17、，分数：0.00)三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made. Television, although not essential, has become an import

18、ant part of most people“s lives. It alters people“s ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains (维持) modem life. Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in on

19、e day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate (提高) people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists. The primary reason for the lack of quality in America

20、n television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economies of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became

21、 the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the l

22、argest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging. Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further develop

23、ment and tree achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, American television is poor in quality because _.（分数：2.00）A.advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideasB.it is still at an early stage of development, c

24、ompared with the radioC.the programs have to be developed in the interests of the sponsors for economic reasonsD.it is controlled by radio companies(2).The second paragraph is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.TV as the sustainer of American lifeB.TV as the major transmitter of cultureC.the educational effe

25、ct of TV on societyD.the strong influence and the poor quality of American TV(3).In the author“s view American TV should _.（分数：2.00）A.be critical but entertainingB.be creative and educationalC.change with the development of societyD.attract as many viewers as possible(4).The author believes that tel

26、evision in the United States has become important to most people because _.（分数：2.00）A.it promotes family unityB.it helps them develop their speaking abilityC.it affects their life in many waysD.it challenges society(5).The author“s attitude towards American television is _.（分数：2.00）A.criticalB.prais

27、ingC.doubtfulD.sympathetic四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The three biggest lies in America are: 1) “The check is in the mail“, 2) “Of course I“ll respond you in the morning“, and 3) “It was a computer error.“ Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It“s the only one that can never be

28、 true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say, “It was a computer error.“ Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it. The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery stor

29、e shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a computer error. It wasn“t, of course. That computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electri

30、c eye. The eye reads the Universal Product Codethat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the packageand then cheeks the code against a price list stored m memory. If the price list is right, you“ll be charged accurately. Grocery stores update the price list each daythat is, somebody sits at a

31、 keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error“ is supposed to excuse everything. One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern comput

32、ers are “electric brain“ With “artificial intelligence“. At some point there might be a machine with intelligence, but none exists today. The smartest computer on earth right now is no more “intelligent“ than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine

33、 can do is what a human has instructed it to do.（分数：10.00）(1).Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself _.（分数：2.00）A.says nonsenseB.cheats customersC.cannot make the errorD.does not admit its error(2).According to the author, a computerized cashier is really

34、just _.（分数：2.00）A.a machine to count moneyB.a machine to receive moneyC.an instrument to print codesD.an instrument to read codes(3).Grocery store price lists are updated by _.（分数：2.00）A.a computerB.a keyboardC.an employeeD.an electric brain(4).The last paragraph of the passage implies that computer

35、s _.（分数：2.00）A.are very cleverB.never make mistakesC.have a good memoryD.are controlled by men(5).Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Computers are stupid and inefficient.B.Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C.Computers help stores update the price list.D.

36、Computer errors are actually human errors.五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children“s language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in-the chi

37、ldren“s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child“s language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acte

38、d as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The p

39、arents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the chi

40、ldren in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following can be

41、 inferred from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.C.Active children should read more and be given more attention.D.Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.(2).What does “ It “ in line 2 can

42、 most probably be replaced by?（分数：2.00）A.Parents“ increasing children“s language development.B.Reading techniques being simple.C.Parents“ reading to children.D.Children“s intelligence development.(3).According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?（分数

43、：2.00）A.Do you see the elephant?B.Is the elephant in the cage?C.What animals do you like?D.Shall we go to the zoo?(4).The difference between the control group and the experimental group was _.（分数：2.00）A.the training that parents receivedB.the age of the childrenC.the books that were readD.the number

44、 of the children(5).The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that _.（分数：2.00）A.parents should be trained to read to their childrenB.the more children read, the more intelligent they will becomeC.children“s language skills increase when they are required to respond activelyD.children who r

45、ead actively seem six months old六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable. At an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. Even tho

46、ugh we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast. Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe the society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on t

47、he natural environment and the continuing increase in the world“s population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease. People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are

48、still many poor people in the world. These proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural sur

49、roundings from industrialization. This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these prob
