The

Have you ever watched a television show
or a movie and felt like you were watching a
really
long
commercial?
If
so,
then
you’ve
fallen
___31______to
bad
product
placement
(
产
植
入）
.Clever
marketing folks want their products to be __32_
within a scene, but not the focus.
When
done
correctly,
product
placement
can
add
a
sense
of
realism
to
a
movie
or
television
show.
Product
placement
___33______
from
as
early
as
1950s
when
a
drinks
company
paid
to
have a
character in the movie The African Queen toss
loads of their product overboard. Since
then, there have been countless
placements in thousands of movies.
Sometimes
product
placement
just
happens.
A
set
dresser
(
布景人员）
might
think
of
something that
_34
—
the level of
credibility or realism of the story. One example
is the use of a
can of ant killer in a
violent fight scene in the popular television
programme The Sopranos. A
spokeswoman
for the manufacturer said if the company had not
been
—
35
—
about the use of
their product, they
would not have given it a thumbs-up.
Arranged product placement deals are
more prevailing. The most common type is a simple
exchange of the product for the
placement. A deal is made; in exchange for the
airtime, the cast
and crew are provided
with a(n)___36______supply of the company's
products.
Sometimes, a gift of the
product
isn’t
an appropriate
form
of compensation, and then the
deal, ____37___with money, works well.
Someone from a manufacturer's marketing team hears
about a movie project, and approaches
the set dresser with a(n) _38_ attractive
proposal. They
come to an agreement,
and the product makes a number of
39
—
casual appearances. Both
teams
are happy.
Before
product placement really saw a rapid growth in the
mid-1980s, it was pretty much a
do-it-
yourself
___40___.
Now
there
are
entire
agencies
that
can
handle
the
job.
Some
larger
corporations
will
dedicate
personnel
to
seek
out
opportunities
for
placement
within
films,
television shows
——
even games and music.

Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:
For each blank
in the following passage there are four words or
phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in
each blank with the word or phrase that best fits
the context.
Traditionally
uniforms
were
manufactured
to
protect
the
worker.
When
they
were
first
designed, it is
also
likely
that
all
uniforms
made symbolic sense
—
those for the military,
for
example,
were
originally____41_____to
impress
and
even
terrify
the
enemy;
other
uniforms
indicated a
distinction in ____42_____ chefs wore white
because they worked with flour, but the
main chef wore a black hat to show he
inspected and supervised.
The last 30
years, however, have seen an increasing____43_____
on their role in mirroring
the
image
of
an
organi
zation
and
in
uniting
the
workforce,
particularly
in
“customer
facing”
industries. From
uniforms and workwear has emerged “___44______
clothing”. “The people you
employ are
your ambassadors
(
大使）
，
’’ says
Peter Griffin, managing director of a major
retailer
in the UK. “What they say, how
they look, and how they behave is of vital
importance.” From
being a simple means
of ___45___ who is a member of staff, the uniform
is emerging as a new
channel of
marketing communication.
Truly
effective
marketing
through____46_____
images
such
as
uniforms
is
a
subtle
art,
however. How we look
sends all sorts of powerful messages to other
people. Dark colors give a
sense
of
____47_____
while
lighter
color
shades
suggest
approachability.
Certain
dress
style
creates a sense of
conservatism
(
守旧）
，
while others
a sense of___48______ to new ideas. If the
company is selling quality, then it
must have quality uniforms. If it is selling
style, its uniforms
must be stylish. If
it wants to appear ____49____
,
everybody can’t look exactly t
he same.
But
turning corporate
philosophies
into the right combination
of color, style, degree of
branding and
uniformity is not always ____50_____. According to
Company Clothing magazine,
there are
1000 companies supplying the workwear and
corporate clothing market. Of these, 22
____51_____for 85% of total sales
一
£
380
million in 1994.
A successful uniform
needs to___52______two key sets of needs. On the
one hand, no
uniform will work if staff
feel uncomfortable or ugly. On the other hand, it
is ___53______ if the
look doesn't
express the business's marketing strategy. The
greatest challenge in this respect is
time. When it comes to human awareness,
first impressions count. Customers will assess the
way
staff look in just a few seconds,
and that few seconds will____54_____ their
attitudes from then
on.
Those
few
seconds
can
be
so
important
that
big

Section C
Directions
: Read the
following three passages. Each passage is followed
by several questions or
unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four
choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the
information given in the passage you have just
read.
(A)
St Kilda is a tiny
archipelago (
群岛）
of the North
Atlantic Ocean. The islands are among the
most spectacular, but the greatest
fascination is that, for over a thousand years,
people lived there
and possessed a
sense of community. Cut off from the mainland, the
islanders had a distinct way
of living
their lives, mainly eating the seabirds that
returned to breed on the rocks.
Isolation
also
had
a
big
effect
upon
St
kildans
attitudes
and
ideas.
The
people
sacrificed
themselves
year
in
and
year
out,
in
a
constant
battle
to
secure
a
livelihood.
In
such
harsh
conditions, life was only possible
because the whole community worked together.
In
the
19th
century
St
Kilda
was
subject
to
pressures
from
the
outside
world.
Education,
religion and tourism all attempted to
throw the St Kildans5 way of life into doubt. In
the early
20th century, the strength of
the community became weakened as contact with the
rest of Britain
increased. When disease
cut their numbers, and wind and sea made it
difficult to get adequate
food, the St
Kildans were forced to turn to the mainland for
assistance.
In 1930, the St Kildans
finally agreed to abandon their homes. They
settled on the Scottish
mainland, not
realizing it meant throwing themselves into the
20th century. As adults, they had to
accept those values most Scots believe
in. For instance, the islanders found it difficult
to' base
their
existence
upon
money.
They
had
never
lived
in
a
world
where
they
bought
goods
and
services from each other.
The islanders showed themselves
indifferent to the jobs they were given on the
mainland.
The labours asked of them
were unskilled compared with
the spectacular skills
they
had once
performed in
order
to kill
seabirds. Moreover, killing
birds had once provided the
community
with food to survive. On the mainland,
however, the tasks they were asked to perform did
not
provide them immediately with what
was needed to keep them fed and warm.
The history of the St Kildans after the
evacuation
(
撤离）
，
of their
inability and lack of
resolution to fit
into urban society, makes sad reading. When they
were resettled on the mainland,
the
St
Kildans
were
forced
to
live
in
a
society
whose
values
were
unacceptable
and
incomprehensible to the majority of
them. For many, the move was a tragedy.
56.
According to Paragraph 3, the following
factors lead to St kildans seeking help from
outside
EXCEPT______________.
A.
unbearable wind B.
insufficient food supply
C. contact
with Britain
D. worsening health
57.
After the St Kildans
inhabited Scotland, they
.
A.
soon learned how to buy
goods and services from others
B.
had trouble adapting to the value of
dominant society.
C.
exhibited willingness to carry out
their given jobs.
D.
had the
opportunity to show their skills of killing
seabirds.
58.
Which of the
following is NOT about how people used to live on
St Kilda?
A.
The major
source of food was found locally.
B.
It was essential for people to help
each other.
C.
Very few
people had visited mainland Scotland.
D.
Money played an
insignificant role in life.
59.
What is the passage mainly concerned
with?
