Many critics worry about violence on television, most out of fear that it stimulates viewers to violent or aggressive acts. Our research, however, indicates that the consequences of experiencing TV’s symbolic world of violence may be much more far-reaching.
We have found that people who watch a lot of TV see the real world as more dangerous and frightening than those who watch very little. Heavy viewers are less trustful of their fellow citizens, and more fearful of the real world. Since most TV “action-adventure” dramas occur in urban settings, the fear they inspire may contribute to the current flee of the middle class from our cities. The fear may also bring increasing demands for police protection, and election of law-and-order politicians.
While none of us is completely dependent upon television for our view of the world, neither have many of us had the opportunity to observe the reality of police stations, courtrooms, corporate board rooms, or hospital operating rooms. Although critics complain about the fixed characters and plots of TV dramas, many viewers look on them as representative of the real world. Anyone who questions that statement should read the 250,000 letters, most containing requests for medical advice, sent by viewers to “Marcus Welby, M.D.” —a popular TV drama series about a doctor— during the first five years of his practice on TV.
Violence on television leads viewers to regard the real world as more dangerous than it really is, which must also influence the way people behave. When asked, “Can most people be trusted?” the heavy viewers were 35 percent more likely to choose “Can’t be too careful.”
Victims, like criminals, must learn their proper roles, and televised violence may perform the teaching function all too well. Instead of worrying only about whether television violence causes individual displays of aggression in the real world, we should also be concerned about social reality. Passive acceptance of violence may result from far greater social concern than occasional displays of individual aggression.
We have found that violence on prime-time（黄金时段）network TV cultivates overstated threat of danger in the real world. The overstated sense of risk and insecurity may lead to increasing demands for protection, and to increasing pressure for the use of force by established authority. Instead of threatening the social order, television may have become our chief instrument of social control.
【1】Which of the following is NOT among the consequences of watching TV too much?
A. Distrusting people around.
B. Moving into rural areas.
C. Asking the police for protection.
D. supporting more politicians.
【2】According to the passage, why did “Marcus Welby, M.D.” receive so many letters?
A. Because viewers believed the doctor did exist in the real life.
B. Because certain TV programmes recommended him to viewers.
C. Because he was an experienced doctor and saved many lives.
D. Because the TV appealed to people to pay attention to health.
【3】According to the author, _________ is mainly to blame for people’s fear of the realworld.
A. network TV
B. social reality
C. individual display of violence
D. televised violence
【4】We can infer from the passage that __________.
A. people tend to be aggressive or violent after watching TV too much
B. people learn to protect themselves from dangers after watching TV violence.
C. the occasional displays of individual aggression may threaten the social order
D. watching TV may cause the misuse of authority and disturb the social order
22、What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the softbackground music?
But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop's scent(香味) may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is proving to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive (独特的)scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, by scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.
But while e-shops can only use sights and sounds, bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut（椰子)scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.
【1】According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand stores?
A．Friendly assistants.
B．Unique scents.
C．Soft background music
D．Attractive window display.
【2】E-shops are mentioned in the passage to_________.
A．show the advantages of bricks-and-mortar stores
B．urge shop assistants to change their attitude
C．push stores to use sights and sounds
D．introduce the rise of e-commerce
【3】The underlined word "destination" in Paragraph 4 means
A．a platform that exhibits goods
B．a spot where travelers like to stay
C．a place where customers love to go
D．a target that a store expects to meet
【4】The main purpose of the passage is to
A．compare and evaluate
B．examine and assess
C．argue and discuss
D．inform and explain
23、More than two thirds of students are experiencing poor sleep quality and this is linked to mental health problems, new research suggests. The findings, based on more than 1,000 men and women attending university full-time, also show those with depressive (抑郁的) symptoms were almost four times as likely to suffer from inadequate sleep.
Excessive (过度的) daytime sleepiness (EDS) was a problem among over half the students—they were almost twice as likely to have depression or experience high stress levels.
The authors warn stressors, such as course demands, make college students have sleep disorders which in turn affect academic performance and health. They’re calling on universities to do more to promote positive sleep habits and good mental health.
Living away from home for the first time, using stimulants (刺激物) that damage sleep and keeping irregular bedtimes are all factors that make students suffer from a lock of quality rest at night. An average of seven hours’ sleep has been reported by those attending college while nine hours is considered the ideal for young adults.
Poor sleep and EDS in those attending university have already been identified by studies, but few have probed any link with stress or depression. This new research is the first of its kind. Participants were asked about their sleep quality, EDS, socioeconomic status, and their body mass index (BMI) was also assessed.
The data was used to evaluate the level of association between sleep quality and stress levels. Results showed a significant link between these factors, and depressive problems and high stress levels. The study also found that students studying biological and health sciences were more likely to suffer from poor quality of sleep than those studying social and human sciences. The mechanism (机制) behind sleep disturbance and depression is not unclear, as is whether mental health problems cause poor quality sleep or vice versa.
【1】Why is it necessary for universities to promote positive sleep habits?
A．Because college students are under heavy course pressure.
