The future of out-of-home advertising is rosy, and digital.
ROADSIDE billboards, posters on buses and subway escalators, ads in airport terminalsa type of publicity known as out-of-home advertisingused to be the dull end of the industry. No more. The falling price and improving quality of flat-screen displays mean that static posters printed on paper are being replaced by snazzy digital commercials with moving pictures, sound and sometimes interactive features. As some advertising media, especially newspapers, see their audiences fade, streets, airports and other public spaces are becoming crowded with more potential viewers than ever, as people continue moving to cities and travel more.
MagnaGlobal, a media researcher, predicts that worldwide spending on out-of-home advertising will expand by 8.3% in 2011 to about $26.4 billion, faster
growth than that seen for other non-internet forms of advertising. Spending on digital billboards and posters is expected to double in the next five years, to $5.2 billion. William Eccleshare, who runs the international operations of Clear Channel, an American firm which is one of the largest out-of-home ad companies, thinks that in some countries more than 90% of its business will be digital by the decades end.
His arch-rival, Jean-Charles Decaux, the boss of Frances JCDecaux, agrees that there will be a significant switch to digital, but mainly inside airports, railway stations, shopping malls and other controlled environments. Ads in bus shelters and other outdoor spots at risk of vandalism will take a lot longer to move away from paper, Mr Decaux thinks. Digital displays already account for about one-quarter of his companys sales in transport hubs, but for less than 5% in street furniture and billboards.

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following
passage.
Yet with economies in free fail, managers also need up-to-date information about what is happening to their businesses, so that they can change course rapidly if necessary. Cisco, an American network-equipment giant, has invested over many years in the technology needed to generate such data .Frank Caideroni, the firms CFO, says that every day its senior executives can track exactly what orders are coming in from sales teams around the world, and identify emerging trends in each region and market segment. And at the end of each month, the firm can get reliable financial results within four hours of closing its books. Most firms have to wait days or even weeks for such certainty.
Admittedly, Ciscos financial results have not made happy reading recently because, in common with many other large technology companies, it has seen demand for its products decline in the downturn. In early February it announced that its fiscal second-quarter revenues of $ 9.1 billion were 7.5% lower than the same period in 2008 and that its profit had fallen by 27%, to $1.5 billion.
In response to hard times, Cisco plans to cut $1 billion of costs this year by, among other things, making use of its own video-conferencing and other communications technologies to reduce the amount its executives travel. It is also using these facilities to relay information from employees on the ground to its senior managers, and to get instructions from Ciscos leaders back out to its 67,000 staff. A rapid exchange of information and instructions is especially valuable if the company wants to alter course in stormy times.

Business has slowed, layoffs mount, but executive pay continues to roar-at least so far. Business Week's annual survey finds that chief executive officers (CEOs) at 365 0f the largest US companies got compensation last year averaging $3.1 million-up l.3 percent from 1994.
Why are the top bosses getting an estimated 485 times the pay of a typical factory worker? That is up from 475 times in 1999 and a mere 42 times in 1980. One reason may be what experts call the "Lake Wobegon effect". Corporate boards tend to reckon
that "all CEOs are above average"-a play on Garrison Keillor's famous line in his public radio show, A Prairie Home Companion, that all the town's children arc "above average". Consultants provide boards with surveys of corporate CEO compensation. Since directors are reluctant to regard their CEOs as below average, the compensation committees of boards tend to set pay at an above-average level. The resu< Pay levels get ratcheted up.
Defenders of lavish CEO pay argue there is such a strong demand for experienced CEOs that the free market forces their pay up. They further maintain most boards structure pay packages to reflect an executive's performance. They get paid more if their companies and their stock do well. So companies with high-paid CEOs generate great wealth for their shareholders.
But the supposed cream-of-the-crop executives did surprisingly poorly for their shareholders in 1999, says Scott Klinger, author of this report by a Bostonbased Organization United for a Fair Economy. If an investor had put $10,000 apiece at the end of 1999 into the stock of those companies with the 10 highest-paid
CEOs, by year-end 2000 the investment would have shrunk to $8.132. If $10,000 had been put into the Standard & Poor's 500 stocks, it would have been worth $9,090. To Mr. Klinger, these findings suggest that the theory that one person, the CEO, is responsible for creating most of a corporation's value is dead wrong. "It takes many employees to make a corporation profitable."
With profits down, corporate boards may make more effort to tame executive compensation. And executives are making greater efforts to avoid pay cut. Since CEOs, seeing their options "under water" or worthless because of falling stock prices, are seeking more pay in cash or in restricted stock.
经济减速，失业增加，但首席执行官的报酬却依然风光——至少迄今为止还是这样。

