17、which may be a pleasure for some people, is a serious source of discomfort for their fellows.

In fact, nonsmokers who must involuntarily inhale the air pollute

As you are doubtless aware, a considerable number of our students have 【B4】 an effort to 【B5】 the university to ban smoking in the classrooms.

But they insisted that its 【B3】 results during the period from 1740 to 1840 were widespread poverty and misery for the 【B4】 of the English population. 【B5】 contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1640 to
27、 1740, when England was still a 【B6】 agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity. This view, 【B7】 . is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists 【B8】 history and economics, have 【B9】 two things: that the period from 1640 to 1740 was 【B10】 by great poverty, and that industrializ

Some of the difficulties they experienced when were trying to 【B1

This 【B3】 of seeing for others means that the commentator has to be very good at talking. Above all, he has to be able to 【B4】 a continuous sequence of visual
35、images which 【B5】 meaning to the sounds which the listener hears. In the 【B6】 of television, however, the commentator sees everything with the viewer. His role, therefore, is completely different. He is there to make 【B7】 that the viewer does not miss some point of interest, to help him focus on par
36、ticular things, and to 【B8】 the images on the television screen. Unlike his radio colleague, he must know the 【B9】 of silence and how to use it at those moments 【B10】 the pictures speak for themselves. （分数：-1.00）A.turnB.adaptC.alterD.modifyA.experiencedB.determinedC.establishedD.accustomedA.efficien
