The business of advertising is to
invent methods of addressing massive audiences in an effective way. The language
used in an ad should be easily accessible and immediately{{U}} (26)
{{/U}}. No advertising agency wants to put{{U}} (27) {{/U}}an ad
that is neither clear nor convincing. But these agencies disagree when it{{U}}
(28) {{/U}}to the most effective methods of doing so.{{U}} (29)
{{/U}}the years, advertising firms have developed a variety of distinctive
styles{{U}} (30) {{/U}}on their understanding of the different kinds of
audiences they want to{{U}} (31) {{/U}}. No two agencies would handle
the same product{{U}} (33) {{/U}}. For the advertisers, advertising
is{{U}} (32) {{/U}}more than a sophisticated sales pitch, an attractive
verbal and{{U}} (34) {{/U}}device to serve manufacturers. In{{U}}
(35) {{/U}}, ads often{{U}} (36) {{/U}}their products, and in
the{{U}} (37) {{/U}}of early ads for products that are no longer
available, we cannot help{{U}} (38) {{/U}}consider the advertisement
independently of our responses{{U}} (39) {{/U}}those products.
Therefore, some people suggest we should examine ads apart{{U}} (40)

product only{{U}} (42) {{/U}}it is talked about and portrayed in the

【答案解析】本题考查的是动词的辨析。reach表示“达到”,也可以表示“使……听到,使……看待”,例如:The sales campaign reached a target audience of 12,000 women.“促销活动以女性为对象,涉及到1.2万人。”face“面对”;touch“触摸”;interview“面试”。而广告商肯定是要观众看到或听到广告的,因此空白处填入reach最为合适。所以本题的正确答案是A项。
【答案解析】本题考查的是对文章的理解以及短语的搭配。上文提到“广告的影响比产品本身要久”,本句就在举例用早期广告说明这种观点。首先我们可以排除“in point of”,因为没有这种搭配。接着,由于association应该与with而不是of搭配,所以我们可以排除B。“in term or”表示“在……方面”;“in the case of”表示“在……的情况下”。联系本句的意义,可知D项为正确答案。
