22、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、Passage 1(总题数：1，分数：5.00)When we think of Hollywooda term I use loosely to describe American movie production in general, not simply films made in Los Angeles we think of films aimed at musing audiences and making money for producers.During the early years of the new century, a
23、s workers won their demands for higher wages and a shorter working week, leisure assumed an increasingly important role in everyday life. Amusement parks, professional baseball games, nickelodeons, and dance halls attracted a wide army of men and woman anxious to spend their hard-earned dollars in t
24、he pursuit of fun and relaxation. Yet of all these new cultural endeavours, films were the most important and widely attended source of amusement. For a mere five or ten cents, even the poorest worker could afford to take himself and his family to the local nickelodeon or storefront theatre “Every l
25、ittle town that has never been able to afford and maintain an opera house,“ observed one journalist in 1908,“now boasts one or two Bijou Dreams “By 1910 the appeal of films was so great that nearly one-third of the nation flocked to the cinema each week; ten years later, weekly attendance equaled 50
26、 percent of the nations population.Early films were primarily aimed at entertaining audiences, but entertainment did not always come in the form of escapist fantasies. Many of the issues that dominated Progressive-era politics were also portrayed on the screen. “Between 1900 and 1917,“ observes Kevi
27、n Brownlow, “literally thousands of films dealt with the most pressing problems of the day white slavery, political corruption, gangsterism, loansharking, slum landlords, capital vs labour, racial prejudice, etc.“ While most of these films were produced by studios and independent cornpanies, a signi
28、ficant number were made by what we might call today “special interest groups“. As films quickly emerged as the nations most popular form of mass entertainment, they attracted the attention of a wide range of organizations that recognized the mediums enormous potential for disseminating propaganda to
29、 millions of viewers.（分数：5.00）(1).In this passage, “Hollywood“ is used to describe _.（分数：1.00）A.American movies production in generalB.films made in Los AngelesC.an area in Los Angeles, famous because many popular films have been produced thereD.film aimed at amusing audiences and making money for t
30、hem(2).It may be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：1.00）A.most of the film-goers were working peopleB.films were more interesting than professional baseball gamesC.people were eager to spend their money on amusement and relaxationD.films were the most important and widely enjoyed amusement(3).“Bi

33、function of the filmD.the early films九、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet,
34、instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and confusion Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home? No one knows what to
35、 expect.The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests in North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britains overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this
36、 year and home production has also raised.But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are over- stocked with food not only because there is
37、more food available but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it. Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home- produced varie
38、ty. And now grain prices, too, are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend. The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers.The older generations have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, f
39、armers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 percent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion to 60 percent by 1956; but repeated ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the
40、expansion program is not working very well.（分数：5.00）(1).The main purpose of the first paragraph is _.（分数：1.00）A.to show the reason of food shortageB.to explain the conflict between the surplus of food Supply and rising pricesC.to show the deteriorating living conditions of farmersD.to analyze the ma
41、rket demand for food supply(2).The main reason for this rise in food prices is that _.（分数：1.00）A.domestic food production has decreasedB.the government is providing less support for agricultureC.imported food is driving prices higherD.people are buying less imported food(3).The decrease in world foo
42、d prices was a result of _.（分数：1.00）A.a sharp fall in the purchasing power of the consumersB.a sharp fall in the cost of food productionC.the overproduction of food in the food-importing countriesD.the overproduction on the part of the main food exporting countries(4).Why didnt the governments expan
43、sion program work very well?（分数：1.00）A.Because the farmers were uncertain about the benefits of expanding production.B.Because the farmers were uncertain about the financial support the government, guaranteed.C.Because the farmers were uncertain whether foreign markets could be found for their produ
44、ct.D.Because the older generation of farmers were strongly against the program.(5).What did the future look like for Britains food production at the time of writing this article?（分数：1.00）A.The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers.B.An expansion 6f food production was at han
45、d.C.British food producers would receive more government financial support.D.It looks depressing despite government guarantees.十、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Not all decisions are alike. Nor is every decision made in the same manner. Although some actions you undertake derive their basis from newly made
46、decisions, there are other instances when decision-making does not really take place. The latter, according to Deacon and Firebaugh, may involve routine, programmed, impulsive or intuitive action. When you wake up in the morning and prepare to attend class, do you consciously make decisions about su
47、ch things as which side of your hair to comb first, how to brush your teeth, or which shoe to put on first? Probably not. Although you may have made a conscious decision about what you were going to wear to class, you probably didnt spend any time in making a decision about how to get ready to at- t
48、end class. Every individual has certain habits or routine behaviors. Although they originated from decisions made at an earlier time in your life, you no longer consciously make these decisions each time you undertake this type of action.Routine plans or actions serve a useful purpose in your daily
49、life and management. How long would it take you to get up, get ready, and walk to class if you had to make separate decisions for each action you take? You use routine plans or action resources to make new decisions.In addition to the habitual behaviors or routines you follow, you also have certain specific actions you undertake in
