【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。
