Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sport programs for the major U. S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air.1. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons ________.A．result in more sport eventsB．get more viewers to play sportsC．make more people interested in televisionD．bring more money to the television networks2. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A．Because there would be few viewers.B．Because the advertisers would be off work.C．Because television programs would go slowly.D．Because viewers would pay less for watching television. 3. In many families, men make decisions on ________.A．holiday trips B．sports viewingC．television shopping D．expensive purchases4. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because ________.A．their advertisers are carmakersB．their viewers are attracted by sportsC．their advertisers target at rich peopleD．their viewers can afford expensive cars5. What is the passage mainly about?A．Television ratings are determined by male viewers.B．Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C．Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D．Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.【要点综述】本文叙述的是通过在星期六和星期日的下午播放一些电视节目来吸引那些高收入的人来看，给广告带来了极大的效益。

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.1. Why did the author follow her son?A. Because there might be danger.B. Because her son was doing a good deed.C. Because she intended to help.D.

2022高考英语二轮阅读理解一百六十集选练（21）及（解析）答案阅读理解。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

Today, ultrasonic(超声的) waves are being put to work in laboratories and factories. If an ultrasound generator is placed in a liquid, the waves move the liquid back and forth hundreds of thousands of times each second. This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解，使溶解) in liquids. Paint manufacturers(制造商) use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors. The companies that make film for your camera find that mixing chemicals by the use of sound waves will produce a more sensitive film.The new lightweight(轻量的) type of washing machine uses ultrasonic waves to get clothes clean. Its special ultrasound generator is put into a pail of soapy water containing the soiled clothes. The sound waves drive the soapy water back and forth through the cloth so fast that everything is soon clean. There is also a new kind of dishwasher that works in much the same way.Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it. The liquid is actually torn apart by this action. Almost as soon as these holes are made, they fall together again. The result is a powerful pounding action. In the dairy industry this is used for the double purpose of making homogenized(使均匀，使匀质) milk and sterilizing(使无菌) it at the same time. If you look at some raw milk with a microscope, you find that it is made up of little drops of butter fat floating around in a watery liquid. In order to make milk easier to digest, these fatdroplets(微粒) may be broken up by forcing the milk through very small openings. The result is called homogenized milk. When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces. (from )1. Why does a paint manufacturer use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors?A. Because it is cheap to use ultrasound to blend colors.B. Because the waves move the liquid so quickly that it can make materials mix quickly or dissolve in liquids.C. Because they can mix chemicals by the use of sound waves.D. Because the waves can clean the paint.2. What properties does ultrasound wave have?A. Homogenizes and sterilizes the milk.B. Mix materials and break droplets.C. Kill germs and sterilize milk.D. Move liquids quickly.3. What exists in the raw milk?A. Little drops of butter fat.B. Small holes.C. Fat droplets and germs.D. Chemicals. 4. Where is ultrasound wave not used?A. In the paint manufacture.B. In the shop mixing bread flour.C. In the film-making company.D. In the dairy industry.1. B 事实细节题。
