1、 1 银行英语银行英语阅读理解汇总阅读理解汇总 Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. There are good reasons to be troubled by the violence that spreads throughout the media. Movies. Television and video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably ask whats wrong with a society that p
2、resents videos of domestic violence as entertainment. Most researchers agree that the causes of real-world violence are complex. A 1993 study by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences listed biological, individual, family, peer, school, and community factors as all playing their parts. Viewing abnorm
3、ally large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute to violent behavior in certain individuals. The trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate the case for causality (因果关系). Skeptics were dismayed several years ago when a group of soc
4、ieties including the American Medical Association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement: “At this time, well over 1,000 studies point overwhelmingly to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive behavior in some children. Freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societie
5、s of catering to politicians, and even disputed the number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). When Jonathan Freedman, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto, reviewed the literature, he found only 200 or so studies of television-watching and aggression. And whe
6、n he weeded out the most doubtful measures of aggression, only 28% supported a connection. The critical point here is causality. The alarmists say they have proved that violent media cause aggression. But the assumptions behind their observations need to be examined. When labeling games as violent o
7、r non-violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a violent event? And when experimenters record the time it takes game players to read aggressive or non-aggressive words from a list, can we be sure what they are actually measuring? The intent of the new Harvard Center on Media and Ch
8、ild Health to collect and standardize studies of media violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions is an important step in the right direction. Another appropriate ster would be to tone down the criticism until we know more. Several researchers write, speak and test
9、ify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media. That is, of course, their privilege. But when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter has now been settled, drawing criticism from colleagues. In response, the alarmists accuse critics and news reporters of being dec
10、eived by the entertainment industry. Such clashes help neither science nor society. 21. Why is there so much violence shown in movies, TV and video games? A) There is a lot of violence in the real world today. B) Something has gone wrong with todays society. C) Many people are fond of gunplay and bl
11、oodshed. D) Showing violence is thought to be entertaining. 22. What is the skeptics (Line 3. Para.3) view of media violence? A) Violence on television is a fairly accurate reflection of real-world life. B) Most studies exaggerate the effect of media violence on the viewers. C) A causal relationship
12、 exists between media and real-world violence. D) The influence of media violence on children has been underestimated. 23. The author uses the term alarmists (Line 1. Para.5) to refer to those who _. A) use standardized measurements in the studies of media violence B) initiated the debate over the i
13、nfluence of violent media on reality 2 C) assert a direct link between violent media and aggressive behavior D) use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior 24. In refuting the alarmists, the author advances his argument by first challenging_. A) the source and amount of their data B
14、) the targets of their observation C) their system of measurement D) their definition of violence 25. What does the author think of the debate concerning the relationship between the media and violence? A) More studies should be conducted before conclusions are drawn. B) It should come to an end sin
15、ce the matter has now been settled. C) The past studies in this field have proved to be misleading. D) He more than agrees with the views held by the alarmists. Passage Two Youre in trouble if you have to buy your own brand-name prescription drugs. Over the past decade, prices leaped by more than do
16、uble the inflation rate. Treatments for chronic conditions can easily top 2,000 a month-no wonder that one in four Americans cans afford to fill their prescriptions. The solution? A hearty chorus of O Canada. North of the border, where price controls reign, those same brand-name drugs cost 50% to 80
17、% less. The Canadian option is fast becoming a political wake-up call, “If our neighbors can buy drugs at reasonable prices, why cant we? Even to whisper that thought provokes anger. “Un-American!” And-the propagandists trump card (王牌)“Wreck our brilliant health-care system. Super-size drug prices,
18、they claim, fund the research that sparks the next generation of wonder drugs. No sky-high drug price today, no cure for cancer tomorrow. So shut up and pay up. Common sense tells you thats a false alternative. The reward for finding. Say, a cancer cure is so huge that no ones going to hang it up. N
19、evertheless, if Canada-level pricing came to the United States, the industrys profit margins would drop and the pace of new-drug development would slow. Here lies the American dilemma. Who is all this splendid medicine for? Should our health-care system continue its drive toward the best of the best
20、, even though rising numbers of patients cant afford it? Or should we direct our wealth toward letting everyone in on todays level of care? Measured by saved lives, the latter is almost certainly the better course. To defend their profits, the drug companies have warned Canadian wholesalers and phar
21、macies(药房) not to sell to Americans by mail, and are cutting back supplies to those who dare. Meanwhile, the administration is playing the fear card. Officials from the Food and Drug Administration will argue that Canadian drugs might be fake, mishandled, or even a potential threat to life. Do bad d
22、rugs fly around the Internet? Sure-and the more we look, the more well find, But I havent heard of any raging epidemics among the hundreds of thousands of people buying cross-border. Most users of prescription drugs dons worry about costs a lot. Theyre sheltered by employee insurance, owing just a $
23、20 co-pay. The financial blows rain, instead, on the uninsured, especially the chronically ill who need expensive drugs to live, This group will still include middle-income seniors on Medicare, wholl have to dig deeply into their pockets before getting much from the new drug benefit that starts in 2
24、006. 26. What is said about the consequence of the rocketing drug prices in the U.S.? A) A quarter of Americans cant afford their prescription drugs.
