一课一练
一、阅读关于商业广告的短文,并根据短文内容选择正确的答案
In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes the mass media ( 大 众 传 媒 ) work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines and radio stations are privately ( 私 人 地 ) owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.
Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping your name before the public”. And some people thought that advertising was “truth well told”. Now more and more people consider it in this way: advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive presentation of goods, services and ideas by certain
sponsors (赞助商) through the various media.
First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in fact, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it asks people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, service, or idea advertised can bene?t them. Fourth, the sponsors of the advertisement must show their names. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a
company, or a single person. Fifth, advertising reaches us through the old and modern mass media. Included in the old media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and ?lms. The modern media include e-mails, matchbox covers, and boards on top of buildings.
The existence of the privately owned mass media depends on the support of .
the government B. their owners’ families
C. advertisements D. the TV stations
The passage seems to say that different ideas of advertising are given due to .
the change of time
the subject of the advertisements
people’s age difference
people’s different opinions
Which of the following belongs to the modern mass media?
Newspapers. B. E-mails. C. Magazines. D. Films.
According to the passage, which of the following statements about advertisements is NOT true?
The sponsors are always mentioned.
Advertising must be honest and humorous.
Advertising differs from face-to-face communication.
Advertising is meant for large groups of people.
二、阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式
Advertising
An argument for advertisements asserts (声称) that advertisements give up-to-date information about products. However, the argument 1 advertisements is that they 2 (do) give information but rather try to persuade us to buy.
Pro-advertisement people tell us that 3 there were no advertising, consumers would only know about goods in their local shops. Anti-advertisement people say that, in reality, advertisements create a demand for goods that are not really needed.
Advertisements claim that advertising helps sell to a bigger market. Therefore, as more goods are sold, they become
4 (cheap). People who disagree with advertising argue that it actually adds 5 the cost of goods. Finally, people in 6 of advertising say advertisements provide income for newspapers, magazines, etc.
Those who dislike advertising say they do not enjoy seeing advertisements everywhere, such as in newspapers and on buses. They say advertisements are 7 (general) ugly to look at and spoil the environment.
My opinion is that advertisements do not describe reality. They give us unrealistic 8 (expect) for ourselves and satisfy greedy (贪婪的) needs. They are everywhere and 9 (avoid) even if we try to get
10 of them. I wouldn’t like to see advertisements any more.

四、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项
Many marketers these days have changed their focus from offline marketing to online marketing. 1 Offline marketing strategies are generally more personal, and if you are more personal with people, they will feel like they know you and will be willing to buy your products or services.
2 Here are three of them that you should be using.
Business cards
One of the ?rst things you should do once you set up a business is to get business cards. 3 This is one of the necessary marketing devices you need. It should be simple, with no more than two fonts (字体) and your advertisement clearly placed. Your advertisement should be the main element on your business card.
Business cards are easy to hand out—just hand them out to people you meet at conferences, trade shows, restaurants, anywhere! If you provide a product or service a waiter might need, leave your card on the table with the tip. I have even heard of someone who leaves his business cards in bathroom stalls or on bathroom sinks.
Flyer advertising
4 You can make it at home or you can pay a printing company to do it for you.
You need to decide whether you want to use colour printing or black and white. Colour printing is more expensive, but the colours attract people to the flyers and you will have a better chance of bringing in more sales. When designing your flyer, keep it simple.
You can hand out your flyers to people on the street walking by; hang them up in supermarkets and other stores; or hang them in banks and community centres. Be sure to check the local ordinances (规定) so that you do not break any laws by hanging your flyers in community spots.
Vehicle advertising
This one is not quite as conventional (常见的) as the previous two, and this is precisely why it works. People do not expect it. If you travel in a city, you drive past thousands of people every day. If you are stuck in slow or stopped traf?c, people will want something interesting to look at. 5
They are relatively cheap to print and are easy to hand out.
But giving up offline opportunities is a big mistake.
You might as well be that something.
Several low-cost choices in offline advertising are effective and easy to put into practice.
Of course, an effective design is a key.
