1.A.searched        B.made
C.corrected D.printed
答案:D 句意:每天要印刷(print)许多报纸。newspaper和动词print之间是被动关系,“报纸被印刷”,故选D项。
2.A.copy B.write
C.provide D.take
答案:C 句意:报纸需要给人们提供所有最新的新闻。provide sb. with sth.意为“向某人提供某物”,也可以用provide sth. for sb.表示。其他选项无此用法。
3.A.search B.charge
C.front D.face
答案:B 句意:编辑负责报纸。in charge of sth.是固定搭配,意为“负责、管理某事”,符合题意。in search of“寻找,寻求”;in front of“在……前面”;in face of“面临,在……面前,不顾”,均不符合题意。
4.A.see B.search
C.find D.look up
答案:C 句意:记者发掘新闻,然后写下来。see“看到”;search“搜寻,查找”;find“找到,发现”;look up“查阅”,一般指在现存的资料中查找,只有C项符合题意。
5.A.in B.on
C.at D.with
答案:B 句意:报纸印刷出来以便每天早晨出售。on sale意为“出售”,是固定词组,符合题意。in一般不直接与sale连用,中间需添加冠词构成in a sale“热卖”;at sale意为“折价”,不符合题意;with不与sale搭配连用。
6.A.phone B.say
C.tell D.talk
答案:A 句意:当有趣的事情发生时,人们便会给编辑打电话告诉他们。phone up sb.等于call up sb.,意为“给某人打电话”,其中up可省略。空处与下文第三段The reporter phones the newspaper to tell the story.中的phone呈原词复现关系。B、C项不与up连用;talk up意为“大胆讲,引人入胜地讨论”,不符合题意。
7.A.is reaching B.is coming
C.is happening D.is telling
答案:C 根据常识可知,报纸的新闻就是突出时效性、突发性,故用现在进行时态更能体现新闻的特色,表示趣闻正在发生(happen)的时候,人们便给编辑打电话,这两个动作同时进行,故选C项。
8.A.much B.many
C.more D.most
答案:C 这句话中的it指代前文的something interesting。编辑派出记者和摄影师去寻找更多有关趣闻的信息,空后省略了information一词。四个选项中只有more符合题意。其中find out是固定词组,意为“找出,查明”。
9.A.on B.out
C.up D.off
答案:B 记者电话联系报社,讲述事情来由,然后由打字员把报道打出来。type out是固定词组,表示:用打字机或文字处理机打印某文稿。
10.A.take out B.take in
C.take up D.take off
答案:C 接下来,编辑决定需要给这篇报道留多大的版面。重要的新闻会“占据”(take up)很大的版面。take up意为“占据”,符合题意。take out“取出,除去”;take in“接受”;take off“脱下;起飞”,均不符合题意。
11.A.make up B.made of
C.made into D.make out
答案:C 文章被输入电脑,然后制成打印版。be made into“……被制成……”,符合题意。本句话中typed into a computer与made into print共用一个主语the stories和be动词,即the stories are made into print。
12.A.find B.corrects
C.looks up D.look for
答案:B 另外一个编辑纠正错误。根据常识可知,编辑不仅仅是需要发现(find)、寻找(look for)错误,还需要纠正、修改(correct)错误。
13.A.puts B.putting
C.put D.to put
答案:C put in是固定词组,意为“放进;提交”。The stories与动词put是被动关系,即报道被放置到报纸上,然后印刷。只有C项符合语法要求。
14.A.delivers B.delivering
C.delivered D.deliver
答案:C 主语the newspapers与动词deliver是被动关系,即报纸被运送,故选C项。
15.A.It B.Them
C.They D.Their
答案:C 报纸被运往全国各地。空处指的是前句the newspapers,故应用代词they表示。
16.A.paper B.papers
C.news D.stories
答案:B 根据谓语动词arrive可知,空处应为名词的复数形式。newspapers与papers都可指报纸。
17.A.come down B.come into
C.come up D.come out
答案:D 并非所有报纸都每天出版(come out)。四个选项:come down“下来,倒塌”;come into“进来”;come up“出现;上升”;come out“出版;出现”,只有D项符合题意。
18.A.to report B.reports
C.report D.reporting
答案:C 当地报纸报道国家各个地方的新闻。report意为“报道”,主语是local newspapers,属于复数形式,故谓语动词应该用动词原形,只有C项符合题意。
19.A.on B.in
C.with D.of
答案:B 从事周报工作的人不必如此匆忙。in a hurry是固定搭配,意为“匆忙”。
20.A.stay B.fly
C.travel D.walk
答案:C 有时记者“周游”(travel)世界各地去报道新闻,而不是“步行”(walk)、“停留”(stay)或“飞往”(fly)世界各地,故只有C项符合题意。www.21-cn-jy.com
Ⅵ.阅读理解
A good newspaper has many colorful sections and gives the reader different kinds of information. It contains world and local news, school news, interviews, sports, entertainment, interesting stories and pictures. Planning for such a good weekly newspaper takes a lot of time.【出处:21教育名师】
Usually the editors(编辑)hold short(sometimes very long)meetings each week. The chief(主要的) editor takes charge(掌管)of the meetings. He/She meets with other editors and reporters, discusses story ideas, makes suggestions and gives tasks.
An editor usually uses a ladder to show what will go on a page, and makes a list of each reporter's tasks. Of course, editors also take notes of the decisions at the meetings.
At many newspapers,the editor has a lot of work to do. He/She should not only write articles, but also check and publish the readers' letters and do the layout(版面设计)of the newspaper.
After a story is written, the reporter or editor should turn in the story, and then either another editor or a person with a lot of experience will read it carefully and double-check(复核) the facts. If there is any problem, the two will talk it over with each other and see how to solve it.
After a story is edited,it will be put on its page along with its pictures.

