题目内容
8.You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater.You listen to their conversation:"I can't believe it-Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find.Isn't it beautiful?And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right.You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla,but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So,you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing,driving and eating.If the person looks cool,the product seems cool,too.This is the secret of undercover marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18and 34.It's a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend,but they don't trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice misleading,but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative."Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing."It is true,because everyone knows an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something.However,you don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

解答 28-31.DCDC
28 D 由第三段最后两句"…those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes"可知,这两个女人其实是广告公司雇佣来的专门在商店里大声谈论 Lorenzo Bertolla 牌子的衣服,好让别的顾客听见,也去买这个牌子的衣服.故正确答案为D.
29 C 推断题.由第一段第一句"…a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater"可知这两个女人正在看一件毛衣(sweater).由第二段第一句"I can't believe it-Lorenzo Bertolla"可知,她们看着这件毛衣惊叹道:"真不敢相信,是 Lorenzo Bertolla 牌的."因此这件毛衣是 Lorenzo Bertolla 牌的,由此可以推断出 Lorenzo Bertolla 是一个服装品牌.故正确答案为C.
30 D推断题.A项,传统广告很快就会在市场消失.全文未提及,故A项错误;B项,"音乐电视一代人"更容易被广告影响.由第五段最后一句"…but they don't trust ads"可知,这一代人不相信广告,故B项错误;C项,政府很快就会禁止卧底营销活动.全文未提及,故C项错误;D项,传统广告越来越无效,因为太直接了.由最后一段第四句"Its effectiveness is decreasing"可知传统广告越来越无效.由下一句"…because everyone knows an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something"可知,这是因为每个人都知道广告就是要劝人们买东西的.由此可见,传统广告失去效力的原因是因为太直接.故正确答案为D.
31 C 主旨题.本文主要通过引用了两个女人在商店里高声谈话来推广一个品牌的例子,介绍了新型的卧底营销(undercover marketing).同时通过与传统广告对比,说明了新型营销手段的优势.故正确答案为C.
