When you watch television, you hear and see an a

14、dvertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost

15、 everywhere.In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be th

16、ese private businesses.Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping your name before the public.“ And some people thought that advertising was “truth well t

17、old.“ Now more and more people describe it in this way: Advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive (有说 服力的) description of goods, services and ideas by identified sponsors (明确的出资者) through various media.First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertise

18、ments we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usuall

19、y persuasive. Directly or indirectly it tells people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can do good to them. Fourth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a c

20、ompany, or an organization, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and nontraditional mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Nontraditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards (广告牌 ).21 T

21、he existence of the privately owned mass media depends financially on_.（A）the government（B） their owners families（C） advertisements（D）the audience22 According to the passage, who are most probably paying for the advertisements?（A）Companies.（B） Organizations.（C） Individuals.（D）All of the above.23 Whi

23、oups of people.（C） Advertising tells people to do something directly or indirectly.（D）The sponsors are always mentioned in the advertisements.24 The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good

24、land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population Other economists have argued that a large population gives more s

25、cope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population

26、 growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of go

27、vernment to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on hou

28、sing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.25 According to the passage, a large populatio

29、n will provide a chance for developing_.（A）agriculture（B） transport system（C） industry（D）national economy26 In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate_.（A）goes up（B） is decreasing（C） remains stable（D）is out of control27 According to the passage slowly rising birthrat

30、e perhaps is good for_.（A）a developed nation（B） a developing nation（C） every nation with a big population（D）every nation with a small population28 It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because（A）there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world（B

31、） underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development（C） different governments have different views about the problem（D）even developed countries may have complex problems28 BDU=BUSINESS DAILY UPDATEWant to keep abreast (赶得上 ) of the dynamic pulse (有力的脉搏) of Chinas economy?

35、 travelers（C） Chinese people（D）China Daily reporters31 To get the information from BDU every day, you must_.（A）understand Chinese（B） know something about the mouse（C） know how to operate a computer（D）how to use a fax machine31 Americans have a sense of space, not of place. Go to an American home out

36、side the city, and almost the first thing you do is drift toward the picture window. How curious that the first compliment you pay your host inside his house is to say how lovely it is outside his house! He is pleased that you should admire his vistas. The distant horizon is not merely a line separa

37、ting earth from sky; it is a symbol of the future. The American is not rooted in his place, however lovely: his eyes are drawn by the expanding space to a point on the horizon, which is his future.By contrast, consider traditional Chinese homes. Blank walls surround it. Step behind the spirit wall a

38、nd you are in a courtyard with perhaps a very small garden around a corner. Once inside his private compound, you are wrapped in calm beauty, an ordered world of buildings, rock and decorative vegetation. But you have no distant view: nowhere does space open out before you. The Chinese is rooted in

39、his place. When he has to leave, it is not for the promised land on the terrestrial horizon, but for another world altogether along the vertical, religious axis of imagination. The majority of the Chinese people are engaged in the “root“ industry of producing food, and they do not leave their countr

40、y when it is in danger, being tied to their land.Homesickness is a recurrent theme in Chinese poetry. An American reader of translated Chinese poems may well be taken aback even put off by the frequency, as well as the sentimentality, of the lament for home. To understand the strength of this sentim

41、ent, we need to know that the Chinese desire for stability and rootedness in place springs from a history full of threat of war and natural disasters. By contrast, Americans move, for the most part, willingly. Their homesickness for their hometowns is really a longing for a childhood to which they c

42、annot return; in the meantime the future beckons, and the future is “out there“, in open space. When we criticize American rootlessness, we tend to forget that it is a result of ideals we admire, namely social mobility and optimism about the future. When we admire Chinese rootedness, we forget that

43、the word “place“ means both a location in space and a position in society: to be tied to a place is also to be bound to ones station in life. Space symbolizes hope, place, achievement and stability.32 For Americans, what does the distant horizon symbolize?（A）rootedness（B） rootlessness（C） the future（

44、D）the horizon33 When in danger, the majority of Chinese tend to_.（A）leave their country（B） be tied to their land（C） move to a safer place（D）rebuild their homeland34 According to the passage, what causes the Chinese desire for stability?（A）a history full of threat of war and natural disasters（B） the

45、root industry of producing food（C） the promised land on the terrestrial horizon（D）social stability and pessimism about future35 According to the passage, what does American rootlessness result from?（A）the root industry of producing food（B） the promised land on the terrestrial horizon（C） social stabi

46、lity and pessimism about future（D）social mobility and optimism about the future二、Cloze35 Children are curious about the world around them. For example, they want to know【36】their hearts beat.
