考题 A survey has shown that people have stopped believing both the media and politicians. A similar survey carried out 5 years ago showed that 50% of people thought that what politicians said was usually not true, and that 35% of people thought that what they saw on the television or read in newspapers was not true. Now both those figures have increased sharply, to 80% of people not believing politicians and 70% not believing the television or newspapers. Experts think that these figures are not going to come down in the near future.Stories about politicians and journalists taking money from businessmen have caused the public to stop trusting them. Also politicians keep making promises that they do not keep. Mr Smith of York said, ‘When the politicians make new laws, they only help their friends, not people like me’. Mrs Marley of Leeds said, ‘The newspapers and television are not interested in what is true; they are only interested in money for advertising’.It has got worse recently as more people can get news from the Internet and learn if the journalists and politicians are telling the truth or not. What can our politicians and journalists do? The only answer is to be more honest.1.The number of people believing politicians and journalists has __________.A.increasedB.not changedC.decreased2.Experts think this problem ____________.A.will get better soonB.will not get better soonC.will get worse soon3.Stories say businessmen give money to _______.A.politiciansB.politicians and journalistsC.journalists4.Mr Smith thinks politicians make laws __________.A.to help their friendsB.to help himC.to help everybody5.People can now check stories using _________.A.the newspapersB.the televisionC.the Internet

考题 Most Americans find the idea of arranged marriages difficult to understand or accept.They believe that two people should marry for love, after a period of dating or courtship.During that period, the prospective marriage partners are supposed to learn enough about each other to decide whether or not they will be able to build a successful marriage.Today in America, it is common for people to live together as a way of preparing for marriage.The idea of an arranged marriage seems very old-fashioned indeed.But aren't all marriages arranged in one way or another?

考题共用题干 The Dangers of Secondhand SmokeMost people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health.Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases.In fact,many people who smoke get lung cancer. However,Edward Gilson has lung cancer,and he has never smoked cigarettes.He lives with his wife Evelyn,who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage.________(46)No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. Nevertheless,doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people's cigarettes.________(47)The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about 53,000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals.In the past, scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker's health._________(48)They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic chemicals in their bodies.As a matter of fact,almost all of us breathe tobacco smoke at times,whether we realize it or not. For example,we can not avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants,hotels and other public places.Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas,smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted.It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke._________(49)Research shows that chil- dren who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as are children of nonsmokers.The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke.People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke._________（50)__________（50）A:Recently,though,scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers.B:The Gilsons have been married for 35 years.C:This smoke is called secondhand smoke.D:However,secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people,old or young.E:As a result,they have passed laws which prohibit people from smoking in many public places.F: In the United States,nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker.
