Section B

Directions:

There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B),

C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.

?

Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Let us suppose that you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children to read any book

they wanted to without first checking its contents? Would you take your children to see any film without

first finding out whether it is suitable for them? If your answer to these questions is

extremely permissive. If your answer is

your children from what you consider to be undesirable influences. In other words, by acting as a censor

yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship.

Now, of course, you will say that it is one thing to exercise censorship where children are concerned and

quite another to do the same for adults. Children need protection and it is the parents' responsibility to

provide it. But what about adults? Aren't they old enough to decide what is good for them? The answer is

that many adults are, but don't make the mistake of thinking that all adults are like you. Censorship is for

the good of society as a whole. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.

Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with the works of art. Who is this

person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior

being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern

censors are extremely liberal in their

views ― often far more liberal than a large section of the public.

Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the

great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being

of arts

When

discussing

censorship,

we

should

not

confine

our

attention

to

great

masterpieces,

but

should

consider

the

vast

numbers

of

publications

and

films

which

make

up

the

bulk

of

the

entertainment

industry. When censorship laws are relaxed,

immoral people

are

given

a license to

produce virtually

anything in the name of

色

情的

).

The

vast

market

for

pornography

would

rapidly

be

exploited.

One

of

the

great

things

that

censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. To

argue in favor of absolute freedom is to argue in favor of anarchy.

Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which

a censor provides.

Permissive parents would ________.

31.

A) let their children read any books they like to

B) not let their children see any films they like to

C) not let their children read any books without first checking their contents

D) let their children see the films with their first checking

?

A

A) the necessity of censorship

D) that the parents are permissive

?

正确答案：

A

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

33.

A) Some adults can't tell right from wrong.

whole.

C) Censors pay attention only to genuine works of art.

D) Censorship is necessary because many books, plays and films are far from being

?

C

What does the word