《商业周刊》的年度调查发现365家美国最大型公司的首席执行官(CEO)去年的报酬平均为3lO万美元——比1994年上升了1.3%。

为什么他们的所得大约是一个普通工厂工人工资的4.85倍?这比1999年的475倍和1980年的42倍都上升了。

原因之一可能是专家们所谓的“瓦伯格湖效应”。

[1]公司董事会倾向于认为“所有首席执行官都在平均水平之上”——改编自盖瑞森·凯
勒著名的公共电台系列节目《牧场之家好伙伴》中的一个段子，原句是说镇上的所有孩子都是“平均水平之上”。

顾问们向董事会提交有关公司首席执行官薪酬的调查。

[2]因为董事们不愿意承认他们的首席执行官是平均水平之下，董事会的薪酬委员会就会把他们的薪酬定在平均水平之上。

结果就是，首席执行官得到的薪酬节节上升。

为首席执行官得高薪而辩护的人声称，因为对有经验的首席执行官的需求很强烈，是自由市场把他们的薪酬推高。

他们进一步辩解说，大多数董事会会制订一揽子薪酬结构计划，以反映首席执行官的业绩。

如果公司和股票绩优，首席执行官的所得就越多。

所以有高薪首席执行官的公司就能够为他们的股东创造巨大的财富。

[4]可是，对于股东来说，那些本应表现相当杰出的.首席执行官们1999年的业绩却相当糟糕，令人颇为吃惊——本报告的作者斯科特·克林格如是说。

此报告是由波士顿的“争取公平经济联合组织”发表的。

如果一位投资者在1999年底拿1万美元分别购买10家给首席执行官最高薪酬的公司的股票，到2000年底投资会缩水到8132美元;如果用l万美元来买标准普尔500的股票，其价值则只降低为9090美元。

[3]以克林格而言，这些发现表明，“一家公司的大部分价值是由首席执行官一个人创造的”这一理论是十分错误的。

“一家公司赚钱，应该归功于众多雇员的共同努力。

”
[5]随着利润的下降，公司董事会可能会花更大力气削减首席执行官的薪酬，而首席执行官们则在花更大的力气来避免薪金的削减。

首席执行官们看到他们的期权目为股票价格下降而贬值甚或毫无价值，于是都在争取更多的以现金或受限制胜票的方式的薪酬。

3.Scott Klinger最可能会同意下列哪一种说法?
A)大部分人在投资股票的时候都是亏钱的。

5.以下的那一点是公司董事会最关心的因素?
A)自由市场。

B) CEO的绩效。

C)公司利润。

D)CEO的薪酬。

[C]原文末段首句表明董事会关心的是利润，其他任何因素都与利润挂钩，因此选项C为本题答案。

英语六级支付方式阅读练习
However you view credit cards. it's hard to live in the modem world without one. And if you have one, you owe it to yourself to use it properly.
Although credit cards are becoming a more acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with suspicion by many as being a major part of the "live now pay later" syndrome. Along with hire purchase, rental and leasing schemes. they provide encouragement to spend more money. They can allow you to pile up debts that you have difficulty paying off, they can also let you spend next month's salary today. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who succumb to the temptation to live. temporarily at least, beyond their means. and such people would no doubt manage to do
so even without credit cards.
Advertising campaigns have. however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They obviate the need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year. yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks interest freecredit. Using me card abroad where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account can extend this period even further.
It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; che number and range of outlets, chough most cards cover major garages, hotels. restaurants and departments stores: and of course. what happens if your card is lost or stolen A credit card chief may be sitting on a potential gold mine particularlyif there is delay in reporting the loss of the card.
Using a credit card wisely takes discipline and a
little self-control. Once you realize your debt is someone else’s profit margin, your approach to your plastic will change. With a bit of discipline and some practical knowledge, you can make your cards work for you. rather than the other way round. As a matter of fact, a credit card can cost nothing or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.
1.Many people suspect that credit cards lure people to_______________.
2.The author seems to believe that even in the absence of credit cards. some people would undoubtedly_________________.
3.In Para. 3, in addition to the advantages of no need lo carry cash and being useful in emergencies, whatelse is said to be the advantage of credit cards?
4.What is the main idea of Para.4?
5.A credit card user can control himself to take better advantage of credit card if he knows well the truth that____________________.
答案：
1.[spend more money/use tomorrow's money/live now and pay later]
[定位]第2段第1、2句。

解析：题干中的lure是原文encouragement的同义表达，因此encouragement后的不定式为本题提供了答题依据。

此外，第1句的live now pay later意思与之相近，也可为答案。

2.[live beyond their means/live now and pay later]
[定位]第2段末句。

解析：题干中的in the absence of credit cards对应原句的without credit cards，联系前半句可知原句中do so指的是live beyond their means，即为答案。

