If it weren’t for nicotine, people wouldn’t smoke tobacco. Why? Because of the more than 4000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, nicotine is the primary one that acts on the brain, altering people’s moods, appetites and alertness in ways they find pleasant and beneficial. Unfortunately, as it is widely known, nicotine has a dark side: it is highly addictive. Once smokers become hooked on it, they must get their fix of it regularly, sometimes several dozen times a day. Cigarette smoke contains 43 known carcinogens, which means that long-term smoking can amount to a death sentence. In the US alone, 420,000 Americans die every year from tobacco-related illnesses.
Breaking nicotine addiction is not easy. Each year, nearly 35 million people make a concerted effort to quit smoking. Sadly, less than 7 percent succeed in abstaining for more than a year; most start smoking again within days. So what is nicotine and how does it insinuate itself into the smoker’s brain and very being?
The nicotine found in tobacco is a potent drug cet4v.com, and even some scientists, say it offers certain benefits. One is enhance performance. One study found that non-smokers given doses of nicotine typed about 5 percent faster than they did without it. To greater or lesser degrees, users also say nicotine helps them to maintain concentration, reduce anxiety, relieve pain, and even dampen their appetites (thus helping in weight control). Unfortunately, nicotine can also produce rious effects beyond addiction. At high doses, as are achieved from tobacco products, it can cause high blood pressure, distress in the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems and an increase in susceptibility to seizures and hypothermia.
First isolated as a compound in 1828, in its pure form nicotine is a clear liquid that turns brown when burned and smells like tobacco when exposed to air. It is found in several species of plants, including tobacco and, perhaps surprisingly, in tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant (though in extremely low quantities that are pharmacologically insignificant for humans).
As simple as it looks, the cigarette is highly engineered nicotine delivery device. For instance, when tobacco researchers found that much of the nicotine in a cigarette wasn’t released when burned but rather remained chemically bound within the tobacco leaf, they began adding substances such as ammonia to cigarette tobacco to release more nicotine. Ammonia helps keep nicotine in its basic form, which is more readily vaporised by the intense heat of the burning cigarette than the acidic form. Most cigarettes for sale in the US today contain 10 milligrams or more of nicotine. By inhaling smoke from a lighted cigarette, the average smoker takes 1 or 2 milligrams of vaporised nicotine per cigarette. Today we know that only a miniscule amount of nicotine is needed to fuel addiction. Research shows that manufacturers would have to cut nicotine levels in a typical cigarette by 95% to forestall its power to addict. When a smoker puffs on a lighted cigarette, smoke, including vaporised nicotine, is drawn into the mouth. The skin and lining of the mouth immediately absorb some nicotine, but the remainder flows straight down into the lungs, where it easily diffuses into the blood vessels lining the lung walls. The blood vessels carry the nicotine to the heart, which then pumps it directly to the brain. While most of the effects a smoker seeks occur in the brain, the heart takes a hit as well. Studies have shown that a smoker’s first cigarette of the day can increase his or her heart rate by 10 to 20 beats a minute. Scientists have found that a smoked substance reaches the brain more quickly than one swallowed, snorted or even injected. Indeed, a nicotine molecule inhaled in smoke will reach the brain within 10seconds. The nicotine travels through blood vessels, which branch out into capillaries within the brain.
Capillaries normally carry nutrients but they readily accommodate nicotine molecules as well. Once inside the brain, nicotine, like most addictive drugs, triggers the release of chemicals associated with euphoria and pleasure.
Just as it moves rapidly from the lungs into the bloodstream, nicotine also easily diffuses through capillary walls. It then migrates to the spaces surrounding neurones – ganglion cells that transmit nerve impulses throughout the nervous system. These impulses are the basis for our thoughts, feelings, and moods. To transmit nerve impulses to its neighbour, a neurone releases chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters. Like nicotine molecules, the neurotransmitters drift into the so-called synaptic space between neurones, ready to latch onto the receiving neurone and thus deliver a chemical “message” that triggers an electrical impulse.
The neurotransmitters bind onto receptors on the surface of the recipient neurone. This opens channels in the cell surface through which enter ions, or charged atoms, of sodium. This generates a current across the membrane of the receiving cell, which completes delivery of the “message”. An accomplished mimic, nicotine competes with the neurotransmitters to bind to the receptors. It wins and, like the vanquished chemical, opens ion channels that let sodium ions into the cell. But there’s a lot more nicotine around than the original transmitter, so a much larger current spreads across the membrane. This bigger current causes increased electrical impulses to travel along certain neurones. With repeated smoking, the neurones adapt to this increased electrical activity, and the smoker becomes dependent on the nicotine.

