Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/ surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”.
5. What does the author say about doctors in general
A. They like flying by themselves.
B. They are unwilling to take advice.
C. They pretend to be good pilots.
D. They are quick learners of CRM.
6. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.
A. he saved the plane by speaking up
B. he was in charge of a flying task
C. his boss landed the plane too late
D. his boss operated on a patient
7. In the last paragraph“landing gear up” probably means ______.
A. following flying requirements.
B overreacting to different opinions.
C. listening to what fellow doctors say
D. making a mistake that may cost lives
8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C. The Making of a Good Pilot
D. A Pilot-Tumed Doctor
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. D 8. B
【解析】
【分析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，题材是故事。作者讲述了自己把当飞行员时学会的机组资源管理理念运用到后来自己从医的手术室中。飞行经历使自己成为一名更出色的医生。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一行的 “Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all.(众所周知，医生是糟糕飞行员。他们不听，因为他们已经知道了一切。) ”可知，作者总体上认为doctors不喜欢倾听，他们认为他们什么都懂。B选项“他们不愿意采纳意见”符合文意，故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.（我们的生命处于危险之中，危机时刻我大声地说：“我们必须按下起降架” 这是我运用CRM的第一堂课。）”可知，作者在经历了一次飞行，给上级提了意见之后，对CRM有了更深的理解，故选A。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“We need to put the landing gear down now!（我们必须按下起降架） ”可知，作者提出的降下起落架的建议，使飞机安全着陆；keep sb from doing sth阻止某人某事，这里用的是”landing gear up”，是相反的情况，言外之意是，作者希望有人能够勇敢提出意见，以避免发生危险的事情。划线部分指的是危险的事情，D选项“犯以生命为代价的错误”，符合文意，故选D。

C
Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.
9. What attracted the early settlers to New York City
A. Its business culture.
B. Its small population.
C. Its geographical position.
D. Its favourable climate.
10. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson
A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.
B. One out of five people got rich.
C. Almost everyone gave up.
D. Half of them died.
11. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson
A. They found the city too crowded.
B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C. They were unable to stand the winter.
D. They were short of food.
12. What is the text mainly about
A. The rise and fall of a city.
B. The gold rush in Canada.
C. Journeys into the wilderness.
D. Tourism in Dawson.
【答案】9. C 10. B 11. B 12. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Dawson这座城市的发展原因、过程与现状。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.可知，人们选择在河边或港口设城是因为交通方便，便于做生意。而纽约就是在哈德森河口附近的一个大港口，故纽约吸引早期移民的原因是它的地理位置，故C正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.可知，在最初挖黄金的两万人中有4000人变富有，所以是五分之一的人变富了，故B正确。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.可知，人们离开Dawson的主要原因是听说在Alaska发现了黄金，也就是他们要去别的地方寻找发财的机会。故B正确。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段简要介绍城市发展的原因，引出Dawson这一城市的兴起，第二段介绍了该城市兴起的原因，第三段介绍人们选择离开该城市的原因及现在的状况，所以全文围绕Dawson这个城市的发展起伏。故A正确。
【点睛】主旨大意题的解题技巧：一篇文章都是围绕着一个中心思想或一个话题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕Dawson的发展展开，Dawson反复出现，再根据每一段的段首句可以总结出，文章第一段通过城市发展的原因引出Dawson，第二段介绍Dawson发展的原因，第三段介绍人们选择离开该城市的原因及现在的状况，从而总结出文章的主旨大意。
D
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 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.
13. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s
A. Academic. B. Unattractive.
C. Professional. D. Popular.
14. 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.
15. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at
A. Local politicians. B. Common people.
C. Young publishers. D. Rich businessmen.
【答案】13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“便士报纸”的诞生历史。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Before1830s,…Accordingly newspapers were read almost only by rich people. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding.( 19世纪30年代之前，……报纸几乎只有富人才会阅读。此外，大多数报纸几乎没有能吸引大众的内容。它们枯燥乏味，视觉上令人生畏。)”可知，因为那时大多数报纸几乎没有能吸引大众的内容。它们枯燥乏味，视觉上令人生畏。由此可判断，那时的报纸没有什么吸引力。A. Academic学术的；B. Unattractive没有吸引力，无魅力的；C. Professional职业的；D. Popular受欢迎的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“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.(当时的趋势是“便士纸”，指的是公众广泛使用的报纸。它意味着任何便宜的报纸，也许更重要的是，它意味着可以在街上买到单份的报纸。)”可推知，街头销售意味着报纸可以有更多的读者。故选C项。
【15题详解】

Do you waste food
How much food do you buy each week Are you someone who fills your fridge and cupboards with treats so that you'11 always have something to eat and so that you'll never go hungry ____16____
Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the developed world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of world face food shortages and are starving. ____17____ The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.
You may think supermarkets are mainly to blame for this mountain of food. After all, they do cast stuff that's past its sell — by — date. They've also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need. ____18____ In Europe an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up landfill sites. Unfortunately, this causes greenhouse gases which eventually leads to global warming and climate change.
In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to tackle this problem. She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in quantity so that people bought only what they needed. She's set up an education program in schools. ____19____
____20____ And when we're at home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our extra food with our friends and neighbours.
A. People buy more than they need and throw too much away.
B. Or maybe, you're efficient with your shopping, only buying what you need.
C. But the biggest contributor to food waste is us.
D. Clearly, we need to think twice when shopping.
E. We simply need to stop throwing away food and enjoy it instead.
F. This has helped create a 25% reduction in food waste.
G. It's shocking that a third of the world's food is wasted each year.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. C 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，近年来，发达国家正面临愈演愈烈的食品浪费现象，生活在这些国家的人们仍掉大量的食物，与其对比，另有一些国家的人们面临食物紧缺，饥饿难耐，本文讨论导致食物浪费的原因和可减少浪费的办法。
【16题详解】
由上两句“How much food do you buy each week Are you someone who fills your fridge and cupboards with treats so that you'11 always have something to eat and so that you'll never go hungry ”（你每周买多少食物？你是那种在冰箱和碗橱里放满食物的人吗，这样你就永远有东西吃，永远不会挨饿。）可知，上文询问读者每周买多少食物，列举了一种买很多食物填满冰箱和碗橱的人，可得出这里是问大家每周是怎么买食物的，该空可能会讲每周买多少食物的另一种情况（或人），承接上文，B选项“或者，你购物效率很高，只买你需要的东西。”切题。故选B项。
【17题详解】
由上两句“Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the developed world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of world face food shortages and are starving.”（在发达国家，丢弃不需要的食物已经成为一个大问题。当我们中的一些人扔掉不需要的东西时，世界上其他地方的人们面临着食物短缺和饥饿。）和下一句“The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.”（实际数字是13亿吨粮食，足够养活10亿饥饿人口。）可知，上文讲到发达国家食物浪费的现象，该空应该承接上文继续讲食物浪费问题，结合下文讲的13亿吨足够养活10亿饥饿人口的粮食可知，该空可能会讲食物浪费的多少，承接上下文，G选项“令人震惊的是，世界上每年有三分之一的食物被浪费了。”切题。故选G项。
【18题详解】
由下一句“In Europe an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year.”（在欧洲，令人难以置信的53%的食物垃圾来自家庭，每年造成8800万吨食物垃圾。）可知，下文讲到53%的食物浪费来自家庭，说明是我们（消费者自己）造成了食物浪费，承接下文，C选项“但造成食物浪费的最大因素是我们。”切题。故选C项。
【19题详解】
由上三句“In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to tackle this problem. She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in quantity so that people bought only what they needed. She's set up an education program in schools.”（在丹麦，一位名叫Selina Juul的女士一直在努力解决这个问题。她说服一些超市停止大量销售商品，以便人们只买他们需要的东西。她在学校里设立了一个教育计划。）可知，Selina Juul女士采取措施来解决食物浪费问题，可得出她设立的教育计划也是为了减少食物浪费问题，承接上文，F选项“这有助于减少25%的食物浪费。”切题。故选F项。
【20题详解】
此处是总结句。由上文的“食物浪费问题严重”和下一句“And when we're at home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our extra food with our friends and neighbours.”（当我们在家的时候，我们应该充分利用我们所拥有的食物——使用用光我们剩菜的食谱，甚至与我们的朋友和邻居分享我们多余的食物。）可知，食物浪费问题很严重，下文建议读者不要浪费食物，想办法吃完拥有的食物，说明为了不浪费食物，我们买食物时，要多多思考自己到底需要多少食物，承接上下文，D选项“显然，我们在购物时要三思而后行。”切题。故选D项。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Rain pattered outside, and the low rumble of thunder was felt more than heard. Inside the cozy living room, 10-year-old twins, Jake and Ben, huddled on the couch, browsing through their favorite songs on the tablet.
