But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite

17、 you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, or anything else to distract you and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. You will

18、see a procession of game shows, violence, audience-participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, Mayhem, more violence, sadism, murder, Western badmen, Western goodmen, private eyes, Gangsters, still more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commerci

19、als that stream and cajole and offend. And most of all, boredom. True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, try it.Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children

20、? Is there no room for programs to deepen the childrens understanding of children in other lands? Is there no room for a childrens news show explaining something about the world for them at their level of understanding? Is there no room for reading the great literature of the past, teaching them the

21、 great traditions of freedom? There are some fine childrens shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your conscience and see whether yon cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guard so

22、 many hours each and every day.There are many people in this great country, and you must serve all of us. You will get no argument from me if you say that, given a choice between a Western and a symphony, more people will watch the Western. I like Westerns and private eyes, toobut a steady diet for

23、the whole country is obviously not in the public interest. We all know that people would more often prefer to be entertained than stimulated or informed. But your obligations are not satisfied if you look only to popularity as a test of what to broadcast. Yon are not only in show business: you are f

24、ree to communicate ideas as well as to give relaxation. You must provide a wide range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nations whimsyou must also serve the nations needs. The people own the air. They own it as much in prime evening time as they do at si

25、x oclock in the morning. For every hour that the people give youyou own them something. I intend to see that your debt is paid with service.（分数：10.00）(1).The authors attitude toward television can best be described as _.（分数：2.00）A.sullenness at defeatB.reconciliation with the broadcastersC.righteous

26、 indignationD.determination to prevail(2).Concerning programs for children, it may be inferred that the author believes that such programs should _.（分数：2.00）A.include no cartoons at allB.include ones which provide cultureC.be presented only in the morningD.be presented without commercials(3).The sta

27、tement that “the people own the air“ implies that _.（分数：2.00）A.citizens have the right to insist on worthwhile television programsB.television should be socialized to eater to the nations whimsC.the government may build above present structuresD.the people own nothing, for air is worthless(4).It can

28、 be inferred from the passage in regard to television programming that the author believes _.（分数：2.00）A.the broadcasters are trying to do the right thing but are failingB.foreign countries are going to pattern their programs after oursC.the listeners do not necessarily know what is good for themD.si

29、x oclock in the morning is too early for a television show(5).The author believes that his tastes are _.（分数：2.00）A.better than most peoplesB.better than those of the television industryC.the same as most peopleD.better than the average childrenPassage TwoScience is a dominant theme in our culture. S

30、ince it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some acquaintance with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science

31、 as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist.This book is written for the intelligent student of lay person whose acquaintance with science is superficial; for the person who has been presented with scien

32、ce as a musty storehouse of dried facts; for the person who has been presented with science as the production of gadgets; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. The book can be used to supplement a course in any science, to accompany any course that attempts to give an

33、 understanding of the modern world, or independently of any coursesimply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader perspective on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give

34、 them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. In addition, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that are pervasive

35、 in our culture.We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people who populated it. That population has in recent years come to comprise more and more women. This increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not a unique i

36、ncident but, rather, part of the trend evident in all segments of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions. In discussing these changes and contribution, however, we are faced with a language that is implicitly sexist, one that uses male noun

37、s or pronouns in referring to unspecified individuals. To offset this built-in bias, we have adopted the policy of using plural nouns and pronouns whenever possible and, when absolutely necessary, alternating he and she. This policy is far from being ideal, but it is at least an acknowledgment of th

38、e inadequacy of our language in treating half of the human equally.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our approach is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldnt take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science

39、 as a delightful pastime than as a grim and dreary way to earn a living.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, “scientific subculture“ means _.（分数：2.00）A.cultural groups that are formed by scientistsB.people whose knowledge of science is very limitedC.the scientific communityD.people who make good

40、contribution to science(2).We need to know something about the structure and operation of science because _.（分数：2.00）A.it is not easy to understand the things that excite and frustrate scienceB.science affects almost every aspect of our lifeC.scientists live in a specific substructureD.it is easier

41、to understand general characteristics of science(3).The book mentioned in this passage is written for readers who _.（分数：2.00）A.long for deeper understanding of scienceB.are good at producing various gadgetsC.work in a storehouse of dried factsD.are interested in popular science(4).According to this

42、passage, _.（分数：2.00）A.English is a sexist languageB.only in this scientific world is the role of women increasing rapidlyC.women are making significant contributions to eliminating the inadequacy of our languageD.male nouns or pronouns should not used to refer to scientists(5).This passage most prob

43、ably is _.（分数：2.00）A.a book reviewB.the preface of a bookC.the post script of a bookD.the concluding part of a bookPassage ThreeThe age at which young children begin to make moral discriminations about harmful actions committed against themselves or others has been the focus of recent research into

44、the moral development of children. Until recently, child psychologists supported pioneer developmentalist Jean Piaget in his hypothesis that because of their immaturity, children under age seven do not take into account the intentions of a person committing accidental or deliberate harm, but rather

45、simply assign punishment for transgressions on the basis of the magnitude of the negative consequences causeD. According to Piaget, children under age seven occupy the first stage of moral development, which is characterized by moral absolutism (rules made by authorities must be obeyed) and imminent

46、 justice (if rules are broken, punishment will be meted out). Until young children mature, their moral judgments are based entirely on the effect rather than the cause of a transgression. However, in recent research, Keasey found that six-year-old children not only distinguish between accidental and

47、 intentional harm, but also judge intentional harm as naughtier, regardless of the amount of damage produced. Both of these findings seem to indicate that children, at an earlier age than Piaget claimed, advance into the second stage of moral development, moral autonomy, in which they accept social

48、rules but view them as more arbitrary than do children in the first stage.Keaseys research raises two key questions for developmental psychologists about children under age seven: do they recognize justifications for harmful actions, and do they make distinctions between harmfulacts that are preventable and those acts that have unforeseen harmful consequences? Studies indicate that justifications excusing harmful actions might include public duty, serf-defense, and provoc
