25、 Industrial Revolution. They 【B1】 that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the 【B2】 man.

29、commentators were able to be effective on television. Some of the difficulties they experienced when were trying to 【B1】 themselves to the new medium were technical.

30、t the commentator has to be very good at talking. Above all, he has to be able to 【B4】 a continuous sequence of visual images which 【B5】 meaning to the sounds which the listener hears. In the 【B6】 of television, however, the commentator sees everything with the viewer. His role, therefore, is comple

31、tely different. He is there to make 【B7】 that the viewer does not miss some point of interest, to help him focus on particular things, and to 【B8】 the images on the television screen. Unlike his radio colleague, he must know the 【B9】 of silence and how to use it at those moments 【B10】 the pictures s

His hunt was going 【31】 that day, and he couldnt seem to find anything worthy of 【32】 his rifle. Then, his staff captured a black baby bear f

34、or the President to shoot, but he could not. The thought of shooting a bear that was tied to a tree did not seem sporting, so he 【33】 the life of the baby bear and set it free. Based on this story, a famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star drew a cartoon, which showed Teddy Roosevelt, ri

35、fle 【34】 . with his back turned on a cute (可爱的) baby bear. Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, was 【35】 by the cartoon to make a stuffed baby bear. Intending it only as a display, he placed the stuffed bear in his toy store 【36】 , and next to it placed a copy of the cartoon from the newsp

36、aper. To Michtoms surprise, his store was flooded by customers 【37】 to buy. He asked for and received President Roosevelts 【38】 to use his name for the band-sewn bears that he and his wife made, and the “Teddy Bear“ was born! Michtom was soon manufacturing Teddy bears 【39】 the thousands. The money f

Medical authorities express their 【B1】 about the effect of smoking on t

39、he health not only 【B2】 those who smoke but also of those who do not. In fact, nonsmokers who must involuntarily inhale the air polluted by the tobacco smoke may 【B3】 more than the smokers themselves. As you are doubtless aware, a considerable number of our students have 【B4】 an effort to 【B5】 the u

40、niversity to ban smoking in the classrooms. I believe they are entirely right in their aim. 【B6】 .I would hope that it is possible to achieve this by 【B7】 on the smokers to use good judgment and show concern for others rather than 【B8】 regulation. Smoking is prohibited by city laws in theaters and i

41、n halls used for showing films as well as in laboratories 【B9】 there may be a fire hazard. Elsewhere, it is up to your good sense. I am therefore asking you to maintain “No Smoking“ in the auditoriums and classrooms. This will prove that you have to keep nonsmokers health and well-being 【B10】 . whic

He must use this surplus in three ways: as seed for sowing, as an insurance 【B3】 the unpredictable effects of bad weather and as a commodity which he must sell in order to 【B4】 old agricultural implements and obtain chemical fertilizers to

45、 【B5】 the soil. He may also need money to construct irrigation 【B6】 and improve his farm in other ways. If no surplus is available, a farmer cannot be 【B7】 . He must either sell some of his property or 【B8】 extra funds in the form of loans. Naturally he will try to borrow money at a low 【B9】 of inte

Any student, 【B4】 their ethnic and social background, is not only allowed but also encouraged to have chances for active participation in class. 【B5】. teachers often expect

49、 independent learning 【B6】 their students. It will be most appreciated if a student can 【B7】 the initiative and complete the assignment without too much 【B8】 upon his or her instructors. These two 【B9】 features in American university classrooms actually manifest the basic American values, especially self-reliance and 【B10】 of opportunity.（分数：-1.00）A.methodsB.meanC.meansD.measureA.as anB.for anC.asD.theA.varyB.deferC.differsD.diversifiedA.without regard ofB.with regard toC.regardless ofD.regardless toA.HoweverB.MoreoverC
