There are two main categories: the first is electronic media. It includes the radio, television, cinema and Internet. The radio’s main advantages are that it is cheap and it is an easy target since most of the stations are aimed at a particular market segment. On the other hand, one of the disadvantages is that the publicity reaches fewer people than commercial TV.Television is one of the most popular methods used today. Some of the points in favour of TV ads are: the public is targeted very efficiently, that is to say that advertisements are chosen depending on the program, for example: ads for sweets are associated with cartoons for children, alcohol is only publicized during adult viewing hours; the audience is very large; television allows visual drama to boast the product, which makes it seem more interesting, however exaggerating can make it seem ridiculous. In contrast, this process is the most expensive of all reaching during peak times and it provokes channel hopping since viewers don’t always sit to watch ads.Cinema has the same ups and downs as television except that the audience is limited. Internet advertising is low-priced and has an international coverage although some poorly developed countries have low access to it. On the other hand, this technique presents security problems made by hackers for credit and there is an enormous amount of competition.The second category is the print media, which includes newspapers, magazines, posters and billboards, direct mail and leaflets. The main conveniences in newspaper ads are that they are economical when you use the local ones; they are target selective and can be printed in color differing from the text, what attracts the reader’s attention. On the other hand the cost of these commercials grows if printed in national newspapers. The visual impact is not the same as on TV and finally readers may ignore ads.Ads in magazines are very target selective because they are often destined to a certain segment of the public. Another point in favour of magazine advertising is that they are read by more people and for a longer time than newspapers. But on the other hand this method is expensive but less than national dallies.Posters and billboards are the most popular ways of advertising. This is due to the fact that they are of a dominant size, they have a big frequency of exposure as well as a large audience. But some points against that type of advertising are that it is difficult to target the audience, the information given about the product is very limited and they can be damaged very easily.One of the conveniences in direct mail is that it targets very well particular customers, gives a personalized approach and is easy to measure effectiveness but it can be wrongly targeted and can be considered as “junk mail”.The last method is leaflets, it presents door-to-door coverage and clients are often tempted by special offers, although they are often thrown away and are only local. You can always find other methods and new ones are invented but these were the general ones.Comprehension1.The passage classifies the methods of advertisement into _____ categories.A. 3B. 4C. 2D. 52.According to the passage, we know that security problems to Internet advertising was causedby _____.A.the competitionB.the robbersC.the punksD.the hackers3.From the passage, the ads that attract the largest audiences is _____.A.cinema ads adsC.Internet adsD.Newspapers4.From the passage, we can infer that “junk mail” means _____.A.mails for adsB.mails from close friendsC.mails for helpD.mails from the hackers5.Which of the following statement is true?A.Television is the most popular methods of advertising.B.Advertising on national newspapers is the most expensive method.C.Posters and billboards are the most expensive of all methods.D.Ads in magazines are the most expensive of all methods.Word StudyComplete each sentence with a word or phrase given below (in its appropriate form if necessary). hacker provoke dominant pros and cons promotesegment hop boast coverage destined1.The Soviet Union is the _____ nation of Eastern Europe.2.The boy _____ that his bicycle was of the best quality of all the bicycles in the school.3.He claimed that it was her rudeness that _____ him to strike her.4.Do you have any idea how to _____ the sales of this product?5.Television has its widest _____ among the other mass media.6.

The author thinks that the millennial generation is a generation that primps, dyes, pulls and shapes, younger and with more vigor.2. Experian’s research finds that 43 percent of 6-to-9-year-olds are already using lipstick and lip gloss, 38 percent use hairstyling products and 12 percent use other cosmetics.3. This is a group that’s grown up on pop culture that screams, again and again, that everything, everything, is a candidate for upgrading. Ads for the latest fashions, makeup tips and grooming products are circulated with a speed and fury unique to this millennium —on millions of ads, message boards and Facebook pages.4. Statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show cosmetic-surgery procedures performed on those 18 and younger have nearly doubled over the past decade.5. The author, by ―level the playing field‖, means that standards of beauty are ubiquitous and people of all kinds have the same cosmetic options available to them.OutlineI.

