A
Reading to oneself is modern activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading〞undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.
One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction〔分散注意力〕to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.
The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy〔读写才能〕and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.
Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.
By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skill in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term “reading〞 referred to.
56. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?
A. Because silent reading had not been discovered.
B. Because few people could read for themselves.
C. Because there were few places for private reading.
D. Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.
57. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed .
A. a change in the nature of reading
B. a change in the position of literate people
C. an increase in the number of books
D. an increase in the average age of readers
58. Educations are still arguing about .
A. the amount of information provided by books and newspapers
B. the importance of silent reading
C. the value of different types of reading material
D. the effects of reading on health
59. What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?
A. To show how reading methods have improved.
B. To encourage the growth of reading.
C. To change people’s way to read.
D. To explain how present-day reading habits developed.
B
This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn,George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. “Back home, you pi ck up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.〞
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评) American schools〞, h e says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.〞60. This year _____ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
A. over three thousand

C. twenty three hundred
D. less than two thousand

C
Recently a group of children in America poured some gasoline on a sleeping man and set him on fire. When caught, the children said they had done what they’d seen on TV.
The incidents make people angry who believe that American children are harmed by watching too much TV. They claim children can’t tell between the fiction of TV and reality, and TV distracts them from learning and makes them violent.
To estimate the impact of TV on young people, “Life〞 magazine hires a company to interview hundreds of school children in Nora Springs, Iowa and in Dallas, Texas. Although the two cities are very different, the company finds children in each city watch the same TV shows.
Many Iowa children, who watch an average of three hours of TV a day, recognizing that life on TV is rosier than what they experience. Their favourite shows are situation comedies about American families in trouble. Many boys like violent shows about police detectives or heroes, girls particularly soap operas-stories about families and friends.
On the whole, children find real violence on news programs hard to take. “If you
see a bus crash on the news, it’s frightening,〞 one fifth grader says. By and large, the Iowa children agree that the best thing about TV is it makes you laugh.
Children in Dallas are savvier about programs of drug use on TV. “They don’t really show them doing it right. On TV they are not real.〞 A fifth grader says.
“Life〞 agrees with a 1988 study by the U. S Department of education that finds children are none the worse for watching TV. The study finds TV doesn’t have lasting effect on children. On the contrary, kids show good judgment about what they watch. “There are very few good shows on TV anymore,〞 a 10-year-old boy says.
While the debate about TV is so heated, the “Life〞 survey gives hope that American kids aren’t wasting three or four hours a day (what is worse, by the time young people enter college today, they will have devoted more time to watching television than they will spend in college). However, a child watching TV isn’t reading a good book or joining in healthful sports.
65. The main idea of the passage is .
A.children who watch more TV are smarter than those who watch only one hour a day
B. children learn about drugs from watching TV
C. watching too much TV can cause children to go out and kill people
D.children learn from TV and can tell reality from what they see on it
66. Children who see real violence on TV news programs .
A.change the channel to watch other programs
B. live in Iowa or Texas
C.are sometimes upset and scared
D. think TV gives a very positive image of friendship
67. Children who enter college today .
A. usually cause the satisfaction of the society
B. think life on TV is happier than their life at home
C. have spent more time watching TV than they will spend in college
D.watch most the same TV shows as children in Dallas
68. The “Life〞 survey of children’s TV habits .
A.concludes that watching up to seven hours a day of TV is good for children
B.agrees with the U.S. Department of Education study that finds few negative effects from watching TV
C.concludes that there aren’t any good shows on TV any more
D.concludes that children shouldn’t pour gasoline on sleeping man
D
COLUMBUS, Ohio—The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was unusual. The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue drapes〔消毒帷帘〕and lying face up on a narrow table. But no one was touching him.
Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-size d holes in the man’s chest. At the ends of the robot’s arms were tiny metal fingers, with turning wrists, which held a tiny instrument, a light and a camera. The robot’s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall K. Wolf, sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.
This sort of operation, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest
change in their profession since heart bypass surgery〔心脏搭桥手术〕began nearly 30 years ago. “The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands,〞 said Dr. Wolf, the director of the surgery at Ohio State. The robot’s dainty fingers, no longer than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.
Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients’ chests. Instead of directl y staring into a patient’s body, surgeons will view magnified images of the operation on computer screens. In theory, the doctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country, as the patient.
69. In this passage, the underlined word “dain ty〞 means ______.
A. weak
B. small
C. fat
D. quick
70. According to the passage, the reason that most operations require large cuts is that ______.
A. patients have large organs
B. surgeons have large hands
C. large cuts take less time
D. large cuts cost less money
71. The main idea of this passage is that heart surgery by robots ______.
A. is quicker than surgery done by doctors
B. may replace surgery done by doctors
C. is a new and risky procedure
D. was developed at Ohio State University
72. Based on the information in this passage, all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT ______.
A. Robot surgery is being developed at Ohio State
B. Robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near future
C. All doctors at Ohio Sate develop new surgical techniques
D. Many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients

Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, the Five Friendlies will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2021 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace and blessings from China to children all over the world.
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, the Five Friendlies also embody the natural characteristics of four of China’s most popular animals—the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow—and the Olympic Flame.
Each of the Friendlies has a rhyming two-syllable name—a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.
When you put their names together—Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni—they say “Welcome to Beijing,〞 offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of the Five Friendlies as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.
The Five Friendlies also embody both the landscape and the dreams and aspirations of people from every part of the vast country of China. In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature—the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky—all stylistic rendered in ways that represent the deep traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation.
