There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of entertainment, whether it is a television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of the visual media cannot be ignored.
One obvious effect of these media is that watching them persuade people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV or movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted (歪曲) one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational programs can learn many new things while those who watch entertainments shows may come to believe that most people in the world have great wealth and good looks. It may make them dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally perhaps the most easily influenced viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to copy acts that they see on TV or in the movies.
With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of experiences.
49．From the passage we know that watching television and movies can ______.
A．make people live better                        B．make people feel pleased
C．make people change their way of life    D．make people live worse
50．The writer hold the view that ______.
A．people may take no notice of the effects of the visual media
B．people must pay attention to the effects of the video media
C．the effects of the visual media make the world changed greatly
D．the visual media only affect young people
51．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Those who watch news and educational program can earn a lot of money.
B．Most people possess great wealth and good looks.
C．People buy products when they are persuaded by TV advertising.
D．Never believe advertisements on TV or in movie theater.
52．What should be the best title for this text?

B
For a 400-year-old art form, operas had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which are hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $ 145 a performance, opera goers also have a certain appearance in people’s mind: rich, well-dressed and old.
But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to bring the opera to the audience. It needs to keep it alive, the young and not-so-rich.
Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. That means no formal suits, old-styled theatre or band-breaking ticket prices. And because young people don’t or won’t come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.
The Houston Grand Opera’s choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions (剧本) of child-friendly operas. This summer’s production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists’ Training Program.
45．Which is the main idea of this passage?
A．Opera is famous for its long history.
B．Opera is only performed for rich people.
C．Young people are not interested in opera.
D．Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive.
46．The underlined phrase “loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes” (paragraph 2) means ______.
A．breaking up the old rules                      B．changing the formal suits
C．making the audience at ease                  D．advertising themselves
47．The San Francisco Opera Company employs student actors in order to ______.
A．celebrate its 75th anniversary                B．reduce the cost
C．attract young people                             D．make Cinderella popular
48．From the passage we can infer that ______.
A．the tickets for operas are very expensive
B．operas are performed in a difficult language
C．operas are not so popular an art form today
D．students enjoy performing operas very much

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Nate suffered a hard blow when he lost his job. His boss had spoken rudely, “Your services are no longer needed.” Nate left the building filled with despair. By the time he reached home, he was in a deep depression. When he entered his house, he blurted out to his wife Sophia, “I lost my job. I am a complete, utter failure.” A tense silence followed. Then a smile crept across Sophia’s face. “What great news!” she responded.
“Now you can write the book you have always wanted to write.”
“But I have no job and no prospect of a job,” YC he objected, completely without hope. “If I struggle to be an author, then what will we live on? Where will the money come from?” Sophia took her husband by the hand and led him to the kitchen. Opening a drawer, she took out a box that was full of cash. “Where on earth did you get this?” Nate gasped. “To whom does it belong?”
“It’s ours!” Sophia replied. “I always knew that one day you would become a great writer if only you were given the chance. From the money you gave me for housekeeping every week, I have saved as much as I could so you would have your chance. Now there is enough to last us a whole year.”
What a surprise! What encouragement! What a wife! The unemployed husband did concentrate on writing that year, and the novel he wrote became a literary masterpiece. The book is The Scarlet Letter. Sophia had an even greater achievement, and she turned Nathaniel Hawthorne from a poor clerk into a world famous master.

C．friendly and warm-hearted                    D．honest and determined

A．Sophia’s Achievement.                        B．A great writer’s struggle to success.

C
Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands．”Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse．”He is said to be “undersized,” with “short legs” and a “round stomach”．The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said．We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman．Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point．
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character．And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man．In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇),who has come with peace terms．Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms．He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped．“That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts．And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly．”
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner．“He raised his hand to the Russian’s．．．face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently．．．” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court．“Well, well, why don’t you say anything?” said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon．
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own．
64．Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is ___________．
A．far from the historical facts                         B．based on the Russian history
C．based on his selection of facts               D．not related to historical details
65．Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because ________．
A．he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B．the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to accept
C．the Russians stopped his military movement
D．he didn’t have any more army to fight with
66．Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is __________________．
A．ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests
B．fond of showing off his iron will
C．determined in destroying all of Europe
D．crazy for power and respect
67．What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A．A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings．
B．A writer may write about a hero in his own way．
C．A writer may not be responsible for what he writes．
D．A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings．
