When TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they dont want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenesthe TV cameramenhave no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (贪得无厌的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agenciessuch as Reuters and WTNhave never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.56. TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to . A. save expense and avoid risks B. buy pictures which are the most stimulating to the senses C. look for pictures that are of fine qualities D. get first-hand information and pictures57. The freelance cameramen . A. have better skills than other cameramen B. are tied to many TV news agencies C. have to take tremendous risks in the course of work D. need to contract out risks of work for TV companies58. It is implied in the passage that . A. TV cameramen have to witness disasters and killing whether they like them or not B. TV cameramen are a special group of people who enjoy horrifying pictures C. TV cameramen should be given grater choice of work D. the development of TV resulted in the growing demand for TV cameramens work59. According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies . A. have employed enough cameramen B. are not willing to employ many cameramen C. are very mean to freelancers C. are responsible for the freelancer if he is injured60. The author of this passage shows his the freelance cameramen. A. respect for B. sympathy to C. anger to D. admiration to18. Career education is instruction intended to help young people identify, choose, and prepare for a career. Such instruction may focus on a persons role in work, leisure, or family life. Career education differs from vocational education, which is designed to teach specific occupational skills.Career education includes the formal and informal learning that occurs in the family, in the community, and in schools. In schools, career education consists of instructive activities included in many courses. These activities are designed to improve the attitudes, knowledge, and skills important for work roles. Career education helps students develop self- understanding and use it to plan their education and working life.A complete career education program in school begins in kindergarten and continues at least through high school. Many colleges and universities also offer career education through their counseling(咨询) programs. In kindergartens and elementary schools, youngsters learn about different types of work. In middle schools or junior high school, children begin to explore the occupations and leisure activities that interest them most. In high school, students get more specific information about occupations and life styles. They may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessions where they learn how to make career decisions. They also should obtain the skills they need for further study or for a job after graduation. Counselors provide information on such matters as how to locate and apply for jobs and how to be successful in interviews. Teachers and counselors use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films about occupations or industries. Children may invite parents or other adults to come to school and describe their jobs. A student may accompany a worker on the job. Cooperative education combines classroom study with practical work experience.50According to the passage, which statement is true?A. Career education is carried out in primary schools only.B. Career education is carried out in middle schools only.C. Career education is carried out in colleges only.D. Career education is carried out in the whole process of peoples education from kindergarten to university.51It may be inferred from the passage that _. A. not only teachers but also parents are responsible for youngsters career educationB. in high schools, students know more specific information about occupationsC. career education may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessionsD. teachers use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films52A child may get career education in all the following places EXCEPT _.A. schools B. homes C. communities D. public places53The underlined word “combine” in the last paragraph means “to _”.A. connect B. force C. provide D. attempt 19. Science is a major topic in our culture. Since it touches almost every field of our life, educated people need at least some knowledge with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the scientific subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific ideas is easier to obtain if one knows something about the things that excite and discourage the scientist. This book is written for the person whose knowledge with science is not complete; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty（发霉的）storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of tricks; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. The book can be used to add to a course in any science, to come with any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or simply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader view on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an idea and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. Besides, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies（哲学）that are deep in our culture.We have tried to present in this book a correct and up-to-date picture of the scientific world and the people who populate it. That population has in recent years come to include more and more women. This increasing role of women is not just the only event but, rather, part of the trend obvious in all parts of society, as more women enter traditionally male-controlled fields and make influential contributions.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our method is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldnt take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a cruel and unpleasant way to earn a living.8. According to the passage, scientific subculture means _.A. scientific society B. technical groupsC. complex situation D. knowledge system9. We need to know something about science because _.A. scientists have specific scientific ideasB. science affects almost every field of our lifeC. it is easier to understand general characteristics of scienceD. it is not easy to understand the things that excite and discourage scientists10. The book mentioned in this passage is written for readers who _.A. are scientists making influential contributionsB. want to have a little understanding of scienceC. want to break the male-controlled worldD. have a misunderstanding about science20. Car PollutionSome cars do not run the way they should. Bad smoke from a car can get into the air. This bad smoke is called pollution.Pollution turns the air a gray(灰色的) color. It is very dirty. It is not good for people to breathe this dirty air.To keep pollution down, the states tests cars every two years. This test checks to make sure the cars do not pollute the air. If a car does not pass the test, the owner cannot drive it the next year.Some car owners drive their cars even though they cannot pass the test. It is also very bad for the air.People want to find a way to get these cars off the road. So a state program(项目) was started that now seems to be helping. In this program the States buys cars that cannot pass the test or will help pay for repairs. This program has been helping people buy better cars or fix their old ones. It has also been helping to cut down on pollution.To meet the needs for the program, a car must be drivable and the owner must meet certain income(收入) restrictions(限制). In order to get help from the program, a motorist must have a family income of no more than 185% of the national poverty guidelines(贫困线). For a family of four, that would be no more than $32,653 each year.The state program that takes polluting cars off the road has just finished its first year, and people say it has been successful.For the past year, the state program has been buying cars that cant pass the test. Some car owners get as much as $1,000 for their old ones, while others receive as much as $500 for repairs.The cars bought by the States through the program are put out of use and sent to dismantlers(拆卸厂).1. Cars get tested every two years to make sure _.A. the owners can get some money B. they can get repaired on time C. they dont pollute the air D. the government can decide to buy them or not 2. A car owner can get some money from the program if he / she has _. A. a motor B. only one car C. a small family D. a low income 3. After being bought by the government, a car will be _. A. put out of use B. repaired C. tested again D. reused21. In the late 1960s, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed out that a forest of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lots.Skyscrapers are also consumers and wasters of electric power. In one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscrapers office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowatts-enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss ( or gain) through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical brick wall filled with insulation (绝缘) board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare(眩目的光) as well as heat gain.However, mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings. Skyscrapers put a strain on a citys sanitation facilities(卫生设备),too. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone produce 2.25 million gallons of wastes each year-as much a city the size of Stanford, Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109,000.Skyscrapers also affect television reception, block bird flyways and air traffic, In Boston in the late 1960s, some people even feared that shadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common. Still ,people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that
