28、owed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 When TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying p
29、ictures of dead or wounded victims because they dont want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they “may find some of these scenes disturbing“, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes the TV cameramen have
30、 no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them no matter how gruesome and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer. Today, the demand for their work is rising, the explosio
31、n of satellite broadcasting and 24hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and TV news agencies such as Reuters and WTN have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “
32、freelance“ TV cameramen. These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured, in the course of the job, the TV
33、 company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own. “TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books,“ explains Nick Gowing, once foreign editor for Britains Channel 4 news
34、 and now a BBC presenter. “By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk,“ he says. 31 The main idea of the first paragraph is that _. （ A） it is the duty of TV cameramen to record horrifying scenes （ B） TV cameram
35、ens job is extremely dangerous and emotionally taxing （ C） TV programs are reducing the use of horrible pictures of death and wound （ D） it is a requirement by work for TV cameramen to disregard peoples wound 32 In the last sentence of the first paragraph, “taxing“ most probably means _. （ A） depres
36、sing （ B） satisfying （ C） demanding （ D） encouraging 33 TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to _. （ A） save expense and avoid risks （ B） get first-hand information and pictures （ C） look for pictures that are of fine qualities （ D） buy pictures which are the most stimulating to the
37、 senses 34 According to the passage, the freelance cameramen _. （ A） are tied to many TV news agencies （ B） have better skills than other cameramen （ C） have to take tremendous risks in the course of work （ D） need to contract our risks of work for TV companies 35 It is implied in the passage that （
38、 A） TV cameramen should be given greater choices of work （ B） TV cameramen are a special group of people who enjoy horrifying pictures （ C） TV cameramen have to witness disasters and killing whether they like them or not （ D） the development of TV resulted in the growing demand for TV cameramens wor
39、k 35 People can be addicted to different things e. g. alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such addition are compulsive, i. e. they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational impossible
40、to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from t
41、he things they buy. There is special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people search for sales, low prices and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things they dont need just only because they are cheap. They believe that they are helping their budget
42、s, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winners. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for things that they do and the real one. Of course, it is not only scientists who
43、understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business: they consider peoples needs for love, power, or influence, their basic value, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.
44、Psychologists can often use a method called “behavior therapy“ to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money. 36 The word “compulsive“ ( Line 2, Para. 1 ) probably means _. （ A） necessary （ B） compulsory （ C） c
45、omplicated （ D） fearful 37 According to the passage, the greatest pleasure of crazy shopping for a compulsive spender is _. （ A） to get things they want （ B） to meet their strong psychological need （ C） to spend a lot of money （ D） to meet their basic needs 38 According to the passage, compulsive ba
46、rgain hunters constantly search for the lowest possible prices _. （ A） because they feel satisfied if they spend less money than others （ B） because they have money problem （ C） because they like to show off their success in getting things for less money （ D） because they want to save money to help
47、their budget 39 According to the passage, which of the following is true? （ A） All people only buy things they need. （ B） Both business people and advertisers increase sales through using psychology. （ C） Scientists understand psychology better than business people. （ D） Compulsive spenders can neve
48、r get any help to solve their problems with money. 40 What does the passage mainly discuss? （ A） The use of the psychology of spending money in business. （ B） A special psychology of bargaining. （ C） A method to help compulsive spenders to solve the problem of money. （ D） The psychology of money-spe
49、nding habits. 40 If the population of the Earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet. By the middle of the 21 century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded con
