7、 Games Shows One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the best sellers list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight. This is the pri
8、nciple behind quiz or game shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prize and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in
9、 the U.S. and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the shows producer
10、s, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didnt like the person who won the game, they would turn the show off. Based on his story, a movie under the title Quiz Show is on 40 years later. Charles Van Doren is no longer
11、involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they arent taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humili
12、ating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions. 16 TV can make a beggar world-famous overnight. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 The principle behind quiz or game sho
13、ws is to put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 Prizes and money are usually provided by TV stars and large companies for winners. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 One of the TV personalities, Charles Van Doren was proved
14、 to be cheating by persuading the Shows producers to give him the answers beforehand. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 The huge scandal of cheating in TV games shows was not exposed until 40 years later in the movie Quiz Show. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 Nowadays game show
15、s are not treated as seriously as they used to be. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 Winners of present-day TV shows no longer get money from the shows. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23-30题，每题 1分，共 8分 ) 下面的短文后有 2项测试任务： (1)第 23-26题要求从所给的 6个选项中为第 2-5段每段选择一个最佳标题； (2

Turn on a light, take a photograph, watch TV, search the web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cell phone (手机 ).
17、 The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze (错综复杂 ) of wrong turn. 2 We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edisons success in heating in thin line to white, hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey, US. He did that
18、 on October 22, 1879, and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight (点亮着的 )in an airless space for 45 hours. Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan, even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he tur
19、ned it on, on September 4,1882. 3 “Many of lifes failures“ the supreme innovator said, “are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up“. Before that magical moment in October 1879. Edison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light. But in only t
20、wo cases did his experiments work. 4 No one likes failure, but the smart innovators learn from it. Mark Gumz, the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc. attributes some of the companys successes in technology to understanding failure. His popular phrase is: “You only fail when you quit“. 5 Ov
21、er two centuries, the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence. That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney, the founder of Disneyland, was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in h
22、is office because he could not afford the US $ 1.50 to get his shoes from the repair shop. Pioneering Car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T Car. 6 Failure is harder to bear in todays open, accelerated world. Hardly any innovation w
23、orks the first time. But an impatient society and the media want instant success. When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time, a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records (Geffens company)and the Titanic (the ship that went down) was that the Tita
24、nic had better music. Actually, it wasnt. After four years of losses, Geffen had so many hits (成功的作品 ) he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself. A.

In the past, these journals were available only in print. With the development of electronic publishing, many medical journals now have Web sites on the Inte
28、rnet, and some journals publish only online. A few medical journals, like the Journal of the American Medical Association, are considered general medical journals because they cover many fields of medicine. Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on a particular area of medicine. Med
29、ical journals publish many types of articles. Research articles report the results of research studies on a range of topics varying from the basic mechanisms of diseases to clinical trials that compare outcomes of different treatments. Review articles summarize and analyze the information available
30、on a specific topic based on a careful search of the medical literature.

31、 diagnosing or treating a particular disease. Case conferences and case reports may be published in medical journals to educate physicians about particular illnesses and how to treat at them.

36、ent 35 Feast On Turkey and Good Wishes at Thanksgiving Four weeks ago US children dressed as monsters and asked for sweets. That was Halloween. In a few weeks American houses will be red and green and filled with presents for Christmas. As if all this isnt enough, on Thursday this week, America will
37、 enjoy another festival Thanksgiving. Children will have two days off school, shops will close and houses will be filled with families enjoying mountains of food. Every year, in Gainesville, Florida, all entire class celebrates Thanksgiving together. The class dresses up and puts on plays for their

39、en, nine, said : “The best thing about Thanksgiving, is that when it is finished, it is time to start Christmas. “ But behind the food and the large amount of money spent there is another message. On Thursday evening, Dean and Bens family will make a basket and put it on the table as they eat their
40、evening meal. Each of them will write a list of things that they are thankful for and place the paper in the basket. The family will read the pieces of paper and take time to thank God and each other for providing them with comfortable and happy lives. Thanksgiving is a traditional festival that sta
41、rted in 1621, when the first pilgrims arrived in the US to start new lire. After a hard year, they had a big autumn harvest.

45、ent of electric cars effectively signals the end of the road for the technology, analysts say. General Motor and Honda ceased production of battery, powered cars in 1999, to focus on fuel cell and hybrid electric gasoline engines, which are more attractive to the consumer. Ford has now announced it
46、will do the same. Three years ago, the company introduced the Think City two-seater car and a golf cart called the THINK, or ThinkNeighbor. It hoped to sell 5,000 cars each year and 10,000 carts. But a lack of demand means only about 1,000 of the cars have been produced, and less than 1,700 carts ha
47、ve been sold so far in 2002. “The bottom line is we dont believe that this is the future of environment transport for the mass market. “Tim Holmes of Ford Europe said on Friday. “We feel we have given electric our best shot“. The Think City has a range of only about 53 miles and up to a six-hour bat
48、tery recharge time. General Motors EVI electric vehicle also had a limited range, of about 100 miles. The very expensive batteries also mean electric cars cost much more than petrol-powered alternatives. An electric Toyot-RAV4 EV vehicle costs over $ 42,000 in the US, compared with just $17,000 for
49、the petrol version. Toyota and Nissan are now the only major auto manufacturers to produce electric vehicles. “There is a feeling that battery electric has been given its chance. Ford now has to move on with its hybrid program, and that is what we will be judging them on. “ Roger Higman, a senior transport campaigner at UK Friends of the Earth, told the Environment News Service. Hybrid cars introduced by Toyota and Honda in the
