I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law.

Let us take a  36 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(an)  37  were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might  38  together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our  39  —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of  40  illness —are caused at least in part by  41  to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to  42  our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.

On evenings when such talk is  43 , families could discover more active pastimes(消遣,娱乐. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a  44  together to watch the sunset  45  they might take a walk together.  46  free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in  47  than in a TV program.  48  report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence,  49  at the college level.  50  is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.

A different  51  of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the  52  ends, the TV net works might be forced to  53  with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.

At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的. How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years  54  television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can  55  childhoods without television. It wasn’t that difficult.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

A lot of management training each year for Circle K Corporation, a national chain of convenience stores. Among the topics we address in our course is the retention(保护力) of quality employees-a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale(标准)in the service industry. During these discussions, I ask the participants(参加者), “What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?” Some time back a new manager took the question and slowly, with her voice almost breaking, said, “It was a $19 baseball glove.”

Cynthia told the group that she originally took a Circle K clerk job as an interim(临时的) position while she looked for something better. On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that as a single mother, money was very tight, and her first check would have to go for paying bills. Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check. When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that served as an office. Cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused.

Patricia handed her a box. “I overheard you talking to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is hard to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how important he is, even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. You know we can’t pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we do care, and I want you to know you are important to us.”

The thoughtfulness, empathy and love of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays. An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove.

56.Among many of the problems in the service industry, what is talked about in this passage, is     .

    A.how to ensure his employees’ high pay

    B.how to attract more customers

    C.how to look carefully after the employees

    D.how to keep the good employees from leaving

57.Although a new manager, Cynthia would do her job well in keeping quality employees because she     .

    A.had mastered all the courses for the manager

    B.had already formed good relationship with the employees

    C.know the way how to deal with her employees

    D.had her own personal experience

58.This passage shows us that to run a business well it is necessary for managers to let their employees know      .

    A.how much they can get for their job.

    B.what good positions they can get later

    C.they are very necessary to the business 

    D.they are nice as well as useful

59.The story told in this passage tells us that employees care about     .

    A.only how large a pay they can get

    B.love from the managing people rather than only money

    C.if their children could be properly taken care of

    D.what position they can be offered

B

Whatever our differences as human beings are, we all think we’re more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 per cent of our genetic(遗传的)structure with the simple worm.

But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome(染色体组.

To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode(线虫类的)worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and what can be done to make it better.

What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of cells in the human body is programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up.

Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed. When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.

60.Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has     .

    A.found that human beings are similar to the worn

    B.got the fact we share 40 per cent of our genetic structure with the simple worm

    C.found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human body

    D.proved that cell death is programmed

61.People might be seriously ill if the cells in heir body     .

    A.grow without being instructed        B.die regularly

    C.fail to follow people’s instructions     D.develop in the human body

62.The underlined word “they” (paragraph 5) refers to     .

    A.cell deaths      B.diseases        C.instructions     D.cells

63.What is the subject discussed in the text?

    A.The theory of programmed cell deaths.

    B.A great scientist—Sir John Sulston.

    C.The programmed human life.

    D.Dangerous diseases.

C

Sports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism(批评)from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.

The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback(反馈)to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters many take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷) in themselves.

Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.

64.According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that      .

    A.it can help them learn more about society

    B.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

    C.it enables them to find flaws in themselves

    D.it can provide them with valuable experiences

65.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes      .

    A.without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidence

    B.in order to make them remember life’s lessons

    C.believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development

    D.so as to put more pressure on them

66.According to the passage parents and coaches should      .

    A.help children to win every game

    B.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

    C.enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports

    D.train children to deal with stress

67.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is      .

    A.to persuade young children not to worry about criticism

    B.to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to children

    C.to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragement

    D.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

After the September 11 terrorist attacks, some high schools in America wanted the students to pledge allegiance(宣誓效忠) to the flag. Is it necessary or not? Let’s see how the kids think of this requirement.

Lea Mouallem, Marymount High School

I believe that saying the Pledge of Allegiance is a way of reminding our country that no matter what happens, we are united. I don’t think our president wants us to go and join the army now, but he wants to tell us that we will be able to overcome the disaster as a whole nation that is working together.

Harry Chin, 15, Culver City High School

I am not for the Pledge of Allegiance and I am not against the Pledge of Allegiance because I just say it so many times that it loses meaning. I say it every day at school in the second period. It doesn’t mean anything any more.

