17.If you live in Tokyo or Toronto,you need a warm coat in the winter.(71)B The aim of advertising is to change our ideas about things we want and need.
Some ads for designer products use people's vanity(虛榮心) to sell the product.The ads try to create a personality for each brand.For example,one brand of watches is for people who like adventure,with ads featuring an auto racer or a pilot wearing them.Another brand of watches is for elegant and fashionable people,and the ads show wealthy travelers on a cruise ship.The watches look almost the same-only their images are different.When you buy that brand of watch,you are buying the image.(72)E
Many ads use people's emotions to persuade us that we need the product.Think of a TV commercial that shows a woman out driving in a car on a rainy day,with her two small children.Suddenly,another car turns in front of her.The mother quickly hit the brakes,and her car comes to a stop.The children are still smiling and laughing.The message is:This car will keep you safe.(73)A Other examples are slogans that tell you to"take vitamins to prevent heart disease,"or"buy insurance-protect your family."
Commercials for soft drinks often show people having a party,playing sports,or enjoying a day at the beach:Everyone in the ad is having a good time.The message is:If you buy this drink,you will have a good time too.Many ads like this are based on people's desire for fun and enjoyment.
(74)F Psychologists have found that people have positive feelings about things they see more often,so the same ad is used for a long time before it is replaced with a new ad.Other studies found that people react better to an ad when it is fresh in their memory,so TV ads are repeated very often.
Knowing about psychology in advertising lets us make better decisions about the things we buy.(75)G

A.Advertisements like this one use fear to sell products.
B.But you want one that is short,or black,or has a designer brand.
C.You have to be careful not to be fooled by the ads on the Internet.
D.But the children may not realize that what they are viewing is unreal.
E.This is the reason that people spend much more money for a product.
F.After an ad is prepared,advertisers use psychology to make it more effective.
G.It helps us know the difference between what we want and what we really need.

分析 本文主要介紹了廣告宣傳帶來的巨大效應以及它的幾個鮮明的特點.廣告創(chuàng)意充分利用人們的情感因素、心理因素來誘導人們購買許多實際并不需要的產(chǎn)品.并通過舉例來說明相關(guān)的觀點.

解答 BEAFG
71.B.考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力.根據(jù)前后兩句的內(nèi)容可知,此處強調(diào)的是冬天在東京或者多倫多需要的暖和衣服的特征,是要有廣告設(shè)計的服裝,即B.But you want one that is short,or black,or has a designer brand.故選B.
72.E.考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力.由前面的描述以及When you buy that brand of watch,you are buying the image可知,這些都是敘述的人們熱衷于廣告宣傳產(chǎn)品的原因,即This is the reason that people spend much more money for a product.故選E.
73.A.考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力.本段開頭一句Many ads use people's emotions to persuade us that we need the product.說出了廣告宣傳的途徑是利用人們的情感;然后舉例意在誘導人們購買他們宣傳的產(chǎn)品,即A.Advertisements like this one use fear to sell products.故選A.
74.F.考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力.一開始指出了心理學家的發(fā)現(xiàn),(Psychologists have found )最后提到so TV ads are repeated very often可知,這是講解的廣告宣傳利用的心理學戰(zhàn)術(shù);故選F.
75.G.考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力.結(jié)合Knowing about psychology in advertising lets us make better decisions about the things we buy一句可知,了解這一策略有助于我們區(qū)分廣告宣傳的和我們真正需要的差異;故選G.

點評 本文屬于七選五閱讀理解,做此類題要在理解文章整體的基礎(chǔ)上,補全所缺的部分.針對這個特點,解答時要注意語境和上下文的聯(lián)系,同時還要注意文章的寫作方法和結(jié)構(gòu).尤其要留心選項中的信息詞(空格前后句子中與選項中相同或相近的詞),站在作者的寫作立場,選出最符合作者原意的句子.

12.Following one million middle-aged women in Britain for 10 years,a study finds that the widely held view that happiness enhances health and longevity is unfounded.
The results come from the so-called Million Women Study,which took on women aged 50 to 69 from 1996 to 2001,and tracked them with questionnaires and official records of death and hospital admissions.The questionnaires asked how often the women felt happy,in control,relaxed and stressed,and also instructed them to rate their health and list ailments like high blood pressure,diabetes,depression or anxiety.
When the answers were analyzed statistically,unhappiness and stress were not associated with an increased risk of death.It is not clear whether the findings apply to men.
Professor Peto said particularly important data came from 500,000 women who reported that they were in good health,with no history of heart disease,cancer,or stroke.A minority of these healthy women said they were stressed or unhappy,he said,but over the next decade they were no more likely to die than were the women who were generally happy.
"This finding refutes(駁斥)the large effects of unhappiness and stress on deathrate that others have claimed,"Dr.Peto said.Unhappiness itself may not affect health directly,but it can do harm in other ways,by driving people to suicide,alcoholism or other dangerous behaviors,he warned.
This type of study,in which people involved depends on their self-assessments,is not considered as reliable as a designed experiment where people involved are picked at random and assigned to a treatment or control group.But the huge number of people in this study gives it power.Still,some observers noted that measuring emotions is more nuanced(細微的)and complex than simply declaring happiness or unhappiness.
"I would have liked to see more discussion of how people translate these complicated feelings into a self-report of happiness,"said Baruch Fischhoff,a psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University.
The results of earlier studies have been mixed,with some finding that unhappiness causes illness and others showing no link,Dr.Fischhoff said."It looks to me like people have collected a lot of data without finding a clear signal,"he said.However,an editorial accompanying the study in The Lancet noted that it had the largest population so far in happiness studies and praised its statistical methods.
Professor Peto said he doubted whether the new study would change many minds because beliefs about the risks of unhappiness are so rooted."People are still going to believe that stress causes heart attacks,"he said.
