very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all - sometimes it's so hot that it can make your mouth burn! But that's okay because then you can drink some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning!
Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many pars of the world. Lots of people love Chinese-style vegetables because they are so crispy. Because Chinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crispier than American-style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispiest cooked vegetables you can find. Some people don't like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home. They eat more \food\such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozen food, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often， Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking. it's easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day. Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an \form\Some people believe that French cuisine is the best in the world.

Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
If American children have to use mosquito ringtone (静音) of cell phones at school, a university
in Japan is doing the opposite: giving cell phones to students. And not just any cell phone-the iPhone 3G.
According to Asiajin, about 550 students and staff members in the School of Social Informatics at Tokyo-based university Aoyama Gakuin received the iPhone 3G for free as part of their study materials.
This is the result of a deal that Aoyama Gakuin signed with SoftBank, the only sales representative of the iPhone in Japan. The number of students using the iPhone is expected to reach about 1，000. This is the first time a particular cell phone has been used on such a huge scale at a Japanese university.
The phone will work as a study tool for students. As it comes with the global positioning system (GPS), the university plans to use it to check student attendance. Dropping classes is a big problem in Japan, where regular attendance is an important factor in determining a student's grade. Students often fake attendance by getting classmates to answer roll calls.
Now， with the iPhone 3G， the school plans to keep better tabs on (监控) its students. Students are allowed to use the phone for attendance reporting (but only if they are actually in the classroom, a fact that will be proved by the phone's GPS)， lecture podcasting, and online examinations. A student can't answer the roll cal using the phone from any location other than the classroom. Students can, of course, still cheat the new system by leaving their phones with fellow classmates, but this is not very likely to happen, as people tend to keep a lot of private information on their phones that they don't want to share with others.
As for calling and data plans, the university covers the basic fee. The hardware itself is free, but students will have to pay when they exceed downloading limits.
6. According to the passage， American children are ▲ at school.
A. encouraged to use cell phones B. not encouraged to use cell phones C. offered a new type of free cell phones D. allowed to use free cell phones

8. Which of the following problems might be solved by using the iPhone 3G? ▲ . A. Fake attendance reported by classmates B. Failure of on-line examinations C. Answer to roll calls at school D. High cost of telephoning
9. The following functions of the iPhone 3G are mentioned in the text EXCEPT ▲ .
A. attendance reporting B. lecture podcasting C. online examinations D. downloading payment 10. This passage is mainly about ▲ .
A. the uses of the iPhone 3G at a Japanese university
B. the advantages of the iPhone 3G in Japanese universities C. the control of dropping classes in a Japanese school D. the use of GPS to locate students at school Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
Coco Chanel， a French woman， is very famous for her success in the fashion world. The life of Coco Chanel is a classic rags-to-riches story.

Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are base on the following passage.
Everyone knows that laziness is not good. We have probably al had lectures telling that laziness is immoral， that it is wasteful， and that lazy people will never gain anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that， and it is often caused by more complex reasons. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may not trust their fellow workers and they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or for fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be affected by a fear of failure that prevents successful work. Some people are so busy planning great deals that they are unable to deal with\on hand. Still others are not avoiding work; strictly speaking， they are simply putting of their work.
Laziness， however， can actually be helpful. Some people may look lazy while they are really thinking， planning and researching. We should al remember that great scientific discoveries happened by chance. Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. Al of us would like to have someone \， particularly if that \do his job right. And sometimes， being \， taking time of for a rest一is good for the overworked students or executives. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the sportsman who is trying too hard or the doctor who is simply working himself overtime too many evenings in the hospital. So be careful when you want to cal someone lazy. That person may be thinking， resting， or planning his or her next work.
16. The main idea of this passage is that ▲ .

