The appeal of

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 offer to dieters（节食者）with the message that there were fewer calories（热量单位，大卡）in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic（适合于节食旳）, 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.

1. 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 对旳答案：D

2. 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 对旳答案：D

3. The passage tells us that _______.
A sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needs B advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don’t need C the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisements D fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment 对旳答案：A

4. It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should _________.
A think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisements B guard against the deceiving nature of advertisements C be familiar with various advertising strategies D avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal 对旳答案：A

5. 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 对旳答案：C

Why does

Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition—a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives.
Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery. Both are emulsions—tiny globules (小球体) of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another. The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what’s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation.
In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture. “This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says.
When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments (隔仓室) buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients (养料). They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products. “In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing,” says Brocklehurst.
The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food’s structure. Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump.

1. The significance of Brocklehurst’s research is that ____________.
A it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservatives B it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butter C it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butter D it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition 对旳答案：A

2. According to the researchers, cream sours fast than butter because bacteria _________.
A are more evenly distributed in cream B multiply more easily in cream than in butter C live on less fat in cream than in butter D produce less waste in cream than in butter 对旳答案：B

3. According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by ___________.
A removing its fat B killing the bacteria C reducing its water content D altering its structure 对旳答案：D

4. The word “colonies” (Line 2, Para. 4) refers to __________.
A tiny globules B watery regions C bacteria communities D little compartments 对旳答案：C

5. Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack _____________.
A by varying its chemical composition B by turning it into a solid lump C while keeping its structure unchanged D while retaining its liquid form 对旳答案：D

Material cu
Material culture refers to what can be seen, held, felt, used—what a culture produces. Examining a culture’s tools and technology can tell us about the group’s history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music culture. The most vivid body of material culture in it, of course, is musical instruments. We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information about music cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved and instruments pictured in art. Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development of most of the instruments in the symphony orchestra.
Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain, and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on music and, when it becomes widespread, on the music culture as a whole.
One more important part of music’s material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic media—radio, record player, tape recorder, television, and videocassette, with the future promising talking and singing computers and other developments. This is all part of the "information revolution", a twentieth-century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modern nations; they have affected music cultures all over the globe.

1. Research into the material culture of a nation is of great importance because ________ .
A it helps produce new cultural tools and technology B it can reflect the deve
