Reading prehension 36% Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the 50 . Some are the 51 ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct 52 about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣傳單) under windshield (擋風玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how 53 if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising, 54 , you can print your products on T-shirts of your 55 . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has bee more and more 56 . More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to 57 a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask 58 about your pany, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re 59 effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public 60 that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance. 61 , you can hire famous models to show it vividly. Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t 62 the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book. Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your 63 . Friends and past customers remend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the 64 is based on previous positive experiences. 50. A. content B. product C. individual D. style 51. A. strange B. mon C. amusing D. perfect 52. A. description B. decision C. discussion D. permission 53. A. stupid B. funny C. impressive D. ridiculous 54. A. that is B. first of all C. as a result D. generally speaking 55.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A In February, the University of Southern California received a verbal mitment from David Sills, a 13-year-old quarterback , to play football for the school in xx. The seventh grader from Bear, Delaware, is one of the youngest athletes ever to be offered a college sports scholarship. David and his family say that now he wont have to spend time deciding where to play college ball. Instead, he can focus on school and on improving his skills on the field. Critics argue David is too young to make such a big decision, even with parental help. Whats your opinion? NO! Bob Butler, 10, West Brookfield, Massachusetts In my opinion, middle school students should not be offered college sports scholarships. These kids are too young. Middle school kids should be worried about what they are learning in class, not about where they will go to play ball in college. Thirteen-year-olds are just starting to think about their future. If they are given college scholarships, they will just focus on improving their sports skills and not on education. They might not want to pay attention in class anymore. This type of mitment would force kids to grow up too fast! YES ! Libby Hartley, 12, Frewsburg, New York Colleges should be allowed to offer sports scholarships to middle schoolers. But first, the students should have a grade average of 85% or higher in order to qualify. They should also be required to keep up their grades through middle school and high school if they want to keep the scholarships. That way, the athletes would have to work hard in school and not just on the field. Also, if the students do not make it in sports, having good grades will allow them to have different career options to fall back on. 65. Davids family support him to accept the scholarship and think ___________. A. its an honor for him to get such a scholarship B. hell certainly bee a famous football star C. it will urge him to study and drill more actively D. a seventh grader is old enough to make a big decision 66. According to Bob Butler, ___________. A. a middle schooler shouldnt spend too much time on sports B. a 13-year-old is too young to decide on his future career C. an athletic scholarship will weaken the boys efforts at study D. such mitment may prevent the boy from enjoying his childhood 67. Libby Hartley suggests that sports scholarships should ___________. A. be given on the basis of ones study performance B. be canceled if the students dont make it in sports C. not be offered until one graduates from middle school D. be awarded to those who can pass their academic exams 68. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Debate: Athletic Scholarship B. Suggestion: Ways of bining Sports with Study C.Opinion: Both Study and Sports Are Essential D. Discussion: Most Important Task for Middle Schoolers B Catherine Destivelle is a rock star. She loves rock, but she can’t sing or play the guitar! She is a rock climber and a big star in France and Italy. She is the most famous woman climber in the world because she often climbs without ropes. She climbs in many countries but most often in the French Alps near Chamonix, where she lives. She started climbing near her home in Paris when she was five. Then, at fourteen, she joined the French Alpine Club to learn more, but immediately she climbed better and more quickly than the older members of the club. She won her first petition in Italy in 1995. Three years ago she found a new route up the Dru Mountain near Chamonix. The climb took eleven days and for four days the snow was so heavy that she could not move. Last year other climbers tried to follow the new Destivelle Route, but they failed. They are going to try again this year. People always ask her about her climbing. She says, “I climb because I’m in love with mountains. I like touching the rock and reading the face of the rock. I like it a lot. I felt at home on the side of a mountain. I prepare well before I go, so I’m never worried.” Catherine chooses new mountains from books—like buying from a shopping catalogue (目錄)! “I see a nice mountain and I go to climb it!” Her next mountain is in Pakistan. She is going there next month. “It’s much bigger than the Dru, so it’s going to take longer to climb. An American climber, Jeff Lowe, is ing with me to help.” 69．Catherine Destivetle is called “a star” because ________. A. she won a petition in 1995 B. she loves rocks C. she’s a famous woman climber D. she found a new route up to the Dru Mountain 70．She had great trouble finding a new route up the Dru Mountain because ________. A. she lost her way B. the climb took 11 days C. she needed help from an American climber D. there was heavy snow 71．On the side of a mountain she feels ________. A. worried B. easy and happy C. like staying at home D. well 72．We can infer from the passage people often ask her “________”. A. Why do you like climbing? B. Are you in love with an American climber? C. Do you enjoy reading books on mountains? D. What do you do before you go climbing? C Most people in business have a strong sense that meetings are demanding more and more of their time. Fifty years ago meetings were barely necessary – the boss decided what was going to happen and told employees in a brief office memo. Now everything in business is discussed extensively in large meetings attended by anybody who has the remotest interest in the subject. The gradual erosion of formal systems of authority has increased the appetite for face-to-face meetings. Consultation and discussion has taken the place of direct instruction. The amount of travel to get to these meetings is increasing. More than nine million people passed through Heathrow(希思羅機場) in xx on the way to internal pany events. As a consequence, corporate travel is a growing part of UK carbon emissions(排放). It would be easy to say we must reverse the trend towards more meetings to reduce the climate-change impact of modern business. Unfortunately, it is not going to be easy. Some interesting recent research shows that most of the attendees at corporate meetings do plain about the waste of time involved. But when they were questioned in private, the picture changes. Only 15 per cent of people rated their most recent meeting adversely. Though most attendees saw room for improvement, meetings were valuable both in helping build plans for action and in making employees feel part of the organization. But do these meetings have to be face-to-face? British Tele recently presented some data on the success of its internal voice conferencing. In the most recent year, more than two million telephone conferences took place in the pany. BT estimates a saving of over 200m from the use of this technology and a cut of almost 100,000 tonnes of CO2. Of course BT has a clear interest in telling us that phone meetings are a good substitute for wasteful corporate get-togethers. So far, such conferencing has struggled to take off as people have tended to prefer to travel. It is, after all, rather more difficult to understand the bosss body language over the phone. Nevertheless, BTs research on the considerable benefits of conferencing is reasonable. Rather than try to get rid of apparently unproductive meetings, we need to find ways to make telephone and video conferences ever better substitutes for those traditional meetings. 73. Why are there more and more meetings according to the passage? A. Because the formal
