A TV commercial can cost more than $6,000 a second. And that does not include the cost of paying for airtime. Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money and making money is what television is all about the commercial is by far the more important.Research, market testing, talent, time and money all come together to make us want to buy a product. No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works. The sales of Charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. We, in turn, buy the product.And the ads work because so much time and attention are given them. Here are some rules of commercial ad making. If you want to get the lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell to an upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hairstyle are types that the group identifies with. If you want the buyer feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.We laug h at commercials. We don’t think we pay that much attention to them. But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves. The making of a TV commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff. It’s big, big business.

Readers come in different levels, from beginners to advanced. English learners need to choose a reader that is suitable for their level.Why use readers? Lots of research shows that extensive reading improves all aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, speaking skills, fluency(流利),writing skills and reading comprehension.Reading is a way of learning English without classes or a teacher. It helps develop learner independence. And while reading graded readers, learners don’t have to run to a dictionary because the language is at their level.How do I get started? The entire class can read the same book or different books at different times.How do I know the right level? If your class is all reading the same book, choose one that is appropriate for their level. If your students are reading different books, you can have a selection of books at different levels. In this case, don’t worry too much about the level. A learner who is interested in detective stories might read a higher level book if the motivation(动机)is there.How to read the book depends on students’ age, motivation and clas s time available. Some classes like to read silently, others like to read aloud in small groups and some enjoy being read to by the teacher. Be sensitive to the class and ask for their opinions.Some pre-reading activities are needed. Before students open a book, it is important to spark interest in the story and in the whole process of reading. For example, ask them to guess what the story is from cover, chapter titles and let students put them in the best order, or discuss the author.During reading, choose a suitable chapter or chapters that can be broken down to make a comic strip (连环漫画). Or students select a part of the book to make into a radio play. Students can also become journalists and report on parts of the story. Choose a piece of action and have students write it up. Besides, students can role-play an interview with a character.61、Who do you think the passage is written mainly for?A.Students.B.Parents.C.Teachers.D.Pupils.62、When do you think students can become journalists and report on parts of the story?A.Before reading.B.During reading.C.During warming up.D.After reading.63、From the passage, we can learn that .A.readers can make classroom funB.reading can help develop learners dependenceC.some pre-reading activities are not neededD.extensive reading improves all aspects of language learning。

浙江省宁波市慈溪市2023-2024学年高二下学期6月期末英语试题一、阅读理解1．What does “a tear in the ocean” in Poem B imply?A．I feel sad for your love.B．You mean everything to me.C．I won’t stop loving you all my life.D．My love for you is as wide as the ocean. 2．Which poem is a suitable choice to encourage a frustrated friend?A．Poem A．B．Poem B．C．Poem C．D．Poem D．3．Which of the following themes is NOT covered in the four poems?A．Friendship.B．Freedom.C．Choices.D．Perseverance.“A good book is easy to find”, reads the sign on Hernando Guanlao’s two-storey ancestral home on the outskirts of the Philippines’ main financial district which he has turned into a free-for-all public library where anyone can borrow books or keep any of its thousands of books.It all began in 2000, when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. In memory of his parents who were able to gift their children with education, Guanlao gathered whatever books he had around the house, and placed them outside with a sign that reading was free. What started as a 50-book display has grown dramatically over the years, thanks to a steady supply of books from donors, some of whom opted to stay anonymous. “They just leave boxes of books outside my house,” said Guanlao.Called the Reading Club 2000, Guanlao’s library showcases a wide variety of books he hopes will inspire people, especially young curious minds to read. Books, believes Guanlao, need to live. And they are only alive if they are being read and used. He is firm about his goals: “My mission is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost, and to promote education through literature.”Migs M, a writer, admitted frankly, “One of my passions is reading, and I’ve always beenprotective of my books. So it’s quite a surprise for me to find out that a man actually set up the entire house he grew up as a free library.” Then her first time there, she ended up taking a book home. “As a believer in the power of words to inspire and transform, I applaud Guanlao and hope against all odds that there could be people like him in every street in every city of the country.”4．What’s Guanlao’s original purpose to set up the library?A．To make profits by sharing books.B．To motivate people into enjoying reading.C．To express honor to his parents for education.D．To promote students’ reading ability in Philippines.5．What do we know about the Reading Club 2000?A．The books are all from donors.B．The library centers on protecting the books.C．The books can be borrowed or bought as visitors wish.D．The library targets at raising people’s reading awareness.6．Which of the following words can be used to describe Guanlao?A．Devoted and clever.B．Ambitious and confident.C．Generous and knowledgeable.D．Inspiring and passionate.7．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Reading Club 2000: Free for All B．Reading Club 2000: A Public library.C．Hernando Guanlao: A Generous Charitarian.D．