第二部分。阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并
在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew
out of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or foucs, on doing
one specific job
Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected
with farming He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold hiscrops.
At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm However, he didn’t make the
bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards. make the plows(梨),
or any of the
other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized
in doing each of those things
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr.Plowright. Using what he knew about
farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier.
Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in make
in greatly good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow
for one of my plows.
How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of
course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract
customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood
and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information
people needed to find Mr.Plowright and his really good plows.
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand
years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers
would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.
A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might
say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. he second medium
was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today.
Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as
a bell, were used to get people’s attention
A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone,
probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of activity.
In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their
products. Often this primitive form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship
loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came
from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from
a TV or radio commercial into day’s world .
41.What probably led to the start of advertising?
A.The discovery of iron
B.The specialization of labor
C.The appearance of new jobs
D.The development of farming techniques
42.To advertise his plows,Mr. Plowright
A.praised his plows in public
B.placed a sign outside the shop
C.hung an arrow pointing to the shop
D.showed his products to the customers
43.The write makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to
A.explain the origin of advertising
B.predict the future of advertising
C.expose problems in advertising
D.provide suggestions for advertising
44.In ancient Egypt,a crier was probably someone who
A.owned a ship
B.had the loudest voice
C.ran a shop selling goods to farmers
D.functioned like today’s TV or radio commercial
45.The last two paragraphs are mainly about
A.the story of advertising
B.the benefits of advertising
C.the early forms of advertising
D.the basic design of advertising
B
Below is a selection from a popular science book
If blood is red, why are weins(静脉)blue?
Actually,veins are not blue at all, they are more of a clear. yellowish colour.
Although blood locks red when it’s outside the body, when it`s sitting in a vein
near the surface of the skin,it’s more of a dark reddish purple colour.
At the
right depth, these bloos-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding
skin, making them look blue comparison
Which works harder, your heart or your brain?
That kind of depends on whether you’re busy thinking or busy exercising. Your
heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over
a lifetime to fill supertanker. But,in the long run ,your brain probably tips it,
because even when you’re sitting
Sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes
four to five times as much blood to feed it.
Why do teeth fall out, and why don’t they grow back in grown-ups?
Baby(or “,milk”) teeth do not last long ;they fall out to make room for
bigger ,stronger adult teeth later on Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged,
decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you’re
done When they’re gone ,they’re gone .This is because nature figures you’re set
for life ,and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.
Do old people shrink as they age?
Yes and no .many people do get shorter as they age ,But ,when they do, it isn’t
because they’re shrinking all over .They simply lose height as their spine( 脊
柱 )become shorter and
more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity(重
力).Many(but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older Men lose an average
of 3-4cm in height as they age ,while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to
be 200 years old
would you keep shrinking till you were .like 60cm tall like a little
boy again? No, because old people don’t really shrunk! It is not that they are growing
backwards--- their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter,
it’s because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often ,become more bent any
curved.
Why does spinnin make you dizzy(眩晕的)?
Because your brain gets confused between what you’re seeing any what you’re
feeling, The brain senses that you’re spinning using special gravity and motion
sensing orgaos in your inner ear ,which work together with your eyes to keep your
vision and balance stable .But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes cut
of control, and your brain you’re moving while you’re not!
Where do feelings and emotions come from?
Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system .All mammals
have this brain area —from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic
emotions like fear, pain and pleasure .But since human feelings also involve
other ,newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal
to the placket.
If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?
Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them ,And as far as your body
is concerned, it’s use it. or lose it”! It’s not that exercise makes you healthy;
it’s more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.
46. What is the colour of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?
A. Blue
C. Red
B. right yellow
D. Dark reddish purple.
47. Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?
A. Because their spine is in active use.
B. Because they are more easily affected by gravity.
C. Because they keep growing backwards.
D. Because their spine becomes more bent.
48. Which of the following statements about our brain is true?
A. In the long run, our brain probably works harder than our heart .
B. When our brain senses the spinning , we will feel dizzy.
C. The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans.
D. Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain.
49. What is the main purpose of the selection?
A. To give advice on how to stay healthy.
B. To provide information about our body.
C. To challenge new findings in medical research.
