Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events on the advertising calendar, as companies vie to produce the most memorable and innovative ads. The battle for the National Football League's ultimate prize attracts more viewers than anything else on American television and provides a "symbolic pulsetaking" for the advertising industry every February, says John Frelinghuysen, an analyst at Bain and Company, a consultancy. But this year the patient is in poor health. All the advertising slots(广告摊位) for the 2008 Super Bowl had been sold by the end of November 2007, despite the $ 2.6 million price of each. For 2009 the price has risen to $ 3 million, but at least, ten slots (out of 67) are still looking for a buyer.

General Motors, which ran 11 ads on Super Bowl Sunday in February 2008, has already said that it will not run any in 2009. America's two other big carmakers, Ford and Chrysler, are likely to follow suit. Tellingly, Monster com, an online job-search company, said recently that it was buying a slot. Instead of the usual parade of expensive ads paying tribute to American consumerism, 2009's Super Bowl will reflect a country in recession and indicate a hard year for the advertising industry.

Most forecasts for next year say that ad spending in America will decline by 5% or more. Much depends on the fate of the automotive industry: carmakers and dealers normally spend around $ 20 billion a year on advertising, but Chrysler and Ford scaled back their expenditure by more than 30% in the first nine months of 2008, and are expected to make further cuts in 2009 as they struggle for survival.

The car industry's situation will hurt all media, but especially television. Analysts at BMO Capital Markets predict that total spending on television ads will fall by almost 9% next year. Only newspapers, where a decline of 12% is expected, are forecast to fare worse. Carmakers have already shifted some of their advertising spending to the Internet, and are likely to go further in 2009. Car ads make up 25% of advertising revenues for local television channels, and carmakers have been among the most consistent buyers of high-priced ads on national television.

So far local stations have been most affected by falling spending oil advertising. National stations have been safer, because they operate on longer-term contracts with advertisers. But in the New Year they will also feel the chill, as companies fail to renew their contracts. Television, which has remained strong as print media have lost advertising dollars and readers to the Internet, could enter a decline of its own. "Next on the list is TV stations," says Anthony Diclemente, a media analyst at Barclays Capital.

Why does the author give the example of Super Bowl？

A．Because it is the most popular football games in America.

B．Because it shows advertisers' enthusiasm in running slots has dropped.

C．Because it is an event that attracts the attention of advertisers.

D．Because it will be right on in America in 2009.

听力原文：（A = AlexS = Sophie)A: Job losses are expected at the Manchester plant of the be

听力原文： (A = Alex S = Sophie)

A: Job losses are expected at the Manchester plant of the beauty products manufacturer, Vie Vitale, Sophie Jones has been following the story and is in our Manchester studio. Good morning, Sophie.

S: Good morning, Alex.

A: So, job losses, Sophie？ How are things going？ We've been hearing reports of up to 300 jobs going.

S: Well, if Vie Vitale does go ahead with restructuring and that includes the disposal of its manufacturing base, then as many as 200 of the 500 jobs here are far from guaranteed.

A: And where exactly will these cuts be made, Sophie？

S: Well, most would almost certainly be in the manufacturing division. This is an area Vie Vitale wants to get out of completely. And if this happens, then it would have serious consequences for jobs in distribution. However, the company wants to focus on its product development, so there's unlikely to be any losses there. At least, that's what the company's saying this morning.

A: So very little good news there. But why should the company suddenly find itself in such a difficult position？

S: Well, the health and beauty retail sector is still as fashionable as ever and has attracted a lot of new companies to the market. The sad truth is, though, that these new companies now have equally good if not better ideas at the same kind of price. And I think this is the fundamental problem. And last year, La Face, the French manufacturer, brought out a new range again, very similar types of products, very similar sorts of ideas.

A: So how well are La Face doing？

S: Well, actually, they haven't been doing that well either. In fact, only last week they announced they're no longer going to focus on their own retail outlets, but rather on the mail order side of the business instead. They're also considering selling through department stores, but nothing's been confirmed yet. So Vie Vitale isn't alone in feeling incredible pressure.

A: Well, it sounds like the problem they're all having is that it's getting quite crowded. So what does all this mean for Vie Vitale's share price？

S: Well, if we look at the share price over the last year, you can see that although it started high at the beginning of the year and looked steady in the first six months, there's been a huge drop since then, reaching its lowest point last week where the City really lost confidence in what they were doing.

A: Right. Now, Vie Vitale's corporate image used to be unique, didn't it？ So how are they planning to establish themselves as the market leader once more？

S: Well, Alex, they're not giving away too many details just yet, but it seems they're intending to refresh up their shops and update their corporate look. You know, all their packaging. There's certainly no news of any new product lines or any change in their basic values.

A: But what about the number of shops？ Any change there, Sophie？

S: Well, in fact, what they're doing is buying franchises back. They feel that if they're in control of their shops, they're in control of their corporate image. We've heard nothing about shop closures.

A: So how many of their shops do they now own？

S: Well, they started the process a few months ago and they've now regained control of all their French outlets, and they should have ownership of all their German shops by early next year. As there are more outlets in the UK, it'll take a bit longer here. I think the name of the game is definitely going to be control.

You will hear a report about Vie Vitale, a manufacturer of health and beauty products.

