27、computer 【B7】 that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words“ ready for 【B8】 use. An average American teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total 【B9】 of information whic

28、h the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of facts and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.

31、y strength in numbers, labor unions have a more 【B3】 influence on wages and company policy than individual workers 【B4】 . A person may also belong to social clubs and athletic teams 【B5】 he or she can meet other people who are interested in the same activities. 【B6】 you have a hobby, such as playing

35、evision. Some of the difficulties they experienced when were trying to 【B1】 themselves to the new medium were technical. When working on radio, for example, they had become 【B2】 to seeing on behalf of the listener. This 【B3】 of seeing for others means that the commentator has to be very good at talk

36、ing. 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 completely different. He is there to make 【B7】 that

37、 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 speak for themselves. （分数：-1.00）A.turnB.adaptC

39、ntionA.ifB.whenC.whichD.asUntil recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They 【B1】 that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the 【B2】 man. But they insisted that its 【B3】 results during the period from 1740 to 1840 were wides

40、pread poverty and misery for the 【B4】 of the English population. 【B5】 contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1640 to 1740, when England was still a 【B6】 agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity. This view, 【B7】 . is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists 【

41、B8】 history and economics, have 【B9】 two things: that the period from 1640 to 1740 was 【B10】 by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace. （分数：-1.00）A.admittedB.believedC.claimedD.predictedA.plain

43、t and smallest unit that can be discussed in relation to language is the word. In speaking, the choice of words is 【B1】 the utmost importance. Proper selection will eliminate one source of 【B2】 breakdown in the communication cycle. Too often, careless use of words 【B3】 a meeting of the minds of the

44、speaker and listener. The words used by the speaker may 【B4】 unfavorable reactions in the listener 【B5】 interfere with his comprehension; hence, the transmission-reception system breaks down. 【B6】 , inaccurate or indefinite words may make 【B7】 difficult for the listener to understand the 【B8】 which

45、is being transmitted to him. The speaker who does not have specific words in his working vocabulary may be 【B9】 to explain or describe in a 【B10】 that can be understood by his listeners.（分数：-1.00）A.ofB.atC.forD.onA.inaccessibleB.timelyC.likelyD.invalidA.encouragesB.preventsC.destroysD.offersA.pass o
