What do you do if you're stranded(处于困境的)on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.

  Body signals(信号)

  Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯曲)your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.

  Smoke signals

  The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

  Ground-to-air signals

  It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:

  F "I need food and water."

  II "I need medicine."

  I "I am badly hurt."

  X" I am unable to move from here."

  Pilots' replies

  If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)

However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?

小题1: Which picture means "it's not safe land"?

 

小题2: What can we learn from the passage?

A.Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".

B.If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.

C.If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".

D.The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.  小题3: What is the passage mainly about?

A.The explanation of building signals on an island.

B.The importance of making signals on an island.

C.Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.

D.Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island

答案

小题1:D

小题1:C

小题1:C

小题1:细节题。关键在定位。从选项的图像来看全部是人在做什么什么动作,所以可以推测出答案在body signals这一段找。再通过小技巧-中文出现部分设题概率高,快速看到body signals部分的中文bend(弯曲),"弯曲"存在的这一句是if you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, 而题目要求是"it's not safe to land",所以可以推出答案在下一句中找"if you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side."所以答案选D。

小题1:细节题。定位找答案。A选项swinging your arm可看出还是body signals 处找答案。第二排出现:when you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes."对比选项,选项中说"from side to side"从一边到另一边,而up and down 指的是上上下下,所以A选项不对。B选项出现关键词"light smoke"所以可以知道答案在smoke signals中找,在本段倒数第二句"if the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily."所以B选项属于相反选项设计。C选项的关键词是"II",文中表示"I need medicine."所以C选项为正确答案。D选项关键词"pilots make replies"所以答案在pilots' replies出找,本段最后一句话:at night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.所以D也不对。

小题1:主旨题。A为在岛屿上建筑标志的解释,为无关选项。B所在岛上做标记的重要性,也是无关选项。C说在孤岛上发送信号的方式。D是从孤岛上接受信号的方式。某种意义上说C,D是完全相反选项。答案是C.文中叙述的都是如何通知Pilots自己在孤岛上。

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.  Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the   50  .

Some are the   51   ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct   52   about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how   53   if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising,   54  , you can print your products on T-shirts of your   55  . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more   56  .

More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to   57   a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask   58   about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re   59   effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public   60   that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance.

61   , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.

Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t   62   the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.

Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your   63  . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the   64  is based on previous positive experiences.
