Since then, innumerable children 32 in front of the set. However, many people now worry about the effect of TV on the young. They wonder there had never been 33 invention. Why are they so afraid? Is television really harmful? Like almost anything else, television has its good as well as its bad sides. It has 34 joy and interest into the lives of the old, the sick, and the lonely. Without it, some of these people would have little pleasure and no window 35 the world. Unfortunately, some television programs have been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough 36 . They do not realize that TV programs often show an unreal world. Commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. Children believe them and want to 37 what they see on TV. They believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap—or some other product. They believe that the murders on TV 38 are normal and acceptable. By the time they are out of high school, most young people have watched about 15,000 hours of television, and have seen about 18,000 violent 39 . If they see violent deaths every day, how can they be shocked by murder in real life? Television has certainly changed our lives and our society. 40 its good points, it has brought many problems. We must find a solution to these problems because—whether we like it or not—television is here to stay. 31-35:DCCDB 36A 37:imitate 38:A 39:B 40:D 31. A. brought B. took C. did D. made 32.

And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor 42 he has a car. There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. 43 of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and 44 form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact 45 the United States never developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public 46 . Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service 47 by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is 48 really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to 49 an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.

Decide whether each of them is true (T) or false (F). Passage 1 In the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal. One famous sunken ship is the "Lusitania", which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly 1500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $300,000 or more. The ship, lying on the sea-bed has been bought by a man called John Light. He paid about $1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000. T51. Divers try to bring up metals because some kinds of them are worth a lot of money. T52. Now divers still search for valuable things and try to bring to the earth surface the ships themselves. F53. John Light hopes he may be able to sell the whole ship of “Lusitania” for more than $1.5 million. F54. The ship “Lusitania” sank off the southwestern coast of Ireland with a lot of people drowned. F55. In the past, divers hoped to bring up everything of a sunken ship except metals. Passage 2 More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise. In the past, work for most people involved manual labor in the fresh open air of the fields. However, nowadays an increasing number of people are employed in offices or factories. Their daily work does not provide them with the amount of exercise their bodies need. Therefore, they have come to spend part of their free time doing regular physical exercise. There are many different forms of exercise to suit different tastes. For example, those who enjoy competitive sports may take up ball games. Those who prefer to exercise alone can have a run or take a walk in the morning or in the evening. Besides, people can go swimming in summer and go skating in winter. In short, no matter what their interests are, people can always find one or more sports that are suitable to them. However, the form of physical exercise must be chosen carefully. More harm than good will result if people choose the wrong form of exercise. For the aged, Qigong or Tai Ji Quan will suit them better than competitive sports. Those who have little spare time may have a regular run in the morning. Only if the kind of exercise is chosen properly and performed regularly, will it benefit people’s health, work and study. T56. Nowadays, more people realize the importance of physical exercise. F57. It is unnecessary to take some exercise every day. T58. People who enjoy competitive sports may take up basketball or football. F59. Physical exercise can do more harm than good to people because they will feel tired after it. T60.People can always find one or more sports that benefit their health, work and study. IV.

Each passage is followed by some true-false questions. Decide whether each of them is true (T) or false (F) Passage 1 AIDS, fifty years ago, didn’t exist. Fifteen years ago a few doctors and public health officials noticed the first cases. Within a few years it was clear that it has now killed almost 14 million people around the world. Four years ago doctors came up with the first treatment to make a dent in the spiraling death rate. Today that treatment works for some patients, but it’s not clear how long results will last. And still there is no cure. For the nearly 35 million people around the world now living with HIV, there may never be a cure. Once cells are infected with HIV, it is very difficult — perhaps impossible ―to rid them of the virus. The only sure way to stop AIDS is to prevent infection in the first place, and only a vaccine can do that. Unfortunately HIV is one of the most changeable viruses known to science. After more than a dozen years, it is still rather difficult to produce effective vaccine. Still the billions of dollars spent on AIDS research over the past 20 years has not been wasted. As scientists learn more about how HIV survives in the human body, they are realizing that drugs alone may not be enough. To contain the virus effectively, it may take a balance between drug treatments that can keep HIV levels low and a strengthened immune system that can then target and destroy the remaining virus. Until scientists find a vaccine, however, they may control but never cure the century’s final scourge. F51. AIDS didn’t exist fifteen years ago. T52. Scientists have found a vaccine which can prevent HIV infection. T53. Although some treatment works for some patients with HIV, there is still no cure. T54. HIV is a changeable virus so that it is very difficult to produce effective vaccine. F55. We have wasted billions of dollars on AIDS research. Passage 2 Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught—to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer to that problem is, whether or not this is a good way of saying or doing this or that. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn and how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learned at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it. (F)56. The best way for children to learn a language and other things is for them to make mistakes and have them corrected by themselves. F57. School teaching looks as if teachers think that children would notice a mistake and have it corrected themselves. T58. When it comes to a matter of right answers, teachers should give children the answer book and let them correct their own papers. (F)59. The author strongly suggests that without correcting children’s mistakes, they would grown up into adults who are unable to think for themselves. (F)60. The passage aims to say that it is necessary for parents to teach their children things that they will need to get on in the world. IV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese. 61.

VI. Writing Directions: For this section, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a short composition on the topic SELF-STUDY. You should write your composition in about 80 words, and base it on the points suggested (given in Chinese) below. (1) 你认为自学难还是不难,说出你的理由。 Self-study is a good way of improving our knowledge of things. Some of the great scientists and lecturer couldn't afford to go to school so they just studied at home without anybody's help. Sometimes self-study could be more affective then going to schools and listen to teachers telling you what to do, but sometimes it will be better to learn in schools to furtherly knowing whats going on.
