四、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分)
本部分有两篇短文，每篇短文后有五个问题，每个问题有四个供选择的答案。请选择一个最佳答案。
Passage 1
Nowadays, a standard for measuring power has changed. These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power. No longer will a nation’s political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It’s often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now place more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic market of the world.
America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess(威力）over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.
The competitiveness of America’s industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society—government, industry, and education. That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry.
56. Now a nation’s political influence depends on _____.
A. the strength of its military forces B. its ability to compete industry
C. economic markets D. both A and B
57. The Soviet Union was not listed as a thirdworld nation just because of_____.
A. its powerful military forces B. its vast land
C. its industrial competitiveness D. its contributions to world peace
58. The author indicates that _____ is threatening American political power.
A. other countries
B. the declining U.S. industrial base
C. a new standard for measuring power
D. less advanced technology
59. America succeeded in shaping world events over the past 40 years probably because of _____.
A. its ability to adapt to technology
B. its ability to take advantage of the capability of its people
C. its ability to compete in the world market
D. both A and B
60. The purpose of writing this article is _____.
A. to draw the reader’s attention to a new standard for measuring power
B. to demonstrate American political influence in the world
C. to emphasize that efforts must be made to strengthen the declining U.S. industrial base
D. to show American industrial prowess
Passage 2
Television carries more national advertising than any other in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audience. In many countries—Sweden and Denmark, for example, the state-owned television, accepts no advertising. In many other countries the amount of commercial time is extremely limited, as in France, Germany, and Italy. Soviet state-owned television began accepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988.
The chief reason for the popularity of television among United States advertisers is that it reaches a vast number of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30-second commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers. For manufacturers who must make prospects aware of their products and convince them of its benefits immediately, there is nothing as efficient as television advertising.
Because it employs motion as well as words, graphics, sound, and music, television is a valuable medium for products that lend themselves to demonstration. No other medium is as effective in showing how quickly an automobile can accelerate or how well a brand of wristwatch will stand up under abuse and continue to run. Similarly, it is an ideal medium for conveying a mood or an emotional benefit for products such as long-distance telephone calls.
61. Which medium carries the most national advertising in Spain?
A. Radio. B. Newspaper.
C. Television. D. Internet.
62. State-owned television accepts ads in the following countries except _____.
A. Portugal B. Sweden
C. France D. Italy
63. To manufacturers, TV advertising is the most efficient way to promote sales because _____.
A. TV can make advertisers aware of their products
B. it can convince people of the quality of their products
C. TV covers a large audience at the same time
D. it can be seen and heard by over 25 million local viewers
64. The word “commercial ” in the 2nd paragraph means _____.
A. advertisement B. business
C. notice D. motion picture
65. The writer of this passage is _____ about the benefits of TV advertising.
A. optimistic B. unconcerned
C. enthusiastic D. positive
