III.Reading Comprehension
Television, the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. And the word ‘television’ means seeing far.
　　Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventions and researchers had turned the early theories into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become industry.
　　The influence of TV on the life of the people is incalculable:it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black - and - white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.
　　The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite,more and more programs are telecast ‘live’ from all over the world.
　　People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outer space.In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic ‘moon walk’ to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.
　　21．The launching of communications satellites made it possible for people in San Francisco to _________.
　　A．get close-up views of operations
　　B．store knowledge
　　C．watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo
　　D．watch national programs 
 
　 　　 　　答案：C
　　[解析]答案应该在最后一段Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast “live”from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo.可以判断出答案是C。 
 
22．The development of science and technology made it possible for television programs to __________.
A．be telecast in full color
B．be telecast in San Francisco
C．be telecast in Tokyo
D．be telecast in black - and - white 
 
　 　　 　　答案：A
　　［解析］答案应该在第三段With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color. 
 
23．The word ‘incalculable’ means ________.
A．easy to tell
B．very great
C．difficult to tell
D．very small 
 
　 　　 　　答案：B
　　［解析］这道题需要根据上下文来判断，第三段的主题句是The influence of TV on the life of the people is incalculable: 后面解释 用了It can ……. ; It also can …. 通过这两个结构我们可以看出电视对人生活的影响是无数的。这道题还可以通过构词法来判断，calculate的意思是计算，因此incalculable 的意思是“无数的，数不尽的”
 
24．Television is said to be the modern wonder of electronics, because _______.
A．it influences people’s way of life
B．it makes people see far
C．it brings the world into people’s own home in sight and sound

Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension
Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive design is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather uninteresting book. You soon become lost in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keep some forgotten appointment - without buying a book, of course.
　　The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is,I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can go to such places as much as you wish.If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting: “ Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. You may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. But when he has led you there, the assistant should leave politely and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
　　26．The best title for this passage may be ______.
　　A．The Attraction of Bookshops
　　B．How To Spend Your Time
　　C．Bookshops and Their Assistants
　　D. Buying Books

　　A．to chat with assistants in a bookshop
　　B．to take a walk in the streets
　　C．t1o make some appointment in a bookshop
　　D．to stay reading books of various kinds in a bookshop 
 
　 　　 　　答案：D 
　　［解析］答案应该在第二段中找The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop.最好的逃离每天现实生活的途径就是在书店里读各种各样的书籍。
 
28．In a good bookshop, _________.
　　A．all the books there are interesting
　　B．you are satisfied
　　C．you can find shelter from a shower
　　D．you need to buy something you don’t want 
 
　 　　 　　答案：B
　　［解析］本题可以用排除法，A. all the books there are interesting 在一个好书店里，所有的书籍都很有趣，这个选项有些太绝对；C you can find shelter from a shower 在一个好书店，你可以找到一个躲避阵雨的地方。这个选项虽然在文章中提到，有些人到书店是为了躲雨，但并不是在好的书店你的目的就是躲雨，你可以在任何一家书店躲雨。D you need to buy something you don’t want 在好的书店，你需要买你不需要的东西，这个选项很显然不对。
 
29．An assistant in a bookshop helps you _______.
　　A．on your entering the shop
　　B．just before you finish reading
　　C．only when you want to find out where a particular section is
　　D．when you are reading 
 
　 　　 　　答案：C
　　［解析］答案在最后一段找In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. You may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. 在书店里，店员只是在你想知道具体的书籍的位置时，他才会帮你。

　 Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.
　　Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school.

The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.
