4.______our arriving at the airport,we were given a warm welcome by the local people.(  )
A.WithB.As soon asC.UponD.Until

分析 我们一到机场,就受到当地人的热烈欢迎.

解答 C 考查介词.upon doing sth.=on doing sth.介词短语后跟名词代词动名词"一…就"; as soon as连词后跟句子,"一…就";our arriving at the airport是介词短语,with的符合结构,表伴随;until连词"直到…"根据句意:我们一到机场,就受到当地人的热烈欢迎.所以答案选C.

点评 介词的题目要认真掌握好常用介词的主要用法及动词与介词的搭配.这是考查的重点,也是做题的基础.在具体的题目中,要首先判断考查方式,是考查介词辨析,介词短语,还是带介词的定语从句,判断后再做分析.

15.Commercial advertisement was once thought of as a technique of the marketers to inform the potential buyers about the availability of certain products.It was seen more as a medium to inform the buyers rather than persuade them to buy.The present day marketers see advertisement as a medium to damage the image of their competitors and their products.This indeed,is an undesirable and an immoral practice.Instead of speaking about their own products,these marketers speak about the drawbacks (often without any basics) of the competing products.
People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods.A few such cases are given below.
1.Parachute Coconut Oil vs.V.V.D.Gold
Some time back,the producer of V.V.D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles (the reference was to Parachute coconut oil) was suitable only for un-natural hair.
2.Tata Salt vs.Captain Cook
Tata salt was first iodised (碘处理) salt marketed by an Indian Company.It has been enjoying a good and steady market.Captain Cook,another producer of iodised salt,who entered the market later,had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market.The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on‘Free flow'of their salt when transferred to a container.The producer of Tata Salt retaliated (报复) by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it carefully.
3.Pepsi vs.Coco Cola
Coca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996.When the cricket series was on,the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV.Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers liked Pepsi the best and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it.
4.Horlicks vs.Complan
Sometime back,the TV advertisement of Complan,a health drink directly attacked Horlicks,which has been in the market for several decades.The claim of Complan was that their brand (which according to them was Brand C) has a higher percentage of ingredients (材料) compared to Brand H (reference was nothing but to Horlicks).
The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors.This,certainly,is not a healthy trend.
Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors'products.The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in.There are many consumer products like salt,oil shaving blades etc.But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make the product different.
Mass media like Radio,Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies.Legal regulations,in this regard,should also be made stricter.

The United States has always been a country of many cultures. Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.

In the 19th century, people spoke of the United States as a “melting pot.” People thought that all immigrates should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate-join American culture. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents’ or grandparents’ language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their curare and language.

For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl.” They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts (lettuce, tomato, and so on), but all the different parts mixed together and begin to take on the flavor of one another.

1.Who are not mentioned as immigrants to America?

A. Europeans B. Asians

C. Australians D. Latin Americans

2.The underlined word “assimilate” in paragraph 2 means .

A. delight B. accept

C. challenge D. reject

3.Why is a “salad bowl” a better way to call the United States instead of a “melting pot”?

A. Immigrants love to eat salads instead of hot pot

B. Immigrants take pride in their culture and language

C. Immigrants join American culture only partially

D. Immigrants remain independent completely

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. America and Immigrants

B. Different Groups, Different Cultures

C. America – A Salad Bowl

D. America – A Great Country

14.Never go into a supermarket hungry!This is a good piece of advice.If you go shopping for food before lunchtime,you'll probably buy more than yo u plan to.Unfortunately,however,just this advice isn't enough for consumers these days.Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store.First,you check the weekly newspaper ads.Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things.In other words,don't buy anything just because it's cheaper than usual!"New and Improved!"or"All Natural"on the front of a package influence you.Instead,read the list of contents on the back.Third,compare prices,that is,you should examine the prices of both differ ent brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary item s instead of famous brands.Ordinary items in supermarket s come in plain packages.These products are cheaper because producers don't spend much money on packing or advertising.The quality,however,is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands.In the same way,in buying clothes,you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous.Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money.Although these stores aren't very attractive,and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms,not only are the prices low,but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials,but they do this with one advantage:knowledge of the psychology behind the ads.In other words,well informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation.They ask themselves questions:Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page?Is there any real information in the commercial(商业广告),or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image?With the answers to these questions,consumers can make a wise choice.

A.ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands.
B.producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items.

D.ordinary items never say"New and Improved"or"All Natural".
33.What does the writer think about ads?C
A.They are believable.
B.They are attractive.
C.They are helpful.
D.They are harmful.
34.One of the author's suggestions to consumers isB.
A.to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands.
B.to make use of advertisements carefully for shopping.
C.to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch.
D.not to buy items with words like"New and Improved"or"All Natural".
