1、(9)Unit 1 The mass media一、阅读理解1. Have you ever noticed a character on a TV show or in a movie drinking your favorite brand of cola or driving your favorite type of sports car? This is called product placement, or PPL for short, and it is a form of advertising in which a product is inserted (插入) into
2、 the scene of a movie or a TV program. PPL has increased greatly in recent years, and has become some companies favorite method of advertising their products. If you saw the movie Spider-Man, you might have noticed ads for Samsung Electronics, Toyota cars, and Dr. Pepper soda. Companies love the con
3、venience of PPL: there are no commercials to make, models to hire, nor concepts to dream up. By featuring their product in a popular TV show or movie, that product is naturally connected with an appealing character in a comfortable setting. Take one of the main characters on Friends for example. Thi
4、nk about Rachel in a fine Ralph Lauren suit, working at a Ralph Lauren store in New York City. And entertainment producers have a crush on the money PPL brings inin fact, the entire production budget for some movies is sometimes paid by the films PPL advertisers. However, there is increasing objecti
5、on to the growing PPL trend. Critics say obvious PPL in movies or TV shows destroys viewers ability to escape into the fantasy world on the screen. Directors and writers hate having to include a product in a scene, mining the writing and aesthetic (美学的) quality of the piece. And consumer groups warn
6、 that kids cannot discern (觉察出) PPL. When, for example, a child sees his favorite character wiping her lips with a Kleenex after drinking Coca-Cola, it is likely that the child would falsely think that Kleenex and Coca- Cola are the general terms for all similar products. This suggests that PPL can
7、be a powerfully subconscious tool that encourages kids to develop preferences for certain brands. Regardless of how critics feel about it, there is little doubt that PPL will continue to play a significant part in entertainment for the foreseeable future.1.PPL is a type of ad that _.A. enables busin

10、. Doubtful.C. Cautious.D. Unconcerned.2. Advertising can be defined as a paid form of non-professional but encouraging, and positively favorable presentation of goods and services to a group of people by a sponsor. In the simplest words, advertising is an introduction to consumers and the general pu
11、blic, of services and goods. No company can guarantee to make a profit on any product unless it advertises first. Advertising creates brand awareness in the general public and makes business more popular within the circle of potential (潜在的) buyers. There are three types of media: print, broadcast, a
12、nd direct media. The first category consists of printed information sources newspapers and magazines, which are relatively cheap. Nearly everybody reads newspapers. Moreover, newspapers are generally local, which allows small, local businesses to advertise directly to their potential customers. But
13、most of the ads in newspapers have no color, and are not that appealing. Instead, you find opposite ads in the second type of print medium, magazines. For the advertiser, the greatest advantage of magazines is that they have specialized groups of readers. For example, the people who read Car and Dri
14、ver are probably not the same people who read Glamour, which is a womens magazine. Therefore, advertising in a magazine allows a business to direct its ads to the people who are most interested in the product. The second category is the broadcast media. Almost everybody listens to the radio, which i
15、s usually local. However, the radio is a background medium, and most listeners are doing something else while listening. Because radio listeners exist over many stations, a company may have to advertise at the same time on several stations to reach target audience. Millions of dollars are spent each
16、 year on radio ads, but more millions on television advertising. Of all the media, TV, with sound, sights, and motion, is the most dramatic. How many of you, for instance, can sing the slogan for Coca-Cola? Thats because TV permits ads to reach large numbers of people on a national or regional level
17、 in a short period of time. Mail, which costs little, is one of the direct media. Mail advertising messages are targeted on those most likely to buy the product or service. But unfortunately many are viewed as junk mail. Billboards, which you see when youre driving down the street, are useful becaus
18、e they are colorful and easy to see and short enough for drivers to read as they are passing by. Signs and posters appearing in the places where the product is being sold, such as supermarkets, are other direct media.1.According to the passage, why do companies advertise?A. Because advertisements ar
19、e non-professional but encouraging.B. Because companies will not make any profit if they dont advertise.C. Because ads make companies well recognized and business profitable.D. Because advertising is an introduction to consumers and the general public.2.The underlined part opposite ads in Paragraph
20、3 refers to _.A. ads in magazinesB. ads in newspapersC. ads which are colorful and appealingD. ads which have no color and are not appealing3.For a small local company to advertise, which of the following is it least likely to choose?A.

21、70 pilot whales got into difficulty on a sandbank at Macquarie Heads, near Strahan on Tasmanias west coast. Another 200 whales were found on Wednesday, making it Tasmanias largest recorded stranding event. The Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE) said that about a
22、third had died. Marine biologists arrived in the area to carry out rescue operations. They planned to use specialized equipment such as special tarpaulins (防水油布) to push the whales back into the deep water. The local police also assisted in the rescue. The whales that were stranded are pilot whales,
23、 and they are found in almost all the oceans of the world. Pilot whales are in fact one of the largest members of the dolphin family, but they are treated as whales. They were named pilot whales because it was thought that each pod followed a pilot in the group. Whale stranding, commonly known as be
24、aching, is a phenomenon in which whales and dolphins strand themselves on land, usually on a beach. Several explanations for why whales strand themselves have been proposed, including changes in water temperatures, unusual features of whales echolocation in certain surroundings, but none have so far
