It isnt that o
16、ur friends are all very busy; it is just that we havent got a television. People think that we are very strange. “ But what do you do in the evening?“ they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly dont spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wif
17、e enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together. Sometimes there are po
18、wer cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lostno television! So they dont know what to do. On such evening our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time. In
19、stead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without television.36 The authors friends like_.（A）sitting and playing chess in the evening（B） attending classes in the evening（C） listening to music in the evening（D）watching television in
20、 the evening37 The couple have not got a television, because_.（A）they are not rich enough（B） they are strange people（C） they enjoy spending evenings in their own ways（D）they dont know what to do when there are power cuts38 The phrase “power cuts“ in the second paragraph means_.（A）the failure to give

23、todays traditional-age college freshmen are “more materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的) “ than at any time in the 17 years of the poll. Not surprising in these hard times, the students major objective is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy o
24、f life. It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting. Interest in teaching, social service and the “altruistic“ fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up. Thats no surprise eith
25、er. A friend of mine ( a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the jobeven before she completed her two-year associate degree. While its true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumu
26、lated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributionsbe they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, educa
27、tion teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs. Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company; no job. How shortsighted in the long run!But the most important argument for a
28、broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom (对讲机) : “Miss Baxter, “ he says, “could you pl
29、ease send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?“From the long-term point of view, thats what education really ought to be about.41 According to the authors observation, college students_.（A）have never been so materialistic as today（B） have never been so interested in the arts（C） have neve
30、r been so financially well off as today（D）have never attached so much importance to moral sense42 The students criteria for selecting majors today have much to do with _.（A）the influences of their instructors（B） the financial goals they seek in life（C） their own interpretations of the courses（D）thei
31、r understanding of the contributions of others43 By saying “While its true that_be they scientific or artistic“ (Lines 1 3 , Para. 5) , the author means that_.（A）business management should be included in educational programs（B） human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speed（C） human i
32、ntellectual development has reached new heights（D）the importance of a broad education should not be overlooked44 Studying the diverse wisdom of others can_.（A）create varying artistic interests（B） help people see things in their right perspective（C） help improve connections among people（D）regulate th
33、e behavior of modern people45 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?（A）Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.（B） Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong.（C） People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.（D）Career seekers should
34、 not focus on immediate interests only. 45 In the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money. Most men worked. Since the man earned the money, he paid the bills. The man made most of the decisions. He was the boss. In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the h
35、ouse. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes and did other housework. In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of the kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman s
36、tays at home and cares for the children and the house. Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities. There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women h
37、ave many more choices. They may choose to marry or to to stay single. They may choose to work or to stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them. A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. Th
38、e husband and wife may choose to have children or they may not. If they have children, the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children. Or she may want to go to work. Men and women now decide these things
39、 together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.46 The followings are true in the traditional marriage except_.（A）men worked to earn money for the family（B） women made most of decisions（C） women stayed at home to care for the children

41、ng except to_.（A）marry or stay single（B） work or stay at home（C） leave their jobs just because they have children（D）have their roles that are comfortable for them49 The following are all now true except_.（A）they may choose to have children（B） the man may take care of the children some of the time（C）
42、 the woman is the most important person in the house（D）the woman may want to go to work50 The passage is mainly about_.（A）The man was the boss in the traditional marriage（B） The changes of male and female roles in marriage（C） The woman is the boss in the marriage now（D）Many Americans still have a tr
43、aditional marriage50 Movies are the most popular form of entertainment for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because th
44、ey have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, the
45、y forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic(浪漫的) and beautiful than in real life. The biggest “dream factories“ are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown a
46、ll over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often cant. People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when th
47、ey see the “good guys“ win in the movies.51 The Americans go to the movies mainly because they want_.（A）to enjoy a god story（B） to experience an exciting life（C） to see the actors and actresses（D）to escape their daily life52 Which of the following is peoples normal response to the movies they watch?
