George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family.

He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didn’t like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there.

You should decide on the best choices and write the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage OneQuestion11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Hi. I’m Jeff ery Benzos. When I first had the idea of selling books on the Internet, I went to my boss and said to him, “You know, I’m going to start this company selling books online.” This was something that I had already been talking to him about, but then he said, “Let’s go on a walk.”And we went on a two-hour walk in the Central Park in New York City.After walking for a while, he said, “You know, this sounds like a really good idea to me, but it might be a better idea for somebody who didn’t already have a good job.” He let me think about it for 48 hours before making the finally decision.When I talked to my wife about this, she thought I was doing the right thing and said, “Look, you know I’ll always support you, whatever you want to do.” So it really was a decision that I had to make for myself. I imagined myself at the age of 80 and saying, “Okay, now I’m looking back on my life. I hope that I have had as few regrets in my life as possible.” I knew that when I was 80 I was not growing regret having tried this.

Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914, Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny things like the people on children’s programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That’s the time it takes on the screen.16. In the past, many young people ______.A) knew the effects of warB) went in for politicsC) liked to save the wounded in warsD) were willing to be soldiers17. Now with TV people can _____.A) discus politics at an information centerB) show more interest in politicsC) make their own decisions on political affairsD) express their opinions freely18.

Which is NOT true according to the passage?A) People have become used to crimes now.B) With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.C) People now like to read books with picture.D) The adults are less violent than the young.20. From the passage, we can conclude that _____.A) children should keep away from TVB)TV programs should be improvedC) children’s books should have picturesD) TV has a deep influence on the youngPassage ThreeQuestions21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Storms Sink ShipsRescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh．The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21．Hundreds more are missing or feared dead．The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country.The government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season.One of the ferries, MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to．About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said The second ferry carried about 100 passengers．“The number of deaths is certain to rise,” said an official in charge of the rescue work. “No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived．”Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board.Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats．Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents．Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people．Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions.Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh．It is a country covered by about 230 rivers．Some 20,000 ferries use the nation’s waterways(水路)every year．And many of them are dangerously overcrowded(过度拥挤)．Since1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents．21.
