14、 the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_Television has opened windows in everybodys life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general disli
15、ke of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are mo
16、re likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunately, televisions influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world: that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless.
17、 They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations“ are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience
18、to read an article without pictures: to read a book that requires thinking: to listen to a teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens programs.

They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work. Some people say men have more duties than women. A mar
23、ried man is thought to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for them to be paid more. Some are even against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by eq
24、ual pay to take full-time jobs, they will be unable to do the things they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up children. Women who disagree say they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes them to fill and to have freedom to choose between work and home life, or a

29、feIn what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early post-war era (战后时期) , there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routin
30、e tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are facing with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting (过分信任) of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or
31、that a computer may simply malfunction(失灵). Obviously, there would be no point in investing(投入) in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning a
32、nd routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days.

35、ts own problemsB.a person s store of knowledge and the ability to process itC.the most up to date in home computer a company can buyD.a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable(4).The passage suggests that the present day problem with regard to computers is_.（分数：2.00）A.challengingB.psyc
