Ⅴ.阅读理解
Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past.There are not many people who seriously read a newspaper every day.Most people read only the sports pages,the advice or the gossip columns,the comics,and perhaps the classified advertisements.Most people don’t take the time to read the real news.They attempt to catch the readers’ 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 readers 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 not go on to read the front page anymore.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 anymore.They say they get the news on the 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 the news from television?Or don’t you care about news at all?Would you mind if there were no news

答案
Ⅰ.1.approve 2.polished 3.appointment 4.senior 5.ahead 6.edition 7.Crime 8.process 9.accurate 10.department
Ⅱ.1.(1)correct (2)exact (3)Accurate (4)exact
[accurate不仅表示没有错误,而且表示细心谨慎地做到符合标准、符合事实、无出入。exact的含义是“精确的、确切的”,强调完全符合标准,符合事实或真相。correct的意思是“正确的”,指按照一定的标准或规则没有错误,意义在这三个词中最弱。]
2.(1)main (2)chief (3)major (4)main
[chief“主要的,首席的”,通常用于指身份、地位或重要性处于第一位的人或物。main“主要的”,强调事物的某一部分、分支的重要性,大小及潜力优于其他部分、分支,或表示该部分在整个事物中占有显赫的地位。major“主要的,重要的”,指在规模、数量、范围等方面比其他的更加重要,更加突出。此外major还可表示“主修的,多数的”。]
Ⅲ.1.by accident 2.Be sure to 3.was ahead of the others 4.make appointments 5.Pass the book on to me
Ⅳ.1.D [senior“年长的,(级别或地位)高的”,表示比较之意时,用to。]
2.A [句意为:做任何改革恐怕都会是个缓慢的过程。process“过程”,符合题意。procedure程序、手续;practice练习,实践;program计划,方案。]
3.C [apply常与介词to连用,由此排除A项;concentrate常与介词on/upon连用,由此排除B项;absorb常用于词组get absorbed in,意思是“专心于”;fix常与介词on或upon连用,由此排除D项。]
4.C [approve of sb(’s) doing sth.表示“赞成某人做某事”。]
5.B [require需要;acquire获取;assist帮助;gather聚集。acquire the skills表示“获得技能”。]
6.A [句意为:岛民们总是随时准备保卫自己的家乡不受海盗的攻击。此句是指当海盗攻击时,岛民们对家园进行保卫,所以要用defend。]
7.D [in order to do sth.可放在句首,而so as to do sth.却不可,故排除A、C两项。require“要求,需要”;acquire“获得,得到”,符合题意,故选D项。]
8.C [not only...but also... 连接两个并列的主语时,谓语动词要遵循临近原则,排除B、D两项;look forward to“盼望,期盼”,to是介词,故选C。]
9.D [此题考查如何选用关系副词和关系代词,即考查定语从句引导词的选用。the point作介词on的宾语,因此应选用关系代词或者省略。所以选D。]
10.C [句意为:“我可以打开窗子放进来点新鲜空气吗?”“开吧!”。C项意为“开始,进行”,用于回答别人的请求,可译为“去吧,好吧,说吧,干吧”等。]
Ⅴ.1.B [细节理解题。关键是理解文章的第一句话“Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past”,由此可知报纸的地位已不如从前。]
2.A [推理判断题。文章开头提到新闻往往采取一些图片和令人感兴趣的标题来吸引读者注意,而这些技巧一般被用在报纸的头版。]
3.A [推理判断题。新闻往往采取一些图片和令人感兴趣的标题来吸引读者注意。]
4.D [细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句“Most people read only the sports pages,the advice or the gossip columns,the comics,and perhaps the classified advertisements.”和第四句“Most people don’t take the time to read the real news.”可以找到答案。]
5.A [主旨归纳题。由文章的第一句话可知作者对报纸的今非昔比的状况似乎有点感慨,作者认为报纸应该受到人们更多的关注。]