The source of this interference 3 unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation(航空)industry, has recommended that all airlines ban(禁止)such devices from being used during “ 4 ” stages of flight, 5 take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are 6 to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 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 Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Increasingly, over the past ten years, people—especially young people—have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently,there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.
Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter.In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas.
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass productionof poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; but also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.
There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and nofiber.
It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example ,the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.
21.Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article?
A) People should eat any food to keep themselves healthy and strong.
B) People should eat natural foods to keep themselves healthy and strong.
C) People should eat fiber foods to keep themselves healthy and strong.
D) People should eat vegetables to keep themselves healthy and strong.
22.“Particularly processed foods” means ____.
A) foods which are particularly processed by adding chemical additives
B) foods which are particularly made by commercial farms
C) foods which are specially produced by commercial factories
D) foods which are not specially made by adding anything
23.Natural foods means ____.
A) foods good for health
B) foods not good for health
C) foods such as vegetables, fruit and grain from rich organic matters soil
D) crops from rich organic matters soil and meats of animals from healthy pastures
24.There are no vitamins, no minerals and no fibers in ____.
A) natural foods C) sugar
B) animal meats D) fruit
25.“Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories.” It means ____.
A) processed food provides us with energy
B) natural food furnishes us with vitamins and minerals
C) sugar gives us enough energy in the form of calories
D) fiber helps us to digest food
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
With a tremendous roar from its rocket engine, the satellite is sent up into the sky. Minutes later, at an altitude of 300 miles, this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit about the earth. Its radio begins to transmit an astonishing amount of information about the satellites orbital path, the amount of radiation it detects, and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races back to the earth.No human being could possibly copy down all these facts, much less remember and organize them. But an electronic computer can.
The marvel of the machine age, the electronic computer has been in use only since 1946. It can do simple computations—add,subtract, multiply and divide—with lighting speed and perfect accuracy. Some computers can work 500,000 times faster than any person can.
Once it is given a “program” — that is, a carefully workedout set of instructions devised by a technician trained in computer language — a computer cagather a wide range of information for many purposes. For the scientist it can get information from outer space or from the depth of the ocean. In business and industry the computer prepares factory inventories, keeps track of sales trends and production needs, mails dividend checks, and makes out company payrolls. It can keep bank accounts up to date and make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane, the computer will find out what to take and what space is available.
Not only can the computer gather facts, it can also store them as fast as they are gathered and can pour them out whenever they are needed. The computer is really a highpowered“memory” machine that “has all the answers”—or almost all.Besides gathering and storing information, the computer can also solve complicated problems that once took months for people to do.
At times computers seem almost human. They can “read” handprinted letters,play chess, compose music, write plays and even design other computers. Is it any wonder that they are sometimes called “thinking” machines?
