Where would modern be without advertising? Individual advertisers might think they are just trying to sell a particular product but advertising as whole sells us an entire lifestyle.

56. Read the following passage. Choose the letter that contains the correct ideas to complete the statements below. Teotihuac5n is the largest and most impressive urban archaeological site of ancient America, covering an area of roughly 20 square kilometers. The city was at one time thought to be the religious center of the Toltecs but is now believed to be a creation of an earlier civilization about whose origins little is known.
The earliest artifacts from Teotihuacdrn date from over 2,000 years ago, but the period of greatest expansion dates from 200 CE to 500 CE. At its peak the city is estimated to have had a population of up to 200,000 inhabitants, with residential areas extending throughout the built-up area. Judging by regionally dispersed finds of the image of the rain god Tlaloc, of "thin orange wea/' pottery, and of the characteristic architectural forms, the influence of TeotihuacSn was widespread. It is not clear what caused the city's decline and eventual abandonment, but the evidence points to overpopulation, a depletion of resources, and the possible sacking by adversaries.
The primary axis of the city was the Avenue of the Dead, which extends for 2.5 kilometers through the center of the urban area, starting in the north at the Moon Plaza and continuing beyond the Great Compound complexes to the south. The avenue divided Teotihuacan into two sections with apartment compounds arranged on either side, often symmetrically, suggesting a highly planned
layout from the earliest phases of construction.
The vast Pyramid of the Sun, located in the middle of the central zone, is the tallest and most dominant structure of Teotihuacan, with a height of 65 meters and a base covering aproximately 10 acres. At one time the edifice was surmounted by a temple. A cave located underneath the pyramid and possibly used for ritual activities hints at its religious importance. The pyramids of the Moon and Feathered Serpent are other notable ceremonial sites nearby.
A particular feature of the architecture of many of the pyramidal platforms at this site is the series of sloping apron walls, known as taluds, interspersed with vertical panels-tableros-producing a step-like appearance. Originally all such structures would have been covered with a layer of stucco and then painted, often with pictures of animals and mythological creatures.

57. Read the article. Use the information to choose the option that contains true statements. In the words of most scientists, climate change works something like this: humans burn fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. As a result, the atmosphere becomes thicker and traps more of the sun’s energy. Consequently, the Earth gets warmer, and various environmental problems result. If one accepts this explanation, then the problem of climate change begins with the use of fossil fuels. Supporters of not using fossil fuels say it would bring both environmental and economic benefits. If cars used less fuel, people would save money by not having to go to the gas station as often. Furthermore, cars would emit less carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Currently, 6% of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere comes from cars in the United States. Supporters say this number could easily be reduced to 4%. Currently, the average car in the U.S. gets 27 miles per gallon of gas. Twenty years ago, it was only 17 miles per gallon. Now, the technology exists for cars to get 36 or more miles per gallon. Other people are not so sure. Some people say there is no evidence that carbon dioxide causes climate change. They also argue such rules could seriously harm U.S. carmakers and make cars too expensive for the average person. According to General Motors Vice Chairman Bob Lutz, following these rules would cost $5,000 to $7,000 more per car. Environmentalists are quick to disagree with Lutz’s opinion. “Everyone has to adapt to climate change,” says Marie Lefferts of Earth First, an organization that studies climate change. “That includes the car companies.” a. Most scientists think the origin of climate change is warmer temperatures in the ocean. Scientists know that carbon dioxide comes from the burning of fossil fuels. Today most cars in the U.S. get 36 miles per gallon. b. Most scientists think the origin of climate change is humans’ use of fossil fuels. Scientists know that carbon dioxide comes from the burning of fossil fuels. Today most cars in the U.S. get 27 miles per gallon. c. Most scientists think the origin of climate change is warmer temperatures in the ocean. Scientists know that carbon dioxide leads to cooler temperatures. Today most cars in the U.S. get 36 miles per gallon.
