5、e morally objective. Perhaps it is more helpful to look at specific issues 9 rather than the social impact of advertising in the general. 10 (分数:25.00)解析:satisfysatisfies解析 语法错误。此处 that the production.then satisfy是定语从句,修饰名词 desires,表示“消费品生产能满足的需求”。为保持时态一致,satisfy 需向前面的动词creates看齐,且此处从句的主语是单数意义的词,所以应
6、该用第三人称单数 satisfies。解析:forof解析 词汇错误。此处考查的是 accuse的动词搭配。accuse.of 是固定搭配,意思为“控告,控诉”。所以要将 for改为 of。解析:thinkwho解析 语法错误。此处考查的是定语从句的用法。people 是先行词,think that.things是定语从句的内容,很明显此处缺少一个关系代词,且该关系代词在定语从句中作主语,不可省略。其实通过观察不难发现,people 后接两个由 and连接的定语从句,后一个从句的引导词也是who,所以此处增加 who为最佳答案。本句大意是“其他人控诉广告创造了一个物质主义社会,在这样的社会里,
7、人们认为幸福就是拥有,人人都痴迷于购物。”解析:andbut解析 语篇错误。根据本句含义,我们可知作者在拿社会的两个方面做对比,一方面是私人物品充裕,另一方面是公共事物被忽视。下文破折号后的内容也表明了这个社会里“公”与“私”的明显对比,此处在语义上表转折,所以要将 and改为 but。解析:onat解析 词汇错误。此处考查 at the expense/cost, of的固定搭配,意思为“以为代价”。解析:politicalpolitically解析 词汇错误。people 是名词,前面有 political和 unsatisfied来修饰。但 political不是用来修饰 people的
8、,此处并非政客的意思,而是指在政治上没有获得满足的人们,故应该是用副词 politically修饰形容词 unsatisfied, 因此要改为 politically。此句意为“还有人认为,广告“贿赂”那些政治上未得到满足的人们,从而导致政治冷漠和民主削弱。”解析:causednot解析 语篇错误。第二段谈论了社会变革和广告之间的关系。原句表示“主要的社会变革是由广告引起的”,而第二分句提到,广告遵循社会趋势而不是创造社会趋势,很明显两句话之间是矛盾的。而根据第一段最后一句的提示(然而很多人认为这些批评夸大了广告对社会的影响),可知错误的是第一分句,故将第一句改为否定含义,增加 not,使上下
9、文语义完整通顺。解析:resolvableunresolvable解析 语篇错误。接下来谈到的两个问题,作者用了 difficult to answer和 whether等词,这表明这些事件并不是能确切定性的,所以 resolvable无从谈起。此处改为unresolvable,符合语义,指的是“两个无法解决的问题”。解析:objectiveobjectionable解析 词汇错误。objective 是形容词,意思为“客观的,真实的”,objectionable也是形容词,意思为“反对的,讨厌的”。materialism 是一种唯物至上的思想,在道德观上看是消极否定的,一般情况下应该是遭到反对的,所以此处改为 objectionable。解析:the the 解析 词汇错误。此处考查的是固定搭配 in general的用法,意思为“总体,大体上”,因此要删掉 the。
