Media Selection for Advertisements
After determining the target audience for a product or service advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising We focus our attention on seven types of advertising television newspapers radio magazines outofhome Internet and direct mail
Television
Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience When advertisers create a brand for example they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communicationBut television is an expensive medium and not all advertisers can afford to use it
Television＇s influence on advertising is fourfold First narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience The Golf Channel for instance
is watched by people who play golf Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects Thus audiences are smaller and more homogeneous(具特点) than they have been in the past Second there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers and thus advertisers This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed Third digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch Fourth control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers
Newspaper
After television the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenue is newspapers The New York Times which reaches a national audience accounts for 1 billion in ad revenue annually ii m increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40 and is now available for home delivery in ion ciues Locally newspapers are the largest advertising medium
Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer more detailed message to their audience than they can through 48 hoursmeaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the massage outNewspapers are ofen the most important form of news for a local community and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local reader
Radio
Advertising on radio continues to grow Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor billboards (广告牌) and ihe Internet to reach even more customers than television Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television which means advertisers can afford to repeal their ads often Internet companies are also turning 10 radio advertising Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the dayConsumers listen to radio on their way to school or work at work on the way home and in the evening hours
Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the
local stations they could receive in the past As a result radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart
Magazines
Newsweeklies women’s titles and business magazines have all seen increases in advertising because they attract the highend market magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver A broadcast medium such as network television attracts all types of audience members but magazine audiences are more homogeneous if you read sports illustrated for example you have much in common with the magazine’s other readers Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members
Advertiser using the print mediamagazines and newspaperswill need to adapt to two main changes First the internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers these second Advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences Although some magazines will maintain national audiences a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences
Outofhome advertising
Outofhome advertising Also called placebased advertising has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers who are more active than ever before Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television Using billboards newsstands and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these onthego consumers More consumers travel longer distances to and from work which also makes outofhome advertising effective technology has changed the nature of the billboard business making it a more effective medium than in the past
Using digital printing billboard companies can print a billboard in 2 hours compared with 6 days previously This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they
Can change their messages more quickly
Internet
As consumers become more comfortable with online shopping advertisers will seek to reach this market As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease The challenge to Internet advertisers Is to create ads that audience members remember
Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations＇ advertising in the near ftuture Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous but small Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the online medium as well
Direct mail

Passage One
Question 57 to 61 are based on the following passage
Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century but regardless of whether it is or isn＇t we won＇t do much about it We will argue over it and may even as a nation make some fairly solemnsounding commitments to avoid it But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem the less likely they are to be observed
A1 Gore calls global warming an inconvenient truth as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution But the real truth is that we don＇t know enough to relieve global warming and without major technological breakthroughs we can＇t do much about it
From 2003 to 2050the world ＇s population is projected to grow from 64 billon to 91 billion a 42 increase if energy use per person and technology remain te same total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions(mainlyCO2)will be 42 higher in 2050But that＇s too low because societies that grow richer use more energy We need econmic growth unless we condemn the world＇s poor to their present
Poverty and freeze everyone else＇s living standards With modest growth energy use and greenhouse emissions more then double by 2050
No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage driving and travel)that might cut back global warming Still politicians want to show they＇re doing something Consider the Kyoto Protoco(京议定书)It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn＇t But it hasn＇t reduced CO2 emissions(up about 25 since 1990)and many signatories(签 字国) didn＇t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 20082012 targets
The practical codusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster the only solution is new technology Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it
The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral proble when it＇s really an engineering one The inconvenient truth is that if we don＇t solve the engineering problem we＇re helpless
57What is said about global warming in the first paragraph
A) It may not prove an environmental crisis at all
B) It is an issue requiring worldwide commitments
C) Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it
D) Very little will be done to bring it under control
58According to the author＇s understanding what is A1 Gore＇s view on global warming
A) It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of
B) It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences
C) It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized
D) It is an area we actually have little knowledge about
59Greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050 because of ___
A) economic growth
B) wasteful use of energy
C) the widening gap between the rich and poor
D) the rapid advances of science and technology
60The author believes that since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol____
A) politicians have started to do something to better the situation
B) few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy use
C) reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warming
D) international cooperation has contributed to solving envoronmental problems
61What is the message the author intends to convey
A) Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one
