18、vices：without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much，the price of your television license would need to be doubled ,and travel by bus or tube would cost 20 percent more And perhaps most important of all，advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the produces a
19、nd services you buy. Apart from the fact that twenty seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising，no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements，He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertisingHe will not
20、 do so for long ,for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior article more than once .If you see an article consistently advertised ,it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it, and that it represents good value。 Advertising does more for the ma
21、terial benefit of the community than any other force I can think of. There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informsHe was drawing excessively fine distinctionsOf
22、 course advertising seeks to persuades If its message were confined merely to information and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve,for even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is subtly persuasiveadvertising would be so boring that no one would pay any atten

They ran away from the city about two centuries ago after deve
27、lopers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is clear, the foxes have come home. “ The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Comer Jones. A survey of the wildlife in New Yorks Central Park last year counted 14 species of mammals. A similar survey condu
28、cted in the 1890s counted only five species. Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of
29、 suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges(避难处)have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent 750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent(永久的)wildlife refuges in the city. As a result, many birds are now living in the city. For peregrine falcons cities are actually safer than rural
30、cliff dwellings(悬崖栖息地)。By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because of the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities afforded plenty of food. Cities can attract wild animals wi
31、thout turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only whish ones retain(保持)th
32、e cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.40. The passage is mainly concerned with_. Awildlife returning to large cities Bfoxes returning to London Cwild animals living in zoos D. a survey of wildlife in New York41It can be inferred from the passage that A. Londoners are putting more an
33、d more wild animals into their zoos BLondoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city CLondoners file trying to move wild animals back to the countryside DLondoners have welcomed the wild birds，but found foxes a problem42According to the passage, the number of species of wildlife in NewY

AFood is plentiful in the cities BWildlife is appreciated in the cit
35、ies CWildlife refuges have been built in the cities DAir and water quality has improved in the citiesCShopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.Coloring, for example, varies according to
36、what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packers are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver. When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers fo
37、und that the colors turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package -blue, because we think of it as safe, And white as calm.The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle does
38、nt contain as much as It appears to. It is believed that the better known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!The most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used
39、pretty little girls to promote their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”44. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text? A. The cost of its package B. The price of the product C. The color of its packag
40、e D. The brand name of the product 45. The underlined part “the color turned the customers off” (in para.3) means the colors_.A. attracted the customers strongly B. had weak effects on the customers C. tricked the customers into shopping D. caused the customers to lose interest46. Which of the follo
41、wing is the key to the success in product sales?A. The way to promote the goods. B. the discovery of a geniusC. The team to produce a good producer D. The brand name used by successful producers.47. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Choice of good products B. Disadvanta
42、ge of products C. Effect of packaging on shopping D. Brand names and shopping tricks D “A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,” says Mollie Hunter Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly bel
43、ieves that is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is, In Mollies opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing. “If you arent telling a story, youre a very dead write
44、r indeed,” she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快)，Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. Ive told stories all my life. I had a scho
45、ol teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handing them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said Nonsense, Mollie, dear, youll be a writer. So finally I thought that this woman must have
46、 something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.” This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollies ambition (理想) a
47、nd her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dir
48、ty hands all over my childhood. Ill never go back,” she said. “Never” “When I set one of my books in Scotland,” she said, “I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And thats important, because children now know so much so
49、 early that romance cant exist for them, as it did for us.”48. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book? A. It should not aim at a narrow audience. B. It should be attractive to young readers. C. It should be based on original ideas. D. It should not include too much conversation
50、.49. In Mollie Hunters opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer? A. Being poor in life experience. B. Being short of writing skills. C. The weakness of description. D.

52、Whats the writers purpose in this text? A. To describe Mollie Hunters most successful books BTo share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunters books CTo introduce Mollie Hunters work to a wider audienceDTo provide information for Mollie Hunters existing readers.E Drunken driving-sometimes called Americas soc
