II. Comprehension
DIRECTIONS: Read the following passages carefully and answer Question 39 -58 according to the information therein. Each question has four choices, A-D. Choose the best alternative and blacken the letter of your choice on the separate answer sheet provided.

Section One: Reading Passage I

1. Where would modern society be without advertising? Individual advertisers might think they are just trying to sell a particular product but  advertising as a whole sells an entire lifestyle. It weren’t for advertising the whole of society would be quite different. The economy, for instance, would be planed into a crisis without the adverts and all the publicity that fuel out desire for limitless consumption.

2. As John Berger observed in his book “Ways of Seeing” all advertising conveys the same simple  message: my life will be richer, more fulfilling one I make the next  crucial purchase. Adverts persuade us with their images of other: who have apparently been transformed and are, as a result, enviable. The purpose is to make me marginally dissatisfied with my life- not with the life of society, just with individual life. I’ am supposed to imagine myself transformed after the purchase into of envy for others- a1 envy which will then given  me back my love of myself.

3. The prevalence of this social envy is a necessary condition if advertising is to have any hold  on us whatsoever. Only if we have got into the habit of comparing ourselves with and finding ourselves lacking, will we fall prey to the power of advertising.

4. While fanning the flames of our envy advertising keeps us preoccupied with ourselves, cur houses, our cars, our holidays and the endless line of new electronic gadgets suddenly seem indispensable. Tensions in society and problem in the rest of the world, if attended to at all, quickly fade into the background. They are certainly nothing to get particularly worked 1p about. After all, there can’t be nay winners without losers. That’s life.

5. People like John Beryer are also not entirely over the moon about the impact that advertising and shopping have on the value political freedom. Freedom is supposed to be the highest value in in our societies  but in the age of the consumer that freedom is all too readily identified with the freedom to choose between Pepsi and Coke McDonald’s and  Kentucky Fried Chicken, Toyota and Ford, and people lose interest in  the various political freedoms and our ability to participate in the process of exercising democratic control. There are lots of criticism that could be made of modern democracies, but no one is going to pay much attention to them if they are more interested in becoming happy shoppers.

6. In all these ways advertising helps to keep the whole socio-economic show on the road. We are rarely aware of this because we are too busy working to earn the money to pay for the objects of our dreams that play on the screen of our mind like the little clips of film we see in the commercial breaks.

A. Consumers will buy products of their choices.
B. It prevents the economy from plummeting into crisis.
C. Adverts limit the endless desire for consumption.
D. People need publicity to fuel their needs.

41.The word them (in paragraph 5) refers to
A. modern democracies
B. advertisers
C. shopper
D. criticisms

42. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that
A. Social envy creates the end need for advertising.
B. people compare themselves with others in order to have what they think they need and what they lack.
C. The prevalence of social envy is a necessary condition for advertising.
D. The influence of advertising lies in its power to make people envious of others.

A. Advertising forces us to be less concerned about tensions in society and other social problems.
B. Advertising advises us to give more attention to things that are of concern to us collectively.
C. New electronic gadgets are truly indispensable.
D. Advertising adds to our existing problems.

A. advertising is more than merely trying to sell a product.
B. advertising is a key factor in human existence.
C. society would have no place in the modern world without advertising.
D. advertising has little influence on our lifestyle.

45. The writer is more concerned about
A. the criticisms made of modern democracies.
B. the attention given to modern democracies
C. the happiness of shoppers as a result of good advertising.
