2.Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all.

People think a great deal of them, so【33】so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are【34】that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors.

    Media and Current Events
    The media can impact current events.As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s,I remember experiencing the events related to the People's Park that were occurnng on campus.Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV.I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media.I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage.This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.
    Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day.People gather more and more of their impressions from representations.Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village,or what one writer calls the electronic city.Consider the information that television brings into your home every day.Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone.These media extend your consciousness and your contact.For example,the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earth- quake focused on"live action"such as the fires or the rescue efforts.This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster.Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy.CNN reported events as they happened.This coverage was distributed worldwide.Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.
    In 1992,many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters.This event was triggered by the verdict(裁定)in the Rodney King beating.We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments,and most people,who had seen the video of this beating,could not understand how the jury(陪审团)was able to acquit(宣布无罪)the policemen involved.Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events.This can have harmful results,as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles.By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading,"Can we all get along?"By Saturday,television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace.The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools.Because of that,many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding(展开)on television.The real healing , of course , will take much longer , but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process.

    The term"electronic city"in Paragraph 2 refers to______.
    A:Los Angeles
    B:San Francisco
    C:Berkeley
    D:Earth

    答案:D
    解析:
    文章标题为“Media and Current Events",而且第一段第一句提到“The media can impactcurrent events."随后又从正、反两个方面说明了媒体对时事的影响。由此可知,本篇文章最恰当的标题应为媒体对时事的影响,因此选择B项。
    在第一段第三句“Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press andon TV.”中," these events”指的是上一句中的在Berkeley校园中发生的事。由此可知,发生在Berkeley校园中的事件只有部分被国家媒体报道。
    根据第二段第三句“Television and telephone communications are linking people to a globalvillage , or what one writer calls the electronic city.”可知,电视和电话把全球的人们联系在一起,成为一个地球村,有作家称之为电子城。由“village”的修饰词“global”不难推测出该电子城指的就是地球。
    根据第三段第二、三句可知,1992年的事件是由Rodney King被打案中的裁决引发的,当公众能够从媒体获取信息时,就会作出自己的判断,进而对陪审团裁定涉事警员无罪感到不满。这才导致了事件恶化,直至最后演变为暴动。
    第二段主要表明,电视与电话使全球人民的联系更为紧密:1989年的视频播报再现了旧金山地震时的火灾与救援现场;电视媒体对伊拉克战争进行了及时报道;CNN媒体让世界各地的人们对媒体事件耳闻目睹。第三段则主要表明,1992年的媒体报道引发了暴乱。由此可知,媒体报道是把双刃剑,对时事既有好的影响,也有坏的影响。

    Messages From the Media

    1.The weather forecast,a story about the candidates in an election,and movie reviews are examples of messages from the media. A communication medium, of which the plural(复数的)form is media,is a means of communicating a message.Examples of media are television,radio,newspapers, books and the telephone.The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media.
    2.It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media. Every day we get hundreds of them. Think about advertisements,for example,we see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go.Advertisements are important messages,even though they are sometimes annoying. They help us compare and evaluate products.
    3.Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think for a moment,about how you learn about local news and events.Do you depend on other people or the media?What about international news?What is the most important source of information for you? People who are asked this question usually answer,"Television".
    4.Think of all the messages you received today.Perhaps you read a newspaper during break-fast,or maybe you read advertisements on billboards(露天广告牌)on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather forecast or the sports news on the radio this morning?Right now you are getting information through a very important medium of mass communication一a book.
    5.We use the information we get from radio,television,newspapers,and other media to make decisions and form opinions.That is why the mass media are so important. Editorials and articles in newspapers help us decide how to vote,consumer reports on television help us decide how to spend our money,and international news on the radio makes us think and form opinions about questions of war and peace.

