Advertisement aims to increase people“s awareness and arouse interest, it tries to in-form and to persuad

10、e. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly

11、cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this cen

12、tury. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to

13、be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less. It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When

14、 the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to

15、them.（分数：10.00）(1).Advertisement is often used to _.（分数：2.00）A.deceive customersB.increase productionC.arouse suspicionD.push the sale(2).The word “media“ (in the first paragraph) includes _.（分数：2.00）A.the pressB.televisionC.radioD.all of the above(3).Advertisement is mainly paid for by _.（分数：2.00）A

18、g in space. Food is weightless, just as men are. Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic. There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from traveling

19、 in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn“t pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into a man“s eyes or into the spaceship“s instruments. If any of the instruments

20、is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home. As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But b

21、e careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep.

41、 For Spain, Italy and Greece it is the largest 2 of foreign exchange, and even for Britain, it is the fourth.

The whole world community appears to be no more than a large global village, where the people of different nations come together with different cultural backgrounds and values. 1 While engaging themselves in cultural exchange, they seek common develo

47、pment in a harmonious and respectful relationship. 2 Cultural exchange is by no means a process of losing one“s own culture to a foreign culture, but one of enriching each other“s national cultures.
