Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk".The topics on his show are as surprising as can be.For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level.Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people"s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top.But Oprah goes in the opposite direction.The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life.Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society.Jerry ends every show with a "final word".He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show.Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone.The show"s main audience are middle-class Americans.Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life"s tough problems.Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society.These are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug.They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show"s exploitation.
小题1:Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are____.
A.more interesting | B.unusually poplar |

The fourth-graders at Chicago’s McCormick Primary School are unaware of the difficulty in learning Chinese. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it’s becoming their third language. They’ve been learning and using Chinese words since kindergarten, and it’s now second nature to give a hearty “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom.
The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common fixture(固定物) in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on security—useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents—has driven a quick growth in the number of programs.
Chicago itself is home to the largest effort to include Chinese in US public schools. The program here has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. It’s true that the number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.
Advocates (提倡者,拥护者) see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as a help in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world’s next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization(全球化) has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to need to think about their careers… The question is, when not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”
In Chicago, the trend extends beyond schools with high numbers of Asian students. “The fact that my students are 98% low income and 99% Latino(拉丁美洲人) and they are succeeding in this, tells me everyone should have a try at learning languages,” says Virginia Rivera, principal at McCormick.“We want to give our young people opportunities to advance… and Chinese is a great opportunity to survive in today’s economy,” says Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago.
小题1:The first paragraph is mainly written to _______.
A.show the importance of Chinese learning |
B.introduce the topic to be followed |
C.advise primary schools to teach Chinese |
D.prove it’s easy for children to learn language |
A.Six. | B.Two. |
C.Three. | D.Four. |
A.the competition between Latino and Asian students |
B.the global economy |
C.the interesting way to engage with China |
D.the Chinese learning |
A.Most students at McCormick can speak three languages. |
B.Chinese is gaining its popularity in all schools in Chicago. |
C.French has far more speakers than Chinese does in Chicago. |
D.Globalization in a way makes it necessary to learn Chinese. |
A.The Chinese learning in Chicago. |
B.The ways to learn Chinese. |
C.McCormick Primary School. |
D.Globalization and Chinese learning. |
Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies. Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to see using weapons as second nature. Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive (侵犯的) experiences that are rewarded by more killing.
Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression. For instance, in 2000, scientists in Iowa State University found that people who played violent games were more likely to admit involvement in aggressive behaviors, including assaults (侵犯人体罪) or robberies.
A study of 13 to 14-year-old children showed that more than half had played games recommended only for over18s. The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to be acceptable. Besides, children who play violent games are more prone (有做……倾向的) to arguing with teachers and fighting.
Experimental studies have also hinted at a possible link. In one, scientists asked a group of students to play a violent game, while another group played the nonviolent. Those who played the violent games were faster to react to aggressive words subsequently (随后) flashed on screen.
小题1: We may infer from the first paragraph that .
A.computer games have little to do with violence in real life |
B.Manhunt has resulted in the death of one of its plays |
C.lifelike computer games are forbidden in the UK |
D.legislation to protect children in the UK still needs improving |
A.violent movies are not so attractive to children |
B.the viewers can"t take part in violent movies |
C.violent movies are not popular with children |
D.children can win awards in violent games |
A.Further research on the harm of violent games. |
B.Further differences between violent game and nonviolent games. |
C.Ways to protect children from violent games. |
D.The result of more experimental studies. |
A.Games and Murder |
B.Should Computer Games become lifelike? |

The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels(分贝)measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.
Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales" ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
小题1: According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?
A.The man-made noises. | B.The noises made by themselves. |
C.The sound of earthquakes. | D. The sound of the ice-breaking. |
A.Different places with different types of noises. |
B.The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises. |
C.The ocean animals" reaction to noises. |
D.The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean. |
A.prevent them from doing their research work |
B.benefit them a lot in their research work |
C.do good to their health |
D.increase the industrial output |
A.They will try their best to decrease noise. |
B.They will work hard to cut down noise pollution. |
C.They will study the effect of different noises. |
D.They will protect animals from harmful noises. |