    For most people television is the most important______.
    A:sports news
    B:our decisions and opinions
    C:mass communication
    D:our messages

    第一篇

    Gross National Happiness

    In the last century,new technology improved the lives of many people in many countries.However,one
    country resisted these changes.High in the Himalayan mountains of Asia,the kingdom of Bhutan remained
    separate. Its people and Buddhist(佛教)culture had not been affected for almost a thousand years. Bhutan,
    however,was a poor country.People died at a young age.Most of its people could not read,and they did not
    know much about the outside world.Then,in 1972,a new ruler named King Jigme Singye Wangchuck de-
    cided to help Bhutan to become modern,but without losing its traditions.
    King Wangchuck looked at other countries for ideas.He saw that most countries measured their progress
    by their Gross National Product(GNP).The GNP measures products and money. When the number of products
    sold increases,people say the country is making progress.King Wangchuck had a different idea for Bhutan.
    He wanted to measure his country's progress by people's happiness.If the people's happiness increased,
    the king could say that Bhutan was making progress.To decide if people were happier,he created a measure
    called Gross National Happiness(GNH).
    GNH is based on certain principles that create happiness.People are happier if they have health care,
    education,and jobs.They are happier when they live in a healthy,protected environment. They are happier
    when they can keep their traditional culture and customs.Finally,people are happier when they have a
    good,stable government.
    Now there is some evidence of increased GNH in Bhutan.People are healthier and are living longer.
    More people are educated and employed.Twenty-five percent of the land has become national parks,and the
    country has almost no pollution. The Bhutanese continue to wear their traditional clothing and follow their
    ancient Buddhist customs.Bhutan has also become a democracy.In 2008,King Wangchuck gave his power
    to his son.Although the country still had a king,it held its first democratic elections that year. Bhutan had
    political parties and political candidates for the first time.Finally,Bhutan has connected to the rest of the
    world through television and internet.
    Bhutan is a symbol for social progress.Many countries are now interested in Bhutan's GNH.These
    countries are investigating their own ways to measure happiness.They want to create new policies that take
    care of their people,cultures,and land.
    Brazil may be the next country to use the principles of GNH.Brazilian leaders see the principles of GNH
    as a source of inspiration.Brazil is a large country with a diverse population.If happiness works as a measure
    of progress in Brazil,perhaps the rest of the world will follow.

    According to GNH,people are happier if they____________.
    A:have new technology
    B:can change their religion
    C:have a good,stable government
    D:have more money

    答案:C
    解析:
    由文章第一段倒数第一句“a new ruler named King Jigme Wangchuck decided…” 可知,Jigme Singye Wangchuck是一位国王,故选A。
    由文章第一段倒数第一句“King Jigme Singye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to be- come modem,but without losing its traditions”可知,国王Jigme Singye Wangchuck 决定要使自己 的国家实现现代化外还要保留自己的传统习俗,故选B。
    由文章第二段第四句“When the number ofproducts sold increases,peoples say the country is making progress.”可知,对于用GNP(国民生产总值)衡量进步的国家而言,当生产的产品销 售量增加时,这个国家才算是有所进步,故选D。
    由文章的第三段内容可知,CNH是以能够产生幸福感的事物衡量的。A、C、D三项的 内容都不包含在这些标准之中,故选C。
    由文章倒数第二段的内容可知,许多国家都对不丹王国的国民幸福总值(GNH)很感兴 趣,并在研究各自衡量幸福的标准。这些国家并未采用GNH,也没有通力合作,形成国民幸福 指数的指标;同时也没效仿不丹和巴西的实例,故选D。第二篇 本篇文章列举了人类向大自然的生物学习所发明的实例,从而说明了仿生学在生活中的重 要性。

    C

    D

    解析:
    推理题。最后一段提到“Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need.”,如果一个国家的大部分人都有一台电视机,那么电视机将有可能成为一种基本的需要。B选项过于绝对,因此只能选C选项。

    D

    第三段,作者谈到在Western和symphony两者间选择时,作者相信大多数人会选择前者,而作者自己也青睐Westerns and private eyes,随后又谈到虽然绝大部分人都喜欢娱乐,而不是被告知消息或接受激励,但电视节目也不应只迎合大众口味,而忽视整个国家的需要。从中可得出,作者的品味和大众一样,只是自己能从更高层次认识到某些问题,选项C正确。

    [ C] we received calls from people down the road two years ago.