Even though they are taking over some of the tasks that were once accomplished by our own brains, computers are not replacing us at least not yet. Our brain has more than 10 million cells. A computer has only a few hundred thousand parts.
For some time to come, then, we can safely say that our brains are at least 10,000 times more complex than a computer.How we use them is for us, not the computer, to decide.
26.In the first paragraph, the author thinks an electronic computer can ____.
A) copy down all the facts
B) remember all the facts
C) organize the facts and everything
D) copy down, remember and organize all the facts
27.“Program” means ____.
A) a plan of what is to be done
B) a complete show on a TV station at a fixed time table
C) a scheduled performance
D) series of coded instructions to control the operations of a computer
28.The computer is a high powered “memory” machine, which ____.
A) has all the ready answers — or almost all to any questions
B) can remember everything
C) can store everything and work for you
D) has all the answers — or almost to all the information that has been stored
29. “Thinking” machines suggest that ____.
A) they can “read” hand printed letters etc
B) they really can think and do many other jobs
C) they even design other computers
D) they cant think, but can do something under human control
30.Can computers do whatever they want to do?Why?
A) Yes, because some computers can work 500,000 times faster than any person can.
B) No, because they normally have a few hundred thousand parts.
C) No, because human brains are at least 10000 times more complex than any computers.
D) No, because how a computer works is decided by human.
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
No one expressed this attitude more strongly than Noah Webster .
Born near Nartford, Connecticut, he received his education at Yale College and later began to practise law. But business in this profession was slow, and he was forced to turn to teaching. As a teacher, he soon discovered that the English school books then in use were unsatisfactory, and the American Revolution reduced the supply of such books as there were. Webster therefore began to work on three simple books on English, a spelling book, a grammar, and a reader, and these were the first books of their kind to be published in this country. The success of the first
part was surprisingly great. It was soon issued again under the title THE AMERICAN SPELLING BOOK, and in this form about 80 million copies were sold during the next hundred years. From a profit of less than one cent a copy, Webster got most of his income for the rest of his life. Not only did the little book have great influence on many generations of school children, but it also had the effect or turning its authors attention to questions of language. In 1806 he produced a small dictionary,and this was followed by his greatest work, AN AMERICAN DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, published in two volumes in1828. In both of these works and in many smaller writings he had one purpose: to show that the Englsih language in his country was a truly American thing, developing in its own special way and deserving to be considered from an independent, American point of view. As he himself wrote,“ It is not only important, but in a degree necessary, that the people of this country should have an AMERICAN DICTIONARY of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England…some differences exist…. No person in this country will be satisfied with the English definitions of the words congress, senate, assembly, court, and so forth, for although these are words used in England, yet they are applied in this country to express ideas which they do not express in that country.” By giving American meanings and American pronunciation, by adopting a number of American spellings, and especially by introducing quotations from American authors beside those from English literature, he was able, to a great extent, to justify the title of his work. If, after a hundred years, some people still doubt the existence of a separate American language, his efforts, nevertheless, have left a lasting mark on the language of his country.
31.Webster first tried to earn his living in the field of ____.
A) education C) law
B) journalism D) medicine
32.Webster earned most of his money from the sale of his ____.

