单选题Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made. Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most people"s lives. It alters people"s ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains (维持) modern life. Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate (提高) people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists. The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging. Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.

单选题{{B}}Passage 3{{/B}} Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking. It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24～44. Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person's smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situation is somewhat different for women. (80) {{U}}There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. {{/U}}.These more highly .educated women tend to smoke more heavily.

单选题I was the "I can"t" child-the poster child for the word "can"t. "Whatever my mother told or asked me to do was immediately 1 by my whining, "I caaaaan"t." 2 , very few tasks or goals that I set out to do were ever completed. One evening, my mother showed me into the family room, where she was reading an article in the TV Guide. "I want you to read this article," Mother began. "It"s about Marlo Thomas. She tells how a short poem that she was forced to learn by her father 3 her life. She went from saying "I can"t" to "I can!" I took the small 4 from Mother and looked down at the glossy pages. There was Marlo, looking pretty and adorable. Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of: a simple one entitled "I Can." "I want you to memorize that poem," Mother said firmly. "Mamaaaaa," I belly-ached. "I 5 learn that poem. It"s too loooong." "It"s not too long and yes, you can learn it. I want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow." I lowed my shoulders, turned and walked my way back to my bedroom slowly with the magazine loosely held in my small right hand. With a 6 heart, I climbed onto my bed and began my task. "Can"t is a word that is enemy to 7 ," I began. I repeated the line. I repeated it again and again 8 it held firm in my heart. "An enemy ambush to break your will into pieces... " I continued the process until the following evening, when I proudly recite the poem that has continued to be my motto. Saying "I can" helped me to survive the 9 moments of my life. Saying "I can" encouraged me to 10 things I would have otherwise seen out of my reach. A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will support me to seventy-seven. Maybe even farther.
