第1题,1.??<font face="Arial">Albert Einstein had a great effect on
science and history, greater than what only a few other men have
achieved. An American university president once commented that
Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It
may be some time before the average mind understands fully the
identity of time and space and so on---but even ordinary men
understand now that the universe is something larger than ever
before.<br />By 1994 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He
accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of
Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited
opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by
the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery of war
affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing
little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in
1918 was he able to get back to work.<br />In the years following
World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the
head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In
1921he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the
rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a
Jew.<br /></font>

第2题,2.??<font face="Arial"> Brazil has become one
of the developing world’s greatest successes at reducing
population growth-but more by accident than design. While countries
such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil
has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at
Harvard. <br /> Brazil’s population growth
rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a
year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7
children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still
further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many
other Third World countries. <br /> Martine puts
it down to, among other things, soap operas(通俗电视连续剧)and
installment(分期付款)plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an
important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate.
Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas.
Globo, Brazil’s most popular television network, shows three
hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least
one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living
the high life in big cities. <br />“Although they have never
really tried to work in a message towards the problems of
reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values-not many
children, different attitudes towards sex, women working,”
says Martine. “They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and
made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other
values, which were put into a very attractive package.” <br
/> Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to
encourage the poor to become consumers. “This led to an
enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was
incompatible(不相容的)with unlimited reproduction,” says
Martine.</font>
A. <font face="Arial">by educating its citizens </font>
B. by careful family planning <br />
C. by developing TV programmers
D. by chance
A. <p>haven’t attached much importance to birth control </p>
B. would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rate
C. haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their
population

TV </font>

C. people are drawn to their attractive package
D. they popularize birth control measures
A. <font face="Arial">The increase in birth rate will promote
consumption. </font>
B. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.
C. Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory
D. A country’s production is limited by its population
growth.

第3题,3.??<font face="Arial">The appeal of advertising to buying
motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may
be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because
of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to
people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by
advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some
of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of
consumers’ money.<br />Sometimes advertising is intentionally
misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to
dieters(节食者)with the message that there were fewer
calories(热量单位,大卡)in every slice. It turned out that the bread was
not dietetic(适合于节食的), but just regular bread. There were fewer
calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same
number of calories in every loaf.<br />On the positive side,
emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real concerns.
Consider fire insurance. Fire security of knowing that property is
protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a
worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the
quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads,
they will benefit from the advertising.<br />Each consumer must
evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product
important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to
appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product.
Consumers still control the final buying decision.</font>
A. keeping a balance between quality and price
B. <font face="Arial">convincing him of their low price</font>
C. appealing to his buying motives<br />
D. stressing their high quality
A. the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same
B. thin slices of bread could contain more calories
C. <font face="Arial">the loaf was cut into regular slices</font>
D. the bread was not real bread
A. advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things
they don’t need
B. the buying motives of consumers are controlled by
advertisements<br />
C. sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needs
D. <font face="Arial">fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile
investmen<font face="Arial">t</font></font>
A. be familiar with various advertising strategies
B. <font face="Arial">think carefully about the benefits described
in the advertisements</font>
C. guard against the deceiving nature of advertisements
D. avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal
A. ways to protect the interests of the consumer
B. how to make a wise buying decision
C. <font face="Arial">the function of advertisements in promoting
sales </font>
D. the positive and negative aspects of advertising

第4题,4.??<font face="Arial">Although the United States covers so much
land and the land produces far more food than the present population
needs, its people are by now almost entirely and urban society. Less
than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry
(林业) , and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and
large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town
may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town
may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most
Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population
now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities with their
suburbs) of more than a million people each ---- a larger proportion
than in Germany or England, let alone France. The statistics (统计) of
urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so
many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to
work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town
continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled
with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of
country becomes a suburb. But most and more the typical American
lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment. <br
