5、tain. Why so? In ancienttimes, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke differentlanguages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it hasthe most people. So the Englishpeople take

6、it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island. Theres another thing that confuses people:sometimes you may hear people say the United Kingdom of Great BritainandNorthern Ireland.

You might think there wouldbe more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but thats not the case. In most countries, fewer than20%of broadca

34、sting hours are devoted to entertainment. U. S. figures are high 34. 8%, and the fun-lovingCanadians are even higher with 44%. ExceptCanada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information (news,documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course

35、, few educationalbroadcaststake place during peak viewing times. In Japan though, more than 60%of broadcasting time is taken up with educationof one kind or another just another example of the businesslike Japanesephilosophy. In the U. K., the figure is 56. 4%. The Italians have fewer educational pr

36、ograms than anyone else. Theydont go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows,music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else. Thatsunderstandable in a country experiencing socia

37、l and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them whats goingonand events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U.

38、n around the world.(分數(shù)：10.00 )(1)_ .Based on this passage, the percentage of TV broadcasting hours devoted to education is greatest in.(分數(shù)：2.00 )A. JapanVB. ItalyC. CanadaD. the United States解析：解析：該題的意思是：根據(jù)這篇文章，電視播放教育節(jié)目最多的是哪一個國家？文章提供了以下的數(shù)字和有關(guān)信息，Japan :教育節(jié)目超過 60%; Italy :教育節(jié)目比其他國家少；Canada：娛樂節(jié)目占 44%,可

39、斷定教育節(jié)目要低于日本；the United States :娛樂節(jié)目占 34 .8 %，再加上其他節(jié)目 可以推算教育 節(jié)目不會超過日本。通過分析和推理可判斷A 項是正確的。(2) .More news information programs are broadcast on Italian TV than anywhere else because theItalians_ .(分數(shù)：2.00 )A. are interested in what is happening in the worldB. like to undergo social and political changes

40、C. prefer to learn news information on TV rather than in newspapersD. expect TV to tell them the latest news about what is going on in their countryV解析：解析：該題的題意是：意大利在電視上播放的新聞節(jié)目比其他國家多的原因是什么？通過文章提供的信息可得知：意大利是一個正處于社會政治變更的國家，人們希望通過電視得到有關(guān)他們國家正在發(fā)生的 最新消息。所以應(yīng)該選擇D 選項。(3) .So far as the broadcasting hours dev

41、oted to entertainment are concerned_.(分數(shù)： 2.00 )A. the Japanese figure is the highest in the worldB. the U. S. figure is smaller than the U. K. figureC. the U.

42、個是正確的。運用排除法可 把 A、B、C三項排除，因為這三項所給出的信息和文章的信息有明顯的錯誤，剩下D 項就是正確選項。也可以運用直接法選擇 D 項，文章所提供的信息中，只有加拿大播放娛樂節(jié)目的時間最多。(4) .From this passage, we learn that most TV stations in the world devoted more broadcasting hoursto_ .(分數(shù)：2.00 )A. educational programsVB. entertainment programsC. news information programsD. dra

43、mas, serials, music, sports and so on解析：解析：該題的題意是：通過本篇文章，我們知道全世界大部分電視臺播放哪個節(jié)目的時間較多。這 種題型費時并且有一定難度，就本題而言，考生做題時一定要條理化，就是把電視節(jié)目條理化：教育節(jié)目、娛樂節(jié)目、新聞節(jié)目等。通過閱讀可知道：大部分國家播放娛樂節(jié)目的時間不到20%，除加拿大、意大利之外，所有國家播放教育節(jié)目的時間都超過了播放新聞節(jié)目和娛樂節(jié)目等。所以應(yīng)選擇A 項 educationalprograms 為正確答案。(5) .In the United States,_ .(分數(shù)：2.00 )A. TV programs

44、are shown for world audience to watchB. most of TV broadcasting hours are given to entertainmentC. educational programs are shown during peak viewing timesD. TV broadcasting hours devoted to education are more than those devoted to entertainmentV解析：解析：文章中的最后一段倒數(shù)第二句：“After education ，most TVtime is g

45、iven to entertainment .是本題的岀處，其意思是：“排在教育節(jié)目之后的是娛樂節(jié)目”。這句話也就是D 選項的內(nèi)容：TVbroadcasting hours devoted to education are more than those devoted to entrainment。所以 D 項是正確答案。It was a case of emergency.
