A
Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I knew of .It serves directly to assist a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable price，thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living .By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labor , and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment .It 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 most important of all，advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the produces 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 advertisements，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 what 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 advertising because it persuades rather than informs．He was drawing excessively fine distinctions．Of 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 persuasive―advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention．But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants．
36.By the first sentence of the passage the author means that ．
A．he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising
B. everybody knows well that advertising is money consuming
C．advertising costs money like everything else
D．it is worthwhile to spend money on advertising
37．The underlined word‘it’in the second paragraph stands for ．
A. the article． B．the advertiser．
C．the advertisement．D．the proof．
38.The author deems that the well-known TV personality is ．
A. very precise in passing his judgment on advertising
B．interested in nothing but the buyers’ attention
C．correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information
D．obviously partial in his views on advertising
39．In the anther’s option，
A. advertising can seldom bring material benefit to man by providing information
B．advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over
C．there is nothing wrong with adverting in persuading the buyer
D．the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement
B
One thing the tour books don’t
tell you about London is that 2000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from
the city about two centuries ago after developers 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 York’s Central Park last year counted 14 species of mammals. A similar survey conducted 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 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 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 without 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)the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.
40. The passage is mainly concerned with_____.
A．wildlife returning to large cities B．foxes returning to London
C．wild animals living in zoos D. a survey of wildlife in New York
41．It can be inferred from the passage that
A. Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos
B．Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city
C．Londoners file trying to move wild animals back to the countryside
D．Londoners have welcomed the wild birds，but found foxes a problem
42．According to the passage, the number of species of wildlife in NewYork's Central Park ．
A．is slowly decreasing B．competes favorably with other cities
C．is on the same level as before D．has more than doubled in the last century
43．Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife returning to the cities?
A．Food is plentiful in the cities．
B．Wildlife is appreciated in the cities．
C．Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities．
D．Air and water quality has improved in the cities．

Shopping 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 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 found 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 doesn’t 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 it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used 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 package 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 interest
46. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A. The way to promote the goods.
B. the discovery of a genius
C. 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. Disadvantage of products
C. Effect of packaging on shopping D. Brand names and shopping tricks

“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 believes that is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is, In Mollie’s 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 aren’t telling a story, you’re a very dead writer 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. I’ve told stories all my life. I had a school 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, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have 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 Mollie’s ambition (理想) and 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 dirty hands all over my childhood. I’ll 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 that’s important, because children now know so much so early that romance can’t 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.
49. In Mollie Hunter’s 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. The absence of a story.
50. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?
A. She didn’t expect to become a writer. B. She didn’t enjoy writing stories.
C. She didn’t have any particular ambitions.
D. She didn’t respect her teacher’s views.
51. In comparison with children of earlier years , Mollie feels that children are___.
A．more intelligent B．better informed
C．1ess eager to learn D．1ess interested in reality
52.What’s the writer's purpose in this text?
A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books．
B．To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s books
C．To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience．
D．To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.

Drunken driving-sometimes called
America’s socially accepted form of murder―has become a national epidemic(流行病)．Every
hour of every day about three Americans on
average are killed by drunken
drivers，adding up to an incredible 250,000
Over the past ten years．A
drunken driver is usually
referred to as one with O.1O -blood alcohol content or roughly three
beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours．Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part
of the America manly image and judges were lenient in most courts ,but the
drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies
,especially concerning young children ,that public opinion is no longer so tolerant(忍受)．
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21，reversing trend(逆转潮流)in the 1960s to reduce It to 18.After New Jersey lowered it to 18，the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled ,so the state recently upped it back to 21．
Reformers，however ,fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests many areas already ,to a marked drop in accidents，some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks．A bar in Massachusetts Was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was“obviously drunk” and later drove the road, killing a nine-year-old boy ．
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state , some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition(禁令)of alcohol that began in 1919，which President Hoover called the“noble experiment”。They forgot that legal
prohibition didn't stop drinking ,but encouraged political corruption(腐败)and organized crime．As with the booming drug trade generally ,there is no easy solution．
53．What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A．Young drivers were usually bad．
B．The legal drinking age should be raised．
C．Some drivers didn't surprise the legal drinking age．
D．Drivers should not be allowed to drink．
54．The underlined word“lenient”in the first paragraph means
A．merciful B．cruel C．serious D. determined
55. As regards drunken driving , public opinion has changed because
A. judges are no longer lenient
B． new laws are introduced in some states
C．drivers do not appreciate their manly image
D．the news media have raised public attention of the problem
