31、根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题

It was not exactly a perfect night in Washington for Fourth of July fireworks this year, when fog and rain blanketed the sky and made the Independence Day show from the National Mall less impressive than usual to those who had staked out a spot nearby.

But if you had tuned in on Monday to watch the fireworks on PBS or watched it on your cell phone, you might have figured the sky was cloudless and the fireworks were crystal clear. You might also have wondered if someone had removed the scaffolding that has been on the Capitol dome for two years.

But many eagle-eyed viewers suspected something was not quite right, and PBS later admitted as much: It had spliced in firework footage from previous years with live shots.

The show did not inform viewers that they were watching a highlight reel of past colorful explosions. But  "Seinfeld" reruns are one thing; fireworks reruns are quite another. And angry viewers vented.

"Because this year´ s fireworks were difficult to see due to the weather, we made the decision to intercut fireworks footage from previous A Capitol Fourth concerts for the best possible television viewing experience," the show´s organizers said Tuesday in a statement.  "We apologize for any confusion this may have caused."
One Twitter user said it "could have been announced at the time", while another called it "a deceptive thing to do." A PBS Twitter account cast the decision as "the patriotic thing to do," but viewers were not convinced.

36、根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题

For most of recorded human history, marriage was an arrangement designed to maximize financial stability. Elizabeth Abbott, the author of A History of Marriage, explains that in ancient times, marriage was intended to unite various parts of a community, establishing beneficial economic relationships.

"Because it was a financial arrangement, it was thought of and operated as such. It was a contract between families. For example, let´ s say I am a printer and you make paper, we might want a marriage between our children because that will improve our businesses." Even the honeymoon,often called the "bridal tour", was a communal affair, with parents, brothers and sisters, and other close relatives traveling together to reinforce their new familial relationships.

By the Middle Ages, gender inequality was not only honored in social customs, but also common law. In most European countries, married women were forced to give up control over any personal wealth and property rights to their husbands. Eventually, the system became known as "coverture", whereby married couples became a single legal entity in which the husband had all power.

By the 19th century, the conflict between love and money had come to a head. As the Western world advanced towards a more modem, industrialized society built on wage labor, emotional bonds became more private, focused more on immediate family and friends than. communal celebrations.Simultaneously, mass media helped make sentimental inclinations a larger part of popular culture, with the flourishing of holidays like Valentine´ s Day and various hobbies.

Culturally speaking, love was in the air, and the union of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1840 only served to seal the deal. Though Victoria and Albert´s marriage was sanctioned by their royal families, it was also hailed as a true  "love match", strengthening the new ideal of romantic partnership. Their wedding also coincided with the surge of early print media, making the event visible to readers all across Europe and North America.

Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer´s background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook.

Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people´s impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person´s education, background, or interests.

People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits, including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink_ Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.

In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine" and "feminine" attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available for men.

Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less  "feminine" grooming--shorter hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won´t get a job."

{TS}The clothes a person wears may convey all of the following information EXCEPT ___________.

A、the wearer' s temperament

B、the wearer' s social status

C、the wearer' s home address

D、the wearer' s mood

42、The underlined word "manipulate" in the second paragraph can best be replaced by" ___________ "

A、influence

B、manage

C、mobilize

D、handle

43、We can learn from the third paragraph that ___________.

A、every girl knows how to choose their own unique style of clothes

B、newscasters who are dressed conservatively tend to be irresolute

C、announcers who read the news on TV should wear certain outfits to gain confidence

D、the clothing a college student wore can affect the way he/she behaves

44、In the workplace, women ___________.

A、should display less "masculine" grooming in order to get success in their career

B、don' t have a well-defined dress code

C、are submitting to an impossible standard of beauty and success

D、should enhance their posture by daily wearing make-up

45、根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题

They may have lived some 1,700 years ago, but the ancient Maya had an incredible knowledge of celestial bodies, which they believed influenced everything.

Now a 15-year-old boy has studied astronomical charts devised by these ancient Mexican people, as well as satellite photos, to pinpoint the location of a forgotten Mayan city. William Gadoury, from Quebec has named the "lost city" in the Yucatan jungle K´aak Chi, or Mouth of Fire.
Satellite images suggest the lost city could be among the largest built by the ancient civilization, which thrived between 300 and 700 AD.

Wondering why the ancient people built their cities far away from rivers and in inhospitable mountains prompted the teenager to look to the sky for answers. Incredibly, the brightest of the stars matched the largest cities.

"I was really surprised and excited when I realised that the most brilliant stars of the constellations matched the largest Maya cities." He told The Journal of Montreal.

He is said to be the first to make the connection, which could lead to further finds.

It was in the 23rd constellation, containing three stars, that he found two matching cities on the map, suggesting one has not yet been re-discovered.

To investigate further, he used satellite images from the Canadian Space Agency and Google Earth to search the dense jungle for any signs of buildings.

The photographs revealed linear features that "stuck out," Daniel De Lisle, from the Canadian Space Agency told The Independent.
"There are linear features that would suggest there is something underneath that big canopy," he said. Armand La Rocque, from the University of New Brunswick believes one of the images shows network of streets leading to a large square, which may be a pyramid.  "A square is not natural, it is mostly artificial and can hardly be attributed to natural phenomena," he said.

It´s possible 30 buildings accompany an impressive pyramid at the site. If true, the lost city would be one of the five largest known to archaeologists, built by the Mayans.

Linking the position of stars and the location of a lost city and the use of satellite images on a tiny territory to identify the remains buried under dense vegetation, is quite exceptional.

Dr. La Rocque thinks William Gadoury´s technique could lead archaeologists to pinpointing the location of more possible lost Mayan metropolises.

A、Dogmatic.

B、Persuasive.

47、How does William Gadoury find the Maya city?

A、He studied the satellite photos.

B、He studied astronomical charts devised by these ancient Mexican people.

C、He found two matching cities on the map, suggesting one had not yet been re-discovered.

D、Both A and B.

48、Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Maya?

A、The ancient Maya were interested in celestial bodies.

B、All Mayan cities were built far away from rivers.
