<i><b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the </b></i>
<i><b>correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 36. </b></i>


Advertising helps people recognize a particular brand, persuades them to try it, and tries to keep
them loyal to it. Brand loyalty is perhaps the most important goal of consumer advertising. Whether they
produce cars, canned foods or cosmetics, manufacturers want their customers to make repeated
purchases. The quality of the product will encourage <i><b>this</b></i>, of course, but so, too, will affect advertising.


Advertising relies on the techniques of market research to identify potential users of a product.
Are they homemakers or professional people? Are they young or old? Are they city dwellers or country
dwellers? Such questions have a bearing on where and when ads should be placed. By studying
readership breakdowns for newspapers and magazines as well as television ratings and other statistics, an
advertising agency can decide on the best way of reaching potential buyers. Detailed research and
marketing expertise are essential today when advertising budgets can run into thousands of millions of
dollars.



Advertising is a fast-paced, high-pressure industry. There is a constant need for creative ideas that
will establish a personality for a product in the public's mind. Current developments in advertising
increase the need for talented workers.


In the past, the majority of advertising was aimed at the traditional white family - breadwinner
father, non- working mother, and two children. Research now reveals that only about 6 percent of
American households fit this stereotype. Instead, society is fragmented into many groups, with working
mothers, single people and older people on the rise. To be most successful, advertising must identify a
particular segment and aim its message toward that group.


Advertising is also making use of new technologies. Computer graphics are used to grab the
attention of consumers and to help them see products <i><b>in a new light</b></i>. The use of computer graphics in a
commercial for canned goods, for instance, gave a new image to the tin can.


<b>Question 29: What does the passage mainly discuss? </b>
<b>A.</b> How to develop a successful advertising plan.


<b>B. </b>New techniques and technologies of market research.
<b>C. </b>The central role of advertising in selling products.
<b>D. </b>The history of advertising in the United States.


<b>Question 30: The word "</b><i><b>this</b></i>" in bold type in paragraph 1 refers to______.
<b>A.</b> the quality of the product <b>B. </b>effective advertising
<b>C. </b>repeatedly buying the same brand <b>D. </b>the most important goal
<b>Question 31: It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that advertisers must______. </b>


<b>A.</b> encourage people to try new products


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(5)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=5>

<b>A.</b> studying television ratings.


<b>B. </b>hiring researchers with backgrounds in many fields.
<b>C. </b>searching for talented workers.

<b>A.</b> millions of dollars <b> </b> <b>B. </b>a college-educated work force
<b>C. </b>innovative thinking <b>D. </b>government regulation


<b>Question 34: According to the passage, most advertising used to be directed at______. </b>

<i><b>answer to each of the questions </b></i>


Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities
proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home
after finding a source of food, it marks the route by <b>intermittently touching its stinger to the ground and </b>
depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone – a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the
context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in
either direction.


Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from
members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail
pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail
pheromone of the leafcutter ant Atta texana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to
lead a column of ants three times around Earth.


The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this
signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to <b>furnish the highest concentration </b>
of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right
and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other
antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space.



The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right
antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the
trail.


<b>Question 23: What does the passage mainly discuss? </b>


<b>A. The information contained in pheromones B. The mass migration of ants </b>

An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet's dominants - most distinctive feature -
the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes get in the way of truly examining global issues.
Seen from far away, it is easy to realize landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that
two thirds of the Earth's surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total
three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than
90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.


The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world's rain forests doesn't seem
surprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found
many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from every
other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with
750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than
differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably by sea. Nearly every


major type of plant and animal has some presentation there.


To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of
ocean water life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacteria cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals,
including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.


<b>Question 41: What is the main point of the passage? </b>
<b>A. The sea is even richer in life than the rain forest </b>
<b>B. Humans are destroying thousands of species. </b>
<b>C. Coral reefs are similar to rain forests. </b>


<b>D. There are thousands of insect species. </b>


<b>Question 42: The word “appreciation” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to </b>


<b>A. forgiveness </b> <b>B. ignorance </b> <b>C. tolerance </b> <b>D. recognition </b>


<b>Question 43: </b>Why does the author compare rain forests and coral reefs in paragraph 1? Most of their
inhabitants require water.


<b>A. They are approximately the same size. </b> <b>B. They share many similar species. </b>
<b>C. Most of their inhabitants require water. </b> <b>D. Both have many different forms of life. </b>
<b>Question 44: The passage suggests that most rain forest species are </b>


<b>A. bacteria </b> <b>B. birds </b> <b>C. insects </b> <b>D. mammals </b>


<b>Question 45: The word “there” in paragraph 3 refer to </b>


<b>A. the rain forests </b> <b>B. the sea </b> <b>C. the Earth's surface D. a tree </b>



<b>Question 46: The author argues that there is more diversity of life in the sea than in the rain forests because </b>
<b>A. more phyla and classes of life are represented in the sea </b>

<b>D. marine life-forms reproduce at a faster rate </b>


<b>Question 47: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an example of microscopic sea life? </b>


<b>A. Coral </b> <b>B. Shrimp </b> <b>C. Sponges </b> <b>D. Starfish </b>


<b>Question 48: Which of the following conclusions is supported by the passage? </b>
<b>A. Ocean life is highly adaptive. </b>


<b>B. Ocean life is primarily composed of plants. </b>


<b>C. More attention needs to be paid to preserving ocean species and habitats. </b>
<b>D. The sea is highly resistant to the damage done by pollutants. </b>
