Poll reveals TV news too negative
A recent Time/CNN poll in the USA has discovered that 75% of people agreed that the news media is "sensationalist", 63~ found it "too negative" and 73~~ said they are "skeptical about the accuracy" of the news they are receiving.
Local news programmes in the USA are so dominated by stories of violence and crime that other topics like government, education and the environment are left with little airtime. Network broadcaster John Walters claimed, "This lack of information bas resulted in negative feelings towards the media."
Crime reports, which often serve as lead stories, make up an average of 30. 2% of news time on local TV news programmes in the USA. Media researcher Bob Smith reported, "53% of crime reports are about murder, hut it is one of the least frequently committed crimes. ' Another media study revealed that 42~ of :iii local TV news broadcasts are stories about crime, disaster and war.
One possible reason for this is that local television news is ratings driven. Some market research suggests that viewers like to see stories of crime and violence, which increases the ratings of newscasts. Higher ratings mean higher advertising revenues. Mike Adams, a television executive, explained, "The increase in crime reports is because, on average, almost half the money a local station makes comes from news."
Many experts believe a steady diet of violence-oriented news broadcasts has serious effects. A spokesman for the National Television Violence Committee stated, "There are three main risks associated with viewing media violence. People learn aggressive behaviour. They become desensitised to real-world violence. These lead to an increased fear of being a victim of violence, resulting in mistrust of others." Questions 36--40
36. The majority of people polled think that the news media is accurate.
37. There is not enough time to talk about a wider range of subjects on the news.
38. 420~ of all crimes committed are murders.
39. Advertising companies invest in TV programmes with high ratings.
40. TV stations make too much money from news.

Some office procedures may be unfamiliar if you are a new comer in America.
Again, matters of time and pace crop up. Work days officially start at 9:00 A.M. This should really mean 9 o'clock-not ten past or half past nine. Y ou will find some people feel free with starting time, but employers notice this even though they do not necessarily blame it officially.
Employees in many nations have an idea that one works when the boss is present, but any time he is not there, if there is nothing specific or pressing to do, one can relax by reading the newspaper, doing one's
fingernails, or otherwise "passing the time" in a personal way. In America one is being paid for one's time. Employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are dear, to finish anything left from previous days, or to help someone else with his work--but never sit without doing their duty. The employer expects value for the money he is spending. He "owns" your time while he is paying for it. The phrase "time is money," means exactly that. The boss is not asking more of you than he is doing himself; he will quite probably work through lunch hour and even take work home late at night.
Employee's lunch hours should be kept within the given time (unless one is officially discussing company business. ) Long lunch-time absence may be overlooked now and then, but not habitually. Also, although others may start getting ready to leave the office a few minutes earlier, new employees should be careful not to cut the day short. Work until the day officially ends at five o'clock if you are in an office where flexible work time is the accepted procedure. Flexible work hours--starting or ending work earlier or later--are fairly common in Europe but relatively new in the U. S. A.
Some half million Americans are on the system; some people estimate that ten million will have that option sooner or later. The system is designed to ease traffic problems at first. But it adds family time to women workers as a result, for it enables them to choose their time working in an office, thus allowing them more chances to work and take care of their children at the same time. Besides it gives people a greater sense of control over their lives. A by-product appears to be greater worker productivity, less absenteeism and a higher sense of work ethic.
26. In the first paragraph, the phrase "crop up" means _______
A. matter a great deal
B. be very important
C. account much
D. happen or arise
27. In the sentence "...but employers notice this even though they do not necessarily blame it officially", the pronoun "this" refers to the fact that _______
A. some people feel free to do whatever they want to do
B. this or that employee is late for work
C. work days officially start at 9:00 A. M
D. nine o'clock means nine o'clock exactly
28. The author suggests that it be a wrong idea that _______ in America.
A. if one is not busy, he can relax by reading the newspaper
B. one is being paid or one's time
C. one should keep working no matter (无论) the boss is present or not
D. time is money
29. A new employee should be careful __
A. to come to the office ahead of schedule
B. to follow the working procedure
C, not to leave the office until the day officially ends
D. not to take too much time for lunch
30. What is not true as far as flexible working time is considered?
A. It has greatly reduced the traffic problem.
B. It adds family time to women workers.
C. It brings forward a greater working productivity.
D. It gives people a greater sense of control over their lives.

