填空题1. A lot of people believe that television has a harmful effect on children. A few years ago, the same criticisms were made of the cinema. But although child psychologists have spent a deal of time studying this problem, there is not much evidence that television brings about juvenile delinquency. 2. Few people in the modern world share the views of parents a hundred years ago. In those days, writers for children carefully avoided any reference to sex in their books but had no inhibitions about including scenes of violence. These days children are often brought up to think freely about sex but violence is discouraged. Nevertheless, television companies receive a large number of letters every week complain about programs with adults themes being shown at times when a few young children may be awake. Strangely enough, the parents who complain about these programs see no harm in cartoon films for children in which the villain, usually either an animal or a monster, but in some cases a human being, suffers one brutal punishment after another. 3. The fact is that, as every parent knows, different things frighten different children. One child can read a ghost story without having bad dreams while another cannot bear to have the book in his room. In the same way, there is little consistency about the things that terrify adults. Almost everyone has an irrational private fear but while some of us cannot stand the sight of spiders, for example, others are frightened of snakes or rats. 4. The evidence collected suggests, however, that neither the subject nor the action in itself frightens children. The context in which cruelty or violence occurs is much more important. 5. A good guide to what is psychologically healthy for a small child is therefore provided by a television series in which a boy and a girl are supposed to be exploring distant planets with their parents. In each story, they encounter strange monsters and find themselves in dangerous situations but the parents are reassuring and sensible, as a child's parents should be in real life. There is an adult character who is coward and a liar, but both the children are brave and of course every story ends happily. 6. Some people think children should be exposed to the problems of real life as soon as possible. But they cannot help seeing these through new programs. When they are being entertained, the healthiest atmosphere is one in which the hero and heroine are children like themselves who behave naturally and confidently in any situation.

填空题Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.【R1】______There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourages international brotherhood. 【R2】______ One country received its second place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. 【R3】______They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said: "This wasn't hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished." 【R4】______ The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputed end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance.【R5】______A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket.【R6】______An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. 【R7】______ Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game.【R8】______But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism. A. The American players then voted not to accept the silver medals. B. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. C. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. D. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. E. There had been a noisy scene at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. F. The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years. G. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. H. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.

填空题A. substantial damage B. as different C. the terrorist attacks D. the city's economy E. the rest of the nation F. clearly avoidable G. easily noticeable

填空题When we speak of a basic human need, we mean something which is necessary to life, something that we cannot possibly do without.【R1】______Without it we would starve to death. But even if we have plenty of food, but of the wrong kind, our bodies will suffer from a lack of the right food. This is known as malnutrition. In primitive countries, man's food needs are the same as in the more advanced societies like our own.【R2】______Primitive people eat only the foods which can be grown near their homes, whereas we eat foods which are often grown many thousands of miles away from our homes. Primitive people are satisfied with less variety than we are.【R3】______Just think of the different types of meat we eat: beef, mutton, pork, chicken, turkey, goose, and rabbit. We could manage on a diet of one kind of meat, but how monotonous it would become! Even turkey, which most of us eat only at Christmas, would become monotonous if we ate it every day.【R4】______We need other foods like bread and fruit to provide us with the other essential nutrients which we need to keep our bodies healthy. We agree with primitive man that food is a basic need, but we differ from him in our food wants because of the wide variety of food we have available compared with him.【R5】______Take fruit, for example, not only we enjoy the fruits grown in this country, but because of modern methods of transport and food preservation, we can also enjoy the more exotic fruits from countries thousands of miles away, whereas primitive man is limited in his choice to kinds of fruit which actually grow where he lives. 【R6】______Clothing is necessary to regulate the heat of our bodies. Since we live in a temperate climate we need more clothes than people living in tropical countries, but less than people living in arctic conditions. Likewise, our clothing needs to change with the season. 【R7】______ Shelter, the third of our needs, depends upon the climate, the skill of the builder, one's social position and the materials available.【R8】______The three-bedroomed suburban house of the average family would not be grand enough for a very rich family, and yet the modern house contains many of the material comforts which were denied to the kings and queens of old. A. Yet we cannot live on meat alone. B. In summer we need light clothing while in winter we need to muffle ourselves to keep warm. C. We all need food and could manage to live a healthy life on limited types of food. D. Food is a basic human need. E. The simple shelter of the aboriginal would not do for us, and yet it satisfies their needs. F. We have a wider choice than them. G. The same is true of the second of our human needs. H. Therefore we can say that although their needs are like those of our own, their wants are different.

Smartphone Data to Give Early Warning of Earthquakes One day last August, in the early hours of the morning, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake rocked Napa Valley, waking people all around California's famed wine region.【R1】______Once the quake was over, tracker company Jawbone gathered the data in a public graphic, using it to detail the differences in disturbance for life loggers in Berkeley, Oakland and San Jose. Now new research shows that sensors in smartphones can give early warning of an earthquake too. 【R2】______Many of us walk around laden with devices that compile data on our movements and interests - data that seismologists now want to help spot the next major earthquake. At the US Geological Survey, Benjamin Brooks is looking to smartphones rather than finely tuned scientific instruments to predict big quakes. Smartphones come equipped with GPS sensors that can tell where you're standing, give or take a few metres.【R3】______They can also sense a sudden lurch in one direction - the kind of movement that, when logged by many people at once, might be a sign of a seismic shift. "Imagine all of Portland was out at a cafe on a sunny day, and everyone's smartphones were sitting on the table when one of these great earthquakes happened," says Brooks. "The whole city would appear to move." 【R4】______One simulation explored a model magnitude 7.0 earthquake along the Hayward fault, and another used actual location data recorded at scientific stations during Japan's devastating 2011 megaquake. Both scenarios suggested that data from around 5000 people would be enough to spot the beginnings of a major earthquake, leaving about 5 seconds to warn major population centres that hadn't yet felt its effects. When an earthquake is coming, a few seconds of warning can be crucial.【R5】______"You get out in front of the situation and inform people before any ill effects," says Brooks. Smart sensing This isn't seismologists' first foray into smart phones. Two years ago, researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena came out with an app, Crowdshake, which monitors a phone's accelerometer.【R6】______Until then, Brooks and his colleagues plan to keep putting smartphones to the test. In an upcoming pilot in Chile, about 250 phones will be stripped of their standard GPS cards and placed in boxes around the country, where they'll lie in wait to record the next big earthquake. Others have found ingenious ways to tap into human activity to locate quakes. 【R7】______ Whenever there's a sudden surge of traffic to their website, they look at where visitors are accessing it from to get a sense of where the earthquake is and how strong it might be.【R8】______Within a couple of minutes, they have enough information to publish their first unconfirmed reports of the quake. "The internet is the nervous system of the planet," says Remy Bossu, secretary general at the centre. "If we want to make rapid earthquake information available to the public and authorities, we have to focus on the earthquakes that matter for them." A. At the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center, seismologists rely on the internet to pinpoint where earthquakes are happening around the globe. B. Many were wearing fitness trackers. C. Unfortunately, with GPS data it isn't as simple as building an app: smartphone manufacturers don't currently provide access to the raw data required. D. While Jawbone's post didn't inspire confidence in the privacy of users' data, it did make a point: humans can be useful sensors. E. On an ordinary day, these are what allow us to map our way to a store or geolocate our tweets. F. Fire-station doors could start to raise, gas pipelines could automatically shut off, and city residents could jump to safety under a nearby desk. G. They also monitor Twitter for relevant keywords. H. Brooks and his colleagues have now tested what crowd sourced GPS data might look like in a real earthquake.
