Passage 1
Today television is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the home. Some people in places where television reception is good may think that television has taken the place of radio. Television, however, is actually a kind of radio. It uses special equipment for sending and receiving the picture. The television sound system uses the same type of equipment that is used in other forms of radio.
Exchanging messages with ships at sea was one of the first uses of radio. Modern radio is still used for this purpose and for communication across oceans. On land too radio provides a means of instant communication even with moving vehicles such as taxicabs or service trucks.
Police forces use two-way radio to get information to and from officers in squad cars and on motorcycles. Small portable sets make it possible to communicate with a central exchange while walking or riding in a city or over a countryside. Observers in airplanes can report traffic accidents and traffic jams by radio to police officers on the ground.
Radiotelephones are used in many places. Connection with the regular telephone service can be provided for boats, trains, and cars. Isolated places in deserts, forests, and mountainous regions are linked by radiotelephone in many parts of the world. Thus by means of radio people can communicate with others wherever service is provided.
56. According to the passage, television ______.
A. has taken the place of radio B. is no longer popular in the home
C. can be regarded as a kind of radio D. has nothing in common with radio
57. In Paragraph Two, “this purpose” refers to ______.
A. exchanging messages with ships at sea
B. communication across oceans
C. sending and receiving the picture
D. instant communication with moving vehicles
58. Modern radio is used in many ways. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. At sea. B. On land.
C. In the air. D. Underground.
59. The word “isolated” in the last paragraph means ______.
A. sandy and mountainous
B. clean and not polluted
C. without any living things
D. separated or distant
60. The best title for the passage is ______.
A. Television and Radio
B. Radio and Its Use
C. Radio and Radiotelephones
D. Modern Communication
Passage 2
The use of the motor car is becoming more and more widespread in the twentieth century; as an increasing number of countries develop both technically and economically, a larger proportion of the world’ s population is able to buy and use a car. Possessing a car gives a much greater degree of mobility, enabling the driver to move around freely. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport and is, therefore, not compelled to work locally. He can choose from different jobs and probably change his work more frequently as he is not restricted to a choice within a small radius. Traveling to work by car is also more comfortable than having to use public transport; the driver can adjust the heating in winter and the air conditioning in summer to suit his own needs and preference. There is no irritation caused by waiting for trains, buses or underground trains, standing in long patient queues, or sitting on windy platforms, for as long as half an hour sometimes. With the building of good, fast motorways long distances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly. For the first time in this century also, many people are now able to enjoy their leisure time to the full by making trips to the country or seaside at the weekends, instead of being confined to their immediate neighborhood. This feeling of independence, and the freedom to go where you please, is perhaps the greatest advantage of the car.
When considering the drawbacks, perhaps pollution is of prime importance. As more and more cars are produced and used, the emission from their exhaustpipes contains an ever larger volume of poisonous gas. Some of the contents of this gas, such as lead, not only pollute the atmosphere but cause actual harm to the health of people. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to deal with the problem of traffic in towns; most of the important cities of the world suffer from traffic congestion. In fact, any advantage gained in comfort is often cancelled out in city driving by the frustration caused by traffic jams. The mounting cost of petrol and the increased license fees and road tax all add to the driver’s worries. In fact, he must sometimes wonder if the motor car is such a blessing (幸事) and not just a menace (令人讨厌的事).
61. More and more people can afford to buy and use cars because ______.
A. an increasing number of cars are being produced
B. the cost of cars is getting cheaper with the development of the technology
C. lots of countries have become more developed
D. the use of cars has proved to be more economical
62. The word “radius” in the first paragraph means ______.
A. country B. circular area
C. routine D. period of time
63. The author believes that the motor car is ______.
A. rather a menace than a blessing
B. rather a blessing than a menace
C. a blessings as well as a menace
D. a blessing
64. The advantages of having a car are best experienced in the driver’s ______.
A. freedom in choosing his job
B. comfort during the travels
C. enjoyment of his leisure time
D. feeling of independence
65. What is considered by the writer as the greatest menace to the people caused by the widespread use of motor cars?
A. Air pollution. B. Traffic jams.
C. Fatal diseases. D. High cost.