Part I Reading Comprehension （共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufactures have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown。These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy. For primitive men, activity during the day time meant hunting and attacking, in which he soon saw red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People when exposed to bright red, show an increase in breathing rate, heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure have exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop traffic dead.
1、If people are exposed to red, which of the following statements does NOT happen? A、They feel afraid. B、They breathe faster. C、Their blood pressure rise. D、Their hearts heat faster. 2、Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in making . A、by experimenting with different colors
B、by developing the discipline of color psychology C、by trying not to make mistakes
D、by accumulating their various experiences 3、Which of the following is NOT true?
A、Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological. B、Food should never be packaged in brown. C、Sugar sells badly in green wrappings.
D、Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of. 4、Our preferences for certain colors are . A、dependent on our character B、linked with the primitive men C、associated with psychology D、associated with the time of the day 5、The passage is about . A、color and traffic accidents B、color and manufacturers
C、which color might influence human feelings D、why color affects human emotions and behavior
Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For very social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other
passengers a quick glance to size them up (打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you bream the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contract for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals—“I know you,” “I am interested in you,” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
6、It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .
A、every glance has its significance B、staring at a person is an expression of interest
C、a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable D、a glance conveys more meaning than words 7、If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is .
A、to look into another passenger’s eyes B、to avoid eye contact with other passengers C、to signal you are not a threat to anyone D、to keep a distance from other passengers 8、By “a dimming of the lights” (Lines 9~10, Para. 1), Erving Goffman means “ ”. A、closing one’s eyes B、turning off the lights C、ceasing to glance at others B、reducing gaze-time to the minimum 9、If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel . A、depressed B、curious C、uneasy D、amused 10、The passage mainly discusses . A、the limitation of eye contact B、the exchange of ides through eye contact
C、proper behavior in various situations D、the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.
The spot, originated early in the 20th century in France, was current in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s (the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). Originally a European sport,
cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International (International Cyclists’ Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition. The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving laps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.
There is a massed start with there field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed
around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by picked up to the course.
11、What does the word “dismount” in paragraph one mean? A、Give up. B、Give in. C、Get out. D、Get off. 12、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about cyclo-cross?

(非英语类学生必做)
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea. They travel aimlessly over water warmed by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.
The average life of hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, in the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane bring 6 to 12 mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore. 16、When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?
A、When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas. B、When it hits the coastline.
C、When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more. D、When the circling winds bring damages. 17、What is the worst thing about hurricanes?
A、The destructive effects of water. B、The heat they release. C、That they last about nine days on the average. D、Their strong winds. 18、The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by . A、the low-pressure area in the center of the storm B、the force of waves of water C、the trade winds D、the increasing heat (英语类学生必做)
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new building which would also be rent controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.
Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problem in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps mechanical
difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases.
Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.
Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.
Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.
16、There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may .
A、cause a shortage of apartments B、worry those who rent apartments as homes
C、increase the profits of landlords D、encourage landlords to invest building apartments 17、According to the critics, rent control .
A、will always benefit those who rent apartments B、is unnecessary
C、will bring negative effects in the long run D、is necessary under all circumstances 18、The problem of unemployment will arise . A、if the minimum wage is set too high B、if the minimum wage is set too low C、if the workers are unskilled D、if the maximum wage is set 19、The passage tell us . A、the relationship between supply and demand B、the possible results of government controls
C、the necessity of government control D、the urgency of getting rid of government controls 20、Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A、The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted. B、Minimum wage can not always protect employees.
C、Economic theory can predict the result of economic decisions if other factors are not changing. D、Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
You will have no difficulty in making contact with the agent. As you enter his office, you will be greeted
immediately and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agent’s negotiator-as he is called-will probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that.
He will show you the details of a whole range of properties; many of them are not really what you are looking for at all. That does not matter. Far better turn then down than risk missing the right one.
The printed details he will give you are called “particulars”. Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agent’s particulars. It is flowery, ornate and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.
Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say “delightfully” situated. That is an expression of his opinion. You many not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents and others for that matter rather more careful.
Basically, all that you need to know about a house is : how many bedrooms it has; an indication of their size; whether the house has a garage; whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house; whether its semi-detached of terraced.
16. The Estate Agent’s negotiator will ________. A. want all details of your financial circumstances
B. want to satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a house. C. check your financial position with the XYZ Building Society D. accept any statement you make about your financial position 17. The author believes ________.

