根据下列材料请回答 26～30 题：BToday there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street.Fifty years later, there were 120 "Bow Street Runners", but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829, the first Metropolitan (or London)Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.Today. the London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.第 26 题 In 1700, the men who protected the streets were paid __________.A． a fewB． nothingC． a littleD． a lot

Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it1). Which of the following statements is not based on the passage?A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.B. Television has much influence on children.C. Both parents and their children like watching educational television.D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.2). In what ways do children suffer from television?A. They become the victims of social violence.B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.3). Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ______A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingB. commercials teach children alphabet and numbersC. commercials help to sell productsD. they don’t like commercials4). Educational television is widely appreciated because _____A. it does have the same commercials as othersB. it offers programs for both children and their parentsC. many parents like the programs it offers for their childrenD. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school5). Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Watching Too Much Television Is Harmful to Young Minds.B. Television Is More Harmful than Educational.C. Television’s Influence on Children.D. More Education Television.

Back in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family round table at dinnertime and exchanged our daily experiences. It wasn't very organized, but everyone was recognized and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member.We listened to each other and the interest was not put-on; it was real. Our family was a unit and we supported each other, and nurtured each other, and liked each other, and--we were even willing to admit--we loved each other.Today, the family round table has moved to the local fast-food restaurant and talk is not easy,much less encouraged.Grandma, who used to live upstairs, is now the voice on long distance, and the working parent is far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager four-year-old.So family conversation is as extinct as my old toys and parental questions such as "What have you been doing, Bobby? " have been replaced by "I'm busy, go watch television. "And watch TV they do; count them by the millions.But it's usually not children's television that children watch. Saturday morning, the children's hour, amounts to only about 8 percent of their weekly viewing.Where are they to be found? Watching adult television, of course, from the Match Game in the morning, to the afternoon at General Hospital, from the muggings and battles on the evening news right through the family hour and past into Starsky and Hutch. That's where you find our kids, over five million of them, at 10 p.m., not fewer than a million until after midnight! All of this is done with parental permission.Television, used well, can provide enriching experiences for our young people, but we must use it with some sense. When the carpet is clean, we turn off the vacuum cleaner. When the dishes are clean, the dishwasher turns itself off.Not so the television, which is on from the sun in the morning to the moon at night and beyond !Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the child whena program not intended for that child is viewed.Parents need to intervene.Nonintervention may be a wise policy in international affairs,but the results of parental nonintervention will not be wise at all.According to the writer, the responsibility for the kid's watching adult television and watching it for a long time should be undertaken by__________.A.the television stationsB.the societyC.TV programsD.their parents

根据下面资料，回答Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years. In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows. In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need. But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages. Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A.Because they can live more comfortably there.B.Because they prefer a noisy life to a peaceful life.C.Because they want to find work.D.Because they are sure of having a better life there.

When we analyze the salt salinity (盐浓度) of ocean waters, we find that it varies only slightly from place to place． Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important． There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity． One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation． In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salt stays behind． If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white salt would be left behind ; this, by the way,is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtained． The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean． Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased． This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean． Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation． Normally, in hot regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation． similarly, in coastal． Grandma, who used to live upstairs, is now the voice on long distance, and the working parent is far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager four-year-old． So family conversation is as extinct as my old toys and parental questions such as "What have you been doing, Bobby?

共用题干"Happy Birthday to You"The main problem in discussing American popular culture is also one of its main characteristics:it won't stay American.No matter what it is,whether it is films,food and fashion,music,casual sports or slang, it's soon at home elsewhere in the world.There are several theories why American popular culture has had this appeal.One theory is that it has been"advertised"and marketed through American films,popular music,and more recently,television.________(46)They are,after all,in competition with those produced by other countries. Another theory,probably a more common one,is that American popular culture is internationally associ-ted with something called"the spirit of America"._______(47)The final theory is less complex:American popular culture is popular because a lot of people in theworld like it.Regardless of why it spreads,American popular culture is usually quite rapidly adopted and then adapted in many other countries.________(48)"Happy Birthday to You",for instance,is such an everyday song tha its source,its American copyright,so to speak,is not remembered.Black leather jackets worn by many heroe in American movies could be found,a generation later,on all those young men who wanted to make this manly-look their own.Two areas where this continuing process is most clearly seen are clothing and music.Some people canstill remember a time when T-shirts,jogging clothes,tennis shoes,denim jackets,and blue jeans were notcommon daily wear everywhere.Only twenty years ago,it was possible to spot an American in Paris by his or her clothes.No longer so:Those bright colors,checkered jackets and trousers,hats and socks which were once made fun of in cartoons are back again in Paris as the latest fashion._____(49)The situation with American popular music is more complex because in the beginning,when it was still clearly American,it was often strongly resisted.Jazz was once thought to be a great danger to youth and their morals,and was actually outlawed in several countries.Today,while still showing its rather American roots, has become so well established.Rock 'n' roll and all its variations,country & western music,all have moi or less similar histories.They were first resisted,often in America as well,as being"low-class",and then: "a danger to our nation's youth".______(50)And then the music became accepted and was extende and developed,and exported back to the US.46.________（46）A.As a result,its American origins and roots are often quickly forgotten.B.But this theory fails to explain why American films,music,and television programs are so popular in then selves.C.American in origin,informal clothing has become the world's first truly universal style.D.The BBC,for example,banned rock and roll until 1962.E.American food has become popular around the world,too.F.This spirit is variously described as being young and free,optimistic and confident,informal and disrespectfu.________（48）A:As a result,its American origins and roots are often quickly forgotten.B:But this theory fails to explain why American films,music,and television programs are so popular in then selves.C:American in origin,informal clothing has become the world's first truly universal style.D:The BBC,for example,banned rock and roll until 1962.E:American food has become popular around the world,too.F:This spirit is variously described as being young and free,optimistic and confident,informal and disrespectfu.

问答题Practice 11　　If you ask an Englishman about the Press in his country, he will almost certainly begin talking about the morning daily and Sunday “national newspapers”, all of which now have their head offices in London. Later, almost as an afterthought, he may go to talk about the provincial morning dailies, the London and provincial evening papers, and finally the weekly local papers. The dominating position of the national daily morning papers is due to the smallness of the country, with every large town in England and Wales able to be reached by train in less than five hours from London. A paper printed in London around midnight can be at any breakfast table in England the next morning, except in remote country districts. All over the country, most people read the same newspapers and the dominant position of the London papers may reflect a lack of regional identity. The national dailies are generally classed as either “quality” (The Times, the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph) or “popular”.