3.[Being able to enjoy the free interest in certain period]
[定位]第3段最后两句。

解析：第3段第2句首先提到了信用卡的两个优点：no need to carry cash和being useful in emergencies。

第3句在提到它收取高额利息后，用yet表转折提出它的第三个优点：interest free credit,最后一句加以补充说明。

4.[What should be considered before you decide on a credit card]
[定位]第4段首句。

解析：根据主题句第1句及第2句中“It is necessary to consider...”所列举的事项可以得出结论：该段主要讲述选择信用卡时要考虑的.一些因素。

5.[his debt is the bank's profit]
[定位]末段第2句。

解析：题干中的if可对应原句的once，know对应realize，故realize后的宾语从句即为题干中宾语the truth的同位语从句。

正确理解该宾语从句是解题关键，原句的someone else 实指银行，而银行是信用卡持有人的债主，由此答案不难得出。

英语六级阅读专项练习题原文
Sitting in a back room at London's Barbican ans center, which is hosting the Game OnExhibition,Henry Jenkins delivers a line that would have jaws dropping in any gathering of therich and famous.
"I think games are going to be the most significant art form of the 2lst century," he says.
It is, you might think, exactly what would be expected of someone introduced as "a professor ofgaming."
But Jenkins is much more than that. He is the director of a graduate program in comparativemedia studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, which also covers film,television and other mass media. "Games are a significant but not the
primary focus of theprogram," he says.
"Our approach has been to integrate games more fully into the study of media, rather thanapply them in one specialized field."
The problem is that video games have yet to achieve respectability. They are often seenroughly of equal status with pornography (色情资料)，providing instant contentment for thesort of people no one would invite to a dinner party.Practically everyone plays video games,butyou may feel guilty if you are caught at it.
But things did not go exactly to plan. Jenkins wrote:"We were trying to start a conversationabout gender,about the opening up of the girls game market, about the place of games in ‘boyculture', and so forth. But all the media wants 10 talk about is video-game violence."
The media madness reached new heights following the Columbine highschool massacre, whichlooked like something out of a first-person shooter.
He says: "the question is not whether video games are violent-obviously all story-tellingtraditions
haveincluded violence and aggression-the question is:‘What are games sayingabout violence?' Medieval epics are full of violence, and there's a lot of blood-letting-but suchstuff would never get approved for a mainstream game title."
"The difference in films is that periodically the fighting stops, you bury your head, and youremember whowas lost. That forces you to think about the consequences of violence. Andgames are starting to introducesomething similar,like mourning the dead. It's not beyond theindustry to say something thoughtful aboutviolence."
英语六级阅读专项练习题
1.According to Jenkins, games are________________of the graduate program incomparative mediastudies but are not its primary concentrtion.
2.If you are caught playing at video games, you will feel ashamed, because they areoften regarded as something like_____________.
3.Jenkins and his staff try to start a conversation about games from new perspectives,but the media only want to focus on____________.
4.If the stuff that is full of violence and blood-letting was used for a mainstreamgame title, it would_______________________.
5.Jenkins thinks that the difference between films and games is that in films you willbe compelled to consider________________.
英语六级阅读专项练习题答案
1.[a significant focus]
[定位]根据comparative media studies查找到第4段。

解析：第4段末句讲到Jenkins说游戏是这个项目的一个重要部分，但并不是主要的研究内容。

而此句中的theprogram 指的是上句中提到的比较传媒研究领域的一个研究生项目，所以本题答案为a significant focus。

2.[pornography]
[定位]根据caught和playing at video games查找到第6段最后两句。

解析：第6段末句提到，玩视频游戏时要是被别人发现了，你就会觉得问心有愧似的，原因是上一句说的“人们常常把视频游戏看做是与色情文学一样的东西”，因此，本题答案为pornography。

3.[video-game violence]
[定位]根据try to start a conversation查找到第7段。

解析：第7段末句Jenkins写道他们试图发起一场有关性别、有关开拓女孩游戏市场等等的讨论，可是所有媒体仅仅只想讨论视频游戏中的暴力问题。

题干中的focus on为原文该句中talk about的同义转换，所以答案为video-game violence。

4.[never get approved]
[定位]根据题干中的blood-letting和mainstream game title查找到倒数第2段末句。

解析：空白处需要填人谓语成分，题干是对原文末句的同义改写，题干中的.it指代原文中的such stuff,所以原文该句中would后的never get approved为答案。

5.[the consequences of violence]
[定位]根据题干中的the difference和films查找到原文末段前两句。

解析：空白处需要名词或名词短语，题干是关天电影不同于视频游戏的地方，与原文末段前两句的内容相对应，题干中的compelled对应原文中的forces，而consider是think about 的同义替换，所以其后的宾语theconsequences of violence 为答案。

