16、es place them in nursing homes. They are left in the 1 of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their grown children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any 2 visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate mythan 3 story. In fact, family members provide over 80 p
17、ercent of the care that elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied 4 the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the 5 American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. 6 , because people today live longer after an illness than people d

28、age 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Tides are created mainly by the pull of the moon on the earth. The moon“s pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a point closest to the moon and also at a point farthest from the moon on the opposite side of the earth. These two tidal “waves“ follow the apparen
29、t movement of the moon around the earth and strike nearly every coast line at intervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes. After reaching a high point, the water level goes down gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise toward a new high point. Hence, most coast
30、lines have two tides a day and the tides occur fifty minutes later each day. Differences in the coast line and in channels in the ocean bottom may change the time that the tidal wave reaches different points along the same coast line. The difference in water level between high and low tide varies fr
31、om day to day according to the relative positions of the sun and the moon. The sun also exerts a pull on the earth, although it is only about half as strong as the pull of the moon. When the sun and the moon are pulling along the same line, the tides rise higher, and when they pull at right angles t
32、o one another, the tide is lower. The formation of the coast line and variations in the weather are additional factors which can affect the height of tides. Some sections of the coast are shaped in such a way as to cause much higher tides than are experienced in other areas. A strong wind blowing to
33、ward the shore may also cause tides to the higher.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is right according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Some coast lines do not have two tides each day.B.Tides are not affected by the shape of coast line.C.The sun has as much effect on tides as does the moon.D.Tides usual
34、ly rise to the same land day after day.(2).The time that high tide occurs at a particular place is affected by all of the following EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.the direction of the windB.channels in the sea bottomC.variations in the coast lineD.the position of the moon(3).Which of the following is an accura
35、te statement about the pull of the sun on the earth?（分数：2.00）A.It is about twice the pull of the moon.B.It determines the time of high tide.C.It determines the time of low tide.D.It is about half the pull of the moon.(4).The height of the tide is affected by all of the following EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.
36、the position of the sunB.channels in the sea bottomC.the direction of the windD.variations in the coast line(5).Tides would _ if the pull of the moon equaled the pull of the sun.（分数：2.00）A.be the same height as they are nowB.be of equal height all the timeC.sometimes be higher than they are nowD.no
37、longer be affected by the wind七、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)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 loathing of war, and perhaps more interest
38、 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 th
39、eir opinion count. Unfortunately, television“s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. 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 the
40、y 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
41、; 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.（分数：10.00）(1).The underlined word “loathing
42、“ in the first paragraph refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.preferenceB.faithC.dislikeD.belief(2).In the past, many young people _.（分数：2.00）A.knew the effects of warB.went in for politicsC.liked to save the wounded in warsD.had to attend wars(3).Now with TV people can _.（分数：2.00）A.discuss politics at an informa
43、tion centerB.show more interest in politicsC.know the result of an election quicklyD.express their opinions freely(4).The author thinks that TV advertisements _.（分数：2.00）A.are reliable on the wholeB.are useless to peopleC.are a good guide to adultsD.are very harmful to the young(5).From the passage,
44、 we can conclude that _.（分数：2.00）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八、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man w
45、ith the portable computer in business class. In the past 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic de
46、vices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones. RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such devices from being used during “critical“ stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have g
47、one further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passen
48、gers want to work during flights. The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft“s computers. Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able
49、to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not. The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio system in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can“t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the
