22、er awareness. This approach of sales promotion is known as image advertisement. The image advertisement attempts to create a positive and easy-to-imagine logo to boost sales.

23、the advertisement.Question: The professor gives an example to illustrate basic functions of “image advertisement“.

25、les brains.

26、o recreate any logo or image on a cookie in order to attract those who want something special, especially children.

Then state which solution you recommend and explain why.（分数：5.00）_正确答案：()解析：The woman locked herself out of her dorm room, but the worst thin

29、g is that she was in a hurry to finish her paper, which is due tomorrow morning. There are two possible solutions for her. She can go to the library and check out relevant books to finish her paper or she can find her roommate and get the key. Personally speaking, I would choose the second solution,

30、 because all of the most important references are locked in her dorm, and she needs these documents to complete her paper - not the books in the library. Also, finding her roommate for the key is a shortcut. Doing this wont take her too long. 听力原文 M: Hey there, whats bothering yon? W: Gosh! I am loc

31、ked out of my room and the key is inside the room. The worst thing is that I am in a hurry to finish my sociology paper, which Im supposed to turn in tomorrow morning. M: I see. It wont be that bad. Right now is finals season, and the library is open 24 hours. You can find whatever materials you nee

32、d for your research in the library. I am sure you will submit your paper on time. W: I dont doubt that I can find the sources I need in the library. But the thing is that most of my relevant books and references are in my dorm. I marked off all the important information in the books and jotted down

33、notes on my draft. M: I know what you mean. It happens sometimes. I used to lock myself out but I always got the key from my roommate. I know you are living in a double room, so you probably want to find your roommate and get the key. W: Oh, thats right. But shes rehearsing for a concert tomorrow, a

34、nd Im afraid to interrupt her to get the key from her.6.Question: summarize the lecture and explain how the long distance navigation helps animals migrate and identify location.（分数：5.00）_正确答案：()解析：Some species like birds possess navigational ability which allows them to travel long distances. For ex

35、ample, wild ducks migrate at night and navigate by their sight. They orient themselves by looking at different groups of stars and thus fly in the right direction. Moreover, some species like salmon travel by smell. They remember the scent released from the soil or plants in the stream of river; the

36、refore, they can find their home and lay their eggs after having left years ago. 听力原文 W: The long-distance navigational abilities of animals have fascinated humans for centuries and challenged scientists for decades. During distant migrations, animals navigate by two ways: by sight or by smell. Some

37、 species like birds travel or migrate by sight, especially at night since most of them cannot migrate during the day. Therefore, birds develop a star compass capability when they are quite young. They use stars as a visual cue to determine compass directions. For example, wild ducks living in Americ

38、a are typical night-migrating birds. They learn and orient themselves while flying by many parts of the sky, rather than using information supplied by any single star. Different spatial relationships among the stars can help them distinguish their flying direction. In addition to the ability of sigh

39、t navigation, some species like salmon possess an astonishing ability to travel long distance by smell. Salmon migrate vast distances by following scent released from plants or soil in the river. Therefore, they swim back to their birthplace, even years later, to reproduce or lay their eggs in their home territory. In this way, salmon depends on unique smells or chemicals released from materials in the river to travel.
