Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, televisions influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. Thats the time it takes on the screen.46. In the past, many young people _.A. knew the effects of warB. went in for politicsC. liked to save the wounded in warsD. were willing to be soldiers47. Now with TV people can _.A. discuss politics at an information centerB. show more interest in politicsC. make their own decisions on political affairsD. express their opinions freely48. The author thinks that TV advertisements _.A. are not reliable on the wholeB. are useless to peopleC. are a good guide to adultsD. are very harmful to the young49. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. People have become used to crimes now.B. With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.C. People now like to read books with picture.D. The adults are less violent than the young.50. From the passage, we can conclude that _.A. children should keep away from TVB.TV programs should be improvedC. childrens books should have picturesD. TV has a deep influence on the youngV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese. 1. In many respects international trade is no different from domestic trade.在许多方面,国际贸易与国内贸易没有什么不同.2.

But the number of young people who can 37 universities is limited by the capacity of the universities, which is 38 than enough to take all the young people who have the basic qualifications for university admission. In practice, therefore, entry to the universities is competitive. But university degree courses are also 39 at polytechnics, and entry to the Open University is less restricted.The academic year begins after the summer holidays and is divided into three “terms”, with the 40 between them formed by the Christmas and Easter holidays. The exact dates of the holidays vary from area to area, 41 in general about two weeks at Christmas and Easter, plus often a week or more at Whitsun, and six weeks in the summer, beginning rather late. Schools outside the state system decide on their own holiday 42 , generally taking a month off at Christmas and Easter and eight weeks in the summer. The three terms are not everywhere called by the same names; indeed 43 schools call the January-March period “the Spring Term”, others use “Spring Term” for the period April-July. Some call the January term “Winter Term” (which is logical), others call it “Easter Term”.Day-schools mostly work Monday to Friday only, from about 9 44 to between 3 and 4 p.m. Lunch is provided and parents pay for it unless they prove to the authorities that they cannot well afford 45 .

This feast is a time when the family comes together for a meal and gives thanks to God for the blessings they have received. The first thanksgiving feast was celebrated by the early American settlers who started the feast to give thanks to God for their good harvest.In America thanksgiving is the family holiday. It is on that holiday that all the family members make a special effort to gather together . The feast is always held on Thursday and most people have a four-day holiday from school and work. Thus they are able to travel a great distance to be with their family.The thanksgiving meal is traditionally turkey which was a large bird valued as food for the first time. The table is filled with fruits, walnuts and many types of vegetables. For the sweet dish the main choice is usually pumpkin pie. The meal is a time for the members of the family to talk to each other. There will be talking before the meal, during the meal and long after the meal.On thanksgiving morning there are in many cities sporting events and parades to mark the day. The family dinner is usually held in the afternoon around 4p.m. . The mother will prepare the meal and the father will carve the turkey. He will be seated at the head of the table. The meal will begin with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings the family received. The father will also thank the family for coming together on this day. During the meal there is plenty of food for everyone present. The meal is a very joyful time. When the meal is finished some will help with the dishes and others will return to the living room to talk or watch television.In many ways the feast of thanksgiving is similar to the Chinese feast of Mid-Autumn Festival. It is the time for the family to gather together to give thanks and to share in meal.46. Thanksgiving is said to be the family holiday in America because _.
