21、0分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AObviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people dont have to pay for expensive seats at th
22、e theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if
23、 he has a remote control. He makes no choice, does no exercises, and makes no judgment. He is completely passive （被动的）and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and po
24、litics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into ones sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has
25、 a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to
26、do things and that they actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesnt it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value to society.46. The main function of par
27、agraph 1 is to _. A. introduce the theme of the whole passage B. summarize the whole passage C. arouse the readers interest D. state the primary uses of TV47. Television, as a source of entertainment, is _. ks5u A. not very convenient B. very expensive C. quite dangerous D. relatively cheap48. Some
28、people are against TV because _. A. TV programs are not interesting. B. TV viewers are totally passive. C. TV has more disadvantages. D. TV prices are very high.49. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that _. A. it is very cheap B. it controls our lives C. it keeps us informed D. it enables
29、us to have a rest50. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _. A. where we buy it B. how we think about it C. how we use it D. where we use itBLast year more than 13 Korean TV series were introduced in China. Turn on the TV, and Korean beauties are appearing during peak viewi
30、ng times(黄金时段). Some of the dramas are being repeated, but audiences continue to watch them. Why are the South Korean TV series loved by so many Chinese people? Cheng Yiting, a student from East China Normal University, gives us her reasons. She thinks that the good-looking actors with cool clothes
31、and the beautiful sight in the dramas are the selling points for South Korean TV dramas. But what attracted the young audiences most is the pure and moving love stories.And it seems that South Korean TV series have also won the hearts of middle-aged people. They are touched by the morals in the show
32、s. These include the importance of respecting elders and social order. Though some people think South Korean TV series are too slow and too long, most of the Chinese audiences like them. Maybe we are really tired of Western TV series. Compared with that, South Korean TV series are not bad.51What doe
33、s the underlined word morals mean?A志向 B情节 C道德 D垃圾ks5u52Which of the following is not mentioned about South Korean TV?ALoveBMoralsCSocial orderDSelf-respect53What is the most important reason why South Korean TV series are popular with the young audiences?AThe series are slow and long. BThe actors we
34、ar cool clothes.CThe stories are pure and moving. DThe actors are good-looking.54What do you know about South Korean TV series from the passage?AThirteen more South Korean TV series will be introduced to China.BYoung audiences like South Korean TV series better than middle aged people.CAll the South
35、 Korean TV series will be repeated this year.DSome Chinese think part of South Korean TV series are worth watching twice.55What does the writer want to tell us?AWe are tired of South Korean TV series.BSouth Korean TV series are a great success and popular in China.CSouth Korean TV series are better
36、than Chinese TV series.DWe can learn a lot from Korean TV series so we need to watch them again and again.CIn England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They
37、 prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one
38、 had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs o
39、f your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, You
40、 might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume (认为) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating (旋转) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In tha
41、t country you shake your head to express “yes” a nod means “no”.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting, talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an
42、attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult its just not done. Attitudes to women vary considerably around the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.Knowing abou
43、t customs and attitudes is useful when you are travelling, but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (礼节).56. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed because _.A. they didnt know the English languageB. the bus conductor told them to jump the
44、 queueC. they didnt know the custom of lining up for a busD. they thought they were looked down upon57. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “insulting” in Para. 1?A. Modest. B. Entertaining. C. Misunderstanding. D. Rude.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage? A.
45、 In Europe, using the left hand is considered less respected.B. In India, the left hand is not used as a sign of respect to others. C. In Thailand, youd better cross your legs when sitting or talking. D. In Japan, it is considered bad manners to touch the head of an adult.59. The underlined sentence
46、 “Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty” means in Bulgaria _.A. you are probably thirsty if you nod your headB. youre possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your headC. you probably refuse to drink when you nod your headD. youd like to have a cup of tea
47、 because you nod your head60. We can infer from the passage that _.A. in Asian countries, women are equal to men in every fieldB. learning a language well is a necessity before going abroad C. attitudes to women vary from country to countryD. in Japan, men are still the centre of the familyDThe huge
48、 explosion at Krakatau was the result of two different factors. One was that the volcano(火山) had not broken out for some time and so at the very center of the volcano there was a huge plug of lava(熔岩), which acted like a cork(塞子) in a bottle, stopping the pressure below from being released(释放). The
49、second factor was that ocean water entered the very centre of the volcano as the explosions became more violent. This caused superheated steam to build up enormous pressure and this was finally released in the largest explosion of all on August 27, 1883. The sudden release of the pressure sent huge
50、amounts of ash, rock and dust into the sky. Some of the ash rose 80km into the air and traveled around the Earth causing brightly coloured sunsets for several years.Krakatau almost disappeared; for many years after this explosion, it remained very quiet. However, there was still activity going on un
51、der the sea and on 25 January, 1925, a small volcanic cone(园锥形物) appeared above the surface of the water. This new volcano was named Anak Kmkatau, or Child of Krakatau. Over the following years, the size of the island grew larger, by 1959, the island was 300 metres above the surface of the sea. The
52、volcanic activity has continued and the latest eruptions were in 1995.There is no doubt Krakatau will continue to grow and there is also strong evidence that at some point in the future there will be another violent explosion. Krakatau is in a part of the world where the surface of the Earth is unst
53、able and is always moving and cracking. If, in the future, another “cork” becomes fixed in the centre of the volcano, the pressure will build up. A series of a smaller explosions will allow sea-water into the centre of the volcano and once again the result will be a terribly destructive explosion. 6
54、1. The latest eruptions were in_.A.1925 B. 1959 C. 1995 D. 198362. The pressure under the volcano can not be released because _.A. the plug looks like a cork in a bottle B. the volcano hasnt broken out for some timeC. the center of the volcano is blocked by lava D. the temperature of the steam is no
55、t high enough.63. We can infer from the article that Krakatau volcano_.A. has broken out three times B. never dies but continues to be activeC. will kill many people again in the future D. is always moving and growing above sea.64. All of the following results are caused by the explosion at Krakatau
56、 EXCEPT that_.A. ash, rock and dust was thrown high into the air B. other small volcanoes were soon produced.C. the island of Krakatau was destroyed D. people saw beautiful sunsets for some years65. The article is mainly about_.A. the cause of the Krakatau volcano B. the danger of the Krakatau volca

According to Professor Li, it is very important to stay calm when an earthquake
78、happens. If we are in a building, we must try to cut off electricity and gas, and then stay in a place with little space, such as staying in the toilet, under a desk or a bed. After the earthquake, we should leave the dangerous area immediately in case of strong aftershocks. If a person is unfortunately enough and is trapped/buried under the ruins, he should try saving himself first, and if without success, he should try to save strength and wait for rescue.