“Hey Jake, I think we should perform this one,” Ben said, pointing to a classic track they both loved.
Jake hesitated, “I love that song, Ben, but it has high notes. You know I struggle with those.”
Ben smirked, “That’s why we’re a team, right I’ve got the high notes, and you’ve got those amazing low tones. Together, we’re unbeatable.”
Jake sighed, feeling a pinch of anxiety. The school’s annual singing contest was only a weekaway, and they had decided to participate as a duo (搭档). Both brothers were talented, but while Ben was confident and had an impressive range, Jake often battled stage fright and doubted his abilities.
“Okay, let’s give it a shot,” Jake finally agreed, taking a deep breath.
The following days were filled with rehearsals. After school, they would lock themselves in their bedroom and practice. Their parents would occasionally hear their harmonies, smiles playing on their lips, proud of their determined sons.
However, not every rehearsal went smoothly. There were times Jake would miss a note, and Ben’s high notes would sometimes waver. There were disagreements over pacing, key changes, and even the kind of emotions they should evoke during specific parts of the song.
Yet, what made their bond unbreakable was their unwavering support for each other. When Jake felt nervous about the impending (逼近的) performance, Ben would reassure him. “You have a gift, Jake. Trust in it. And if you ever falter, remember I’m right there with you.”
On the other hand, when Ben struggled with his high notes, Jake was his pillar of strength. “Just relax, take a deep breath, and let it out. We’ve got this, bro.”
Days passed, and the day of the contest arrived. The school auditorium was buzzing with excitement. Families, teachers, and students filled every seat. As Jake and Ben waited backstage, Jake felt his heart racing. The murmur of the audience was deafening, and the weight of the stage lights made everything seem surreal.
“Hey,” Ben whispered, squeezing Jake’s hand, “remember the time we sang in front of our entire family during the reunion It’s the same, just a slightly larger family.”
Jake chuckled, feeling a bit better. “Yeah, a ‘slightly’ larger one.”
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Before they knew it, their names were announced.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Sensing his brother’s unease, Ben subtly squeezed Jake’s hand and continued singing, letting Jake gather himself.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Before they knew it, their names were announced. The stage lights shone brightly as they stepped onto the stage, feeling nervous but excited. The familiar melody filled the auditorium, and Jake suddenly felt a surge of adrenaline mixed with fear racing through his veins. Jake’s heart pounded in his chest, his voice shaky at first. He turned to Ben and trying to avoid the eyes from the audience. Ben kept calm and didn’t respond, but he knew how his brother felt.
Sensing his brother’s unease, Ben subtly squeezed Jake’s hand and continued singing, letting Jake gather himself. Feeling Ben’s peace and strength, Jake turned back and started to focus on the performance with confidence. Together, they navigated through the song, their voices mixing in perfect harmony. As they reached the climax of the performance, Jake closed his eyes, letting the music lead him. When the final note echoed through the auditorium, the audience erupted into thunderous applause. Jake and Ben shared a triumphant smile, knowing that they had overcome their fears together.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了双胞胎兄弟Jake和Ben决定参加学校的歌唱比赛，但Jake对高音不太自信，而Ben则充满信心。他们一起练习，尽管两人都遇到了一些困难，但他们的支持和鼓励使他们更加紧密地团结在一起。比赛的日子终于到来，两人相互鼓励。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“在他们意识到之前，他们的名字被宣布了。”可知，第一段可描写Jake上台后感到非常紧张，不知如何应对。
②由第二段首句内容“本察觉到了兄弟的不安，便不露声色地捏了捏杰克的手，继续唱歌，让杰克镇定下来。”可知，第二段可描写Ben给予安慰，两人最终成功完成表演。
2.续写线索：Jake感到非常紧张寻求帮助——Ben捏手安慰给予信心——Jake镇定下来表演渐入佳境——演出大获成功

Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/ surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”.
