10、分 第一节: 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 ANo one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization,which means that p
11、eople would specialize,or focus,on doing one specific job.Lets take a man well call Mr. Fielder, for example .He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields,and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time,he did many other jobs on the farm. However,he didnt make the
12、 bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards,make the plows(犁),or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead,he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and workin
13、g with iron,Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr.Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps,he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was
14、 doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers.That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to fin
15、d Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.A mediu
16、m,in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some ki
17、nd of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get peoples attention.A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man,with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to
18、 spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was,in other words,not too different from a TV or radio commercial
19、 in todays world.21. What probably led to the start of advertising? _A. The discovery of iron.B. The specialization of labor.C. The appearance of new jobs.D. The development of farming techniques.22. To advertise his plows, Mr. Plowright _.A. praised his plows in publicB. placed a sign outside the s

About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic
22、”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result,songs sound like no
23、ise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact,most people cannot begin to grasp
24、what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However,this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret,
25、a seventyyearold woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret,scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference
26、is complex,and it doesnt involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊
27、断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say No thanks, Im amusic,” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to

31、brain structure. D. Identification and treatment of amusics. CTail SpinTwo dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin Grace,shows off a few of her tricks,turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her,however,is that shes even swimming a
32、t all. She doesnt have a tail. Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005,she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it?” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make itbut her tail didnt.
