For almost any statement that is made,

23、exceptions can be found. Nevertheless, literary _41_is all about generalizations. Here are some that are made about Asian-American literature.All Asian-American writers can be placed into one of two groups, those who emigrated to the United States and those who were born here but of immigrant famili

24、es. They _42_a broad and diverse range of countries, from Japan and the Philippines in the east to Iran and Turkey in the west.Some of the topics that first-generation writers deal with are common to all immigrant people: the _43_ journey to a new land, a loneliness for home, and an uncertainty abou

25、t the new culture. So you might find tales of a Vietnamese immigrants horrific departure after the _44_of Saigon or the struggle against prejudice _45_in a book like Carlos Bulosans autobiographical America Is in the Heart.Family values can be a source of much rich literature. All Asian-American gro

26、ups _46_certain customs and practices with them, and sometimes these were looked on with surprise by their new countrymen. They certainly were a cause of _47_and sometimes contention between immigrants and their American-born children. Books like Jade Snow Wongs Fifth Chinese Daughter make this clea

27、r.More, perhaps, than some other groups, Asian Americans have been _48_with language: how it _49_them apart from others, the importance of mastering American English. In an essay called “Mother Tongue”, for example, writer Amy Tan discusses how her mothers less-than-perfect English influenced her ow

28、n life and her views of herself.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The concept of personal choice in relation to health beh

29、aviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illness may be 50 if individuals would make sound personal health choices 51 upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it 52 when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The str

30、ucture of American society allows us to make almost all our personal decisions that may 53 our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a 54 sedentary(久坐的)life-style without any exercise. The 55 to make such personal de

31、cisions is the fundamental aspect of our society, 56 the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices 57 to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be 58 by friends into believing it is a social

32、ly 59 thing to do.A multitude of 60 , both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. 61 , the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior

33、 is 62 one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. Experts suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of 63 life is similar to attempting suicide. 64 personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that

34、are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.50. A. stoppedB. preventedC. infectedD. cured51. A. constructedB. basedC. foundD. depended52. A. disappearedB. vanishedC. restrictedD. flourished53. A. relateB. connect C. damageD. concern54. A. completelyB. partiallyC

42、na National Culture and Art Company Ltd.D. Art Company Ltd. ( B )London has a new magazine. But it is not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV. In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to di

43、al the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There is a wide choiceeverything is included from cooking to the latest sports news. If you want to read the news , the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Th

44、en you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109 so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrib

45、le so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the weeks best bargains. But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated a

46、ll the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.London already has three services. One, transmitted (传播) by ITV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts. Although CEE

47、FAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of

48、printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.68. This novelty of the magazine lies in _.A. paperlessness B. unique viewpointC. simplicity in operation D. quickness in transmission69. We know from the passage that _.A. the new magazine is available at any local n

49、ewsagentB. most of the postmen in London will lose their jobs somedayC. readers can get all kinds of information staying at homeD. everyone can read the new magazine as soon as they turn on the television70. In the sentence “Each page of it is numbered” (Line 1-2, Para.2）, “it” refers to the _ . A.

50、decoder B. magazineC. program D. subject 71. According to the passage, the “decoder” （Line 1, Para.2）, is used to help people _ .A. calculate the sum of certain figuresB. receive some special TV programs for entertainmentC. do shopping and have other entertainmentD. read the information transmitted

51、by TV signals ( C )Recent research has claimed that an excess of positive ions (离子)in the air can have an ill effect on peoples physical or psychological health. What are positive ions? Well, the air is full of ions, electrically charged particles, and generally there is a rough balance between the

52、positive and the negative charged. But sometimes this balance becomes disturbed and a larger proportion of positive ions are found. This happens naturally before thunderstorms, earthquakes or when winds such as the Mistral, Foehn, Hamsin or Sharav are blowing in certain countries. Or it can be cause

53、d by a build-up of static electricity（静电）indoors from carpets or clothing made of man-made fibres, or from TV sets, duplicators or computer display screens.When a large number of positive ions are present in the air many people experience unpleasant effects such as headaches, fatigue, irritability,

54、and some particularly sensitive people suffer nausea or even mental disturbance. Animals are also found to be affected, particularly before earthquakes. Snakes have been observed to come out of hibernation, rats to flee from their burrows, dogs howl and cats jump about unaccountably. This has led th

55、e US Geographical Survey to fund a network of volunteers to watch animals in an effort to foresee such disasters before they hit vulnerable areas such as California.On the other hand, when large numbers of negative ions are present, then people have a feeling of well-being. Natural conditions that produce these large amounts are near the sea, close to waterfalls or fountains, or in any place where water is sprayed, or forms a spray. This probably accounts for the beneficial effect of a holiday by the sea, or in the mountains with tumbling streams or waterfalls.To increase the s
