You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.There was one shop in the town of Mufulira that was notorious for its color bar. It was a drugstore. While Europeans were served at the counter, a long line of Africans queued at the window and often not only were kept waiting but, when their turn came to be served, were rudely treated by the shop assistants. One day I was determined to make a public protest against this kind of thing, and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store and waited outside to see what would happen when I went in.I simply went into the shop and asked the manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand he shouted at me in a bastard language that is only used by a boss when speaking to his servants. I stood at the counter and politely requested in English that I should be served. The manager became exasperated and said to me in English, Even if you stand there till Christmas I will never serve you.I went to the District Commissioners office. Fortunately the District Commissioner was out, for he was one of the old school; however, I saw a young District Officer who was a friend of mine. He was very concerned to hear my story and told me that if ever I wanted anything more from the drugstore all I had to do was come to him personally and he would buy my medicine for me. I protested that that was not good enough. I asked him to accompany me back to the store and to make a protest to the manager. This he did, and I well remember him saying to the manager, Here is Mr. Kaunda who is a responsible member of the Urban Advisory Council, and you treat him like a common servant. The manager of the drugstore apologized and said, If only he had introduced himself and explained who he was, then, of course I should have given him proper service.I had to explain once again that he had missed my point. Why should I have to introduce myself every time I went into a store any more than I should have to buy my medicine by going to a European friend? I want to prove that any man of any color, whatever his position, should have the right to go into any shop and buy what he wants.31.Color bar in the first paragraph comes closest in meaning to _.A) a bar which is painted in different colors B) the fact that white and black customers are served separately C) a bar of chocolate having different colors D) a counter where people of different colors are served with beer 正确答案： B32.The writer was, at the time of the story, _.A) a black, but a member of the Urban Advisory Council B) an African servant C) a black, but a friend of the drugstore manager D) a rich black 正确答案： A33.The manager of the drugstore shouted at the writer in a bastard language because _.A) he hadnt learned to speak polite English B) he thought the writer wouldnt understand English C) that was the usual language when speaking to Africans D) that was the only language he could speak when he was angry 正确答案： C34.In the third paragraph, he was one of the old school means _.A) he believed in the age-old practice of racial discrimination B) he was a very old man C) he graduated from an old, conservative school D) he was in charge of an old school 正确答案： A35.Why didnt the writer wait at the window of the drugstore like other black Africans?A) Because he thought he was educated and should be treated differently.

Many of us have seen and heard the often recycled topics found on such shows as Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “trash talk”. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of societys moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other peoples lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individuals quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work weekly, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clear as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main target audience is middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with lifes tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the shows exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.36.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _.A) more family-oriented B) unusually popular C) more profound D) relatively formal 正确答案： B37.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience _.A) remain fascinated by them B) are ready to face up to them C) remain indifferent to them D) are willing to get involved in them 正确答案： A38.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A) A new type of robot.
