4.
A.The mistaken belief
B.The need for tolerance
C.Unpunctuality at dinners
D.Punctuality and confidence
E.Self-discipline and punctuality
F.Avoid anxiety by being punctual
61.A
There is the belief that,if you arrive at an appointment late,you will be considered important.This is a mistaken view.Being unpunctual,we are not respectful of others; we are interfering (扰乱)with another man's time.We must realise that keeping appointments or being punctual is a contract that is silently agreed and we are expected to respect this contract.It is only natural that we lose faith,trust and confidence in a person who is tardy(延迟的).
62.E
To be punctual one has to have self-discipline(自律),and the lack of it affects others.A school boy or girl is unpunctual because he or she does not have the necessary human virtue of self-discipline.It is also a mark of disrespect for a system or an institution.Unpunctual people seldom realise that their habit cause problems to others.A salesman who is not punctual may not make a sale if he arrives late for an appointment.If one is late for a job interview,it is not likely that he will get the job.
63.F
Being punctual,we can avoid anxiety.Imagine the anxiety if you do not want to be considered unpunctual.You will be anxious if you set out for a dinner late.The person who sets out late might be careless in driving.He will ignore traffic rules.A traffic jam,flat tyres,etc.can delay him further.Happy and calm is the man who takes all these possibilities into consideration and arrives at the appointment either early or on time.
64.C
Many of those who attend dinners are notorious (声名狼藉的)for unpunctuality.They ignore the appointed time and leave their homes only after the fixed time.They are indifferent to the inconvenience caused to others.If the self-centred guest arrives late,the nine others at the table set for ten will have to wait.The host is put in an unpleasant situation and this man seldom thinks of the inconvenience caused to all-the waiters,the management staff,etc.It is necessary for us to think of others and be considerate to them.
65.B
However,we cannot always be intolerant (无法容忍的) of tardiness,for ordinary living requires some tolerance.There can be a busy executive who fights to keep to his schedule.Such a person may be forgiven if he is late,but not those who are deliberately late to create impression.
In modern society,punctuality is a necessary virtue.It is a recognition of the importance of other people.

分析 文章讲述了守时的重要性.现代社会,守时是一种美德,也是对别人的尊重.文章列举了对守时的错误观点;要做到守时一定要学会自律;避免因为赶时间而引起的焦虑;赴宴更要按时到达;特殊情况下的迟到要给予谅解.

解答 61.A 文章中There is the belief that,if you arrive at an appointment late,you will be considered important.This is a mistaken view人们通常认为的观点是错误的,给出了段意.故选A.
62.E 第一句话To be punctual one has to have self-discipline 要做到守时,必须要自律.故选E.
63.F 第一句话Being punctual,we can avoid anxiety 守时可以让我避免为赶时间而焦虑.故选F.

65.B 最后一段说for ordinary living requires some tolerance生活需要我们学会容忍,有些时候理解别人也很重要.故选B.

点评 阅读理解是考查语篇理解能力.常考的题型有:推理判断题;主旨大意题;细节理解题;猜测词意题.近几年又出现了两种新的考查方式:写作态度判断题和文章结构题.解题时,在读懂文章的基础上,还有特别注意掌握题型的特征,尤其是细节题和推断题不可混淆:细节题是文章信息的再现;推断题是文章信息的提取.本题是广告类文章,考查主要是以细节题为主,细节题要注意常用的出题陷阱有:夸大,缩小,张冠李戴,偷梁换柱,无中生有等,做题时要看清看准.

20.Marlon Brando is widely considered the greatest movie actor of all time.He was born in Omaha Nebraska in 1924.He was named after his father,a salesman.His mother,Dorothy,was an actress in the local theater.
Marlon Brando moved to New York City when he was 19 years old in 1943.He took acting classes at the New School for Social Research.One of his teachers was Stella Adler,who taught the"Method"style of realistic acting.The Method teaches actors how to use their own memories and emotions to identify with the characters they are playing.
Marlon Brando learned the Method style quickly and easily.Critics said he was probably the greatest Method actor ever.One famous actress commented on his natural ability for it.She said teaching Marlon Brando the Method was like sending a tiger to jungle school.
Marlon Brando appeared in several plays.He got his first major part in a Broadway play in 1947,at the age of 23.He received great praise for his powerful performance at Stanley Kowalski in Tennessee Williams'play,A Streetcar Named Desire.His fame grew when he acted the same part in the movie version,released in 1951.
Marlon Brando won the Best Actor Oscar for The God Father,but he rejected it.He sent a woman named Sasheen Littlefeather to speak for him at the Academy Awards ceremony.She said that Brando could not accept the award because of the way the American film industry treated Native Americans.The people at the Academy Awards ceremony did not like the speech.But some experts think the action helped change the way American Indians were shown in movies.
Marlon Brando acted in about forty movies.He was nominated for a total of eight Academy Awards.But he earned a"bad boy"reputation for his public outbursts and unusual behaviours.According to Los Angeles magazine,"Brando was rock and roll before anybody knew what rock and roll was".His later life was marked with family tragedies.His son Christian went to prison for killing his daughter Cheyene's boyfriend.Cheyene later committed suicide.Brando became lonely.He worked occasionally for the money.But,in his prime,Marlon Brando was an actor other actors could only hope to become.

