Where would modern society be without advertising? Individual advertisers might think they are just trying to sell a 【B1】 ________ product but advertising as a whole sells us an entire lifestyle. If it weren’t for advertising the 【B2】 ________ of society would be quite different. The economy, for instance, would be 【B3】 ________ into a crisis without the advertisers. All the publicity that 【B4】 ________ our desire for limitless consumption would be gone.
As John Berger observed in his book " Ways of Seeing" , all advertising conveys the same simple message; my life will be richer, more【B5】 ________ once I make the next crucial purchase. Adverts persuade us with their images of others who have apparently been transformed and are, as a result,【B6】 ________ The purpose is to make us【B7】 ________ dissatisfied with our life—not with the life of society, just with our individual life. We are supposed to imagine ourselves utterly transformed after purchasing an object of envy.
The【B8】 ________ of this social envy is a necessary condition if advertising is to have any 9 on us whatsoever. Only if we have got into the habit of comparing ourselves with others and finding ourselves lacking, will we【B9】 ________ the power of advertising.
While 【B11】 ________ the flames of our envy, advertising keeps us 【B12】 ________ with ourselves, our houses, our cars, our holidays and the endless line of new electronic gadgets that suddenly seem【B13】 ________ Tensions in society and problems in the rest of the world, if attended to at all, quickly fade into the background.

Advertisers【B17】 ________ tell us to get out and do some shopping, and the idea that the shelves of the shops are full of the latest products is indeed one of the most effective ways in which contemporary society gets its 【B18】 ________.
People like John Berger are not entirely【B19】 ________ about the impact that advertising and shopping have on the value of political freedom. Freedom is supposed to be the highest value in our societies, but in this age, freedom is all too readily【B20】 ________ with the freedom to choose between Pepsi and Coke, McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken, Toyota and Ford. And people lose interest in various freedoms and participating in the process of making social progress.
【B15】
选项
A、recognized
B、admitted
C、persuaded
D、concluded
答案
C
解析
词义辨析题。选项的意思分别为[A]“辨认出”;[B]“承认”;[C]“被说服的”;[D]“得出结论”。空格所在的结构是被动语态,而且从语义上来说要表达“我们相信/被说服”这样的概念,因此答案[C]。