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA . There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of stone American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world.

A few newspapers support extremist (极端分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt lo attract middle of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to
present a balanced picture.
As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the V ietnam War.

Many people in the UK have done parachute or bungee jumps for charity. People like to help charities and if they can have a bit of fun at the same time then everyone is happy. Usually the person doing the jump has responded to an advertisement in the paper asking for volunteers. The person receives a sponsorship form from the charity, which they complete with the names of friends, relatives and colleagues who promise to give money to the charity if the person does the jump. Once the person has enough sponsorship, he or she will do the jump and usually receives a certificate to show their sponsors. The sponsors then pay their money to the charity.

Dear Uncle Ric ,
We were very sorry to hear that you are in hospital again, but I feel sure you' II be out and about again soon. It doesn't sound very serious this time according to Auntie Ivy and in any case you have already recovered from the operation so quickly.
Malcolm has been working very hard all this year, because he is sitting some examinations this month and he is determined to study History at the University of Oxford. Although the sun has been shining all day today, he has been sitting at home reading about the history of the French Revolution. Fortunately he loves books, especially history books. He spends all his time and money on books.
James is totally different from his brother. He might be too young to know better. He gets bored with school and studying. But he is very keen on games. He never stays indoors when the weather is reasonably fine, and today he has been playing tennis for hours with his friends. He is fond of football , but tennis is his favorite. He said that he wanted to become a professional player. His mother doesn't really approve.
Robin sends you her love. We are looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon. I am sending this letter through the e-mail to Auntie Ivy and she will bring it to the hospital with our best wishes to you for a speedy recovery.
Lots of love
Trevor

Cash of al1 kinds, the French franc, the German mark, and the Italian lira. is bound to disappear physical1y. The paper notes and gold coins may soon become curious col1ections of the pre-electronic age. Digital money can replace every use of cash money. It is true that electronic money has been around for decades. Each week billions of institutional dollars flow through the Interbank Payment System through telephone wires and satellite links. But in the 21st century, entirely new forms of digital money一including electronic cash and "computerized" smart cards -will become the means of most personal financial trade. What a great change this will be!
Digital credit cards, smart cards , electronic wallets and electronic checks will change our way of life in
the 21st century. They are efficient and easy to use. Customers will not take money with them when they go shopping. They will pay their bills from a smart cell phone or they will buy their coffee by using a digital credit card. How convenient it will be! And how easily people will do their shopping in such a way!
With so many changes these days, the Internet will help speed up the end of cash. In Europe, some banks have been offering people electronic cash since late last year. Customers can withdraw money from their accounts through the bank' s website and store their incomes on their home PCs. As the electronic cash is downloaded, the customers' bank accounts are recorded. Since customers can use electronic cash to buy things on the Internet, electronic cash will transform the Internet into a global marketplace for everything. It is going to have a very big impact on our lives.
The low cost of computer and communications has created a worldwide medium not just for finance , but also for many other things in our life. The Age of Internet has brought e-businesses to our life, which perhaps will form the backbone of our economy. Mom and Pop can go global -all from the comfort of their easy chairs. Citizens will have access to e-government with its website offering a wide range of governmental information, policy and services.
Racing into the 21st Century, people all over the world are building up a series of IT projects , which is surely a part of the global future. People all over the world have been working for a brilliant future for centuries and it now seems the dream might come true very soon.

