A novel can be on the “best sellers“ list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 copies, but

8、 a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight.This is the principle behind “quiz“ or “game“ shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prize and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of

9、dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the US and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a telev

10、ision personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the shows producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didnt like the person who won the game, they turned the

11、 show off. Based on his story, a movie under the title “Quiz Show“ is on 40 years later.Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they arent taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers

12、 on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.（分数：7.00）(1

It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label: “store in the refrigerator.“In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the

17、grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fres

18、h vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast variety of well-tried techniques already existed-natural cooling, drying, smoking, slating, sugaring, bottling.What refrigeration did promote was m

19、arketing-marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.Consequently, most of the worlds fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatu

20、res where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of f-ridges hum away continuously, and at vast expanse, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house-while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.The fridges eff

21、ect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you dont believe me, try it yourself.

I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot,

26、 feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.I felt tense and nervous. It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead,

27、 that I was about to declare myself. One morning I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.The fist notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest. Then they settled down and began to ru

28、n more smoothly and to stay more or less in turn. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man, without stopping, surreptitiously tossed a penny into my hat as though getting out of some guilty evidence.I worked the streets of Sout

29、hampton for several days, gradually acquiring the truths of the trade by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with moneythe sightcould discourage the patron. Nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where

30、 to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular ritual, making sure between tunes, to hide most of the earnings, but always leaving two pennies behind.Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shopgirls, typists and barm

31、aids. As for the man, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But never a man with a gentlemans hat, briefcase or dog. Respectable types were the meanest of all. Except for retired army officers, who Would yell “Why arent you working, young man?“ and then toss

32、 some money into the hat to hide their confusion.（分数：15.00）(1).How long did the author wander about in the streets before he stopped under a bridge?（分数：3.00）A.A day.B.An hour.C.All morning.D.All afternoon.(2).The first time the author played the violin in the street, he expected（分数：3.00）A.he would b

33、ecame a great musicianB.he would get into troubleC.people would be happy to give him moneyD.people would stop and listen(3).The first person who gave him money（分数：3.00）A.was an old ladyB.stopped and listened for a whileC.dropped the money by mistakesD.didnt want to be noticed(4).According to the aut

34、hor, what is the best way to encourage people to give a street violinist money?（分数：3.00）A.To wear an attractive hat.B.To fill up the hat with money.C.To leave a couple of pennies in the hat.D.To empty the hat completely.(5).The retired army officers gave him money（分数：3.00）A.to show they were most ge

35、nerousB.to show they were most respectableC.to hide their confusionD.to show they were rich六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Some Things We Know about LanguageMany things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some thingswe do know.First, we know that all human beings have a language o

36、f some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.Second, there is no such thing as a primitive

37、language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.This has not always been well understood; indee

38、d, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian lan

39、guages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, e

40、ach one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change

41、goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.（分数：15.00）(1).In the second paragraph the author thinks that _.（分数：3.00）A.some b

42、ackward race doesnt have a language of its ownB.some race in history didnt possess a language of its ownC.any human race, whether backward or not, has a languageD.some races on earth can communicate without language(2).According to the author, people of underdeveloped cultures can have_ language.（分数

43、：3.00）A.complicatedB.uncivilizedC.primitiveD.well-known(3).The author has used American Indian language as an example to show that they are _.（分数：3.00）A.just as old as some well-known languagesB.just as advanced as some well-known languagesC.more developed than some well-known languageD.more complex

44、 than some well-known language(4).Which of the following statement is INCORRECT?（分数：3.00）A.Language is a means of expressing a particular culture.B.All languages can well express their respective Cultures.C.Some primitive languages can also express their cultures.D.Some primitive languages are bette

45、r than other languages.(5).According to the author language changes are most likely to occur in _.（分数：3.00）A.grammarB.pronunciationC.vocabularyD.intonation七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Inspecting a Used CarThe scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition its in. A car tha

46、ts been in a major accident is always a bigger risk, but sellers often try to hide this information. Andrew Blealdey, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in Montreal. For about $ 80 be will perform a full, unbiased inspection on a used vehicle. In his 10 years as a professi

47、onal inspector, Bleakley has seen a lot. He warns “Watch out for dealer demonstration vehicles which are used not new. They may have been in a collision.“ He adds that it is not uncommon in Ontario and Quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to roll back the odometer or to even disengage it. Blea

48、kiey has special tools to check for this.Bleakley always recommends hiring all independent technician to inspect the condition of a used car before you buy it. The problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection. Which he says generally doesnt mean just any mechanic. A thorough mechanical

49、inspection includes checking the compression, all major systems, including the engine, electrical and charging systems, transmission and drive line, fluids, brakes, suspension, and steering. Essential, too, is all inspection of the cars body and finally a road test. There are, however, a few things everyone c
