[ C] we received calls from people down the road two years ago.

[D] people called us for school vacancies two years in advance.

But in order that we don't slip back into bad habits,let's have a look at what life was like 100 years ago. Families had between 15 and 20 children,although many babies didn't live long.

大学英语（统考）在线练习题12(客观题)试卷总分:100 得分:100一、 阅读理解 (共 4 道试题,共 40 分)1. Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers? Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings-battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or killed took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen. Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit. 1). The phrase subscribe to in the first paragraph means _. A. go to the newspaper stand and buy B. send their own news stories to C. agree to buy for a specific period of time D. become faithful readers of 满分：2 分 2). The habit of reading newspapers is _ .

Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the f、irst is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of unif

考题 共用题干 Messages from the Media1.The weather forecast,a story about the candidates in an election,and movie reviews are examples of messages from the media. A communication medium , of which the plural（复数的） form is media,is a means of communicating a message.Examples of media are television,radio, newspapers and books and the telephone.The media that can reach many people at once are callemass media.2.It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media. Every day we get hundreds of them.Think about advertisements,for example.We see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go.Advertisements are important messages,even though they are sometimes annoying.They help us compare and evaluate products.3.Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think for a moment, about how you learn about local news and events.Do you depend on other people or the media?What about international news?What is the most important source of information for you?People who are asked this question usually answer,"Television".4.Think of all the messages you received today.Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read advertisements on billboards（露天广告牌）on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather forecast or the sports news on the radio this morning?Right now you are getting information through a very important medium of mass communication一a book.5.We use the information we get from radio,television,newspapers and other media to make decisions and form opinions.That is why the mass media are so important.Editorials and articles in newspapers help us decide how to vote,consumer reports on television help up decide how to spend our money,and international news on the radio makes us think and form opinions about questions of war and peace.Paragraph 2________A:Importance of Classroom LearningB:Television一A Rich Source of InformationC:Advertisements as Important Messages from the Mass MediaD:Various Messages One May Receive Each DayE:Media一Means to Communicate MessagesF:Importance of the Mass Media答案：C解析：本段的中心意思是广告是一种重要的大众媒体，即：“A communication medium,…，is a means of communicating a message.”故选E。中间部分的“Advertisements are important messages”是它的主题句，即电视是一个重要的信息来源，所以选C。第三段的开头“ Most of us get more information from the media”，最后点出了这种媒体是电视，所以选B。第四段开头“Think of all the messages you received today”。我们今天接受的所有信息，接下来进行了详细的列举，所以题目为Various Messages One May Receive Each Day，人们每天收集到的不同信息，即D。第二段的第一句和第二句“messages we receive through the mass media.Every day we get hundreds of them”。我们从大众媒体获得各种信息，因此选项F正确。第一段中间提到了media的概念，接着列出了各种各样的媒体，这些媒体是公众交流信息的途径，所以选C , mass communication大众传媒。第三段倒数第二句首先提出了题干的问题，然后回答“电视机是大多数人的信息源”，故应选E。第五段开头指出“We use the information… make decisions and from opinions”。我们利用媒体做决定，形成自己的观点，所以B正确。

Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change.

I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering.
