27、rt A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Censorship(审查制度 ) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censors
28、hip contributes to the common good. Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set him- self up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where
29、 genuine works of art are concerned, modem censors are extremely liberal in their views often tar more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which
30、 come before the censor are very far from being“ works of art“. When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk(大部分 ) of the entertainment industry. When censorship
31、 laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a license to produce virtually anything in the name of “art“. There is an increasing tendency to equate“ artistic“ with“ pornographic“ (色情的 ). So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupt
32、ing(腐蚀 )the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if deprived itself of the wise counsel and the re- straining influence which a censor provides. 46 A censors duty is_. （ A） to ban publications and cut films （ B） to ensure there is no dirty content in books, plays or films （ C） to distingu
33、ish works of art from others （ D） to place the entertainment industry under his control 47 Some people are against censorship for the reason that_. （ A） censorship is against the ideals of democracy （ B） censors prevent people from making profits （ C） censorship limits the way people feel and think
34、（ D） censors cannot appreciate artistic merit 48 When the writer say“ to equate artistic with pornographic“, he means_. （ A） there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic （ B） many pornographic works are published in the name of art （ C） masterpieces sometimes have
35、pornographic content （ D） artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value 49 According to the writer, a society free from censorship_. （ A） could not develop its entertainment industry to the full （ B） would become poorer both materially and spiritually （ C） would expose its people
36、to dangers of being corrupted （ D） would allow only a small section of people to make profits 50 Whats the main idea of this passage? （ A） Censors are fully qualified for their job. （ B） Many publications and films are not works of art. （ C） Society will not do without censorship. （ D） Works of art
37、should be set apart front pornographic works. 50 Americans use of cell phones has increased so quickly that wireless networks are becoming overloaded, causing a growing number of customers to complain about calls that are inaudible or are cut off or are never connected in some places. And things cou
38、ld get worse before they get better, industry experts say, because even as cell phone companies are rolling out fancy features like digital photography and Internet-based games, they are not capable of spending the money needed to improve basic service. “This is a situation in which the wireless ind
39、ustry is a victim of its own success,“ said James D. Schlichtinga deputy chief at the Federal Communications Commission. Many of the industrys service problems are a result of a huge growth of new customers. The surge in users in overwhelming the capacity to handle calls on wireless systems whether
40、be- cause local transmitters are too few or too small, or because the local airwaves have become too crowded and carriers are unable to obtain larger radio frequencies. The problems are compounded by basic economics. Customers have been attracted by tile plunge in prices for wireless service. The av
41、erage per-minute cost has dropped to 11 cents this year from 56 cents in 1995. For the phone companies that has meant a decline in average revenue per customer to 61 a month, from 74 in 1995. And so, just when the wireless companies need to invest more money to accommodate all those new users, the c
42、ompanies are under increased financial strain. As a result, the complaints are piling up. The percentage of all wireless subscribers who have called customer-service centers at least once in the last year to complain about service or because they had other problems has climbed to 61 per cent, from 5
43、3 per cent in 2000, according to J. D. Power meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for size. The jobs are principally done by machine. The next stage, for vegetables only, is blanching. This is immersion(浸洗 ) in very hot or boiling water for a short time to re
44、move air and soften the vegetable. This makes it easier to pack into cans for sterilization. Some packing machines fill up to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. When the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only abo
45、ut half the pressure of the outside air. This is“ vacuum“ packing. During the sterilization process which follows, the cans are subjected to steam or boiling water, with the temperature and duration varying according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, take only 5-10 minutes in boiling
46、water, while meat and fish are cooked at higher temperature for longer periods . After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 , to prevent the contents from becoming too soft. The final stage before dispatch to the wholesale or retail grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. No
47、wadays, however, labeling is often printed on in advance by the can maker and no paper labels are then required. 56 The word“ deteriorate“ can be replaced by _. （ A） become soft （ B） go bad （ C） change taste （ D） turn hard 57 Food deteriorates during storage because _. （ A） necessary chemical preser
48、vatives are totally absent from it （ B） it is infected with yeasts, moulds and bacteria （ C） heat sterilization destroys infections present in it （ D） it isnt fit for storage 58 Vacuum packing is to _. （ A） immerse food in very hot or boiling water （ B） sterilize food （ C） remove air from the cans （
49、 D） subject food to steam or boiling water 59 All of the following are the steps of canning food except _. （ A） cleaning and trimming raw food （ B） sterilizing canned food （ C） blanching vegetables that are to be canned （ D） printing labels and packing the tins into boxes 60 This passage is mainly about _. （ A） food storage （ B） advantages of canned food （ C） the art of canning （ D） canning food Part B Direc