B) had discovered American English and improved it
C) had tried his best and left a milestone on the language of his country
D) had left a language which was not used in England.
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Once upon a time, the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around. Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over. Plenty of space for parks and factories. Plenty of forests to cut and grasslands to plow. But that was once upon a time. The days of unused land are over.Now the land has been
spoken for, fenced off, carved up into cities and farms and industrial parks, put to use.
At the same time, the population keeps growing. People need places to work and places to play. So we need more sites for more industries, more beaches for more sunbathers, and more clean rivers for more fishers. And it isnt just a matter of population growth. Our modern technology has needs that must be met, too. We need more coal for energy, and we need more power plants; cars must have highways and parking lots, and jets must have airports.
Each of these land uses swallows up precious space.Highways and expressways alone take some 200,000 acres each year. And urban sprawl — the spreading out of cities — is expected to gobble up vast areas of land by the year 2,000. But there is only so much land to go around. It is always hard to decide. Take, for example, a forest. A forest can be a timber supply. It can provide a home for wildlife.
It is scenery and a recreation area for man. It is soil and watershed protection.

A) the United States seemed to have vast land for its people to walk around
B) the United States seemed to have enough land for sharing with everyone

本文是一篇人物介紹。 Noah Webster(1758—1843)出生于美國(guó)康涅狄格州，曾就讀于耶魯大學(xué)，后來(lái)開(kāi)始從事律師工作，因這一行業(yè)不景氣，所以改行教書(shū)。教書(shū)過(guò)程中，他發(fā)現(xiàn)所使用的課本不令人滿意，而且由于美國(guó)革命而減少了課本的發(fā)行，所以他開(kāi)始編寫(xiě)有關(guān)拼寫(xiě)，語(yǔ)法和閱讀書(shū)籍。這在美國(guó)是最早的也獲得了巨大的成功�！睹绹�(guó)拼寫(xiě)法》，這本書(shū)在十九世紀(jì)售出 8千萬(wàn)冊(cè)。Webster因此而獲得了一筆收入作為他后半生生活的主要來(lái)源。這本書(shū)不僅對(duì)一代又一代學(xué)生產(chǎn)生了巨大影響，而且也使Webster自己將其 注意力轉(zhuǎn)向研究語(yǔ)言的問(wèn)題，后來(lái)他編寫(xiě)了他的巨著《美國(guó)英語(yǔ)詞典》共有兩卷，1828年出版。其目的是表明英語(yǔ)在美國(guó)是真正的美國(guó)貨，應(yīng)該以美國(guó)人自己獨(dú) 特的角度來(lái)看待。他寫(xiě)道：“美國(guó)英語(yǔ)不僅重要，而且必要，美國(guó)人應(yīng)該有自己的美國(guó)英語(yǔ)詞典。盡管語(yǔ)言形式大體相同，但依然存在區(qū)別…”他采用美式拼法，注 上美式發(fā)音和美國(guó)意思，還特別引用美國(guó)作家們的語(yǔ)言，這在很大程度上使他這部作品名副其實(shí)。如果多年后有人依然懷疑獨(dú)立的美語(yǔ)的存在的話，無(wú)論如何他的貢獻(xiàn)在美國(guó)英語(yǔ)發(fā)展史上樹(shù)了一個(gè)里程碑。
31.答案C。
【參考譯文】 Webster開(kāi)始是靠當(dāng)律師維持生計(jì)的。

32.答案B。
【參考譯文】 他大部分的經(jīng)濟(jì)收入來(lái)源于他的拼寫(xiě)書(shū)的銷售。
【試題分析】 此題為尋找具體信息題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 見(jiàn)文中“ From a profit of less than one cent a copy, Webster got most of his income for the rest of his life.”這句話，聯(lián)系上下文得知，Webster的生活來(lái)源主要是靠出售《美國(guó)拼寫(xiě)法》一書(shū)所得收入，而不是靠出售他編撰的字典，語(yǔ)法和簡(jiǎn)易讀物。
33.答案A。
【參考譯文】 顯然當(dāng) Webster還是教師的時(shí)候就出版了他的第一批著作。
【試題分析】 此題為直接推測(cè)題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 此題可用排除法。文中沒(méi)有提到 doctor一詞，所以很容易排除。文中也沒(méi)提到他在當(dāng)學(xué)生期間的貢獻(xiàn)或成就，他開(kāi)始是律師，但后來(lái)改行當(dāng)了教師，是在執(zhí)教期間寫(xiě)的書(shū)。

【試題分析】 此題為判斷題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 此題可用排除法。 A不對(duì)，因?yàn)槲闹胁](méi)有提出 Webster創(chuàng)造出美國(guó)英語(yǔ)及其用途，他只是想表明美國(guó)英語(yǔ)與英國(guó)英語(yǔ)存在著區(qū)別。 B也不對(duì)，因?yàn)槲闹袥](méi)提及他改進(jìn)了美國(guó)英語(yǔ)。 D在文中也沒(méi)有提到，而且根據(jù)常識(shí)也可判斷D錯(cuò)。