    [D] people called us for school vacancies two years in advance.


    正确答案:D
    42.D该题为释义题。根据后一句“We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters.”可知,有些家长会提前向私立学校咨询孩子入学的事情。因此可以推知“We have people calling us for spots two years down the road.”意为“有人提前两年就打电话咨询学校是否会有名额。”,故选D。

But (3) ______ everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about (4) ______ taxation should be arranged.  In most countries, a direct tax on (5) ______, which is called income tax, (6) ______. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows (7) ______ as the taxpayer’s income grows. In some countries, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent!  But countries with direct taxation nearly (8) ______ have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops (9) ______ really have to pay the duties, in the (10) ______ of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is obtained but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it.[A] nor     [B] will     [C] form[D] if      [E] exists    [F] who[G] people    [H] larger    [I] always[J] that     [K] though    [L] periodically[M] would    [N] persons   [O] how

    正确答案: 1.M would。考 点:助动词。空格前为主语it,后面有系动词be,故该处应填入助动词。根据上下文语境和句中without it可知此句描述的情况与现状相反,需要使用虚拟语气,因此主句谓语部分由would+动词原形组成,故选择M项。
    2.A nor。考 点:连词。该句为否定句,且空格前后为并列成分,故应使用连接词。句意:如果没有征税就没有钱来支付保护我们的士兵和警察,也不可能有钱来支付政府公务员。这个句子是两个否定句相连,应使用连接词组not...nor,故选择A项。
    3.K though。考 点:连词。该句前后存在语义转折,含有让步关系,故应填入表示让步的连词。该句表达的是,虽然每个人都知道征税是必要的,但不同的人对征税怎样安排持有不同的观点。句中的but是明显的转折性标志,故选K项though有让步转折的意思。
    4.O how。考 点:连词。分析句子可知,该处缺少表达方式的连词。由上下文语意可知,此处想强调不同的人对征税的方式有不同观点,所以应选择how来引导介词about后的宾语从句,表示方式,故选O项。
    5.N persons。考 点:名词。分析句子可知,介词on后面接的是征税的方式或对象,故应填入名词。在大多数国家,存在按人头直接征收的income tax,即个人所得税,四个选项中只有persons能表达“个人”的意思,故选择N项。
    6.E exists。考 点:动词。分析句子成分可知,该句缺少谓语,故应填入动词。根据上下文的意思,此处想表达在大多数国家存在个人所得税。exist表示“存在”。故选择E项。
    7.H larger。考 点:形容词。空格前grows相当于系动词be,而且空格修饰的是the percentage of tax,故应填入形容词。这句话要强调的是随着纳税人收入的增加,需纳税的比例也在增长。和percentage搭配表示增长,应使用large,该处表示的是比例变大,故使用其比较级larger,所以选择H项。
    8.I always。考 点:副词。分析句子成分可知,该句成分完整,所以考虑填入副词。征收直接税的国家几乎也都征收间接税。此处需要一个表示“总是”含义的副词,故always“总是,一直”,符合句意。选项中副词还有periodically“周期地,定期地”,但不符合原文内容,应排除,故选择I项。
    9.F who。考 点:连接词。分析句子结构可知,该句为强调句型,并缺少连接词。此题考查It is…who/that…强调句型结构。联系上下文,该部分强调的是the men and women,表示人,所以使用who作连接词,故选择F项。
    10.C form。考 点:名词。句意:那些在商店购买进口商品的男男女女须要通过高价格的形式来纳税。所以此处缺少的是表示方式的连接词组。in the form of表示“以……的形式”符合句意,故选择C项。
