they get the news of the day. but some new tv programs or shows put entertainment and news together.this new kind of program in the united states is called “information”, which means information (info-) and entertainment (-tainment). these kinds of programs use actors to act out news stories, making the news of the day more interesting and exciting to people. the shows also use special effects. an example of infotainment is the show “americas most wanted”. the producers of this program get stories from real cases that the police have dealt with. in most of these cases, the police never found the person who committed the crime (犯罪). sometimes they caught the criminal, but he or she ran away again. they use actors to play the parts of all the people in the case. at the end of

explain that im not wrong.” says viola, a nurse. this is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one. there are better ways of dealing with criticism. when sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, sols reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “i had put everything i had into making that sale,” sol says, “and i felt that i had failed as a person. i had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure. rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other persons position. the problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it. after you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. the best answer may be “nothing”. “i finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because i was there,” says sheila. “his criticism didnt really have anything to do with my work, so nothing i said or did was going to change them.” in sheilas case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. however, thats an extreme reaction. you may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. you may even decide that the battle isnt worth fighting this time. the key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.1. when sol was criticized by his employer, he _. a. argued bitterly with his employer b. was angry and gave up his job. c. was sorry for what he did d. was sad and self-pitying2. according to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because _. a. people may have a mistaken idea of what you did b. you should welcome other peoples opinions c. people may discuss it with you in depth d. you need time to understand yourself3. when the writer says that “the best answer may be nothing, he means you may decide _. a. to take no notice of the criticism b. to argue with your boss c. you need to change your job. d. youve done nothing wrong 4. the writer thinks sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss _. a. didnt like her appearance b. refused to change his opinion c. made an unreasonable criticism d. refused to talk to her about the criticism5. whats the best subtitle of the last paragraph? a. take time to cool down. b. react criticism quickly. c. take action quickly. d.

especially the pressures of large city population, and the desire to bring a satisfactory living with the lowest possible cost to the largest number of people. the environmental crisis is the result of success in cutting down the death rate of babies, which has given us the population explosion, success in increasing farm output sufficiently to prevent mass famine(饥荒), success in getting people out of the tenements(租房) of the 19th century city and into the ownership of single family home in the suburb，which has given us urban traffic jams. the environmental crisis, in other words, is the result of doing too much of the right sort of thing at large.to overcome the problems that success always creates, one must build on it. but where to start? cleaning up the environment requires determined, sustained(持续的) efforts with clear targets and deadlines it needed, above all, concentration of effort. up to now we have tried to do a little bit of everything, what we ought to do first is to draft a list of priorities(优先解决的问题). 1. this passage makes people believe that we have the desire to _. a. live in comfortable family life-style b. set disputes peacefully c. fight cancer and heart disease with energetic research d. have greater government involvement in peoples daily life2. according to this passage, one early step in any effort to improve the environment would be _. a. return to expensive use of natural fertilizersb.ban the use of automobiles in and around cities c. study successful effort in other countries d. set up a timetable for collective actions3. the passage indicates that the conditions that led to overcrowded roads also brought about _. a. more attractive living conditions for many people b. a healthy younger generation c. greater job opportunities d. the population explosion4. it could logically be assumed that the author of the passage would support laws to _. a. ban the use of all fertilizers b. prevent the use of automobiles in the cities c. build traditional power plants immediately d, organize an agency to work together to deal with environmental problems5. the phrase “build on” in the last paragraph most probably means “_”. a. give up b. rely on c. get rid of d. research into 议论文：1细节题 2推断题 3推断题 4推断题 5猜测词义题 (adadb) b packaging（包装）is an important form of advertising. a package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. for example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a tv character. the child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy productsor to ask their parents for them. some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. however, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. the size of a package also motivates a buyer. maybe the package has “economy size” or “family size” printed on it. this suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. but that is not always true. to find it out a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. the information on the package should provide some answers. but the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. the words and pictures do not tell the whole story. only the product inside can do that. 1. “a buyer will get something for nothing” in paragraph 3 most means that _. a. a buyer will not get what he pays for b. a buy will get more than what he pays for c. a buyer will get something useful free of charge d. a buyer will get more but pay less2. from the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to _. a. the size of a container b. a container with attractive pictures c. a well-designed container d. a plain container with low cost3.what suggestion does the author give in the passage? a. its not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish b. the quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product. c. the best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package d. a buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well-designed package4. which of the following sentences is not true according to the passage? a. in fact, glasses or dishes used for packaging do not cost money at all. b. “family size” printed on the package means that he is rather economic. c. to a child, even to an adult, the form is far more important than the content. d. words and pictures written on the package are thought to be an advertisement.5. what is the best title for the passage? a. how to package a product b. how to make an advertisement c. how to sell product d. how to attract more buyers议论文：1猜测词义 2推断题 3推断题 4细节题 5主旨题 (ccbad) cexercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average american, who would rather try switching to light beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion(用力). the centers for disease control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet. in rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure (热量消耗)charts; for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious danish pastry (小甜饼). even exercise professionals concede half a point here. exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight, says york onnen, program director of the presidents council on physical fitness and sports. still, exercises supporting role in weight reduction is vital. a study at the boston university medical center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight. if you have been sedentary (极少活动的) and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. in a years time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. by increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.16. what is said about the average american in the passage?a) they usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.b) they prefer light
