B
For several years，Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone． Now，teleshopping is starting in Europe．ln a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys and many others things．
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden． For example，the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $ 100 million．In France，there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels．
In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour ev-ery day． Then the government allowed more teleshopping． Other channels can open for telebusi-ness，including teleshopping companies． German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things．
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes． With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason．But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping． They call teleshopping "just on the air． "Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV． Good quality is important to them，and they believe they can't be sure about the quality of the things on TV．
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will be different from the American companies． They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell． They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can-t touch or see in person．
( )26．In which country people can go teleshopping?
A． America and all the European countries．
B． Australia and some European countries．
C． The USA and many European countries．
D． America and many developed countries．

US Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer
Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans,but black Americans are still more likely to die of cancer than whites,the American Cancer Society said Monday.
In a special report on cancer and blacks,the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites,and they are more likely to die of the disease.
This could be because of unequal access to medical care,because blacks are more likely to have other diseases like diabetes as well,and perhaps because of differences in the biology of the cancer itself,the report added.
“In general,African Americans have less likelihood of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,”the report said.
“In describing cancer statistics for African Americans,this report recognizes that socioeconomic disparities and unequal access to medical care may underlie many of the differences associated with race.”
The Cancer Society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups earlier,when cancer was more treatable,and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role.
“The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of eliminating these social disparities through public policy and education efforts,”the organization said in a statement.
But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.
“Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have declined substantially among black Americans since 1992,as have incidence rates,”said the report.
“Increased efforts to improve economic conditions in combination with education about the relationship of lifestyle choices to cancer could further reduce the burden of cancer among African Americans.” About 36 million Americans describe themselves as black,representing about 12 percent of the population.Since 1992,cancer death rates among black Americans________.
A: have been going up and down
B: have remained stable
C: have increased
D: have declined答案：D解析：由文章第一段的内容可知，美国黑人的死亡率高于美国白人。该段只是将美国黑人与美国白人的癌症死亡率进行了比较。故选B。
前三项原因在文章第三段中都被提到了，而早期诊断是有助于降低癌症死亡率的。
由文章第六段的内容可以得知，癌症越早发现越有利于治疗。
文章第七段提到，公共政策和教育有助于消除不平等的社会差异。
由文章的倒数第三段的内容可知，从1992年以来，美国黑人的癌症死亡率下降了。 -

TV Games Shows
One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience.A novel can be on the best sellers list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 .copies,but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers.TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.
This is the principle behind quiz or game shows,which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prizes and money.A quiz show can make anyone a star,and it can give away thou-sands of dollars just for fun.But all of this money can create problems.For instance,in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the US and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor,became rich and famous after winning money on several shows.He even had a career as a television personality.But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheat-ing. It turned out that the show's producers,who were pulling the strings,gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why?Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game,they turned the show off. Based on his story,a movie under the title Quiz Show is on 40 years later.
Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV.But game shows are still here,though they aren't taken as seriously. In fact,some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible.There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together,or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV,or that punish losers by humiliating them.The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV.People still win money,but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of mil-lions.The huge scandal of cheating in TV games shows was not exposed until 40 years later in the movie Quiz Show.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned答案：B解析：答案查找的线索词：world-famous overnight（一夜成名）和beggar（乞丐）。在第一段的最后一句中找到含有world-famous overnight的相关句。原句说，电视可让anything （任何事）和anyone（任何人）一夜成名，当然包括beggar,所以这句话正确。
该句是说“问答节目背后的原则是为了让普通人参加赢取奖品和奖金的电视节目”，答案查找的线索词：ordinary people（普通人）。在第二段的第-句中找到含有ordi-nary people的相关句。原句的结构与问题句的结构有所不同：原句中有代词“this"，说 “这就是猜谜节目背后的原则”，而代词往往指代前-句的内容，可见“TV can make an-ything or anyone well-known overnight”才是猜谜节目背后的原则。所以该句说法错误。
答案查找的线索词：provide（提供）或TV stars and large companies（电视明星和大公司）。查找完全文也没发现这些线索词，可见该问题并没在原文中提到，所以答案为C 项。
该问题句说“一位电视名人，Charles Van Doren，被证明通过说服节目制作人事先给他答案来进行欺骗”。答案查找的线索词：Charles Van Doren（人名）和cheating（欺骗）。从第二段的第四行开始发现含有Charles Van Doren的相关句，再找另一线索词：cheat-ing，于是又进-步在该段找到直接相关行（7-10行）。原文是说，为了吸引观众，节目制作人主动把答案事先告诉Charles Van Doren。所以该句说法错误。
该问题句说“大量电视节目中的欺骗丑闻40年以后才在名为《Quiz Show》的电影中被曝光。”答案查找的线索词：40 years和Quiz Show．从第二段的最后一句找到含有这两个线索词的直接相关句。发现原文并不是说“40年后该电影才曝光这一丑闻”。原句只是说“名为《Quiz Show》的电影在40年后上映”，所以该句说法错误。
答案查找的线索词：nowadays（现在）或seriously（严肃地）。在第三段的第二句中可以找到含有seriously的相关句。原句说“这种节目仍然在电视上播放，但人们对它的态度不再像从前那样认真”，问题句的意思与之相符，所以正确。
答案查找的线索词：get money from the shows（从节目中得到钱）。在第三段的最后一句中找到与“get money from the shows”语义相近的词“win money"。原句说人们仍然可以赢得钱，所以问题句的意思与原句不符。 -
