Does the company wish to attract new investors Does it seek to acquire a company abroad Is a new product to be introduced Are new government regulations threatening the companys profitability Only after the fundamental needs of a corporation have been established can the basic objective for a corporate program be isolated; without such a clearly defined objective the campaign will have little effect. Note that we have spoken of an objective, not a set of objectives. One cannot create at favorable climate among the financial community, emphasize ones concern for the environment, seek to attract new employees by the creation of a progressive image, give direct support to sales staff, and emphasize social responsibility, all in a single campaign. A scattering of diverse messages will confuse the reader and in the end he will absorb nothing. After the prime reason for investment in the campaign has been decided upon, the second step is to collect all the information that one wishes to convey to the selected audiences. Since there is only objective for the campaign, one assumes that the audience has already been clearly identified during the selection of the objective. The third step involves the selection of the best possible media to be used in the campaign. It is alarming how many advertising experts first create the campaign and then select the media. The print media are quite distinct from such media as radio and television in their advertising capabilities. Even within the print media there are critical differences in style and approach which must be noted by anyone designing an advertisement for printing in a newspaper as opposed to a magazine. Magazine advertising in turn is not one unified field, for there are many different types of magazines and journals directed to entirely different audiences. The fourth and last step is to find a suitable creative approach. If the objective is to develop a receptive climate among the financial community, for example, it would be a mistake to work with too much illustration and too few detailed data, too many clever words and too few facts and figures. In a campaign aimed at fixing in the consciousness of the general public an image of the company as a progressive and innovative leader in its field, on the other hand, it might be appropriate to emphasize dramatic illustrations and not take the chance of boring the audience with facts.第1题：What does the author imply by saying too much illustration and too few detailed data (Para. 6)AExplain too much with no figures and facts.BEmphasize the details without illustration.CExplain nothing about the objectives.DIllustrate too few detailed data.正确答案：A答案解析：解 析 推理判断题。文章第六段中的too many clever words(illustration)and too few facts and figures(data)解释了“too much illustration and too few facts and figures”的意思，即解释太多，而没有足够的数据和统计数字。要推断这个答案要对照后面的句子，往往后面的句子就是对这个词汇或短语的再次解释。第2题：According to the author, the most important step in developing an effective campaign is _.Ato select the best possible mediaBto create a good environmentCto collect some informationDto define the objectives正确答案：D答案解析：解析 事实细节题。文章首段第一句表明最重要的是确定目标。B“创造好的环境”原文没有提及， A“选择最有可能的媒体”、C“收集信息”是其中的两个步骤，但不是最重要的步骤。Our dreams may affect our lives more than we ever realized, says a new research. For 11 years, a 58-year-old anthropologist kept a journal of nearly 5,000 dreams. By analyzing color patterns in the dreams, Arizona-based re searcher Robert Hoss could accurately predict certain things about the mans emotional state. Hoss correctly identified two separate years when the man experienced crises in his life. How was Hoss able to gauge what the dreamers experienced The clues were in the colors, he says. The anthropologists dominant dream hues were reds and blacks, and blacks increased during difficult times. Even without knowing the events in his life, Hoss observes, we accurately determined the emotional states based on those colors in his dreams.Dreams are a way for the subconscious to communicate with the conscious mind. Dreaming of something youre worried about, researchers say, is the brains way of helping you rehearse for a disaster in case it occurs. Dreaming of a challenge, like giving a presentation at work or playing sports, can enhance your performance. And cognitive scientists have discovered that dreams and the rapid eye movement that happens while youre dreaming are linked to our ability to learn and remember.Dreaming is a mood regulatory system, says Rosalind Cartwright, PhD. Shes found that dreams help people work through the days emotional quandaries (因惑). Its like a built-in therapist (临床医学家), says Cart wright. While we sleep, dreams compare new emotional experience to old memories, creating patterns of old images laid on top of new ones. As she puts it, You wake up and think, what was Uncle Harry doing in my dream I havent seen him for 50 years. But the old and new images are emotionally related. Its the job of the conscious mind to figure out the relationship.In fact ,dream emotions can help real therapists treat patients undergoing traumatic (创伤的) life events. In a new study of 30 recently divorced adults, Cartwright tracked their dreams over a five-month period, measuring their feelings toward their ex-spouses. She discovered that those who were angriest at the spouse while dreaming had the best chance of successfully coping with divorce. If they were bland in their dreams, Cartwright says, they hadnt started to work through their emotions and deal with the divorce. For therapists, this finding will help determine whether divorced men or women need counseling or have already dreamed their troubles away.What happens in your head at night is more important than you think. Although no device lets researchers probe the content of dreams while we sleep, scientists may interpret dreams once weve awakened.第3题：According to Cartwright, in what way do dreams function as a built-in therapistADreams regulate mood and help people deal with emotional problems.BDreams lay new emotional experience on top of old memories.CDreams help people forget old experience, relatives and friends.DDreams figure out emotional related images and experience.