But some important differences between television and other forms of literature need mentioning before we begin.In the first place, since the literature of television is transmitted simultaneously to millions of people, its creators are subject to limitations of theme, language, and style. In general, the wider the base of the audience, the greater the degree of restriction imposed on the creator, and no contemporary literary form has a more massive audience than television.In the second place, the line that separates commercial interests from literary interests in television is less distinct than in most other literary forms. To be sure, the publisher of novels and the producer of stage plays are concerned with making money. But in television the advertiser, the man who pays the bill, is primarily concerned with the sale of a commercial product rather than an artistic one. At the same time, selling products and presenting high quality programs are not necessarily incompatible motives. There are, in fact, numerous examples of sponsors who have done both simultaneously.We must remember, too, that the literature of television, unlike most types of literature, is highly ephemeral （短暫的） in character. At the moment, the libraries of television are its "reruns", but even so, a particular show must be seen at a specific time or it cannot be seen at all. As a result, studying or teaching about television presents certain problems not found in the study of other types of literature, except the legitimate stage.1. Since the literature of television is sent out to millions of people at the same time, its creators are likely to have the following limitations EXCEPT （ ）.　　A. subject　　B. choice of wordsC. the place where they transmit television programD. expression by means of words2. According to the author the creators of television have the greatest degree of restriction in theme, language, and style, this is because （ ）.A. television has a large number of audiencesB. television can only last a short period of timeC. television combines commercial interests and literary interestsD. both A and B3. The sentence "selling products and presenting high quality programs are not necessarily incompatible motives" could be paraphrased as （ ）.A. the purposes of selling products and presenting high quality programs can be realized at the same timeB. the motives of selling products and presenting high quality programs can not be matchedC. selling products overweighs presenting high quality programsD. presenting high quality programs overweighs selling products4.Which of the following most correctly summarizes the main idea of the passage? （ ）A. The limitations and resources of television.B. The differences between television and other forms of literature.C. Television has a more massive audience than other literary forms.D. Television has a very short life.5.This passage has probably been taken from a （ ）.A. newspaper adB. magazineC. public speechD. book此題型是對學生閱讀理解能力的綜合考查，通過給定語篇的閱讀，考查學生理解文章的主題大意、作者意圖、結構思路，推理綜合以及個別詞義闡釋的能力。四、翻譯（英文翻譯成中文）（Put the following sentences into Chinese.） We concede that the matron is morally justified in being preoccupied with her personal appearance.我們承認，主婦們專注于個人外表是合情合理的。此題型考查學生對文章內容的準備把握，以及通過融會貫通后的語言表述。五、回答問題（Read the following passage and answer the questions following the passage in English.） Before you start to read, you guess what the author is going to tell you. One of the real pleasures we get from reading mystery stories is guessing who did it and how the criminal was caught.Guessing is just as important, however, in reading a newspaper, magazine, or required reading in textbooks. When you guess, you alert your mind to a challenge. You look at the title or chapter heading or any other clues such as pictures or graphs, and you guess what the material will tell you. Then you are involved. The thought game has started. You may not be right and win the mental challenge, and that is good. It is good because when you lose this mental game and are wrong, your ability to understand and remember what the author said will be greatly increased.It sounds like we are saying, "It is all right to be wrong," and that is exactly what we are saying in connection with guessing. We learn and remember more from our mistakes than from things we get right.1. Why does the author say that guessing is a real pleasure?2. What information in the reading material will be helpful for people to guess what the book is going to tell?3. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?此題型主要考查學生綜合閱讀能力，尤其是對閱讀篇章的理解以及對其中基本內容信息的把握和表述。六、簡述題（The following statement is quoted from the text. Write a short paragraph in no less than 100 words about your understanding of it.） When immigrants in a great number settled in a country, they would influence that country in no small way. （Unit 1, Text A）此題型主要考查學生對所學課文內涵的理解，可以各抒己見。
