Passage 1

Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?

Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings—battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed—took months and even years to travel from one country to anther. The news was passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far-away countries on the same day they happen.

Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.

The Financial News Network on cable television plans a half-hour weekly program early next year that will focus on employment opportunities, mostly for middle or upper-middle executives in areas like sales, engineering and computers.

But much of the program, “Careerline”, will provide general information that the creators hope will attract a wider audience—like how to act in a job interview or negotiate a salary.

“It’s a unique program basically helpful to your job hunting at home,” said a spokesman for FNN, ED Berenhaus. Experimentally scheduled for broadcast on Thursdays at 6 p.m., beginning Feb. 2, with repeats on Mondays at 8 a.m., the program is a joint venture (合资企业) of FNN; the Lendman Group, a company specializing in personnel recruitment (招募), and CAV Communications, which creates shows for cable.

Companies will pay a fee of $14,000 to offer positions on the program. In addition, regular commercials are expected from advertisers like providers of office equipment and hotels for business travelers.

Five-minute versions of “Careerline” were broadcast in September and October, for companies including the Prudential Insurance Company of America, the Ford Motor Company and G. E. Information Services.

FNN is available in 32 million homes with cable and reaches 10,000 to 20,000 households, depending on the time of the day. The network which also broadcasts an overnight shopping service and a sports service, is expanding the hours of its financial programs. They are expected to run from 6 a. m. to midnight starting next Monday.

“Careerline” will include news on trends in careers and office technology.

Will all these be interesting to enough viewers? “The opportunity for boredom (厌倦) is intense,” admitted Jay Campbell, co-owner of CAV. But they said CAV was experienced in “providing as much general appeal as possible”. One method will be unusual advice, he said, like “how to work for an insignificant person”.

6. The name of the half-hour weekly program is _____.

A. Financial News B.PNN C. Careerline D.CAV 7. The program will be _____.

Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we can’t ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline (汽油), which is a non-renewable (无法更新的) resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling (合用汽车), instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can’t be so effective if it’s taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to a great ex-tent.

11. According to the writer, the main problem to our environment today is _____.

A. the increase of population

B. the limited energy resources D. the development of technology

C. the more serious air pollution

12. From the passage, we can know that _____.

A. effective measures can be taken mainly by the government B. taking measures now can soon improve the environment

C. immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problems D. every single person’s action has some effect on environment protection 13. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to _____.

A. complain about people’s slow actions to protect the environment B. advise people to take actions to protect the environment

4

C. show himself to be an active environment protector

D. point out the bad effects of technologies on protecting environment 14. The author believes that carpooling _____.

A. can give help to those without cars B. can save people money and time

C. can save energy resources and reduce air pollution D. can promote friendship among drivers 15. The passage is mainly about ____.

A. energy resources saving

B. environment protection

C. population control D. air pollution Passage 4

First aid (急救) is the care given to the injured or sick as soon as possible after an accident or illness. It is this immediate care and attention before the arrival of the ambulance (急救车) that sometimes means the difference between life and death, or a full or partial recovery.

First aid has limitations, as not everybody is a doctor or expert, but it is a key element of the total medical system. The principle to be adopted in first aid is immediate action. By-standers (旁观者) or relatives not knowing what to do, or being too fearful to try, have unwisely contributed to unnecessary deaths and worse injuries.

It is important that any action taken by the first aid provider is started as quickly as possible. Quick action is necessary to save life and parts of the body. One who is not breathing effectively, or is bleeding (流血) heavily, requires immediate help. If quick effective first aid is provided, then they have a much better chance of a good recovery.

But it should be remembered that any action taken is to be most careful, and fright (恐慌) by the first aid provider and by-standers will not be good to the whole thing. Try to remain calm and think your actions through. A calm and controlled first aider will give everyone confidence that the event is being handled efficiently and effectively. 16. The writer seems to suggest that if you don’t know much about first aid, you should _____. A. call for help from professionals B. still try to help

C. stand by and not try to help D. learn it from a doctor

17. According to the passage, some injured or sick people died as a result of _____.

A. other people’s hesitation to offer first aid B. unprofessional first aid C. unnecessary first aid

D. unwise suggestions by by-standers

18. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. One should not apply first aid to the injured without knowing the cause of the accident. B. It is easy to carry out first aid if one has the necessary facilities. C. First aid is an important part of the whole treatment.

D. First aid may not be effective before a doctor or expert comes.
