1.
Obviously television has both
advantages and disadvantages.
In the first place, television is not
only a convenient source of entertainment,
but also a comparatively cheap one. With a
TV set in the family people don’t have to
pay for expensive seats at the theatre,
the cinema, or the opera. All they have to
do is to push a button or turn a knob, and
they can see plays, films, operas and
shows of every kind. Some people, however,
think that this is where the danger lies.
The television viewers need do nothing. He
does not even have use his legs if he has
a remote control. He makes no choice and
exercises, no judgment. He is completely
passive and has everything presented to
him without any effort on his part.
Television, it is often said, keeps
one informed about current events and the
latest developments in science and
politics. The most distant countries and
the strangest customs are brought right
into one’s sitting room. It could be
argued that the radio performs this
service as well; but on television
everything is much more living, much more
real. Yet here again there is a danger.
The television screen itself has a
terrible, almost physical charm for us. We
get so used to looking at the movements on
it, so dependent on its pictures, that it
begins to control our lives. People are
often heard to say that their television
sets have broken down and that they have
suddenly found that they have far more
time to do things and that they have
actually begun to talk to each other
again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?
There are many other arguments for and
against television. We must realize that
television itself is neither good nor bad.
It is the uses that it is put to that
determine its value to society.
1). What is the major function of
paragraph 1?
A. To arouse the reader’s concern
B. To introduce the theme of the whole
passage
C. To summarize the whole passage
D. To state the primary uses of TV
满分:4 分 得分:4

B. Because TV viewers are totally passive

2. Studies in advanced economies
show, as one would expect, that for every
1,000 pounds increase in income there is,
indeed, an increased sense of well-being (
幸福)---but only for the poorest fifth of
the population. Beyond that, there is
almost no increase in people’s
satisfaction with their lives as income
levels increase. In Australia, there is a
slightly closer relation between level of
income and well-being, but in the US and
England there is only an unimportant and
irregular relationship. The rich are no
happier than the middle classes and the
upper middle class is no happier than the
lower middle class. Beyond poverty or
near-poverty levels of income, if money
buys happiness, it buys very little and
often it buys none at all.
This is strange because market
economists report that the purpose of the
market is to maximize the satisfaction of
human wants. But they measure that
satisfaction, called “utility”, in a
circular manner: satisfaction with
something is revealed by the very fact
that it was bought.
Yet studies show that the things that
contribute most to a sense of well-being
cannot be bought, such as a good family
life, friendship, work satisfaction, and
satisfaction with the uses of one’s
leisure. There is little relation between
these things and people’s incomes. For
many people security of income actually
contribute more to measured well-being
than does level of income.
Most people believe that if they had
25 percent more income they would be much
more satisfied with their lives, but those
whose incomes are now at that higher level
are not more satisfied with their lives.
Changes in income do briefly influence our
sense of well-being, but even the
happiness that comes with an increase in
income does not last long.
1). According to the author, people from
____ would feel happier if there is an
income increase.
A. upper middle class
B. lower working class
C. lower middle class
D. upper rich class

C. Satisfaction of human demands can be
met through purchases of goods.
D. Markets can provide people with

3. We use both words and gestures to
express our feelings, but the problem is
that these words and gestures can be
understood in different ways.
It is true that a smile means the same
thing in any language, so does laughter or
crying. There are also a number of
striking similarities in the way different
animals show the same feelings. Dogs,
tigers and humans, for example, often show
their teeth when they are angry. This is
probably because they are born with those
behavior patterns.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in
much the same way all over the world. In
Chinese and in English literature, a
phrase like "he went pale and begin to
tremble" suggests that the man is either
very afraid or he has just got a very big
shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide"
is used to suggest anger in Chinese
whereas in English it means surprise. In
Chinese " Even in the same culture,
people differ in ability to understand and
express feelings. Experiments in America
have shown that women are usually better
than men at recognizing fear, anger, love
and happiness on people's faces. Other
studies show that older people usually
find it easier to recognize or understand
body language than younger people do.1).
According to the passage, __________.
A. we can hardly understand what people's
gestures mean
B. we can not often be sure what people
mean when they describe their feelings in
words or gestures
C. words can be better understood by older
people
D. gestures can be understood by most of
the people while words can not

misunderstood because __________.
A. people of different ages may have
different understanding

different languages
满分:4 分 得分:4
3). In the same culture, __________.
A. people have different ability to
understand and express feelings
B. people have the same understanding of
something
C. people never fail to understand each
other
D. people are equally intelligent
满分:4 分 得分:4
4). From this passage, we can conclude
__________.
A. words are used as frequently as
gestures
B. words are often found difficult to
understand
C. words and gestures are both used in
