INFLUENCES OF TELEVISION

Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made

Television, although not essential, has become a(n) (26) _ part of most people’s lives It has become a baby-sitter, an initiator of conversations, a major transmitter of culture, and a keeper of traditions Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer The poor quality of programs does not elevate people into greater (27)

The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV development and the economics of TV Television in America began with the radio Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television Therefore, the close relationship, which the advertisers had with radio programs, became the system for American TV Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs Thus, coming from the capitalistic, profit-oriented sector of American society, television is primarily (28) _ with reflecting and attracting society rather than innovating and experimenting with new ideas Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible; to do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than challenging

Television in America today remains, to a large (29) _, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago The hope for some evolution and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the (30) _ system

Question 26 A integral B mixed C fractional D superior

Question 27 A preconception B knowledge

Question 28 A concerned B interested C worried D connected

Question 29 A extent B degree C size D amount

Question 30 A total B full C entire D complete

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In the American colonies there was little money England did not supply the colonies with coins and did not allow the colonies to make their own coins, except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins England wanted to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money

to buy products from other countries The result during this pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money The colonists also made use of

any foreign coins they could obtain Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use

in the American colonies

During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so each of the individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money So much of this paper

money was printed that by the end of the war, almost no one would accept it As a result,

trade in goods and the use of foreign coins still flourished during this period

By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the

monetary system was in a state of total disarray To remedy this situation, the new

Constitution of the United States, approved in 1789, allowed Congress to issue money The individual states could no longer have their own money supply A few years later, the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the official currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic standard In this bimetallic system, both gold and silver were legal money, and the rate of exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one

C the effect of the Revolution on American money

B throughout the seventeenth century

C from 1652 until the Revolutionary War

D for a short time during one year

Question 34 The pronoun “it” in paragraph 2 refers to which of the following

A the Continental Congress B Paper money

Question 35 The word “remedy” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, that provides information concerning how people think and act In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup and the Harris poll As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States

North American are familiar with many “person on the street” interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not

necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those

people who appear at a certain location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the news people select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera A

survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad

range of the population

In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording

of questions An effect survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it I must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately

There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than

to throw away a written questionnaire In addition, an interview can go beyond written

questions and probe for a subject’s underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaires

have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent

Question 43 The word “exercise” in line 13 is closest in meaning to

Question 44 It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become

B questionnaires are often difficult to read

D respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions
