1、BFT阅读（综合）模拟试卷 28及答案与解析 一、 Part 2 0 1. Television that most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of televisi

2、on and computer technologies. 2. The word “television“, derived from its Greek(tele: distant)and Latin(vision: sight)roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability

3、of converting an image(focused on a special photo-conductive plate within a camera)into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver(television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image. 3. Television is more than

4、just an electronics system, however. It is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings. 4. The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadc

5、ast television, which reaches the masses through broad based airwave transmission of television signals. Second, there is non-broadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission technique. 5. Traditionally, television has been

6、 a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, who have been the majo

7、r purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer. Questio

On an average of six times a day, a doctor in Holland practices “active“ euthanasia: intentionally administering a lethal drug to a terminally ill patient who

13、has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can effect an ultimate cure. “Active“ euthanasia remains a crime on the Dutch statute books punishable by 12 years in prison. But a series of court cases over t

14、he past 15 years has made it clear that a competent physician who carries it out will not be prosecuted. 2. Euthanasia, often called “mercy killing“, is a crime everywhere in Western Europe. But more and more doctors and nurses in Britain, West Germany, Holland and elsewhere readily admit to practic

15、ing it, most often in the “passive“ form of withholding or withdrawing treatment. The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a sometimes fierce public debate, with both sides claiming the mantle of ultimate righteousness. Those opposed to the practice see themselves up holding s

16、acred principles of respect for life, while those in favor raise the banner of humane treatment. After years on the defensive, the advocates now seem to be gaining ground. Recent polls in Britain show that 72 percent of British subjects favor euthanasia in some circumstances. An astonishing 76 perce

17、nt of respondents to a poll taken late last year in France said they would like the law changed to decriminalize mercy killings. 3. Reasons for the latest surge of interest in euthanasia are not hard to find. Europeans, like Americans, are now living longer. The average European male now lives to th

18、e age of 72, women to almost 80. As Derek Humphrey, a leading British advocate of “rational euthanasia“ says, “lingering chronic diseases have replaced critical illnesses as the primary cause of death.“ 4. And so the enthusiasts have begun to press their case with greater force. They argue that ever

19、y human being should have the right to “die with dignity“, by which they usually mean the right to escape the horrors of a painful or degrading hospitalization. Most advocates of voluntary euthanasia has argued that the right to die should be accorded only to the terminally and incurably ill, but th

20、e movement also includes a small minority who believe in euthanasia for anyone who rationally decides to take his own life. 5. That right is unlikely to get legal recognition any time in the near future. Even in the Netherlands, the proposals now before Parliament would restrict euthanasia to a smal

21、l number of cases and would surround even those with elaborate safeguards. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1-5, choose the best title for each paragraph from below.
