Effective Headlines Without question,digital advertisers are in the business of catching attention. Because the headline is the first thing your viewer pays attention to,your headline should not only be attractive but should also include the overall message in a short sentence. Headlines can be strictly useful,humorous,etc.,but effective headlines have one thing in common:they all leave their readers wanting more. Calls the Viewer to Action Without a strong call to action,your advertisement probably won't get the results you're expecting it to.A call to action is regarded as something in the ad that gives them a reason to call or contact you now.Your ad's call to action should be well thought out and designed.Make sure that your contact information is clearly visible.Though you may feel it''s important that your visitors become informed(见多识广的)，it's important to have a positive branding experience with your company or visit a high number of pages. See how we helped a New York City audience aehieve 386 first-time callers in a single month.You can email us for more information. 46.What's the author's purpose in writing this passage? A.To help to make a good advertisement. B.To teach the way of connecting with the audience. C.To make people watch out for advertisements.

Instead of simply clothing his son in a familiar pirate hat and eye-patch(), Weimer built a wooden,five-foot-long pirate ship around Keaton's wheelchair, completing with black sails,a treasure box,and a parrot rested on the ship.Keaton's costume not only made headlines in the local newspaper,but immediately changed the way people saw him. Making costumes for Keaton became a tradition each year.After several years, Weimer upped his game by subscribing to the Stan Winston School of Character Arts, like the dinosaurs ofJurassic Park".Soon Weimer was building dragons with professional skills and looking for ways to enlarge his reach beyond his family. In 2014,Weimer founded Magic Wheelchair,an organization that makes and donates costumes to disabled children between the ages of 5 and 18.Funded by donations and formed by volunteers,inciuding members from the Stan Winston School,Weimer's team spends upwards of $4,000 and 120 man hours per costume to create magic for disabled children on Halloween. Thanks to the huge support from the people in this country,Magic Wheelchair is growing.Last year,Magic Wheelchair had 6 volunteer teams;this year,they have 20 teams all the way from Los Angeles to New York City and they will not stop there. 49.According to the.passage,we can learn that Keaton's Halloween costume. A.made him get many sweets B.sold at a high price C.attracted lots of attention D.changed people's attitude to the disabled 50.What kind of person does Ryan Weimer belong to? A.Clever and brave. B.Creative and kind-hearted. C.Patient and serious. D.Easy-going and generous. 51.From the last paragraph,we can infer that A.pirate costumes are necessary on Halloween B.Weimer's son has been better and better C.Weimer got the support from the government D.Magic Wheelchair develops fast 52.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Keaton's Fight Against Spinal Muscular Atrophy B.How to Make Costumes for Disabled Children C.The Stan Winston School of Character Arts D.A Father's Love:From a Pirate Ship to Magic Wheelchair c in the Racetrack Playa(沙漠中的干盐湖)of Death Valley National Park,blocks of stones,weighing from several pounds to 1000 pounds,leave clear tracks as they move across the playa surface,without any sign of human or animal effort.For many years, visitors and scientists have been confused about what natural forces cause the stones to move across the playa. In 2011,researchers Richard D.Norris and James M.Norris started the "Sliding Stones Research Initiative".They set up a weather station and placed fifteen stones on the southern end of the playa equipped with GPS to record the movement and speed for most of the natural sailing stones began their strange journeys across the playa at this point.In December of 2013,Richard and James happened to find a series of strange events that solved the mystery. 5 How does it work?First there is a rain turning the playa back into a shallow lake, followed by a cold that will freeze a layer()ofice over the playa before it becomes dry again.Then it needs a sunny day and a light wind.The wind and sun work together to break theiee into pieces of about several feet wide and as thin as 1/4-inch,which then blow against the rocks.The ice then acts as sails,sliding the rocks along the watery mud()in a direction determined by the wind. This process is very slow.The stones hardly move faster than a few inches per-second,which makes the movement easily overlooked without a fixed point to compare them with.It's an amazingly process:if the winds are too strong,the ice will break against the rocks rather than pushing them,if the sun is too warm,the ice will melt ()before it can move the stones,and if the wind is too light,the ice won't move as needed Researchers admit that although they have seen how the smaller stones move, there may yet be a different series of events which is needed to move.the larger rocks,so the mystery isn't completely solved. 