25、ne through the centre.Passage 1 Question 51 to 55 are based on thefollowing passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is d

26、isgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being.

28、iscussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce vir

29、tually anything in the name of art. There is an increasing tendency to equate artistic with pornographic (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself

30、of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51A censors duty is _.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut films C) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52Some peop

31、le are against censorship for the reason that _.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit D) censorship limits the way people feel and think53When the writer says to equate artistic which pornographic, he means _.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decency
