In terms of money--and making money is what television is all about the commercial is by far the more important．Research, market testing, talent, time and money-----all come together to make us want to buy a product．No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works．The sales of Charm went up once the ads began．TV commercials actually buy their way into our head．We, in turn, buy the product．And the ads work because so much time an attention are given them．Here are some rules of commercial ad making．If you want to get the low middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice．Put some people in the adwho work with their hands．If you want to sell to upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hair style are the types that the group identifies (识别) with．If you want the buyer feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself We laugh at commercials．We don't think we pay that much attention them．But facts show we are kidding ourselves．The making of a commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff．It's big, big business．And it's telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy．To put it simply, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing．60．TV commercials are more important than other programs to television because _______．A．they bring in great profits (利润)B．they require a lot of money to makeC．they are not difficult to produceD．they attract more viewers than other programs61．The purpose of all the efforts made in turning out TV commercials is ________．A．to persuade people to buy the productB．to show how valuable the product isC．to test the market value of the productD．to make them as interesting as TV movies62．From the rules set for making commercial ads, we can see that_________．A．the lower-middle-class buyer likes to work with his handB．the more stupid the characters, the more buyers of the productC．ad designers attract different people with different skillsD．an upper-class buyer is more interested in houses and furniture than a lower-middle-class buyer63．It is believed by the writer that_________．A．few people like to watch TV commercialsB．TV commercials are a good guide to buyersC．TV commercials often make people laughD．people do not think highly of TV commercialsCSo much to do, so little time．So much information, so little time to read ．In this age there is more information than ever before．There is not enough time to read everything we want to read．However, you can take in and understand more information in shorter time through speed-reading．This article will not make you read 3 000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed greatly．You will also learn the basic techniques of speed reading, along with the dos and don'ts of speed-reading．When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out．Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud．The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head．Most people tend to read this way．Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously (极大的)．How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read．Get some reading material, preferably a book．Find out how many words are on the page．Time yourself one minute．Start your timer and start reading．When the timer sounds, stop at once．If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute．The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it．Don't say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its appearance．Later you will recognize groups of four words or more to increase your speed．This is the first and most important step in speed-reading．The next step is technique．As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique．You should first be sitting up straight with your book on a horizontal (水平的) surface, such as a table or desk．Next, should be able to see the entire page．This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words．Lastly, you should be focused．It's hard to read a lot of noise．Find a quiet place to read．This will help your understand of the text．You need something to guide your eyes while reading．Then right, you should use your hand, Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger．That is a great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line．Move your finger smoothly across page．No need to go rush , start our slow．Keep your eyes focused on words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide．This will increase you speed．The third step is practice．Practice makes perfect．Set time intervals(间歇)．Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you're reading．64．Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A．Now there is limited information than ever before．B．Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information．C．Now people can read what they like．D．The less you read, the more time you will spend．65．What is the subject discussed in the text?A．What speed-reading is．B．Why we need speed-reading．C．Now it is much information time．D．People should practice speed-reading in different kinds of ways．66．Which of the following shows the right way for the speed-reading from the text?a．Ask for some techniques．b．Look at many words and recognize them．c．Practice more．A．c,a,b B．c,b,a C．b,a,c D．a,c,b67．The underlined sentence “you should be focused” in the fifth paragraph means that _________．A．a person should devote his attention to it while readingB．your feelings will be hurt while readingC．a person should smooth away difficulties while he readsD．you should pay attention to your faults while you are reading68．To speed up your reading, you should_________．A．sit up straight with your book flat and use something to guide your eyesB．say every word out loud and sound it outC．know it is necessary to read quicklyD．underline some important words while you say themDYou may open your electronic mail and find information about how to buy medicine, cheap airline tickets, books and, of course, computers and computer products．There may also be offers for investment deals, bank loans and special holidays．However, to many computer users, this use of electronic spare to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult．Many companies who want to send a great deal of advertising might use the services of a “spammer．” A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information．Spammers find e-mail addresses from websites, news groups and “chat rooms” where people send messages to each other．Most spare is sent by companies who are trying to get you to buy their products．Some of these are honest companies that offer good products or services for a fair price．These companies can offer their products at a cheaper price than you might find in a store．However, much of the spam on the Internet is sent by criminals who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide．They are only interested in stealing your money．When you answer their spam you find you are expected to send them money and receive a gift．One country in Africa has become famous for the number of criminals who try every known trick to separate people from their money．69．What does the underlined word “spam” in the paragraph probably refer to ?A．Unwanted electronic information that reaches computer users．B．Computer virus that causes computer communication difficulties．C．Advertisements sent out by companies who want to sell their products．D．Companies that send out millions of copies of the same sales information．70．Which of the following is TRUE

rooms”．C．Either individuals or organizations can be regarded as spammers if they send out spam．D．Spammers are people who receive spam on their computers．71．Which is the possible suggestion from the

people．C．Spam is sent out by those who want to separate you from your money．D．Look out for any spam that reaches your computerEIn recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more various jobs lead to greater productivity? There are facts to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery that must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of the worker’s contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.To what degree does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. Maybe they want more money only because the work they do is boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them. 72．Which of the following is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author?A．Increasing their pay.B．Giving them more spare time.C．Making the work itself meaningful.D．Replacing large production lines with small ones.73．The reason why a worker cannot have freedom in doing the job in his own way is that ___ .A．the machine is so badly needed that more of it should be boughtB．there are e production lines in factoriesC．the bosses can create very little freedom of choicesD．the machines must be operated strictly according to instructions and rules74. Besides money, what may make workers work more actively?A. extra free hoursB. More comfort of lifeC. interesting jobsD. better working conditions75．The best title for this passage may be _______.A．Problems of Modern WorkersB．Making Jobs More InterestingC．Pushing Workers to Produce MoreD．How to Improve Labor Productivity第II卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分: 写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节：对话填空（满分10分）第二节：书面表达（满分２５分）目前，学校存在少数学生考试作弊现象。