B. you should only look at details of properties of the kind you have decided to buy. C. the agent will only show you the details of properties you have in mind. D. it doesn’t matter if you miss a few properties you may be interested in.
18. The adjectives in Agent’s particulars are ______.

A. house agents only B. most estate agents C. any trader D. buyer of houses

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Drunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.
Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho (男子汉) image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach then to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern (酒栈) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade, there is no easy solution.
16、Drunken driving has become a serious problem in America because . A. most drunken drivers drive their cars at top speed
B. most drivers regard heavy drinking as part of the American macho image C. fatalities caused by drunken driving have been greatly increased
D. about 25,000 people on average are killed every year by drunken drivers 17. Why have the public changed their opinion about drunken driving? A. Because detailed statistics on drunken slaughter are now available.
B. Because they are no longer tolerant of the drunken slaughter.
C. Because judges usually give more severe sentences to drunken drivers. D. Because drunken drivers are more conscious of their image. 18. The statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that . A. many drunken drivers were not of legal age
B. many young people were in no way qualified drivers
C. raising the legal drinking age would have little effect on the reduction of tragedies D. raising the legal drinking age would reduce the fatalities caused by drunken drivers 19. Laws recently introduced in some states have .
A. reduced the number of convictions B. resulted in fewer fatalities of traffic accidents C. prevented bars from serving drunken drivers D. specified the amount drivers can drink 20. What’s the author’s attitude towards the solution to drunken driving in the United Stats? A. Ironical. B. Casual. C. Optimistic. D. Realistic. Part II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题，每小题1分，共40分)

Part ⅠReading Comprehension (共40分)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself
first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the people of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we are great talents and our uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be, thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do everyday. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or
weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you are silly because you aren’t good at math. Find a tutor. If you think you are weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you are dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat your self on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way.
1. You need to build a positive self-image when you _______.
A．dare to challenge yourself B. feel it hard to change yourself C. are unconfident about yourself D. have a high opinion of yourself 2. According to the passage, our self-images________.
A. have positive effects B. are probably untrue C. are often changeable D. have different functions 3. How should you change your self-image according to the passage? A. Keep a different image of others. B. Make your life successful C. Understand your own world D. Change the way you think 4. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to prepare for your success B. How to face challenges in your life C. How to build a positive self-image D. How to develop your good qualities 5. Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A. parents B. Adolescents C. educators D. people in general Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” helps you create this life of good feelings. Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quite sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to
happen. Immediately, the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier experience. And it is easy to think and act honorably again when we are happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind which is important for our happiness.
6. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ___________. A. self-respect B. financial rewards C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship 7. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to _____. A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising 8. The phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention” means_______. A. telling the truth to the clerk B. offering advice to the clerk
C. asking the clerk to be more attentive D. reminding the clerk of the charged item 9. How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake? A. We’ll be very excited B. We’ll feel unfortunate
C. We’ll have a sense of humor D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk 10. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. How to live truthfully B. Importance of peacefulness C. Ways of gaining self-respect D. Happiness through honorable Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
Sesame Street has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America’s exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.
In the United States more than 6 million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half of the nation’s pre-school children. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.
The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching “Sesame Street”. Those who watch five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers. In the United States the program is shown at different times during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private
businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch “Sesame Street” along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on “Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.
11. Why has Sesame Street been called “the longest street in the world”? A. the program has been shown ever since 1969.
B. the program became one of America’s major exports soon after it appeared on TV C. the program is now being watched in most parts of the world. D. the program is made in the longest street in New York.
12. Some educators are critical of the program because________. A. they don’t think it fit for children in every respect B. it takes the children too much time to watch it
