If I had the ability to change one thing about American society, my decision would not be a difficult one. I would ban television. I grew up a couch potato. Looking back, it seems I hardly read anything else at all—I watched TV almost seven hours a day. There are so many good reasons for you to be a couch potato. Television is good before-breakfast entertainment. Television is good after-school entertainment. Television is good before-bed entertainment. Everybody watches it, so you have to watch it too in order to talk about it with friends. Otherwise you cannot say a word, which makes you look like an idiot. But when I stopped watching television completely several months ago, I found that I had become a more reflective person, simply because I had more time to think. Television had stopped stuffing its ideas into my head. I was thinking of my childhood, and to my disappointment, I found that it could be summed up adequately in one sentence: “I watched a lot of TV.” And I wasted too much of my youth that I cannot have back. I will never be more imaginative than I was in my childhood. Now I can totally resist the temptation of TV no matter how marvelous the programs are, and I’m entering into a new stage of life. In the meantime, I’d hope that all couch potatoes would turn off their TV. But I am afraid that with more and more attractive TV programs, I’m not going to be the last person in this country to idle away the best years of life sitting passively in front of a television. 1. A couch potato is someone who ______. A. spends much time sitting and watching TV B. plants potato C. plants potato in the couch D. sits in a couch eating potato 2. People watch TV so much because ______. A. television is good before breakfast entertainment B. television is good after-school entertainment C. television is good before-bed entertainment D. All of the above 3. According to the passage, people will ______ if they stop watching TV. A. fill themselves with idea on TV B. be more lazy and relaxed C. have more time to think D. not look back at their childhood 4. Which of the following is NOT true of the author? 1 江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试 A. The author had watched television a lot. B. The author had wasted too much of his youth. C. The author will never be more imaginative than he was in his childhood. D. The author is determined to go on watching television. 5. The phrase “idle away” (Para.5) probably means “______”. A. spend time in a different way B. spend time in a relaxed way C. enter a new stage D. watch television Passage Two Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Sometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing. He is incapable of saying, “I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality (活力) .” Instead, he could say, “That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done better!” The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, he is too sensitive to notice. Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment. Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but half-heartedly. Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager’s office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Instead he w3ill attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, “You can talk in font of me. Henry and I don’t have many secrets, do we? ” Over the years Pergus has fallen behind his former equals. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days. 6. Which of the following words describes Ted best______. A. Cold B. Tactless C. Stupid D. Warm-hearted 7. It can be inferred from the passage that Ted______. . A. is well-known for his honestly B.tends to blame others rather than himself C.often gives the right idea in the wrong way D.is treated unfairly by the management 8. Which of the following is true about Sally? A.She thinks it’s unfair to have so much work to do______ B.She is unhappy to help others. C.She hates being ordered about. D.She does everything half-heartedly. 9. Form the passage, we can infer that Fergus______ . A.was once close to all his colleagues B.has remained in the same position for years 2 江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试 C.doesn’t know what a hint is D.knows everything that happens in the office 10. The writer is taking the point of view of______ . A. a colleague B. people like Ted C. an employee D. a manager Passage Three Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to write. Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ?remembered history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But if there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful. 11. Which of the following is NOT suggested in the passage? A. Written history is more reliable. B. Written records play an important role in learning about history. C. A written account of our daily activities helps to answer many questions. . D. Where there are no written records, there is no history. 12. Little is known about the central Africa 200 years ago because ______. A. there was nothing worth writing down at that time B. people there ignored the importance of keeping a record C. people there did not know how to write D. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire 13. “Remembered history” refers to ______. A. history based on a person’s imagination B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth C. songs and dances about the most important events. D. both B and C 14. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______. A. it is written down B. No written account is available C. it proves to be timely D. People are interested in it 3 江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试 15. It is suggested that we could have learned more about our past if ancient people had ______. A. kept a written record of every past event B. burnt their written records in wars C. told exact stories of the most important happenings D. made more songs and dances Passage Four Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive experiences in nightmares. Now American researchers are developing a pill which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.” But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but they can make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser ,a medical ethicist. 16. The drug tested on people can ______. A. help cure brain damage B. stop people remembering bad experiences C. stop the body producing certain chemicals D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories 17. According to the supporters of the pills, ______. A. the pills might relieve people of troubling memories B. the pills could help people avoid mistakes C. taking the pill will do harm to people’s health D. the pills should be produced in American soon 18. The word “they” (Para.6) refers to ______. A. the researchers B. the people on test C. memories D. mistakes 19. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with? A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives. B. People want to get rid of bad memories. 4 江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试 C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others. D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories. 20. The passage is mainly about ______. A. an argument about the research on the pill B. a new research on the pill C. a way of deleting painful memories D. a new medical invention Part II Vocabulary and Structure ,共40小题～每小题1分～共40分, Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
