16、Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed, not many of the poorest regions (地区) of the world, it remains the next big thingfinally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.Across the developing world, around

17、 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S., where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005, aft

18、er the fall of the Taliban (塔利班), which had Uoutlawed/U TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.Televisions most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily O

19、ster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child healthcare. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state

20、 of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant (有意义的) improvement on their reading skills.Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is h

21、aving a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.（分数：6.00）(1).What would be the best title for the passage?

23、agraph 2 probably means “_“. A.allowed B.banned C.offered D.refused（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.he American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamins older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real

24、 newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklins Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper compiles are

25、 losing advertisers (广告商), readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor (主编) of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, How are you?, as if they have ju

26、st come out of the hospital or a lost law came.“ An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.“Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real s

27、ense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off t

28、heir Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education, its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the companys income.（分数：4.00）(1).What can we infer about the newspaper editors?

29、 suggestions. B.They care a lot about each others health. C.They stop doing business with advertisers. D.They face great difficulties in their business.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers? A.Satisfied B.Hopeful C.Worried D.Surprised（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.Oi

30、l and EconomyCould the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when p

31、rices quadrupled, and 19791980, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Streng

32、thening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a sm

33、aller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and

34、so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of

35、GDP (inconstant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25%0.5% of GDP.

36、 That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economiesto which heavy industry has shiftedhave become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, u

37、nlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The Economists commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 comm

38、odity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.（分数：5.00）(1).The main reason for the latest rise of oil price is _. A.global inflation B.reduction in supply C.fast growth in economy D.Iraqs suspension of exports（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petr

39、ol will go up dramatically if _. A.price of crude rises B.commodity prices rise C.consumption rises D.oil taxes rise（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The estimates in Economic Outlook show that in rich countries _. A.heavy industry becomes more energy-intensive B.income loss mainly results from fluctuating crude

40、 oil prices C.manufacturing industry has been seriously squeezed D.oil price changes have no significant impact on GDP（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).We can draw a conclusion from the text that _. A.oil-price shocks are less shocking now B.inflation seems irrelevant to oil-price shocks C.energy conservation ca

41、n keep down the oil prices D.the price rise of crude leads to the shrinking of heavy industry（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).From the text we can see that the writer seems _. A.optimistic B.sensitive C.gloomy D.scared（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good score

42、s in certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or anxious situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For example, when in a

43、new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he cant mak

44、e things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he fails; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook (人生观) on life, special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, youll see great difference

45、 between what we call “bright“ children and “not bright“ children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out more about lifehe tries to get in touch with everything around him

46、. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.（分数：5.00）(1).According to this passage, intelligence is the ability _. A.to behave immediately B.to do well in school C.to deal with life D.to know what to do（分数：1.00）

47、A.B.C.D.(2).In a new situation, an intelligent person _. A.knows more about what might happen to him B.is sure of the result he will get C.concentrates on the situation D.cares more about himself（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage the biggest difference between “bright“ children and “not bright“ children lies in _. A.the amount of intelligence B.the different situations they face C.the different attitudes to life D.the background of life（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Whats the main idea of the passage? A.Whats real meaning of intelligence? B.Whats the