Conserve is a Delhi non-profit organization recycling plastic bags into accessories. Anita Ahuja started it in order to clean up the streets of the Indian capital and help people who have problems.2. When Anita Ahuja’s homemade products were popular at a fair at the US embassy, she realized she had finally found a successful recipe and decided to venture into accessories.3. She, by using contracts in the Delhi government, got Conserve IDs for her ragpickers. She also got certificates of endorsement from Delhi’s chief minister and prominently displayed her own clout at the different units. She put together a group of garbage collectors, who, acting as middlemen, buy the plastic bags from 150 pickers in different pockets of the city. In this way, she ensured a regular supply of plastic bags.4. The bags are sliced open, then washed in detergent, dipped in basil-scented water and hung out in the sun to dry, and after that were layered and compressed by heat in an ovenlike contraption. Staff and professional tailors then cut them out and sew the sheets into Conserve’s belts, bags and wallets.5. It was difficult to train the trash pickers on the nuances of the different plastic bags because they spoke different dialects.6.

When Brittany and Robbie Berguist heard about a soldier overseas who couldn’t pay the phonebill for his calls home, they raised money by selling back old cellphones to be recycled. Since then, the siblings have sent more than 600,000 phone cards to troops and raised more than $ 5 million. For their philanthropic work, Brittany had been awarded so many community-service scholarships that she has enough to cover the entire cost of Stonehill College, and even the cost of graduate school.6.

According to the author, the G-20 summit is likely to be remembered not so much for the action taken as for the milestone it marked and the emerging global economic order it heralded.4.

Today, Amazon’s business in Britain is very large. It is receiving 1 million orders a day, having transformed itself into a giant shopping mall. It is now challenging all the major high street chains for the title of Britain’s biggest retailer.3. It is expanding very fast. Earlier this yea r it opened one of Europe’s largest warehouses in Swansea, 60% bigger than its existing monster-sized distribution center in Milton Keynes. But already the firm is seeking a site for another huge warehouse. It is tooling up for its next move, with the launch early next year of a low-cost, music download service that could rival Apple iTunes.4 The traditional way of online shopping in Britain is searching out the cheapest price for eachindividual purchase at price comparison websites and then ordering from a raft of different retailers. The author says that this way may now be redundant because Amazon offers the cheapest prices for most products.5. The main reason for Amazon’s offer of cheaper prices is the benefit of scale: no shops and no staff in them, and no carrying inventory in 500 different places at the same time. Huge volumes of business enable Amazon to get better commercial terms than anyone else.6. By ―the social aspect to shopping‖ the author means that a lot of customers want to be able to pop around to a local shop, talk about a product, speak to the shopkeeper and have a chit-chat.7. The out-of-town shopping centers and online retailers will cause the bankruptcy of local independent stores and the disappearance of money from the locality.8. According to Guardian Money, if customers buy all their Christmas presents on Amazon, they should be aware that if the item breaks down after six months, it appears that all the company will offer them back is 10% — 20% of the initial price.OutlineI. (1-4) Development of Amazon in Britain1. Transformation into a giant shopping mall2. Further expansion3. Price competitiveness4. Many online competitors’ decision to join Amazon’s marketplaceII. (5-6) Reasons for Amazon’s price competitiveness1. Benefit of scale2. Ability to get better commercial termsIII. (7-10) Impacts of Amazon’s development on Britain1. Posing a threat to Britain’s local independent stores2. Causing the loss of social contact in shopping3. Taking money out of the local areas4. Explanation given by Amazon’s Brian McBrideIV. (11-20) Problems with Amazon’s service1. No full protection of customers’ interests when products are found shoddy2. Case of David Handly3. Case of Ray FerrisLesson 33Answers to the QuestionsV. 1. D 2. D 3. A 4. CVI.1. Louis Gill has taken to laying out cots and mattresses between the shelter’s 174 registered beds to cope with the rush of homeless families brought to his doors by the financial crisis.2. According to Louis Gill, in the preceding year homeless families increased by 34 percent and homeless children increased by 24 percent.3. The author thinks that the recession has caused ravages including a surge in foreclosures and unemployment approaching 10 percent and driven thousands of families onto the streets.4. According to administration officials, the typical homeless person has changed to become less focused on the chronologically homeless or single individual homeless to somebody who is part ofa family whether it be a mother or a father, or a child in a homeless family.5. The life of homeless young women is particularly fraught with danger because they are at much greater risk of being victimized when they have no stable home. It can be more difficult to obtain needed services.6. They suggest that rural and suburban areas were particularly ill-equipped to cope with the new wave of homelessness7. The department has allocated $1.5 billion over the next three years to combat homelessness nationwide.OutlineI. (1-2) Specific example of Bakersfield Homeless Center1. Going beyond capacity to cope with the rush of homeless families2. Fast increase of homeless families and childrenII. (3-5) Change in the make-up of homeless people1. Gill’s idea about the changea.

