Advertising is necessary as a means of municating with others, and of telling them about the goods and services that are provided, most of which would never get heard of at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising is extremely helpful to advance a rising standard of living. In talking about advertising, one should not think only in terms of a mercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or magazines. In its widest sense, advertising includes a host of other activities such as packaging, shop displays and— in a sense of munication— even the spoken words of the salesman. After all, the resources of advertising are to be found in the market place. For many years it was considered that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has bee increasingly understood that the manufacture of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time. In the petitive society in which we live, it is important that we go out and sell what we have, and advertising plays an important role in this way, whether selling at home or in export markets. About two percent of UK gross national product(GNP)is relied on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Certainly, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential(潛在的 )consumers, but if the article when bought does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously very unlikely that the article will sell well. 39． According to the text, advertising is important to______. A． every potential consumer in the world B． large countries in the world C． people with a high standard of living D． a large number of people in the world 答案： D 解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章的第一句話可以知道，廣告對(duì)于包括 (大不列顛 )聯(lián)合王國(guó)在內(nèi)的世界上相當(dāng)大的地區(qū)的人們來(lái)說(shuō)是重要的。 40． According to the passage, the simplest form of advertising is________. A． shop window displays and the wrapping of goods B． face to face contact between sellers and buyers C． the municative abilities of a trained sales person D． articles in newspapers and magazines 答案： B 解析： 推斷題。從文章第二段最后一句 the resources of advertising are to be found in the market place 可以推斷出，做廣告的最基本和最簡(jiǎn)單的方式就是在市場(chǎng)買(mǎi)者與賣(mài)者之間直接地面對(duì)面地進(jìn)行商品交易。故答案是 B。 41． People have realized that resources are wasted if goods________. A． are not of lasting value B． are not sold at a high price C． remain unsold for a long time D． remain unsold in export markets 答案： C 解析： 推斷題。從第三段第二句話可以推斷出，如果商品很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間銷售不出去，那么資源就浪費(fèi)了。故答案是 C。 42． The text makes a point that goods will sell well if______.
