15、 the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or
16、not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. “ “Drink Root Beer. “ “Fill up with Pacific Gas. “ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now !“ The beginning
17、 of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. (76)The bus driver has a style of driving and it s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is part
18、icularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food alw
19、ays makes bus rides more interesting. But: youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The
20、 seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. (77) By now youve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests-even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the fight time. There are just no more ways to sit. 16 Accordi

25、ng ships. Life was hard for both passengers and crew. (78) 17th century sailing ships were small and rolled heavily in rough seas, so most of the passengers were seasick. There were no toilets, and the spaces below deck where passengers had to stay during gales were often not more than 5 foot high.
26、Water was scarce and the little water they got was brown and smelt terrible. Food was a problem, too-there was only salted meat, ships biscuits and cheese, but the cheese was so hard that sailors often made buttons out of it for their jackets and trousers. There were no vegetables or fruit, so the p
27、eople on board often fell ill. The sailors, however, were a bit better off than the passengers. They each had a bottle of beer a day, and they needed. The work they had to do was hard and dangerous. (79) Courage was needed, for the heavy sails had to be set and taken down in all kinds of weather, an
28、d quite often sailors were swept overboard in a gale. Almost the worst thing about the voyages was the time they took up to 70 days for the journey across the Atlantic.

33、e excited 25 No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies
34、like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these prese
35、nt detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or cite news. Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational“, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis
36、 of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television. Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. (80) A few newspapers supp
37、ort extremist groups on the far fight and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced pict
38、ure.
