56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog.Time limit:4 minutes and 20 secondsAdvertising(广告)can be thought of as the means of making something known in order to buy orsell goods or services.Advertising aims to increase peoples awareness and arouse interest.Ittries to inform and to persuade.The media are all used to spread the message,and the pressoffers a fairly cheap method.Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market.Thecinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets.Television,although more expensivecan be very effective.Posters(海报)are fairly cheap and more permanent(永久地)in their powerof attraction.Other ways of increasing consumer(消费者)interest are through exhibitions andtrade fairs as well as direct mail advertising.We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid by the producer or by the consumer.Sinceadvertising forms part of the cost of production,which has to be covered by the selling price,it isclear that it is the customer who pays for advertising.However,if large-scale advertising leads to increased demand,production costs are reduced,andthe customer pays less.It is difficult to measure the influence of advertising on sales exactly.When the market is growing,advertising helps to increase demand.When the market is shrinking(变小),advertising may prevent a bigger fall in scales than would occur without its support.What isclear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of itsvalue to them.56.The purpose of advertisements is to warn.T-第 9 页-F57.Advertising makes use of mass media.TF58.When the increased demand for the commodity(商品)has cut production expenses,the costof the advertisement is paid by the salesman.TF59.The businessmen will not put money in

following passage.Then fill in the blanks to complete thestatements that follow the passage.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Time limit:4 minutes and 21 secondsThere was a time when the owners of the shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sumsof money to gangsters(歹徒)in return for protection.If the money was not paid immediately,the-第 10 页-gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop.Getting protectionmoney is not a modern crime.As long ago as the fourteenth century,an Englishman,Sir JohnHawkwood,made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of moneythan have their lifework destroyed by gangsters.Six hundred years ago,Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled nearFlorence.He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as GiovanniAcuto.Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other,Hawkwood used to rent hissoldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded.In times of peace,whenbusiness was bad,Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and,after burning downa few farms,would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them.Hawkwood made largesums of money in this way.In spite of this,the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero.When hedied at the age of eighty,the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a picture painted to thememory of the most valiant(勇敢的)soldier and most notable(卓越的)leader,Signor GiovanniHaukodue.61.If a businessman refused to pay protection money in Chicago,the gangster would_.62.It seems that Hawkwood was a criminal,but he displayed his _ when he knewpeople would rather pay money than be hurt.63.Hawkwood led his soldiers to join the Italian war

item:2)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from thefour choices marked A,B,C and D.Questions 66 to 70 are based on the same passage or dialog.The AIDS virus is carried in a persons body fluids(体液).The virus can be passed during sex withan infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous(静脉注射的)drugs.It canalso be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant(怀孕的)woman with AIDSto her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false.You cannot get AIDS from working or attendingschool with someone who has the disease.You cannot get it from drinking glasses or otherobjects used by such persons.Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with,caring for,ortouching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS.They include always feeling tired,unexplained(无法解释的)weight loss,and uncontrolled expulsion(排泄)of body wastes.Otherwarning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth,dark red areas of skin that do notgo away,and a higher than normal body temperature.However,just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS.Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination.The doctor may give you anAIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body,the bodys defenses against disease produce antibodies(抗体)tofight the virus.The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus.Results ofthe test are known after a few hours.The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS-第 12 页-antibodies.It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease.In December(1988),the United States government approved(批准)a simpler and faster AIDS blood test.The newertest can confirm(证实)the
