阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
WASHINGTON—There are more than 222million TVs in American homes . And it would make Frank Vespe very happy this week if every last one was turned off .
Vespe is the head of the TV—Turnoff Net —work , the Washington organization behind TV Turnoff Week .
For TV Turnoff week , American children are encouraged to go one week without watching TV. This year , it runs from April 23~29 .
“Our real message here is to see what life is like without TV and then make watching TV a conscious （自觉的）decision ,” said Vespe .
Vespe said that most of the children who go without television for a week go back to watching , but not as much . “They watch more selectively . They do more things as a family . It helps them put TV in its place .”
One girl who is turning off her TV is Sarah Foote ,9, of Virginia .
Sarch admits that it won’t be too hard to give up TV . She’s allowed to watch only educational television , and her favorite show from last year isn’t on any more .
Of course , there are plenty of things about TV: programs can be entertaining , even educational .
Even so , some experts aren’t sure TV Turnoff Week is the answer .
Susan Neuman , a university educator who studies children and reading , says the real problem is that parents do not keep track of what their children are watching .They don’t set limits on TV watching . Also , in some families , TV might be the only thing there is to do .
What message does Sarah have for other children ?
“It’s a very good idea . I spent a whole week without TV . It also teaches you to enjoy time doing different things and not being sucked into something on TV , because you don’t want TV taking up all of your time ,” Sarah said .
46. From the passage we know that .
A. American TV companies will be turned off
B. Vespe is very happy as very TV set was turned off
C. Vespe has persuaded most people to turn off their TV sets
D. Vespe is an active person in the TV—Turnoff organization
47. As Vespe said in this passage ,turning off TV a week can help children .
A. forget to watch TV programmes B. improve their habits of watching TV
C. place TV sets out of their bedrooms D. see what life is like without watching TV
48. In some experts’ opinion , .
A. parents should turn off TV for their children
B. parents should direct their children how to use TV
C. children should enjoy exciting programmes on TV
D. children should learn their lessons on TV
49. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage ?
A. To advise us to turn off TV sets . B. To warn parents of the danger of TV .
C. To report to us a piece of news about TV. D. To praise Vespe and his organization .
B
Unless we spend money to prevent asteroids 小行星）now , one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it , some scientists say .
Asteroids are bigger ones of the meteoroids 流星）that run across the night sky . Most orbit the sun far from the earth and don’t threaten us . But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision（碰撞）course with Earth .
Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now . Then spend $ 10million a year for the next 25 years to find the position of most of the space rocks . By the time we pick out a key one , the scientists say , we’ll have a way to change its course .
Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons . But the cost wouldn’t be cheap .
Is it worth it ? Two things experts consider when judging any danger are :How likely the event is ; How bad the results will be if the event happens . Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of lives might strike Earth once every 500,000 years . Sounds pretty rare —but if one did fall , it would be the end of the world . “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids , they’ll take care of us ,” says one scientist , “It’s that simple .”
The cure , though , might be worse than the disease . Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth ? “The world has less to fear from the rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them ,”said a New York Times article .
50. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids ?
A. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature .
B. They are heavenly bodies different in nature .
C. There are more asteroids than meteoroids .
D. Asteroids are more secret than meteoroids .
51. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth ?
A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists .
B. Such a collision might happen once every 25 years .
C. It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might happen .
D. Collisions of asteroids with Earth happen more often than expected .
52. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to change the course of
asteroids ?
A. It sounds practical but may not solve the problem .
B. It may create more problems than it might solve .
C. It is a waste of money because a collision with Earth is very unlikely .
D. Further research should be done before it proves workable .
53. We can conclude from the passage that .
A. while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.
B. asteroids running across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future
C. the worry about asteroids can be left to further generations since it’s unlikely to happen in
our time .
D. workable ways still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth
C
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful ? This might be called laziness , but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation . He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle .
During the hours when you labour through your work , you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true . The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak . For some people that peak comes during the forenoon . For others it comes in the afternoon or evening . No one has discovered why this is so , but it leads to such familiar monologues （自言自语）as “Get up , John ! You’ll be late for work again !” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature—and —energy peak in the evening . Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean , and which cycle each member of the family has .
You can’t change your energy cycle , but you can make your life fit it better . Habit can help . Dr . Kleitman believes . Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway . Counteract （打乱）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to . If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day , rise before your usual hour . This won’t change your cycle , but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point .
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy . Get up with a yawn （呵欠）and stretch . Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor . Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before . Whenever possible , do routine （常规的）work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours .
54. Which of the following causes family quarrels ?
A. Not knowing each other’s energy cycle .
B. Familiar monologues .
C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle .
D. Attempts to control the energy of other family members
55. If you want to work better at your low point in the morning ,you should .
A. change your energy cycle B. overcome your laziness
C. get up early than usual D. go to bed earlier
56. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will .