A.To teach the reporters how to write articles.
B.To check the readers' letters.
C.To do the layout of the newspaper.
D. To double-check the facts of the story.
答案:A 细节判断题。根据倒数第二、三段中“He/She should not only write articles, but also check and publish the readers' letters and do the layout(版面设计)of the newspaper. After a story is written,the reporter or editor should turn in the story,and then either another editor or a person with a lot of experience will read it carefully and double-check(复核)the facts. ”可知不会教记者怎么写文章。

Ⅵ.阅读理解
A
If there is one thing I'm sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.21教育网
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因的) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.21教育名师原创作品
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I'm pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sport and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体).They actually feed_off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
1.In the writer's opinion,in the future, ________.
A.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C.newspapers will cover more scientific research
D. more and more people will watch TV
答案:C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第三句“I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.”可知C项正确;而其他三项均不符合文章内容,故排除。
2.From the passage,we can infer that ________.
A.newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B.newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C.television will take the place of the newspaper
D. the writer believes some media will die out
答案:B 细节理解题。通读文章可知在将来,报纸与其他媒体形式会并存,不会消失,故B项答案正确;而其他三项均与文章内容相悖,故排除。
3.The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means“________”.
A.depend on B.compete with
C.fight with D.kill off
答案:A 词义猜测题。作者在前一句提到人们认为各种不同媒体之间是相互竞争的关系是错误的,而根据本句中的actually一词,及后一句“有人曾预言电视会取代报纸,但那从来没有发生过。”可以推出此处表示各种媒体互相依存,故答案选A项。
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Best Way to Get News. B.The Changes of Media.
C.Make Your Own newspaper. D. The Future of Newspaper.
答案:D 主旨大意题。本文主要对报纸这一新闻媒体进行了论述,作者指出报纸至少在一百年内都不会消失,并在文中对未来报纸的内容、形式进行了介绍,故D项作本文的题目最合适。
B
Visitors to Britain are sometimes surprised to learnthat newspapers there have such a large circulation(发行量). The Daily Mirror and the Daily Express both sellabout four million copies everyday. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three onSundays.21*cnjy*com
Besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the British press which sells almost as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own finance(财政)and many of them are very profitable(赚钱的).
These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events—births, weddings, deaths, council(地方会议)meetings and sports. Editors prefer to rely on people who know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out to date as quickly as national news.

But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to draw local readers, the businessmen are grateful for the opportunity (机会) to keep their products in the public eyes.

Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment(娱乐) to information.www.21-cn-jy.com
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times. It began in 1785,and has a high reputation(名声)for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent(独立的) paper,which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the newspaper.
Letters to the editor are printed in parts of the newspaper. These parts of The Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are on serious subjects, but from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people,compared with the manners of thirty years ago.21·世纪*教育网
