I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United Sates be forbidden by law.
Let us take a 36 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a 37 were accepted: families might use the time for a real family hour. They might 38 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 39 --everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 40 illness --are caused at least in part by 41 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 42 our problems, we might get to know each better.
On evening when such talk is 43 , families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 44 together to watch the sunset 45 they might take a walk together. 46 free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in 47 than in a TV program. 48 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 49 at the college level. 50 is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different 51 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 52 ends, the TV networks might be forced to 53 with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的). How will we spend the time then? The fact is; it has been only twenty-five years 54 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 55 childhoods without television. It wasn’t that difficult. 36．A．valuable B．pleasant C．quick D．serious 37．A．advice B．suggestion C．opinion D．opinion 38．A．get around B．stand still C．meet D．sit around 39．A．problems B．trouble C．affairs D．misfortune 40．A．physical B．common C．mental D．familiar 41．A．attempt B．failure C．ability D．permission 42．A．discuss B．talk C. make sure D．see to 43．A．impossible B．unnecessary C．funny D．unpleasant 44．A．walk B．look C．ride D．rest 45．A．and B．or C．but D．while 46．A．At B．In C．For D．With

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡 上将该项涂黑。
A
Farmers could grow more rice and shaky Internet communications could work better some day, thanks to prize-winning discoveries by teen-age scientists showed at a national science far on Monday.
High-school scientists from across the United States showed off work in genetics, molecular biology, mathematics and other fields that judges said rose to the professional level.
―It just blows me away. They’re all just unimaginable,‖ said Joel Spencer, a New York University professor who served as a judge at the Siemens Westinghouse Competition in Math, Science and Technology.
Research done by finalists in the nationwide competition could lead to faster Internet speeds, more effective antibacterial drugs and better energy conservation. One team researched black holes in outer space, while another examined more than 700 fossils to better understand why dinosaurs died out.
Juliet Girard and Roshan Prabhu won a $100,000 scholarship for their work proving genes that help some strains of wild rice flower earlier than others.
Drawing on a database that described the genetic makeup of rice, the two students, from Jersey City, New Jersey, identified two genetic segments(sections) that directed wild rice to blossom an average of 10 days earlier than the ordinary short-grain rice that feeds much of the world.
Their discovery could allow genetic engineers to develop a new strain that would take less time to reach maturity, allowing farmers to produce more and extending the growing region into colder climates.
Steven Byrnes of Lexington, Massachusetts, took the top individual prize for his theory describing outcomes in a two-player game called Chomp.
Several said they planned to publish their findings in famous professional magazines.
56. What made the university professors surprised was that _________. A. high school students did very well in many fields
B. what the high school students did was beyond the imagination of scientists
C. the work of the high school students was of high quality and reached the professional level D. high school students have found out why dinosaurs died out 57. Which of the following is true?
A. Two students discovered the way of growing more rice and growing rice in colder climates. B. What the two students discovered about the genetic makeup of rice may lead to an important development in agriculture.
C. Steven Byrnes took the top prize at the national science fair on Monday.
D. Several students planned to write more articles in some professional journals. 58. What is this report mainly about?
A. Farmers can grow more rice and shaky Internet communications can work better after the competitions are held.
B. Some high school students have become professional scientists.
C. High school students can make great contributions to the world in many fields just like adult scientists.
D.A national science fair made scientists greatly surprised.
