Until recently, women in advertisements wore one of three things — an apron, an attractive dress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry about offending advertisements. “This ad degrades women.” they protested(抗議).Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies still produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertising that offends the consumer?
The ASA, the body which deals with complaints about print media, is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are pictured in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows: although women are often annoyed by the ads, few feel strong enough to complain.
Women are not the only victims of poor and boring stereotypes(老套)— in many TV commercials men are seen either as useless, childish fools who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as inconsiderate fellows, always on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to suffer more from the industry’s inability to put people into an authentic present-day situation. Yet according to Emma Bennett, director of a London advertising agency, women are not aggressive or extremely angry about those stereotypes and sexist (歧視婦女)advertising. “They just find it annoying or tiresome.”
She says that it is not advertising’s use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it is handled. “The most important thing is the advertisement’s tone of voice. Women hate being insincerely praised or given desperately down-to-earth common-sense advice.”
In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumer to tell advertisers where they fail, and the process of change will remain slow until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their –feelings known.
小題1:Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to        .
A.change women’s opinions of themselves
B.show any understanding of consumers’ feelings
C.persuade the public to buy certain products
D.meet the needs of the advertising industry
小題2:According to the writer, the commonest fault of present-day advertising is to         .
A.condemn the role of the housewifeB.ignore protests about advertisements
C.present a misleading image of womenD.picture the activities of men wrongly
小題3:Emma Bennett suggests that advertisement ought to        .
A.give further emphasis to practical advice
B.change their style rather than their content
C.use male images instead of female ones
D.sing higher praise for women than before
小題4:We can learn from the passage that advertising industry should         .
A.take its job more eagerlyB.do more pioneering work
C.take notice of the public opinionD.concentrate on the products advertised

In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

If you know exactly what you want, the best way to get a job is to get specialized training. A recent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training. 
That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor’s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies, especially, like a background of formal education coupled with work experience. But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the effect of a degree washes out after five years.
As further evidence of companies gradually losing faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz mentions a pattern in hiring practices. Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management.  “They want someone who isn’t constrained(限制)by details to look at the big picture,” says  Scheetz. This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts (文科)graduates. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems. David Birch, manager of the Boston Red Sox, claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,” says Birch.
For a liberal-arts degree, students focus on some basic courses that include literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior—plus a computer course or two. With these useful and important courses, you can feel free to specialize, “A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,” says Scheetz. 
小題1:
What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?
A.Students with a bachelor’s degree in humanities.
B.People with an MBA degree from top universities.
C.People with formal schooling plus work experience.
D.People with special training in engineering
小題2:
By saying “…but the effect of a degree washes out after five years”(Para 2), the author means     
A.most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation
B.a(chǎn)n MBA degree does not help in the future promotion
C.MBA programs will not be as popular in five years’ time as they are now
D.people will not forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got
小題3:
According to Scheetz’s statement ( Para. 3), companies prefer people who     
A.have a strategic mind B.a(chǎn)re talented in fine arts
C.a(chǎn)re ambitious and aggressive D.have received training in mechanics
小題4:
David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because they     
A.a(chǎn)re more capable of handling changing situations
B.can stick to established ways of solving problems
C.a(chǎn)re thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fields
D.have attended special programs in management
小題5:
Which of the following statements does the author support?
A.Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists.
B.Formal schooling is less important than job training.
C.On-the-job training is, in the long run, less costly.
D.Generalists will do better than specialists in management.