The three lower courts criticize the law because the law does not have an exception for protecting the health of pregnant women.3. The Supreme Court upheld the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban4. They hold that the ban is harmful to women’s health and interferes with medical decision making and opens the floodgates for states to chip away at Roe.5. Jay Sekulow believes that state legislatures will now be emboldened to pass other restrictions, including ones requiring informed consent.6. According to David Masci, abortion could become a more visible issue in the next presidential election, and at the very least, the ruling will force candidates, who have already weighed in along partisan lines, to speak more clearly about where they stand7. If the majority comes to see the decision as the first step towards dismantling Roe, it would mobilize Americans in ways abortion opponents would regret.OutlineI. (1—3) Supreme Court’s ruling and its effect1. Illegality of partial-birth abortion2. Supreme Court’s ruling to uphold the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban3. Limited effect of the rulingII.

David Shipler’s description of the bleak world of the American working poor is a kind of domino model of a downward economic spiral.2. His book is based on his interviews of scores of people. The book lacks the first-person focus and angry wit of Nickel and Dimed. But poverty is in the details, and he lays those in abundance.3. Convenience stores in poor neighborhoods routinely advance cash to their customers at the at interest rates of about 20% for a two-week loan. If the debt can’t be paid, it’s gladly rolled over——for another 20%. One study in Illinois found that the average customer had 10 renewals of that kind, which meant that in the space of a few months, he or she owed twice as much in interest that had been borrowed.4. The essence of Shipler’s message is that working poverty is a seamless web of challenges, some personal, some erected by a society content to let the federal minimum wage languish at a $5.15 an hour.5. Unscrupulous bosses make workers falsify their time sheets so that they can work longer hours for the same pay. Labor contractors deduct exorbitant housing costs from the worker’s pay, but warehouse them in filthy barracks.6. Shipler’s solutions are a higher minimum wage, better job training and medical coverage for the almost 44 million who have none.7. The author says so because the working poor don’t vote in anything like the numbers of their more affluent neighbors, therefore carry no real weight and the economic situation is gloomy, the economic boom of the 90s is gone, the job creation is feeble, and the time limits on welfare are kicking in.OutlineI.

Each year America loses 11,000 to gun homicide, andthree times that number are injured.3. The reasons for Americans’inaction about gun violence problem are the gun lobby’s greatinfluence on the public and American s’ fear about an armed takeover. They are convinced that any form of gun control is a major step toward the total elimination of all guns.4. No, punishment alone isn’t enough because in most cases once they lose loved ones it is toolate, and because punishment doesn’t stop shooters intent on committing suicide following their rampage.5. They put the issue on the statewide ballot and won by a margin of 70 percent to 30 percent.6.

