now have seen the effects of a battle And the result has been a general dislike of war and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen Television has also changed politics The most distant areas can now follow state affairs see and hear the politicians before an election Better informed people are more likely to vote and so to make their opinion count Unfortunately television s influence has been extremely harmful to the young Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable All educators agree that the television generations are more violent than their parents and grandparents Also the young are less patient Used to TV shows where everything is quick and interesting they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures to read a book that requires thinking to listen to a teacher who doesn t do funny things like the people on children s programs And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten fifteen or thirty minutes That s the time it takes on the screen 6 In the past many young people A knew the effects of war B went in for politics C liked to save the wounded in wars D were willing to be soldiers 7 Now with TV people can A discuss politics at an information center B show more interest in politics C make their own decisions on political affairs D express their opinions freely 8 The author thinks that TV advertisements A are not reliable on the whole B are useless to people C are a good guide to adults D are very harmful to the young 9 Which is NOT true according to the passage A People have become used to crimes now B With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly C People now like to read books with picture D The adults are less violent than the young 10 From the passage we can conclude that A children should keep away from TV B TV programs should be improved C children s books should have pictures D TV has a deep influence on the young PassagePassage 2 2 In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six At this stage nearly all the teachers are women mostly married The atmosphere is usually very friendly and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested The old authoritarian 要绝对服从的 methods of education were discredited 不被认可 rather a long time ago so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good So the emphasis is on co operation rather than competition throughout most of this process This may seem curious in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive however the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas and obviously quite a few as criminals but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness 11 According to the passage the U S elementary education is supposed to make children A sensible and sensitive B competitive and interested 5 C curious and friendly D happy and co operative 12 Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think A children are reluctant to help each other B schools lay too much emphasis on co operation C children should grow up with competitive ideas D schools give little actual instruction to children 13 The author s attitude towards American education can be best described as A favorable B negative C tolerant D unfriendly 14 The American educational system emphasizes A material wealth B competition C co operation D personal benefit 15 The word sociable Line 7 Paragraph2 most probably means A fond of talking freely B friendly with other people C concerned about social welfareD happy at school 1 Hello I want to make a person to person call to Toronto Canada The number is 932 0806 A But I don t know whom do you want to call B What s the name of the party you re calling C What s the address of the person you re calling D What s the extension number you re calling 2 Have you ever been to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing A No but I have no time B No but I d like to C Yes I was too busy then D Yes I couldn t do it right now 3 Is everyone always so helpful to you in your office A Yes What can I do for you now B Yes there is a hotel nearby C Yes Can I help you D Yes It s a great place to work 4 It s a beautiful day today How about a little trip out into the country A That sounds great What should I do for the preparation B I don t know I really haven t thought about what we d do C Well would you like me to pack picnic or to buy

nations Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country s imports exceeds that of its exports For example if a country buys 25 billion of products from other countries yet sells only 10 billion of its own products overseas its trade deficit 贸易逆差 is 15 billion Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country In the case of an underdeveloped nation this can cause many financial difficulties including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States a large trade deficit is a reason for alarm American products made by well paid workers in U S industries cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia where labor and material costs are much lower Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries 6 What does the passage mainly discuss A Some worldwide economic problems B The cause and consequences of trade deficit C Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries D High labor and material costs in developed countries 7 According to the passage a trade imbalance occurs when 6 A a country is facing serious financial problems B a country buys more from other countries than it sells overseas C the value of a country s exports is greater than that of its imports D products imported are more expensive than those exported 8 Many underdeveloped countries have trade deficits because A they failed to meet debt payments B they export most of their natural resources to other countries C they borrow too much money from other countries D they have to import most of their manufactured products 9 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance A The flow of currency out of the country B Low labor and material costs in Asian countries C Lack of natural resources D An undeveloped industrial base 10 It can be inferred from this passage that American industries A do not pay their workers sufficiently B are hurt by a trade imbalance C imported labor and material from abroad D are able to prevent a trade deficit PassagePassage 2 2 Newspapers along with reporting the news instruct entertain and give opinion An important way for reading a large big city newspaper is knowing how to take it apart Can you find these separate sections world news national and local news sports business entertainment opinions classified ads Does your paper have other sections News stories give facts not the author s opinions Editorials do the opposite you can expect an editorial to take sides Some newspaper editorials have a by line with the author s name but many newspapers have unsigned editorials These reflect the opinions of the publisher or editor You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper For example you can expect headlines to omit unnecessary words You can expect to find the most important facts in the lead paragraph the first paragraph of a news story You can expect important news items to be on the front page You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages Most of all the more you know about the current news the more you will understand what is in the newspaper important stories are generally presented one day and
