convenient channel of amusement, and a relatively cheap one. if we have a tv set in the family, we are not necessary to go to the cinema or theatre to enjoy programme with expensive tickets. all that they have to do is press a button with a finger, and they can watch all the programmes they like, such as tv talk shows , movies, opera and so on. but some people think of it as a danger. when we watch tv, we dont need to do anything . we do not even have to leave our sofa because we have a remote control in our hand. we dont need to make any judgment or statement about it. we are totally passive and dont use our head to think hard about some matters. as we all know, television keeps us informed about world eventsincluding all the events in society, science and politics .we can get a good idea of the most remote countries and the strangest customs in their country. of course the radio performs this service too, but the effect of the programme is not better than on the television. everything we enjoy on the television is much more vivid and realistic. however, in turn there is a great danger. usually we cannot resist the television screen, because it has a great harm for us. we have been so accustomed to enjoying the screen, so dependent on its pictures. but when our tv sets are out of order, we are surprised to find that we have much more time to do things. and at this time we actually begin to have a talk to each other again. it is really worth thinking. of course the arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of television are on the go.we can not simply say television itself is good or bad. the truth is that how we use it determines its true value to our society.5. what is the main idea of the passage?a. how to make use of the television.b. the history

dangerous d. very expensive7. why are some people against tv?a. because tv programs are not interesting.b. because tv viewers are completely passive.c. because tv prices are very high.d. because tv

the world, chinese students still prefer to come to the united states as their destination of choice.” she says. chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend american colleges and universities . after china, india sends the second largest number of students to the united states for higher education. india has about 100,000 students in american schools. south korea is third with about 70,000 students. why do so many foreign students study in the united states ? peggy blumenthal provides one reason. “ the advantage america has is that we have a huge system and a very diverse (多样的) system. so there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the united states, and what it tells us is that there is still a lot of room to contain international students.”9.what is the

them. 16 but this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.the human science and advanced technology institute at loughborough in the uk is part of an international research program. 17 that will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. the super-intelligent car in the future will drive itself. 18 instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing. according to dr. david davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(装置) to regulate(调节) the distance between one car and another. 19 computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people. by 2010, dr. david davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the cars windscreen. 20 cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “the front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.”says davis. “but all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”the team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized.they believe that cars will become more important in 20 years.and it will not be owned by one individual.and by 2030, cars will travel in line, linked to each other electronically.so the idea that in 20 years time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns.the car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front.第二部分 英语知识应用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 请阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。i sat with my friend in a coffee shop. as we enjoyed our _21_, a man entered and sat on an