You have to complete the sentences 23--30 by choosing the correct answer.

Mark one letter A, B or C.

How many jobs are likely to be lost at Vie Vitale？

A．200.

B．300.

C．500.

回答下列各题： A)Are you at a loss for creative book report ideas for your students？If

yes．then this article will help you make reading and reviewing books more creative for your class．In an age of PSPs，Xbox，anime and gaming arcades，reading has lost its foothold in the list of hobbies that children tend to cite． Most of the reading that kids do today,comes in the form. of compulsory books that they need to read for school and maybe that is the reason they find reading to be an insurmountable and boring task．If you want to inculcate the love for languages and literary masterpieces in your students and want them to devour books everyone should read，then a good way of going about the same would be to get them to start working on creative book report ideas．While working on creative ideas for book reports，your students will have to understand the book in a way that allows them to come up with new ways to present to the class，the essence of the book． B)As a teachel while egging your students to activate their creative gray cells．you will have to help them out with basic ideas that they can work on．Depending on the age bracket that your students belong to，the creative book report ideas will vary．This is so，not just because of the varying attention spans that children of various age groups posses but also because of the amount of work that kids can put into the report．While a middle school student wiIl be comfortable handling a handy cam，a student from elementary school will be more fascinated if he is working with paints and puppets．So do you want to know how to write a book report creatively？In this article．we will list out for you，a couple of good creative book report ideas for elementary students and for middle school students． C)A book report sandwich is a good creative idea for book reports．As a teacher you can get drawings of a sandwich on sheets of Paper that are of the color of the ingredients of your sandwich，for example，a cream sheet of paper to resemble mayonnaise，red to represent tomato and likewise．Ob． viously,each ingredient should be cut in a way that when assembled together,it looks like a sandwich．Now,give each of your students one of these book sandwiches to create their book report． It can start with the name of the book and the author’s name on the top slice of the sandwich．The second ingredient can have the summary of the book on it．Each subsequent ingredient can have a description of the main characters，the setting of the book，the plot，and then his or her views about the book．Once they are done with their book reports，they can staple the book sandwich together and then，you can create a class bulletin board with all the book report sandwiches on display． D)One of the good techniques to retell a story,it is also one of the favorite creative book report ideas among students．The job that the student will have is to read the book and then pick a few objects at his／her home which will allow him／her to retell the story in a way that makes it interesting for his／ her audience．Every time he／she picks out an object from the bag to report the book he／she has read， there has to be a valid connection between the book and the object，which the student can first ask the audience to guess and then go ahead and explain it．This idea is spin—off on the normal show and tells and allows for an interactive book report session． E)This is one of the creative ideas for book reports in which．as the teacher, you will have to divideyour class into groups and give them one book each．The students can then read the book and get together and write a play and act it out for the class．To give a deeper insight into the book，one of the students can play the role of the author and as a group，the students can try and recreate the thought Drocess of the author．The student playing the role of the author can then interrupt the play at lmportant iunctllres and talk about the reasons for these twists in the play and how he／she came up with these plot lines． F)As a voung adult，your student’s fascination may go beyond the immediate concerns of the book． He／she may want to understand the circumstances in which the book was written，the times then，the events happening in the world and get the author’s perspective about the book．Encourage your students to mink on those lines．Divide the class into pairs and give each pair one book to read．Let them then do the roles of the author and a journalist．You can have an interview session in front of the class．enabling them to dissect the book and get a peek into the author’s world． G)In a technology—obsessed world，it maybe a very tiny minority of your class that does not get excited with the Drospect of shooting a film．One of the best creative book report ideas for middle school， you will need to divide the class into groups and give them at least two months to adapt the book that thev have been assigned，into a film．The movie should have a well—adapted screenplay,and allother prerequisites，like a lighting engineer,sound engineer, costume designer,etc．At the end of the given time，the film can be screened in front of the class and then discussed． H)If you are on the lookout for good individual creative book report ideas，then this one could be for you．Assign every student a book and then ask them to start maintaining a diary,from the author’sDoint of vie w．Ask them to come up with imaginary incidents from the author’s life and use historical events to explain why the author wrote the book in a certain manner．Alternately, you can also ask your students to give a surrogate ending to the story． I)These are just few of the options that you could use to inspire your students to come up with creative book report ideas．As kids we tend to be more imaginative and creative .Encourage your students to mink om of the box and appreciate them for their efforts．This will help you have a class that is not only lively and inquisitive by nature but also a class that will cultivate a love for words． Teachers can create a class bulletin board to

I'm very honoured to host the dinner for you all tonight.

We really appreciate Mr. Smith's effort in coming to Tianjin to talk about the feasibility of a joint venture. We look forward to the success of our mutual collaboration.

I hope that Mr. Gao and our other Chinese friends will be able to visit our country in the future, so that we will have the chance to be host and return some of your kindness.

Quite apart from business contracts, these meetings will surely help enhance the understanding and friendship between us. Well begun is half done, as we say. I hope this visit will pave for further business relations between our two countries.

In closing, I would like to invite you to join me in a toast to the trade and friendship between us, to the health of Mr. Gao, to the health of our Chinese friends, to the health of my colleagues! Cheers.
