选项
答案What would a world be like without advertising? You might think it would be an absolute joy to experience. You might feel as free as a bird because you would no longer be the target of an advertising campaign. Just think of all the things you could do. You would be able to sit untroubled in front of your television evening after evening watching your favorite programs without a single commercial break. You would never have to resort to your remote control to turn off the sound during commercials. You would never find your mailbox stuffed with boring flyers using all sorts of persuasive techniques to convince you to buy things you do not need. In a word, you would no longer feel vulnerable to lies and false claims. On the other hand, when you are enjoying a magazine there would be no colorful pull-out sections to appeal to your senses. When you walk down a busy street, there would be no billboards attracting your attention and promising you all kinds of wonderful things. Everything would seem dull and uninteresting. Names such as Vidal Sassoon, Pantene Pro-V or Intel Inside wouldn’t be so familiar to you. Gone would be all those tasty free samples. Suddenly you would have to pay for all the TV and radio programs you enjoy now. Suddenly all those free magazines on the Internet would cost money. Suddenly free services would no longer be free. Your hotmail address would cost a fortune. You would go to a shopping mall only to discover that there is no information anywhere and none of the salesgirls know any brand names. In the final analysis, would life really be that much more convenient if you were freed from the world of advertising? Perhaps not.
解析     作者在文章开头提出了一个假想的，没有任何广告干扰的世界。并且十分理想化地设想了突然之间没有广告的世界和生活的美好，也许还真很诱惑人呢。但作者的真正意图是截然相反于开头的 表态的。
    然后，作者依次把没有广告的生活又从另一个角度描述了一番，这时候提到的影响，相形之下比开头的影响重要得多了，也更加引人思考了：
    首先，没有了丰富多彩的周围环境。其次，也没有了各种免费的实惠，也许什么东西都要付费，非常麻烦。
    两段论述充满了丰富的想象力，表明了作者反对排斥广告的鲜明立场。有时候人们只强调眼前的一些小麻烦而忽略了更重要的东西，目光短浅，所以作者的分析和提示非常有分量，很有说服力。
    最后，作者明确了自己的观点，反驳了认为广告弊大于利的观点。
    全文观点明确，结构分明，语言流畅，句式多样化。
