三、阅读理解
A
Newspapers
are
not
nearly
as
popular
today
as
they
were
in
the
past.There
are
not
very
many
people
who
seriously
read
a
newspaper
every
day.Most
people
only
read
the
sports
pages,the
advice
or
the
gossip
columns,the
comics,and
perhaps
the
classified
advertisements.Most
people
don't
take
time
to
read
real
news.They
attempt
to
catch
the
reader's
interest
with
pictures
and
exciting
headlines.These
techniques
are
used
on
the
front
page
because
it
is
the
first
thing
you
see
when
you
pick
up
the
paper.The
first
page
attracts
attention
and
encourages
the
reader
to
look
through
the
rest
of
the
paper.This
is
why
editors
always
look
for
a
good
first
page
story
and
a
headline
to
make
them
stop
and
look.If
the
headline
is
horrible
enough
or
frightening
enough
or
wild
enough,perhaps
they
will
go
on
to
read
the
front
page.However,they
may
read
the
headlines,but
that
is
all,then
they
turn
to
the
sports
page,or
comics,or
advertisements.
It
seems
that
people
do
not
want
the
news
from
a
newspaper
any
more.They
say
they
get
the
news
on
television
now.More
people
watch
television
news
because
it
is
easier
and
more
interesting
than
reading
a
newspaper.What
about
you?Do
you
read
news
from
a
newspaper?Do
you
think
it
is
easier
to
get
news
from
television?Or
do
you
care
about
news
at
all?Would
you
mind
if
there
were
no
news

US
scientists
say
they
have
poured
cold
water
on
the
theory
that
washing
hands
with
hot
water
kills
more
germs
than
unheated
water.The
small
study
of
20
people
found
using
water
at
15
℃
(59F)
left
hands
as
clean
as
water
heated
to
38℃
(100F).
National
Health
Service
(NHS)
recommends
that
people
wash
their
hands
in
either
cold
or
warm
water.In
this
study,scientists
at
Rutgers
University—New
Brunswick
wanted
to
find
out
if
popular
assumptions
about
the
benefits
of
warm
or
hot
water
and
official
guidance
on
hot
water
-given
to
the
food
industry
in
the
US
-
held
true.They
asked
20
people
to
wash
their
hands
20
times
each
with
water
that
was
15
℃
(59F),26
℃
(79F)
or
38
degrees
(100F).Volunteers
were
also
asked
to
experiment
with
varying
amounts
of
soap.Before
they
started
the
tests,their
hands
were
covered
in
harmless
bugs.Researchers
say
there
was
no
difference
in
the
amount
of
bugs
removed
as
the
temperature
of
the
water
or
the
amount
of
soap
changed.
Prof
Donald
Schaffner
said:
“People
need
to
feel
comfortable
when
they
are
washing
their
hands
but
as
far
as
effectiveness
goes,this
study
shows
us
that
the
temperature
of
the
water
used
did
not
matter.”
However,the
researchers
accept
their
study
is
small
and
say
more
extensive
work
is
needed
to
determine
the
best
way
to
remove
harmful
bacteria.
In
the
UK,NHS
experts
say
people
can
use
cold
or
hot
water
to
wash
their
hands.They
say
hands
should
be
washed
for
at
least
20
seconds
and
stress
the
importance
of
using
enough
soap
to
cover
the
whole
surface
of
the
hands.Their
guidance
focuses
on
rubbing
hands
together
in
various
ways
to
make
sure
each
surface
of
each
hand
is
clean.
5.

does
the
underlined
phrase
“poured
cold
water”
in
Paragraph
1
probably
mean
A.Proved.
B.Created.
C.Contradicted.
D.Accepted.
6.After
they
washed
their
hands
with
either
hot
or
cold
water,
.
A.volunteers
nearly
had
the

amount
of

food
industry
C.volunteers
still
had
a
lot
of
germs
on

D.volunteers

is
popular.

is
incomplete.

