21、 A good advertisement will draw customer’s attention towards your product. That is what every business really wants, in addition to your actually buying their product. In this article we will round up several great ads that cover many different styles but all have one thing in common, that is they connect to their audience.
King Oscar: Open
This ad puts forward an idea that King Oscar's fish products are as fresh as they can possibly get. This idea is then realized by combining a fish and one of their canned products showing the customer they will be buying a fish straight from the ocean. This simplistic image gives off just enough to tell the consumer what the deal is with their product.
Panasonic 3D TV: Dino
Here is another ad that has a lot going on but still is able to get its message across fairly easily. We will first notice the dinosaur in the mess living room but then see the girl pointing at the TV, which will give us the impression that Panasonic's 3D televisions are extremely realistic. The great art direction leads to the customer understanding what product is on display almost immediately.
Pepsi: Straws
This clever Pepsi ad conveys a lot to the customer; at first glance it gives the impression that Pepsi is the preferred choice of even the straws(吸管). And then after that it makes fun of Coca Cola by using their red and white colors for the other can as well as their classic design. This is a very clever ad on many levels.
Canal+: iPhone Titanic
This ad may take a bit more time to understand but the design itself can keep a customer interested. The large finger and the iPhone in the corner can quickly help the viewer connect the dots with the sinking Titanic ship and show that we can have all our favorite movies right on our iPhones.
【1】What is the common feature of great advertisements?
A.They involve many different styles.
B.They will draw every business’attention.
C.They can attract customers and touch them.
D.They make comparison between products.
【2】What is special about King Oscar?
A.Its fish products are very fresh.
B.It conveys a lot to the customers.
C.People can buy fish directly from ocean.
D.It gives us extremely realistic impression.
【3】Which advertisement mentioned its competitor?
A.King Oscar: Open. B.Panasonic 3D TV: Dino
C.Pepsi: Straws. D.Canal+: iPhone Titanic.
22、Should We Create More National Parks
Don't you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming national parks extinct? 【1】And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks.
【2】If this environment is destroyed-for example, when farmers clear a forest for new fields, or trees are cut down for making money, many animals are unable to survive, and more species are likely to become extinct.
In addition, national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted. A major reason why many species are endangered is that the animals are killed by hunters. They hunt animals to make money.【3】
On the other hand, some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it wrong to interfere with nature. They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment.【4】They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.
All in all, these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks, because these parks allow animals to live in a safe environment. 【5】
A.They say though the animals may face danger, they enjoy a free life.
B.Firstly, national parks protect the animals' natural environment.
C.To begin with, animals are important to humans.
D.I personally believe that we must save these animals.
E.There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.
F.In fact, they protect animals from their greatest enemies--human beings.
G.Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.
23、The population of monarchs passing the winter in Mexico appears to have fallen. Now, the good news for Illinois’ state insects: The Field Museum in Chicago is trying to figure out what makes a successful monarch garden in the city, and it’s proper to start preparing for this summer.
The Field Museum project involves citizens reporting on spaces that researchers can’t walk into every day, like backyards. Participants sent in weekly reports, including the makeup of their garden,and development of eggs and caterpillars. The more successful gardens had more milkweed (乳汁草) and blooming plants, multiple milkweed species, and tended to be larger plots. But Klinger, an expert at the Field Museum,said one participant with a single plant watched eggs transform all the way to chrysalises (蛹). So, she said, “You just need one plant.”
In 2020, during the second season of the study, the number of caterpillars dropped even though the number of participants in the study more than doubled.
Chicago saw a hot, dry summer — its warmest on record, and Klinger said that may have affected the health of the milkweed plants. The reports out of Mexico noted this season’s eastern population drop followed an increase in forest loss,which was 4 times what it was a year ago, primarily from illegal tree cutting, as well as trees hit by wind and drought. But they also said spring and summer weather conditions were tough for milkweed blossoms and egg development in the southern US, which is largely responsible for limiting reproduction.
“But now is the optimum time to start planning to plant some milkweed. The best thing to do is what you can do. One milkweed plant in a pot on your balcony (阳台) is doing something,” Klinger said.
【1】What does Klinger imply about monarch gardens in paragraph 2?
A.More milkweed is a must for larger plots.
B.It’s necessary to participate in this project.
C.It’s easy for citizens to garden for monarchs.
D.One plant can also make a great difference.
【2】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Bad weather seen in the southern US.
B.Factors leading to the monarch’s decline.
C.Human activities causing harm to butterflies.
D.Plants responsible for the monarch’s reproduction.
【3】What does the underlined word “optimum” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Fixed.
B.Special.
C.Perfect.
D.Acceptable.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Gardeners Lend All Insects a Hand
B.Plant Milkweed to Save Monarchs
C.Cities Provide the Best Habitat for Monarchs
D.Necessary Approaches to Helping out Butterflies
24、Farmers have to work really hard in the fields. But what will happen if they are sick and not able to work before they can get a harvest (收成) in? Greg Bishop is a farmer who is fighting a serious disease and needs all the help he can get to harvest his crops (庄稼).
But thankfully, other local farmers who live in the loving west Texas community have been lending him a helping hand with his cotton crops while he is in trouble. His crops cover 1,200 acres in Floyd County, but because of his poor health, Bishop can't do hard work in the fields.
Aaron Hendricks, general manager of Floydada Co-Op Gins, has known Bishop for the last 25 years. He has seen 35 to 40 people come in to his office to help Bishop during this difficult time. Hendricks said that the farmers willingly came to help him by preparing machines and watching Bishop's farm to keep track of when the cotton would be ready to be harvested. When harvest time came, his farmer neighbors brought machines worth $ 12 million to Bishop's farm, and they started harvesting his cotton fields by 3 p.m. on the very same day.
People even came from long distances to help Bishop out, who was moved by these acts of kindness from the community. He thanked everyone who helped him out, but nobody felt the need for any thanks as they were already thankful for all Bishop had done for the community and just wanted to help him out.
They haven't stopped there either and have even started a fundraiser (募捐活动) to help Bishop stay in Dallas for the medical treatment he needs. He also needs to travel to Baylor for 100 days for a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and many people in the community say they are ready to see if their bone marrow is a good match.
【1】What difficulty did Bishop have with his farm?
A.He saw his cotton crops fail.
B.He had too many crops to get in.

D.Strong-willed.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Hard Work Pays
