Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As you can imagine, there are numerous types of advertisements in different mediums, on different channels, and have different goals for their business.
1.Print Advertising
The first print ad ran in England in 1472.Since then, this type of advertising has become available in newspapers, magazines, and similar methods of carrying a brand's message to its ideal end user.In this ad method, the advertiser pays the publisher to place their ad in the publication.
2.Radio Advertising
Radio advertising dates back to 1920, when the first commercial radio stations were launched in the United States.In this ad method, the advertiser pays the radio station to play their ad during selected breaks between music or a radio show.
3.Television Advertising
Television ads originated in the 1940s with the promotion of practical items and political campaigns.In this ad method, the advertiser pays the local or national TV network to show their ad during selected breaks in the network's regular programming.
4.Internet Advertising
Internet advertising took root in the mid 1990s.In this ad method, the advertiser pays the website owner to place their ad in exposed spaces that are minor to the website's own content.Internet advertising has gone on to include video, search engine marketing, and more.
But, as you know, the advertising types above have developed dramatically since their respective (各自的) origins.Some ads have been memorable years after they first ran.
So how do you create an advertising strategy that works fine? This blog post is devoted to the ads and campaigns we can learn from.

Just as China sets the world pace in e-commerce (电子商务), it's doing the same for live streaming.More than 100 million viewers watch a live online video event every month.As an e-commerce tool, the live streaming format typically involves a famous person showing a product and answering questions from a digital audience.It takes place in real time (实时) and usually on a smartphone, which accounts for some 95% of e-commerce activity in China.
China is filled with live streaming webcasts,much of it non-commercial,such as young people discussing their lives, offering diet tips, etc.But live streaming has also become one of the most cost-effective tools for e-commerce in China.
Why are consumers and brands both hugging live streaming?
First, there's a functional advantage to live streaming.It allows experts to show the product being used, to show various techniques, and to point out the results.There's also a feeling of authenticity (真实性) that comes from live streaming because the audience can interact with the experts by asking questions in real time.
Consumers feel that they are actually handling the product themselves.Instead of picking a product off a shelf, they are now part of the process, shaping the outcome from the convenience of the living room sofa.The best live streaming allows room for a joke, or even a small mistake.After all, this is how friends talk with one another.As consumers grow in experience and taste, they would rather participate in a chat.Live streaming invites the brand into the home in much the same way you would invite a friend.
Consumers often feel a sense of empowerment (赋予权力).The brand must react quickly and positively to viewers in real time because consumers have the power to hold them responsible for their products through questions.
Live streaming can also be particularly effective for new-to-market brands who do not have the ability to create a buzz because it provides a guarantee that the product is used,accepted and loved.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了消费者和品牌喜欢直播的原因。
4.What is the purpose of live streaming as an e-commerce tool?
A.To chat with young people about life.
B.To promote products on smartphones.
C.To offer tips on healthy eating on the web.
D.To communicate with audience on the phone.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句可知,直播作为电商工具是为了推销产品。
√
5.Which of the following is a reason for live streaming's popularity?
A.It allows real-time interaction between customers and the brand.
B.It empowers customers to decide who are responsible for products.
C.It makes sure that new-to-market brands become best-selling goods.
D.It offers chances for customers to pick products off shelves by themselves.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句可知,直播受欢迎的原因之一是客户和品牌之间可以实时互动。

6.What does the underlined phrase “create a buzz” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Attract the attention of the public.
B.Introduce their products effectively.
C.Be responsible for their products.
D.React quickly and positively to consumers.
解析:词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“because it provides a guarantee that the product is used, accepted and loved”可推测,新进入市场的品牌没有影响力,故选择直播的方式进行推广宣传,以引起顾客的注意。由此可知,画线短语意为“吸引公众注意力”。
√
7.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.China Is Leading the World in E-commerce
B.Differences Between Offline Business and Live Streaming
C.China's Live Streaming Is Booming — Here's How It Works
D.Want to Experience a New Way of Living? Join in Live Streaming!
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段第一句可知,文章主要讲直播在中国的热度上升。故C项“中国的直播正在蓬勃发展——以下是它是如何运作的”适合作文章标题。
C
The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to people's desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers' money.
Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago, a brand of bread was offered to dieters with the message that there were fewer calories in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic, but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there was the same number of calories in every loaf.
On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer's real concerns. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.
Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers. But it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。广告的吸引力有积极影响也有消极影响,但是否购买商品最终决定权在消费者手中。
8.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by .
A.stressing their high quality
B.convincing him of their low price
C.maintaining a balance between quality and price
D.appealing to his buying motives
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段可知,广告能说服人购买没有价值的商品就是因为它能投其所好,抓住了消费者的购买心理。
9.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that .
A.thin slices of bread could contain more calories
B.the loaf was cut into regular slices
C.the bread was not genuine bread
D.the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,面包广告的误导性在于整条面包的热量总数并未减少。
10.It can be inferred from the text that a smart consumer should .
A.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisements
B.guard against the deceiving nature of advertisements
C.be familiar with various advertising strategies
D.avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal
√
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句可知,消费者必须评估自己的情况,判断产品的价值。因此一个聪明的消费者应认真考虑广告上的好处从而判断是否值得购买产品。
11.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to make a wise buying decision.
B.Ways to protect the interests of consumers.
C.The positive and negative aspects of advertising.
D.The function of advertisements in promoting sales.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
It's been a common problem that most of popular kids' apps contain some form of marketing.App developers and platforms make more money when more advertisements are viewed or clicked.Children, with their weaker self-control, are a prime target.Some developers use manipulative (善于操纵的) approaches like showing a fancy present, which takes the children to an advertisement when clicked. 12 Don't worry.Here's how you can intervene.
Examine apps before downloading them.Your children can't download apps without you entering your password, so you can review apps before they are downloaded. 13 People usually post complaints when apps are packed with advertisements.
Teach your kids to look for help.When advertisements pop up inside apps, make sure your kids don't play or download the advertised game immediately. 14 In this way, they learn to identify strange advertisements and have the apps removed.
15 You may start with these questions: Do you ever get tricked by the app, like you think something is a present, but they just show you an advertisement? Do they ever force you to watch advertisements to get more fun things in the app?
Make a complaint if necessary.Families are pressured into purchasing accounts by some school-issued apps.If this happens to you, complain to your school district.
Raising kids in the Internet age means teaching them to distinguish from toys to misinformation when someone is trying to sell them new things or new ideas. 16_
A.Ask your children often.
B.Ask about your kid's preferences.
C.They have to understand the tricks of in-app advertising.
D.With proper guidance, kids can grow up to be critical digital thinkers.
E.Instead, they should be taught to be alert, and turn to adults for advice.
F.Then you can read reviews on websites or check the reviews in the app store.
G.Unfortunately, there are no laws restricting how many advertisements can pop up in children's apps.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对儿童应用中广告过多的方法。
12.选G 空前讲到儿童应用当中植入过多广告,空后一句讲到“别担心”,由此可推知,本空应该会讲到植入过多广告的危害或广告过多带来的困扰。故G项“不幸的是,没有法律限制儿童应用中能出现多少广告”承上启下,符合语境。
13.选F 空前一句讲到“在下载前你可以检查应用”,空后一句讲到“当应用中广告过多时人们通常会把不满发布上去”,因此空处讲到的应该是你可以查看评论,故F项承上启下,符合语境。
14.选E 空前提到应用中出现广告时,要确保孩子不会马上玩或下载广告中的游戏;空后一句讲到这样的话,他们学会识别陌生广告,并删除应用,因此空处讲到的应该是儿童看到广告时的正确做法。故E项“而应教会他们保持警惕,向大人寻求建议”承上启下,符合语境。
15.选A 空处为段落主旨句。根据空后的“You may start with these questions”可知,本段主要讲到了要多问孩子问题,故A项适合作本段的主旨句。
16.选D 空处为总结句。根据空前一句“Raising kids in the Internet age ... new ideas.”可知,本句应该会讲到家长正确指导的意义及作用,故D项“有了适当的引导,孩子们会成长为具有判断力的数字思考者”承接上文,符合语境。
