24、 TVs in American homes. And it would make Frank Vespe very happy this week if every last one was turned off.Vespe is the head of the TV-Turnoff Network, the Washington Organization behind TV Turnoff Week.For TV Turnoff week, American kids are encouraged to go one week without watching TV. This year

25、it runs from April 2329. "Our real message here is to see what life is like without TV and then make watching TV a conscious decision.” said Vespe.Vespe said that most of the kids who go without television for a week go back to watching, but not as much. "They watch more selectively. They

26、do more things as a family. It helps them put TV in its place."One kid who is turning off her television is Sarah Foote, 9, of Virginia. Sarah admits it won't be too hard to give up TV. She's allowed to watch only educational television, and her favourite show from last year isn't o

27、n any more.Of course, there are plenty of good things about TV: programmes can be entertaining, even educational. Even so, some experts aren't sure TV Turnoff Week is the answer."Too much TV is not good. A little bit of TV for young kids is good because it adds to their vocabulary. The bott

28、om line is moderation (节制)." says Susan Neuman, a university educator who studies kids and reading.Neuamn says the real problem is that parents, do not keep track of what their kids are watching.They dont set limits on TV viewing. Also, in some families, TV might be the only thing to do.What me

29、ssage does Sarah have for other kids'?"It's a very good idea. I survived a whole week without TV. It also teaches you to enjoy time doing different things and not being sucked into something on TV, because you do not want TV taking up all of your time." Sarah said.51. From the firs

To praise Vespe and his organization.BMany new students find it hard to do all the study that has to be done; they find themselves

34、 putting off reading assignment, jumping from subject to another and rarely being quite certain what they are trying to do during a particular study session. The best way to overcome these difficulties and to start studying efficiently is to plan your time and organize your work. Let us suppose that

35、 you have 15 hours per week of classes and that you decide to allow yourself a 40-hour working week (a reasonable figure, leaving you 70 waking hours for other activities).You now have to decide how to divide the remaining 25 hours of private study. Naturally the decisions you make will change from

36、week to week according to what essays have to be written and what reading has to be done. Many people find it helpful to draw up each week a seven-day timetable showing the occasions on which they will be working privately and the particular subjects that will be studying on each occasion. By checki

37、ng such a plan at times during the week, you can see what you have done and what you have still to do: the whole plan becomes more manageable. There are a number of places where you can studycollege library, public library, home, empty classrooms, on bus or trainand each has several obvious advantag

38、es and disadvantages. The college library is least busy in the evening, on Wednesday afternoon, and all day Friday and Saturday.When you are deciding where to study, keep the following suggestions in mind:1. Try to study always in the same place. After a while the familiar surroundings will help you

39、 to switch into the right frame of mind as soon as you sit down.2. Find somewhere with as few distractions as possible.3. Make sure that your study place has a good light and is warm (but not too warm ) and well aired.56. Many new students find it hard .A. to make a good start B. to study efficientl

40、y C. to delay their reading D. to jump from subject to subject 57. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. Plan your time and organize your work.B. Overcome your difficulties.C. Be certain what you can do.D. Find a quiet place for study.58. A students organization of his work will need to change acco

41、rding to .A. how many hours he is awake B. how many subjects are required C. how many lectures he misses D. what he has to write and read that week 59. A student is advised to make a weekly plan and to check it from time to time in order to _.A. see whether he has calculated it properly B. see what

42、day of the week is C. see what work still needs doing D. see how he feels at the whole week 60. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a place where you can study?A. The bus B. The train C. Home D. A public house CTUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it will be swal

43、lowed up by the sea.Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalus nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the countrys drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the c

44、ountrys days are numbered.But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Marks Square, the lowest p

45、oint city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, global warming causes Tuvalus rising sea level.The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; sc

46、ientists expect it rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川) melt, and adds more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last

47、 100 years.The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer. Many scientists believe that, if the war

48、ming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.61. We can infer from the second paragraph

49、that .A. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the seaB. all Tuvalus islands are about five meters above the sea levelC. drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyedD. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves62. The author uses Tuvalu and Venice as examples in order to explain .A. they are

50、the first place sinking into the sea B. they are both sinking into the mud where they standC. they will disappear in the futureD. their trouble is caused by global warming63. Put the following events in the right order.a. Glaciers began to melt. b. People burn coal ,oil and gas. c. The greenhouse ef

51、fect is growing. d. The earth is getting warmer and warmer. e. The sea level is rising. f. More CO2 is produced. g. Many places are sinking into the sea.A. d,f,b,c,a,e,gB. b,f,c,d,e,a,gC. f,c,b,d,a,e,gD. b,f,c,d,a,e,g64. What does “climate refugees” mean?A. Climate changes.B. Climate effect. C. Peop

52、le forced away from their homeland by climate. D. Rare animals moving from place to place for climate changes.65. Which of the following is False according to the passage?A. The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years for warmer temperatures.B. The average global temperature has ris

53、en by 1-3 centigrade degrees over the past 100 years.C. The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.D. There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped. DWhen people advise your children to “get an education”, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get

54、 just enough education to give manpower for your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally(职业上) dead, unless your name happens to be George Washington or Thomas Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary schools.Get a college degree, if possible. Wi

55、th a BA, you should start to find a job. You have to put on the brakes now. If you do go for a masters degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a first-class university. Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing(报酬递减率)begins to work.Do you know, for example, that long-distance truck drivers make

56、more money a year than full professors? Yes, each driver was paid $ 28,000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $ 27,930.A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future.
