20、from some of the criticism of it, advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and a very considerable proportion of the world at large, live. Advertising is indispensable as a means of communicating with others, of telling them about the goods and services
21、that are provided, and of which most of them would never get to hear at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising is extremely helpful to promote a rising standard of living. In talking about advertising, one should not think only in terms of a commercial on television, or an advertisement
22、 in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest sense, advertising includes a host of other activities such as packaging, shop displays and in the sense of communication - even the spoken word of the salesman. After all, the resources of advertising are to be found in the market place. For many yea
23、rs it was considered that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the manufacture of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time span. In he competitive soci
24、ety in which we live, it is important that we go out and sell what we have, and advertising plays an important role in this aspect, whether selling at home or in export markets. About two percent of the UK gross national product is relied on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertis
25、ing tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Certainly, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential consumer, but if the article when purchased does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously exceedingly unlikely that the
26、 article will sell well. （分数：1.00）(1).According to the text advertising is important to_.（分数：0.20）A.every potential consumer in the worldB.large countries in the worldC.people with a high standard of livingD.a large number of people in the world(2).Advertising has its origins in_.（分数：0.20）A.shop win
27、dow displays and the wrapping of goodsB.face to face contact between sellers and buyersC.the communicative abilities of a trained sales personD.articles in newspapers and magazines(3).People have realized that resources are wasted if goods_.（分数：0.20）A.are not of lasting valueB.are not sold at a high
28、 priceC.remain unsold for a long timeD.remained unsold in export markets(4).The text makes a point that goods will sell well if_.（分数：0.20）A.advertisements show the true value of themB.enough money is spent on advertisingC.advertisements are well designedD.they are of high quality(5).The best title o
29、f this passage would be_.（分数：0.20）A.Benefits of AdvertisingB.A Brief History of Advertising in the UKC.Limitations of AdvertisingD.Production and AdvertisingFaces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could n
30、ot describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child, or even an animal, such as a pigeon, can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the
31、ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “ nice face“
32、looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “ nice person“ , you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, a
33、n American psychologists, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in peoples behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types people and deserved with such terms. People have always tried
34、 to “ type“ each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains or the heros role. In fact, the words “person“ and “personality“ come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask“. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can eas
35、ily tell the “good guys“ from the “bad guys“ because the two types differ in appearances as well as in actions. （分数：1.00）(1).By using the example of finger prints, the author tells us that_.（分数：0.20）A.people can learn to recognize facesB.people have different personalitiesC.people have difficulty in

37、ably knows best how to describe peoples personality?（分数：0.20）A.The ancient Greek audience.B.The movie actors.C.Psychologists.D.The modern TV audience.(4).According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person from another because _.（分数：0.20）A.people differ in their behavioral and
38、 physical characteristicsB.human fingerprints provide unique informationC.peoples behavior can be easily described in wordsD.human faces have complex features(5).Which of the following is the major point of the passage?（分数：0.20）A.Why it is necessary to identity peoples personality.B.Why it is possib
39、le to describe people.C.How to get to know people.D.How best to recognize people.Its very interesting to note where the debate about diversity is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate leaders; none of th
40、em is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand
41、the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesnt occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need. Likewise, I dont hea
42、r people in the academy saying. “ Lets go backward. Lets go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy ( which was never true we never had a meritocracy, although weve come close to it in the last 30 years) “. I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus had doubl
43、ed its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better becaus
44、e of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses. （分数：1.00）(1).The word “imperative“ in the first paragraph most probably refers to something_.（分数：0.20）A.superficialB.remarkableC.debatableD.essenti

46、 minoritiesC.be competitive in the world marketD.satisfy the demands of a growing population(4).It can be inferred from the passage that_.（分数：0.20）A.meritocracy can never be realized without diversityB.American political circles will not accept diversityC.it is unlikely that diversity will occur in
47、the U. S. mediaD.minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity(5).According to the passage, diversity can be achieved in American society by_.（分数：0.20）A.expanding the pool of potential employeesB.promoting policies that provide skills to employeesC.training more engin
