8、Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.

　　Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, “I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half." Now, all parts of an advertising programme are properly measured and researched.

What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Today's advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader's attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humour is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.

1. The purpose of advertising is ____.

A. to increase product sales

B. to make a product much better

C. to spend more money

D. to reduce the production

2. Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined phrase "hand in hand"?

A. Here and there.                B. Again and again.

C. As usual.                     D. At the same time.

3. What is meant by what managers said in the second paragraph?

A. A11 the money on advertising was wasted.

B. Not all the advertisements were well designed.

C.A11 the managers knew about advertising then.

D. Managers spent no money on advertising.

4. What does the writer think of advertising?

A. Useless.            B. Unnecessary.           C. Important.               D. Wasteful.

6、The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old .By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work, Today women marry younger and have fewer children Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances (家用電器) and convenience foods.

This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each them.

1．According to the passage, around the year1990 most women married__________.

A．a(chǎn)t about twenty-five                                    B．in their early fifties

C．a(chǎn)s soon as possible after they were fifteen     D．a(chǎn)t any age from fifteen to forty-five

2．When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother__________.

A．would expect to work until she died

B．was usually expected to take up paid employment

C．would he healthy enough to take up paid employment.

D．was unlikely to find a job even if she now likely.

3．Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to__________.

A．marry so that they can get a job                  

B．Leave school as soon as they can

C．give up their jobs for good after they are married

D．continue working until they are going to have a baby

4．According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to__________.

A．stay at home after leaving school                  B．marry men younger than themselves

C．start working again later in life                     D．Marry while still at school

5、So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.

　　Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.

　　Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.

　　If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”

　　When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teachers fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.

1. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.

　　A. it is one of the most difficult school courses

　　B. students spend endless hours in reading

　　C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance

　　D. too much time is spent in teaching about reading

2. The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.

　　A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students

　　B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading

　　C. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading

　　D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable

3. The underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“________”.

　　A. inquiry　      B. observation　　     C. control　　　　 D. suspicion

4. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.

　　A. children become highly motivated

　　B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable

　　C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge

　　D. reading enriches children’s experience

5. The main idea of the passage is that ________.

　　A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read

　　B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible

　  C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught

　　D. reading is more complicated that generally believed

4、Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient - no matter where he or she may be.

　　Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms（癥狀）are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis（遠(yuǎn)程診斷）will be based on real physiological data（生理數(shù)據(jù)）from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.

　　Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural (countryside) care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need --- especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.

　　But there is one problem. Bandwidth（寬帶）is the limiting factor for sending complex （復(fù)雜）medical pictures around the world, --- CU photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.

　　Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common.

1. The writer chiefly talks about ________ .

　　A. the use of telemedicine             　　B. the on -lined doctors

　　C. medical care and treatment              　　D. communication improvement

2. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

　　A. Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.

　　B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.

　　C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.

　　D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.

3. The “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that ________ .

　　A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures

　　B. the second - generation of Internet has not become popular yet

　　C. communication satellites can only deal with short - term needs

D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care
