Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the
24、fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of spe
28、ech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have 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 comm
29、unication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one 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, telecomm
30、unications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission 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 conf
31、ined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was 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 mi
32、llions of homes. Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of 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 ad
33、vertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining. Although 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
34、mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back. （分数：8.00）(1).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 us
35、ed to be the only source of informationB.local news still takes a significant placeC.national 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
36、 have replaced private librariesC.Communication means more than transmissionD.Information 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 m
37、ediaC.pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD.concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaPassage 2 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
38、myself that it werent for my job I would immediately head out for the open 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 impers
39、onal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live 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 w
40、orld. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks dont 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 bind
41、s the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of 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
42、and important events that take place in cities. Theres little possibility 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 countr
43、y is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet. What, 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 advan
44、tages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesnt come 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 sensitivity 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 inhab