Hawaii has planned to be the first U.S. state to roll out(正式推出)electric car stations statewide --- a move towards weaning the islands off oil.
Hawaii, which is far away from the U.S. mainland, imports foreign oil for almost 90 percent of its energy needs. One–third of that oil is used to power cars and buses on island streets. This move will help Hawaii meet its goal of reducing fossil fuel use by 70 percent by 2030.
Better Place, a Palo Alto, California-based company, will build the car recharging stations and provide recharged batteries for electric cars. The company will purchase renewable energy --- such as wind power --- from Hawaiian Electric Co.
Better Place picked Hawaii for the first statewide rollout in part because the islands are a contained environment, with few vehicles (車輛) coming in and out. Better Place would need to build a bigger network across several states to serve some mainland markets. Hawaii also has rich renewable energy resources, including wind, solar and wave power. This is important because Better Place won’t use oil. Better Place plans to recharge its batteries at night with power from Hawaii’s wind farms. That power normally goes unused because of Hawaii’s low nighttime energy needs.
Hawaii is an ideal place to show off Better Place technology because the state welcomes over five million tourists each year from the U.S. mainland, Japan, Canada and the rest of the world. “If we can get them into electric cars when they rent, we do two great things,” Shai Agassi, Better Place’s founder and chief executive officer, said. “One, we avoid emissions (排放物); two, we use the opportunity to educate them, to teach them in Hawaii how it needs to be done in the rest of the world.”
However, Hawaii doesn’t expect to spend any money to improve the network. Maybe it needs to offer tax breaks or other ways to encourage people to buy electric vehicles when they are first offered.
小題1:
The underlined part “weaning the islands off oil” (in Para 1) probably means _________.
A.exploring the islands for oil
B.stopping Hawaii’s dependence on oil gradually
C.importing more oil from other islands
D.increasing the amount of oil used there
小題2:
Why is Hawaii chosen to be the first state where car recharging stations will be built statewide? _________
①There are few cars in Hawaii.
②Hawaii can provide environmentally friendly energy.
③Plenty of oil has been found in Hawaii.
④Hawaii is separated from the mainland with few vehicles coming in and out.
A.①, ③B.②, ③C.②, ④D.①, ④
小題3:
When visitors to Hawaii rent electric cars, they _________.
A.will be taught it is necessary to do as Hawaiians do to protect the earth
B.will be offered tax breaks
C.need to be told what should be done before travelling
D.should be given the chance to try two things before driving
小題4:
We can infer from the passage that _________.
A.Better Place is a company producing electric cars
B.people are not encouraged to buy electric cars
C.electric cars will be recharged with power from renewable resources
D.Hawaii now has reduced the use oil by 90 percent

English families face being limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year. Households throwing away more waste will have to take it to the tip (垃圾站) or buy a limited number of extra bags.

Doretta Cocks, protester of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections, said, “They must think we are fools. How can they claim to be concerned for the environment when they tell people to drive to the local tip? And what do you do if you don’t have a car? Walk?”
The plan ignores the voice from ministers to end such heavy – handedness (笨拙).
It is to be carried out by the Tory – led council (市政廳) in Wokingham, Berkshire, and is already in operation in Brozbourne in Hertfordshire.
Many of the 180 councils that still offer unlimited weekly rubbish collections are watching the trial.
Wokingham officials have told residents that 75 – litre bags will be given to each household and anything not left in them will not be collected.
“Every household will receive 80 bags every year,” it said. “You can buy extra bags in rolls of ten but this will not be encouraged.”
Families of five will get 100 rubbish bags a year and households of six or more will get 120.
Residents will have a weekly recycling collection limited to cans, paper and cards, plastic bottles and so on.
Plastic packaging and glass including bottles must either go with the general waste or be taken to recycling points. Green waste pick – ups cost an extra £60 a year.
The council has told residents it will save £922,000 a year under the new system. There will be no local consultation (商討) before it is introduced next April.
小題1:What’s Doretta Cock’s attitude towards the new plan?
A.Satisfied.B.Curious.C.Angry.D.Interested.
小題2:What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the seventh paragraph?
A.Receiving 80 rubbish bags every year.B.Buying extra bags every year.
C.Driving to city tips.D.Getting 100 rubbish bags a year.
小題3:It can be learned from the passage that         .
A.the new plan is agreed by most ministers
B.the new plan will waste a lot of money
C.the government has asked for much advice of the new plan
D.the new plan does not necessarily do good to the environment
小題4:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.English families are limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year
B.English families can’t clear away their rubbish
C.English families are angry with their government
D.English government pays no attention to residents’ interest

Prices are rising continuously.The condition is termed(稱作) one kind 0f inflation, the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable.People have got used in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation.
What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. It seems that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall.If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices,one might think that inflation does not matter.But it does when money is losing value,it lacks one of the qualities of a good money---stability (穩(wěn)定) of value.It is no longer acceptable as a store of value;and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延期) payments.Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession,so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates people spending,and prevents people from saving.
