22、.Passage 1Some individuals and citizens1 groups have expressed concern about the level of violence intelevision programs,particularly in action-adventure series and cartoons.They argue that viewers,especially children,may learn to see violence as the only way to resolve conflicts.Early experimental

23、researchers compared the play of children who had seen aggressive behavioron television with the play of a control group of children who had watched nonviolent programs.Concern was intensified by findings that indicated a higher level of aggressive play in theviolent-television group.Other researche

24、rs attempted to determine whether violent programs simplystimulated higher energy levels in children or actually caused them to learn violent and antisocialbehavior.The results of different studies conflicted.Some researchers claimed that televised violenceactually had a positive cathartic（导 泄 的）eff

25、ect,allowing some viewers to release heighteningtensions;these findings,however,were not confirmed in further studies.Other scholars pointed outthat both prosocial and antisocial behavior can be learned from television.Social scientists find it especially difficult to assess accurately the subtle,cu

26、mulative（积 累 的）effects of viewing a broad variety of television programs throughout childhood.Distinguishing thepossible effects of television from other influences at home and at school is also difficult.Currentresearch suggests that moderately higher levels of antisocial behavior can be traced to

27、televisionviewing,but further study needs to be done to confirm it.Because of the long-standing tradition in the U.S.of freedom of speech and of the press,thegovernment would probably not attempt to directly limit or censor（审 查）the appearance of violenceon television.Among the networks and producers

28、,pressure from concerned citizens continues to bebalanced by increasing popularity of high-energy action-adventure programs.41.What is the passage mainly about?A.Violence in television programs.B.Levels of violence in action-adventure series and cartoons.C.Educational programs for children.D.Researc

29、hes on television programs.42.Those researchers who believe violence on TV has a positive effect on viewers think thatA.it teaches people not to use violence to resolve conflictsB.it stimulates higher energy levels in childrenC.it helps let out peoples undesirable emotionsD.it helps people to fight

30、various social evils before them43.A“prosocial“behavior is o n e.A.that is against the social normB.that meets the expectation of the societyC.that a child shows in communication with peopleD.that can often be shaped by TV programs44.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage

31、?A.Television viewing leads naturally to antisocial behavior.B.Violence on television does not help shape violent behavior in children.C.The effect of violent TV programs on children needs further study.D.Both prosocial and antisocial behaviors can be learned from violent programs.45.The last senten

32、ce of the passage i m p l i e s.A.the government will have to ban violence on TV under public pressureB.violence in television programs will continue to appear in the futureC.producers and concerned citizens can work together to clean up TV programsD.without violence,action-adventure programs would

33、be more popularPassage 2If you know exactly what you want,the best route to a job is to get specialized training.Arecent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who cango to work immediately with very little on-the job training.Thats especially true of b

34、ooming fields that are challenging for workers.At Comelfs School ofHotel Administration,for example,bachelors degree graduates get an average of four or five joboffers with salaries ranging from the high tens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapidadvancement.Large companies,especially,like a

35、 background of formal education coupled withwork experience.But in the long run,too much specialization doesnt pay off.Business,which has been floodedwith MBAs,no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval.The MBA may opendoors and command a higher salary initially,but the impact of

36、a degree washes out after five years.As further evidence of the erosion（销 蚀）of corporate（公 司 的）faith in specialized degrees,Michigan States Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices.Although companies tend totake on specialists as new hires,they often seek out generalists for middle-and

37、upper-levelmanagement.They want someone who isnt constrained（限 制）by nuts and bolts to look at the bigpicture,says Scheetz.This sounds suspiciously like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts graduate.Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts m

38、ajors are assumedto have:writing and communication skills,organizational skills,open-mindedness and adaptability,and the ability to analyze and solve problems.David Birch claims he does not hire anybody with anMBA or an engineering degree.4I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-tha

39、n-cannedway of doing things,“says Birch.Liberal-arts means an academically thorough and strict programthat includes literature,history,mathematics,economics,science,human behavior-plus a computercourse or two.With that under your belt,you can feel free to specialize.A liberal-arts degreecoupled with

40、 an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in themarketplace,says Scheetz.46.What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?A.Students with a bachelors degree in humanities.B.People with an MBA degree from top universities.C.People with formal schooling plus work

41、experience.D.People with special training in engineering47.By saying.but the impact of a degree washes out after five years”(Line 3,Para.3),the authorm e a n s.A.most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundationB.an MBA degree does not help promotion to managerial positionsC.MBA pro

42、grams will not be as popular in five years*time as they are nowD.in five years people will forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got48.According to Scheetzs statement(Lines 4-5,Para.4),companies p r e f e r.A.people who have a strategic mindB.people who are talented in fine artsC.people who

43、 are ambitious and aggressiveD.people who have received training in mechanics49.David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people b e c a u s e.A.they are more capable of handling changing situationsB.they can stick to established ways of solving problemsC.they are thoroughly trained in a va

44、riety of specialized fieldsD.they have attended special programs in management50.Which of the following statements does the author support?A.Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists.B.Formal schooling is less important than job training.C.On-the-job training is,in the long run,less co

45、stly.D.Generalists will outdo specialists in management.Passage 3Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate,and eachcourse which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree.In many Americanuniversities the total work for a degree consists of

46、 thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester.Atypical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university astudent will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.Normally a student wouldexpect to take four years attending two semesters each y

47、ear.It is possible to spread the period ofwork for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between oneuniversity and another during his degree course,though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade,wh

48、ich is recorded,and the record isavailable for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure andstrain of work,but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enth

49、usiasm.The effective work ofmaintaining discipline is usually performed by student organizations.Any student who is thought tohave broken the rules,for example,by cheating,has to appear before a student court.With theenormous numbers of students,the operation of the system does involve a certain amo

50、unt of activity.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefitto him later in his career.51.Normally a student would at least attend classes each week.A.36B.12C.20D.1552.According to the first paragraph,an American student is a l l o w e d.A.to