正确答案：A答案解析：定位 根据题干中的dreams function as a built-in therapist，能够定位到第三段第一至三句。解 析 根据这几句话可知Rosalind Cartwright博士说做梦是调节情绪的一个系统，她发现梦能够帮助人们处理白天的情感困惑。于是，Cartwright博士说就像有一个内置的临床 医生。也就是说，梦经过调节情绪帮助人们处理情感问题来担当着内置的临床医生的职责。避 错指导 根据本段第四句可知梦能把新的情感经历与旧的记忆比较，并把旧映像置于新的之上，而不是把新的情感经历置于旧的记忆之上，故可排除 B)；文中未提及梦能够帮助人们忘记过去的经历、亲戚和朋友，故可排除C)；根据本段最后一句可知是有意识的思想能找出情感联系，而梦是不能找出情感联系 的映像和经历的，故可排除D)。第4题：Why do people dream what they worry aboutABecause the brain tries to help people prepare for the occurrence of a disaster.BBecause the brain tries to develop peoples ability to learn to deal with a disaster.CBecause dreams can make people feel less worried about the occurrence of a disaster.DBecause dreams can help people remember what to do when a disaster occurred正确答案：A答案解析：定位 根据题干中的people dream what they worry about，能够定位到第二段第二句。解析 根据这句话可知研究人员称梦见担忧的事情是由于大脑帮助我们练习应对万一发生的灾难的一种途径。也就是说，梦见我们担忧的事情是因为大脑试图帮助我们准备好灾难的发生。避错指导 大脑试图发展我们学习应对灾难的能力不是梦见自己担忧的事情的原因，故可排除B)；文中未提及梦见自己担忧的事情能够使人们在灾难发生时不那么担忧，故可排除C)；文中也未提及梦见自己担忧的事情能够使人们记住在灾难发生时做什么，故可排除D)。Experiments under way in several labs aim to create beneficial types of genetically modified (GM) foods, including starchier potatoes and caffeine-free coffee beans. Genetic engineers are even trying to transfer genes from a cold-winter fish to make a frost-resistant tomato. A low-sugar GM strawberry now in the works might one day allow people with health problems such as diabetes to enjoy the little delicious red fruits again. GM beans and grains rich in protein might help people at risk of developing kwashiorkor( 恶性营养不良). Kwashiorkor, a disease caused by severe lack of protein, is common in parts of the world where there are severe food shortages. Commenting on GM foods, Jonathon Jones, a British researcher, said: The future benefits will be enormous, and the best is yet to come. To some people, GM foods are no different from unmodified foods. A tomato is a tomato, said Brian Sansoni, an American food manufacturer. However, critics of GM foods challenge Sansonis opinion. They worry about the harm that GM crops might do to people, other animals, and plants. In a recent lab study conducted at Cornell University, scientists tested pollen(花粉) made by Bt-corn, which makes up one-fourth of the U.S. corn crop. The scientist sprinkled the pollen onto milkweed, a plant that makes a milky juice and is the only known food source of the monarch butter fly caterpillar(毛虫). Within four days of chewing the milkweed leaves, almost half of a test group of caterpillars had died. Monarchs are considered to be a flagship species for conservation, said Cornell researcher Linda Raynor. This is a warning bell. Some insects that are not killed by GM foods might find themselves made stronger. How so The insecticides used to protect most of todays crops are sprayed on the crops when needed and decay quickly in the environment. But GM, plants produce a continuous level of insecticide. Insect species feeding on those crops may develop. resistance to the plants and could do so in a hurry, say the critics. Insects may also develop a resistance to the insecticide Bt. At the forum on GM food held last year in Canada, scientists said GM crops that have been made resistant to the herbicide might crossbreed with wild plants, creating super-weeds that could take over whole fields. So where do you stand Should GM food be banned in the United States, as they are in parts of Europe Or do their benefits outweigh any of the risks they might carry第5题：The author cited the case of the pollen-sprayed milkweed leaves in Paragraph 3 to show_.AGM foods may harm cropsBGM foods contain more proteinCGM foods can kill insects effectivelyDGM foods also have a dark side正确答案：D答案解析：解 析推理判断题。根据文章第三段：科学家将谷物的花粉喷洒到马力筋上(一种能产生汁液的惟一可知的霸王蝶幼虫的食物来源)，试验结果是有一半的霸王蝶的幼 虫被杀死，因此这个试验是用来揭示转基因植物不好的一面的，故D)项为正确答案。A)项“转基因食品伤害植物”不正确，因为植物本身没有受到伤害，是食用 植物的昆虫受到了伤害；B)项“转基因食品含有更多的蛋白”不是此处例子所证明的事情；C)项“转基因食品能有效杀死害虫”不符合人们开发转基因食品的初 衷，也不是例子所证明的方面。第6题：What can be inferred from the first paragraph答案解析：解 析推理判断题。在第一段中作者列举了许多转基因食品的例子，都是说转基因食品为人类带来的好处，比如低糖转基因草莓能够使糖尿病人重新品尝这种红色果 实，含高蛋白的食品能够帮助那些恶性营养不良的人们等等，因此正确答案为D)。选A)项“转基因食品对恶性营养不良的人有好处”是文章第一段所列举的例 子，从这个例子中只能够看出转基因食品的好处，而例子本身不具有概括性；B)项“我们认识到转基因食品的好处越早越好”文中没有提及；C)项“转基因食品 既有好处，也有坏处”是文章后面论述的内容，不是第一段的内容。No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess (公爵夫人) of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue. The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better-or worse-part of my life. Being rich wouldnt be bad either, but that wont happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars. Where did we go off the track When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating, and excessive eating is one of Christianitys seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being. Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat-or even only somewhat overweight-is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength. Our obsession (迷恋) with thinness is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem-too much fat and a lack of fiber-than a weight problem. The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vainglory (虚荣) .第7题：In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that_Athe Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtueBlooking slim is a symbol of having a large fortuneCbeing thin is viewed as a much desired qualityDreligious people are not necessarily virtuous正确答案：C第8题：In human history, peoples views on body weight_.Awere closely related to their religious beliefsBchanged from time to timeCvaried between the poor and the richDled to different moral standards正确答案：B An ideal underlying the United States educational system is that of producing a society that is 100 per cent literate. All American states have compulsory attendance laws that require young people to attend school until a specified age. The goal of 100 per cent literacy has yet to be achieved, and may never be achieved. Education is an enormous and expensive part of American life. Its size is matched by its variety.Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyonenot just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing, radio repair, computer programming or drive training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, fut
