However, television today is dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels suitable for young eyes. Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed from the list of TV channels for an entire family. The following are some good ones based on popularity on a global scale.Discovery ChannelDiscovery and its many channels can be considered as the founding father of informative channels on television. While National Geographic does in a scholastic(学术的) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining mannereducating the masses about anything and everything.Fox FamilyFinding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids alike is very difficult unless your service operator offers you Fox family movies. This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them, ensuring that no movie shows unacceptable material for young eyes.NickelodeonA channel very similar to Cartoon Network, it mostly shows US programs. However, their shows are sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to kids aged 5and up.ABC Family ABC started the ABC family channel in an attempt to introduce family-centered shows and serials to the public in the USA. The need for this channel was felt after ABC observed the lack of proper family type US channels.Living If travelling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no better channel than Living. Kids can see never-seen-before sights, learning about new places while adults can practice their cooking and learn amazing things about motorbikes.21. According to the text, most channels offered by a digital TV service _. A. can keep people away from TV violence B. are welcomed by families with small children C. are concerned about the proper use of language D. are unsuitable for the whole family to watch together22. Which of the following can best describe Discovery Channel?A. Commercial. B. Touching. C. Relaxing. D. Professional. 23. If people want to know about what a traditional family is like, they can choose _.A. ABC Family B. Nickelodeon C. Fox Family D. LivingBThe Australian postal service has apologized for delivering a letter half a century after it was sent from an island in the South Pacific.A couple from Adelaide found the faded postcard, from the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, resting on their doorstep under a gas bill. It bore a postmark of 1966 and was addressed to one “Robert Giorgio”, according to the Adelaide Advertiser. The postcard, which was written by someone named “Chris, reads: “I am enjoying myself greatly. The weather is very humid. Ill try and drop you a note in England.” Its stamp cost 13 francs, or around nine pence, and is understood to have been sent to the original owner of the house, whose whereabout is unknown.“It took a while to realize it was an old one,” said Tim Duffy, who bought the house 18 months ago with his wife, Claire, and believes it was built by an Italian man in 1963. “Then I checked the post date and its 1966.” He suspects the card may have been sent by someone who was travelling by boat. “Its fresh enough although it is a bit faded and its got some damage to the top left, which looks like a bit of water damage,” he said. Mr. Duffy handed the letter back to Australia Post, who acknowledged that something had “gone wrong” and issued an apology. “It is clear that something went wrong 50 years ago after the postcard was posted in French Polynesia, and we apologizes for the inconvenience,” a spokesman said. It is not the first time that a letter has taken vastly longer than expected to arrive at its destination.A love letter sent by a British soldier during World War Two was apparently stuck in transit for more than 64 years before it reached RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.24. Who wrote the postcard? A. Chris B. Claire C. Tim Duffy D. Robert Giorgio25. What does the postcard look like? A. Nice and perfect B. Old and damaged C. Old put beautiful D. Fresh but damaged26. The underlined word “whereabout” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_” A. family B. location C. habit D. name27. What can be inferred from the text? A. The post card was sent out in 1963 B. Tim Duffy accepted the apology from the Australia Post C. This is the first letter that has gone wrong during delivering D. The person who wrote the post card would travel to EnglandCIt has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasnt fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (刮痧), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US whos accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandsons disease.During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize last year, TCM became even more famous internationally.However, all these achievements in TCM dont mean that its problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization.28. The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to _ .A. introduce the film to readersB. show TCM is increasingly popularC. arouse readers interest in Western medicineD. prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries29. We can learn from the passage that _ .A. TCM is not exact in curing diseasesB. 10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by localsC. 86 countries have cooperated with China on TCMD. Tu Youyous success contributes to the popularity of TCM30. According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should_ .A. face no challenge at allB. combine western medicineC. complete with western medicineD. give an exact description of its effects31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A report on TCM B. Opinions about TCM C. Traditional healing spreadsD. TCM & Western MedicineDBeing less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)and the people with whom he or she comes in contact. Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your companys attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance. This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days. Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the manand the woman. Unless you are sure what to wear, it pays to dress slightly traditionally than the situation demands.32. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to dress properly in a business setting.B. The differences between professional and casual dress.C. Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable.D. A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant.33. Which of the following statements is true?A. Every company has strict rules regarding office dress.B. You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules.C. You can wear whatever you like if your company doesnt have standards for dressing.D. In companies with relaxed rules on office dress, you cant spot a manager among others.34. Which statement best describes “dress-down days”?A. On dress-down days, you can wear whatever you like.B. We cant judge a persons taste by his clothes on dress-down days.C. Peoples clothes on dress-down days dont receive much attention.D. People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress-down days than on other occasions.35. Which of the following is NOT the rule in the passage with regard to business dress?A. For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.B. Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner.C. Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.D. Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for a certain occasion.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time. This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school.    36      When a teen falls asleep in class, two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect for the teacher.
