When Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and jukeboxes across North America. His records sell by the million. County music fans everywhere know his big hits. They love songs like “Hey Porter”, “Ring of Fire”, and “Folsom Prison Blue”.
Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. He is a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar on his cheek? It’s a bullet hole, of course!
In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is “Mr. Tough(violent) Guy”. He’s an ex-drug addict who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving, he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.
In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just about—a story. True, years ago he had a “drug habit” for a short time. He “popped” pills. But he never used heroin or other “hard” drugs. Sometimes he’d go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence. There’s no Indian blood in his veins. He’s been a killer only in song. As for the “bullet hole”, it’s an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst .
People who know Johnny Cash well say he’s a “gentle guy”, a “generous guy” ----anything but a “tough guy” . How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the “Indian grandmother” , he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the “bullet hole”, simply got started. Now there’s little the singer can do to change people’s minds. “They just want to believe it,” he says.
56. Johnny Cash is a favorite of many__________.
A. open lovers B. country music fans
C. hard—rock fans D. jazz music lovers
57. In truth, Johnny Cash_________.
A. invented the “Indian grandmother”B. used to kill rabbits for a living
C. had a bullet hole on his cheek D. served a long prison sentence
58 In his private life, Johnny Cash is_________.
A. much wilder than he looks
B. much smaller than he is on stage
C. much tougher than he is in public
D. much more gentle than most people suppose
59. From the passage, the underlined sentence “He popped pills” means_________.
A. He was addicted to heroin B. He was not addicted to drugs
C. He took pills D. He didn’t eat any pills
B
The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’ money.
Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters with the message that there were fewer calories in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic, but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.
On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real concerns. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.
Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.
60. Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by____________.
A. stressing their high quality B. convincing him of their low price
C. maintaining a balance between quality and price
D. appealing to his buying motives
61. The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that___________ .
A. thin slices of bread could contain more calories
B. the loaf was cut into regular slices C. the bread was not genuine bread
D. the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same
62. The passage tells us that_____________.
A. sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needs
B. advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying thing they don’t need
C. the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisements
D. fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment
63. The passage is mainly about_________.
A. how to make a wise buying decision
B. ways to protect the interests of the consumer
C. the positive and negative aspects of advertising
D. the function of advertisements in promoting sales
C
Australia’s biggest attraction is its natural beauty. The landscape varies from endless sun—baked horizons to dense tropical rainforest to chilly southern beaches. Scattered along the coasts, its cities blend a European enthusiasm for art and food with a laid—back love of sport and the outdoors.
Visitors expecting to see an opera in Sydney one night and meet Crocodile Dundee the next will have to rethink their grasp of geography in this huge country. It is this sheer vastness that gives Australia-- and its diverse population—much of its character.
In cities, visitors will experience a blur of fashion—festooned boutiques( 商店 ) and plate – clattering restaurants, then lose themselves in a long fluid moment inside a beer or wine glass. In the interior, they might be harangued(大声讲话) by the thump of rocks under their 4WD, only to be transfixed (出神) by a slow, silent swirl(漩涡) of outback dust. Around the coast, they’ll take an endless breath in the depths of a rainforest, then slowly realise they have an entire beach to themselves.

Today the world has become too crowded, and we are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive in the end.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more are caught, we know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow in the land. However, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die and in most countries waste produc
