【正确答案】:
B
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
上句话在讲:
“newspapersraisetheiradvertisingrateswhentheircirculationincreases”。
由此可知,报纸的发行量越大,广告费用就越高,同理,电视也是如此。
收视率越高,广告费越高。
第2题
【正确答案】:
A
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
在考虑这些基本的问题的时候,我们可以看到“为什么大公司如福特、通用以及克莱斯勒公司等能够负得起巨额的全国性电视广告”;同时,我们也看到当地的百货商店不能从中获益的原因。
上句和A句使用了同样的结构“wecansee/wecanalsosee…”
第3题
【正确答案】:
E
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
尽管如此,随着区域(地方)性的大型商店及其分店的数量增加,使得地方性的电视台广告在小型的零售范围具有不少的优势。
从全国的电视台到地方电视台到报纸,报纸媒体也在尽力使它的广告形式更吸引小型公司。
因此,这里填入E比较合适。
第4题
【正确答案】:
G
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
随着电视作为广告媒体进入巅峰时期,无线电台的广告在听众数量方面有了不小的提高。
为什么呢?
电台广告常常有效地服务当地商人,费用低廉。
也就是说,全文只有它的上句提到了radioadvertising,这里应该接着讨论有关radioadvertising方面的事情。
第5题
【正确答案】:
D
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
另一种广告媒体就是邮寄广告册,但是这种做法太滥了“sooverdone,…iseffectivenesshasbeenimpaired”,且效果不大,因此,这里填入D,比较合适:
“这类的促销宣传应该精心策划,否则不如将它(direct-mail)扔进垃圾箱”。
