Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies． Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public,and then they have sold audiences to advertisers．
An attraction of sport programs for the major U．S． media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday aftemoons-the slowest time periods of the week for general television wewing． Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week． This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally woulcl be dead time for programming．
Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising clollars elsewhere if television stations dicl not report certain sports． The people in the advert,ising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers． They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers,cars and life insurance．
Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming． These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low． However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers．lt is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States,including many lawyers and business managers． This is why television reporting of goK and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers,and holiday trips．This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings． Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers． With such viewers, these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air．

We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began． But we retumed the next day and saw the s,ame two movies again, twice more．And we did it the next day too． Finajly, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke．
Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962． They're really memories of the screen, not memories of my life．

【题干】 [1] Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers．The result is overcrowding on the road system,which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with．
[2] When people travel to other towns,the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town．Buses could be provided to take them into the centre．These Park ancl Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK．At Southerton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months．
[3] What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre．Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade．As the number of people driving past dropped,so did their incomes．
[4] Making car driving expensive is another way of_______________________．Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less． Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind．
[5] However,one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed． If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an altemative they can rely on． Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport．People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time．
1．What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph l (no more than 12 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
2．What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects (no more than 14 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
3．Why were some shop owriers unhappy about the project (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
4．Fi11 in the blank in Paragraph 4．(no more than 8 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
5．Why are people unwilling to use public transport according to Paragraph 5 (no more than 8 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】1．The reduced/lowered cost of a new car and better road conditions．
2．They should park outside the town,and take the bus to the centre．
3．Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past．
4．encouraging people to use public transport more/encouraging people to use their cars less/relieving the problem (of overcrowding)
5.Because public transport is not reliabletisfactory．
【解析】1．根据第一段第一句话中的the cost of a new car has fallen及and better road conditions可知答案。
2．根据第二段的描述：…by getting them to park outside the town．Buses could be provided to take them into the centre．可知答案。
3．根据第三段的最后一句话可知开车路过的司机少了，于是这些路边店主的收入就下降了。这样他们就不高兴了。
4．注意空格前是介词of，后跟v．-ing形式作宾 语。后面提出提高开车上路的税收和对乱停放车辆司机的处罚，这些都是鼓励人们少开私家车而改为乘坐公交车以便缓解交通拥挤。
5．最后一段列举了公共交通的几个缺点和劣势，人们认为只有公共交通真的准时了，公共交通才会成为人们出行的选择。所以人们觉得公共交通不可靠。

Some of us think that it is better to watch a film than to read a book in the original． There are some reasons for it． Above all, when you watch an interesting film, you will be wild with joy, because you can understand it very well, The people on the screen can attract you with wonderful performances． Besides, if you are a busy person, it can help you save time． What's more, it is comfortable to watch a film than to read a book in the original．

Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies． Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public,and then they have sold audiences to advertisers．
An attraction of sport programs for the major U．S． media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday aftemoons-the slowest time periods of the week for general television wewing． Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week． This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally woulcl be dead time for programming．
Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising clollars elsewhere if television stations dicl not report certain sports． The people in the advert,ising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers． They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers,cars and life insurance．
Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming． These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low． However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers．lt is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States,including many lawyers and business managers． This is why television reporting of goK and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers,and holiday trips．This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings． Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers． With such viewers, these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air．

We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began． But we retumed the next day and saw the s,ame two movies again, twice more．And we did it the next day too． Finajly, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke．
Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962． They're really memories of the screen, not memories of my life．

[2] When people travel to other towns,the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town．Buses could be provided to take them into the centre．These Park ancl Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK．At Southerton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months．
