Turning off TV : a Quiet Hour
I would like to propose that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening, right after the early evening news , all television broadcasting in the United States be ___16___ by law.
Let us take a serious , reasonable look at what the results be if such a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real family hour .Without the ___17___ of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another .It is well known that many of our problems — everything ,in fact ,from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness — are caused at least in part by ___18___to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems , we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.
On evenings when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes.___19___ from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset. Or they might take a walk together (remember feet?) and see the neighborhood with fresh, new eyes.
With free time and no TV , children and adults might rediscover reading . There is more___20___ in a good book than in a month of typical TV programming . Educators report that the generation growing up with television can ___21___ write an English sentence, even at the college level. Writing is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a___22___of the quiet hour.
At first glance, the idea of an hour without TV seems radical. What will parents do without the ___23___baby-sitter? How will we spend the time ? But it is not radical at all. It has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can remember childhoods without television, spent ___24___with radio — which at least _____25_____the listener’s imagination — but also with reading, learning, talking, playing games, inventing new activities. It wasn’t that difficult. Honest. The truth is we enjoyed ourselves greatly.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words on phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Housing is one of the most important needs for human life. It is also one of the most heavily regulated sectors. Since Worlds War I, in most countries, the government has ___36___ interfered in the housing market, trying to correct existing or imagined market failures. For example, virtually all countries have had, at some point, rent controls. By the early 2010s, such regulations were abandoned by most countries. However, a renaissance of rent control is now ___37___ in many countries. For example, limitations on rent setting were imposed in Paris and Lyon (France) in July 2019 and March 2020, ___38___; state-wide rent growth restrictions were introduced in California in January 2020 and are to remain in force until January 2031; and in Berlin (Germany) rents were ___39___ for 5 years starting in February 2020, to name just a few examples. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the importance of such measures. After the majority of countries imposed sanitary restrictions, such as lockdowns, in March 2020, the ___40___ loss of income led to a worldwide wave of eviction (驱逐)bans and rent freezes. Thus, that housing market regulations play an important role is not just ___41___ fact, it is present reality.
Although governments use various combinations of carrots and sticks to achieve their goals, here we concentrate only on stick policies. ___42___, we examine the three restrictive housing market regulations:(a)rent control;(b)protection of tenants from eviction; (c)housing ___43___ . Being ubiquitous (almost everywhere) and often used at a large scale, these policies can affect various aspects of not just the housing market but also the whole ___44___ . They can influence housing prices and rents, the choice between renting and owning, residential construction, the accumulation and distribution of wealth, and residential mobility. Indirectly, they can contribute to the buildup of price bubbles and ____45____ of unemployment. The assessment of their effects can be facilitated by the creation of indices (指数)quantifying the degree of severity of such governmental interference. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a multicountry, multiperiod database of rental housing market ____46____.
This study has several important advantages. First, it ____47____ a very long period of time, which is important given long-lasting effects of governmental regulations upon markets, especially housing markets where a very ____48____ good is traded. Second, it uses a wide panel of countries from all ____49____ continents, taking advantage of a wide variety of not just socioeconomic and cultural conditions but also historical paths. Third, it contains a(n) ____50____ indicator that measures the intensity of housing rationing—a form of regulation that, until now, has been neglected in the literature.

【答案】55. D 56. C 57. A
(C)
At the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to reach its full size and strength, and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at this age the likelihood of death is least. Earlier, we were infants and young children, and consequently more vulnerable (易受伤害的), later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which, though unnoticeable at first, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourselves, and however well society, and our doctors, look after us.
This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing. It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way, that if we escape wars, accidents and disease we shall eventually “die of old age”, and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person, so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longer—on into a ninth or tenth decade. But the chances are against it, and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive, however lucky and robust we are.
Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it. We are so familiar with the fact that ma ages, that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with time, of becoming more likely to die the older we get, was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes. They have also assumed that all animals, and probably other organisms such as trees, or even the universe itself, must in the nature of things “wear out”.
Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do, if given the chance to live long enough; and mechanical systems like a wound watch, or the sun, do in fact run out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics (whether the whole universe does so is a moot point at present). But these are not analogous (类似的)to what happens when man ages. A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound. An old watch, by contrast, becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending. But a watch could never repair itself —it does not consist of living parts, only of metal, which wears away by friction. We could, at one time, repair ourselves—well enough, at least, to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents. Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power, an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us out, and into our grave. If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years for half of us to die, and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again.
58. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A. Our first twelve years represent the peak of human development.
B. People usually are unhappy when reminded of ageing.
C. Normally only a few of us can live to the eighties and nineties.
D. People are usually less likely to die at twelve years old.
59. The word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph Two refers to .
A. remaining alive until 65 B. remaining alive after 80
C. dying before 65 or after 80 D. dying between 65 and 80
60. What is ageing?
A. It is usually a phenomenon of dying at an old age.
B. It is a fact that people cannot live any longer.
C. It is a gradual loss of vigor and resistance.
D. It is a phase when people are easily attacked by illness.
61. What do the examples of watch show?
A. Normally people are quite familiar with the ageing process.
B. All animals and other organisms undergo the ageing process.
C. The law of thermodynamics functions in the ageing process.
D. Human’s ageing process is different from that of mechanisms.

Mental illness and disability were family problems for English people living between 1660 and 1800. Most women and men who suffered from mental illness were not institutionalized as this was the period before the extensive building of mental hospitals. Instead, they were housed at home, and cared for by other family members.
Now a new study by Cambridge historian Dr Elizabeth Foyster will reveal the impact on families of caring for mentally ill and disabled relatives.
Much has been written about the insane themselves but few studies have considered mental illness from the perspective of the carers. The lifetime burden of caring for those individuals whose mental development did not progress beyond childhood, and who contemporaries labeled as ‘idiots’ or ‘fools’, has been little explored by historians. Foyster’s research, which has been funded by the Leverhulme Trust, will carefully examine the emotional and economic consequences for families at a time when the Poor Law bound them to look after their mentally ill and disabled family members.
By asking key questions about the impact of ‘care in the community’ in the 18th century, Foyster hopes that her research will bridge social and medical history. Specifically, she aims to provide an historical perspective for contemporary debates such as how resources can be stretched to provide for children with learning difficulties and an aging population.
“The stresses and strains of family were worsened by high infant mortality and low life expectancy, and many individuals were pushed towards mental breakdown,” she explained. “Moreover, inherited conditions, senility(高龄) and what today would be described as ‘special needs’ could put great emotional demands on family members who had primary responsibility for their sick or disabled relatives.”
The research will shed light upon how caring for the mentally ill and disabled raised difficult issues for families about the limits of intergenerational responsibility, and whether family ties were weakened or strengthened by the experience. The questions of how far shame was attached to having insanity or idiocy within a family, and at what point families began to seek outside help, will also be addressed.
“The family must have seemed an inescapable feature of daily life between 1660 and 1800,” said Foyster. “Although there were those who were abandoned and rejected, for the majority, mental disability was accommodated within the family unit. I aim to get to the heart of what this really meant for people’s lives.”
62. Which is NOT the reason why those mentally ill and disabled were not institutionalized from 1660 to 1800?
A. Mental illness and disability were family problems then.
B. The extensive building of mental hospitals didn’t start yet.
C. They were abandoned by the government and the family.
D. The family would be found guilty if they didn’t care for them.
63. Why does Foyster want to carry out this study?
A. Because it can provide some food for thought for some current social issues.
B. Because the stresses and strains of family life have driven many people crazy.
C. Because she’s looking for ways to communicate with the sick or disabled people.
D. Because the limits of intergenerational responsibility in such families, interest her.
64. Which question will NOT be studied in the research?
