[听力原文] 16-20 Television, which made its first serious appearance in 1939, did not become common until the early 1950s. Since then. millions of children have grown up in front of the set, and many people now worry about the effect that TV has on the young, and on society in general. Many ordinary parents wish it had never been invented. Like almost anything else, television has its good and its bad sides. One should surely thank its inventors for the joy and the interest that they have brought into the lives of the old, the sick. and the lonely --all those who, without it, would have no pleasure and no window in the world. In truth, television has opened windows in everybody's life. No newspaper has ever reached so many people and shown so clearly what is happening right now in their own country and everywhere else. TV has transformed information. It not only gives the news instantly, but also shows it in pictures--more powerful than words. It can be said that TV has brought reality to the public. 16. At what time did television become common?
听抄出第一句“Television, ..., didn't become common until the early 1950s.”即可,其中“did not...until”结构要注意。由于材料读两遍,所以此题并不难做。

has bad sides
[听力原文] Apart from the good, what does the television have?
听抄出句子“Like almost anything else, television has its good and ...its bad sides.”。请注意:答题时由于前面提到了“Apart from the good”,所以只写下“has bad sides”即可。

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions:This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Fifty years from now the world' s population will be declining, with no end in sight. Unless people's values change greatly, several centuries from now there could be fewer people living in the entire world than live in the United States today. The big surprise of the past twenty years is that in not one country did fertility (生育力)stop falling when it reached the replacement rate (出生率)—2.1 children per woman. In Italy, for example, the rate has fallen to 1.2. In Western Europe as a whole and in Japan it is down to 1.5. The evidence now indicates that within fifty years or so world population will peak at about eight billion before starting a fairly rapid decline. Because in the past two centuries world population has increased from one billion to nearly six billion, many people still fear that it will keep "exploding" until there are too many people for the earth to support. But that is like earing that your baby will grow to 1,000 pounds because its weight doubles three times in its first seven years. World population was growing by two percent a year in the 1960s; the rate is now down to one percent a year, and if the patterns of the past century don' t change radically, it will head into negative numbers. This view is coming to be widely accepted among population experts, even as the public continues to focus on the threat of uncontrolled population growth. As long ago as September of 1947 Scientific American published a special issue on population that described what demographers (人口统计学家)had begun calling the "demographic transition" from traditional high rates of birth and death to the low ones of modem society. The experts believed that birth and death rates would be more or less equal in the future, as they had been in the past, keeping total population stable after a level of 10-20 billion people was reached during the transition.
Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. In 1813 rumors of a threatened invasion of Washington had circulated widely. But no attack materialized, so military preparedness ceased. By 1814 the defensive system for Washington was nonexistent except for a few troops near the city and a weak naval force. Month after month Congress had voted down resolutions to place the capital in a defensive posture, while the secretary of war kept concentrated on his invasion of Canada. The best plan for defense came from the cabinet in July, when it proposed to defend Washington with an army of volunteers from all the states. The result was inadequate at best. Some of the men that reported for duty were told to go home and get better shoes and to bring back a butcher knife if they could not get a musket. On August i8, news reached the capital that a British fleet had sailed into the Patuxent River. The city was put on immediate alert. As the British army marched closer to the capital, 38 - year -- old Brigadier General William Henry Winder was entrusted with defense of the city. His frustrations were many. Secretary of War John Armstrong, new to his office, still believed that the British force would not attack Washington; the quartermaster of the army was unable to supply axes for cutting trees to impede(阻止) the enemy advance; and Winder's own troops were untrained, volunteer militiamen. In addition, he got little consistent help from his superiors, who included President James Madison and Secretary of States James Monroe. He was an indefensible position, which led to one of America's darkest days -that of August 24th, 1814.
1. In 1813 military preparedness' stopped because ______.
A.the rumors of a threatened invasion turned out to be wrong
B.no British army carried out any attack on the city
C.the invasion of Washington was just a threat by the British
D.the British army should no sign preparing for a war
A B C D
B
[分析] 细节判断题。第一段第二句:But no attack materialized,so military preparedness ceased,句中materialized的词意很关键,考生未学,但同源的名词的意思已知、据此,在上下文中我们可猜测materialize意为:“成为事实、发生”。读懂了这句话,即可得到答案B)。
2. The most important reason for the weak Washington defense is that ______.
A.only volunteers from the states defended the city
B.only a few troops and a weak naval force were gathered for the city
C.some of the volunteers were not well armed
D.the big people didn't pay much attention to the defense

Part Ⅳ Translation
1. Having discussed the three characteristics of this play, we will read it again because these characteristics are reflected in the five acts into which it is divided.
[解析] 本题的关键在于理解the five acts into which it is divided。is指代的是前面的this play“这个剧本”,into which引导的定语从句修饰的是前面the five acts“五幕”,指这个剧本共分五幕,即“五幕剧”。注意一词多义,不要将act和reflect译成“行动”、“反射”。
2. We'd like to cancel the order for the goods because of the change in the home market.
A.我们喜欢购买东西,只是为了满足家庭的需要。
B.我们想要撤销商品的订单,是因为家庭市场起了变换。
C.因为超市价格发生了变化,我们想要退货。
D.由于国内市场的变换,我们想取消该批货物的订单。
A B C D
D
Home market的意思应为“国内市场”,而非“家庭市场”或“超市”。Cancel the order for the goods应指“取消货物订单”,而非“退货”。
3. It's reasonable to provide for the repayment of the credit in hard currency as well.if the traditional export goods are not available.
A.在不能用传统出口商品偿还的情况下,用硬通币偿还贷款,这是合情理的。
