11、oints, 1 point each) Most American magazines and newspapers reserve 60 percent of their pages for ads. 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, Americ

12、an 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 airport, hospital waiting rooms, and schools. Major sporting 40 are now major advertising events. Racing cars serve as hig

13、h-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 insid

In some countries so much advertising comes through the mail that many recipients proceed directly from the mailbox to the nearest wastebasket

15、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 1997 and a projected $ 434.4 billion for 1998. Big money. W

16、hat 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.

This is hardly surprising, since a single nuclear bomb can destroy an entire city. Yet, unlike smaller arms, these immensely powerful

20、 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 ammunitions, costing little

21、 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 r

22、ecognize 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

23、 sophisticated weapon systems. Small arms and light weapons are a bargain. For example, 50 million dollars, which is approximately the cost of a single modern 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

24、 rapid-fire assault rifle can fire hundreds of rounds a minute. They are also easy to use and maintain. A child of ten 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 comple

25、x. 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. It is not unusual for

26、 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 n

27、uclear 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 sma

28、ll 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 ar

29、e 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 smal

30、l arms. 55. 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 Problems. Passage Two In order to combat sickness, many doctors rely heavily on prescribing medicines that are developed and a

31、ggressively 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 had been a consequence? Medically prescribed drugs have helped many people. Y

32、et, 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 modern, 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 fr
