Then you give the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Task 1Television has opened windows in everybodys life. Young men wi
16、ll never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people have now seen the effects of battle, resulting in a general dislike of war, and more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. Even those
17、who live in the most remote place can now follow state affairs, seeing and hearing politicians speak before an election. Better informed, he/she is more likely to vote, making their opinion count.Unfortunately, televisions influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enoug
18、h experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. Children believe and want to practice what they see. They do believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “televi
19、sion generation”is more violent than that of their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Since they get used to the entertaining and exciting elements of TV shows, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures, to read a book that requires thinking, or to lis
20、ten to a teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens programs.

23、 less violent than the young.5. From the passage, we can conclude that _.A. children should keep away from TV.B. TV programs should be improvedC. childrens books should have picturesD. TV has a strong influence on the youngTask 2The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted i
24、n the market places despite their products obvious advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason given by most peo
25、ple was dislike for the taste. The producer thought that there might be deeper reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of motivation researchs classic studies, one often cited in the trade.Mason Haire of the University of California made two shopping lists that were almost the same except for on
26、e item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, bread, baking powder, canned peaches, and potatoes, with the brands or amounts 阅卷人 得分specified. The seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read “ one pound Maxwell House coffee” on one list and “Nescafe instant coffee” on th
27、e other. One list was given to each one in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in the other group of the same size. These women were asked to study their list and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman (“personality and character”) who would draw up that shopping l
28、ist. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and was a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested
29、 that she was probably not a good wife; and no one drew the same conclusion as the women in the “instant coffee” group did abut the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.6. In the opinion of instant coffee producers, _.A. people should buy regular coffeeB. regular coffee is superior to instan
30、t coffeeC. instant coffee should have a good market because of its obvious advantagesD. the advertising expenditure for regular coffee is very great7.

31、ular coffee was successfulD. the deeper reason why people resisted instant coffee8.

Because of the result of this test, the producers of instant c
32、offee would probably advertise to show_.A. a lazy wife drinking instant coffeeB. a stupid wife using instant coffeeC. a hard-working woman drinking instant coffeeD. a good wife using regular coffee10. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. It is reasonable for people to resist i
33、nstant coffee.B. Advertising does not always assure favorable sales results.C. People pay little attention to advertising.D. Regular coffee has better taste than instant coffee.Task 3Directions: Read the following passage as fast as you can and then decide whether the statements that follow are True
34、 or False according to the passage. Then give answer on the Answer Sheet. People who visit the United States sometimes wonder how the states got their names. Some of the most interesting names came from the American Indian language. For example, Illinois was named by the Indians who used to live in
35、that part of the country. In their language, Illinois means “brave man”. While Connecticut means “at the long river-mouth” in the language of the Indians who used to live there.Twenty-five of the states have Indian names, but other names were taken from different languages. Georgia and Pennsylvania
36、have names that were taken from the Latin language. Florida and Colorado were named by Spanish people. States like New Hampshire and New Jersey were named after the places in England.The two newest states have names that did not come from any of those languages: Hawaii got its name from a word in th
37、e Hawaiian language that means “homeland”; Alaska was named by the Russians, from whom Alaska was bought in 1867.11. Some of the most interesting state names came from the American Indian language. ( )12. The name “Connecticut” came from the Latin language. ( )13. Hawaii means “brave man” in the Haw
38、aii language. ( )14. Colorado and Florida were named by Spanish people. ( ) 15. The passage mainly describes how the American states got their names. ( )Task 4Most (researchers) have settled on stress and what they call “Type-A” behavior as the prime candidates for psychological causes of heart atta
39、cks. A person who shows Type-A behavior is highly competitive, feels pressured for time, and reacts to frustration with hostility. My research focuses on the interplay between the Type-A personality, life stress, and heart attack.In order to classify people as Type A or Type B, I use their responses
40、 to questions about their ambitions, competitiveness, sense of being pressed for time, and hostile feelings. Type-A people, for example, are likely to set deadlines or quotas for themselves at work or at home at least once per week, while Type-B people do so only occasionally. A Type-A person brings
41、 his work home with him frequently, a Type-B almost never. The Type-A person is highly achievement-oriented and pushes himself to near capacity, while the Type-B person takes it easy. Harding-driving Type-A students earn more academic honors than their Type-B counterparts, though they are no more in
42、telligent. The Type-A behavior pattern earns the person the rewards he seeks, but at a cost to his body that may be the death of him. Obviously, not all Type-A people have heart attacks, but there are certain times, especially when they come under severe stress, when their risk of heart attack is gr

45、it easy means _.A. to stop working altogetherB. to lose heart easilyC. to achieve great success without effortD. to relax and not do very much at all20.
