8．Forget Twitter and Facebook，Google and the Kindle．Television is still the most influential medium around．Indeed，for many of the poorest regions（地區(qū)）of the world，it remains the next big thing--finally becomes globally available．And that is a good thing，because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better．
Across the developing world，around 45% of families had a TV in 1995； by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%．That is some way behind the U．S．，where are more TVs than people，and where people now easily get access to the Internet．Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years．In 2005，after the fall of the Taliban（塔利班），which had outlawed TV，1 in 5 Afghans had one．The global total is another 150 million by 2013--pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families．
Television's most powerful effect will be on the lives of women．In India，researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached village s，women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands'approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl．They were more likely to make decisions over child health care．TV is also a powerful medium for adult education．In the Indian state of Gujarat，Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen．Within six months，viewers had made a small but significant（有意義的） improvement in their reading skills．
Too much TV has been associated with violence，overweight and loneliness．However，TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide．

40．The underlined word"outlawed"in paragraph 2 probably means"B"．
   A．a(chǎn)llowed          B．banned          C．offered            D．refused
41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Americans used to get access to the Internet easily．
B．The world's TV sets will total 150 million by 2013．
C.45% of families in the de veloping countries had a TV in 2005．
D．Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013．
42．The author intends toA．
A．stress the advantages of TV to people's lives 
B．persuade women to become more independent 
C．encourage people to improve their reading skills 
D．introduce the readers some websites such as Google
43．What would be the best title for the passage？C
A．TV Will Rule the World                 
B．TV Will Disturb the World 
C．TV Will Better the World                
D．TV Will Remain in World．

分析 本文是一篇說明文，主要說明電視仍然是各地最有影響力的媒介．實際上，對于很多世界上最貧困的地區(qū)來說，電視依然是未來發(fā)展的重要東西．電視的革命正在諸多方面改善落后地區(qū)人們的生活．總數(shù)目增加；在婦女生活方面的影響；電視也是成人教育的強大的媒介．

解答 40．B   詞意猜測題． 由本句中"the Taliban及1 in 5 Afghans had one"可猜測出，塔利班在政期間是對電視持反對態(tài)度的，因此是禁止的故選B．
41．D   細節(jié)理解題． 根據(jù)第二段最后一句中"The global total is another 150 million by 2013--pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families"可知，到2013年，世界上三分之二的家庭都將會有一臺電視．故選D．
42．A  推理判斷題． 根據(jù)最后一段第二句"However，TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide"可以推斷出，作者主要強調(diào)電視對人類生活積極的方面．故選A．
43．C  主旨大意題．由第一段第二句"Television is still the most influential medium 及第三段第一句"Television's most powerful effect will be on the lives of women"及文章最后一段第二句"However，TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide"可知，本文主要講的是電視將會讓人們生活越來越好．故選C．

點評 解答細節(jié)理解題時，一個常用的方法就是運用定位法，即根據(jù)題干和選項中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子，與選項進行比較從而確定答案；推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思，又要求學(xué)生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀點．

注意：請將答案寫在答題卡上相應(yīng)題號的橫線上．每個空格只填一個單詞．
When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not？
Why Difficult？
When we wrong someone we know，even not intentionally，we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation．But when we're acting as leaders，the circumstances are different．The act of apology is carried out not merely at the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution．It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record．Refusing to apologize can be smart，or it can be stupid．So，readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness．A successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmony-while an apology that is too little，too late，or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institutional ruin．What，then，is to be done？How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly？
Why Now？
The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more urgent．During the last decade or so，the United States in particular has developed an apology culture-apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently than before．More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public apologies．More articles，cartoons，advice columns，and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of private apologies．
Why Bother？
Why do we apologize？Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult，embarrassing，and even risky？Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target．They are expected to appear strong and capable．And whenever they make public statements of any kind，their individual and institutional reputations are in danger．Clearly，then，leaders should not apologize often or lightly．For a leader to express apology，there needs to be a good，strong reason．Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so．
Why Refuse？
Why is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize，even when a public apology seems to be in order？Their reasons can be individual or institutional．Because leaders are public figures，their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky．Leaders may also be afraid that admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible．There can be good reasons for hanging tough in tough situations，as we shall see，but it is a high-risk strategy．

