四、阅读理解(词数：约180；建议用时：6分钟）
My
mother
was
telling
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
me
about
how
she
and
her
family
got
their
first
television
when
she
was
a
teenager.
Of
course
it
was
black
and
white.
She
said
she
only
watched
it
at
night.
She
doesn't
remember
ever
watching
it
in
the
morning
or
afternoon.
Here's
what
she
said.
When
I
was
young
we
h
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad
only
about
3
or
4
different
channels.
My
brothers，
my
sisters
and
I
would
sometimes
fight
about
which
channel
to
watch.
But
we
usually
enjoyed
the
same
shows.
Nowadays
we
c
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an
get
hundreds
of
channels
on
TV.
I
can't
believe
it！
There
are
channels
for
old
movies，
cooking，
fishing
and
so
on.
It's
amazing！
There
is
a
channel
for
everything.
I
wonder
how
much
my
brothers，
my
sisters
and
I
would
fight
if
we
had
hundreds
of
channels
when
I
was
a
child.
Of
course
we
had
only
one
television
set.
These
days
I
notice
families
with
2
or
3
or
more
television
sets
in
their
homes.
I
guess
it
stops
people
from
arguing
over
which
channel
to
choose.
16.In
those
days，
what
kind
of
television
sets
did
people
only
have？
A.Black
and
white
ones.
B.Colour
ones.
C.All
kinds
of
television
sets.
D.Not
many
kinds
of
television
sets.
17.My
mother
watched
TV________when
she
was
young.
A.in
the
morning
B.in
the
afternoon
C.at
night
D.on
weekends
18.Nowadays，
how
many
channels
can
we
get
on
TV？
A.3
or
4
different
channels.
B.Only
one
channel.
C.Hundreds
of
channels.
D.30
or
40
different
channels.
19.When
my
mother
was
a
teenager，
she
and
her
brothers
and
sisters
usually
enjoyed________.
A.four
shows
B.the
same
shows
C.different
shows
D.3
or
4
shows
20.Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
true？
A.Some
families
have
2
or
3
or
more
television
sets
now.
B.These
days，
there
is
only
one
channel
for
old
movies，
cooking
and
fishing.
C.People
have
many
channels
to
choose
from
now.
D.My
mother
and
her
brothers
and
sisters
would
sometimes
fight
about
which
channel
to
watch
when
she
was
a
child.

As

(26)________(在……旁边)a

course
they

Ⅵ.阅读理解。
Hundreds
of
years
ago,
life
was
much
harder
than
it
is
today.
People
didn't
have
modern
machines.
There
was
no
modern
medicine,
either.
Life
today
has
brought
new
problems.
One
of
the
biggest
is
pollution.
Water
pollution
has
made
our
rivers
and
lakes
dirty.
It
kills
our
fish
and
pollutes
our
drinking
water.
Noise
pollution
makes
us
talk
louder
and
become
angry
more
easily.
Air
pollution
is
the
most
serious
kind
of
pollution.
It's
bad
to
all
living
things
in
the
world.
Cars,
planes
and
factories
all
pollute
our
air
every
day.
Sometimes
the
polluted
air
is
so
thick
that
it
is
like
a
quilt
over
a
city.
This
kind
of
quilt
is
called
smog(烟雾)．
Many
countries
are
making
rules
to
fight
pollution.
Factories
must
now
clean
their
water
before
it
is
thrown
away,
and
they
mustn't
blow
dirty
smoke
into
the
air.
We
need
to
do
many
other
things.
We
can
put
waste
things
in
the
dustbin
and
do
not
throw
it
on
the
ground.
We
can
go
to
work
by
bus
or
with
our
friends
in
the
same
car.
If
there
are
fewer
people
driving,
there
will
be
less
pollution.
Rules
are
not
enough.
Every
person
must
help
to
fight
against
pollution.
36．Hundreds
of
years

was
no
modern
medicine
C．both

and

problem
in

few
years
ago,

was
no
smog
at
all

don't
have
to
talk
to
each
other
in
a
loud
voice

can
drink
water
from
