23、 turn on the television, listen to the radioor open a newspaper or a magazine, we are bombarded with advertisements. They invite us to trya new type of orange juice, wear X-brand jeans or watch the latest film. They beg us to noticethe difference and discover the advantages. They exist to make us wa
24、nt what they are selling.Strangely, the more we are exposed to advertising, the less we notice it. We get so used toseeing advertisements everywhere that they become largely invisible, as if they were another partof our everyday lives. But does that mean that we are no longer affected by them?One ad
25、vertising expert believes that the special power of advertising lies in the fact thatwe do not pay much attention to it. Dr. Krugman, who was head of research for a major advertisingcompany for many years, says that the less we notice ads, the more we are affected by them. Dr.Krugman believes that w
26、hen we stop noticing advertisements, we lower our defenses, allowing themessages of the advertisements to be taken in and stored, ready to be triggered into action atthe right moment. He says that the effects of advertising on the individual are small, but overa period of time they have a powerful e
27、ffect on the masses.A market analyst says that all advertising, no matter how innocent, is misleading in someway.When asked about the power of advertising in research surveys, most people agree that it works,but not on them. Almost everyone believes that they have complete control over how thousands
28、 ofads they see every day affect them.51. Ads exist to make people want _.A. a new type of orange juice B. X-brand jeansC. to watch the latest film D. what they advertise52.

30、hen asked about the power of ads, most people agree that ads are ineffective on _.A. individuals B. masses C. others D. themPassage TwoPassage TwoLike most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not untilin my late thirties that I made this important discovery: gi
31、ving away makes life so much moreexciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. Ifan idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in andmake the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away
32、is that it is almostimpossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the returnoften comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an importantspecial delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrot
33、e thepostmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a newbusiness I was starting. I was told atthe window that there were noboxes left, and that mynamewould have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in thedoorway. He
34、 had overheard our conversation. “Wasnt it you that wrote us that letter a yearago about delivering a special delivery to your home? ” I said yes. “Well, you certainly aregoing to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don t know what aletter like that means to us. We usu
35、ally get nothing but complaints.”56. From the passage, we understand that _.A. the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirtiesB. the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than giversC. the author received the same education as most people d
36、uring his childhoodD. the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting57.

39、it was the special deliveryB. it was the post-office boxC. it was the note of appreciation he wroteD. it was he who wrote him a letter a year agoPassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of lifes essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of th
40、e day, we have all been told, is as necessaryas putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest yearsfor
41、which figures are available, the number of people who didn t have breakfast increased by33 percentfrom 8.8 million to 11.7 millionaccording to the Chicago-based Market ResearchCorporation of America.For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several
42、 studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, theremay be nothingwrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance.” said ArnoldE. Bender, the former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London,“nor doesgiving people breakfast i
43、mprove performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisinglyinadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” saysone researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor”.61. The passage is ma
44、inly concerned with _.A. a study of the Chicago-based Market Research CorporationB. one of lifes essentialsC. latest figures of people who dont eat breakfastD. breakfast and human health62. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _.A. several studies have been done in the past few
45、 yearsB. not eating breakfast does no harm to ones healthC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning may be good for health63. In the third paragraph, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.” means_.A. anyone without breakfast does improve his p
46、erformanceB. not giving people breakfast improves performanceC. people having breakfast do improve their performanceD. having breakfast does not improve performance, either64. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _.A. stories about breakfastB. written works on a particular subjectC.
47、any printed materialsD. the modern novels of American65. What is implied but not stated by the author is that _.A. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenB. breakfast does not affect performanceC. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonD. People who dont
48、eat breakfast have increasedPassage FourPassage FourEach day, computers help millions of people do their jobs more effectively. For example, theycan help managers decide on a future course of action, and they can then help with the follow-upchecks on performance to see if planned goals are being ach
49、ieved. By using accurate and timelyfacts supplied by data base management software, a manager can do a better job of identifyingproblems and opportunities. And managers may not need to spend as much time in controlling whena computer can respond with a triggered report if actual performance varies f
50、rom what was planned.The time saved in controlling may allow managers to give more attention to employees concerns,and this, in turn, may result in improved morale (士气).But employment benefits certainly arent restricted to managers. Healthcare researchers andother scientists also use computers to co
51、nduct research into complex problem areas that couldnt otherwise be studied. Lawyers use online legal data banks to locate precedent ( 先前的) casesin order to serve clients better. Salespeople can receive more timely information about productsin stock, can promise customers that their sales orders wil
52、l be handled promptly, and can thusimprove their sales performance because of the computer system. And the job duties of some officeand factory workers have changed from routine, repetitive operations to more varied and appealingtasks through computer usage. For example, office workers who understan
53、d text processing,computing, and data communication usually have vital roles and are given critical office functionsto perform.66. Which of the following examples shows the controlling function of a computer?A. Helping managers decide on a future course of action.B. Helping managers check if planned
54、 goals are reached.C. Helping managers save time in writing a report.D. Helping managers design a spreadsheet package.67.
