阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从（1）～（15）各题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

We all know that some things are obviously right.For example，it is right to be ( 1 ) to other people.It is also right to look after the environment.Some things are ( 2 )wrong，too.For instance，we should not hurt or bully（欺负） others，nor should we litter.Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right ( 3 )，and remain safe.Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes.Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent ( 4 ).

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration，it will be ( 5 ) for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view.For example，they may believe that people should always tell the truth，and that lying is ( 6 )acceptable.Such people always stick to their views，even if it means that they may get into ( 7 ).

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know ( 8 ) what is right or wrong.Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is ( 9 ) to eat animals，but others argue that they can eat meat and ( 10 ) be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong，but others think that one does not need to feel so ( 11 ) when stealing some food to eat，if he lives in a really poor area and he is ( 12 ).

Rules help us live together in harmony，because they show us the right way to

( 13 )others.However，some people argue that rules may be ( 14 )，having observed that rules change all the time，and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones—so who is to ( 15 ) what is right? 1.A.kind 2.A.equally 3.A.suggestions 4.A.accidents 5.A.interesting 6.A.seldom 7.A.trouble 8.A.roughly 9.A.awful 10.A.still 11.A.nervous

12.A.begging 13.A.follow 14.A.disgusting 15.A.predict

B.starving B.instruct B.confusing B.explain

C.growing C.treat C.unsafe C.decide

D.wandering D.protect D.unimportant D.consider

【答案】

(1)A (2)C (3)D (4)A (5)C (6)D (7)A (8)D (9)B (10)A (11)D (12)B (13)C (14)B (15)C 【解析】

（1）根据句意，此处表示对人友善是很正确的事情。故此处要用kind。sensitive “敏感的”；fair“公平的”；generous“慷慨的”。

（2）承接上文，与第一句some things are obviously right相对应。此处表示也有些事情是明显错误的，此处clearly“明显地”符合语境。

（3）根据下文内容不难看出，此处表示遇事所做的选择。故用choice“选择”。suggestion“建议”； conclusion“结论”；turn“转折”。A、B、C三项均不合文意。 （4）骑自行车的人在转弯或停车时给出信号会避免事故的发生，用accidents。

（5）根据句意可知，此处表示很容易会让他们形成这种“非黑即白”的观点。故此处要用easy。

（6）根据句意，此处表示有些人认为人们无论何时都必须说实话，永远不能撒谎。 （7）句意：这样的人总是固执己见，即使这意味着他们有时会遇到麻烦。get into trouble“陷入困境，遇到麻烦”。

（8）此处表示“有时很难确切地分清对与错”。roughly“粗略地”；eventually“最终”；deliberately“故意地”；exactly “确切地”。

（9）根据下文中的kind一词不难看出，此处要用其反义词cruel “残酷的”。 （10）有些人主张吃肉的同时仍然会善待动物。still“仍然”符合语境。

（11）根据句意，此处表示“偷吃食物不必过于内疚”。guilty “有罪的，内疚的”，符合语境。 （12）根据上下文，此处指的是生活在贫困地区的挨饿的人，故要用starving“挨饿的”。 （13）规则有助于我们和谐共存，因为它们给我们展示了对待他人的正确方式。故用treat“对待；处理”。

（14）有些人却认为规则会令人迷惑。与下文的change all the time相呼应。

（15）有些学校有这样的规章，然而在别的学校却有其他的，由谁来决定哪些是正确的

predict“预测”；explain “解释， consider“考虑，呢？decide“决定，确定”。说明”；认为”。

II、阅读理解(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)

A

Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies.Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public，and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing.Sport events are the most popular weekend programs，especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week.This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.

Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their

advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports.The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male

viewers.They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers，cars and life insurance.

Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers，and the ratings（收视率）are unusually low.However，the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers.It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States，including many lawyers and business managers.This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars，business and

personal computers，and holiday trips.This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings.Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of

“company cars” and computers.With such viewers，these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air.

16.Television sport programs on weekend afternoons ______. A.result in more sport events B.get more viewers to play sports

C.make more people interested in television D.bring more money to the television networks

17.Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs? A.Because there would be few viewers.

B.Because the advertisers would be off work. C.Because television programs would go slowly.

D.Because viewers would pay less for watching television. 18.In many families，men make decisions on ______.

A.holiday trips B.sports viewing

C.television shopping D.expensive purchases

19.The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because ______. A.their advertisers are carmakers B.their viewers are attracted by sports C.their advertisers target at rich people D.their viewers can afford expensive cars 20.What is the passage mainly about?

A.Television ratings are determined by male viewers. B.Rich viewers contribute most to television companies. C.Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television. D.Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events. 【答案】

(1)D (2)A (3)D (4)C (5)C 【解析】

（1）推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.”可知，这个时间播放体育节目会使电视台能够高价插播广告，自然会令他们创收，故D项正确。 （2）推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“...Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing.”可知，平常周末的下午是收视率最低的时候，故A项正确。

（3）细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“...that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers，cars and life insurance.”可知，男性往往对家庭重大开支作出决定，故此处D项正确。

（4）细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States...”可知，高收入人群是他们的目标观众。故C项正确。 （5）主旨大意题。根据文章开头“Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies.”可以看出本文主要介绍体育运动对电视及其商业广告的作用。故C项正确。