從前的美國(guó)似乎有足夠的土地讓人們分享利用，但現(xiàn)在一切土地都有其主了;同時(shí)人口不
斷增長(zhǎng)，所以需要更多的場(chǎng)所，工作和娛樂(lè)。但問(wèn)題不只包括人口增長(zhǎng)，還包括滿足現(xiàn)代技術(shù)的需要：更多的煤提供能量，更多的電廠，有汽車又須有高 速公路，停車場(chǎng)，有飛機(jī)須有機(jī)場(chǎng)。寶貴的空間完全被占用了。僅公路就每年占用 20萬(wàn)英畝的土地，城市向郊區(qū)的蔓延侵吞了大面積的土地。盡管如此，但是有那么多土地可供利用，因此很難決定該如何利用。例如森林，可以提供木材，也可以是野生動(dòng)物的活動(dòng)場(chǎng)所，可以作為人類娛樂(lè)場(chǎng)所和風(fēng)景點(diǎn)，還可以有利于保護(hù)水土流失。
36.答案B。
【參考譯文】 美國(guó)過(guò)去似乎有足夠的土地讓人們分享意指……
【試題分析】 此題考查難句的理解。

38.答案C。
【參考譯文】 “現(xiàn)在一切土地都有其主了”告訴我們……
【試題分析】 此題考查難句的理解。
【詳細(xì)解答】 句中詞組“ speak for sth.”常用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，意思是“get the right to sth. in advance; reserve”，另外，根據(jù)上下文，運(yùn)用排除法，可以確定選C。
39.答案C。
【參考譯文】 通過(guò)詞組“ swallows up(完全占用)”我們知道寶貴的空間完全被占用。

【詳細(xì)解答】 詞組“ swallow up”意思是“use up completely; cause to disappear”。
40.答案D。
【參考譯文】 “ sprawl”這個(gè)單詞表明城市的擴(kuò)張沒(méi)有任何計(jì)劃。
【試題分析】 此題考查單詞在上下文中的含義。

【試題分析】 此題為語(yǔ)法題，考查獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)。
【詳細(xì)解答】 分詞的邏輯主語(yǔ)與主語(yǔ) (the teacher)不一致，這種獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)，在句中通常作狀語(yǔ)，現(xiàn)在分詞的完成形式主要用在狀語(yǔ)中表示該動(dòng)作在謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)作之前發(fā)生。故 A，B和D都不對(duì)。

