Obviously 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 don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the
opera .All they have to so 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 the has a remote control. He makes no choice
and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive 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 politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought
right into one’s 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 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 do
things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes
one think, doesn’t 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 it is put to that determine its value to society.
21. What is the major function of
paragraph 1?
A. To arouse the reader’s
concern
B. To introduce the theme of the
whole passage
C. To summarize the whole passage
D. To sate the primary uses of TV
22. Television, as a source of
entertainment, is ______.
A. not very
convenient B. very expensive
C. quite
dangerous D.
relatively cheap
23. Why are some people against
TV?
A. Because TV programs re not
interesting
B. Because TV viewers are totally
passive
C. Because TV prices are very
high.
D. Because TV has both advantages
and disadvantages
24. One of the most obvious
advantages of TV is that ______.
A. it keeps us informed
B. it is very cheap
C. it enables us to have a rest
D. it controls our lives
25. According to the passage,
whether TV is good or not depends on
_______ .
A. its quality
B. people ’s attitude towards it
C. how we use
it D. when we use it
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5
questions or unfinished statements are numbered 26 to 30.
Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such
food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not
serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually
begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common
symptoms.
Certain microorganisms（微生物）cause
most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison
eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these
tiny living things release（释放）poisons
that make people sick. W_w w.k*s*5
u.c@o m
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food
while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers
spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad
reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people.
These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and
mushrooms. W_w w.k*s*5 u.c@o m
When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small.
Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This
means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on
unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms
from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous
microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before
eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that
grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are
poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.
Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and
drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the
hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.
