Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Today’s advertisements , or ads, try to get consumers to buy certain brands(品牌). Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can. sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片) , or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.
For example, you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on a shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it.
Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.
46. What is discussed in this passage? A. The content of modern advertising. B. The skills of modern advertising. C. The results of modern advertising. D. The writing of modern advertising.
47. According to the passage, a good advertisement should . A. be both persuasive and effective B. give people useful information C. show people a product D. show people a new idea of a product
48. From the passage, we know that . A. modern advertising has less effect on customers
B. once customers see ads about a new cerea1, they are sure to buy it C. cereal can make people strong D. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people
49. What can we infer from the passage? A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements. B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements. C. It’s impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements. D. Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.

Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house, possessions(财产) and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary(夜盗;抢劫) and attack.
Figures show an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine "It will never happen to me". Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.
Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do. Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.
You must remember that owning a burglar alarm is no indication(暗示) that your house is packed with valuable possessions. It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that yours is one house they will not break into easily, so they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a lot easier.

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
55. The results of the test show that _______.
A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies
B. breakfast has much to do with people’s health
C. a person will work better if he has simple breakfast

In the world today, there are millions of surveillance cameras, or ‘spy cams’, watching and monitoring our daily activities. There are some benefits of course, as people who are breaking laws can be watched and caught using cameras and this helps keep our society and public places safe.
These cameras are everywhere and most are openly visible on roads, in airports, businesses, shopping centers and government buildings and even in lifts. Even schools have started using spy cams to watch student activity and behavior.
The cameras are so common now that we hardly ever even notice them. But the problem lies with the ones that are hidden away from our eyes and are unseen. Technology has helped develop tiny cameras that can be very well hidden and they can ‘spy’ on shoppers , workers , babysitters and people in hotels and clubs without the people even knowing.
It is these spy cams that people feel are an invasion of privacy. Recently, in the U.S., there have been a number of court cases against babysitters whose actions have been recorded by their employers on hidden cameras.
The number of cameras in public and private areas is on the increase and with rising crime rates and the recent terrorist attacks, more and more surveillance cameras are being used to watch us. This means that we all have to be aware that our employers, department stores, police and even some of our friends could be spying on us at any time!
59. In the writer’s opinion, surveillance cameras .
A. do more good than wrong B. are overused
C. should be very popular D. ought to be more widely used
60. In what way can the surveillance camera benefit the public?
A. By helping keep social safety. B. By monitoring the employees.
C. By watching the students in class. D. By spying on customers.

A. object to B. agree to C. feel happy about D. are fearful of
62. Spy cams will be more widely used in the future because .
A. all people want to spy B. of the invasion of privacy
C. people enjoy being watched D. of terrorist attacks

Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.
With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’Donnel. With shouts of “Kick it!” echoing (回响) across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O’Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down Syndrome (综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.
The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.
Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”
63. What was the score of the soccer match?
A. Two to two, equal to both the teams. B. Three to one in Mickey’s team’s favor.
C. Two to one in the opposite team’s favor.

66. The purpose of the author in writing the passage is ________.

D. to present his son’s fine qualities of understanding others

As we know, it is very important that a firm should pay attention to the training of its staff as there exist many weak points in its various departments. Staff training must have a purpose, which I defined(解释) when a firm considers its training needs, which are in turn based on job descriptions and job specifications.
A job description should give details of the performance that is required for a particular job, and a job specification should give information about the behaviour, knowledge and skills that are expected of an employee who works in it. When all of this has been collected, it is possible to make a training specification. This specifies that the training department must teach for the successful performance of the job, and also the best methods to use in the training period.
There are many different training methods, and there are advantages and disadvantages of all of them. Successful training performances depend on an understanding of the difference between learning about skills and training in using them. It is frequently said that learning about skills takes place “off the job” in classroom, but training in using these skills takes place “on the job,” by means of such activities as practice in the workshop.
It’s always difficult to evaluate(估计) the costs of a training programme. The success of such a programme depends not only on the methods used but also on the quality of the staff who do the training. The evaluation of management training is much more complex(复杂) than that.
67. To be successful in our training programme, we must understand the difference between .
A. a job description and a job specification B. what is taught, and how it is taught
C. the costs and the quality of the programme D. the training contents and training in using
68. According to passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. As there exist weak points in different departments of a firm, the training of its staff is highly necessary.
B. A training specification is based on the information collected from a job description and a job specification.
C. Training in using skills and learning about skills usually do not happen at the same time.
D. It’s easier to evaluate management training than to evaluate the training of workers and technicians.
69. The best title for the passage might be .
A. Staff training and its evaluation B. A successful training programme
C. How to describe and specify a job D. The importance of training the staff
70. From the passage we know the success of a training programme lies in .
A. the training methods and the quality of the training staff
B. the performance of the trainees in the programme
C. the places where the training programmes take place
D. the way to evaluate the training programme
