8、.Passage 1Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of qua

9、lity in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials(商业广告) that their children see on television

10、. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has progr

11、ams for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educa

12、tors give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their wor

13、ld rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.31. Which of the following statements is not based on the passage?A.

18、l to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important . In his eagerness to draw qui

19、ck profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, t

20、he country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cult down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government

21、 has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents

22、the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.36. Trees are useful t

23、o man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can_.A. keep him from the hot sunshineB. enable him to build warshipsC. make him draw quick profit from themD. protect him from droughts and floods37.

24、ot eager to make profits from treesC. man hasnt realized the importance of trees to himD. man hasnt found out that he has lost all trees38. Sooner or later the forests will desappear_.A. unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB. unless people stop cutting down their treesC. unless all people a

25、re taught the importance of planting treesD. unless the government punishes those who trees instead of planting them 39. The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means“_”.A. to wash awayB. to make wetC. to make stay togetherD. to improve 40. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as the

26、y can _.A. keep rain from falling down to soft groundB. make it possible for the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC. prevent the soil from being washed awayD. make the topsoil stick togetherPassage 3 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its painful ? This might be called laziness

27、, but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that youre “hot”. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic （精力充沛） is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For s

28、ome people the people the peak comes before noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar saying as : “Get up, John! Youre late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and

29、-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling end when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. If your e

30、nergy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll work better at your low point.Get off to slow start which saves your energy. When you get up, sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on
