Passage 1
Advertising follows us everywhere. Whenever we turn on the television, liste n to the radio or ope n a n ewspaper or magaz ine, we are bombarded with advertiseme nts. They in vite us to try a new type of orange juice, wear X-bra nd jeans or watch the latest film. They beg us to notice the differenee and discover the advantages. They exist to make us want what they are selling.
Strangely, the more we are exposed to advertising, the less we notice it. We get so used to seeing advertisements everywhere that they become largely inv isible, as if they were ano ther part of our everyday lives. But do that mean that we are no Ion ger affected by them?
One advertis ing expert believes that the special power of advertis ing lies in the fact that we do not pay much atte nti on to it. Dr. Krugma n, who was head of research for a major advertis ing compa ny for many years, says that the less we notice ads, the more we are affected by them. Dr. Krugman believes that when we stop no tici ng advertiseme nts, we lower our defe nses, allow ing the messages of the advertiseme nts to be take n in and stored, ready to be triggered into actio n at the right mome nt. He says that the effects of advertis ing on the in dividual are small, but over a period of time they have a powerful effect on the masses.
A market analyst says that all advertising, no matter how innocent, is misleading in some way.
When asked about the power of advertising in research surveys, most people agree that it works, but not on them. Almost every one believes that they have complete con trol over how thousa nds of ads they see every day affect them.
【】51. Ads exist to make people want _______ .
A. a new type of orange juice
B. X-bra nd jea ns
C. to watch the latest film
D. what they advertise
【】52. The more we see ads, the less w _______ .
A. pay atte nti on to them
B. feel tired of them
C. n eglect them
D. put up with them
【】53. Although we may think we are not affected by them, Dr. Krugman
believes that advertiseme nts affect _____ .
A. all of us
B. most of us
C. some of us
D. a few in dividuals
【】54. Dr. Krugma n believes that whe n we stop no tic ing ads, we beg in
to _______ .
A. like them
B. be on guard aga inst them
C. accept them
D. dislike them
【】55. When asked about the power of ads, most people agree that ads are in effective on ______ .
A. i ndividuals
B. masses
C. others
D. them
Passage 2
Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was
not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I
experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a n eighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the
storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost
impossible to give away anything in this world without getting someth ing back,
though the retur n ofte n comes in an un expected form. One Sun day morning the local post office delivered an importa nt special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressedto me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciati on.
More tha n a year later I n eeded a post office box for a new bus in ess I was starti ng. I was told at the wi ndow that there were no boxes left, and that my n ame
would have to go on a long wait ing list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. Wasn't it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delive ry to your home?” I said yes. Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You dont know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get no thi ng but complai nt§.
【】56. From the passage, we understand th _______ .
A. the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late
thirties
B. the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather tha n
givers
C. the author received the same education as most people during his
childhood
D. the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of gett
ing
【】57. According to the author _______ .
A. giving means you will lack money
B. the excitement of giving can bring you money
C. you don 'have to be rich in order to give
D. when you give away money, you will be rich
【】58.The author wrote a note of appreciation to the post office because
A. he knew what such a note would mean to the post office.
B. he had discovered giving-away made life all the more exciting.
C. he believed he would get something back by doing so.
D. the postman delivered an important letter in time.
【】59. When the author needed a post office box ______ .
A. he had to put his name on a waiting list
B. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation
C. many people had applied for post-office boxes before him
D. he asked the postmaster to make one for him

A. it was the special delivery
B. it was the post-office box
C. it was the note of appreciation he wrote
D. it was he who wrote him a letter a year ago Passage 3

Each day, computers help millio ns of people do their jobs more effectively. For example, they can help man agersdecide on a future course of acti on, and they can then help with the follow-up checks on performanee to see if planned goals are being achieved.

Why I Attended College ？
Why did I choose to attend college? Is the four-year academic life worthwhile? I have put these questions to myself at many times in the past two years, and now I have reached the con clusi on that college educati on is someth ing that I truly want and it is worthwhile.
I chose to atte nd college becauseI enjoy lear ning. I felt that I wan ted to continue to study, I simply couldn 'end my education upon graduation from the high school and en ter the work ing world so soon. I chose to atte nd college also becauseI feel college is more than a place which offers knowledge. It also exposeso ne to a rich variety of ideas and help. Fin ally, I feel that in today's world, a college education has become almost essential if one wishes to compete in the job market. Atte nding college is a practical and n ecessary step to en sure a secure future for myself.
For these reasons, I never consider myself unhappy, miserable or unfairly burdened, and I never think attending college is a waste of time and money.。
