  • 第4题:

    Text 3 Over the past decade,many companies had perfected the art of creating automatic behaviors—habits—among consumers.These habits have helped companies earn billions of dollars when customers eat snacks or wipe counters almost without thinking,often in response to a carefully designed set of daily cues.“There are fundamental public health problems,like dirty hands instead of a soap habit,that remain killers only because we can't figure out how to change people's habits,”said Dr.Curtis,the director of the Hygiene Center at the London School of Hygiene&Tropical Medicine.“We wanted to learn from private industry how to create new behaviors that happen automatically.”The companies that Dr.Curtis turned to—Procter&Gamble,ColgatePalmolive and Unilever—had invested hundreds of millions of dollars finding the subtle cues in consumers'lives that corporations could use to introduce new routines.If you look hard enough,you'll find that many of the products we use every day—chewing gums,skin moisturizers,disinfecting wipes,air fresheners,water purifiers,health snacks,teeth whiteners,fabric softeners,vitamins—are results of manufactured habits.A century ago,few people regularly brushed their teeth multiple times a day.Today,because of shrewed advertising and public health campaigns,many Americans habitually give their pearly whites a cavitypreventing scrub twice a day,often with Colgate,Crest or one of the other brands.A few decades ago,many people didn't drink water outside of a meal.Then beverage companies started bottling the production of faroff springs,and now office workers unthinkingly sip bottled water all day long.Chewing gum,once bought primarily by adolescent boys,is now featured in commercials as a breath freshener and teeth cleanser for use after a meal.Skin moisturizers are advertised as part of morning beauty rituals,slipped in between hair brushing and putting on makeup.“Our products succeed when they become part of daily or weekly patterns,”said Carol Berning,a consumer psychologist who recently retired from Procter&Gamble,the company that sold$76 billion of Tide,Crest and other products last year.“Creating positive habits is a huge part of improving our consumers'lives,and it's essential to making new products commercially viable.”Through experiments and observation,social scientists like Dr.Berning have learned that there is power in tying certain behaviors to habitual cues through relentless advertising.As this new science of habit has emerged,controversies have erupted when the tactics have been used to sell questionable beauty creams or unhealthy foods.

    A.reveal their impact on people's habits
    B.show the urgent need of daily necessities
    C.indicate their effect on people's buying power
    D.manifest the significant role of good habits

    答案:A
    解析:
    推理题【命题思路】这是一道推理题。题干中提供的具体信息实则是文章中的例子,考生需要对上文和下文进行搜索在答题的时候首先需要找出论据所证明的观点。【直击答案】本题是典型的例证题,根据题干定位到第五段。阅读第五段内容可知,该段说明bottled water,chewing gun and skin moisturizers如何被人们广为应用。例子是用来说明观点的,因此可阅读上下段,即第四段和第六段,从中找到表达观点的句子,即可得出正确答案。第四段首句“…many of the products we use every day…are results of manufactured habits”及第六段首句“Our products succeed when they become part of daily or weekly patterns”,都说明了产品对习惯的影响,即A项的内容。【干扰排除】从第五段可知bottled water,chewing gun and skin moisturizers成为人们日常生活的必备品(daily necessities),但并未体现出urgent need,因此排除B项。C项也属于无中生有干扰项,作者并没有提能否买得起这样的问题,只是说过去没有这样的产品也就没有相关的生活习惯。D项中的“good”是错误的标志,作者只是客观阐述了产品对人们生活习惯的影响,并没有评论这些习惯的好坏。

  • 第5题:

    资料:The societal marketing concept questions whether the pure marketing concept overlooks possible conflicts between consumers short-run wants and consumer long-run welfare.Is a firm that satisfies the immediate needs and wants of target markets always doing what’s best for consumers in the long run? The societal marketing concept holds that marketing strategy should deliver value to customers in a way that maintains or improves both the consumers and society’s well-being.
    Consider today’s flourishing bottled water industry.You may view bottled water companies as offering a convenient,tasty,and healthy product.Its packaging suggests “green” images of pristine lakes and snow-capped mountains.Yet making,filling,and shipping billions of plastic bottles generates huge amounts of carbon dioxide emissions that contribute substantially to global warming Further,the plastic bottles pose a substantial recycling and solid waste disposal problem.Thus,in satisfying short- term consumer wants,the highly successful bottled water industry may be causing environmental problems that run against society’s long-run interests.

    Today’s bottled water industry______.

    A.generates carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming.
    B.produces healthy products with the “green” packages.

    【主题句】第2自然段You may view bottled water companies as offering a convenient,tasty,and healthy product.Its packaging suggests “green” images of pristine lakes and snow-capped mountains.Yet making,filling,and shipping billions of plastic bottles generates huge amounts of carbon dioxide emissions that contribute substantially to global warming Further,the plastic bottles pose a substantial recycling and solid waste disposal problem.Thus,in satisfying short- term consumer wants,the highly successful bottled water industry may be causing environmental problems that run against society’s long-run interests.您可能认为瓶装水公司在提供方便、美味和健康的产品。它的包装就让人想到原始湖泊和雪山的“绿色”环保形象。然而,制作、填充和运输数十亿塑料瓶,会产生大量的二氧化碳排放,对全球变暖产生极大影响。此外,塑料瓶也带来了大量的回收和固体废物处理问题。因此,在满足短期消费者需求的过程中,非常成功的瓶装水行业可能会引起环境问题,这与社会的长远利益背道而驰。
    【解析】本题的问题是“今天的瓶装水行业_______”。A选项“排放二氧化碳导致全球变暖”;B选项“生产使用‘绿色’包装的健康产品”;C选项“非常成功,因为它违背了社会的长期利益”;D选项“从原始湖泊和白雪皑皑的山脉中取水”。根据题目中关键词找到主题句,生产瓶装水瓶会产生大量的二氧化碳,继而导致全球变暖,A选项正确;瓶装水公司只是塑造了绿色环保形象,但并没有提及使用绿色包装或者在原始湖泊取水,故B和D选项错误;成功的瓶装水公司可能与社会长远利益背道而驰,而选项盲目建立其中因果联系,故C选项错误。

    The author's attitude toward the influence of advertisement on people's habits is_____

    A.indifferent
    B.negative
    C.positive
    D.biased

    答案:B
    解析:
    态度题【命题思路】这是一道观点态度题,可以通过判断作者最阐述这件事情的时候所用到的形容词的感情色彩进行判断。【直击答案】文章最后一段第一句指出“there is power in trying certain behaviors to habitual cues through ruthless advertising”,作者用含贬义色彩的“ruthless”(残酷无情的)修饰“advertising”,表明广告对人们习惯的影响,作者的态度是否定的。另外,第二句中也出现具有贬义色彩的形容词“questionable”和“unhealthy”,从中也可以看出作者对广告持否定态度,因此正确选项为B项。【干扰排除】根据态度题的做题原则中的责任原则:不承担责任的词一般都是陪考词,如impassive,indifferent等,可以排除A项。根据肯定原则:凡是自我否定的词一般都不入选,如biased,confused,puzzled等,可以排除D项。C项“positive”出现在第六段“creating positive habits is…”,用来修饰“habits”,而并非题干中的advertisement,属于偷换概念。
