14、d D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 Television has opened windows in everybodys life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a batt
15、le. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before
16、an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunately, televisions influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world: that TV advertisements lie to sell
17、products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations“ are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and
18、interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures: to read a book that requires thinking: to listen to a teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. Thats
19、the time it takes on the screen. 16 In the past, many young people_. （ A） knew the effects of war （ B） went in for politics （ C） liked to save the wounded in wars （ D） were willing to be soldiers 17 Now with TV people can_. （ A） discuss politics at an information center （ B） show more interest in po

They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men f
23、or the same work. Some people say men have more duties than women. A married man is thought to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for them to be paid more. Some are even against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the ho
24、me and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time jobs, they will be unable to do the things they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up children. Women who disagree say they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes the
25、m to fill and to have freedom to choose between work and home life, or a mixture of the two.

Al
30、ready today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are facing with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem.

31、 their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction(失灵 ). Obviously, there would be no point in investing(投入 ) in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own intern
32、al computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.