B) The ultimate solution to global warming lies in new technology
C) The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs
D) People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming
Passage Two
Question 62 to 66 are based on the following passage
Someday a siranger will read your email without your permission or scan the Website you＇ve visitedOr perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phonebills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits
In fact it＇s likely some of these things have already happened to you Who would watch you without your permission It might be a spouse a girl friend a marketing company a boss a cop or a criminal Whoever it is they will see you in a way
you never intended to be seen the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy that it＇s important to reveal yourself to friends family and lovers in stages at appropriate times But few boundaries remain The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are where you are and what you like In some cases a simple Google search can reveal what you think Like it or not increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret
The key question is Does that matter
For many Americans the answer apparently is no
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy most say they are concerned about losing it A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is slipping away and that bothers me
But people say one thing and do another Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards Privacy economist A lessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Socail Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centsoff coupon(优惠卷)
But privacy does matter at least sometimes It＇s like health When you have it you don＇t notice it Only when it＇s gone do you wish you＇d done more to protect it
62 What does the author mean by saying the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked (Lines 34Para2)
A) People＇s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge
B) In the 21st century people try every means to look into others＇ secrets
C) People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age
D) Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology
63What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends
A) Friends should open their hearts to each other
B) Friends should always be faithful to each other
C) There should be a distance even between friends
D) There should be fewer disputes between friends
64 Why does the author say we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret (Line5para3)
A) Modern society has finally evolved into an open society
B) People leave traces around when using modern technology
C) There are always people who are curious about others＇ affairs
D) Many search engines profit by revealing people＇s identities
65 What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection
A) They change behaviors that might disclose their identity
B) They use various loyalty cards for business transactions
C) They rely most and more on electronic devices
D) They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it
66According to the passage privacy is like health in that ___
A) people will make every effort to keep it
B) its importance is rarely understood
C) is is something that can easily be lost
D) people don＇t cherish it until they lose it

PartⅠ Writing
Abundant recreational activities are available for people to release their strain and stress ranging from sports to online activities There is going on a hot debate arguing whether they are good for the public or not especially for college students
As for such a question different people hold different views Some believe that recreation is helpful if we want to keep healthy physically and mentally While there also sounds an opposite voice which claims that activities also bring many problems For example some young people are easily addicted to the virtual world online which affects their study seriously and may lead to worse consequences as well
As for me I hold a belief that recreational activities do more good than harm They do give us a good chance and efficiency too As long as we can arrange the time reasonably they will definitely provide more benefits for us

Media Selection for Advertisements
After determining the target audience for a product or service advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising We focus our attention on seven types of advertising television newspapers radio magazines outofhome Internet and direct mail
Television
Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience When advertisers create a brand for example they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communicationBut television is an expensive medium and not all advertisers can afford to use it
Television＇s influence on advertising is fourfold First narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience The Golf Channel for instance
is watched by people who play golf Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects Thus audiences are smaller and more homogeneous(具特点) than they have been in the past Second there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers and thus advertisers This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed Third digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch Fourth control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers
Newspaper
After television the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenue is newspapers The New York Times which reaches a national audience accounts for 1 billion in ad revenue annually ii m increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40 and is now available for home delivery in ion ciues Locally newspapers are the largest advertising medium
Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer more detailed message to their audience than they can through 48 hoursmeaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the massage outNewspapers are ofen the most important form of news for a local community and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local reader
Radio
Advertising on radio continues to grow Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor billboards (广告牌) and ihe Internet to reach even more customers than television Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television which means advertisers can afford to repeal their ads often Internet companies are also turning 10 radio advertising Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the dayConsumers listen to radio on their way to school or work at work on the way home and in the evening hours
Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the
local stations they could receive in the past As a result radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart
Magazines
Newsweeklies women’s titles and business magazines have all seen increases in advertising because they attract the highend market magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver A broadcast medium such as network television attracts all types of audience members but magazine audiences are more homogeneous if you read sports illustrated for example you have much in common with the magazine’s other readers Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members
Advertiser using the print mediamagazines and newspaperswill need to adapt to two main changes First the internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers these second Advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences Although some magazines will maintain national audiences a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences
Outofhome advertising
