Without the distraction(困扰) of TV, they might 38 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 39 everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 40 illness are caused at least in part by 41 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 42 our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.On evenings when such talk is 43 , families could discover more active pastimes（消遣，娱乐）. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 44 together to watch the sunset 45 they might take a walk together. 46 free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in 47 than in a TV program. 48 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 49 at the college level. 50 is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.A different 51 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 52 ends, the TV net works might be forced to 53 with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.At first glance, this idea seems radical（激进的）. How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years 54 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 55 childhoods without television. It wasnt that difficult.36AvaluableBpleasantCquickDserious37AadviceBsuggestionCopinionDoffer38Aget aroundBstand stillCmeetDsit around39AproblemsBtroubleCaffairsDmisfortune40AphysicalBcommonCmentalDfamiliar41AattemptBfailureCabilityDpermission42AdiscussBtalkCmake sureDsee to43AimpossibleBunnecessaryCfunnyDunpleasant44AwalkBlookCrideDrest45AandBorCbutDwhile46AAt BInCForDWith47Aa fine poemBa good bookCa quiet hourDa composition48AProfessorsBScientistsCParentsDEducators49AyetBstillCevenDjust50AWritingBSkillCSpeakingDListening51AformBkindCmethodDstep52AreadingBquiet hourCactivityDprogramme53Acome acrossBcome aboutCcome upDbroadcast54AbeforeBsinceCuntilDafter55AremindBrememberCrecognizeDknow第三部分：阅读理解（满分40分）AModern mass-production methods lower the cost of making goods, and this gives us better values. at the same time, American ingenuity(灵活性) and science are constantly at work improving the quality of products. In this way, better quality products at good values are continually being brought to the people of all income groups.As an example of how this works, when facial tissues(擦面纸) were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in limited quantities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufactures began making tissues in larger and larger quantities; their production costs were lowered, so that the cost of tissues went down. In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues was constantly improving, because more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues，and each manufacturer tried to make his product better than his competitors. Today instead of costing 65cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around one-third of that price，and they are both softer and stronger.When people are free to competewhen they are free to make more things and make them better-everyone benefits.56. The purpose for the author to write this article is to_A. tell people how cheap the facial tissues areB. keep people well informed of the prices of facial tissuesC. praise the manufacturers wise decisionsD. explain that everyone can enjoy the benefits from free competition，57. According to the passage，in 1924 the facial tissues_A .were made in small quantities B. were very expensiveC. were disliked by people D. were softer and stronger58. When the demand for facial tissues increased，the manufacturersA. were very happy B. increased the supplyC. failed to meet the demand D. started to raise the price and improve the quality59. From the passage，we can conclude that_A.if you want to have better quality, you have to suffer from higher pricesB. lower prices and better quality cant exist at the same timeC. you can enjoy better quality and lower prices at the same timeD. a product is always very expensive when it is put on the marketBSweden, Denmark and Norway are the worlds best countries to be a mother while their children fare(过日子) worst in poor African countries such as Niger and EthiopiaSweden，Denmark，Norway，Switzerland and Finland were ranked in the top five countries respectively for mothers，followed by Canada，the Netherlands，Australia，Austria and the United Kingdom The United States，where Mothers Day will be celebrated on Sunday，ranked 11th on the Mothers Index.The study ranked poor countries Niger，Burkina Faso，Ethiopia and Guinea Bissau at the bottom of the list along with Angola，Chad，Mali，Yemen，Sierra Leone and Guinea.One in seven women in parts of Africa will die in childbirth or pregnancy just trying to be a mother，compared to 1 in 6；000 in Sweden，”said Mary Beth Powers，a reproductive health advisor for Save the Children.“No woman should have to die in her effort to become a mother.

We can infer that _A there are too many social problems in this countryB. people are poor during the time for giving and receiving presentsC. warm-hearted people like to give away moneyD. this passage is taken from a local newspaperDThe opinion of many engineers is that the architects that designed the New York World Trade Center Twin Towers did a good job in designing the buildings. The buildings were safe from the hazards envisioned(可预见的危险)at the time. Indeed，they were designed to withstand the force of aircraft that might crash into them. They were not，however，designed to withstand the effects of the very high temperatures generated by the ignition(灼热)of tons of aviation fuel carried by the aircraft.Steel lightly covered with concrete(混凝土)is the main structural component of the towers and steel loses a lot of structural strength when heated to 1100 degrees Centigrade and beyond，as it was. To protect the steel the towers beams were coated with a few centimeters of concrete. That insulation(隔离)was to provide structural integrity(完整)for at least 1 hour of fire. The towers met that test. The south tower lasted 62 minutes. The north，103 minutes.Tragedy followed when not all could escape before the collapse(倒塌)Most experts agree that the Twins Towers were very well-designed. Many also agree that the people planning the attacks were very knowledgeable and aimed the aircraft at a height that would affect the most damage. The aircraft crash and the resulting fuel fed fires were aimed at about the 90th floor. That was just high enough to insure that the upper floors would weaken with the heat and crack down，dropping into the remaining part of the building.The mass of the falling top floor created such a falling load that some experts estimate(估计)it exceeded(超过)by 5 to 10 times normal bearing loads. The effect was like a giant hammer，each floor contributing more weight to be born by the next floor down.Were the Trade Towers well designed? Engineers say yes. But the public believe that architects will never again design a tall building without considering the effects of terrorist attacks of all potential(潜在的)kinds. That not only includes the ability of the structure to withstand attack but the means to allow the buildings occupants to escape in time to survive.67. According to the article，those who designed the tower could have done better if_A .the tower lasted longer after being att
