16、s was almost entirely 39. the disease. Today, polio is all but forgotten, as it has 40. disappeared from developed countries. Questions 41 to 55 are based on the following passage.I remember the day I was told I had polio very well. That morning, I was in physical 41. class at school, and we were ou

17、t playing football. I noticed 42. I was running, my leg was weak and 43. work right.

Part 3 Skimming and Scanning (True/False) (Each item: 2) Directions:Read the following passage. Then decide whether the

21、following statements are True or False.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog.Time limit: 4 minutes and 20 seconds Advertising (广告) can be thought of as the means of making something known in order to buy or sell goods or services. Advertising aims to increase peoples awareness a

22、nd arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message, and the press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television, although more expens

23、ive can be very effective. Posters (海报) are fairly cheap and more permanent (永久地) in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer (消费者) interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising. We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid by the pro

24、ducer or by the consumer. Since advertising forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large-scale advertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer

25、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 is clear is that busine

26、sses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them. 56.The purpose of advertisements is to warn.TF57.Advertising makes use of mass media.TF58.When the increased demand for the commodity (商品) has cut production expenses, the cost of the advertisement is paid

28、ks to complete the statements that follow the passage.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Time limit: 4 minutes and 21 seconds There was a time when the owners of the shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters (歹徒) in return for protection. If the m

29、oney was not paid immediately, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Getting protection money is not a modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums

30、of money than have their lifework destroyed by gangsters. Six hundred years ago, Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war

31、with each other, Hawkwood used to rent his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to

32、them. Hawkwood made large sums of money in this way. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero. When he died at the age of eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a picture painted to the memory of the most valiant (勇敢的) soldier and most notable (卓越的) leader, Sig

33、nor Giovanni Haukodue. 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 knew people would rather pay money than be hurt.63.Hawkwood led his soldiers to join the Italian war in order to _.64.A

35、 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 with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的) drugs. It can also be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a

36、pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby. Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS from working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it from drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caugh

37、t AIDS by living with, caring for, or touching 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. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on th

38、e mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go 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 an AIDS blood test. W

39、hen a virus enters the body, the bodys defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot

40、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 newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes. 66.The AIDS virus can spread _.A. only from

The doctors complete examinationQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.In the United States, about 750,000 persons have suffered from AIDS. More than one half of them have died. But doctors say evidence (证据) also s

45、hows there is no reason for persons to become terrified (惊吓) by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an infected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities. A study by one research team was prin

46、ted in the New England Journal (杂志) of Medicine. The doctors studied 101 family members who lived with AIDS and lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients. These included toothbrushes, drinking glasses, beds, towels, and toilets. Doctors said only on

47、e family membera five-year-old girlgot the AIDS virus. They note, however, that the girls mother had the disease. They believe the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease. The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools, and other public places. Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason to punish AIDS pati
