[单项选择] Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
The poor old consumer! We’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc, from an advertisement.

[单项选择]Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
The increase in global trade means that international companies cannot afford to make costly advertising mistakes if they want to be competitive. Understanding the language and culture of target markets in foreign countries is one of the keys to successful international marketing. Too many companies, however, have jumped into foreign markets with embarrassing results. Translation mistakes are at the heart of many blunders in international advertising.
General Motors, the US auto manufacturer, got a costly lesson when it introduced its Chevrolet Nova to the Puerto Rican market. "Nova" is Latin for "new (star)" and means "star" in many languages, but in spoken Spanish it can sound like "nova", meaning "it doesn’t go". Few people wanted to buy a car with that cursed meaning. When GM changed the name to Caribe, sales picked up dramatically.

[填空题]Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
According to the latest OECD Migration Outlook, America received 1,107,000 permanent immigrants in 2008. About 73% of them came for family re-unification, which often means they are unskilled. About 15% came as refugees, and only 7% were labour migrants, meaning they came for work. There were also 340,700 temporary migrants who came on student visas. So much family and refugee migration makes sense for humanitarian reasons, but does it make sense economically The American economy would benefit from more skilled workers, so why do they make up such a small fraction of migrant flows
