It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to, for example, political parties and religious groups.There is a kind of interesting service in British-rental services. Many people prefer to rent their television sets instead of buying them.The rent for a black and white set is about 80 pence a week . The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black and white set. If the sets go wrong, people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced immediately.Everyone has to buy a yearly license, since there is no advertising on BBC radio or television. It is from the sale of licenses that the BBC gets most of its money. A license for a black and white set costs 8 pounds, and for a colour set 18 pounds a year.There are four specialized radio channels, which broadcast different kinds of programmes. Radio I is mainly pop musicRadio 2 deals with light music, sports and other programmes.

But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun. Nobody knew who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its uses: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times. the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe. the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again It became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.24. Ancient people first used umbrellas as . A. a symbol of honor B a symbol of power C. protection against the sun D. protection against the rain 25. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in accident A. Babylon B. China C. Egypt D. Rome26. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily life. B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle ages. C. The umbrellas for woman were made colorful in ancient times. D. The style of the umbrella hasnt changed a lot since it was invented27. What is the passage mainly about? A. The sales of the umbrella. B. The history and the use of the umbrella. C. The invention of the umbrella. D. The differences among umbrellas.C “Sorry, but I dont agree with you” This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. Ive always found it difficult to disagree with someone because I dont want to lose a friend. Ive found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego (自尊心) is hurt. Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be, “If you arent able to see my point of view, then what you think isnt worth my time or consideration, either.” But now Ive come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, “I dont agree with the way things are done.” She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because Im against the truth. Thats when I need to listen to what she says. Ive learned that for me one way to help my friend is to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we cant control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person. And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions. In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback (反馈) from others, knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love. Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I dont like being disagreed with, Im starting to see the value of such disagreements. 28. The author has found it difficult to disagree with someone because _. A. he is a friendly person B. he usually hides his ideas C. he has no mind of his own D. he wants to keep the friendship29.

A. he is against the truth B. he doesnt tell the truth C. he is respected by the friend D. he does things in the wrong way31. What does the author mainly talk about in the text? A. How to keep friendship. B. How to avoid hurting a friend. C. How to express disagreements. D. How to deal with disagreements.D The latest study by the University of Florida has found that eating from smaller, less beautiful, and even paper plates will help prevent overeating. Eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, the researchers say. Much to their surprise, they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight. The researchers asked 185 college students to choose a chocolate cake or a fruit salad, and evaluated the taste. Those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. But the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case. Lead scientist, Dr. Ata Jami, says that a glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance. It enables them to view themselves objectively (客观地) and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people. The mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted social standards. The researchers believe it proves that people dont want to look in the mirror when they feel they are following the social standards. When they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food, feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. Therefore, the presence of the mirror lowers the taste of unhealthy food. However, researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating, because they are responsible for that choice. The researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces, so that people will start eating more healthily.32. Researchers are amazed to find that _. A. paper plates make food look nicer B. people using a fork will eat more C. mirrors can help people lose weight D. people will eat more in front of a mirror33. What can be inferred from the study? A. Some teenagers got involved in it. B. People were required to eat with a spoon. C. People preferred a chocolate cake to a fruit salad. D. The mirror may not affect the taste of healthy food.34. According to Dr. Ata Jami, the mirror _. A. makes people judge others correctly B. makes people well judge themselves C. is a necessary part of peoples daily life D. can only show the appearance of a person35. How does the mirror affect the taste of junk food? A. By making people hungry. B. By showing the social standards. C. By attracting people to healthy food. D. By causing a feeling of discomfort. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）来学+ 根据根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。As we know, everyone can make mistakes, but dont worry about it.