Hernando Guanlao: the Founder of Reading Club 2000.From more boiling summers to more frequent floods, warming weather is impacting our lives in every aspect. For animals, however, it’s not just a comfortable living environment in danger, but their very existence. Many animals are in danger of disappearing due to climate change. A study published on March 7 used fossils from sea creatures to find out which animals are facing the highest risk of extinction as our planet’s climate continues to shift.Carried out by the University of Oxford, the study found that the size of an animal plays a big part in its ability to survive and reproduce. Smaller animals are more likely to become extinct because they tend to use up their energy quickly due to their size. They need lots of food to keep going, so any change that makes food scarce affects them more. Furthermore, small animalsusually don’t live as long as larger ones, making them more vulnerable to factors that might reduce their numbers.Another problem is that small animals generally can’t travel far. So, if their current home is disturbed, or if they face danger, it’s tough for them to find new homes or escape threats, which speed up their extinction, according to the study.Apart from small animals, those living in extreme heat or cold, such as at the poles, are facing more threats from climate change. These places go through big weather changes, making life even more difficult for species that have already been dealing with tough conditions. As climate change worsens, these extreme environments change rapidly, posing a greater risk for the animals living there.This study presented us with important information on how to protect wildlife as the world gets warmer. By focusing on the most vulnerable species, conservationists can direct their work more effectively, making the most of limited resources and improving the chances of keeping biodiversity alive despite the environmental challenges.8．What does the underlined word “scarce” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Insufficient.B．Available.C．Unbalanced.D．Abundant. 9．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A．Smaller animals consume their energy at a lower speed.B．The life span of animals is definitely decided by their size.C．The small size of animals potentially limits their travelling distance.D．Animals’ habitats destruction makes them difficult to escape threats.10．What’s the function of the first sentence in Paragraph 4?A．Introducing the topic.B．Transiting to another point.C．Echoing the content in paragraph 3.D．Summarizing the above paragraphs. 11．Which of the following is a suitable measure to protect wildlife?A．Focusing on keeping biodiversity.B．Carrying out more research work.C．Reducing the usage of limited resources.D．Paying more attention to the most endangered species.When it comes to heart attacks, the first image that often comes to mind is that of amiddle-aged or older overweight man, clutching his chest and struggling with a pained expression. You’re far less likely to think of a female heart attack victim.According to Forbes, medical research has traditionally been led by men, which unavoidably leads to a lack of female-related data and information in medical research. From diagnosis to treatment, gender differences are often overlooked.A previous study found that women are 25 percent more likely to die of heart attacks than men in the same circumstances. The reason lies in the difference in heart attack symptoms between men and women. According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the top-ranking hospitals in the US, women are less likely to have chest pains, which are deemed as a typical symptom of heart attacks. Instead, they have more atypical symptoms, including shoulder pain and arm pain. As a result, many women were initially given a mistaken diagnosis, delaying access to the right treatment and increasing the fatality rate.Even if a female is correctly and promptly diagnosed with a heart attack, there’s another problem: medicine. Research has found that certain medicines used to dissolve blood clots (凝块) right after a heart attack can be helpful for a lot of men, but might lead to serious bleeding issues in women. Still, the fields of healthcare and medicine see a male’s body as the “standard” human body. For example, Valium (安定) has been promoted as the “mother’s little helper” for treating anxiety among women. However, a study noted that the medicine developer had never conducted a single trial involving women until 2003.Take a look at the medicine you have taken recently: There’s always one recommended dosage for adults. But who is this dosage meant for? An adult in general, or specifically an adult man?12．Which is the reason for a lack of female-related data and information in medical research?A．Gender differences are always ignored.B．Men play a main part in the medical research.C．The medical field is totally dominated by men.D．There is a shortage of women’s diagnosis and treatment.13．Why are women at a higher risk of dying of a heart attack than men?A．Women are less willing to seek medical help.B．Women often display less obvioussymptoms.C．Women are more easily given a wrong diagnosis.D．Women’s symptoms are often moresevere than men’s.14．Why does the author mention Valium in Paragraph 4?A．To demonstrate gender-based healthcare inequalities.B．To call for correct use of medicine on different people.C．To describe the historical use of Valium by both genders.D．To show Valium’s effectiveness in treating women’s anxiety.15．What is the passage mainly about?A．Differences in heart attack treatments.B．The importance of female data in medicine.C．The gender gap in healthcare and medicine.D．Misconceptions about female data in research.How to spot misinformation onlineWe’ve all seen it——an article online that seems absolutely crazy or unbelievable. 16 Misinformation isn’t just annoying, it can be false, misleading or even dangerous. But there’s good news: you have tools you can use to help sort through misinformation and identify what’s real and what’s fake.Pause and be skeptical about new information. Whenever you come across an article or post that you haven’t seen before, take a second to consider it. Don’t just scroll by accepting it as fact without exercising some skepticism first. 17 It’s better to investigate information to make sure it’s legal before spreading it around.18 Look up the information at the source to see if it was actually published there. Double-check the date of the article or information to make sure it’s current and still accurate. Usually, the date is located next to the author of the article.Check to see if you can tell who the original author is. Find out who wrote the information by looking up the article or searching for their name. Check to see if the author is an expert who often covers the subject. If the author isn’t listed, it’s a sign that it could be false or misleading information. 19Watch out for information that triggers a strong emotional response. 20 If you spot an article, a post or any other information that causes you to feel a super-strong emotion, be alerted. It could be a sign that it’s fake and designed to get a reaction out of you.A．It’s okay to be doubtful!B．Double-check the quote or the post.C．Confirm the source and date of the information.D．The thing is, there’s a lot of misinformation out there these days.E．If only one place is reporting something, the information may be false.F．Misinformation is often designed to make you feel angry, sad, or scared.G．An article by a registered doctor is more credible than one without an author mentioned.二、完形填空If it takes a village to raise a child, then January 17, 2014, was the day it took a village to save a child.Waiting and praying were a daily 21 for Michelle as she’s one of the hundreds of American children 22 a new liver.

A person who has a great sense of humor is often considered to be happy and socially confident. However, humor is a double-edged sword. Sometimes it can damage self-respect and annoy others.People who use bonding humor tell jokes and generally lighten the mood. They' re thought to be good at reducing the tension in uncomfortable situations. They often make fun of their common experiences, and sometimes they may even laugh off their own misfortunes. The basic message they deliver is: We，re all alike, we find the same things funny, and we，re all in this together.Put-down humor, on the other hand, is an aggressive type of humor used to criticize others through teasing. When it's aimed against politicians, as it often is,it's extremely funny and mostly harmless. But in the real world, it may have a harmful effect. An example of such humor is telling friends an embarrassing story about another friend. When challenged about their teasing, the put-down jokers might claim that they are just kidding, "thus allowing themselves to avoid responsibility.This type of humor, though considered by some people to be socially acceptable,may hurt the feelings of the one being teased and thus have a bad effect on personal relationships.Finally, in hate~me humor, the joker is the target of the joke for the amusement of others. This type of humor was used by comedians John Belushi and Chris Farley一both of whom suffered for their success in show business. A small amount of such humor is charming, but routinely offering oneself up to be embarrassed destroys one，s self-esteem, and fosters depression and anxiety.So it seems that being funny isn't necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being. In certain cases, it may actually have a negative effect on interpersonal relationships.1.In bonding humor, people create a relaxing atmosphere by.A.joking about experiences they shareB.showing their personal relationshipsC.teasing experiences of their friendsughing at other's misfortunes2.Which of the following is among the common targets of put-down humor?edians.B. Jokers.C. Politicians.D. Actors.3.In the passage, the author mainly conveys.A.humor can be classified into three kindsB.humor has its bright side and dark sideC.humor deserves to be studiedD.humor is highly valued2、Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) is one of the most original and influential figures in the history of photography.His photographs helped establish photojournali sm as an art form.Henri's family was wealthy-his father made a fortune as a textile manufacturer一but Henri later joked that due to his parents5 economical ways, it often seemed as though his family was poor.Educated in Paris, Henri developed an early love for literature and arts. As a teenager, Henri was against his parents5 formal ways of education. In his early adulthood, he fell in love with several appetites, but it was art that remained at the center of his life.Henri traveled to Africa in 1931 to hunt antelope and boar. And Africa fueled another interest in him: photography. He then wandered around the world with his camera, using a handheld camera to catch images from fleeting moments of everyday life.Not long after World War II, Henri traveled east, spending considerable time in India, where he met and photographed Gandhi shortly before he was killed in 1948. Henri's work to documentGandhi's death and its immediate effect on the country became one of Life Magazine，s most prized photo essays.Henri's approach to photography remained much the same throughout his life. He made clear his dislike of images that had been improved by artificial light, darkroom effects, and even cutting. The naturalist in Henri believed that all editing should be done when the photo is taken. In 1952, his first book, The Decisive Moment, a rich collection of his work spanning two decades, was published. "There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment, 〃he said.In 1968, he began to turn away from photography and returned to his passion for drawing and painting.4.Which of the following is true about Henri's photography career?A.He developed a passion for photography when traveling to Africa.B.He quit photography on publishing The Decisive Moment.C.He documented Gandhi's everyday life.D.He devoted all his life to photography.5.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 2?A.Costly.B. Generous.C. Financial.D. Saving.6.What is special about Henri's approach to photography?A.He only shot photos at decisive moments.B.He preferred to edit his images in his darkroom.C.His most photos described things in their natural ways.D.He tried different ways and settled on being a naturalist.3、On June 23, 2010, a Sunny Airlines captain with 32 years of experience stopped his flight from departing. He was deeply concerned about a power part that might run out of all electrical power on his trans-Pacific flight. Regardless of his concerns, Sunny Airlines pressured him to fly the airplane over the ocean at night. When he refused to put the safety of his passengers at risk, Sunny Airlines5 Security removed him out of the airport, and threatened to arrest his crew if they did not cooperate.Besides that, five more Sunny Airlines pilots also refused to fly the aircraft, expressing their own concerns about the safety of the plane. It turned out the pilots were right: the power partwas faulty and the plane was removed from service and finally fixed. Eventually a third crew operated the flight, hours later. In this whole process,Sunny Airlines pressured their highly experienced pilots to ignore their safety concerns and fly passengers over the Pacific Ocean at night in a plane that needed maintenance. Fortunately for all of us, these pilots stood strong and would not be frightened.Don，t just take our word. Please research this yourself and learn the facts at www. SunnyAirlinePilot. org.
