17、 and the more they watch the less they remember. They regard television purely【 C1】 _entertainment, resent programs that【 C2】 _on them and are surprised that anybody should【 C3】_the medium seriously. Far from being over-excited by programs, they are mildly【 C4】 _with the whole thing. These are the m
18、ain conclusions from a new study of children and television. The author-Cardiac Cullingford【 C5】 _that the modern child is a【 C6】 _viewer. The study suggests that there is little【 C7】 _in the later hours. All 11-year-olds have watched programs after midnight. Apart from the obvious waste of time【 C8
19、】 _, it seems that all this viewing has little effect. Cullingford says that children can recall few details. They can remember exactly which programs they have seen but they can【 C9】 _explain the elements of a particular plot. Recall was in“【 C10】 _proportion o the amount they had watched.“ It is p

But again, they【 C16】 _strongly against high-pressure advertisements that attempt openly to【 C17】 _them. On the other hand, they are not【 C18】 _involved in the programs.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Why do students cut classes so frequently? I can cite the immedia
28、te causes ,but I first want to note that they can cut because they are allowed to. They cut because of the climate of acceptance that comes from our belief that responsibility can be developed only when one is free, free even to act against personal best interests. That this is a misapplied belief i
29、n this case can be easily demonstrated. When substantial numbers of students do not attend, classroom learning is depreciated, the morale of both students and teacher suffers, and academic standards are compromised (受损 ). Students who miss classes unnecessarily are hurting more than themselves. They
30、 are undermining what colleges and universities are all about. Students cut for two main reasons. They have things to do that appear more important than the class, or they wish to avoid what they fear will be painful consequences if they attend. In regard to the first, nursing an illness or attendin
31、g family weddings are good excuses for missing a class. But other excuses- the demands of outside jobs, social engagements (including recovering from the hangover) ,completing assignments for other courses- are, at best ,questionable. The other main reason is more disturbing and perhaps less well re
32、cognized. Once, I asked several classes what they most disliked about the way courses are taught, and the answer was plain-anything that produced sustained tension or anxiety, I believe cutting has something to do with this kind of aversion. Cutting class is a form of students protest against a cert
33、ain teaching style or professional inadequacy. This kind of response feeds on itself, as frequent absences make attending even more threatening. But what accounts for frequent cutting where the teacher tries to make the material interesting, knows the students by name, and approaches them with respe
34、ct and help.* I simply tell my students: attend my classes regularly or drop the course. That is the rule. 46 The word“ this“ ( Line 4, Para 1 ) refers to _. （ A） the immediate causes of the students absence from classes （ B） teachers tolerance of the students who rarely show up in classes （ C） the
35、authors belief that students are permitted to cut classes （ D） the belief that freedom is essential in cultivating a sense of responsibility 47 Why do university students so often cut classes? （ A） They want to avoid painful feelings brought by the professors. （ B） They are advised to rest until the
36、y recover from their illnesses. （ C） The inadequate allowances they get force them to take part-time jobs. （ D） They are involved in social engagements. 48 The word“ aversion“ ( Line 4, Para 3 ) means _. （ A） response （ B） plainness （ C） excuse （ D） dislike 49 What is the result of the students freq
37、uent cutting? （ A） They attach less importance to classroom learning. （ B） They have to lower their academic standards. （ C） They are involved in more social activities. （ D） They are likely to avoid more classes. 50 What is the authors attitude towards students who often cut classes? （ A） Indiffere
38、nt. （ B） Regretful. （ C） Negative. （ D） Cautious. 50 President Coolidges statement, “The business of America is business,“ still points to an important truth today-that business institutions have more prestige in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do
39、business institutions possess this great prestige? One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business in
40、stitutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values, such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work, are protected. Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly of power
41、. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business that treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the custo
42、mers dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves. A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government; even though gov
43、ernment leaders are elected by the people while business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important as, or even more important than, democracy in preserving freedom. Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Comp
44、etition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea o
45、f equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic idea of inherited privilege. 51 The statement“ The business of America is business“ probably means“ _ “. （ A） the business institutions in America are concerned with commerce （ B） business problems are of great importance to the American governm
46、ent （ C） business is of primary concern to Americans （ D） america is a great power in world business 52 Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only _. （ A） when given equality of opportunity （ B） through doing business （ C） by protecting their individual freedom （ D） by way of
47、 competition 53 Who can benefit from business competition? （ A） Honest businessmen. （ B） Both businessmen and their customers. （ C） People with ideals of equality and freedom. （ D） Both business institutions and government. 54 Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that governm
48、ent is characterized by _. （ A） Its absolute control of power （ B） Its function in preserving personal freedom （ C） Its role in protecting basic American values （ D） Its democratic way of exercising leadership 55 It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes _. （ A） Americans are more
49、 ambitious than people in other countries （ B） in many countries success often depends on ones social status （ C） american businesses are more democratic than those in other countries （ D） businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America 55 The picnics, speeches, and parades of todays Labor Day were all part of the first celebration, held in New York City in 1882.