The crash was a stunning blow to Poland and threw the whole nation into grief. Poles mournedthe death of their leaders and united in their grief. Thousands massed outside the PresidentialPalace, laying flowers and lighting candles.5. Relationship between Poland and Russia has been strained ever since the Katyn ForestMassacre. The crash happened at the moment that the two countries were beginning to come to terms with the killing of Poland’s officers. So, the relationship took a chilling twist. For poles, it was a wound which is difficult to heal.6. The Law and Justice Party lost numerous important leaders in addition to the president.Although Mr. Kaczynski had been trailing far behind his opponent in the polls, the outpouring of sympathy from the mourning public might benefit his party in the moved-up presidential election.7. According to the article, Russia’s leaders, acutely aware of the potential fallout of the crash,immediately reached out to Poland with condolences. Mr. Putin left Moscow to meet Mr. Tusk at the site of the crash, and President Medvedev recorded an address to the Polish people, saying, ―All Russians share your sorrow and mouring.‖OutlineI.

The military situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated. The Taliban have grown in strength. It is widely expected General McChrystal will be requesting more troops.4. No. Obama’s dilemma is not as stark as has been posed in recent press accounts. The military has become far more nuanced when it comes to making requests of Presidents. The negotiations about what McChrystal can officially request will not take place anywhere near the public eye. It is very likely that more troops will be sent.

According to Ms. Wellington, Gen X’ers are attracted to their organizations for utterly traditional reasons: reputation of the organization, opportunities to advance.2. Catalyst and other research organizations caution that this age group has high demands for employers. If their demands are not met, they will leave. And they are highly sensitive to the way in which they are treated. If the Gen X’er believes that his employer is not making a commitment to him, he will leave.3.The survey found that more than 70 percent of them rated companionship, a loving family and enjoying life as extremely important. In contrast, fewer than 20 percent of them said earning a lot of money and becoming an influential leader were extremely important goals.4. According to Robert Morgan, the corporate loyalty is rising in the current economic climate partly because of job insecurities. Besides, there is the war for talent. As labor shortages intensified in recent years, employers have worked hard at retaining good workers.OutlineI.(1) Summary leadIncreasing job loyalty of Gen X’ersII.

The double standard in Paragraph 3 refers to the US different rules for the two financial crises. During the Asian financial crisis, the US bashed Hong Kong when its government intervened in August 1998 in the stock market to fend off the western investment banks and hedge funds bent on destroying the city’s currency. Yet only a month later, the US intervened in the market to bail out LTCM.3. The author thinks that the minor adjustment in voting rights in the World Bank and International Monetary Fund is symbolic of the increase of the east’s say in decision making in global economic affairs.4. Reminbi has gained an elevation in status. Over time , some countries will keep more Reminbi, making it more like reserve currency.5. The recent crisis shows that blindly seeking growth is dangerous.

It leads to high military costs abroad, skyrocketingsecurity costs at home, and the loss of trade as America’s goods become shunned overseas. All this causes an economic drain.3. If Americans travelled more, they’d better understand their place on this complex planet and fit in more comfortably, and eventually the U.S. wouldn’t need to spend as much as the rest of the world combined on its military to feel safe.4. Travel helps Americans celebrate, rather than fear, diversity of culture.5. Travel gives Americans a perspective that can translate, through the voting booth, into American policies that will not alienate them from the family of nations. And when that happens, Americans’ safety will be improved.OutlineI (1-2) Need for Americans to gain a better understanding of the world by travellingII (3-5) America’s unpopularity and its harmfu l effects1．America’s low standing in world opinion2．Being routinely outvoted at the U.N. on a variety of issuesIII (6-18) Benefits of thoughtful travel1．Gaining a better understanding of America’s place on the complex planet2．Getting a clear idea about how the world sees America3．Gaining a better understanding about other societiesa.

But they proved unfulfilling either, because at that time those who were courting got to know each other under artificial circumstances. They were well dressed and put their best foot forward.