David Tran, 15, Warren High School.

The Pledge of Allegiance is another sign of country. We should have some respect to it. In many schools, we don’t say the Pledge every morning-we just stand up and let the National anthem ring through the silence. We said the Pledge of Allegiance on Sept. 12.

Danny Maryanor, 16, Santa Monica High School

I wonder why we were suddenly asked to recite the Pledge when many of us stopped after elementary school; and the Pledge was recited before the play of “Ode to Joy” (欢乐颂)with recorders. This was not to express patriotism(爱国主义), or even to remember those who lost their lives on Sept. 11.

I feel I cannot support a nation that in this time of crisis looks outward for revenge(报复)instead of inward for peace. Perhaps we should think more about our problems.

68.Saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag first appeared in American schools     .

    A.after Sept. 11, 2000               B.before Sept. 11, 2001

    C.on Sept. 11, 2001                D.after Sept. 11, 2001

69.Who were for the Pledge of Allegiance?

    A.Lea Mouallem; David Tran          B.Harry Chin; Danny Maryanor

    C.Lea Mouallem; Danny Maryanor      D.Harry Chin; David Tran

70.Which of the following is TRUE?

    A.Harry Chin thought the government required them to join the army.

    B.Lea Mouallem thought the Pledge of Allegiance of no meaning.

    C.Danny Maryanor felt the terrorist attacks happened partly because of America’s own problem.

    D.The Pledge of Allegiance is of another country.

71.According to the passage, it can be imagined that     .

    A.all high school students say yes to the Pledge of Allegiance.

    B.all high school students say no to the Pledge of Allegiance.

    C.all kids don’t agree to the requirement of saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

    D.all high schools will require their students to pledge allegiance to the flag.

“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.

But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?

Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?

Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.

One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.

The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy(时髦的), beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”

Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!

Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day.

Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.

72.The passage is mainly about     .

    A.problem with technology

    B.improvements of our life with technology

    C.the important roles technology plays in our everyday life

    D.major changes which will be likely to happen to technology

73.The writer quoted(引用) what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to     .

    A.share a truth about life

    B.tell us what life was like long time ago

    C.make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen

    D.point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same

74.Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940’s house? Because     .

    A.they liked to live simple lives

    B.they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions

    C.they were troubled by modern inventions

    D.living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them

75.What do you think the underlined word “available” in the first suggestion offered by the writer mean?

    A.Busy on line.      B.Free..       C.Be able to.      D.Be found by others.

Last month we bought our two-year-old daughter a little       

dog. There are not many children of her age there we live,          76.     

and we thought a dog would make her less alone. We were         77.     

right. They play together happily all days. Our daughter now        78.     

smiles and laughs a lot more than she used. In a way it            79.

What Will the Child Become?

Look at this picture. Here is a family of five. The only child is riding his “horse”—his father. What a proud “king” he looks! His grandfather is holding an umbrella over him and cooling him with a fan. His mother is carrying his schoolbag and lots of other things for him. What is his grandmother doing behind? She is working hard carrying an electronic piano and a drawing board. But what will the child become in the future? He’ll think of himself more important than anyone else. He’ll be able to do anything without help. He’ll become no good for the world.

    One day I took several pairs of shoes to the shoemaker to be repaired. After a week I picked them up and put them away. Six months later, my husband and I were invited to dinner. I took a pair of shoes I hadn’t worn since they were repaired. I put one shoe on my right foot, and then I put the other on my left. I felt something wrong .I took them off for a closer look, they were exactly the same size, but each was for the right foot. Then I thought of the shoemaker. Though I was sure he wouldn’t remember me after such a long time. I called him. “Thank goodness, you finally called,” he said excitedly ,”an angry woman has been troubling me for months!”

Picasso, the famous Spanish painter, was born in 1881. His father was an art teacher. Picasso began to paint very early. He was admitted to Royal Academy of Art at the age of 15. After 1900, he spent much time in Paris, living there from 1904 to 1907, when he moved to the south of France.

Throughout his career, Picasso moved from style to style with ease. He practiced sculpture, illustrated books and also showed great interest in pottery-design and other fields of art.

Picasso produced a great number of drawings during his lifetime, No later artist of the school of Paris has replaced him in international influence.

Picasso is generally considered to be the foremost figure in 20th century French art. His paintings are now exhibited in leading European and American galleries.
