When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement. When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere.? In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.? Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of "keeping your name before the public." And some people thought that advertising was "truth well told." Now more and more people describe it in this way: Advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive description of goods, services and ideas by identified sponsors (明确的出资者) through various media. First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. It is not face to face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it tells people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can do good to them. Fourth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or an organization, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and nontraditional mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Nontraditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards.? 1.

According to the passage, who are most probably paying for the advertisements? A. Companies. B. Organizations. C. Individuals. D. All of the above.? 3. Which of the following is considered nontraditional mass media? A. Newspapers B. Magazines C. The mail D. Films? 4. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the features of advertisements is NOT true?? A. The sponsors are always mentioned in the advertisements. B. Advertising is meant for large groups of people.? C. Advertising tells people to do something directly or indirectly.? D. Advertising must be honest and amusing.? |

An argument is appearing in Los Angeles over whether a newspaper should publish teachers' names along with an analysis of how well they do in raising their students' standardized test scores. Some people argue that transparency(透明) should exist at all costs, but others hold that it's unfair to label individual teachers using possibly flawed(有瑕疵的) statistics. Some worry that anger over the forthcoming Los Angeles Times article will make people oppose so-called "value added" analysis of teacher performance, which is the method the Times uses. "This incident with the L.A. Times is where the advocates(提倡者) for value-added are getting a bit ahead of themselves," says Douglas Harris, an education professor. "Teachers are already feeling under the gun on this kind of thing." "Value-added data" is the latest trend in teacher responsibility: the idea that a student's gain from the previous year's test ? as opposed to his or her overall performance ? can be measured and tied to the latest teacher. "There are too many variables(变量) in the testing process," says A.J. Duffy. But he says he opposes using value-added data in evaluations at all, although he acknowledges it could be a useful tool to give teachers feedback. "I believe in a system that emphasizes the whole student, not just standardized tests," he says. Proponents(支持者) of value-added say that's a valid criticism, agreeing that no one should expect that student gains on a standardized test could capture the creativity or broader enrichment that goes on in many teachers' classrooms. The District of Columbia which attracted argument for its decision to fire teachers based in part on value-added data, uses that data for 50 percent of the evaluation, relying on other measures such as classroom observation for the rest. "No one is suggesting using it as a single measure of performance," says Paige Kowalski. Barnett Berry, a professor, is even more critical of it. Value-added data can be useful, he and others say, but it's important to acknowledge its limitations. It doesn't take into account, for instance, constant student absence and learning gains due to summer school, after-school programs, or supplemental teachers, such as reading specialists. 1. The tone of the underlined sentence is that of _______. A. praise B. warning C. anger D. threat 2. In the opinion of Mr. Duffy, teachers should be judged by _______. A. the value-added data of the times B. students' scores of standardized tests C. the whole development of a student D. the feedback of students and parents 3. The underlined word "it" in Para. 6 refers to _______. A. the creativity or broader enrichment B. a standardized test C. classroom observation D. value-added data 4. What's the passage mainly about? A. How well teachers can do in raising students' scores B. Whether teachers should be linked to student's scores C. Who opposes value-added analysis of teacher performance. D. Why the Los Angeles Times plans to publish names of teachers. |

One of Vancouver's nicknames is Hollywood North. This name comes from the fact that Vancouver is the third most filmed city in North America behind Los Angeles and New York City. Vancouver became known as a filming destination because it is a perfect stand-in(替身) for other cities. Shot from the right angles, the downtown core could look like New York, Seattle, Boston or a variety of other places. Also, the architectural smorgasbord(大杂烩) that is Vancouver, the low Canadian dollar, and generous tax subsidies(税收补贴) attracted film production companies to the city. Many would accuse Vancouver of simply being a stand-in city, and not really being of any significance to the overall culture of film production. However, this has proven not to be the case. The creative establishment in the film sector has realized that Vancouver is more than just a stand-in; it is a city that is filled with talent. Earlier this year Pixar Studios opened an animation studio in Vancouver. The animators made famous by such hits as Toy Story, Monsters Inc, and Wall-E, demonstrated that Vancouver is now a major player in the film industry by opening up shops in the city. Amir Nasrabadi, the General Manager for Pixar Canada said the company decided to open an office in the city because of the "very mature(成熟的), high-quality talent pool, driven primary by the strength of the industry and great local universities and schools" For now the studio will work as a satellite branch of Pixar's California studios, but future plans include the Vancouver studio taking on its own feature films. The British Columbia Film Commissioner, Susan Croome, told CTV News in an interview that "Pixar's announcement is absolutely fantastic". When asked if this expansion of Vancouver's film industry was the result of favorable exchange rates, she responded that it wasn't, and the company was making plans for the long term. 1. Vancouver has the nickname of Hollywood North because _______. A. the number of films it makes is second to Hollywood B. it is one of the most filmed cities in North America C. it looks much like Hollywood D. it lies in north of Hollywood 2. What is a factor that makes Vancouver an attractive city for film production? A. Lower expenses B. Historical places C. Pixar Studios opening an animation studio D. Right angles suitable for shooting films 4. In Susan Croome's opinion, _______ A. Pixar's announcement is hard to understand B. good exchange rates can attract famous companies C. Pixar Studios should open more offices in Vancouver D. Pixar's decision is based on long term considerations 5. It is suggested in the passage that Vancouver _______. A. is more than a stand-in city for making films B. is best known for its animation films C. has become a major film producer D. is a poor but talented city |

Recently, my classmates have had a heated discussion about if we should have optional courses (选修课) in high schools. Some students were in favor of optional courses. They say interest is best teacher and our spare time will be colorful and meaningful. Students can not only enlarge their knowledges but also improve their abilities. However, others are against the idea, said that optional courses will take up too much time as well as energy. Besides, some optional courses have something to do with the College Entrance Examination. They are afraid they'll fall behind their classmates if they will take optional courses. I'd like to take one or two of the optional courses, which, I think, will certain benefit me lot. _____________________________________________________________________________ |