The American traditional family is a family made up of two biological parents and two or threechildren with the father as the only breadwinner.2. No. The traditional family has lost its predominant place. Today only about 20 percent ofAmerican families fit the traditional structure.3. The new American family is a household with fewer children, with both parents working, and with mothers giving birth to their children at an ever older age, having fewer children, and spacing them further apart.4. The stable family of two biological parents is the ideal vessel for molding character, fornurturing, for inculcating values, and for planning for a child’s future.5. The result of America’s family changes is a serious new divide in the American society between the children of poorer, less educated, single parents and those of richer, better educated, and married parents.6. Mother-only families produce harmful effects on children. They are more likely than those with two parents to suffer poverty, to be suspended from school, to have emotional problems, to become delinquent, to suffer from abuse, to take drugs, and to perform poorly on virtually every measure.7. Today, 81 percent of American women think she should have her own career, and 70 percent think that both husband and wife should earn money. The vast majority of working mothers say that even if the family did not need the income, they would continue working.8.

Lesson 5
For the first time in centuries, the developing east has some say. (Line 4, Para. 7) 发展中的东方几个世纪以来第一次有了一些发言权。(say – the right, power or authority to make or to help make a decision)
Lesson 5
1. What is the first power shift? What is the major factor in the shift?
The first power shift is a rebalancing of moral authority. The major factor in the shift is the receding moral superiority of the west.
Lesson 5
Asian economies have long lagged behind the West in the pace of financial innovation and integration. As a result, Asia was often criticised for being backward in financial products and inefficient in cross-border financial intermediation. Ironically, such ‘backwardness’ and ‘inefficiency’ turned out to be a big strength in the recent crisis as it limited the contagion effect in the region.

英语专业学生外刊阅读能力培养
智库时代·202·智库理论英语专业学生外刊阅读能力培养李江秀（云南民族大学外国语学院，云南昆明 650504）摘要：经济全球化背景下，我国与世界的交流日趋频繁，国家经济战略性发展需要大批既有中国情怀又有国际视野的高素质、国际化、创新型外语专业人才。
英语外报外刊阅读是提升学生语言运用能力、跨文化交际能力、思辨和创新能力的一种有效途径。
本文在厘清英语外刊阅读重要性及外刊阅读能力内涵基础上，从外刊课教学、专八应试备考、网络辅助下的英语外刊阅读能力提升等方面探讨了英语专业学生英语外刊阅读能力的培养。
关键词：英语外刊阅读能力；培养内涵；培养途径中图分类号：G42文献标识码：A 文章编号：2096-4609（2019）52-0202-002一、引言随着经济全球化的推进，我国正从本土型国家向国际型国家转变（沈骑，2011）。
“一带一路”倡议、“中国文化走出去”、构建人类命运共同体等构想的提出与实施，给英语专业学习者带来了新的机遇，也对英语人才的需求提出了更高的要求。
参与全球治理，需要大批了解中国国情、党和国家政策、熟练运用外语、通晓国际规则，拥有全球视野的专业化人才(王俊菊，冯光武2018)。
英语外报外刊以丰富的主题内容、多样的题材和观点呈现，为学生接触了解世界提供了一个窗口；报刊语言短、新、奇、活，又具时效性，为学生扩大视野增长国际知识，学习现代英语，了解世界，获取信息提供了丰富的素材。
报刊阅读过程中，学习者不仅可以接触到各种贴近时代发展的英语词汇，获得地道的英语表达，在阅读理解过程中还需要大量查读相关背景知识，在深入理解相关问题或现象时还需要推理和评价，得出自己的结论。
这对学生独立解决问题，锻炼批判性思维，拓展跨文化能力都是很好的实践。
高校英语专业八级考试是体现学生阶段性学业水平的一个重要考试，也是学生迈向社会找到一份理想工作的敲门砖。
2015年修改的《高校英语专业八级考试( TEM －8)大纲》，将阅读理解比重由原来的20分提高到了30分。
