Module 5 Newspapers and Magazines同步练-2022-2023学年高中英语外研版
阅读理解
（一）
A
Street Sense is a newspaper in Washington DC about homeless people and issues （问题） that affect them. Homeless or formerly homeless Washingtonians write many of the articles. The newspaper’s business model is based on homeless vendors who sell the newspaper. You can hear them call out “Street Sense for sale” near subway entrances， lunch places and other areas around the city.
The Street Sense newspaper is housed in an office in a Christian church in Washington. Every other Wednesday about fourteen thousand copies are printed. The newspaper expresses the thoughts and experiences of people who call the streets home. Four staff members work at Street Sense. Two of them are paid. The staff members write the first two pages of the paper. Interns—students working as part of their studies—and volunteers help. Homeless writers provide the rest of the material. This includes poems， stories and essays.
Mary Otto is the editor of Street Sense. She came to the paper from the Washington Post newspaper. Mary Otto says severe mental disorders prevent many homeless people from seeking shelter. Such problems can also block them from having close relationships with other people.
Street Sense provides training to the homeless people who want to become part of the sales team. After the training， each student is given ten free copies of Street Sense. Once those are sold， trainees become real sales people. They buy papers for thirty-five cents each and sell them for a dollar.
She says the newspaper plays a part in homeless people’s lives which other media cannot. “The mainstream media do not usually cover poverty （贫穷） or homelessness too much， unless there’s a big rally （集会） or something.”

D. helps homeless people on the street
3. What prevent many homeless people from seeking shelter according to Mary Otto？

C. Lack of knowledge. D. Physical disabilities.
4. What does Mary Otto say about Street Sense？
A. It can do what other media cannot.

With the increasing development of technology， we now have the ability to get much information from foreign media sources. Because we can learn much about events happening in other countries from the media， such as magazines and newspapers， many people may think that reading magazines and newspapers is the best way to learn about a foreign country. However， I believe that only reading magazines and newspapers as a way of learning about a foreign country has several limitations （限制）.
We cannot deny that magazines and newspapers actually present some valuable information about foreign countries. However， the information that they present is often one-sided， so that readers can only learn about one opinion on an event happening in a foreign country. Also， the words and pictures in magazines and newspapers may not be true. Thus the information that readers receive may not be the truth.
I think that the best way to learn about a foreign country is to travel or live there for a while. By traveling or living in a country， you can see things that do not appear in magazines and newspapers， and learn about the local political situation， state of the economy， and the culture. You can get more information about a country by talking directly with local people about the overall situation， and can truly understand the local culture by living with them for a while. But if you are at home reading a newspaper or magazine， you simply get information provided by others passively instead of collecting information directly.
So， I believe that the best way to learn about a foreign country is not by reading magazines and newspapers but by placing yourself in that foreign country.
5. What does the text mainly discuss？
A. How people get information in no time.
B. Where people can get information they need.
C. Why it’s important to learn about a foreign country.
D. What the best way to learn about a foreign country is.
6. What does the underlined word “deny” in Paragraph 2 mean？
A. Disagree. B. Promise.
C. Realize. D. Accept.
7. The author thinks that information from magazines and newspapers is ___ .
A. true but not enough
B. correct but not fresh
C. limited and not always true
D. neither enough nor valuable
8. What is the advantage of traveling to a foreign country according to Paragraph 3？
A. Having a quicker mind by learning more.
B. Having a chance to read local newspapers.
C. Meeting people who are different from you.
D. Learning truths that the media don’t provide.

Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Most people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices， instead of traditional media， such as newspapers， television or radio. An increasing number of people also report turning to social media for information.
Now， there is a new technology that could greatly change the way we get the news： Computer-created news readers. China has launched what it called the world’s first artificial （人工的） intelligence， or AI news presenters.
The news readers， supported by machine learning technology， are based on two real-life Chinese newsmen. One is able to present news broadcast in English; the other， in Mandarin Chinese. A report said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen. Similar technology has been used to create video products known as “deep fake videos”. A deep fake video is a video that looks real， but is electronically changed. Such videos can make people appear to say things they never said.
It’s said that the AI presenters will be a great improvement to the news team because they “can work 24 hours a day” on its website and on social media. One of the presenters even promised to “work tirelessly” to keep people informed. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China’s latest progress in voice recognition （识别）， text to speech technology and data analysis.
Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Some people argued that only low level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines.
Anyway， for its great potential （潜力）， some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations.
4. People now get information mainly from ___ .
A. traditional media B. electronic devices
C. social media D. AI news presenters
5. Why does the author mention “deep fake video” in Paragraph 3？
A. It was also artificial.
B. It was also developed by China.
C. It also used machine learning technology.
D. It also gained popularity and recognition.
6. What can we learn about AI news presenters？
A. They cannot do high level jobs well.
B. They can “speak” several languages.
C. They are not accepted by all the people.
D. They can reflect the improvement in robot making.
7. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph？
A. Working methods of the technology.
B. Other advantages of the technology.
C. Market success of the technology.
D. Examples of the use of the technology.

In 2013， Harris Academy， a school in south London， stopped its students from using slang （俚语） words， such as aim’ t. The move led to an argument over whether it is necessary to control the way students speak.
The creation of slang is one way languages change. Slang， or informal language， usually changes more rapidly than standard language. For example， the word groovy， meaning “great”， used to be very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. But by 1980s， people had stopped using it.
One important reason we use slang is to show others that we belong to a group. Another is to communicate an idea in a more colorful or humorous way. For example， the phrase jump ship creates a stronger image （形象） than the more standard leave an organization. While in the Internet age， slang expressions are created faster than ever. Often， Internet slang words are created to make messages faster and easier to type.
Some people are strongly against the use of slang. Teachers at Harris Academy were worried that slang would prevent their students from learning how to read， write， and express themselves correctly. They thought this might cause problems for them when they finally went on to apply to universities or companies.
However， some people think differently. Linguist Tony Thorne sees slang as a way for speakers of a language to show their creativity and humor. And， unlike what some believe， slang is not a new phenomenon. As Thorne explains， “Slang has not become more popular， simply more public.” In today’s highly connected world， slang has become more noticeable because of better tools to observe language change.
Perhaps the worries mentioned above can be solved by making people understand when to use certain forms of language. As long as people use slang properly， there is no need to completely avoid it.
1. The author mention the word “groovy” is to show .
A. how languages change
B. slang changes fast
C. slang was popular in the 1960s
D. how standard language forms over time
2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？
A. Why people use slang.
B. How people use slang.
C. Different types of slang.
D. The development of slang.
3. What can we infer about slang from Tony Thorne’s words in Paragraph 5？
A. It takes time to develop.
B. It has been accepted by the public.
C. It is increasingly known to the public.
D. It is being used by more and more people.
4. What is the author’s attitude towards Harris Academy’s decision on slang？
A. He is against it. B. He is in favor of it.
C. He is doubtful about it. D. He is uninterested in it.
