3、 Questions are based on the following passage.
Because of satellite links which now enable broadcast news organizations to originate liveprogramming from any part of the globe, the entire world is becoming one giant sound stage fortelevision news. As a result, Shakespeare's famous line, "all the worh is a stage," has taken on aninteresting new twist in meaning.
Even before today's worldwide satellite links were possible, the growing effect of broadcast news
technology on national and international politics was becoming increasingly evident.
Because television is a close-up medium and a medium that seerns to most readily involve
emotions, it is most effective when it is revealing the plights of people; During the Vietnam War, readingabout war was one thing, but war took on a deeper and more unsavor' ( 令人讨厌的) dimension when it was exported directly into U. S. living rooms night after night by television. Public opinion eventuallyturned against the war and to some measure against President Johnson who was associated with it. As
a result of the public opinion backlash (消极反应) during these tines, the Pentagon was thereaftermuch more careful to control what foreign correspondents and TV crews would be allowed to see andreport.
It was during this time that President Carter brought the issue of human rights to the centre of hisforeign policy, and, to some degree, to the centre of international pol tics. "Human rights is the soul ofour foreign policy," Carter said. "Of all human rights the most basic s to be free of arbitrary violence,whether that violence comes from government, from terrorists, from criminals, or fi'om self-appointedmessiahs (救世主) operating under the cover of politics or religion. "
Although political viewpoints have changed since then, because of the emotional nature of humanrights, this has emerged as the "soul" of television news. The transgression (侵犯) of human rightshas been the focus of many, if not most, major international television news stories. The reporting ofthese stories has created outrage in the world, prompted attempts at censorship by dictators, and in many
cases resulted in the elimination of human rights abuses.
The passage mainly discusses____________.
A．the evolution of international politics in the United States
B．the broadcast media gives its primary concern on human rights
C．the global television communication has a huge impact on pet,pie's emotions
D．the broadcast media plays a growing role in international poli ics
4、Passage Two
Questions are based on the following passage.
Levittown was the name given to three suburban developments constructed in the post World War II decades by Levitt and Sons, the most important private builder of this period. Using new mass production techniques they had learned while building housing for military personnel during the Second World War, they turned home building from a cottage industry into a major manufacturing process.
During World War II, they received government contracts to build homes for war workers. Under deadline pressure, they developed mass production methods to build houses quickly. These techniques were carried over to their postwar suburban developments. On May 7, 1947, William Levitt announced his plans to build 2,000 houses in a former potato field in the state of New York. Then, by the time this Levittown was completed in 1951, it had contained 17,450 homes for 75,000 people in New York. Levitt eventually built two more Levittowns, in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Each contained the same curving streets, community pools, and neighborhood parks, play grounds as the first development did.
Some observers criticized the monotonous uniformity of the Levittowns, charging that they are just the symbol of materialism, but Levittowns were overwhelmingly welcomed by the public. They were cheap, comfortable, efficient, and ideal for young people just starting out in life. Thousands of middle class people, especially some young couples, crowded in city apartments, or still living with their parents, rushed to purchase them. Fourteen hundred contracts were signed in one day in 1949.
Levittown symbolized the most significant social trend of the postwar era in the United States----the flight to the suburbs. The resulting massive shift in population from the central city to the suburbs was accompanied by a baby “boom” that started after soldiers returned home from World War II and got married. By 1960, one-third of the nation’s population lived in the suburbs. The nation underwent its greatest increase in population since 1910.
What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．Levittown was built by William Levitt with the mass-production method.
B．Levittown served as an ideal and leading example of social changes in the U. S. after World War II.
C．Increases in the population of the United States after the war.
D．Why there was a housing shortage after World War II

简答题
7、端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣（minister）,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。 但后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而终投河自 尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子， 希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。几 千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子 （glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是 在一些河湖密布的南方省份。
8、上海菜系(cuisqne)是中国年轻的地方菜系，有着400多年的历史。同其他中国菜系一样，本菜系具有“色、香(aroma)、味”三大要素。上海菜的特点是注重调料(seasoning)的使用、食材的质地和菜的原汁原味。其中著名的有特色点心“南翔小笼”(Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumplings)和特色菜“松鼠鲑鱼”(Squirrel—Shaped Mandarin Fish)。“南翔小笼”是猪肉馅，皮薄个小、汁醇味美。“松鼠鲑鱼”色泽黄亮，形如松鼠，外皮脆而里肉嫩，汤汁酸甜适口。
9、许多人喜欢中餐。在中国，烹饪不仅被视为一种技能，而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看。烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点，总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养(nutrition)。由于食物对健康至关重要，好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡，所以中餐既味美又健康。