53.Why did the researchers choose the southern end of the playa as their starting point? A.Because the stones were easy to watch at this point. B.Because there was a weather station at this point. C.Because it was the usual starting place for the sailing stones. D.Because it was easy for the stones to be carried there. 54.For the sailing stones,the ice over the playa plays a role in A.keeping the playa watery all the time B.breaking the stones into smaller ones C.protecting the sliding tracks D.making the stones move forward 55.What's Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The answer to the mystery about the sailing stones coming from Richard. B.The super natural power happening in the Death Valley National Park. C.The process of the stones moving across the playa surface. D.The key influence on the sailing stones coming from the wind. 56.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The research for the sailing stones hasn't been completed yet. B.The movement of the stones in the playa has stopped. C.The final answer to the mystery is the strong wind. D.The researchers don't admit the function of weather. D On holiday,many will find themselves in places where they do not speak the language.More and more people are using simple,free tools,not only to decode ( text but also to speak.With these apps'conversation mode,you talk into a phone and a spoken translation is heard moments later;the app can also listen for another language and produce a translation in yours. Travel has long been a motivator for study---unless people start to feel Al tools offer a good-enough service.Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a meaningless pursuit.The writer Douglas Hofstadter has argued that something profound will disappear when people talk through machines.He describes giving a difficult speech in Mandarin,which required a lot of work but offered a sense of accomplishment at.the end.Who would show off about taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma? Others are less worried.Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent.On their holiday,they just want a beer and local specialty without incident. As AI translation becomes an even more popular labour-saving tool,people will split into two groups.There will be those who want to involve themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways.Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and puzzlement,as they might with extreme endurance()sports: "Good for you,if that's your thing,but a bit painful for my taste." But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analysing,the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the value of those bonds themselves.When you try to create a joke in broken German, you are making direct contact with someone.And when you speak a.language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle shading on an argument,that connection is more profound still.The best relationships do not require translator. 57.How do you understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 2? A.Difficult times can be a test of our souls. B.Shortcuts reduce the sense of achievement. C.Machines lead to the loss of human connections. D.Learning a foreign language is an accomplishment. 58.What is most people's attitude toward language learning while on holiday? A.They desire to become fluent in the local language. B.They enjoy the challenge of learning a new language. C.They want to communicate basic needs without difficulty. D.They want to explore local culture and train their thinking. 59.The author mentions extreme endurance sports in paragraph 4 to explain A.the fuudamentally social nature of language B.the big challenge presented by language learning C.people's different attitudes toward language learning D.the meaning of sustained contact with a foreign culture 60.What does the author imply about language learning? A.Good translation contributes to effective language learning. B.Language learning is necessary for meaningful relationships. C.Close relationships will not be affected by language barriers. D.Language learning enhances the depth of communication. 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) Helen was five years old when she made the trip from her homeland to the United States of America with her mother,sister,and brother.Helen grew up hearing many terrible stories about people who were injured in the war.So as a child,Helen was eager to become a nurse to help those people.And indeed,she became one. In early 1991,her operating room manager at the University of Virginia said,"Helen, I'd like you to take on a small project.”“okay,”Helen agreed.“What'sup?mHer manager replied,"Our nineteen operating rooms here are generating too much medical waste.Clean stuff that haven't been used.With your twenty years,working in the operating room,you have the knowledge and experience to figure out what to do with them all.” So for a year,Helen collected clean medical supplies from all their operating rooms and donated them to missions ()She researched the issue of medical waste.She was surprised to find that more than 2.4 million tons of hospital waste is generated in the USA annually,with the operating rooms being the largest waste generators."This is valuable waste,which can be utilized again rather than just being thrown away,"she Said.
