Television has opened windows in everybody’s life.Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914,Millions of people 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.(76)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.1.In the past,many young people ______.A.knew the effects of warB.went in for politicsC.liked to save the wounded in warsD.were willing to be soldiers2.Now with TV people can _____.A.discus politics at an information centerB.show more interest in politicsC.make their own decisions on political affairsD.express their opinions freely3.The author thinks that TV advertisements _____.A.are not reliable on the wholeB.are useless to peopleC.are a good guide to adultsD.are very harmful to the young4.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.5.From the passage,we can conclude that _____.A.children should keep away from TVB.TV programs should be improvedC.children’s books should have picturesD.TV has a deep influence on the young

阅读理解What will the weather be like tomorrow? Some people say they can forecast(预测)the weather from animals.Some of them look at seabirds. When they see seabirds fly high, they say it will be a nice day. When the weather is bad, the seabirds stay on the shore(岸). They don't like to fly in strong winds and they sit in trees when rain is on the way.Other people look at different animals on the farm. For example, chickens may make a lot of noise and run here and there when rain is on the way. Frogs(青蛙)can tell the weather, too. When rain is on the way, they stay in water and make a lot of noise too. But when it is a nice day, they will be quiet and jump out of the water.(1)When some people see seabirds ________ they think it is going to be a nice day.A.sit in trees B.stay on the shore C.fly high D.fly to the trees(2)Chickens ________ when rain is on the way.A.run around B.keep quiet C.know nothing D.sit in trees(3)When rain is on the way, frogs may ________.A.eat a lot B.not make a lot of noise C.go to the land D.not jump out of the waterWe talk every day. When we have good news, we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens, we will let others know soon. But do you know that a tree can talk and share news? It sounds strange, but it's true that some trees can also communicate with each other. Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do.Willow trees(柳树)are the best- known of these trees. When insects(昆虫)begin eating a willow tree, the tree gives out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willow trees that insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical(化学物质)in their leaves. This chemical is bad for the insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees keep themselves away from the insects.Next time when you take a walk near the trees, maybe the trees are "talking" to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot "talk", please tell them that even trees can "talk" to each other, too.(1)Willow trees communicate with each other by ________.A.words B.winds C.smells D.sounds(2)The underlined word "lips" in the first paragraph means ________.A.树干 B.嘴唇 C.枝条 D.手势(3)________ make(s) the insects fly away.A.The leaves on the willow treesB.The"talk"between the willow treesC.The special smell that willow trees give outD.The chemical that willow trees make in their leaves(4)The passage tells us that some of the trees can ________.A.speak just as people doB.tell stories to municate with each otherD.kill insects in the woodsFamily traditions are special habits or customs that your family have. For example, in the family of Bill Gates, his parents keep the tradition of reading with children. And what's the tradition in your family?★ Nick, 15, EnglandOn every family member's birthday, we give him or her a surprise. Last Sunday, it was my mother's birthday. And I knew that she wanted to see a film. So I bought a ticket without telling her first. This made her really happy.★ Jack, 15, CubaEvery weekend, my parents and I go to my grandparents' home. My grandparents cook many delicious foods. I meet all my cousins. We talk about interesting things at school. Sometimes, my parents also join us to play games.★ Yu Xin, 14, ChinaDuring every summer or winter holiday, we have a family trip across the country. I'm always the one who chooses where to go.

When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth(地面)hot but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When it moves in, you will feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask "Why is the ocean full of salt(盐)?", scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks.When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks(断裂). Rain falls into the cracks and then carries the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, "What happens to the salt in the ocean?" The ocean does not get saltier every year. Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers which we don't have and are curious(好奇的)about.(1)The main idea of this passage is that ________.A.people feel cool when they are near a lake or an oceanB.scientists can explain many things, but not everythingC.scientists can explain everything about the oceanD.the salt in the ocean comes from rocks(2)Now scientists know ________.A.what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summerB.everything about the oceanC.what happens to the salt in the oceanD.why the ocean does not get more and more salty(3)A rock cracks when ________.A.rain falls B.it gets very hot C.it gets very cold D.both B and C(4)In the first paragraph, the underlined word "it" refers to ________.A.the hot air over the waterB.the cool air over the earthC.the hot air over the earthD.the cool air over the water(5)Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.The reason why people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean in hot weather.B.The reason why the ocean doesn't get saltier every year.C.The reason why the water in the ocean is salty.D.The reason why rocks crack.阅读短文,完成下列小题。Peter always doesn't know the way.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55（）。A. withB. asC. overD. for

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
