英语小测验:The future of advertising 广告产业的未来

时间:2017-06-20 10:08:00  
来源:网络  作者:平和英语村

 现代社会中,广告信息随处可见,这一产业的未来会有哪些改变?我们是否会迎来这样的一天:当人们走在城市的街道上时,一抬头就能看到映射在天空中高达200米的广告影像?跟随《随身英语》探讨并展望这项可能彻底改变人与广告间关系的新科技。

 

课文内容

Vocabulary: Advertising 词汇: 广告业

Imagine a future where our streets are filled with ads 200m tall; where billboards change before our eyes to give us personalised messages; and where companies track our every move as we walk through a city, pinging our phones with special offers as we near their shops.

In fact, all of these forms of advertising are already being tested. Let's take the first of these ideas. Back in 1982, science fiction movie Blade Runner envisaged a futuristic cityscape where giant adverts stretched the full height of skyscrapers. And UK company Lightvert are now doing something very similar; with one crucial difference.

Instead of making immense physical adverts, their commercials are beamed straight into consumers' eyes. They do this by attaching a strip of reflective material onto a building and projecting an image onto it. This image then 'bounces' out into the world. When you pass directly in front of the image, you see it. It appears to be huge and suspended in mid-air, but others can't see it – it's only visible from one location. Lightvert claims this form of advertising is unobstrusive and can "unlock" large amounts of "high-value advertising real-estate".

But not everyone is sold on the idea of living in a world of endless ads. In Moscow, for example, a new form of advertising targeting motorists has split opinion. Drivers approaching a particular digital billboard in the city are shown adverts for a new kind of Jaguar car, but only if you are driving a different make of vehicle. Sensors in the billboard detect what kind of car you are driving, and send you an ad based on that information.

While this may seem invasive, it's actually the saftey aspect that has concerned some observers. Researchers in Sweden have shown that digital billboards attract our eyes for longer than other kinds. In fact, they distract us for over two seconds, a length of time which studies have proved to be dangerous on the roads.

Finally, we have "proximity marketing", where shops detect where you are on the high street and send tailored adverts to your phone. Devicescape is one company trialling the use of Wi-Fi as a means of tracking customers. Their technology could work anywhere, whether in "a supermarket, a concert hall, or a bus," says Owen Geddes from their marketing team. What would customers see? "It could be a discount offer to use in the shop the person is visiting, or a piece of content such as a movie trailer," says Mr Geddes.

答案

1. 阅读课文并回答问题。

1. True or false: If you are looking at a Lightvert ad, someone standing a few metres away will definitely also see it.
False. Lightvert's ads are projections – not giant projections onto a wall, but tiny projections into people's eyes. If you don't stand in exactly the right place, you won't see the ad.

2. According to this article, if you were driving a Jaguar car on the Moscow road, would you be shown a Jaguar ad?
If you were driving a Jaguar, you would not see an ad for a Jaguar. Only drivers of other makes of vehicles see Jaguar ads.

3. Why are some people concerned about digital billboard advertising?
Some are concerned because when used on a roadside, digital billboard advertising can be dangerously distracting.

4.Which word means 'very tall buildings'?
Skyscrapers.

5. How does Devicescape follow potential customers?
Devicescape's technology follows the Wi-Fi signal on customers' mobile phones.

2. 请你在不参考课文的情况下完成下列练习。选择一个意思合适的单词填入句子的空格处 

1. I think that companies following me and sending me ads wherever I go is really invasive. I really don't like it.

2. Sorry, I'm not sold on your proposal. Work on it and come back to me in a week.

3. The plane started to descend as it neared its destination.

4. The strength of your Wi-Fi signal depends on your proximity to the router.

5. We tailor our treatment for each customer. Everyone gets a highly personal experience.
