填空题A mother Just think you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children to read any book they wanted to without first checking its contents? Would you take our children to see any film without first finding out whether it is suitable for them? Most of you might answer "no". Then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children from what you consider to be undesirable influences. In other words, by acting as a censor yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship. A driver Of course children need protection and it is the parents' responsibility to provide it. But what about adults? Aren't they old enough to decide what is good for them? Aren't they have a good sense to solve their own problems? Different people have different tastes and interests. Why bother to limit and control the way people feel and think? An actor It is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. The so called censorship is no more than a few people's subjective decisions. How can they distinguish between works of art and others? A government official Where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views—often far more liberal than a large section of the public. In fact, some of the books or films we permitted are even considered "inappropriate" by a part of them. And for those books, plays and films which come before the censor, I would say the great proportion of them are very far from being "works of art." A teacher Just imagine what disorder there would be if we lived in a society without laws! Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good. One of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. When censorship laws are relaxed, unscrupulous people are given a license to produce almost anything in the name of "art". Society would really be the poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.StatementsA. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize.B. Censorship is for the benefit of children.C. Censorship helps to maintain social order.D. Censorship is not consistent with the ideal of democracy.E. Censors do not have the right to judge works of art.F. Censorship interferes adults' freedom.G. Works of art is something beyond censors' understandin

{{B}}Peter:{{/B}} My favorite childhood play area was the back
garden. Back in the days when I was growing up on a large housing estate, the
"goals" would be a pair of garage doors or two jackets laid out in the garden. I
would spend hours kicking a ball about with my dad, learning how to control,
dribble or kick it.{{B}}Simon:{{/B}} The playground was quite
small. The floor was covered with flat bricks and there were many that were
cracked or broken or missing, and a few weeds struggled through. It was totally
enclosed on one side by the school and on the other by high brick walls. It was
more like a prison yard--on top of the walls was a layer of concrete into which
pieces of broken glass had been stuck. After school was finished my friends and
I would climb a lamppost outside the school and sit on top of the wall, slowly
breaking off the bits of glass.{{B}}Alan:{{/B}} I come from an
area of terraced houses, pavements and streets. There were no gardens. My first
school was Prince's Street Primary and the room in which I received my first
lessons had large, folding glass doors that opened onto a small playground that
had grass, bushes and flowers. My amazement at seeing these items, which are
normal to most of the world, has stayed with me all my
life.{{B}}Nick:{{/B}} I was strictly forbidden from the obvious
playground--a long, overgrown ditch running through waste ground, mainly built
to take away the rain. It was irresistible to us local school children. Its
charm, compared with the surrounding tennis courts, football pitches and
farmland, was purely because it was out of bounds. That area was truly where I
grew up, more than in the rest of the little town's correct and neat suburbia,
where my house was.{{B}}Julie:{{/B}} Until I was twelve I was
brought up on airforce camps and each camp had a small playground in the middle
of the houses. It was always a great meeting place and I remember sitting with
my friends on the swings many evenings until dark. You would often go out and
swing for hours until someone else came out. I always liked
swinging.{{I}} Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the

填空题Catherine
填空题Hadley: If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between, smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, and then you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it. Randy: Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It is almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it. Sampson: The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense! Rowley: Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether. Bernice: Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better than a cup of coffee. It is so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us. Statements A. Smoking brings many psychological benefits. B. Tobacco is an important source of income to the government. C. Smoking is sure to cause diseases. D. It's a short sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money. E. The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful. F. The tobacco industry makes high quality advertisement for smoking. G. It's doubtful whether there is link between smoking and cancer.

