21、Questions 56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog.Time limit: 4 minutes and 20 seconds Advertising (廣告) can be thought of as the means of making something known in order to buy or sell goods or services. Advertising aims to increase peoples awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform

22、and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message, and the press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television, although more expensive can be very effective. Posters (海報(bào))

23、 are fairly cheap and more permanent (永久地) in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer (消費(fèi)者) interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising. We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid by the producer or by the consumer. Since adverti

24、sing forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large-scale advertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less. It is difficult to measure t

25、he influence of advertising on sales exactly. When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand.

If the money was not paid immediately, the gan

29、gsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Getting protection money is not a modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their lifework dest

30、royed by gangsters. Six hundred years ago, Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to rent

31、 his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of mone

32、y in this way. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero.

36、 developing baby. Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS from working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it from drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for, or

37、 touching an AIDS patient. There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (無法解釋的) weight loss, and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that

38、do not go away, and a higher than normal body temperature. However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test. When a virus enters the body, the body

39、s defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗體) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will

40、ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批準(zhǔn)) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test.

More than one half of them have died. But doctors say evidence (證據(jù)) also shows there is no reason for persons t

45、o become terrified (驚嚇) by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an infected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities. A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journal (雜志) o

46、f Medicine. The doctors studied 101 family members who lived with AIDS and lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients.

47、t the AIDS virus. They note, however, that the girls mother had the disease. They believe the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease. The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily s

48、pread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools, and other public places. Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason to punish AIDS patients and to force them to live separately from other persons. American health officials recently warned, ho

49、wever, that some health care workers should take special care. The report noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective (保護(hù)性的) covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental (牙科的) work, or other times when the pat

50、ient may bleed. In the United States, most AIDS patients are homosexual (同性戀的) men, people taking drugs who used infected needles (針頭), and people who received infected blood.
