26、数：8.00)Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have

27、 conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society. Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of o

28、ne of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmi

29、ssion and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news. No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was i

30、ndeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes. Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of

31、information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining. Altho

32、ugh a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.（分数：8.00）(1

33、).In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _ of face-to-face contact in social settings.（分数：2.00）A.natureB.limitationC.usefulnessD.creativity(2).It is implied in the passage that_（分数：2.00）A.local news used to be the only source of informationB.local news still takes a significant placeC.nati

34、onal news is becoming more popularD.international news is the fastest transmitted news(3).which of the following statement is INCORRECT?（分数：2.00）A.To possess information used to be a privilegeB.Public libraries have replaced private librariesC.Communication means more than transmissionD.Information

35、influences ways of life and thinking(4).From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is_.（分数：2.00）A.indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB.happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC.pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD.concerned about the wrong use of the

36、mass media八、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it weren“t for my job I would immediately head out for the ope

37、n spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream? Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you l

38、ive fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervouscooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the worlDStrangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street al

39、l knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don“t even say hello to each other. Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of

40、 knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There“s little possibility

41、 of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet. What,

42、then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn“t come

43、 to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitiv

44、ity as the plastic flowers they leave behind they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages. What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I“m kee

45、n on the idea, but you see there“s my cat, Toby, I“m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.（分数：10.00）(1).

49、on are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a n
