Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

Then a challenger loomed on the horizon. Nike founder Phillip Hampson Knight had believed that it was enough to make high-quality, low-cost shoes and have leading athletes endorse them for the sales to roll in. But this was not sufficient when rival shoes manufacturer Reebok began to present shoes as a fashion symbol for the trendy people who exercised regularly at health gyms.

People began to see Reebok shoes as “cool” and the trendy thing to wear, while Nike was left with the more rugged image associated with tough sports stars. As a result, Nike’s sales dropped sharply. Knight had to look urgently for a way to prop up the Nike image.

He called in an unknown but imaginative advertising agency, Weiden & Kenny. To give Nike a new image, the agency created commercials and promotional ideas around Michael Jordan. The commercials focused on Jordan as the man whose hard work and fancy shoes enabled him to fly.

Nike advertising campaigns became famous for never pitching the product or even mentioning Nike’s name. They created a mood, an attitude, and then associate the product with that mood. As Weiden and Kenny put it: We don’t set out to make ads. The ultimate goal is to make a connection. In 1996 Advertising Age, an advertising publication gave Nike its Marketer of the Year award for advertising excellence.

The effect of Nike’s well-financed and clearly focused marketing strategies has been that Nike had become the dominant brand in global sports shoe field. 1. What does the word “challenger” (Line 1, Para. 1) refer to? A. Sales difficulty B. Reebok

C. Trendy people D. Leading athletes 2. Why did Nike sales drop sharply?

A. Because Nike shoes are high-quality, low-cost shoes and have only leading athletes endorse them for the sales to roll in.

B. Because of the trendy people who exercised regularly at health gyms. C. Because people regarded Nike as unfashionable. D. Because of Nike founder’s wrong decision.

3. What is the feature of Weiden & Kenny’s marketing strategies for Nike? A. They never pitch the product or even mention Nike’s name.

B. They create a mood, an attitude, and then associate the product with that mood. C. They don’t set out to make ads. The ultimate goal is to make a connection. D. All of the above.

4. The effect of Nike’s marketing strategies is that __________.

A. it accounts for the biggest market share in global sports shoe field B. it has become a famous brand in global sports shoe field C. it won Marketer of the Year award for advertising excellence D. it beats its rival

B. the influence of Phillip Hampson Knight’s decision on the development of Nike C. the influence of excellent advertising on the development of Nike D. Jordan’s importance in the advertisement of Nike

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction. You need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.

If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3 second plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you,” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.

6. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that__________. A. every glance has its significance

B. staring at a person is an expression of interest C. a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable D. a glance conveys more meaning than words

7. If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is __________. A. to look into another passenger’s eyes B. to avoid eye contact with other passengers C. to signal you are not a threat to anyone D. to keep a distance from other passengers

8. By “a dimming of the lights” (Para. 1, Line 9) Erving Goffman means “__________”. A. closing one’s eyes B. turning off the lights

C. ceasing to glance at others

D. reducing gaze time to the minimum

9. If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel __________. A. depressed B. uneasy

43

《新视野大学英语综合技能训练》 Students’ Book Unit 4, Book 1

C. curious D. amused 10. The passage mainly discusses __________. A. the limitations of eye contact

B. the exchange of ideas through eye contact C. proper behavior in situations

D. the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication

Passage Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked: “So, how have you been?” And the boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”

This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.

The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.

Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was not longer exists. Why?

Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.

In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscriminately, to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.

Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.

11. According to the author, feeling depressed is __________. A. a sure sign of a psychological problem in a child B. something hardly to be expected in a young child C. an inevitable phase of children’s mental development D. a mental state present in all humans, including children

12. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world __________. A. through contact with society B. gradually and under guidance

44

《新视野大学英语综合技能训练》 Students’ Book Unit 4, Book 1

C. naturally and by biological instinct D. through exposure to social information

13. The phenomenon that today’s children seem adultlike is attributed by the author to __________.

A. the widespread influence of television B. the poor arrangement of teaching content

C. the fast pace of human intellectual development D. the constantly rising standard of living

14. Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children? A. It enables children to gain more social information. B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing. C. It helps children to memorize and practice more. D. It can control what children are to learn.

15. What does the author think of the change in today’s children? A. He feels amused by their premature behavior. B. He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note. C. He considers it a positive development. D. He seems to be upset about it. Part Ⅶ Writing
