To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the  45 .

Some are the  46  ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct  47  about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how  48  if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising,  49, you can print your products on T-shirts of your  50 . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more 51 .

More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to 52    a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask    53  about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re  54  effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public 55  that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance. 56 , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.

Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t 57  the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.

Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your 58 . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the 59   is based on previous positive experiences.

You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.

The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it ,we’ll become more intelligent.

The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.

I’ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.

1.What can we learn from paragraph 1?

A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.

B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.

C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music.

D. There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.

2.Why did many people believe in the idea of Mozart Effect?

A. Because a study described it in the journal Nature.

B. Because Mozart himself was a genius.

C. Because Mozart’s music is enjoyable.

D. Because Mozart’s music makes people relaxed.

3.The underlined sentence in paragraph3 suggests that 　　　　 .

A. people were strongly against the idea

B. the idea was accepted by many people

C. Mozart played an important part in people’s life

D. the US government helped promote the idea

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect?

A. Favorable            B. Objective        C. Doubtful        D. Positive

5.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Listening to Mozart , necessary?　　 B. What music is beneficial?

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to $1.01 per pack-smokers have jammed telephone "quit lines" across the country seeking to kick the habit.

This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.

The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.

In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston, S.C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation, the price was $4.78.

The influence is obvious.

In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.

Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans "who choose to smoke".

That's true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today's adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.

1.The text is mainly about 　　　 .

A. the price of cigarettes

B. the rate of teen smoking

C. the effect of tobacco tax increase

D. the differences in tobacco tax rate

2.What does the author think is a surprise?

A. Teen smokers are price sensitive

B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low

C. Tobacco taxes improve public health

D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise

3.Rogers' attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of 　　　 .

A. tolerance　　 B. unconcern

C. doubt　　 D. sympathy

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run

B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill

C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking

D. Adults will depend more on their families

If you don’t use it, you lose it. At least, that’s how the old saying goes. It refers to the idea that something which does not get used regularly quickly falls into a state of decline. Muscles, for example, will waste away without use. In order to resist this, people take regular exercise to keep their skills sharp.

Well, what about the brain? As we age, our brains can naturally begin to decline. In some cases, this can lead to certain mental conditions such as dementia (痴呆), which I’m sure you will agree, no one wants. However, all is not lost because these days it’s relatively easy to train your brain. Smart phones and apps have put programmes into our hands that can test, maintain and even improve our memories, mathematical skills and a lot of other mental abilities. With a little practice every day, we can keep our brains nice and sharp, right?

Well, no, actually. According to a report from the Global Council on Brain Health, even though many people thought it was important to play online games, such as puzzles and mind games, which are designed to improve brain health, the evidence of the benefits was “weak to non-existent”.

There are other ways to promote the old grey matter. It recommends seeking out new activities that challenge the way you think and are socially engaging, while leading to a healthy lifestyle. Among their suggestions are practising tai chi, taking photography classes, learning new technologies, gardening, art projects or volunteering.

There’s more good news, too. James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK has said that brain decline is not inevitable (不可避免的). As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health. So, hurry up, get out there and try something new. Maybe it’s time to try that hobby you’ve always wanted to do. And as for me? I’m off to learn the piano.

1.From which is the text probably taken?

A.A biology textbook. B.A research paper.

C.A travel brochure. D.A healthy magazine.

2.According to the passage, what can the brain training apps help you?

A.It will improve our brain health. B.It can make us smarter.

C.It does little to sharp our brain. D.It can prevent us from aging.

3.How to maintain brain health according to the author?

A.Using smart phone regularly. B.Trying something new.

C.Playing games online. D.Doing what you are good at.

4.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.How to spend time meaningfully at an old age.

B.How to keep brain sharp.

C.Disadvantages of using smart phones.

D.Advantages of trying something new.
