need to take responsibility for defects (unless a problem had
44、 been deliberately concealed). In those days, of course, there was no notion of consumer rights or returns policies.These days, however, if a company claims to sell the countrys “best-loved” or “favourite” product, whether a brand of coffee or a make of car, this is held to be puffery, rather than a
45、n objective claim of market share. Similarly, the company does not have to produce proof that this claim is actually backed up by numbers or facts. In other words, claims such as “the worlds best cup of coffee” are impossible to prove. They are also so exaggerated that it is expected that any consum
46、er will understand how subjective they are. In effect, the company in question is said to be “boasting” rather than making objective claims. The claims are therefore not considered to be deceptive. In fact, puffery is often considered to add to the entertainment value of advertisements, especially t
47、elevision commercials.On the other hand, a company that states their product is the “safest” or “cheapest” needs to show proof, because these claims can directly affect their competitors. Statements that are objective need to be backed up by proof or statistics, as consumer rights organisations can
48、run tests to compare products such as washing machines and vacuum cleaners. They also investigate companies involved in insurance, finance, property, credit cards and other such services. Companies and salespeople should therefore be very careful when making factual statements about a product, or as
49、sertions regarding the quality of goods and services. In most developed countries, there is likely to be an official organisation which oversees the validity of advertising claims. In addition, there may be a government council with the authority to take legal action against companies that overstep
50、the limit.A primary function of advertising is to create product awareness. As consumers, we need to know about competing products, so we can make informed decisions on which one to buy. While it is important that advertisers are monitored to ensure they do not mislead consumers, it can be argued th
51、at puffery is a good technique for raising awareness of new products that otherwise would go unnoticed in a crowded market. As long as there are effective ways of monitoring the claims of advertisers, to prevent deliberate deception in terms of safety or particular aspects of performance, it seems t
52、hat most puffery is relatively harmless. Rather, it should be seen as an integral part of advertising, which most consumers can detect and laugh at rather than being misled.Questions 17-26Choose ONE WORD from the passage to complete the following sentences.Write your answers in boxes 14-23 on your a
