Before the 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper"-a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper " caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
1. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?
A. Academic. B. Unattractive. C. Inexpensive. D. Confidential.
2. What did street sales mean to newspapers?
A. They would be priced higher.
B. They would disappear from cities.
C. They could have more readers.
D. They could regain public trust.
3. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?
A. Local politicians. B. Common people.
C. Young publishers. D. Rich businessmen.
4. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?
A. It was a difficult process.
B. It was a temporary success.
C. It was a robbery of the poor.
D. It was a disaster for printers.
C
When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn't cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. 揑t sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. 揟he ecosystem down there can抰 handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it抯 not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton抯 job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a lable to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
1. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?
A. To promote guilt-free fur.
B. To expand the fashion market.
C. To introduce a new brand.
D. To celebrate a winter holiday.
2. What does the underlined word 揷ollapsed in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Boomed. B. Became mature. C. Remained stable. D. Crashed.
3. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A. It’s formal. B. It’s risky. C. It’s harmful. D. It’s traditional.

参考答案
一、阅读理解
(A) 【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了关于自然科学的一些活动和展览。
1．A　细节理解题。由该部分中的“Start a journey through watersheds to see how everyone’s actions affect the health of our ocean.”可知Ocean Bound关注人们怎样污染海洋，选A。
2．B　细节理解题。由Plant and Animal Double-Takes部分中的“Join Sciencenter educators Julie Yurek and Sarah Cox to look into species that make you take a second look. Explore the surprising differences between these plants and animals.”可知在Saturday，January 21,2 pm可以了解到很多植物和动物，应该也包括海洋物种，选B。
3．D　细节理解题。由最后一部分中的 “Have you ever wondered how animals survive in winter？Join Emma Brofsky of Cornell’s Naturalist Outreach Program...”可知Emma Brofsky将介绍动物的生存能力，选D。
(B) 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。十九世纪三十年代之前报纸由于只能以年为单位订购，几乎仅仅是有钱人的专有物，后来一些有胆略的年轻商人打破现状，逐渐让街上以份售卖成为报纸销售的主流。这就是报纸行业的一场大的变革。
1. B 【解析】考查推理判断。根据关键词before 1830s定位到第一段，由“most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience”可知那时候的报纸并不吸引人，选项B符合。 academic以为“学院的，学究的”， inexpensive意为“不贵的”， confidential意为“机密的”。
2. C 【解析】由第二段可知，由于street sales的出现，导致报纸成本降低，因此购买报纸的读者变得更多，故选择C。
3. B 【解析】根据第二段“The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper"-a term referring to papers made widely available to the public”可知新趋势的目标是普通人，故选B。
4. A 【解析】根据最后一段“This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well”可知这种报纸诞生的过程很艰难，故选A。
(C)
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。介绍了美国新奥良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀。展出海狸鼠制成的皮衣。海狸鼠们每年都在破坏大片的湿地，因此设计师称这是一种环保的举措，科学家们也对海狸鼠损坏生态平衡表示了担忧。
1. A 推理判断题。根据第二段Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.得知，美国新奥尔良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀，时装秀上展出海狸鼠皮制成的不同风格的衣服，项目总监Cree McCree说：“除非了解海狸鼠正每年破坏大片湿地，否则谈论无罪感皮衣是很疯狂的事情”，可以判断出由于海狸鼠对生态造成了巨大的破坏，这场海狸鼠皮衣时装秀销售的是无罪恶感皮衣。故选A。
2. D 词义猜测题。根据第五段The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy. 得知，毛皮贸易使海狸鼠受到了几十年的控制，但是当海狸鼠市场在20世纪80年代末崩溃时，这种猫大小的动物数量疯长，根据but判断，这是转折关系，以前由于皮毛交易，海狸鼠处于控制，现在这种海狸鼠之所以能够数量激增，是由于市场不再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的，可以推断出划线词collapsed 是和D.crashed倒闭的意思最相近。故选D。
3. B 推理判断题。根据第二段Model Paige Morgan says, “To give people a guilt –free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least in New York. ” 得知，为了给人们一种无罪的选择，人们可以穿皮衣而不被人们泼油漆，我认为在纽约将是一件巨大的事情，根据模特摩根所说得知，在纽约穿皮质衣服是有风险的。故选B。

三、语法填空
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西方公司越来越重视在中国市场使用有创造性的中文名字来吸引人们的注意这一现象；同时也提及为进入西方市场，中国公司也在寻求起好外文名字的建议这一事实。
1.　sounded　考查动词的时态。分析句子成分可知，此处在宾语从句中作谓语，且后跟形容词作表语，再由主句中的thought可知，主句谓语动词用的是过去式，因此此处谓语动词也要用过去式。故填sounded。
2．restaurants　考查名词单复数。restaurant是可数名词；根据常识可知，(麦当劳的)快餐连锁店有很多，因此此处应用复数形式。故填restaurants。
3.　a　考查冠词。此处表示“一个被认可的品牌名”，表示泛指，且recognizable发音以辅音音素开头，所以其前应用不定冠词a。
4.　entering/to enter　考查非谓语动词。此处作定语，修饰most companies，动词enter与被修饰词most companies之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且此处动作可表示正在发生也可表示将要发生，所以可用现在分词也可用动词不定式作定语。故填entering/to enter。
5.　with　考查介词。根据语境可知，公司正在选择具有积极意义的中文名字来吸引人们的注意。with意为“具有”，符合语境。故填with。
6.　is called　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。在该非限制性定语从句中，which指代的是前面的BMW，且在从句中作主语，所以这里应该是指BMW被叫作宝马，应用被动语态；又因此处指的是一般的情况，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语是单数第三人称。故填is called。
7.　which　考查定语从句引导词。分析句子成分可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，且引导词指代前面主句的内容，在从句中作主语，故填which。
8.　commonly　考查词性转换。根据语境可知，此处修饰used，应用副词形式。故填commonly。
9.　wiser　考查形容词的比较等级。根据本句中的连词than可知，此处应用形容词的比较级。故填wiser。
10.　advice　考查词性转换。及物动词seek后接名词作宾语，advise的名词形式是advice，为不可数名词，没有复数形式。故填advice。
