Television hasnt been 21 us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like 22 it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never found it difficult to occupy our 23 time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For example, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go 24 for our amusement, to theaters, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that 25 to the past. Now all our free _26_ is regulated by the goggle box (电视机) . We rush home and gulp down(狼吞虎咽地吞下)our meals to be in time for this or that 27 .We have even given up sitting 28 table and having a leisurely evening meal , exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do-anything, 29 it doesnt interfere with the program. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention.

Reading Comprehension. (2 point for each, altogether 30 points)Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Billy is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at 5 oclock. He is a newspaper boy. Each morning，Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the corner，where the newspapers are. The newspapers are delivered to the corner by truck at midnight. He always takes a wagon to carry them.In the winter, it is still dark when he gets up，but during the rest of the year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses of people on his route in all kinds of weather. He tries to put each paper on the porch(门廊)where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. His customers think he does a good job. Sometimes they give him tips(小费).Billy earns about $ 70 per month，and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes. Once a month，he has to collect money from his customers. Since many of them work during the day，Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes，when Billy is sick，his brother has to deliver the newspapers. Once，Billys father had to help. Billy has seventy customers now，but he hopes to get more soon. Someday，if he gets more customers，Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding(突出的)newspaper boy. He wants to win a trip to Europe，but he will be happy if he wins a new bicycle.31. Keeping a part-time job tells us that Billy _D_.A has to make a living by himselfB can not get any support from his familyC has to pay for his school tuitionD is independent and self-confident32.

The prize for an outstanding newspaper boy is _D_.A a trip to EuropeB a new bicycleC a tipD A or BPassage 2Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions，thoughts，and words of young people. This influence，known as peer pressure，is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do，think，or say?Most of us，children included，feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them，we act like our friends，and listen to their advice，whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends，sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs，but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and，at the same time，responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.36. The passage mainly talks about _B_.A friendshipB peer pressureC conflicts between young people and their parentsD problems for young people37. In the third sentence of the second paragraph，them refers to _C_.A childrenB strong needs to be liked by othersC acceptance and friendshipD our friends advice38. being your own person” in the last sentence most probably means _A_.A acting according to your own beliefs and valuesB trying not to tell any lieC keeping yourself away from drugsD having enough self-confidence39. The second paragraph focuses on _D_.A what peer pressure isB how young people start to take drugsC what parents should do for their childrenD why young people are easily influenced by their peers40. Who can influence us on the actions, thoughts? _D_.A TeacherB FatherC MotherD Friends and contemporariesPassage 3Background music may seem harmless，but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories，shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with，muzak（音乐广播网）was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently，however，its become big business - thanks in part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman，an American marketing expert，has shown that music can boost(促进)sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But，it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet，slow music isnt always answer. Dr.Milliman found，for example，that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals，which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving - unless of course，the resulting indigestion leads to complaints！41. The reason why background music is so popular is that _C_.A it is harmless everywhereB it can boost sales in all placesC it can help to create a soothing atmosphereD it can help to have more meals42. Background music means _D_.A light musicB slow musicC fast musicD the music you are listening to while you are doing something43. Restaurant owners complain about background music because _D_.A it results in indigestionB it keeps customers movingC it increases their salesD it decreases their sales44. The word up-tempo music(para. 3 the last line but two) probably means _C_.A slow musicB light music C fast musicD classical music45. According to this passage, we learned that _D_A Dr. Milliman made background music.B background music spread to the world by Dr. Milliman.C Dr. Milliman found fast music meant customers took longer to eat.D background music can have a powerful effect on some people.IV.