13．Ask a group of elderly people what it was about their lives that made them happiest overall，and they'll probably mention some warm relationships with family and friends．If you're satisfied with your social life，according to psychologists，you tend to be satisfied with life in general．
From the point of my 50s，I'd say that sounds about right．Some of my happiest moments are the ones I spend with my husband，a few close relatives，and a handful of very good friends who know me well and like me anyway．But the more I read about how social media are interfering with （干擾） good old-fashioned friendship，creating virtual bonds that can't quite take the place of real ones，the more I wonder just how today's 20-somethings will look back on their own lives when they're my age．
After all，much crucial relationship building work is done in the 20s．According to research by the late Bernice Neugarten of the University of Chicago，who helped launch the academic study of human development，people choose most of their adult relationships，both friends and lovers，between the ages of 22and 28．The friends we make in our 20s are not only best friends forever； they're also our first truly chosen friends．And choosing how to commit to these friendships is an essential psychological task of the 20s．
But with so much of friendship in this age group now being developed online，an essential question is what the effect of that interaction is．A study，conducted in 2010by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee of the University of Texas at Austin，investigated the Facebook habits of 776young people between the ages of 18and 35．"Whether it is a wall post，a comment，or a photo，"they wrote，"young people's engagement with Facebook is driven，primarily，by a desire to stay connected to and involved in the lives of friends who live close by，far away，or have just entered into their lives．"
This kind of constant contact can be efficient，but it can also be upsetting．For one thing，it adds a new layer of concern to a young person's already-heightened awareness of social ranking，giving appearance-conscious young people yet another thing to worry about．"I see other 20-somethings feeling pressured to constantly keep up a public image，especially a public image online，"wrote Ariana Allensworth on the group blog．"Folks are always keeping the world informed one way or another about what they're up to，where they're at，what projects they're working on．It can be a bit much at times．"Not the most fertile ground for real-world friendship．

74．According to the passage，the 20s is an age for people toD．
A．have a good public image
B．keep themselves informed
C．look back on their own lives
D．develop critical relationships
75．Which of the following is a disadvantage of making friends onlineB？
A．It makes people pay less attention to social ranking．
B．It robs people of the happy moments spent with friends．
C．It keeps people away from their family and close relatives．
D．It prevents people from keeping in contact with their friends．
76．What was the aim of the study conducted by Craig Watkins and Erin LeeB？
A．To know about the 776young people's Facebook habits．
B．To find out how social media affect real-world social life．
C．To help young people stay connected to the lives of friends．
D．To investigate what kind of people prefer online interactions．
77．The author may agree thatC．
A．old-fashioned friendship can help create virtual bonds
B．there's no need for young people to make online friends
C．real-world friendship is a better choice for young people
D．online friendship is an inevitable trend in the modern world．

17．Everybody loves to play board games sometimes，but it is surprising to know how long this pastime has been in existence．Some of the earliest board games are over 5，000 years old．The oldest is probably Senet，an American Egyptian game which has been found in burials from before 3000 BC．The game involves an element of luck，and so it was thought by the Ancient Egyptians that those who won the game were protected by God．For this reason，games of Senet were often buried alongside the dead body，to be used on the dangerous game board is set out as a grid of three by ten rows，and uses two sets of at least five pawns．The actual rules are unknown，although some historians have proposed rules which were used in the Senet sets available today．
The Royal Game of Ur，also known as the Game of Twenty Squares，is another ancient game which dates back to the First Dynasty of Ur，in 2600 BC Mesopotamia．It was played with two sets of seven counters，one black and one white，and three four-sided dice （骰子）．Although the ancient rules are unknown，a stone tablet has been found which describes a reliable record of how the game was played in 177-176 BC．
Both Senet and The Royal Game of Ur probably came into existence long before the game backgammon （西洋雙陸棋），which itself has a long history．The game of Nard，which existed in Iran in around 3000 BC，used two sets of fifteen counters，four dice and same board as the one used in backgammon today，although the initial starting positions and rules are different．Similar games were played in Ancient Rome and India．