which five people ore asked about what they think of themselves. For Questions
61 to 65, match the name of each speaker (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A
to G) given below. Jane
Smith: Well, I know I'm good at my job, at least my
boss calls me hard-working, conscientious, efficient. As for when I look at
myself in a mirror as you sometimes do in the privacy of your own bedroom..,
then I see someone a bit different. And that's probably my main fault I should
say... My office is always in order, but my fiat! Well, you'd have to see it to
believe it. Iris Bonner: I
think the question is irrelevant. You shouldn't be asking what I think of
myself, but what I think of the state of this country. And this country is in a
terrible mess. lt's law and order that need. I say, get rid of these things who
call themselves Socialist Workers. I'm the sort of ordinary decent person who
wants to bring law and order back to this country.
Tommy Finrh: Well I'm an easy-going person
really... unless of course you wind me up. You know, I mean you have to live for
yourself, don't you? And think of your mates. I don't get much sympathy with
those who are always thinking of causes, civil rights and all that. I mean..,
this is a free country, isn't it? What do we want to fight for civil rights for!
We've got them. Charles Dimmak:
I'm retired, you know. Used to be an army officer. And I think I've kept
myself respectable and dignified the whole of my life. I've tried to help those
who depended on me. I've done my best. Maybe I'm a bit unreasonably enthusiastic
about organization and discipline. Serf-discipline comes first and all that sort
of things. But basically I'm a good man... fond of my wife and family.
Arthur Fuller: Well... when I was young
I was very shy. At times I was very unhappy, especially when I was sent to
boarding school at seven. I didn't make close friends till quite late in life...
till I was about fifteen. Then I became quite good at being by myself. I had no
one to rely on and no one to ask for advice. That made me
independent...
Statements A. Everyone
lives for himself, so leave the other things to God. B.
Socialist Workers should fight for the civil rights. C. I live
a double life. D. The lonely childhood made me a self-reliant
person. E. Social problems should be given more concern than a
citizen's self-criticism. F. Self-discipline and a kind heart
make an honorable life. G. People with sense of organization
and discipline are unreasonable.
填空题Anne:
I really don"t think that it"s moral to target children with advertisements, as they are not yet able to distinguish advertising from actual programming in the way adults can. This means that advertising aimed at children is misleading and unfair. It is also clearly effective, as otherwise advertisers would not spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year targeting children who are not yet able to resist their sales pitch.
John:
Advertising aimed at children brings negative social consequences, as much of it is for food and drinks that are unhealthy. Encouraging naive children to consume so much fatty, sugary and salty food is morally wrong because it creates overweight, unhealthy youngsters, with bad eating habits that will be with them for life. Society may pay a high price in terms of the extra medical care such children will eventually require.
Lily:
I think banning advertisements is a severe restriction upon freedom of speech. Companies should be able to tell the public about any legal products, or innovation will be restricted and new companies will find it hard to market their products successfully in the face of established rivals. Children also have a human right lo receive information from a wide range of sources and make up their own minds about it.
Ross:
Children naturally like foods that are rich in fats and sugar. They give them the energy they need to play energetically and grow healthily. It is true that eating only such foods is bad for people, but this is a problem of bad parenting rather than the fault of advertising. If advertising to children were banned, then governments would not be able to use this means of promoting healthy eating.
Julia:
Children are not naive innocents, but clever consumers who can distinguish at a very young age between advertisements and programs, and understand that advertisements can be misleading. This essential learning process is, in fact, developed through exposure to advertisements. It is also assisted by responsible parenting that does not just leave children alone in front of the television, but spends some time watching with them and discussing what is seen.
Now match the name of each person to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
A. Parents" bad lifestyle influences their children.
B. It"s not right to ban advertisements.
C. Don"t blame advertisements for kids" bad eating habits.
D. Children are easily misled by advertisements.
E. Watching TV advertisements is a process of learning for kids.
F. It"s time to ban advertisements aimed at children.
G. Advertisements aimed at children may bring trouble to society.

