5、SWER SHEET 1. 3 Children learn almost nothing from television, and the more they watch the less they remember. They regard television purely 26 entertainment, resent programs that 27 on them and are surprised that anybody should 28 the medium seriously. Far from being over-excited by programs, they

6、are mildly 29 with the whole thing. These are the main conclusions from a new study of children and television. The author Cardiac Cullingford 30 that the modern child is a 31 viewer. The study suggests that there is little 32 in the later hours. All 11-year-olds have watched programs after midnight

7、. Apart from the obvious waste of time 33 , it seems that all this viewing has little effect. Cullingford says that children can recall few details. They can remember exactly which programs they have seen but they can 34 explain the elements of a particular plot. Recall was in “ 35 proportion to the

8、 amount they had watched. “ It is precisely because television, 36 a teacher, demands so little attention and response 37 children like it, argues Cullingford. Programs seeking to 38 serious messages are strongly disliked. 39 people who frequently talk on screen. What children like most are the adve

9、rtisements. They see them as short programs 40 their own right and particularly enjoy humorous presentation. But again, they 41 strongly against high-pressure advertisements that attempt openly to 42 them. On the other hand, they are not 43 involved in the programs. If they admire the stars, it is b

10、ecause the actors lead glamorous lives and earn a lot of money, 44 their fictional skills with fast cars and shooting villains. They are perfectly 45 the functions of advertisements. And says Cullingford, educational television is probably least successful of all in imparting attitudes or informatio

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.

15、Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 23 The biographer has to dance between two shaky positions with respect to the subject(研究 对象 ). To close a relation, and the writer may lose objectivity. Not close enough, and the writer may lack the sympathy necessary to any effort to portray a mind, a soul the

16、quality of life. Who should write the biography of a family, for example. Because of their closeness to the subject, family members may have special information, but by the same token, they may not have the distance that would allow them to be fair. Similary, a kings servant might not be the best on

17、e to write a biography of that king. But a foreigner might not have the knowledge and sympathy necessary to write the kings biography not for a readership from within the kingdom, at any rate. There is no ideal position for such a task. The biographer has to work with the position he or she has in t

18、he world, adjusting that position as necessary to deal with the subject. Every position has strengths and weaknesses: to thrive, a writer must try to become aware of these, evaluate them in terms of the subject, and select a position accordingly. When their subjects are heroes or famous figures, bio

19、graphies often reveal a democratic motive:they attempt to show that their subjects are only human, no better than anyone else. Other biographies are meant to change us, to invite us, to become better than we are. The biographies of Jesus(耶稣 )found in the Bible are in this class. Biographers may clai

20、m that their account is the “authentic“one. In advancing this claim, they are helped if the biography is “authorized“by the subject; this presumably allows the biographer special access to private information. “Unauthorized“biographies also have their appeal, however, since they can suggest an indep

21、endence of mind in the biographer. In book promotions, the“unauthorized“characterisation usually suggests the prospect of juicy gossip that the subject had hoped to suppress. A subject might have several biographies, even sev-eral“authentic“ones. We sense intuitively that no one is in a position to

22、tell the story of a life, perhaps not even the subject, and this has been proved by the history of biography. 24 According to the author, an ideal biographer would be one who_. （ A） knows the subject very well and yet maintains a proper distance from him （ B） is close to the subject and knows the te

23、chniques of biography writing （ C） is independent and treats the subject with fairness and objectivity （ D） possesses special private information and is sympathetic toward the subject 25 The author cites the biographies of Jesus in the Bible in order to show that_. （ A） the best biographies are mean

24、t to transform their readers （ B） biographies are authentic accounts of their subjects lives （ C） the best biographies are those of heroes and famous figures （ D） biographies can serve different purposes 26 Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? （ A） An authentic biogra

25、phy seldom appeals to its readers. （ B） An authentic biography is one authorized by the subject. （ C） No one can write a perfect biography. （ D） Authorized biographies have a wider readership. 27 An unauthorised biography is likely to attract more readers because_. （ A） it portrays the subject both

26、faithfully and vividly （ B） it contains interesting information about the subjects private life （ C） it reveals a lot of accurate details unknown to outsiders （ D） it usually gives a sympathetic description of the subjects character 28 In this passage, the author focuses on_. （ A） the difficulty of

27、a biographer in finding the proper perspective to do his job （ B） the secret of a biographer to win more readers （ C） the techniques required of a biographer to write a good biography. （ D） the characteristics of different kinds of biographies 28 The United States court system, as part of the federa

28、l system of government, is characterized by dual hierarchies: there are both state and federal courts. Each state has its own system of courts, composed of civil and criminal trial courts, sometimes intermediate courts of appeal, and a state supreme court. The federal court system consists of a seri

29、es of trial courts(called district courts)serving relatively small geographic regions(There is at least one for every state), a tier of circuit courts of appeal that hear appeals from many district counts in a particular geographic region, and the Supreme Court of the United States. The two court sy

30、stems are to some extent overlapping, in that certain kinds of disputes (such as a claim that a state law is in violation of the Constitution) may be initiated in either system. They are also to some extent hierarchical, for the federal system stands above the state system in that litigants(persons

31、engaged in lawsuits )who lose their cases in the state supreme courts may appeal their cases to the Supreme Court of the United States. Thus, the typical court case begins in a trail count a court of general jurisdiction in the state or federal system. Most cases go to further than the trial court:f

32、or example, the criminal defendant is convicted (by a trial or a guilty plea)and sentenced by the court and the case ends; the personal injury suit results in a judgment by a trail court (or an out-of-court settlement by the parties while the court suit is pending)and the parties leave the court sys

33、tem. But sometimes the losing party at the trial court cares enough about the cause that the matter does not end there. In these cases, the“loser“at the trial court may appeal to the next higher court. 29 According to the passage, district courts are also known as_. （ A） circuit courts （ B） supreme

34、courts （ C） intemediate courts （ D） trial courts 30 In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the phrase“engaged in“could best be replaced by which of the following? （ A） Committed to. （ B） Involved in. （ C） Attentive to. （ D） Engrossed in. 31 The passage indicates that litigants who lose their c

35、ases in the state trial court may take them to a_. （ A） different trial court in the same state （ B） court in a different geographic region （ C） federal trial court （ D） state supreme court 32 It can be inferred from the passage that typical court cases are_. （ A） always appealed （ B） usually resolv

36、ed in the district courts （ C） always overlapping （ D） usually settled by the Supreme Court 33 Which of the following is most likely to be the subject of the paragraph following the passage? （ A） The process of an appeal. （ B） Out-of-court settlements. （ C） The State Court Structure. （ D） Sentencing
