一、阅读理解

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.

Near the edge of the Arctic region of Canada, the short summer is rapidly disappearing. The sun is pale, and the brief days of fall are being chased away by a constant cold wind from the north. It’s an icy cold region in which few animals or plants can survive.

One animal, though, actually grows strong in these freezing, lonely surroundings: the polar bear. Winter has the perfect weather for the huge white bear. According to Cam Elliot of the governmental group called Manitoba Conservation, polar bears are built for winter. These warm-blooded mammals spend most of their life on frozen seas, so they have adjusted to be able to handle the cold weather. Their thick fur protects them from the freezing winds. They have short tails and tiny ears, both of which help reduce heat loss. The heavy layer of fat helps to protect the animals from the cold and allows them to live for long periods of time without eating.

What is especially attractive in polar bears in terms of conservation (保护)is that it is an umbrella species. No other animal hunts the polar bear. Because of their status as “top killers”, scientists feel that the health of polar bears parallel (平行的) directly with the health of the environment. Global warming may be affecting the ice patterns, which are critical for the survival of the polar bear.

Anything in the global climate that would affect the stability or the length of the time that the ice is on Hudson Bay or the Arctic waters, is going to have immediate impact on them.

When the ice melts early, the bears may lose one month of hunting opportunities, which can have major effects on their ability to find enough food. Another issue with the situation is that when we develop any consideration for measures for polar bears, we are also protecting the entire ecosystem. That is to say, by making the changes needed to keep this umbrella species alive, the world will save any number of animals that have the same environmental requirements.

4．What makes the polar bear particularly suited to the extreme weather there?

7．What is the author’s attitude to polar bear preservation? A．Favorable.

The most valuable thing I ever lost was a pair of diamond earrings I won many years ago at a charity auction (拍卖会). I wrote about the lost earrings in my new children’s book, The Christmas Pig. When they reach the Land of the Lost, where the hero must go to rescue his most beloved toy, my earrings are angry that they aren’t treated with the respect they think they deserve. They soon find out that being made of diamonds counts for(有用) very little in the strange world where human-made objects go when lost, because a thing’s importance there depends on how much it’s truly loved.

The Christmas Pig explores a deep attachment to an old object. It’s about the journey of a boy, Jack, who is a little lost himself, but who discovers his bravery and ability to love in a strange new world. Of all the books I’ve written, this is the one that made me cry the most, because I was dealing with emotions that run deep in all of us. Loss and change are hard for children, but acceptance of these unavoidable parts of life isn’t much easier for adults. The Christmas Pig shows how human beings — even small, lost ones — are capable of wonderful, heroic acts.

A very strange thing happened on the day I finished editing The Christmas Pig. After emailing the final version to my editor, I set about clearing out a cupboard. One of the last objects I picked up was a small box. I opened it. There were my long-lost diamond earrings. I’ve decided to sell them and give the money to a charity. I think it was a nice ending for my

In the autumn, Buck started to see moose (驼鹿) in the forest. One day he met a group of about twenty. The largest was two meters tall, and his antlers were more than two meters across. When he saw Buck, he got very angry. For hours Buck followed the moose; he wanted the big one, but he wanted him alone. By the evening Buck had driven the big old moose away from the others, and then he began his attack. The animal weighed six hundred and fifty kilos — he was big enough and strong enough to kill Buck in seconds. Patiently, Buck followed him for four days, attacking and then jumping away. He gave him no peace, no time to eat or drink or rest, and slowly the moose became weaker. At the end of the fourth day,

Buck pulled the moose down and killed him. He stayed by the dead animal for a day and a half, eating and then turned towards camp and John Thornton.

Five kilometers from the camp, he smelt something strange. Something was wrong. He started to run. After a few hundred meters he found the dead body of Blackie, with an arrow through his side. Then he found another sledge-dog, dying, with an arrow in his neck.

Buck was near the camp now, and could hear voices singing. Then he saw the body of Hans, lying on his face, with ten or fifteen arrows in his back. Buck was suddenly filled with a wild, burning anger. He must take his revenge (报仇).

