not agree because of some of the criticism of it,advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom,and a very 16 proportion of the world live.Advertising is necessary as a 17 of communicating with others,of telling them about the goods and services that are offered,and of which most of them would never 18 to hear at all if it were not for advertising.And advertising helps a great deal to promote a 19 standard of living.In talking about advertising,one should not think only 20 a commercial on television,or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals.In its widest 21 ,advertising includes a host of other 22 such as packaging,shop displays and in the sense of communication even the spoken word of the salesman.23 ,the roots of advertising are to be found in the market place.For many years it was thought that it was enough to 24 goods and supply services,it is only more 25 that it has become increasingly understood that the production of goods is a waste of resources 26 those goods can be sold at a fair price within a 27 time span.In the competitive society in which we live,it is essential that we go out and sell what we have to offer,and advertising plays an important role in this respect,whether selling at home or in 28 markets.Approximately 2 percent of the UK gross national product(GDP)is spent on advertising.But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them.Of course,advertising does try to attract the interest of the 29 consumer,but if the articles when 30 does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will,it is obviously exceedingly unlikely that the article will sell well.16.A.enjoyable B.considerable C.agreeable D.knowledgeable 17.A.data B.proportion C.means D.message 18.A.get B.put C.find D.avoid 19.A.demanding B.raising C.declining D.rising 20.A.in honor of B.in case of C.in terms of D.in favor of 21.A.sense B.border C.level D.extent 22.A.conferences B.activities C.matters D.actions 23.A.Of all B.In all C.Above all D.After all 24.A.protest B.program C.process D.produce 25.A.quickly B.immediately C.recently D.totally 26.A.unless B.though C.until D.when 27.A.inevitable B.comfortable C.reasonable D.available 28.A.country B.import C.job D.export 29.A.financial B.potential C.essential D.social 30.A.presented B.purchased C.responded D.respected 三、阅读理解（共两节，满分45分）第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共 20 小题；每小题 2 分，共 40 分）A Every one of the gymnasts who went to National Qualifiers(国家冠军赛资格赛)showed up with that goal in mind.Everyone gave it their all.And I hate admitting it,but I was an exception.I did not do my best.Not for the ribbon exercise,nor for the club exercise.Knowing that I could have reached a little further to catch my ribbon,focused a little more so the stick wouldnt slip through my fingers,tried a little harder to clean up those errors,but I didnt,still bothers me.After my disappointing competition,I tried my best to keep my eyes dry.But soon tears burned the edges of my eyes,and as I blinked,the first tear rolled down my cheek.Even though I angrily wiped my tears away before she looked at me,the evidence of my self-pity session presented itself clearly in the form of dirty makeup and reddened eyes.My mom hated to see me cry,especially because I had no right or reason to.I had messed up that wasnt anyones fault but mine and crying wouldnt help at all.“Why are you crying,Amanda?”she asked,perhaps more pointedly(尖刻地)than intended,but I heard the concern in her voice.Unable to form all the emotions into words,I just looked away and avoided her questions.“Tell me now why youre crying.”Her voice this time wasnt as gentle as it was before;it was filled with frustration and impatience.“Why are you crying?”she whispered again,but this time her voice was shaky and flooded with pain.This was the first time Id ever seen my mom cry;my mom,who was always so strong and was there to encourage me through the roughest times,was now crying,and I was the reason for it.Finding my voice,I tentatively asked,“Why are you crying?”She looked at me and answered exactly what I was afraid to hear,“I hate to see you hurting yourself.”So it was my fault.I had put those tears in her eyes.I had filled her with pain,with helplessness and with sadness.Ill never forget her pained expression.It forced me to realize how shortsighted and close-minded Id been.I decided that no matter what happens in the future,I will never lose myself to regret.31.Why did Amanda feel regretful after the competition?A.Because she wasnt admitted to the club.B.Because she dropped her ribbon suddenly.C.Because she broke the rule of the competition.D.Because she didnt try her best to compete.32.What did Amanda try to hide on the way back?A.Her silent tears.B.The disappointing scores.C.Her dirty makeup.D.The evidence of failure.33.Which words reflect the change of the mothers emotions?A.Painful impatient concerned B.Concerned frustrated painful C.Satisfied painful frustrated D.Frustrated angry painful 34.What did Amanda determine to do?A.Never cry in face of her mom.B.Never compete as a gymnast.C.Never involve herself in self-pity.D.Never make up before games.35.The best title of the passage is probably _.A.My painful experience as a gymnast B.The tears I wiped away for my mother C.The fiercest competition I lost D.The worst thing I ever felt:regret B What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop?The products displayed at the entrance?Or the soft background music?But have you ever noticed the smell?Unless it is bad,the answer is likely to be no.But while a shops scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds,it is certainly there.And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance,via scent machines.A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into stores,customers intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris,scent is just as important to a brands success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale.This is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants disproving attitude and dont-touch-what-you-cant-afford displays.Now the rise of electronic commerce(e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience.But while e-shops can use sights and sounds,only bricks-and-mortar shops(实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave.Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop,but rather a destination.And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now,a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department,and coconut scent in the swimsuit section.A department store has even opened a new lab,inviting customers on a journey into the stores windows to smell books,pots and drawers,in search of their perfect scent.36.According to the passage,what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand stores?A.Friendly assistance.B.Unique scent.C.Soft background music.D.Attractive window display.37.E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _.A.show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores B.urge shop assistants to change their attitude C.push stores to use sights and sounds D.introduce the rise of e-commerce 38.What does the underlined word“destination”in Paragraph 5 mean?A.A platform that exhibits goods.B.A spot where travelers like to stay.C.A place where customers love to go.D.A target that a store expects to meet.39.Which statement would the writer agree with?A.Put different scents on the products on display.B.Ask every shop assistant to wear light perfume.C.Place fragrant flowers in the shop.D.Expose some coffee bean to air inside a coffee shop.40.The main purpose of the passage is to _.A.compare and evaluate B.examine and assess C.inform and explain D.argue and discuss