Outofhome advertising Also called placebased advertising has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers who are more active than ever before Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television Using billboards newsstands and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these onthego consumers More consumers travel longer distances to and from work which also makes outofhome advertising effective technology has changed the nature of the billboard business making it a more effective medium than in the past
Using digital printing billboard companies can print a billboard in 2 hours compared with 6 days previously This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they
Can change their messages more quickly
Internet
As consumers become more comfortable with online shopping advertisers will seek to reach this market As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease The challenge to Internet advertisers Is to create ads that audience members remember
Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations＇ advertising in the near ftuture Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous but small Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the online medium as well
Direct mail
A final advertising medium is direct mail which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client＇s message Direct mail includes newsletters postcards and special promotions Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumersFor many businessesdirect mail is the most effective from of advertising

Passage One
Question 57 to 61 are based on the following passage
Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century but regardless of whether it is or isn＇t we won＇t do much about it We will argue over it and may even as a nation make some fairly solemnsounding commitments to avoid it But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem the less likely they are to be observed
A1 Gore calls global warming an inconvenient truth as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution But the real truth is that we don＇t know enough to relieve global warming and without major technological breakthroughs we can＇t do much about it
From 2003 to 2050the world ＇s population is projected to grow from 64 billon to 91 billion a 42 increase if energy use per person and technology remain te same total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions(mainlyCO2)will be 42 higher in 2050But that＇s too low because societies that grow richer use more energy We need econmic growth unless we condemn the world＇s poor to their present
Poverty and freeze everyone else＇s living standards With modest growth energy use and greenhouse emissions more then double by 2050
No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage driving and travel)that might cut back global warming Still politicians want to show they＇re doing something Consider the Kyoto Protoco(京议定书)It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn＇t But it hasn＇t reduced CO2 emissions(up about 25 since 1990)and many signatories(签 字国) didn＇t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 20082012 targets
The practical codusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster the only solution is new technology Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it
The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral proble when it＇s really an engineering one The inconvenient truth is that if we don＇t solve the engineering problem we＇re helpless
57What is said about global warming in the first paragraph
A) It may not prove an environmental crisis at all
B) It is an issue requiring worldwide commitments
C) Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it
D) Very little will be done to bring it under control
58According to the author＇s understanding what is A1 Gore＇s view on global warming
A) It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of
B) It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences
C) It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized
D) It is an area we actually have little knowledge about
59Greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050 because of ___
A) economic growth
B) wasteful use of energy
C) the widening gap between the rich and poor
D) the rapid advances of science and technology
60The author believes that since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol____
A) politicians have started to do something to better the situation
B) few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy use
C) reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warming
D) international cooperation has contributed to solving envoronmental problems
61What is the message the author intends to convey
A) Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one
B) The ultimate solution to global warming lies in new technology
C) The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs
D) People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming
Passage Two
Question 62 to 66 are based on the following passage
Someday a siranger will read your email without your permission or scan the Website you＇ve visitedOr perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phonebills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits
In fact it＇s likely some of these things have already happened to you Who would watch you without your permission It might be a spouse a girl friend a marketing company a boss a cop or a criminal Whoever it is they will see you in a way
you never intended to be seen the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy that it＇s important to reveal yourself to friends family and lovers in stages at appropriate times But few boundaries remain The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are where you are and what you like In some cases a simple Google search can reveal what you think Like it or not increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret
The key question is Does that matter
For many Americans the answer apparently is no
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy most say they are concerned about losing it A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is slipping away and that bothers me
But people say one thing and do another Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards Privacy economist A lessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Socail Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centsoff coupon(优惠卷)
But privacy does matter at least sometimes It＇s like health When you have it you don＇t notice it Only when it＇s gone do you wish you＇d done more to protect it
62 What does the author mean by saying the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked (Lines 34Para2)
A) People＇s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge
B) In the 21st century people try every means to look into others＇ secrets
C) People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age
D) Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology
63What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends
A) Friends should open their hearts to each other
B) Friends should always be faithful to each other
C) There should be a distance even between friends
D) There should be fewer disputes between friends
64 Why does the author say we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret (Line5para3)
A) Modern society has finally evolved into an open society
B) People leave traces around when using modern technology
C) There are always people who are curious about others＇ affairs
D) Many search engines profit by revealing people＇s identities
65 What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection
A) They change behaviors that might disclose their identity
B) They use various loyalty cards for business transactions
C) They rely most and more on electronic devices
D) They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it
66According to the passage privacy is like health in that ___
A) people will make every effort to keep it
B) its importance is rarely understood
C) is is something that can easily be lost
D) people don＇t cherish it until they lose it
