INFLUENCES OF TELEVISION
Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.
Television, although not essential, has become a(n) (26) _____ part of most people’s lives. It has become a baby-sitter, an initiator of conversations, a major transmitter of culture, and a keeper of traditions. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer. The poor quality of programs does not elevate people into greater (27) ______.
The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship, which the advertisers had with radio programs, became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, coming from the capitalistic, profit-oriented sector of American society, television is primarily (28) _______ with reflecting and attracting society rather than innovating and experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible; to do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than challenging.
Television in America today remains, to a large (29) _______, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for some evolution and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the (30) _______ system.
Question 26. A. integral B. mixed C. fractional D. superior Question 27. A. preconception B. knowledge
C. understanding D. feeling
Question 28. A. concerned B. interested C. worried D. connected Question 29. A. extent B. degree C. size D. amount Question 30. A. total B. full C. entire D. complete
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and did not allow the colonies to make their own coins, except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from other countries. The result during this pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money. The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.
During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so each of the individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much of this paper money was printed that by the end of the war, almost no one would accept it. As a result, trade in goods and the use of foreign coins still flourished during this period.
By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the monetary system was in a state of total disarray. To remedy this situation, the new Constitution of the United States, approved in 1789, allowed Congress to issue money. The individual states could no longer have their own money supply. A few years later, the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the official currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic standard. In this bimetallic system, both gold and silver were legal money, and the rate of exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one.
Question 31. The passage mainly discusses
A. American money from past to present.
B. the English monetary policies in colonial America.
C. the effect of the Revolution on American money.
D. the American monetary system of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Question 32. The passage indicates that during the colonial period, money was A. supplied by England. B. coined by colonists.
C. scarce. D. used extensively for trade.
Question 33. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was allowed to make coins A. continuously from the inception of the colonies.
B. throughout the seventeenth century.
C. from 1652 until the Revolutionary War.
D. for a short time during one year.
Question 34. The pronoun “it” in paragraph 2 refers to which of the following A. the Continental Congress B. Paper money
C. the War D. Trade in goods
Question 35. The word “remedy” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. resolve B. Understand C. renew D. medicate
Question 36. How was the monetary system arranged in the Constitution?
A. Only the US Congress could issue money.
B. The US officially went on a bimetallic monetary system.
C. Various state governments, including Massachusetts, could issue money.
D. The dollar was made official currency of the US.
Question 37. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the bimetallic monetary system?
A. Either gold or silver could be used as official money.
B. Gold could be exchanged for silver at the rate of sixteen to one.
C. The monetary system was based on two matters.
D. It was established in 1792
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, that provides information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best- known surveys are the Gallup and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
North American are familiar with many “person on the street” interviews on local television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of
commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the news people select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions. An effect survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. I must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interview can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject’s underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.
Question 38. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The history of surveys in North America B. The principles of conducting surveys
C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys D. The importance of polls in American political life Question 39. The word “they” in line 7 refers to
A. North Americans B. news shows C. interviews D. opinions
Question 40. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of the person-on-the-street interviews is that they
A. are not based on a representative sampling B. are used only on television
C. are not carefully worked D. reflect political opinions
Question 41. The word “precise” in line 10 is closest in meaning to
A. planned B. rational C. required D. accurate
Question 42. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?
A. a high number of respondents B. Carefully worded questions
C. An interviewer’s ability to measure respondents’ feelings D. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results
Question 43. The word “exercise” in line 13 is closest in meaning to
A. utilize B. consider C. design D. defend
Question 44. It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become frustrated with questionnaire is that
A. respondents often do not complete and return questionnaires B. questionnaires are often difficult to read
C. questionnaires are expensive and difficult to distribute
D. respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions
Question 45. According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is that live interviews
A. cost less B. can produce more information
C. are easier to interpret D. minimize the influence of the researcher
