二.快速阅读(9:30-9:45)Media Selection for AdvertisementsAfter determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home. Internet, and direct mail.TelevisionTelevision is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication.But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.Television's influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance.is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smaller and more homogeneous(具有共同特点的) than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.Newspaper?After television, the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenue is newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually, ii m increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40% and is now available for home delivery in ion ciues. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium.Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer. more detailed message to their audience than they can through 48 hours,meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the massage out.Newspapers are ofen the most important form of news for a local community, and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local reader.RadioAdvertising on radio continues to grow Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor bill-boards (广告牌) and ihe Internet to reach even more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television, which means advertisers can afford to repeal their ads often. Internet companies are also turning 10 radio advertising. Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day.Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work, at work, on the way home, and in the evening hours.Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods. Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the local stations they could receive in the past. As a result, radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart.MagazinesNewsweeklies, women’s titles, and business magazines have all seen increases in advertising because they attract the high-end market, magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver. A broadcast medium such as network television attracts all types of audience members, but magazine audiences are more homogeneous, if you read sports illustrated, for example, you have much in common with the magazine’s other readers. Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members.Advertiser using the print media-magazines and newspapers-will need to adapt to two main changes. First, the internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers, these second. Advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences, a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.Out-of-home advertisingOut-of-home advertising. Also called place-based advertising, has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers, who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television. Using billboards, newsstands, and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these on-the-go consumers. More consumers travel longer distances to and from work, which also makes out-of-home advertising effective, technology has changed the nature of the billboard business, making it a more effective mediumthan in the past.Using digital printing, billboard companies can print a billboard in 2 hours, compared with 6 days previously. This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they. Can change their messages more quickly.InternetAs consumers become more comfortable with online shopping, advertisers will seek to reach this market As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet, the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease. The challenge to Internet advertisers Is to create ads that audience members remember.Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations' advertising in the near ftuture. Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous, but small. Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the online medium as well.Direct mailA final advertising medium is direct mail, which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client's message Direct mail includes newsletters. postcards and special promotions. Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumers.For many businesses.direct mail is the most effective from of advertising.1.

2003 年 12 月大学英语四级真题阅读完型词汇作文部分大学英语四级六级考试 Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) , Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. , Passage One , Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. , I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. , Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation -brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things -- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. ,Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope. , At the top of the list is nurturing ( 培育 ) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. , To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep. , Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的 violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games 虚拟的) 虚拟的 and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. , Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale. , Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life. , 21. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are. , A) surprising C) illogical ,B) confusing D) questionable , 22. What does the author mean when he says, "we can't turn the clock back" (Line 1, Para. 3)? , A) It's impossible to slow down the pace of change. , B) The social reality children are facing cannot be changed. , C) Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten. , D) It's impossible to forget the past. ,23. According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago. , A) were less isolated physically , B) were probably less self-centered , C) probably suffered less from anxiety , D) were considered less individualistic , 24. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is . , A) to provide them with a safer environment ,B) to lower their expectations for them , C) to get them more involved socially ,D) to set a good model for them to follow , 25. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? , A) Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with. , B) Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated. , C) Children's anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care. , D) Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature. ,, Passage Two , Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. , It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints ( 约束 ) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don't at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth's story: , I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle ( 小隔间 ) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way. , It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but "nice" isn't a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it. , Performance is your best bargaining chip ( 筹码 ) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want. ,Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. , What will someone else pay for your services? , Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction. , 26. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should . , A) demonstrate his capability C) ask for as much money as he can , B) give his boss a good impression D) ask for the salary he hopes to get , 27. What can be inferred from Beth's story? , A) Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations. , B) If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it. , C) People should not be content with what they have got. , D) People should be careful when negotiating for a job. , 28. We can learn from the passage that . , A) unfairness exists in salary increases , B) most people are overworked and underpaid , C) one should avoid overstating one's performance , D) most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises , 29. To get a pay raise, a person should. , A) advertise himself on the job market ,B) persuade his boss to sign a long-term contract , C) try to get inside information about the organization , D) do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions , 30. To be successful in negotiations, one must. , A) meet his boss at the appropriate time , B) arrive at the negotiation table punctually , C) be good at influencing the outcome of the interaction , D) be familiar with what the bosslikes and dislikes ,, Passage Three ,Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. , When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma's generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best. , But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware ( 粗陶粗陶) -and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it , spells economic hard times. , Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷 region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier. ,陶瓷) 陶瓷 Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television; , Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time? , Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette ( 礼节 ) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents ("Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table.") must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially. , 31. The trend toward casual dining has resulted in. , A) bankruptcy of fine china manufacturers ,B) shrinking of the pottery industry ,C) restructuring of large enterprises , D) economic recession in Great Britain , 32. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining? , A) Family members need more time to relax. , B) Busy schedules leave people no time for formality. ,C) People want to practice economy in times of scarcity. , D) Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation. , 33. It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is. , A) a retailer of stainless steel tableware C) a pottery chain store , B) a dealer in stoneware D) a producer of fine china ,34. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is. , A) the increased value of the pound , B) the economic recession in Asia , C) the change in people's way of life , D) the fierce competition at home and abroad , 35. Refined table manners, though less popular than before in current social life. , A) are still a must on certain occasions , B) axe bound to return sooner or later , C) are still being taught by parents at home , D) can help improve personal relationships ,, Passage Four , Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. , Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type ofhouse won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects. , Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane ( 飓风 ) Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state. , Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. , At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble "a large party lantern ( 灯笼 )" at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength. , To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings -- long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff. , Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained. , 36. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina's shore line are required. ,A) to be easily reinforced C) to meet stricter building standards , B) to look smarter in design D) to be designed in the shape of cubes , 37. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because. , A) it is strengthened by steel rods C) it is in the shape of a shell , B) it is made of redwood D) it is built with timber and concrete , 38. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to . , A) withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hr , B) anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand , C) break huge sea waves intosmaller ones , D) prevent water from rushing into the house , 39. The main function of the shell is , A) to strengthen the pilings of the house , B) to give the house a better appearance ,c) to protect the wooden frame of the house , D) to slow down the speed of the swelling water , 40. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be. , A) fancy-looking C) easily breakable ,B) waterproof D) extremely strong ,,Vocabulary , Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

In the race to improve educational standards, 72 are throwing the books at kids. 73 elementary school students are complaining of homework 74 . What's a well-meaning parent to do? , As hard as 75 may be, sit back and chill, experts advise. Though you've got to get them to do it, 76 helping too much, or even examining 77 too carefully, you may keep them 78 doing it by themselves.
