三、阅读理解(共10小题,每小题3分,满分30分)
A
Advertising is as old as story-telling itself. For as long as people have wanted to persuade others to buy their goods, give them their vote or lay down their lives, they have used the methods of advertising. Of course, methods have changed over the years. At first, word of mouth was the only means of communicating, but after the invention of the first printing press and the arrival of the first newspaper, the camera, the television, and the home video recorder, the persuasive methods of the advertising industry have become much more sophisticated.
Advertising appeals more to our emotions than to our minds and therefore uses persuasive techniques which, though not misleading, are certainly biased towards its products. Advertisements have some basic features.
·They are fast and short. They deliver their message in minimum time and space.
·They are concentrated. Their language and images are extremely dense.
·They appeal to consumers’ emotions rather than to their logic.
·They entertain. That entertainment may be in the form of a jazzy song or a photograph or a clever joke, but it always draws attention to itself because advertisements have to compete against every other competitor for consumers’ attention.
36.In the past, people used methods of advertising when they wanted others
to .
A．buy their products and lay down
B．vote for them and give up their lives
C．support them and lie down
D．buy their products and give them tickets
37.How can advertisements attract people?
A．By showing reasonable prices of the products.
B．By showing fabulous pictures of the products.
C．By reminding people to think before deciding to buy the products.
D．By persuading people in the form of music, pictures and so on.
38.The writer implied in the passage that .
A．advertisers only present good points of their products
B．advertisers try to cheat consumers
C．advertisers are not sure about their products
D．advertisers are competing with each other.
39.“Itself” in the last sentence of the passage refers to .
A．photograph B．entertainment C．joke D．jazzy song
40. Advertisements have the following basic features except
A. being attractive
B. being concentrated
C. being fast and simple
D. being amusing
B
Utopia is a perfect place. It is a place without war, hunger, poverty, or crime. It is a place where the people work together and share. There is no money in Utopia because the people do not need money . They do not have personal possessions because everything belongs to everyone. All of the people are equal in Utopia, and the laws are all fair.
Utopia is not a new place. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, described a perfect society in his famous dialogue The Republic. In Plato’s Republic, philosophers were the kings, and every person had a place in the society. In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote about an island in the Pacific Ocean where everything was perfect. He named the island “ Utopia”. In 1602, Tommaso Campanella wrote “The City in the Sun”, about a perfect community on the island of Ceylon ( now Sri Lanka ) ; and in 1872, Samuel Butler wrote a novel about a perfect country which he named “Erewhon”. “Utopia”is a Greek word that means “not a place”, and “Erewhon”is the English word “ nowhere” spelled backwards.
Utopia is a perfect place, but it is not a real place. Most ‘real’Utopias last only a short time. This is because everyone wants to live in it, but no one knows how to make it work. As a result, when we say something is ‘Utopia’today, we mean that it is a good idea, but it is not realistic.

A. Plato
B. Utopian people
C. Tommaso, Samuel Butler
D. Sir Thomas More
44. According to the passage, most ‘real’ Utopias last only a short time because _______.
A. no one wants to be a leader
B.no one knows how to make a perfect society
C.it is difficult to collect money
D.everyone wants to live in Utopia
45.Which of the following is true?
A. There was never a ‘real’ Utopia.
B. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, lived in Utopia.
C. “The City in the Sun”, is now a city in Sri Lanka.
