23、he passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the ques-tion.Then mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets.(40 points)Passage 1Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves directly to assist a rapid dist

24、ribution of goods at reasonable prices, thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices.By drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living.By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labo

25、r, and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment.lt lowers the costs of many services: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 m

26、ost important of all,advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the products and 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 advertiseme

27、nts.He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising.He will not 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 w

28、hat is claimed for it, and that it represents good value.Advertising does more for the material 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 advertisin

29、g because it persuades rather than informs. He was drawing excessively fine distinctions. Of course advertising seeks to persuade.If its message were confined merely to informationand that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the color of

30、 a shirt is subtly persuasive一advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well known television personality wants.51. By the first sentence of the passage the author means that.A he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertisingB everybody knows

31、well that advertising is money consumingC advertising costs money like everything elseD it is worthwhile to spend money on advertising52.

32、dsD Reducing newspaper cost53. The author deems that the well-known TV personality is.A very precise in passing his judgement on advertisingLB interested in nothing but the buyers attentionLC correct in telling the difference between persuasion and informationLD obviously partial in his views on adv

33、ertising54. In the authors opinion,.LA advertising can seldom bring material benefit to man by providing informationLB advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them overLC there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyerLD the buyer is not interested in getting informa

34、tion from an advertisementPassage 2There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades imp

35、rove, the foreigner who learns a new language 一 all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks alon

36、g the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try,

37、 new challenges to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may fai at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we perceive ou

38、rselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think were shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate.to move slowly,and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think we rc slow

39、 to adapt to change or that were not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not confront and overcome these inter

40、nal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making. 55. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when.A he has given up his smoking habitEB he has made great efforts in his workC he is keen on learning an

41、ything newD he has tried to determine where he is on his journey56. In the authors eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would.C A succeed in climbing up the social ladderB judge his ability to grow from his own achievementsC face difficulties and take up challengesD aim high and reach hi

42、s goal each time57. When the author says “a new way of being (Lines 3 ,Para. 3), he is referring to.A a new approach to experiencing the worldB a new way of taking risksC a new method of perceiving ourselvesD a new system of adapting to change58. For personal growth, the author advocates all of the

43、following except .A curiosity about more chancesB promptness in self-adaptationC open-mindedness to new experiencesD avoidance of internal fears and doubtsPassage 3In such a changing, complex society formerly simple solutions to informational needs become complicated.Many of lifes problems which wer

44、e solved by asking family members, friends or colleagues are beyond the capability of the extended family to resolve. Where to turn for expert information and how to determine which expert advice to accept are questions facing many people today.In addition to this, there is the growing mobility of p

45、eople since World War II. As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable.T

46、he almost unconscious flow of information about the simplest aspects of living can be cut off.Thus, things once learned subconsciously through the casual communications of the extended family must be consciously learned.Adding to social changes today is an enormous stockpile of information. The indi

47、vidual now has more information available than any generation, and the task of finding that one piece of information relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated, time consuming and sometimes even overwhelming.Coupled with the growing quantity of information is the development of technolog

48、ies which enable the storage and delivery of more information with greater speed to more locations than has ever been possible before.Computer technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in machine-readable files, and to program computers to locate specific information. Telecommunications developments enable the sending of messages via television