四、阅读七选五
Is
there
a
newspaper
at
your
school
If
your
school
doesn't
have
one,
you
can
help
start
one
online.
If
your
high
school
already
has
a
printed
newspaper,
adding
an
online
version
can
help
you
reach
new
audiences
and
add
new
content.
1 An
online
newspaper
can
be
a
chance
for
high
school
students
to
gain
experience
with
journalism
and
with
working
online.
So
it's
necessary
to
know
how
to
start
an
online
newspaper.
2 If
your
news
site
will
only
have
an
article
or
two
a
day,
you
may
want
to
use
a
blog
template
(模板).
If
you
plan
to
publish
a
more
magazine-style
weekly
edition
with
more
stories,
you
will
probably
want
a
more
complicated
front
page
to
show
what's
in
it.
Try
to
spend
some
money.
Although
it's
possible
to
start
a
website
for
free,
even
$50
will
help
your
newspaper
buy
a
memorable
website
address.
3 Therefore,
don't
feel
unwilling
or
worried
when
you
need
to
spend
some
money.
Create
content
for
your
newspaper.
Along
with
written
articles,
an
online
newspaper
is
a
great
place
for
photo
slide
shows,
videos,
polls,
forums
and
calendars. 4
Market
your
newspaper.
You
can
promote
it
through
old-fashioned
announcements
such
as
flyers
(宣传单)
and
word
of
mouth.
5 You
can
make
good
use
of
Facebook,
MySpace
and
Twitter.
Are
you
ready
to
start
your
own
online
newspaper
If
so,
take
action
right
now!
A.It's
also
much
cheaper
than
a
printed
one.
B.Decide
what
kind
of
online
newspaper
you
want.
C.Try
to
save
money
when
you
start
an
online
newspaper.
D.These
expenses
can
be
made
back
later
through
online
advertising.
E.However,
it
might
be
better
to
advertise
on
social
networking
sites.
F.Use
a
mix
of
content
and
a
variety
of
voices
to
encourage
more
page
views.
G.Online
newspapers
can
help
students
get
improved
and
do
good
to
the
environment.

3.unusual
4.professional

7.from/of
8.deliberately
三、阅读理解
1.B 细节理解题。本题的关键是理解文章的第一句话,由此可知报纸的地位已不如从前。
2.A 推理判断题。新闻往往用一些图片和令人感兴趣的标题来吸引读者注意。
3.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的第三、四句可以找到答案。
4.A 态度意图题。根据文章的第一句话可知,作者对报纸今非昔比的状况有点感慨,作者认为报纸应该受到人们更多的关注。
5.C 词义猜测题。根据第一段的内容可知,美国科学家针对理论“用热水洗手比用未加热的水洗手杀死更多的细菌”进行了实验验证。在第二段最后一句“Researchers
say
there
was
no
difference
in
the
amount
of
bugs
removed
as
the
temperature
of
the
water
or
the
amount
of
soap
changed.”
随着水温或肥皂量的变化,去除的细菌数量没有差异。由此可知这是对上述理论的反驳,故可推断出“poured
cold
water”意为“泼冷水”。即为“反驳”之意,故选C项。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的内容可知,研究者让20人用不同水温的水洗手,志愿者还被要求用不同量的肥皂进行实验。在他们开始测试之前,他们的手上覆盖着无害虫子。研究人员表示,随着水温或肥皂量的变化,去除的臭虫数量没有差别。由此可知,用热水或冷水洗手的志愿者手上的去除的细菌一样多。
7.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the
researchers
accept
their
study
is
small
and
say
more
extensive
work
is
needed
to
determine
the
best
way
to
remove
harmful
bacteria”研究人员承认他们的研究规模很小,并且说需要更广泛的工作来确定去除有害细菌的最佳方法。由此可推断出这个研究是不完整的(incomplete),故选B项。
8.D 标题归纳题。在文章的第一段提出了用热水洗手去除的细菌比冷水洗手去除的多提出了质疑,并且进行了实验。最后得出了结论是两者是没有什么区别的。因此D项为最佳标题。
四、阅读七选五
1.A 空前句表示“如果你的高中已有印刷版报纸,增加一个网络版有助于引起新的读者关注并增加新的内容”。A项意为“它比印刷版报纸还便宜”,与空前句形成并列关系,说明网络版报纸的优势,故A项正确。G项中的do
good
to
the
environment与本段内容无关,故错误。
2.B 本题设空在段首,是本段的中心句,选项要概括全段主要内容。全段讲述了两种报纸的形式——每天只有一两篇文章时,可采用博客版式;如果是具有杂志风格的周报,则需要较为复杂的页面版式。B项意为“决定你想要哪种网络报纸”,与本段语意吻合,故正确。
3.D D项意为“这些开销可以在以后通过网络广告赚回来”,其中的“These
expenses”与前文的some
money、$50
吻合,D项与空后的Therefore,
don't
feel
unwilling
or
worried
when
you
need
to
spend
some
money.(因此当你需要花一些钱的时候,不要不愿意或担心)是因果关系,故正确。C项与本段所提建议观点相反,故错误。
4.F 空前指除了文字性文章,网络报纸还是个融合图片幻灯片、视频、投票、论坛和日历的好地方。F项意为“利用内容的综合性和声音的多样性来刺激更多的网页浏览量”,符合本段“创造自己的报纸的内容”的主旨,故正确。
5.E 本段主要讲述如何营销你的报纸。空前句You
can
promote
it
through
old-fashioned
announcements
such
as
flyers
(宣传单)
and
word
of
mouth.意为“你可以通过旧的宣传方式,例如传单、口碑等宣传”,结合空后句You
can
make
good
use
of
Facebook,
MySpace
and
Twitter.(你可以充分利用Facebook、MySpace和Twitter)可知此处建议在社交网站上做广告更好些。
