Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions(地区)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 2021——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 villages, 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(有意义的) 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.
( ) 1. The underlined word “outlawed” in paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A. allowed B. banned C. offered D. refused
( ) 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.
B. The world’s TV sets will total 150 million by 2021.
C.45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.
D. Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2021.
( ) 3. The author intends to .
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
( ) 4. What would be the best title for the passage? K^S*5U.C#O%
A.TV Will Rule the World B.TV Will Disturb the World
C.TV Will Better the World D.TV Will Remain in World
【语篇解读】本篇文章为谈论文。本文围围着电视照旧是世界上最有影响力的媒体说起，并用事实进一步证明白电视的存在会让我们的生活越来越好
1.答案B。
【解析】词义猜想题。由本句中the Taliban及1 in 5 Afghans had one可以猜想出，塔利班在政期间是对电视持反对态度，因此是禁止的。故选项B符合题意。K^S*5U.C
2.答案D。
【解析】细节理解题。依据其次段最终一句中“pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families”可知，到2021年，世界上三分之二的家庭都将会有一台电视。因此选D项。
3.答案A。K^S*5U.C
【解析】推理推断题。依据最终一段其次句“However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide”可以推断出，作者主要强调电视对人类生活乐观的方面。故选A项
4.答案C。
【解析】主旨大意题。由第一段其次句“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”及文章最终一段其次句“However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.”可知，本文主要讲的是电视将会让人们生活越来越好。由此可知应选C项。 K^S*5U.C#O%

When you consider what subject to study in college, chances are that you and your parents will think about what you can make out of it after graduation. You will likely ask the question: “Can I find a well-paid job or simply a job with a degree in this in the future?”
This consideration also influences students when they come to choose between studying science or humanities (人文学科) at college. People generally believe that the humanities, which include literature , history, cultural studies and philosophy, do not prepare students for a specific vocation (职业). Science subjects, however, are considered vocational courses that produce scientists, engineers and economists (经济学家).
“I've decided to take finance as my college major. My parents and I think this subject will help me get a good job or start a business,” said Huachen Yueru, 17, a science student at Wuxi No. 1 High School.
Even those who choose a liberal arts (文科) education often pick the humanities subject which they think will best help them later find a job.
“I'm going to study Spanish in college, which I believe will open doors to a high-paying job for me,” said Liu Chao, 18, a Senior 2 student at Dalian No 20 High School. He said few of his classmates show interest in subjects like philosophy and history, which are seen as “less promising” in job markets.
The popularity of liberal arts subjects among college students has also been decreasing in the United States. American scholars (学者) and universities are concerned that in the ongoing economic crisis (经济危机) liberal arts subjects will be hit hardest. As money tightens (紧缩), they worry that the humanities may become “a great luxury (铺张品) that many cannot afford”, according to the New York Times.
44. When you consider what to study in college, what does you and your parents usually think about ?
A. whether you are interested in the subject.
B. if you can lead a happy life.
C. what you can make out of it after graduation.
D .How much you can learn in the college.
45.Why do students show little interest in the subjects, like philosophy or history ?
A .Because they are not interested in them.
B. Because they think these subjects are useless.
C. Because they see these subjects as less-promising in job market.
D. Because they like the science subjects.
46. What can we infer from the passage ?
A. Humanities are becoming less and less popular with the students.
B. Studying science subjects is sure to find a well-paid job.
C. The humanities in college should be cancelled.
D. The writer thinks those who choose the liberal arts education will choose their favorite subjects.
47. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph ?
A. the subject you study in college B. science C. humanities D. liberal arts
