There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Famous dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed description of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational” which feature crime and gossip (閑談), to the “serious”, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions, American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television. Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist (極端主義的) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.As in other countries, American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals (丑聞) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair (水門(mén)事件). The Newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.21. There are fewer national newspapers in _.A. Britain than in the USA. B. France than in BritainC. the USA than in Britain or France D. France than in the USA or Britain22. Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because _.A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime and gossipD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way23. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political preference by _.A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints24. The passage is mainly about _.A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers25. Which of the following adjectives is similar to the word “middle of-the-road”?A. neutral B. anxiousC. merry D. aggressivePassage TwoA scientist once said: “I have concluded that the earth is being visited by intelligently controlled vehicles from outer space.”If we take this as a reasonable explanation for UFOs (unidentified flying objects), questions immediately come up. “Why dont they get in touch with us, then? Why dont they land right on the White House lawn and declare themselves?” people asked. In reply, scientists say that, while this may be what we want, it may not necessarily be what they want.“The most likely explanation, it seems to me,” said Dr. Mead, “is that they are simply watching what we are up to-that responsible society outside our solar system is keeping an eye on us to see that we dont set in motion a chain reaction that might have unexpected effects for outside our solar system.”O(jiān)pinions from other scientists might go like this: “Why should they want to get in touch with us? We may feel were more important than we really are! They may want to observe us only and not interfere with the development of our civilization. They may not care if we see them but they also may not care to say hello.”Some scientists have also suggested that Earth is a kind of zoo or wildlife reserve. Just as we set aside wilderness areas and wildlife reserves to allow animals and growing things to develop naturally while we observe them, perhaps Earth was set aside ages ago for the same purpose.Are we being observed by intelligent beings from other civilizations in the universe? Are they watching our progress in space travel? Do we live in a gigantic “zoo” observed by our “keepers”, but having no communication with them?Now we have to recognize that, among the stars in the heavens, there may very well be worlds inhabited by beings who arc to us as we arc to ants.26. People who ask the question “Why dont they get in touch with us. and declare themselves?” may have thought that _.A. there are no such things as UFOsB. UFOs are visitors from solar systemC. theres no reason for UFOs sooner or laterD. we are bound to see UFOs sooner or later27. According to Dr. Mead, the attitude of beings from outer space toward us is one of _.A. unfriendliness B. suspicionC. superiority D. hostility28. In line 21, the word “keepers” refers to _.A. persons who look after animals in a gigantic zooB. astronauts travelling in the manned space shipC. persons who are observing usD. intelligent beings observing us from outer space29. The writer thinks that _.A. in the heavens there may be other worlds inhabited by intelligent beingsB. human beings are as supreme as the intelligent beings in outer spaceC. maybe human beings are not so supreme as the beings from other civilizations in the universeD. the beings from other civilizations in the universe will come to meet us and say hello one day30. The tone of the writer is that of _.A. doubt B. warningC. indifference D. criticismIII標(biāo)音。用國(guó)際音標(biāo)標(biāo)出下列單詞中劃線字母或字母組合的讀音。(本大題共20小題，每小題0.5分，共10分)(注意：使用新式或老式音標(biāo)均可)31. crime 32.
