Today’s advertisements , or ads, try to get consumers(消费者) to buy certain brands(品牌) . Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can. sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片) , or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.　　For example, you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on a shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it.　　Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy. 1. What is discussed in this passage?　　A. The content of modern advertising.　　  B. The skills of modern advertising.　　C. The results of modern advertising.　　   D. The writing of modern advertising. 2. According to the passage, a good advertisement should     .　　A. be both persuasive and effective　　      B. give people useful information　　C. show people a product　　                    D. show people a new idea of a product  3. From the passage, we know that      . 　　A. modern advertising has less effect on customers 　　 B. once customers see ads about a new cerea1, they are sure to buy it　　C. cereal can make people strong　　D. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people  4. What can we infer from the passage?　　A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.　　B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.　　C. It’s impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.　　D. Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements. B Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary and attack. Figures show an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine "It will never happen to me".

Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.

Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals. 1. The results of the test show that ______　　A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies.　　B. breakfast has much to do with people’s health.　　C. a person will work better if he has simple breakfast　　D. breakfast only affects those who work with their brains . 2. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don’t eat breakfast, you will____.　　A. not lose weight 　　B. be healthier　　C. gain weight　　　　D. lose weight   3. We can infer from the passage that _____ 　　A. one can work better without breakfast.　　B. morning diet will do good to your health.　　C. reducing lunch and supper will help lose weight.　　D. breakfast is more important than lunch and supper.    4. What is the best title for this passage?　　A. Good Breakfast　　        B. Why Eating Breakfast?　　C. No eating, No gaining      D. What is breakfast    Suggested answers: 完形填空 1. 文章说“他们刚结婚时谁也没钱”，因此买房子是不可能的，根据意思选择unable。答案：A 2. 文章没有提起他们的生活如何，所以，描绘生活好坏的词语应加以排除。答案：B 3. 答案：C 4. “leave him some money”, “给他留了一笔钱”。 答案：D  5. 答案：C 6. 由下文“In fact, they put it away in a cupboard without even unpacking it.” 可知。答案：A 7. 答案：A   8.  put away“收拾好”，take away“拿走”。   答案：B     9. 答案：C     10. 根据意思推测，刚生完孩子，应该从医院归来。 答案：D    11. 好事应该予以庆贺，邀请别人来，体现了当时愉快的心情。　　答案：C    12. 答案：B   13. 由下文可知。　　答案：A      14. 就是因为酒已喝完，才想起朋友送来的那瓶酒。答案：B 15. 答案：C 16. 答案：A   17.  brought 指带客人们到吃饭的地方。答案：B   18. 答案：C   19. 在此只有aloud, loud为副词，排除A, D, read aloud, “大声读”。答案：C    20.  it指“卡片”。　　答案：D 2. 阅读理解： A.
