24、ction Readi(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、BPart A/B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、BPassage 1/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Id like to propose that for sixty to ninety minutes every evening right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting in America be prohibited by law.Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the result

25、s might be if such a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually communicate with one another. It is. well known that many of our problemseverything, in fact, from the generation g

26、ap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illnessare caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell each other what makes us feel disturbed. The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to

27、 know each other better, and to like each other better.On evenings when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset, or they might take a walk together (remember feet

28、?) and see the neighborhood with fresh, new eyes.With free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in a good book than in a month of typical TV programming. Educators report that the generation growing up with television can barely write an English s

29、entence, even at the college level. Writing is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.A different form of reading might also be done, as it was in the past: reading aloud. Few hobbies bring a family closer together than gathering around and li

30、stening to mother or father read a good story. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the quiet hour ends, the TV networks form our newly discovered activities.At first glance, the idea of an hour without TV seems radical. What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter? How will w

31、e spend the time? But it is not radical at all. It has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. The people who are thirty-five and older can remember childhood without television, spent partly with radiowhich at least involved the listeners imaginationbut also

32、 with reading, learning, talking, playing games, inventing new activities. It wasnt that difficult. Honest. The truth is that we had a ball.（分数：5.00）(1).The failure to talk to each other causes all of the following EXCEPT _. A.the high divorce rate. B.a real family hour. C.the generation gap. D.some

33、 forms of mental illness.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).If we turned off TV for an hour, which of the following is NOT true? A.We would not have any problems. B.There would be a higher divorce rate. C.Families could take a ride together. D.We would have a new view to neighborhood.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Accordin

34、g to the author, _. A.TV is more entertaining than good books. B.good books are as entertaining as TV. C.good books are not so entertaining as TV. D.good books are more entertaining than TV.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Because young people nowadays dont read much, _. A.they find TV very entertaining. B.they

35、 have a lot of time for other pastimes. C.they have enough time to talk to one another. D.even college students cant write very well.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The idea of an hour without TV is NOT radical because _. A.TV is very popular among people for only twenty-five years. B.TV is an electronic baby-

36、sitter. C.we might get better shows. D.radio involves the listeners imagination.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Everyone of us fives and works on a small part of the earths surface, moves in a small circle, and of these acquaintances knows only a few intimately. Of any public event tha

37、t has wide effects we see at best only a phase and an aspect. This is true that the eminent insiders, who draft treaties, make laws, and issue orders, are like those who have treaties framed on them, laws promulgated to them, orders given at them. Inevitably our opinions cover a bigger space, a long

38、er reach of time, many things, that we can directly observe. So they have to be pieced together out of what others have reported and what we can imagine. Yet even the eyewitness does not bring back a naive picture of the scene. For experience seems to show that he himself brings something to the sce

39、ne which later he takes away from it, that oftener than not what he imagines to be the account of an event is really a transfiguration of it. Few facts in consciousness seem to be merely given. Most facts in consciousness seem to be partly made. A report is the joint product of the knower and known,

40、 in which the role of the observer is always selective and usually creative. The facts we see depend on where we are placed, and the habits of our eyes.（分数：5.00）(1).The limited time and space which man occupies suggest, according to the paragraph, _. A.mans life is also insignificant. B.mans opinion

41、s can not be accurate at all. C.human observations in general are all but partial. D.man cannot have any opinion.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Experts such as the so-called insiders A.usually have unbiased opinions. B.can also be prejudiced in their judgment. C.are reliable observers. D.do not have correct i

42、nformation at all.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The word “naive“ in “a naive picture of the scene“ most likely means A.uneducated. B.immature. C.pure and reliable. D.informal.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The latter part of the paragraph suggests that individual consciousness of the phenomenal world A.is always falla

43、cious. B.is always reliable. C.expresses a fusion of the subjective and the objective realities. D.shows a perfect reflection of what the world is.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).By “selective“ and “creative“, the author means that the observer of an event A.collects preferred materials in order to create. B.s

44、elects with the intention to create new ideas. C.selects and creates unconsciously and simultaneously. D.selects and creates objects deliberately.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.十、BPassage 3/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food list appeared with the

45、 label: “Store in the refrigerator.“In my fridgeless fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthy. The milkman came every day, the grocer, the butcher (肉商), the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times each week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus (剩余) bread and

46、 milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. Many well-tried techniques already existednatural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling.What refrigeration did promote was marketingmarketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks,