英语六级《商业经济》阅读练习题
Gift certificates, or rather their high-tech new replacements. gift cards (certificates in the form of
credit cards). are America's most popular present. They spare gift-givers the strain of choosing anything specific. and recipients the horror of having to keep the result. Retailers like them too, because they are quite profitable. But like most goods in the recession, they have become harder to shift, prompting some radical redesigns.
Gift cards are profitable because retailers receive money for them up from, and around 10% of them are never redeemed (收回), according to Lew Paine of the GFK Group, a market-research firm. When people do use them. they often spend more than the amount given. on products with highmargins.
But sales of gift cuds were down by around 6% last year in America, to about $25 billion, partly because discounts in stores were so steep that customers naw more value in buying merchandise directly. Bankruptcies among retailers also scared people away from gift cards, for tear that scores would not be around to honour them. Some financial-services companies that offer gift cards which can be used in various stores, including Visa and American Express,
came under fire for charging monthly maintenance fees on unspent balances.
Analysts expect another tough holiday season for gift cards this year. Sales will be down by about 5%, projects Archstone Consulting, which studies the business. Retailers arc trying to counter this decline by making gift cards more attractive. One approach is fo add nifty(俏皮的) packaging. Target, for example，is selling gift cards that double as wind-up toys or play recorded greetings. Other retailers have launched schemes that let people e-mail one another electronic gift certificates, which the recipients can then print out for use.
Some retailers have even given gift cards away in an effort to drum up business. Neiman Marcus. for example, sent $50 gift cards to prolific customers to entice them back for further sprees. Target will give a $l0 gift card to people who spend $l00 before noon on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is considered thestart of the holiday shopping season. Such handouts can be cheaper than sha~p store-wide discounts. which proved devastating to profits last year.
Expiry dates add a sense of urgency, which retailers are eager tofoster.
But many customers also have a crafty streak. Bargain-hunters are flocking to eBay and other websites to buy discounted, second-hand gift cards for their own use. eBay is thought to sell around 100,000 gift cardsevery month. and other sites where people sell unwanted gift cards at discounts, as highas 40% are one pan of the gift-card business which has boomed of late.
1. One of the reasons for the popularity of gift cuds lies in that gift-givers don't have to worry about______________________.
2. What's che drawback of gift cards when the economy is in recession?
3. Some companies that offer gift cards were severely affected last year because_________.
4. How do retailers respond to the decline of sales of gift cards?
5. Retailers gave om handouts to promote consumption. but their efforts turned out__________.
答案：
1.[scoosing anything specific/shoosing gifts]
[定位]第1段第1-2句。

解析：原文spare gift-givers the strain中spare意为“使免遭”，对应题干gift-givers don't have to worry about，本题答案应在介同of之后找，即choosing anything specific，填choosing gifts也对。

2.[They are harder to shift.]
[定位]第1段最后一句。

解析：第1段先讲礼卡给送礼、收礼之人及零售商带来的一些好处，紧接着以But 进行转折，指出礼卡在经济大萧条时期遇到的问题——难以转换，即They are harder to shift，为本题答案。

3.[they charged monthly maintenance fees on unspent balances]
[定位]第3段最后一句。

解析：severely affected是对原文came under fire的同义改写，原句for后面的内容即是需要填入空格处的原因，照抄原文即可。

4.[By making gift cards more attractive.]
[定位]第4段第3句。

解析：respond to the decline 相当于原文中的counter this decline，原文by后面引出的是零售商采取的方法，即题
干所问，故为答案。

5.[to be devastating to profits]
[定位]第5段倒数第二句。

解析：该段提到零售商为了招揽生意，甚至给消赞者赠送礼卡。

该段倒数第二句指出零售商这一做法产生的.后果，即对利润造成了相当程度的影响。

题干中turned out和原文proved 表达相同的意思“被证明是”，proved后的内容照搬即可。

试题8
英语六级阅读练习题及答案解析
To live in the United States today is to gain anappreciation for Dahrendorf’s assertion thatsocial change exists everywhere. Technology, theapplication of knowledge for practical ends, is amajor source of social change.
Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it does not existnaturally.A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use aspear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solidmass of matter. For a bird looking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves thepurpose equally well. The explosion of the
Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclearaccident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology;they provide cases in whichwell-planned systems suddenly went haywire(变得混乱) and there was no ready hand to setthem right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists worry that we will use our technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves topieces. But they have been saying this for decades. and so far we have managed to surviveand even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.
Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computerrevolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do thetasks that once only people could do.There are those who assert that the switch to aninformation-based economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet
when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was arevolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was arevolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not confined to the few.
In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the struccure of American fife, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge andcommunication. The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humansand animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplementand replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. n is thecapacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents itsgreatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.
