The New York Times Sunday edition 36 may contain 350 pages of advertisements. Some radio stations devote 40 minutes of every hour to 37. Then there is television. According to one estimate, American youngsters sit 38 three hours of television commercials each week. By the time they graduate from high school, they will have been 39 360,000 TV ads. Televisions advertise in airports, hospital waiting rooms, and schools. Major sporting 40 are now major advertising events. Racing cars serve as high speed 41 . Some athletes receive most of their money from advertisers. One 42 basketball player earned $3.9 million by playing ball. Advertisers paid him nine times that much to 43 their products. There is no escape. Commercial ads are displayed on walls, buses, and trucks. They decorate the inside of taxis and subways-even the doors of public toilets. 44 messages call to us in supermarkets, stores, elevators-and 45 we are on hold on the telephone. In some countries so much advertising comes through the mail that many recipients proceed directly from the mailbox to the nearest wastebasket to 46 the junk mail. 47 Insiders Report, published by McCann-Erickson, a global advertising agency, the estimated 48 of money spent on advertising worldwide in 1990 was $275.5 billion. Since then, the figures have 49 to $411.6 billion for 1.997 and a projected $434.4 billion for 1998. Big money! What is the effect of all of this? One analyst 50 it this way: Advertising is one of the most powerful socializing forces in the culture. Ads sell more than products. They sell images, values, goals, concepts of who we are and who we should be. They shape our attitudes and our attitudes shape our behavior.36.A.lonelyB.aloneC.singlyD.individually37.A.commerceB.consumersC.commercialsD.commodities38.A.throughB.up C.in D.about39.A.taken to B.spent in C.expected of D.exposed to40.A.incidents B.affairsC.eventsD.programs41.A.flashes B.billboards C.attractions D.messages42.A.top-heavy B.top-talented C.top-secret D.top-ranking43.A.improveB.promote C.urgeD.update44.A.AudioB.StudioC.Oral D.Video45.A.sinceB.while C.even D.if46.A.toss out B.lay downC.blow out D.break down47.A.It is said that B.Apart fromC.According to D.Including in48.A.digit B.amount C.account D.budget49.A.raised B.elevated C.roared D.soared50.A.said B.recorded C.told D.putPART IV READING COMPREHENSION (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)Passage One For decades, arms-control talks centered on nuclear weapons. This is hardly surprising, since a single nuclear bomb can destroy an entire city. Yet, unlike smaller arms, these immensely powerful weapons have not been used in war in over 50 years. Historian John Keegan writes: Nuclear weapons have, since August 9, 1945, killed no one. The 50,000,000 who have died in war since that date have for the most part, been killed by cheap, mass-produced weapons and small ammunition, costing little more than the transistor radios which have flooded the world in the same period. Because small weapons have disrupted life very little in the advanced world, outside the restricted localities where drug-dealing and political terrorism flourish, the populations of the rich states have been slow to recognize the horror that this pollution has brought in its train. Why have small arms become the weapons of choice in recent wars? Part of the reason lies in the relationship between conflict and poverty. Most of the wars fought during the 1990s took place in countries that are poor-too poor to buy sophisticated weapon systems. Small arms and light weapons are a bargain. For example, 50 million dollars, which is approximately the cost of a single modem jet fighter, can equip an army with 200,000 assault rifles. Another reason why small weapons are so popular is that they are lethal. A single rapid-fire assault rifle can fire hundreds of rounds a minute. They are also easy to use and maintain. A child often can be taught to strip and reassemble a typical assault rifle. A child can also quickly learn to aim and fire that rifle into a crowd of people. The global traffic in guns is complex. The illegal trade of small arms is big. In some African wars, paramilitary groups have bought billions of dollars worth of small arms and light weapons, not with money, but with diamonds seized from diamond-mining areas. Weapons are also linked to the illegal trade in drugs. !t is not unusual for criminal organizations to use the same routes to smuggle drugs in one direction and to smuggle guns in the other. 