Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 What do

30、consumers really want? Thats a question market researchers would love to answer. But since people dont always say what they think, marketeers would need direct access to consumers thoughts to get the truth. Now, in a way, that is possible. At the “Mind of the Market“ laboratory at Harvard Business S

31、chool, researchers are looking inside shoppers skulls to develop more effective advertisements and marketing pitches. Using imaging techniques that measure blood flow to various parts of the brain, the Harvard team hopes to predict how consumers will react to particular products and to discover the

32、most effective ways to present information. Stephen Kosslyn, a professor of psychology at Harvard, and business school professor Gerald Zalt-man, oversee the lab. “The goal is not to manipulate peoples preferences,“ says Kosslyn, “just to speak to their actual desires. “ The groups findings, though

33、still preliminary, could radically change how firms develop and market new products. The Harvard group use position emission tomography(PET)scans to monitor the brain activity. These PET scans, along with other non-invasive imaging techniques, enable researchers to see which parts of the brain are a

34、ctive during specific tasks(such as remembering a word). Correlations have been found between blood flow to specific areas and future behavior. Because of this, Harvard researchers believe the scans can also predict future purchasing patterns. According to an unpublished paper the group produced, “I

35、t is possible to use these techniques to predict not only whether people will remember and have specific emotional reactions to certain materials, but also whether they will be inclined to want those materials months later. “ The Harvard group is now moving into the next stage of experiments. They w

36、ill explore how people remember advertisements as part of an effort to predict how they will react to a product after having seen an ad. The researchers believe that once key areas of the brain are identified, scans on about two dozen volunteers will be enough to draw conclusions about the reactions

37、 of specific segments of the population. Large corporationsincluding Coca Cola, Eastman Kodak, General Motors, and Hallmarkhave already signed up to fund further investigations. For their financial support, these firms gain access to the experiments but cannot control them. If Kosslyn and Zaltman an

38、d their team really can read the mind of the market, then consumers may find it even harder to get those advertising jingles out of their heads. 31 Which of the following statements can be the best title for this passage? （ A） Reading the Mind of the Market. （ B） Controlling the Consumers Preference

39、s. （ C） Improving the Styles of Advertising. （ D） Finding Out the Way to Predict. 32 Why do the Harvard researchers use scientific technology in the experiments? （ A） Because they dont believe the surveys done by the marketeers can lead to the truth. （ B） Because they want to find a direct way to pr

40、edict future purchasing patterns in the different market. （ C） Because they want to find out how the ads influence peoples brain activity and emotional responses etc. （ D） Because they expect that their experiments can basically alter the marketing strategies of products. 33 Which of the following i

41、s not true according to the passage? （ A） Sometimes people will conceal what they think when being questioned by the market researchers. （ B） Stephen Kosslyn and Gerald Zaltman overlook the experiments and criticize the purpose of the study. （ C） Harvard researchers have found some corresponding rel

42、ation between peoples brain and behavior. （ D） There are many large organizations endorsing and financing the Harvard groups further investigations. 34 What does “to speak to“ in the last sentence but one of the second paragraph mean? （ A） To talk to. （ B） To say to. （ C） To communicate to. （ D） To

43、respond to. 35 The last sentence of this passage implies that_. （ A） If the experiments results can be applied to the practice, the customers will be very likely to buy things according to the ads. （ B） If the Harvard group can succeed in finishing the research, they will use it in attracting more a

44、nd more consumers into the market. （ C） The financial supporting corporations such as Coca Cola, General Motors can employ the experiments in their own marketing. （ D） The consumers may discover that those ads will always annoy them by jingling out of their heads and cause them headaches. 35 With th

45、e possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders. The prin

46、cipal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the mark of a brutal society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway. In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil. T

47、hroughout recorded history there have always been these extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others. For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly

48、 plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fa

49、te of the latter type of murderer. The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows that the death penalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remai
