15、1(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus windo
16、w. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. “ Drink Root Beer.“ “Fill up with Pacific Gas.“ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now !“The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you ve traveled t
17、hat way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. (76) The bus driver has a style of driving and it s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense st
18、ory. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? Alter a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you ve got to be careful of what
19、 kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. (77)By now y
20、ou ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrestseven with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time.

Life was hard for both passengers and crew. (78)17th century sailing s
25、hips were small and rolled heavily in rough seas, so most of the passengers were seasick.There were no toilets, and the spaces below deck where passengers had to stay during gales were often not more than 5 foot high. Water was scarce and the little water they got was brown and smelt terrible.Food w
26、as a problem, too-there was only salted meat, ship s biscuits and cheese, but the cheese was so hard that sailors often made buttons out of it for their jackets and trousers. There were no vegetables or fruit, so the people on board often fell ill.The sailors, however, were a bit better off than the
27、 passengers. They each had a bottle of beer a day, and they needed. The work they had to do was hard and dangerous. (79) Courage was needed, for the heavy sails had to be set and taken down in all kinds of weather, and quite often sailors were swept overboard in a gale. Almost the worst thing about
28、the voyages was the time they took up to 70 days for the journey across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, everybody was overjoyed when they at last approached land and stepped ashore. But some ships never arrived.（分数：5.00）(1).In the 17th century _（分数：1.00）A.life on old sailing ships was enjoyableB.peo
29、ple enjoyed sailing old ships in rough seasC.most of the passengers felt comfortable when the ship was rollingD.it was very painful for both passengers and crew during the voyage(2).The passengers _ when the ship was heavily rolling.（分数：1.00）A.slept wellB.could drink a lot of waterC.had to stay belo

There are a
33、lmost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the co
34、untry. However, the Post and the Times are net national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or LeMonde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselve
35、s to state or cite news.Like the press .in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational“, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as
36、 give information, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. (80)A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attemp
37、t to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irres
38、ponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.（分数：5.00）(1).