A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B. help you to control your temper early in the day
C. enable you to get your energy on your routine work
D. keep your energy cycle under control all day
57. What’s the best title of the passage ?
A. Change Your Habits B. Save Your Energy
C. Daily Energy Cycle D. Temperature—and—Energy Peak
D
Scientists have discovered a gene （基因）that plays a role in violence （暴力）in men ill—treated in childhood . The discovery could explain why some experience unhappy childhoods and go on to normal lives , while others turn to violence , crime of antisocial deeds . But it will also restart another argument .
Terrie Moffitt and Avshalom Caspi report in Science today that one common form of a gene in the brain makes men more likely to be violent—but only if they have experienced cruelty or rejection in childhood . The researchers followed up the life histories of 442boys born in New Zealand in 1972 . Of these , 154 had been illtreated in the first 10 years , 33 of them badly . They had either experienced sexual attack , beatings or rejection by mother or stepparents . Of the 154 children , 55had a less active variant （变异体）of a gene called MAOA, and 99had the more active variant . The 55 boys were more than twice as likely to have been in trouble than the other ill—treated group . They made up 12% of the total , but were responsible for 44%of all crimes from among the 442 boys .
Prof Moffitt thought a “violence” gene had not been discovered . Boys with the less active form who were not ill—treated during childhood lived normal lives . “It is very common in the population . One third of us have it .”she said , “So the gene doesn’t do much of anything , it doesn’t cause any trouble in any way , unless we are also ill —treated”.
The gene might also show the ability to bear mental stress. The army or the police might examine the applicants （申请人）to see if they have the more active form . But the discovery also raises the argument that people with the less active form of the gene could be social dangers ,to be treated with medicine . “This research can easily leads people to fix social problems through medical treatment ,” said David King of the UK Gene Alert Group .
58. According to the passage , the less active variant of the gene .
A. will totally determine men’s character and behaviour
B. always leads to trouble —making
C. might be responsible for boys’ bad deeds
D. plays no role in children’s development
59. We can learn from the passage that those men who have stronger ability to bear mental
stress usually .
A. have the more active variant of gene B. have the less active variant of the gene
C. had ill —treated childhood D. had no ill—treated childhood
60. According to the passage , we can infer that .
A. one fifth of the population carry the less active variant .
B. boys with the less active variant will not live normal lives
C. all the people agree with the idea of “violence” gene
D. the less active variant and ill—treated experience contribute to violence
61. David King’s words in the last paragraph implies that .
A. he agrees with the research findings of the gene MAOA
B. he doesn’t believe the possible role of the less active variant
C. he considers that the research is of no great importance
D. he thinks the findings to solve the social problems too simple

Beijing has started a battle to get rid of “Chinglish” (Chinese English ) . The “Language mandarins” of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China’s modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008 .
A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace （Chang’an Street ）, for example , advised : “To Take Notice of Safe ; The Slippery are Very Crafty ,”a warning that the sidewalk was slippery . Another sign in a Beijing park reads : “Little grass is smiling slightly , please walk on sidewalk “.
Li Honghai , the city official in charge of the battle , said : “Linguistic perfection (语言美)is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city .”
However , not everyone shares the disdain （蔑视）of the Beijing government for the mixed language . “The choice of words is pretty much . One can either choose the verbs ,adverbs , nouns or whatever one likes ,” explained one Hongkong linguist on an Internet website .
So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases . Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with “Keep this candle out of children” and a model boat—curiously named Posh Sailboat—which means “Please don’t place it in dusty play .”
If the battle against Chinglish is successful , Chinese will also turn their attention to the English—language versions of newspapers , which play an even more important role in teaching right English.
62. The underlined word “obliterated” refers to .
A. removed B. exploited C. translated D. beautified
63. From the passage , we know that .
A. everyone shares the disdain for the mixed language
B. all the people don’t share the disdain for the mixed language
C. Chinglish usually communicates in many cases
D. several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinglish phrases
64. We can infer that the English—language versions of newspapers .
A. should be in duty to teach normal English
B. should report the battle above
C. should be paid more attention to
D. should collect more Chinglish phrases
65. Which of the following signs is Chinglish ?

Dear friends,
Time waits for no man. The five days’ short but meaningful summer camp will soon come to the end just like a beautiful dream. In the camp we took part in two important competitions. One was the speech competition and the other the debate competition, in which we learned from each other and encouraged each other. I really got a great deal. The experience in the summer camp will be the most wonderful and unforgettable part of my life.
At the time for saying good-bye, I hate to leave you. I will miss you. So let’s just work hard and try to meet again next year in the 2003 National English Summer Camp for College Students. That’s all. Thank you.