填空题Article One A heart attack is no joke, but the old adage that "laughter is the best medicine" appears to be true when it comes to protecting against heart attacks, according to research released on November 15. People with heart disease are 40 per cent less likely to laugh when faced with difficulty, a team of very serious researchers at the University of Maryland in Baltimore discovered. They studied the "humor responses" of 300 people, half of whom had had a heart attack or had undergone bypass surgery. The study found that people with heart disease are less likely to recognize humor or use it to get out of uncomfortable situations. They laughed less even in positive situations, and displayed more anger and hostility. Therefore, the recommendation for a healthy heart may one day be: exercise, eat right and laugh a lot.Article Two. Bridge aids health. If you want to stay healthy, play bridge. A new study by a University of California-Berkeley researcher indicates that playing contract bridge leaves people with higher numbers of immune cells. This could be the first evidence that the human cortex— which is subject to voluntary control—can play a role in stimulating the immune system.Article Three Marriage helps health. There is strong evidence that living in a committed partnership is good for both mental and physical health. Married people, men in particular, live longer and enjoy better health than their divorced, widowed or never-married peers. Married women rate their physical and emotional health higher than single, divorced or widowed women, especially when they get older, says Linda Waite, a sociology professor at the University of Chicago and co-author of The Case for Marriage. Marriage by itself is no magic shield against the world' s ills. It' s living in a loving and supportive environment that counts, especially if you are a woman.Article Four In the first rays of the morning sun, Yu Yanni, forty something, begins her morning exercises in a small park beside the Jianguomen flyover in Beijing. She has jogged about one kilometer from her home. Now she kicks her legs and bends her waist before doing body-building exercises with a bevy of other women in the park. "We gather here spontaneously," said Yu. "By jumping, stretching arms and legs and wrestling the body, we feel 10 years younger than our age." As living standards rise, Chinese are paying more attention to their physical condition. As Yu said that sporting has become part of their daily lives. They are engaging in a variety of physical activities: martial arts, Qigong, Taiji, table tennis, jogging, body-building and even disco dancing. Article Five Organic food aids health. Over the past few years, people seem to have become fed up with being told what they can' t eat. They also have followed too many diets that don' t work. They want to hear positive messages about the health benefits of food. They are understandable worried about some food-industry practices and problems. I buy as much fresh organic food as possible. I believe that future studies will show that eating organically will make us healthier. I also enjoy them more and feel strongly about supporting the organic farmer' s cause. Even when I can't get to a favorite local market, I still buy easy-to-cook fresh ingredients, such as good olive oil, unsalted butter and cheese from my favorite supplier. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Stimulating the immune system helps health.[B] Loving and good environment is very important.[C] Sportsmen are more healthier.[D] A good diet appeals to people.[E] Work less, play more.[F] We should use humor to get out of uncomfortable situations.[G] Physical exercises aids health.

from a book in which five people talked about climate. For questions 61 to 65,
match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (a toG. given
below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.
Jennifer: The greenhouse effect might
be causing the change, but it's a cycle that's been tracked for about a hundred
years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling. And this is only
affecting a small part of the world. People talk about greenhouse effect because
they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world.
Don't be as silly as them. Kac:
Spring just hits here, too. It's so nice—windows open, the fresh air of
changing seasons just lights me up. When I was younger this was the season for
walking through the melting snow and ice, across roadsides, through square acre
forests among the fields, I got so excited to be out in the wild. It's tough to
be in the city this time of year. Maybe I'll go camping soon!
Soscia: In the city you don't have seasons.
Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, and wet roads are not
inconvenient for you because you can move around in your car. Summer's heat is
no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn. The
colors of the city don't change because nature is not powerful enough to change
them as she changes the color of woods. Winter snow leaves nothing white but
muddy roads. Harno: Snow in
Georgia is a funny thing. We have been having 24 hours weather news on the TV
for the past week, just because there is a threat of snow. Schools have closed
based on these predictions, and all we got was rain. But the rule is that if it
sticks to the ground, school is canceled. It would be a great excuse to get the
day off. People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread— I don't know
why, but they do. When I was growing up here we used to get one or two big
snowfalls a year, but there has not been any for the last few. Damn global
warming. Macland: It's been
so nice. I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool
autumn season in November... In February it's like a warm period that's been
getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by
the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once, but anyone can
survive(生存)those snowstorms, since we all know they'll be gone in a few
days.
Statements A. Future
is bright. B. Man conquers nature. C. We can
see the effect of the pollution on the climate. D. Human beings
have to struggle hard against weather. E. The call of nature is
there. F. He hates spring. G. Sometimes we
worry too much about nothing.