Online shopping becomes increasingly popular.
Flyers are extremely easy to create.

三、阅读理解
Advertisers say that the world of advertising is very important, because it helps society run effectively. However, they go way too far in trying to sell their product. They use a language full of doublespeak (故弄玄虚的词语) to try and trick the consumer into thinking their product is the best on the market in order to sell their product and make money.
The use of doublespeak helps advertisers make their product seem as if it is a perfect product. In advertisements full of doublespeak, advertisers do not use de?nite ( 确 切 的 ) words. This makes the product have no de?nite levels of how good it works. In this way advertisers are able to show that their product has absolutely no flaws (瑕疵). Most advertisers try to make their product seem better than any other one on the market.
Let’s examine “acts fast”. When an advertiser describes the product with the phrase “acts fast”, he tries to show that the item will work faster than any other product. However, what exactly does that mean? Does the product run fast, cook fast, drive a car fast, or speak fast? It is not known exactly what the product does; however, people think that the product that “acts fast” is the best product for them.
Sometimes advertisers use the word “like” in an advertisement. This stops consumers from concentrating on the product, and exactly what it can make their life “like”. If an advertiser claims a certain tyre makes your car drive like it is floating, people start thinking about their car floating. Personally, I would rather drive a car that floats, and so would most
consumers. This makes the consumer want to buy this product, and once again the advertiser wins and the doublespeak helps sell the product.
“Remember, the ad is trying to get you to buy a product, so it will put the product in the best possible light, using any device, trick or means allowed without breaking laws,” some experts warn.
We can conclude from the underlined sentence that the writer of this passage the way advertisers sell their product.
does not approve of B. does not care
C. feels at a loss what to do with D. thinks highly of
In the second paragraph, the writer mainly tells us .
never to believe what advertisers say
the de?nite levels of a good product
no product has no flaws
what doublespeak is and how it works
From the passage, we know that .
the writer must have been cheated by some advertisements
some advertisements can be confusing or misleading
“acts fast” and “like” are doublespeak that should not be used in our daily life
only doublespeak can help sell products
The best title for this passage is most probably “ ”.
Don’t believe advertisements B. Doublespeak
C. The trick of advertising D. How to know false advertisements
The nation’s top public health physician, the Surgeon General, says second-hand smoking can lead to disease and
even death in a non-smoker.
Last month, a woman from Ontario, Canada, named Heather Crowe, a non-smoker, died of lung cancer. For years, she had worked as a waitress in smoke-?lled restaurants. Before her death, she ?lmed this statement. “I never smoked. But the air was blue where I worked and I am dying from second-hand smoke,” she said.
US Surgeon General Richard Carmona showed that ?lm to stress the key point in his new report on the dangers of environmental tobacco smoke. “There is no risk-free level of second-hand smoke exposure (接触). Only smoke-free environments effectively protect non-smokers from second-hand smoke exposure in indoor spaces,” he said.
Among the report’s major points are these: non-smokers exposed to second-hand smoke increase their risk of developing heart disease and lung cancer by as much as 30 percent.
Surgeon General Richard Carmona says second-hand smoke also leads to immediate cell (细胞) changes that can
cause cancers.
The conclusions are not new. The increasing evidence has caused the World Health Organization to campaign against exposure to tobacco smoke for years. Its Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which went into effect last year, commits the 131 signing nations, including the United States, to adopt measures against it.
In addition, the WHO and the US government’s Environmental Protection Agency have joined forces to support a project protecting children from second-hand smoke in China, Vietnam, Poland, and Latvia.
The US Surgeon General’s report is based on the same scienti?c ?ndings that drive these efforts. Carmona says he issued it now to raise the awareness of US citizens. Government ?gures show that the percentage of Americans who smoke has dropped by half in the last 40 years to 21 percent, but 44 million continue to do so.
He makes an appeal to them. “Make your home a smoke-free environment even if you are struggling to quit and get help as quickly as you can,” he said.
What does the underlined sentence “the air was blue” most probably mean?
The blue air was everywhere. B. The smoke was very heavy.
