13.If Europeans thought a drought was something that happened .only in Africa, they know better now. After four years of below-normal rainfall ( in some cases only 10 percent of the annual aver age), vast areas of France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Britain and Ireland are dry and barren. Water is so low in the canals of northern France that waterway traffic is forbidden except on weekends. Oyster(牡蛎) growers in Brittany report a 30 Percent drop in production because of the loss of fresh water in local rivers necessary for oyster breeding. In southeastern England, the rolling hills of Kent have turned so brown that officials have been weighing plans to pipe in water from Wales. In Portugal, farmers in the southern Alentejo region have held prayer meetings for rain--so far, in vain.
  Governments in drought-plagued countries are taking drastic measures. Authorities in hard-hit areas of France have banned washing cars and watering lawns. In Britain, water will soon be metered, like gas and electricity. "The English have always taken water for granted," says Granham Warren, a spokesman of Britain" s National Rivers Authority, "now they" re putting a price on it." Even a sudden end to the drought would not end the misery in some areas. It will take several years of unusually heavy winter rain, the experts say, just to bring existing water reserves up to their normal levels.

A．They know more about the causes of the drought.
B．They have a better understanding of the drought in Africa.
C．They have realized that the drought in Europe is the most serious one.

19.Television carries more national advertising than any others in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audience. In many countries, Sweden and Denmark, for example--the stateowned television accepts no advertising. In many other countries the amount of commercial time is extremely limited, as in France, Germany, and Italy. Soviet state-owned television began accepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988.
  The chief reason for the population of television among United States advertisers is that it it reaches a vast number of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30- second commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers. For manufacturers who must make prospects aware of their products and convince them of its benefits immediately, there is nothing as efficient as television advertising.
  Because it employs motion as well as words, graphics, sound, and music, television is a valuable medium for products that lend themselves to demonstration. No other medium is effective in showing how quickly an automobile can accelerate or how well a brand of wristwatch will stand up under abuse and continue to run. Similarly, it is an ideal medium such as long-distance telephone calls.

Which medium carries most national advertising in Spain?

A．Radio.
B．Newspaper.
C．Television.
D．Internet.

20.
State-owned televisions accept ads in the following countries except ______.

A．Portugal
B．Sweden

B．TV is more popular than any other medium in the United States.
C．TV covers a large audience at the same time.
D．TV carries more national advertising than other media in the United States.

A．advertisement
B．business
C．notice
D．positive

23.
The writer of this passage is ______ about the benefits of TV advertising.

A．optimistic
B．unconcerned
C．enthusiastic
D．positive

25.On a clear night you can see many stars in the sky. These stars are millions of miles away. Are there living things on any of the stars? People have always thought about this question. They could not find the answer before now. Today scientists know more about space than ever before. Some machines can help them look for the answer.
  How will scientists do this? People can" t go to the stars. The stars are far away. A person would take hundreds of years to the next star in a spaceship. So scientists are sending out radio signals. These signals travel in space at the speed of light. At that speed, radio signals will take 25 years to reach the next star. The signals ask "Is there anyone out here?". Living things in space must have machines to hear the signals. We will not get an answer to our signals for more than 50 years. However, scientists are already listening. Someone from space may be trying to send signals to us, too.
  Scientists also have sent large telescopes into space. A telescope can make things look larger. The telescopes are going around the earth. They are looking for life on other worlds. In the next few years we may get an answer to the question, "Is there life in space.

People always thought about the question, ______.

A．How can scientists use machines to look for a star?

C．How many years a person would take to go to the next star in a spaceship?
D．Is there life in space?
