Passage 1
Why don’t birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.
A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of this flight.
But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.
1. The reason why birds don’t get lost on long flights ___________ .
A. have been known to scientists for years
B. have only recently been discovered
C. are known by everyone
D. will probably remain a mystery
2. During daylight hours, birds ___________.
A. fly aimlessly B. rely on landmarks
C. use sun for guidance D. are more likely to get lost
3. By “his outdoor cousins” the author means___________.
A. other experimenters
B. the other doves of the same brood
C. doves under the natural sky
D. other birds in general
4. The experiment with the dove indicated that__________ .
A. birds have to be taught to navigate
B. a bird that has been caged will not fly long distances
C. some birds cannot fly at night
D. some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night
5. In total darkness, doves _________.
A. use landmarks B. don't’ know which way to fly
C. fly back home D. wait for the stars to appear
Passage 2
Advertising as we know it today did not begin in the United States until after the Civil War. Before that, advertising had consisted mainly of small paragraphs in which a man simply stated what he wanted to sell. Later, Benjamin Franklin became known as the “Father of Advertising”, partly because he used the modern copy-writing technique of emphasizing the rewards derived from using a product, rather than simply talking about the product itself.
The 19the century is also the period in which trademarks and slogans were born. Manufacturers often advertise a product by associating it with a symbol, often a person or an animal, known as a trademark; the trademark fro a product may only be used by that particular company. For instance, the trademark of the RCA Victor Company is a picture of an old record player with a dog listening to the record; it appears in most RCA ads and on most of their products.
Slogans and trademarks are still widely used in modern advertising, but generally the approach has become more scientific. With hundreds of products that are nearly identical, an advertiser must somehow make his product look different, even if it really isn’t. It has been said that the two most important words in advertising are “free” and “new”. Middle class Americans usually think that if a product is new, it is always better; and when people aren’t buying a product, calling it “new” often does wonders for its sales.
6. Modern advertising began in the USA _______..
A. in the 19th century
B. after the Civil War
C. when trademarks and slogans were born
D. when people wanted to make their product look different.
7. Benjamin Franklin was named the “Father of Advertising” partly because _____.
A. he invented the trademark
B. he advertised his products first
C. he first used some important words like “free” and “new” in his advertisement
D. he used modern copy-writing technique to stress the rewards derived from using a product
8. What statement is true about trademarks?
A. Trademarks were first used in the Civil War.
B. Trademarks are used as a symbol of a product in advertisement.
C. Trademarks came into being along with the modern advertisement.
D. Different companies can have the same trademark.
9. About advertising, middle class Americans usually think that _____.
A. if a product is “new”, it’s always better
B. if a product is advertised, it’s always better
C. if a product looks different; it’s really different from other products
D. if a product is advertised, it costs less
10. Which title do you think is better fro the passage?
A. The Father of Advertising.
B. Slogans and Trademarks in Advisement.
C. The Development of Advertising in the USA.
D. The Difference of the Old and Modern Advertisement.
