Section C

Directions: There are two passages in this section．Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D．You should decide on the best choice．This section totals 15 points, one point for each question．

Questions 46 to 55 are based on the following passage．

1Next month Procter & Gamble, which has for some time been reaching Hispanic consumers through brands such as Gain, the laundry detergent, will go a step further in its efforts to woo Lainos．When Tide Tropical Clean hits the shelves, it will be promoted with the usual multi-media advertising campaigns．However, what distinguishes this new product from others is the fact that the products itself has been shaped with the Latino market in mind．An important element of this is the detergent?s smell．…Fifty-seven percent of Hispanics describe themselves as active scent seekers,?says Mauricio Troncoso, marketing director of P&G?s multicultural business development unit．…And this is just the hard data．When you try to quantify what it means, you would be surprised how strong a scent needs to be considered as really strong. ?

第5页（共12页）

2Unilever Bestfoods also hopes to seduce Latino consumers, encouraging them to …enamorelos con Ragu? (fall in love with Ragu) through the pasta sauce brand?s first television ad campaign, launched last month, aimed at US Hispanics．Shot in Argentina, the ads tell the story of how a family falls in love with Ragu．

3With a Hispanic population rapidly heading towards 40m, the increase in numbers is matched by a sharp rise in Latino spending power．In addition, it seems that Latinos may be more responsive to advertising than other groups．A Nielsen Media Research study released this month found that Spanish-language television viewers pay more attention to commercials and are more likely to base their purchasing decisions on advertisements than other US consumers．

4But while the Hispanic community may represent an appealing target for advertisers, it is by no means a uniform one．American Latinos represent a highly diverse population –the word …Hispanic? is an ethic category, rather than a racial group, that can refer to people whose origins range from Mexican and Puerto Rican to Cuban and Argentineans．

5Marketers also need to take into account differences between first-generation and second-generation Hispanics．…As an advertiser, it is important to be aware of and sensitive to these differences and what they mean from a strategy and communications perspective,? says Susan Wayne, Executive Vic-President of marketing at Old Navy, the clothing retailer that is part of the Gap group．Recognition of this fact was what last November prompted Old Navy to create its first Spanish-language TV campaigns．…We know from out research that we had a stronger emotional connection with our Hispanic customers who were very integrated in American culture．But we also found out that we were not speaking to Hispanics who are predominantly Spanish-speaking and who are more comfortable with Hispanic culture,?says Ms Wayne．

Questions 46 – 49 are based on the headings of the five paragraphs．Choose a possible heading for paragraphs 2 – 5．

46．(paragraph 2) 47．(paragraph 3)

第6页（共12页）

48．(paragraph 4) 49．(paragraph 5)

A．US Hispanics and their reaction to advertising．

B．Differences between generations of US Hispanics．

C．The non-uniformity of US Hispanics．

D．Hispanics and the campaign for Ragu pasta sauce．

50．In line 2of paragraph 1, the word “woo” in the sentence‘… will go a step further in its efforts to woo Latinos．’means ．

A．put off B．attract C．find D．optimize

51．In line 3 of paragraph 1, the expression “hits the shelves” in the sentence‘When Tide Tropical Clean hits the shelves’means ．

A．becomes unavailable B．becomes available

C．becomes unsuccessful D．becomes successful

52．In line 4 of paragraph 1,‘…what distinguishes this new product from others…’means ．

A．… what makes this new product the same as others

B．… what makes this new product different from others

C．… what makes this new product better than others

D．… what makes this new product inferior to others

53．In line 5 of paragraph 1, the word “shaped”in the sentence‘…the product itself has been shaped with Latino market in mind．’means ．

A．sold B．formed C．developed D．bought 54．In line 9 of paragraph 1, the word “quantify” in the sentence‘When you try to quantify what it means．’means ．

A．meter B．metrics C．measure D．guess 55．What is the key message of the article? Choose the best alternative．

Marketers in the US must remember that the Hispanic community …

A．dislikes strong perfumes．

B．prefers TV advertising to be filmed in Spanish-speaking countries．

C．contains sub-groups with different attitudes．

D．bases all their purchases on advertising．

第7页（共12页）

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage．

1First impressions are often lasting ones．Indeed, if you play your cards right, you can enjoy the benefits of what is called “halo effect．” This means that if you are viewed posi tively within the critical first four minutes, the person you have met will likely assume everything you do is positive．

2Four minutes! Studies tell us that?s the critical period in which impressions are formed by someone we?ve just met．People tend to focus on what they see (dress, eye contact, movement), on what they hear (how fast or slowly we talk, our voice, tone and volume), and on our actual words．

3Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about themselves are more likely to care about their jobs．We know “It?s what?s inside that counts,” but research shows that physically attractive people are generally perceived by employers as more intelligent, likable and believable．

4Here?s how to make those critical four minutes count:

5First, look your best．It signals success．Studies have linked clothing consciousness to high self-respect and job satisfaction．Second, monitor your body language．How you move and gesture will greatly influence an interviewer?s first impression of you．Third, say what you mean．Your goal is to show confidence and be believed．Hold that favorable first impression by making your words consistent with your body language and appearance．Finally, there is a matter of how you speak．Any professional voice coach will tell you that you can learn to sound more relaxed, more assertive and more confident．

56．If you want to benefit from the so-called “halo-effect”, you have to learn how to ．A．create a lasting impression B．act as if you were playing cards

C．make the first impression right D．be critical within the first four minutes 57．When people meet you for the first time, they will ．

第8页（共12页）

A．notice all your behaviors B．listen to you patiently

C．try to avoid eye-contact with you D．act as friendly as possible

58．What kind of person is likely to be accepted by the employer?

A．One who is physically excellent．B．One who is capable of talking．

C．One who is fairly modest．D．One who cares about oneself．

59．In the sentence “It?s what?s inside that counts,” (Line 2, Para. 3) what does the word “count s”

mean?

A．Do calculation．B．Be important．

C．Take into consideration D．Make a conclusion

60．Which of the following could probably be the title of this passage?

A．The Deepest Impression．B．Be More Confident．

C．The Attractive Four Minutes．D．How to Impress Interviewers．

大一英语期末考试试题精选 又到一个学期的期末了，大家复习好大学英语了吗?为大家精心挑选了一份大学英语第一学期期末试卷，供大家复习使用，希望能够帮助到大家! 大学一年级英语试卷 Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheetwith a single line through the center. Passage One Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience. It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, w ho review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”

Passage One Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience. It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.” In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星） from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time. After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock. Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted? No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings

Part B Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the importance of doing exercise. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one qf the statements (A to G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Patricia: I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a group of friends from university. I think it worked very well, although a few of them said they'd never do it again—I guess it wasn r t quite like they thought it was going to be~not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but 1 think we had a great time. Next year V 11 see if 1 can perhaps visit fewer places and not get so worn out. Davis: I traveled about 6,000 kilometres in four weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again? Well, f d have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for me as I was the official translator, which was great as V m normally a bit shy of talking to people 1 don't know. On the last night of the holiday they treated me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was terrific! Jenise: Well, I guess I had a good time now when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went well but I think that from now on 1' 11 probably choose to do something else. I want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train service ! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and they were great but it didn* t do much for my French and Gennan. Nigel: I think it's definitely the best way of getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch-hikes and he says that's the only way to travel because it's free and you see more interesting places. But I knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the better deal, especially as 1 could take the night train and save on hotel bills. Hawk: F vc done it quite a few times now and V m used to the kind of problems that arisc—likc having to sleep in a park because the train arrived too late for me to get a hotel bed, and trying to keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do. They1 re usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they don't understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and nod.