The Yeehats were dancing around the camp, when they heard a deep and terrible growling. Buck came out of the trees faster than the north wind, and threw himself on the Yeehats like a mad dog. He jumped at the first man, and tore out his throat, killing him at once. He jumped onto a second, then a third man, going each time for the throat. The Yeehats could neither escape nor use their arrows. Buck moved like a storm among them, tearing, biting, destroying, in a madness that he had never known before. Nothing could stop him, and soon the Yeehats were running, wild with fear, back to the forest. Buck followed for some time, and then returned to the camp.

He found Pete, killed in his bed. He followed Thornton’s smell to a deep pool, and found Skeet lying dead by the edge. Thornton’s body was somewhere under the water. All day Buck stayed by the pool or walked restlessly round the camp. 12．What is the best title of this passage?

Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, has been around for thousands of years and integrates Taoism(a nature-based philosophy) with elements of Buddhism and Confucianism. Centered around the core belief is that qi is the essential energy that flows through our bodies and powers all human life. 16

As a kid, I spent my summers with my grandfathers on their farm in Texas. I loved and 21 my grandparents and I really looked forward to adventures in my grandfather’s car. On one particular trip, I was about 10 years old. I was 22 around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the

passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips, and I 23 the smell.

At that age, I’d take any excuse to make estimates and do minor calculation (计算). I’d been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can’t remember the 24 , but basically the ad said, every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate, I decided to do the 25 for my grandmother. When I was satisfied that I’d come up with a 26 number, I poked my head into the 27 of the car, tapped my grandmother on the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, “At two minutes per puff, you’ve taken nine years off your life!”

I have a very vivid memory of what happened next, and it was not what I had expected. I expected to be 28 for my cleverness and my arithmetic skills. “Jeff, you are so smart. You had to have made some 29 estimates.” That’s not what happened. 30 , my grandmother burst into tears.

My grandfather was a highly intelligent, quiet man. He had never said a 31 word to me, and maybe this was to be the first time? Or maybe he would 32 that I get back in the car to apologize. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me, and after a bit of silence, he gently and calmly said, “Jeff, one day you’ll understand that it’s 33 to be kind than clever.”

Cleverness is a gift; kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy – they’re given 34 . Choices can be hard.

In a Japanese city Otsu, AI will be used to analyze some 9,000 historical bullying cases reported by local elementary and junior high schools over the six years to this month. The system will also assess cases in which the bullying was only suspected. The Mayor of the city said this was the first time it 36 (use) in this country.

The city signed 37 agreement with Tokyo-based Hitachi Systems Ltd. on Friday to collaborate on the project.

The AI is expected to assist schools in detecting aggression in bullying cases, 38 can be triggered by a minor issue between students, even when some teachers lack knowledge or experience in identifying warning signs, according to the local education board.

The Mayor of the city Naomi Koshi said earlier she expects local schools to “act 39 (firm) against bullying 40 being dependent only on teachers’ experience, by having AI theoretically analyze past data.”

Among the factors to be looked at via the AI are the grade-level of students 41 (impact), their gender and the number involved, the timing of the bullying 42 where it occurred, as well as the students’ academic records.

The education board believes the analysis, 43 (expect) to be completed by October, will make known the characteristics of bullying to help teachers identify cases in their classrooms.

In Otsu, the suicide of a 13-year-old boy in 2011 was determined by a third-party panel two years 44 (late) to have been caused by bullying.

Since then, the city’s education board 45 (require) each school all the time to report bullying cases within 24 hours.

After checking into the chalet(小木屋), Meena said eagerly, “Let’s go swimming.” She and her brother put on their swimsuits. They walked to the shoreline. They could see that the tide was quite high. Happily, they walked out into the water and swam. Their parents shouted at them to be careful and not to swim too far out.

After a good swim, the whole family had a picnic under the coconut tree. Their mother had made many types of sandwiches. There were chicken, egg, tuna and sardine sandwiches. The sandwiches were spread out on a mat on the sand. Next to the sandwiches were bottles of mineral water. Their mother had also brought a flask of hot tea. She knew their father liked a cup of hot tea after eating sandwiches. The whole family enjoyed the sandwich meal. Somehow, they were thinking that those were the best sandwiches they had ever tasted.

After eating, Gopal’s mother cleared the cups and bottles on the mat. Suddenly, they heard someone shout, “Help! Help! Someone is drowning!” Gopal looked far out into the sea
