Big advertisements on city buses are nothing new. But lately, ads have been appearing on school buses too. Nine states in the U.S. allow schools to put ads on the outside of their buses. Several others may soon do the same. Some schools also allow ads inside buses.
Businesses pay schools to run the ads. That extra money can help pay teachers, buy books, and help keep the buses running. "It would be good to have ads on school buses. Schools could use the money to buy more textbooks and computers for students. My family is always looking for fun things to do around town, and seeing the ads would help us know what's out there, such as new museums," Trace Dillinger, from Arkansas, says.
Many schools are careful to avoid using ads for things like junk food. But some people argue that it doesn't matter what the ads are selling—they don't belong to buses. They say the school bus is one of the few places most kids get a break from advertising. Others say it's a safety problem, because buses covered with ads could distract drivers. They may concentrate on these ads and cause accidents.
"Kids already see a lot of ads on TV and in magazines. Having ads on school buses doesn't help kids' education and could make kids buy things they don't need. Also, drivers may not easily recognize school buses if they have ads on them," says Sofia Reynoso, from Massachusetts.
86. What may Trace Dillinger agree with
A. Schools benefit a lot from the ads on school buses.
B. The ads on school buses help people have fun.
C. Schools should be careful choosing the ads.
D. The ads on school buses should be free.
87. The underlined word "distract" in Paragraph 3 probably means " ".
A. take one's attention away B. make someone angry
C. damage one's health D. make someone tired
88. Some people are against the ads on school buses partly because .
A. they lead to kids' poor grades
B. they are not well-designed
C. they are of no help to kids
D. they advertise junk food

After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled, Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. "Everyone else was already admitted to college," her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. "So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said, 'You have to let me in."'
Impressed-she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese(葡萄牙语) in Brazil-Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for The Yale Daily News "and decided to be a journalist," her mother said.
On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces attacked the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.
"She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday", Ms. Colvin said. "Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.”
Ms. Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. "If you knew my daughter," she said; "it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, it was her life. There was no saying 'Don't do this.'This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could." So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism, her mother said.

A. She was quite confident of herself.
B. She was good at persuading others.
C. She was a rude girl who often ordered others.
D. She was humorous and always joked with others.
90. Marie Colvin's story in the passage indicates that she was a journalist.
A. honest and curious B. patient and confident
C. cautious and creative D. strong-minded and courageous
91. What can we infer from Marie Colvin's life
A. Any journalist should always obey the editor and follow his/her advice.
B. A good journalist can make a vivid report by his/her own experience in the situation.
C. Being a news reporter is not a wise career choice for a girl because it is too dangerous.
D. It is absolutely unnecessary for a journalist to go to a city under attack to cover a story.
92. What can be the best title of the text
A. Covering Stories in a Dangerous Conflict Area
B. Applying for Top Universities, a Successful Case
C. Recalling Her Daughter, a Journalist Killed in Syria
D. Choosing Lifelong Careers Based on Your Own Interest

The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers(广告商), readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor(主编) of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you ', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guandian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”
Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.
93. What can we learn about the New England Courant
A. It is mainly about the stock market.
B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.
C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.
D. It carries articles by political leaders.
94. What can we infer about the newspaper editors
A. They often accept readers' suggestions.
B. They care a lot about each other's health.
C. They stop doing business with advertisers.
D. They face great difficulties in their business.
95. Which of the following found a new way for its development
A. The Washington Post. B. The Guardian.
C. The New York Times. D. New England Courant.
96. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers
A. Satisfied. B. Hopeful. C. Worried. D. Surprised.
D
What's black and white and read all over Not newspapers, at least not anymore. In fact, if you're like most young people, you probably don't read the newspaper at all.
In one recent survey, just 19 percent of 18-to-34-year-olds said they read a newspaper every day, while 37 percent watch local TV news and 44 percent visit Internet news sites daily. As people turn more and more to new technologies, they turn the pages of newspapers less and less.
"There's a revolution(革命) in the way young people get news," says media consultant Merrill Brown.
Just a generation(一代人) or two ago, the newspaper was the main way that many people got their news. Now, nearly every home has at least one TV set. There's high-speed, wireless Internet both at home and in many public places.
You no longer have to wait for, a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning. Thanks to new technology, if you want to know what's going on in the world, you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one.
So newspaper face a very big challenge. Raised on MTV and video games, today's kids and young adults want flashy displays, special effects , quick information, and the chance to interact(互动) in real time, even when they're reading about serious problems.
If newspaper can't find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest, they might disappear completely.
Traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end, lack(缺乏) of interaction. With Web pages, on the other hand, there's more freedom. You can look through the things you're interested in, then follow links to other sources. You can join discussion groups, read other people's opinions on a topic, or start a blog to express your own views.
97. This passage is mainly about .
A. the disappearing newspaper B. different news sources
C. the future of the Internet D. the new technologies
98. From the survey, we can see that .
A. TV has become the major source of news
B. newspapers are no longer the major source of news
C. more than half of the 18-to-34-year-olds visit news sites daily
D. new technologies have replaced the traditional one
99. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the disadvantage of newspapers
A. High price B. Lack of changes
C. Slow speed D. Lack of interaction
100. The author of the passage would probably think the future of newspapers is .
A. attractive B. bright C. hopeless D. uncertain
八、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）
What do you know about the standard of living of a country It actually means how much of the goods and services the country produces for an average person to share. 101. Obviously, the first factor is its ability to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense doesn't refer to money. It's because we don't live on money but on things that money can buy, "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.
There are various factors that determine a country's ability to produce wealth. They affect one another. Wealth depends greatly on a country's natural resources. 102. Some regions of the world are rich in natural resources with a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of them; some, unfortunately, possess none. The USA has everything listed above. 103. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.
Also, the ability to put natural resources to use counts, which goes without saying.
104. As we see, old countries that have trained so many skilled workers over centuries are better at producing wealth than those whose workers are mainly unskilled.
Besides, with their wealth increasing, people have more for saving and can put their savings into factories and machines, which, in turn, will help workers to produce more goods. 105.
A. That means wealth itself also produces wealth.
B. No wonder it is one of the wealthiest regions of the world.
C. Natural resources are equally distributed around the world.
D. And next comes the technical efficiency of a country's people.
E. You may ask what factors contribute to a country's standard of living.
F. They include coal, oil, gas, gold, other minerals, water supply and so on.
G. But that doesn't make it a most wealthy country because it's often hit by disasters.
