26、个最佳选项。 30 TV Shows and Long Bus Trips Long bus rides are like televisions shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides b

27、y outside the bus window. “ Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. “Drink Good n Wet Root Beer. “Fill up with Pacific Gas. “ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!“ The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat e

28、xciting, even if you ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be

29、as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you

30、 ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the h

31、ours have passed. By now you ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit. 31 According to the passage, what do the passengers usual

32、ly see when they are on a long bus trip? （ A） Buses on the road. （ B） Films on television. （ C） Advertisements on the board. （ D） Gas stations. 32 What is the purpose of this passage? （ A） To give the writer s opinion about long bus trips. （ B） To persuade you to take a long bus trip. （ C） To show t

33、he differences between long bus trips and TV shows. （ D） To describe the billboards along the road. 33 The writer of this passage would probably favor_. （ A） bus drivers who weren t reckless （ B） driving alone （ C） a television set on the bus （ D） no billboards along the road 34 The writer feels lon

34、g bus rides are like TV shows because_. （ A） the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun （ B） they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between （ C） the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses （ D） both traveling and

35、 watching TV are not exciting 35 The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are_. （ A） exciting （ B） comfortable （ C） tiring （ D） boring 35 Communications Revolution Cyberspace, data superhighway, multi-media for those who have seen the future, the linking

36、 of computers, television and telephones will change our lives forever. Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological Utopia little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology, while the West concerns itself with the “how“ ,

37、the question of “for whom“ is put aside once again. Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy. Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries, and transnational corporati

38、ons take full advantage of it. Terms of trade, exchange and interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods. The electronic economy made possible by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets with destructive impact on the h

39、ave-nots. For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine. As “futures“ are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less co

40、ntrol of their destinies. So what are the options for regaining control? One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves so-called “development communications“ modernization. Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent con

41、straints on developing countries economies. Communications technology is generally exported from the U. S. , Europe or Japan; the patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries. It is also expensive, and imported products and services must therefore

42、be bought on credit credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain. Furthermore, when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native development. This means that while local elites, foreign communities and subsidiaries o

43、f transnational corporations may benefit, those whose lives depend on access to the information are denied by it. 36 From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of_. （ A） the world economy （ B） the rich countries （ C） the scientific development （ D） the elite

44、 37 It can be inferred from the passage that_. （ A） the interests of the poor countries have not been given enough consideration （ B） the export of the poor countries should be increased （ C） communications technology in the developing countries should be modernized （ D） international trade should b

45、e expanded 38 Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries? （ A） Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries. （ B） Because it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries. （ C） Because it enables the developed

46、countries to control the international market. （ D） Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries. 39 The development of modern communications technology in developing countries may_. （ A） force them to reduce their share of exports （ B） cost them their economic independence （ C）

47、 hinder their industrial production （ D） cause them to lose control of their trade 40 The author s attitude toward the communications revolution is_. （ A） tolerant （ B） indifferent （ C） positive （ D） critical 40 Eating Meat Less or More? Every second in the United States alone, more than 250 animals

48、 are slaughtered for food, adding up to more than 8 billion animals each year. Reducing the amount of meat in one s diet is nutritionally, environmentally , and ethically beneficial. People who eat meat usually have weaker immune systems compared to those of vegetarians. Meat has been directly linke

49、d to diabetes, obesity, arthritis, and many other illnesses. Furthermore, meat-eaters are at a higher risk for diseases, including cancer, and they are more likely to die from these diseases. Critics say that a meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients, especially protein and iron. Actually, according to A Teen s Guide to Going Vegetarian, by Judy Krizmanic, protein is found in almost every food, and iron appears in many vegetables. Gett
