（2022·江苏·南通市通州区金北学校模拟预测）Me: Hello, Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms. Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It’s a pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans-galactic visitor to Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol?

Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms.”

Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far?

Bertha: It’s not the worst planet I’ve ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The aliens— oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I’m staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They’re not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They’re so rude.

Me: Oh um. . . wow. That’s just. . .

Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planets. And they all adored (崇拜) me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain (款待) me.

Me: Well what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it’s possible that this family just wants you to pitch in a little, to be a good guest?

Bertha: It’s odd to me that you’re not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you’d agree with me. That’s another thing. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth. Earth is below me.

Me: You know what. Bertha? I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on Earth. You’re just a boastful (自夸的), spoiled alien.

（2022·江苏宿迁·九年级专题练习）

While most TV stations and video—streaming platforms try to attract people by producing reality shows with many popular stars, Henan TV has become popular by producing seven dance pieces highlighting traditional culture, such as Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess, a two—minute underwater dance.

Yao Wei, director of the TV station’s Innovation Center, was invited to talk about how the TV station had produced the hit dance pieces at the three—day forum centering on the research of Chinese dance last month. “The seven dance pieces have got nearly 30 billion hits on social media platforms. That’s a huge success for Henan TV,” said Yao.

The pieces made an emotional effect on people, most of whom are members of Gen Z (people born between 1995 and 2009), Yao said.“Young people have grown up with a more open mindset and they accept Chinese culture willingly and are proud of it,” he added. “What we need to do is present Chinese culture in more interesting ways.”

Yao pointed out that they are also changing their shows to attract younger people. One of the keys is to produce content with strong visual creativity, such as the latest technology and stage settings, like underwater scenes, which have become the new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture. Another key to successfully reaching younger people is using social media platforms to move up the shows.

“Social media is being shaped and driven by young people. It’s a powerful form of communication. When they take a quick scroll through their phones, they easily become interested in an eye—catching video.” Yao said.

A．young people pay too much attention on the use of social media B．social media should take place of traditional ways of communication

C．young people help spread the Chinese culture with the help of social media D．communication plays an important part in the wide spread of eye—catching videos

（2020·江苏·宜兴市万石中学九年级阶段练习）TV was one of the greatest inventions in the 20th century. Nowadays, nearly every household has at least one TV set.  

Television came into being(出现)based on the inventions and discoveries of many scientists. On April 7, 1927, the first public television programme was broadcast in the USA．The signals(信号) were received on a very small screen. It was only about the size of a business card. The pictures were reddish(微红色的) and not clear.

In the 1930s, bigger screens appeared with black-and-white pictures. However, a snowy picture was the best many TV viewers(观众) could hope for. Often, they could only get one station, and only when the weather conditions were good.

When World War Ⅱ(1939—1945) began, the development of TV stopped. There were a very small number of TV sets in the hands of the public. By 1945, there were fewer than 7,000 working TV sets in the USA．A TV set cost about half the price of a car at that time.

The time after World War Ⅱ is considered one of the golden periods of television. Families saved money during the war years, and wanted to buy a lot of things after the war. TV sets were soon put onto the ‘must-have’ list. 1950—1959 was an exciting period for television. Colour television and remote controls came out during this time. By 1955, the cost of TV sets came down a lot. Instead of being equal to half the price of a car, they were now just equal to the cost of a new set of tyres(轮胎). This marked the beginning of the booming age of TV.

15．Which is NOT true about the first public television programme?

A．It was broadcast in the UK. B．It was broadcast in 1927.

C．The pictures were not clear. D．It was shown on a small screen.

16．What does the word “booming” mean?

A．soon B．slow C．busy D．fast

17．What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．The birth of television. B．The development of television.

C．How to invent television. D．The price of television.

（2022·江苏·南京外国语学校仙林分校七年级阶段练习）Many Americans love sports. This does not really mean that they get any exercise. What they do is to watch national teams on TV. They watch baseball, football, basketball, hockey, golf and tennis which means that for most of the weekends they sit in front of the TV. Sometimes, their friends watch with them.

Baseball is the great American sport and every team has fans. Almost every big city has a team, and as each team plays 162 games a year, following baseball can take up a lot of time. The playing season begins in spring and finishes in the fall World Series(世界职业棒球赛), when two leading teams play against each other. The first to win four games wins the Series. Although called World Series, it has only one other country to take part in —Canada.

Football played in autumn and winter is also popular. It is not at all like the game called soccer. There isn’t much kicking in American football, which has more to do with running with the ball and knocking people down. Each team only plays 16 games during the season, and these take place on Sundays and Monday evenings. Half the country watches the final game on a Sunday, in January.

When there are no good games on TV, Americans watch college sports. Many colleges feel that if they want their former(以前) students to give money to their old schools, they need a winning football team. To our surprise, this seems to be true.

18．When do most Americans and their friends usually watch games on TV?

A．On Sundays. B．On a Sunday, in January. C．On most weekend. D．On Monday evenings.

19．How many countries are there in the World Series?
