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 B. right yellow
C. Red 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.
D. To report the latest discoveries in medical science.
C
The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. Almost from the moment is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother”—the real mother or the mother –substitute(母亲替代物).
During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心理的)thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes——one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites. Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact(接触)comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesn’t “rub”as well as does soft cloth. Prolonged(长时间的)“contact comfort”with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.
According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust. If the baby is pare into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace(拥抱)as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less time holding onto “its mother.”
50. Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?
A. Warmth. B. Milk. C. Contact. D. Trust.
51. After the two weeks of their life, baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is .
A. Larger in size B. closer to them
C. less frightening and less disturbing D. more comfortable to rub against.
52. What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”?
A. Attention. B. Softness.
C. Confidence. D. Interest.
53. It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure, .
A. it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys.
B. it spends more time screaming to get rewards.
C. it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting.
D. it cares less about whether its mother is still around.
54. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. give the reasons for the experiment
B. present the findings of the experiment
C. introduce the method of the experiment
D. describe the process of the experiment
D
By 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get——a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen——teaching English.
School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.
But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class——seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me .I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.
In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.
I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.
When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”
“You had nothing to say to them.” he repeated. “No wonder they’re bored. why not get to the meat of the literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher.
As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson’s words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”
Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.
55. It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 .
A. the writer became an optimistic person
B. the writer was very happy about her new job
C. it was rather difficult to get a job in the USA
D. it was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey
56. According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writer’s problem as a new teacher?
A. She had blind trust in what she learnt at college.
B. She didn’t ask experienced teachers for advice.
C. She took too much time off to eat and sleep.
D. She didn’t like teaching English literature.
57. What is the writer’s biggest worry after her taskmaster’s observation of her class?
A. She might lose her teaching job.
B. She might lose her students’ respect.
C. She couldn’t teach the same class any more.
D. She couldn’t ignore her students’ bad behavior any more.
58. Which of the following gives the writer a sense of mild victory?
A. Her talk about symbolism sounded convincing.
B. Her students behaved a little better than usual.
C. She managed to finish the class without crying.
D. She was invited for a talk by her boss after class.
59. The students behaved badly in the writer’s classes because .
A. they were eager to embarrass her.
B. she didn’t really understand them
C. they didn’t regard her as a good teacher.
D. she didn’t have a good command of English
60. The taskmaster’s attitude towards the writer after his observation of her class can be best described as _____.
A. cruel but encouraging B. fierce but forgiving
C. sincere and supportive D. angry and aggressive

Never Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
Want to put off studying for the physics test? Or writing that thirty-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology? Sure you do? And who wouldn’t? But it’s still a silly idea to put off doing something and a future time. Here’s why…
61. The task will be still the same. It won’t be any more fun and you still won’t want to do it. As the deadline gets closer and closer, the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven’t started the work. And the stress increases. Now not only do you have to write that paper, you have to do it under great pressure.
62. Before you start, it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished. But you know what? You’re probably miscalculate, Get started - maybe on a small piece - and you’ll discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought. Result ? You won’t experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to. Things are guaranteed ----100 percent ----to get better.
63._ if you leave your work until the night before it's due, you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor. Professors regularly give advice _or at least a few useful tips _during office hours. Unfortunately, though. they don't usually hold office hours at midnight, so you'll be out of luck. When you discover the night before the midiem, that you have no idea how to do the question that will count for two-thirds of your grade.
64. Ever wonder why the professor assigns the paper two weeks before it’s due? It’s because of the expects you to be thinking about the issue, or doing the research, for two weeks. No not every waking moment, but at least some of the time. After all, the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking. Most college papers require you to have some kind of idea, then to spend some time thinking about it, revising it, and polishing it. When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute, your ideas are half-baked. And your professor will know it.
65. If you put things off till the minute, you might find that you haven’t budgeted enough minute to finish the necessary tasks. It’s the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it’ll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise—like illness, family problems, computer breakdowns, trouble at work, and all the other things—as you’re thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test. If you keep delaying, you don’t allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse(不利的) effect on your ability to complete your assignment.

One possible student version:
One Thing I’m Proud of
I still remember how I became a good table tennis player.
The first day I went to high school, I saw some of my classmates playing table tennis. Amazed at how skillful they were, I was determined to be just as good. Later on, I often watched them carefully to learn their techniques. Then I kept practicing until I became confident enough to challenge the good players. At the end of the term I became one of the best players in my class.
I am really proud of this experience, because it helps me realize that we all can fulfill our potential and achieve our goals through hard work. It also helps me better understand the proverb "Practice makes perfect.”
