VIII. Directions: Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points) ? Questions 61~65 are based on the following passage. ? When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement. When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find a advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertisement board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere. In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not five them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses. Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping you name before the public.” And some people thought that advertising was “truth well told.” Now more and more people tend to define it in this way: Advertising is the paid, nonpersonal (非亲自的), and usually persuasive (有说服力的) presentation of goods, services and ideas by identified sponsors through various media. First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the ads we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is nonpersonal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it urges people to do something. All advertisements try to convince people that the product, idea, or service advertised can benefit them. Fourth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a corporation, or a committee, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and non-traditional mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Non-traditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards. ? 61. The existence of the privately owned mass media depends financially on the support of _____. A.? the government B.?? their owners’ families C.? advertisements D.? the audience 62. The passage seems to say that different definitions of advertising are given due to ______. A.? the change of time B.?? the subject of the advertisements C.? people’s age difference D.? people’s different perspective 63. According to the passage, who are most probably paying for the advertisements? ______. A.? Corporations. B.?? Committees. C.? Individuals. D.? All of the above. 64. Which of the following is considered nontraditional mass media? _______. A.? Newspapers B.?? The mail C.? Magazines D.? Films 65. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the features of advertisements is NOT true? ______. A.? Advertising must be honest and amusing B.?? Advertising is meant for large groups of people C.? There is the description of things advertised D.? The sponsors are always mentioned ? Questions 66~70 are based on the following passage. ? Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. Think how much practice that gets. Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country. Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. Some people try at home, with books and records or tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only twice or three times a week, learning it will take a long time. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford to do this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether they learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’ s work for him. ? 66. The advertisement says it would be easy to _______ . A.? speak your native language better B.?? keep in mind any foreign language C.? learn a foreign language within several weeks D.? learn by heart a foreign language 67. Nowadays most people want to learn _______. A.? about the country where a language is spoken B.?? to speak a foreign language C.? to read essays in the foreign language D.? to write in the foreign language 68. Before the 2nd World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to _______. A.? communicate with their foreign friends B.?? read the foreign newspaper C.? read the literary works of the country D.? talk with their foreign friends 69. If you only use the language twice or three times a week, ________. A.? it is impossible to learn it well B.?? it will take a long time to learn the language C.? you will never learn the language well D.? perhaps you will learn harsh language 70. ______ is very important whether a foreign language is learnt quickly or slowly.