5. What does the author say about doctors in general
A. They like flying by themselves.
B. They are unwilling to take advice.
C. They pretend to be good pilots.
D. They are quick learners of CRM.
6. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.
A. he saved the plane by speaking up
B. he was in charge of a flying task
C. his boss landed the plane too late
D. his boss operated on a patient
7. In the last paragraph“landing gear up” probably means ______.
A. following flying requirements.
B. overreacting to different opinions.
C. listening to what fellow doctors say
D. making a mistake that may cost lives
8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C. The Making of a Good Pilot
D. A Pilot-Tumed Doctor
C
Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.
9. What attracted the early settlers to New York City
A. Its business culture.
B. Its small population.
C. Its geographical position.
D. Its favourable climate.
10. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson
A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.
B. One out of five people got rich.
C. Almost everyone gave up.
D. Half of them died.
11. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson
A. They found the city too crowded.
B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C. They were unable to stand the winter.
D. They were short of food.
12. What is the text mainly about
A. The rise and fall of a city.
B. The gold rush in Canada.
C. Journeys into the wilderness.
D. Tourism in Dawson.

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 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.
13. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s
A. Academic. B. Unattractive.
C. Professional. D. Popular.
14. 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.
15. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at
A. Local politicians. B. Common people.
C. Young publishers. D. Rich businessmen.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Rain pattered outside, and the low rumble of thunder was felt more than heard. Inside the cozy living room, 10-year-old twins, Jake and Ben, huddled on the couch, browsing through their favorite songs on the tablet.
“Hey Jake, I think we should perform this one,” Ben said, pointing to a classic track they both loved.
Jake hesitated, “I love that song, Ben, but it has high notes. You know I struggle with those.”
Ben smirked, “That’s why we’re a team, right I’ve got the high notes, and you’ve got those amazing low tones. Together, we’re unbeatable.”
Jake sighed, feeling a pinch of anxiety. The school’s annual singing contest was only a weekaway, and they had decided to participate as a duo (搭档). Both brothers were talented, but while Ben was confident and had an impressive range, Jake often battled stage fright and doubted his abilities.
“Okay, let’s give it a shot,” Jake finally agreed, taking a deep breath.
The following days were filled with rehearsals. After school, they would lock themselves in their bedroom and practice. Their parents would occasionally hear their harmonies, smiles playing on their lips, proud of their determined sons.
However, not every rehearsal went smoothly. There were times Jake would miss a note, and Ben’s high notes would sometimes waver. There were disagreements over pacing, key changes, and even the kind of emotions they should evoke during specific parts of the song.
Yet, what made their bond unbreakable was their unwavering support for each other. When Jake felt nervous about the impending (逼近的) performance, Ben would reassure him. “You have a gift, Jake. Trust in it. And if you ever falter, remember I’m right there with you.”
On the other hand, when Ben struggled with his high notes, Jake was his pillar of strength. “Just relax, take a deep breath, and let it out. We’ve got this, bro.”
Days passed, and the day of the contest arrived. The school auditorium was buzzing with excitement. Families, teachers, and students filled every seat. As Jake and Ben waited backstage, Jake felt his heart racing. The murmur of the audience was deafening, and the weight of the stage lights made everything seem surreal.
“Hey,” Ben whispered, squeezing Jake’s hand, “remember the time we sang in front of our entire family during the reunion It’s the same, just a slightly larger family.”
Jake chuckled, feeling a bit better. “Yeah, a ‘slightly’ larger one.”