B．Because college students are more likely to have depression
C．Because sleep disorders affect college students academically.
D．Because sleep disorders are common among all college students
【2】The underlined word “probed” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “______”.
A．approved of
B．believed in
C．left out
D．looked into
【3】What does the last paragraph tell us?
A．Majors play a role in students’ sleep quality.
B．The mechanism disturbing sleep is still unknown.
C．Mental health problems result from poor sleep habits.
D．Students studying health sciences have better sleep habits.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Good Sleep Habits Are Vital to Students
B．Lack of Sleep Affects Students’ Mental Health
C．Mental Health Problems Affect Students’ Sleep Quality
D．Mental health Guarantees Students’ Academic Performance
24、A life lesson is just what it sounds like — a lesson we learn in life. It’s really based on the idea of learning from our mistakes. These lessons could be described as defining (决定性) moments that are remembered. 【1】 Thus they are unique to each person.
【2】 Since the lesson is learned through the consequences of our actions or reactions, in this way we can gain insight into how we think, act and react in certain situations.
Life lessons can occur in any area. Although we learn many things each day, we don’t always learn something that we feel will affect our behavior for the rest of our lives. 【3】 It is usually something that we feel profoundly changed by. For example, if we respond in a certain way to something and then face unpleasant consequences from our actions, this can make us rethink how we handled the situation. We would want to make different choices and decisions in the future to get the outcome we wanted instead of the one we didn’t. 【4】
An example of a life lesson in the area of work and career could be the revelation that making a modest living at something we are passionate about is better than working at an unpleasant or dull job for more money. 【5】 However, there are common themes in these relationships such as spending more time with loved ones. Some of us learn a major life lesson when a loved one dies and we wish we had spent more time with that person. This lesson can result in us spending more time with our remaining loved ones.
A．If so, follow your heart.
B．They are based on an individual’s life experiences.
C．Life lessons can help us understand ourselves better.
D．This separates a life lesson from everything else we learn.
E．Are you more motivated and inspired to pursue your dreams?
F．Such lessons in relationships are as varied and unique as each relationship.
G．To put it simply, a life lesson teaches us not to make the same mistake twice.
25、Anger isn’t a pleasant feeling. Some of us bottle up the emotion, while others ______ in a wild anger. Both habits have bad effects on our bodies, our minds, and our relationships.
Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. “A lot of people think they have to ______ their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a registered psychologist. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be ______.” When we take notice of that signal and actually ______ the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better for it. ______, many of us have been conditioned to keep our emotions hidden. Increasingly, research is suggesting that this can have ______ effects on our health. Investigators noticed that people who make greater efforts to ______ their emotions tend to have shorter life spans. They’re more likely to die earlier from cancer, ______. When we’re angry, stress hormones (激素) are released, which can ______ a wide range of diseases, including diabetes and depression, and abnormal immune conditions.
Is it better, then, to scream and cry whenever something makes you ______? That’s the fundamental behind the “rage rooms” that have appeared in many American cities, where folks are ______ to let off their anger by violently smashing stuff in a safe environment. “The ______ is that you get the anger out of your system through ______ actions,” says Keelan. “But the research indicates that when we display our anger sharply, it can actually increase the intensity of the anger and increase the ______ of aggressive actions in the future.” It doesn’t take much imagination to predict how they can ______ your relationships with your family members, or your coworkers.

26、阅读下面段文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I peered over my grandma’s shoulder as she sewed pieces of cloth together. The two pieces became one faster than I’d imagined. The colors, however, looked ugly when put together and none of the patterns matched. All the patches (补丁) on this blanket seemed to disagree.
“Grandma, that’s the ugliest quilt (棉被) I’ve ever seen.”
“Oh, sweetie, it’s warm and beautiful,” said Grandma, pointing to a pile of crazy patterned shirts and suits. “I can take these old clothes that Grandpa and I will never wear again and turn them into something useful and good. It’s not the quilts appearance but the love that sews it together that makes it beautiful. This quilt will keep you warm on a cold night like tonight. And I know that for a fact.” Grandma put her hand on my shoulder, “Not everyone is as lucky as we are. Here, put on your coat. We’ll get a second opinion about how ugly my quilts are.”
Grandma folded a finished quilt and tucked it into a shopping bag. Afterwards, we got in the car and drove downtown. The white snow turned grayer as we got to the city. Eventually, Grandma pulled up at a dark alley (胡同) and we got out of the car. The terrible smell of rotting garbage made me feel sick and pinch my nose shut. Grandma took my hand and led me to the street lamp. I could see the snow shimmering (发出微光) in the light.
Grandma paused. “There’s usually somebody down this alley. It’s quiet and out of the wind---a good place to stay on cold nights. A nice warm quilt might make it even better.”
The dark engulfed (吞没) Grandma and I as we stepped deep into the alley. The pavement was cracked and missing in spots. Chicken bones and stained boxes littered their way. And Grandma’s shoes made a loud sound with each step. Feeling frightened, I squeezed Grandma’s hand. Grandma squeezed my hand back. “It’s OK.” she smiled.
“Who’s there?” shouted a voice out of the darkness.
