grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them.That led to the concept of specialization，which means that people would specialize，or focus，on doing one specific job.Lets take a man well call Mr.Fielder，for example.He did everything connected with farming.He planted seeds，tended the fields，and harvested and sold his crops.At the same time，he did many other jobs on the farm.However，he didnt make the bricks for his house，cut his trees into boards，make the plows(犁)，or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs.Instead，he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr.Plowright.Using what he knew about farming and working with iron，Mr.Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier.Mr.Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows.Perhaps，he thought，other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.How did Mr.Plowright let people know what he was doing？Why，he advertised，of course.First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers.That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door.It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr.Plowright and his really good plows.Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago.Even before most people could read，they understood such signs.Shopkeepers would carve into stone，clay，or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.A medium，in advertising talk，is the way you communicate your message.You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols.The second medium was audio，or sound，although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today.Originally，just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument，such as a bell，were used to get peoples attention.A crier，in the historical sense，is not someone who weeps easily.It is someone，probably a man，with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city.In ancient Egypt，shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products.Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods.Perhaps the crier described the goods，explained where they came from，and praised their quality.His job was，in other words，not too different from a TV or radio commercial in todays world.21What probably led to the start of advertising?AThe discovery of iron.BThe specialization of labor.CThe appearance of new jobs.DThe development of farming techniques.解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句和下文所举的两个例子可知：劳动的专业化导致广告业的开始。答案B22To advertise his plows，Mr.Plowright _.Apraised his plows in publicBplaced a sign outside the shopChung an arrow pointing to the shopDshowed his products to the customers解析细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop.”可知。答案B23The writer makes up the two stories of Mr.Fielder and Mr.Plowright in order to _.Aexplain the origin of advertisingBpredict the future of advertisingCexpose problems in advertisingDprovide suggestions for advertising解析推理判断题。作者通过讲故事用简单的逻辑推理知识解释广告业的起源。答案A24In ancient Egypt，a crier was probably someone who _.Aowned a shipBhad the loudest voiceCran a shop selling goods to farmersDfunctioned like todays TV or radio commercial解析细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“His job was，in other words，not too different from a TV or radio commercial in todays world.”可知，crier所起的作用就是我们今天电视或收音机里的商品广告。答案D25The last two paragraphs are mainly about _.Athe history of advertisingBthe benefits of advertisingCthe early forms of advertisingDthe basic design of advertising解析概括大意题。最后两段描述了广告业的原始的、早期的形式，故C项符合。答案CBThe kiwi birdThe kiwi bird is a flightless bird，about the size of a chicken. It sleeps during the day and is active at night­time. It has a long beak that is one­third the length of its body, and its beak actually has nostrils (鼻孔) at the end. The kiwi is the only bird with this feature. Another unique feature of the kiwi is that it has no tail. It has thick brown hair­like feathers. This bird has many physical features unlike any other bird on earth.Kiwi birds have been called a genetic leftover. Their characteristics seem very odd to us probably due to the fact that they haven't evolved much at all. They are suspected to be about 8 million years old. That's 7 million years older than humans. Due to New Zealand's isolated environment, it has been safe from predators(食肉动物) and hasn't needed to do much adapting. They just hang around.With its long beak, the kiwi digs up and chows down on worms. A kiwi is almost blind; it can see about six feet at night and around two feet during the day，so when it comes to hunting the kiwi is not well equipped.It uses the nostrils on its beak to find its food and then picks up the worms with its beak.The kiwi bird is native of New Zealand.It is the island country's national bird, and is rare anywhere but here and a few Pacific island neighbors. Of course，it is available for viewing at certain zoos.It has stayed in its native land due to the facts that it is an isolated island and that kiwis can't fly.Kiwi birds are extremely unique in the bird world. Though they are the size of chickens, they lay eggs the size of ostrich eggs, weighing around a pound each.Their enormous eggs are the largest in the bird world, compared to their bodies. These birds were named after their distinctive shrill cry “kee­wee kee­wee”26Which of the following is NOT the distinctive feature of the kiwi bird?AIt has no tail at all.BIt has a long beak.CIts feathers are thick and brown.DThere are nostrils at the end of its beak.解析根据第一段第四句The kiwi is the only bird with this feature.可知应选D项。答案D27Kiwi birds haven't evolved much over the past 8 million years probably because _.Athe climate is mildBthey have no enemyCsomething is wrong with their genesDthey have adapted to living on the island解析根据第二段第五句Due to New Zealand's isolated environment，it has been safe predators.可知答案为B项。答案B28What plays a key role in looking for food?AIts long beak.BIts eyes.CThe nostrils.DIts tail解析根据第三段第三句It uses the nostrils on its beak to find its food.可判断选C。答案C29What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?AThe kiwi bird's habitat.BThe kiwi bird is New Zealand's national bird.CThe kiwi bird can not fly.DThe kiwi bird is available at zoos.解析根据第四段第一、二句The kiwi bird is native of New Zealand.可知答案为B。答案B30Kiwi birds got their name from _.Athe large size of their eggsBthe food they feed onCtheir appearanceDtheir unique cry解析根据最后一段最后一句可判断答案为D。答案D。- 8 -