51. It is implied in the passage that_. A. small arms-control is more important than nuclear arms-control B. the nuclear arms-control talks can never reach an agreement C. the power of nuclear weapons to kill people has been diminished D. nuclear weapons were the topic of arms-control talks 50 years ago 52. The advanced world neglect the problems of small arms because _. A. They have to deal with drug-dealing and political terrorism B. They have no such problems as are caused by small weapons C. They have not recognized the seriousness of the problems in time D. They face other more important problems such as pollution 53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for the prevalence of small arms? A. Small arms are cheap. B. Small arms are powerful. C. Small arms are easier to use. D. Small arms are easier to get.54. We can conclude from the passage that_. A. small arms are not expensive in the black-market B. it is unfair to exchange small arms for diamond C. criminals use the same passage to smuggle drugs and small arms D. where there are drugs, there are small arms55. The best title for this passage is_. A. Small Arms Talks, Not Nuclear Arms Talks B. Neglect of Small Arms Control C. Global Traffic in Small Arms D. Small Arms, Big ProblemsPassage Two In order to combat sickness, many doctors rely heavily on prescribing medicines that are developed and aggressively advertised by pharmaceutical companies. Significantly, the world market for such drugs has skyrocketed in recent decades, from just a few billion dollars a year to hundreds of billions of dollars annually. What has been a consequence? Medically prescribed drugs have helped many people. Yet, the health of some who take drugs has either remained unchanged or become worse. So, recently some have turned to using other methods of medical treatment. In places where modem, conventional medicine has been the standard of care, many are now turning to what have been called alternative, or complementary, therapies. The Berlin Wall that has long divided alternative therapies from mainstream medicine appears to be crumbling, said Consumer Reports of May 2000. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) observed, Alternative medical therapies such as the use of herbs, functionally defined as interventions neither taught widely in medical schools nor generally available in US hospitals, have attracted increased national attention from the media, the medical community, governmental agencies, and the public. In the past, conventional medical practitioners have been skeptical about alternative medical practices, but 75 medical schools in the United States currently offer elective course work on alternative medicine, including Harvard, Stanford, University of Arizona, and Yale. JAMA noted, Now an estimated 3 in 5 individuals seeing a medical doctor for a principal condition also used an alternative therapy. And outside the United States, alternative medicine is popular throughout the industrialized world. The trend toward integrating alternative therapies with conventional ones has long been a general practice in many countries. As JAMA concluded, There are no longer two types of medicine, conventional and complementary. There is only good medicine and bad medicine.56. This passage suggests that pharmaceutical companies_. A. pay doctors for prescribing their drugs B. have raised the prices of their products sharply in recent years C. spend more money on their advertisements than on their products D. have produced some ineffective drugs57. The sentence The Berlin Wall .appears to be crumbling in the third paragraph implies that_. A. the restrictions on the practice of alternative therapies will be abolished B. there are still strict restrictions on the practice of alternative drugs C. conventional medicine and alternative therapies are incomparable D. conventional medicine and alternative therapies are completely different remedies58. According to the passage, alternative therapies _. A. are widely taught in the US medical schools now B. have been approved by US government C. have been used by many American patients D. are as popular as conventional medicine59. JAMA seems to suggest that _. A. US government should meet the increasing demands for alternative therapies B. a medicine is good after it proves to be beneficial to the patients C. pharmaceutical companies should cover the cost of alternative therapies D. conventional medicine and alternative medicine should join hands60. It is implied in the passage that _. A. we should take as little western medicine as possible B. the prices of the prescribed medicine should be reduced C. herbal medicine will be accepted by more Americans D. without the help of alternative medicine, good health can not be guaranteed Passage Three Our Milky Way galaxy could contain up to 1 billion Earth-like planets capable of supporting life, scientists announced last week. The theoretical abundance of habitable worlds among the estimated 200 billion stars of our home galaxy suggests that more powerful telescopes might glimpse the faint signature of far-off planet, proving that, in size and temperature at least, we are not alone in the universe. Solar systems such as Earths, in which planets orbit a star, have been discovered. Astronomers have identified almost 100 planets in orbit around other suns. All are enormous, and of the same gaseous make-up as Jupiter. Barrie Jones of the Open University in UK and his colleague Nick Sleep have worked out how to predict which of the newly discovered solar systems is likely to harbor Earth-like planets. Using a computer, they have created mathematical models of planetary systems and seeded them with hypothetical Earths in Goldilocks zone orbits, where it is neither too hot nor too cold to support life. The computer simulates which of these model
