10、ing story was reported of atramp(流浪汉)who，apparently throu9h no fault of his own，found himself locked in awell-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded withlast-minute Christmas shoppers. and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Allthe proper security check

11、s were made before the store was locked and they le t to enjoythe three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmaspresents. However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the . store and decided to makethe best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping

12、equipment, of which he madegood use. There must a so have been- television sets and radios. Though it was notreported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he wasdiscovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to havebeen a man of good humor a

13、nd philosophic temperament-as indeed tramps ve rycommonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why heshould not do the same. He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken away by thepolice. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent lo prison forse

14、ven days. The judge awarded no compensation (赔偿)to the chain store for the foodand drink our tramp had consumed.

18、he risks of subs lance abuse seem to deter somepeople from using -dangerous substances, if such efforts are realistic about what isgenuinely dangerous and what is not. Observed declines in the use of such drugs as LSD,PCP, and Quaaludes since the early 1970s are probably related to increased awarene

19、ssof the risks of their use, and some of this- awareness was the result of warnings aboutthese drugs in underground papers read by drug users. Such sources are influential,because they do not give a simple all drugs are terrible for you message. Drug usersknow there are big variations in danger amon

20、g drugs and antidrug education that ignoresor denies this is likely to be ridiculed. This is illustrated by the popularity among youngmarijuana users of Reefer Madness, a widely unrealistic propaganda film againstmarijuana made in the 1930s.

Although persuasion can work for some people if it is balanced and reasonable, otherpeople seem immune to the most reasoned edu

22、cation a) efforts. Millions have startedsmoking even though the considerable health risks of smoking have been well known andpublicized for years. Moreover, the usefulness of education lies in primary prevention:prevention of abuse among those who presently have no problems. Hence, Bomiers (1978) co

23、ntention that if the Pepsi generation can be persuaded to drink pop wine, theycan be persuaded not to drink it while driving is probably not correct, since most drunkendriving is done by people who already have significant drinking problems, and henceseem not to be dissuaded even by much stronger me

26、tial because_A. it ignores the fact that drugs vary greatly in dangerB. it gives a false account of the risks of drug useC. some drugs are good for healthD. it does not appear in underground papers24.

30、on bear-hunting or berry-picking , but onagriculture. They live, in many respects, as their ancestors did centuries ago. These twogroups taken together compose perhaps 70 percent of all living human beings. They arepeople of the past. By contrast, somewhat more than 25 percent of the earths populati

31、on can be found inthe industrialized societies. They lead modern lives. They are products of the first half ofthe twentieth century, molded by mechanization and mass education, brought up withlingering memories of their own countrys agricultural past. They are, in effect, the peopleof the present. T

32、he remaining 2 or 3 percent of the worlds population, however, are no longer peopleof either the past or the present. For within the main canters of technological and culturalchange, in Santa Monica, California and Can-, bridge, Massachusetts, in New York andLondon, and Tokyo, are millions of men an

33、d women who can already be said to be livingthe way of life of I he future. Trend makers often without being aware of it, they live todayas millions will live tomorrow. And while they account for only a few percent of I lie globalpopulation today, they already form an international nation of the fut

34、ure in our midst. Theyare the advance agents of man, the earliest citizens of the world-wide super-industrialsociety now in the throes of birth.What makes them different from the rest of mankind? Certainly, they are richer, bettereducated, more mobile than the majority of I he human race. They also

35、live longer. Butwhat specifically marks the people of the future is the fact that they are already caught upin a new, stepped-up pace of life. They live faster than the people around them.26. The main argument in this pa$ sage is that_A. a small percentage of the worlds population is already living

36、in I he futureB. the majority should say what the future will be likeC. the new pace of life is actually nothing newD. however we live, we I must all face an increased pace of life27.

The people of (he present, in I he writers u6e of the words, are I hose who_A. rely on their countrys agricultural pastB. spend their time examining different ra

38、cesC. have been shaped by industrialization and mass educationD. are constantly trying to change life as they see it29. From what the writer says, tread makers are people who_A. live in large cities all over the worldB. dream about the FutureC. set I he pattern of life for the futureD. make changes

39、in culture and technology30. The most important point about the 2 or 3 percent is that theyA. have a better educationB. travel far and wide and generally live longerC. are trapped by their environ men I D. enjoy a faster pace of lifeQuestions 31 to 35 are based. on the following passage. One of the

40、most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of theadvertisers. Its strident clamor dominates our lives. It shouts at us from the televisionscreen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper;plucks at our sleeves on the I escalator; signals to

41、us from the roadside billboards al dayand flashes messages to us in colored lights all night. It has forced on us a whole newconception of the successful man as a man no less than 20% of whose mail consists ofannouncements o giant carpet sales. Advertising has been among Englands biggest growth indu

42、stries since the war, interms of the ratio of money earnings to demonstrable achievement. Why all this fantasticexpenditure? Perhaps the answer is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to thinkabout the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quiteenough

43、 to thin I ( about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. Thedesigner is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems ofman-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and ma ethe thing and leave it lo the advertiser to find elev

44、en ways of making it appeal topurchasers afi1er they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love,or signifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, themanufacturer is in c over. Other manufacturers find advertising saves them changing t

45、heir product. Andmanufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one which goes on unchanged for ever.If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for - how muchbetter to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by product, rather than go to allthe inconvenience of ch

46、anging the product itself.31 .