Part Ⅳ
71.【參考譯文】 過(guò)去的十年間，人們——特別是青年人——逐漸意識(shí)到需要改變其飲食習(xí)慣，因?yàn)樗麄兂缘脑S多食品尤其是精制食品不利于健康。
【翻譯技巧】 此題需用詞性轉(zhuǎn)換法，并調(diào)整語(yǔ)序。
【翻譯點(diǎn)評(píng)】 句中 increasingly意為“逐漸地，越來(lái)越多地”，需要放在become和aware之間來(lái)翻譯，另外“ the need to change…”如果譯為“改變……的需要”就沒(méi)有譯成“需要改變……”來(lái)得直接，通暢。
72.【參考譯文】 一種有趣的現(xiàn)象表明，只要人們的飲食含有大量的粗面粉和蔬菜，某些疾病在那些國(guó)家就相應(yīng)減少。
【翻譯技巧】 此題需注意詞序的調(diào)整，兼有條件狀語(yǔ)從句作用的定語(yǔ)從句的翻譯，及句子結(jié)構(gòu)的分析。
【翻譯點(diǎn)評(píng)】 首先搞清楚本句結(jié)構(gòu)很重要， It是形式主語(yǔ)，動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)to note that…comparatively rare是真正主語(yǔ)。但如果機(jī)械地譯為“注意到在那些……的國(guó)家里，某些疾病相對(duì)少見(jiàn)是很有趣的”，就顯得太頭重腳輕了，所以譯為“一種有趣的現(xiàn)象表 明……”，動(dòng)詞“ note”后面的賓語(yǔ)從句中，名詞“countries”后面帶有where引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾，但這里“人們的飲食含有大量粗面粉和蔬菜”，和后面的 “某些疾病就相應(yīng)較少見(jiàn)”之間有種必然的條件關(guān)系，所以加上“只要……，就……”使譯文更有邏輯性。
73.【參考譯文】 計(jì)算機(jī)不僅能收集信息，還能以收集信息的同樣快的速
度把它們儲(chǔ)存起來(lái)，一旦需要就可以隨時(shí)將它們輸送出來(lái)。
【翻譯技巧】 此題需用增 (減)詞法，長(zhǎng)句短譯法。
【翻譯點(diǎn)評(píng)】 首先注意 not only…but also這個(gè)倒裝句，翻譯時(shí)應(yīng)還原，另外還要注意 “ can pour them out whenever they are needed”的翻譯，whenever they are needed譯為“一旦需要”就此譯為“無(wú)論什么時(shí)候需要”更簡(jiǎn)潔、流暢。
74.【參考譯文】 我們有把握地說(shuō)在未來(lái)的一段時(shí)間內(nèi)，我們的大腦至少要比計(jì)算機(jī)復(fù)雜一萬(wàn)倍。我們?cè)趺词褂盟鼈兪怯晌覀兌皇怯捎?jì)算機(jī)決定的。
【翻譯技巧】 此題需注意句子順序的調(diào)整。
【翻譯點(diǎn)評(píng)】 此題只要弄清“ for some time to come”就不難翻譯這個(gè)詞組意思是“在未來(lái)的一段時(shí)間內(nèi)”。
75.【參考譯文】 從每一本書(shū)不足一美分的利潤(rùn)中，韋布斯特賺取了他后半生的大部分收入。

寫(xiě)作指導(dǎo)
這是一篇關(guān)于廣告的議論文，考生應(yīng)根據(jù)題目所給出的結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行展開(kāi)，千萬(wàn)不可因?yàn)槭煜ぁ皬V告”這一題材就浮想聯(lián)翩，下筆千言卻離題萬(wàn)里。首先弄 清楚每一段的內(nèi)容及各段之間有何聯(lián)系，不要在寫(xiě)完了第一段之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)要寫(xiě)的第二段的內(nèi)容已在前一段寫(xiě)過(guò)了，所以寫(xiě)之前先構(gòu)思，找個(gè)腹稿，或在稿紙上寫(xiě)上要點(diǎn)。
在范文中，第一段指出廣告的目的有的是讓消費(fèi)者知道其產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)，但大多數(shù)廣告是為 了說(shuō)服人們買(mǎi)這而不是買(mǎi)那。第二段指出廣告是推銷產(chǎn)品的手段，做廣告讓消費(fèi)者清楚某種品牌比其他的更有優(yōu)勢(shì)是十分必要的。即做廣告的必要性及原因，最后一段寫(xiě)廠商做廣告的起初原因是因?yàn)樗麄儼l(fā)現(xiàn)花一筆錢(qián)對(duì)其產(chǎn)品做廣告總的來(lái)說(shuō)比降價(jià)出售更有利。
Sample Writing
Advertising
A certain amount of advertising is of an informative kind, the aim simply being to let consumers know what goods and services are available—“consumer education” as it is sometimes called. Most advertising, however, is of a persuasive or competitive kind, the aim of which is to persuade people to buy one thing rather than something else.
Advertising is a selling cost particularly associated with imperfect competition. Advertising is a way of marketing goods. In the sale of branded goods, advertising is essential in order to try to impress on consumers that one makers brand is superior to all others, although in fact the only difference between brands may sometimes be in their trade marks and labels.
Any producer with some degree of monopoly, however slight, will generally find it more advantageous to advertise his products widely and at considerable expense rather than cut his prices.
