Copywriting is the art of sending a message in writing, especially in advertisements, for the purpose(目的) of persuading someone to do something. This is especially true when writing descriptive(描述性的) copy. Why? Because customers’(顾客) senses don’t work on paper. They only work in person. That’s why copywriters have to create a sensory experience for their customers through their words.
When copywriters create descriptions, they often leave a lot to be desired. There is no interaction(互动) or experience. Descriptions should be descriptive. Successful descriptions should fill the gap of what customers would see, hear, smell, taste or feel as if they were standing before the product. Successful descriptions should also draw customers’ attention and create an actual event as if they could be right there.
Do you make cinnamon rolls(肉桂卷)?You wouldn’t want to describe them simply as “delicious” or “smell great”. Instead, you’d want to bring your customers to the experience of enjoying them. Something like this will work better: Completely NOT your grandma’s cinnamon rolls! Freshly bake them right in your own oven. As the strong pleasant smell of these excellent rolls begins to float in the air, your nose will start to feel excited and you’ll immediately know they are worth the wait.
When writing descriptive copy, choose the senses that are most proper and focus on them. If describing food, certainly you’ll think about not only what you’re tasting, but also what you smell and see. If you’re writing travel copy, you’ll focus on sights, sounds as well as feelings. Your goal is to have your readers close their eyes and imagine they are in the same experience as you are.
小题1:The purpose of copywriting is to        .
A.create a pleasant experience
B.develop customers’ five senses
C.persuade people to do things
D.give people rich imagination
小题2:The writer develops the third paragraph mainly        .
A.by cause and effect(因果)B.by order in space
C.by order in timeD.by examples
小题3: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.People’s five senses
B.Copywriting and advertisements
C.Descriptive copywriting
D.Copywriting and the five senses

Last night, when I was driving back home, I noticed a hitchhiker(搭便车的人) who was having no luck getting a ride. I rolled down my__ 21  and signed to the man to my car. I asked him where he was   22   and he told me he needed a    23   to his doctor’s office which would close in 15 minutes. I told him to   24   and he gratefully did so.
25   he got in he told me that he was a   26   and went out to sea for weeks at a time. He took medicine for his nerves and  27   to get another prescription(处方) before he left on the boat. He said that he had prayed (祈祷) 28   would stop for him so he could be there before the   29   office closed. With some 30   driving we managed to make it there in about 10   31 . I then asked him how he   32   on getting back home and he said he could walk. “I’ll patiently 33   for you and bring you back,” I told him. He 34   me and said he should only be about 15 minutes.
Afterwards he got back in my   35  and tried his hardest to pay me back: offering me dinner, gas money, even offering to ship me 40 lbs of scallops (海扇贝)!

“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite(背诵) the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says, you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
小题1:In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _______.
A.to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
B.to memorize the English words and grammatical rules
C.to translate everything into his own language
D.to forget your own native language
小题2:“Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.
A.stop you mastering EnglishB.help you study English well
C.make English easy to learnD.help you notice mistakes
小题3:The underlined words“to feel the language” here means________.
A.to get a knowledge of English by touching
B.to be able to read and write English
C.to be able to experience the rich feeling of the language
D.to translate English into your own by imagining

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略,好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.
The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

A.They eat and sleep together.
B.They watch each other’s behaviors.
C.They learn to speak each other’s language.
D.They know something from each other’s voices.
小题4:It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.
A.have common interestsB.are less different than was thought
C.have a common body languageD.are not so smart as was expected
小题5: What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A.We should learn to get along well with others
B.We should know more about animals.
C.We should live in peace with animals.
D.We should learn more body languages.

A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was connected to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the BritishMedicalJournal.
Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians — although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.
Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.
But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said,“It_ is_ like _the _chicken  _and _egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?”
小题1: What’s the result of the research mentioned in the text?
A.Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.
B.Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.
C.Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.
D.Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.
小题2:It was found in the research that________.
A.most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out
B.vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians
C.female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
D.vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
小题3:What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors.
B.The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle.
C.The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain.
D.The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.
小题4:What’ s the best title for the text?
A.Get more IQ points!
B.Be a vegetarian, please!
C.Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk
D.A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian

At Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, the lights are controlled by sensors that measure sunlight. They dim immediately when it’s sunny and brighten when a passing cloud blocks the sun.
A wall of windows at a University of Pennsylvania engineering building has built-in blinds (百叶窗) controlled by a computer program that follows the sun’s path. Buildings are getting smarter and the next generation of building materials is expected to do even more.
Windows could catch the sun’s energy to heat water. Sensors that measure the carbon dioxide breathed out by people in a room could determine whether the air conditioning needs to be turned up.
Many new materials and technology have been designed in the last 15 years. They are now being used in a wave of buildings designed to save as much energy as possible. They include old ideas, like “green roofs”, where a belt of plants on a roof helps the building keep heat in winter and stay cool in summer, and new ideas, like special coating for windows that lets light in, but keeps heat out.
As technologies such as sensors become cheaper, their uses spread.
The elevators (电梯) at Seven World Trade Center, which is under construction in New York, use a system that groups people traveling to nearby floors into the same elevator, thus saving elevator stops. People who work in the building will enter it by swiping (刷) ID cards that will tell the elevators their floor, readouts will then tell them which elevator to use. The building also has windows with a coating that blocks heat while letting in light.
More new building materials and technology are in development. A Philadelphia building firm is now working on “smart wrap” that uses tiny solar collectors to catch the sun’s energy and transmitters (传输器) as wide as a human hair to move it. They are expected to change the face of the construction industry in the next ten years or so.
小题1:________ will be developed and used in the construction industry.
A.“Green roofs” that cool or heat buildings
B.“Smart wrap” that catches the sun’s energy
C.Sunlight-measuring sensors that control lights
D.Window coating that lets light in, but keeps heat out
小题2: The elevators at Seven World Trade Center are special because they can ________.
A.send people to floors with fewer stops B.teach people how to use their ID cards
C.make people stay very cool in summer D.help people go traveling in the building
小题3: The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A.a human hairB.smart wrap C.the sun’s energyD.a transmitter
小题4:What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A.Buildings Are Becoming Smarter B.Buildings Are Getting More Sunlight
C.Buildings Are Lacking in Much Energy D.Buildings Are Using Cheaper Materials
