g Comprehension Television, the modern wonder of
electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight
and sound. And the word ‘television’ means seeing far.
Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio,
sound is changed into electromagic waves which are sent
through the air. Experiments leading to modern television
took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s
inventions and researchers had turned the early theories
into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for
TV to bee industry. The influence of TV on the life of
the people is incalculable:it can influence their thoughts
and their way of life. It can also add to their store of


knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in
various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical
students to get close-up views of operations. At first
television programs were broadcast in black - and - white.
With the development of science and technology, the problem
of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the
middle 1960s the national works were broadcasting most of
their programs in color. The programs that people watch
are not only local and national ones. Since the launching
of the first munications sa ___ite,more and more programs
are telecast ‘live’ from all over the world. People in
San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in
Tokyo. And live telecasts now e from outer 1969,
the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their
historic ‘moon walk’ to viewers on the earth. Since then,
astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.

close-up views of operations B．store knowledge

more and more programs are telecast “live”from all over
the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the
1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo.可以判断出答案是C。 22．The
development of science and technology made it possible for
television programs to __________. A．be telecast in full
color B．be telecast in San Francisco C．be telecast in
Tokyo D．be telecast in black - and - white 答案：A
［解析］答案应该在第三段With the development of science
and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full
color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national works
were broadcasting most of their programs in color. 23．The
word ‘incalculable’ means ________. A．easy to ___
B．very great C．difficult to ___ D．very small 答
案：B ［解析］这道题需要根据上下文来判断，第三段的主题句
是The influence of TV on the life of the people is
incalculable: 后面解释 用了It can ……. It also can ….
通过这两个结构我们可以 看出电视对人生活的影响是无数的。这道
题还可以通过构词法来判断，calculate的意思是计算 ，因此
incalculable 的意思是“无数的，数不尽的” 24．Television is

_______. A．it influences people’s way of life B．it makes
people see far C．it brings the world into people’s own

答案：D

Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension Time spent in a bookshop can be
most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or only there
to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the
shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever
the reason, you can soon bee totally unaware of your
surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an
attractive design is irresistible, although this method of
selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up
with a rather uninteresting book. You soon bee lost in some
book or other, and usually it is only much later that you
realize you have spent far too much time there and must
hurry to keep some forgotten appointment - without buying a
book, of course. The opportunity to escape the realities
of everyday life is,I think, the main attraction of a