Passage 1
I never used to go anywhere without the car. I regarded it as an essential part of myself. But when the price of gas doubled in this year, I decided not to use the car except when absolutely necessary.
For example, I always used to take the car when I went to fetch the papers on Sunday mornings, although our newsagent's is only 10 minutes' walk away. Now I go on foot.
I tell myself that I'm not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time. It's all a question of habit really. I' m sure you can get used to anything if you try and already feel that I rely on the car less than I used to.
Besides, now that we live in the suburbs, I can walk down the road and catch a bus to the office or to any part of the town. We used to live in the country about 15 miles from town and then I would frequently drive to and fro twice in one day. That meant I would use 15 gallons of oil or more in a week. Now 1 only need half that amount.
The trouble is that I am also getting used to the gas prices. They don't seem so high to me any more. Perhaps it is easier to get used to expensive gas than it is to doing without the car.

27. In the sentence "It's all a question of habit really," the pronoun "It" refers to .
A. saving the gas
B. keeping fit
C. not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time
D. not relying too much on the car
28. To go to the newsagent's to get his newspaper, the author .
A. used to walk for 10 minutes
B. used to drive his car
C. walked down the road to the office
D. walked for 10 minutes to keep fit
29. We know from the passage that the author .
A. is getting used to living in the country about 15 miles from town
B. used to go to and come back from town twice a day by car
C. usually buys 15 gallons of oil or more in a week
D. only spends 7. 5 pounds on gas now
30. The last sentence of the passage suggests that .
A. the author still can not get used to doing without the car

C. it is easy to use gas at high prices
D. the price of gas is not high any more

Welcome to San Francisco
Native American tribes lived on the land now known as California before the 1500s until the Spanish colonised the area in the 17"1 century. They gave San Francisco its name. Gold was discovered in the nearby hills in 1848, starting the Gold Rush, when poor people came from all over the world to make their fortune. The vast mix of races has probably contributed to its famous liberal attitude, shown by the beat generation, hippies and the largest gay community in the world.
Hotels range from the luxurious (you can stay in The Hyatt on Union Square, which is expensive) to the basic (Gold Rush Hostel, which is cheap youth dormitories or simple rooms). San Francisco Guest Services, situated at the airport, can help you to book ahead.
Y ou can eat every type of food cooked by nearly every ethnic group in the world because they all live in San Francisco; Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese are all here—at every price from 5-star restaurants to tiny street stalls. But best of all is the seafood, which comes fresh from the Pacific Ocean and is on your table in minutes.
The most famous sight in San Francisco is the Golden Gate Bridge. Also don't miss a boat trip to the island prison of Alcatraz—from which no one has ever escaped alive, although a few tried to swim across the freezing bay through the dangerous currents to reach the mainland. Boats leave every forty-five minutes, but booking is essential. Take a walk through Chinatown in the centre of the city. Chinatown was started by Chinese immigrants in the first days of the Gold Rush, and is now a vast city within a city. Here Chines e is still spoken in every shop, restaurant and temple every day. Get onto the cable cars and ride up and down San Francisco' s famous hills, ring the bell and hang on the sides. At only $ 1 it's the cheapest thrill in the world.
Drive along the coast to the north of the city into wine country, where you can taste and buy the finest Californian wines, or take an eight-hour-boat trip far from the coast to see the biggest mammal of all the time — the blue whale.
Fact file
By air
San Francisco International Airport — 14 miles south of the city. Accessible by bus and shared-taxi service.
Oakland International Airport — further from the city, but easily reached by a Rapid Transport Link.
By sea
Cruise ships of five major cruise lines arrive at Pier 35 in San Francisco Bay.
By car
San Francisco is on Highway 101 over the Golden Gate and Interstate 80 over the Bay Bridge.
Questions 31—35 are based on Passage 2.
31. San Francisco got its name from .
A. native Americans
B. Spanish colonists
C. modern Americans
D. British colonists
32. During , many poor people went to San Francisco to make their fortune.
A. the Gold Rush

D. the British colonial period
33. San Francisco has been known for its famous liberal attitude shown by .
