1、Advertising are appreciated by manufacturers because they（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.advise them on ways of giving a product customer appeal

B.accept responsibility for giving a product customer appeal

C.advise them on the best time to go ahead with production

D.consult them during the design and development stages

正確答案:B

答案解析:第二段The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.在產(chǎn)品設(shè)計和研發(fā)階段，廠家可以有足夠的時間來考慮而不必?fù)?dān)心是否每個人都會買它。設(shè)計人員在忙于考慮諸如勞動力時間、機(jī)器強(qiáng)度以及壓力因素時可以不考慮消費(fèi)者喜好的因素。所以他們可以只管生產(chǎn)出產(chǎn)品然后讓廣告商通過聲稱此商品象征身份、地位，能夠吸引愛情或是彰顯男人魅力等，去尋找足夠的理由來吸引消費(fèi)者購買。倘若廣告代理果真能做到足夠令人信服，廠家則可高枕無憂了。因此選B。

2、This passage seems to be a(n)（）. 【閱讀理解A】

A.book review

B.advertisement

C.news report

D.research paper

正確答案:A

答案解析:是一篇書評，從最后一段，“The author offers a few examples of companies…but they offer little useful guidance…”可知。

3、Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Tipping is very popular in America

B.Better service deserves bigger tip

C.Discretionary tipping is not reasonable

D.Tipping embodies one\'s social status

正確答案:C

答案解析:A項僅僅指出了文中所論述的一個現(xiàn)象；B項是公眾的普遍看法，并非作者的觀點(diǎn)；D項是文章后面論述的一個次要觀點(diǎn)，并不能概括全文的主旨。

4、What did the future look like for Britain\'s food production at the time this article was written？（）【閱讀理解A】

A.The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers

B.An expansion of food production was at hand

C.British food producers would receive more government financial support

D.It looks depressing despite government guarantees.

正確答案:D

答案解析:仔細(xì)閱讀本文，便知本題的答案可由第5段第2和第3句引出，因此答案應(yīng)該是選D。由于文章第3段第1句的government support說的是the gradual cutting down of government support for food，不是說英國政府對糧食生產(chǎn)者提供財政上的支持，因此選項C是錯的。文中內(nèi)容并未涉及選項A和B，因此A項和B項也是錯的。

5、According to the last paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Nobody benefits from tipping in the case of restaurant

B.Waiters are not motivated from tipping

C.Tipping does not benefit management of the restaurant

D.Tips should go into the decent wages of service people

正確答案:A

答案解析:題干要求找出不正確的選項。B、C項為事實。D項為作者觀點(diǎn)，從文章最后一句推知。A項推論過急，實際上，我們可看出“service people”從小費(fèi)中得到了好處。