9.No 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 people would specialize,or focus,on doing one specific job.
Let's take a man we'll 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 didn't make the bricks for his house,cut his trees into boards,make the plows (犁),or any of 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 working 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 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 find 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 medium,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 kind of simple instrument,such as a bell,were used to get people's 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 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 in today's world.(478words)

41.What probably led to the start of advertisement?B
A.The discovery of iron.
B.The specialization of labor.
C.The appearance of new jobs.
D.The development of farming techniques.
42.To advertise his plows,Mr.PlowrightB.
A.praised his plows in public 
B.placed a sign outside the shop
C.hung an arrow pointing to the shop 
D.showed his products to the customers
43.The writer makes up the two stories of Mr.Fielder and Mr.Plowright in order toA.
A.explain the origin of advertising  
B.predict the future of advertising
C.expose problems in advertising  
D.provide suggestions for advertising
44.In ancient Egypt,a crier was probably someone whoD.
A.owned a ship  
B.had the loudest voice
C.ran a shop selling goods to farmers  
D.functioned like today's TV or radio commercial
45.The last two paragraphs are mainly aboutC.
A.the history of advertising  
B.the benefits of advertising
C.the early forms of advertising  
D.the basic design of advertising.

16.They don't quite know how to cope with all the dam trouble they've got down in Hampden,Maine.And according to town manager Leslie Stanley,it doesn't look as if things will improve any in the immediate future."We've got a real annoying problem on our hands,"he says.
The annoyance began in late May.About three miles outside of town a group of beavers (河狸) built a dam near the mouth of a culvert (涵洞) that carries a stream under Canaan Road.Some 50 feet of roadway and several hundred feet of land on each side of the culvert were flooded.Stanley sent a road crew out to level the dam.The beavers rebuilt it.The crew tore it apart again.In fact,they tore i t apart for ten mornings-and for ten straight nights the beavers rebuilt it.
On the eleventh day,the foreman tossed (扔) the problem back to the town manager.He,in turn,tossed it on to the local game warden (狩猎监督官).The warden,absorbed in beaver knowledge,moved quietly and carefully out one night and placed a petrol-soaked bag over the dam.(Any beaver expert will tell you the creatures just can't tolerate petrol smell.)
In the morning the bag was found artistically woven (编织) into the dam.
The warden set out three steel traps that night.In the morning one was empty.The other two had been stolen by the beavers and used to strengthen the dam.The warden,cursing the state law against hunting beavers with firearms,got his traps back and set them out again and again.And every night the beavers stole them.
Town manager Stanley enlisted additional troops.He telephoned his police chief.Those beavers were breaking a state law against blocking up a natural watercourse."Why aren't you out there to uphold the law?"Stanley asked."You're the police chief.So remove them.Arrest them.Do something."
Three mornings later,the police chief proudly announced the end of the dam.At 2:00 A.M.,he said,he and a licensed dynamiter (炸药使用者) had blown it to small pieces.Stanley said he'd believe it when he saw it.
They drove out to the culvert and found a new dam already half-built.They also found the highway choked with mud and remains thrown up by the dynamite.
Stanley said maybe they should call in the Army Corps of Engineers.But the police chief's faith in explosives was unshaken.He launched an all-out campaign,but the beavers always managed to have the holes plugged by the time the fire department appeared on the scene for its morning mop-up.
In time,the beavers tired of this nonsense and moved their dam"inside"the culvert-where it couldn't be blown up without destroying the road too.
Stanley and his general staff held a council of war and agreed that fresh strategy was called for.Then they came up with an inspired idea.If we remove every branch of the dam by hand,we'll force the beavers to go in search of new building material to replace what we've taken.Then we can place box traps along their runways and seized them.
The plan was completely approved.Moreover it worked.On July 30,town manager Stanley was able to announce that the beaver group had been trapped and removed to a remote wilderness area.And there was great joy in Hampden-until the middle of October,that is,when a group of young beavers was spotted swimming in the same waters from which its elders had recently been taken away.
But to make a long story short,the strategy that worked with the older beavers worked with the young ones too.
