3. How to become a journalist? 如何成为一名记者
考试时，在阅读理解或书面表达中可能要求我们阅读招聘启示或根据招聘启事写应聘信等，那么学习下面的段落并学会其中的重要表达会很有益处。
1）How difficult is it to get a job as a journalist?
You’ll probably need luck and persistence, but you’ll need a reasonable dose of those in doing the job too. I don’t think it’s harder than getting a job as a teacher or engineer. If you want to be a big name and front the TV news or hit the broadsheet cover pages, it’s going to take more work. But you’ll probably have to start at the same place.
注释：
persistence坚持不懈 dose 量，苦药 a big name很好的声望 front 位于......的前面
hit the broadsheet cover pages 登上报纸的封面页
2) What training should I take to be a journalist?
If you’re choosing a degree, it might make most sense to choose a non-media degree. That gives you a specialism to write about and you can always pick up the media training later. There are a lot of companies offering on the job training. The deal here is usually that they exploit you for the work, and you exploit them for the training. As long as they give you a real chance to learn
quickly, they’re a cheaper way to start than paying for a course.
注释：
degree 学位 specialism 专攻 deal 交易；协议 exploit 剥削，开发
3) What’s the best way to get into journalism?
By doing it. Once you have a piece published, you’re able to work your way up by sending copies of that with article proposals to editors on slightly bigger and/or more prestigious publications until you’re where you want to be. You can also write for local free sheets (which often won’t pay, but will give you a printed credit) and websites.
注释：
journalism 新闻业 work one’s way up 不断向上 proposal 提议 prestigious 有声望的
4) What can I do to become more employable?
* Learn?photography.
* Learn HTML. It’s the language that websites are made of.
* Learn a foreign language.
* Make relevant contacts.
* Get work experience on the local paper or local radio station.
* Read widely.
* Keep up with media industry news.
注释：
relevant contacts 相关的社会关系 ■

写作运用
新闻报道
新闻报道属于说明类或记叙类的文章，是对最近发生的重点事实的报道。它需具有迅速、及时、简短、明了的特点。
如何写好新闻稿？
1. 新闻稿件的语言：
新闻报道的语言要平实、客观，不必追求过分花哨的词汇和过于复杂的句型。
2. 新闻稿件的要素
一篇新闻稿要包括五个“W”和一个“H”，即“when，where，who, what, why”和“how”。
3. 新闻报道的结构
一般来说，标题、导语和主体是构成新闻报道的必不可少的三部分。
标题是新闻的眼睛，标题拟的好，可以吸引读者。
导语是消息开头的第一段或第一句话，常包含what（事件）、when（时间）、where（地点）和who（人物），它必须简明、生动，扼要地揭示出消息的核心内容。
主体是消息的主要部分，它用充足的事实表现主题，是对导语内容的进一步展开和阐释。在此部分，一般要补充事件的过程和细节，往往包括why（目的或原因）和how（具体过程）等。
新闻报道的结语一般是最后一句话或者一段话，通常对全文内容作概括性的总结，或对新闻事件的发展趋势做出预测。有时，作者根据报道的事实在结语中提出令人深思的问题。
4. 优化文章结构
要尽量详略得当，层次分明，条理清晰。

三、阅读理解
阅读短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳答案。
Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉)．
ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception．It may be called a sixth sense．It seems to let people know about events before they happen，or events that are happening some distance away．
Here’s an example．A woman was ironing clothes．Suddenly she screamed，“My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!”Just then，a telegram came．The woman’s father died of a heart attack．He died sitting in a chair．
There are thousands of stories like this one on record．Scientists are studying them to find out what’s behind these strange mental messages．Here’s another example — one of hundreds of dreams that have come true．
A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by．The driver said．“There’s room for one more．” The man felt the driver seemed dead，so he ran away．The next day，when the man was getting on a crowded bus，the bus driver said，“There’s room for one more．”
Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream．He wouldn’t get on the bus．As the bus drove off，it crashed and burst into flames．Everyone was killed!
Some people say stories like these are coincidences．Others，including some scientists，say that ESP is real．From studies of ESP，we may someday learn more about the human mind．
1．According to the passage，the author believes that the sixth sense is ________．
A．in existence B．imaginative C．not real D．impossible
2．ESP lets people know ________．
A．about events before they happen
B．about events after they happen
C．about events that are happening some distance away
D．A and C
3．The example of the man shows the ability to ______.
A．avoid traffic accidents
B．judge the good and bad of a person
C．know the bus driver is not a good driver
D．sense a danger that will actually happen later on
4．In the last paragraph the underlined word“coincidences”probably means ________．
A．things that may not happen B．things that happen by accident
C．things that must happen D．things that happen in a dream
5．The best title of this passage is ______.
A．A Sixth Sense B．The Human Mind C．A Big Lie D．A Terrible Dream
四、 选词填空

答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. D。end up with 以......而告终/结束。concentrate on 专心于，将......集中于；contribute to 为......捐献，有助于，引起；keep up with 跟上，不落下。句意：入睡前想点好的事情，最后你会做个好梦的。
2. C。seldom位于句首，主谓部分倒装；他初学骑自行车时很少摔下来，when引导的从句表明主句用一般过去时表示过去某时发生的事。
3. A。demand（要求）接的宾语从句中，谓语动词要用should加动词原形，其中should可省略，这是一种虚拟语气。
4. B。句意：很明显女孩同意这个古老的说法，虽然不是完全同意。thoroughly 完全地；widely 广泛地；accurately 准确地；instantly 立刻。
5. B。accuse sb.of sth. 指责某人某事，而介词后接的是what引导的宾语从句，表示“他在会上所说的话”。charge sb. with sth. 指控某人某事。
6. A。句意：她花了很长一段时间来获得一名著名的运动员所需要的技巧。acquire 获得；inquire 询问，问明，查究； require 要求，需要；request 请求。
7. A。句意：---玛丽在宴会上很开心。---她确实很开心，我也一样。如果要肯定前面的说法，so置于句首时不用倒装，前后句谈论的是同一个人；如果表示前一种情况也适合于另一个人，so置于句首，句子用部分倒装。
8. C。句意：我不赞成你看事物的方式。confirm 证实；approve 作及物动词，意为“批准”；approve of 赞成。
9. B。句意：我的朋友约翰经常帮助我的学习，而且我已取得很大进步。assist sb. with sth.帮助某人做某事；progress为不可数名词，不加a，也没有复数。
10. A。第二空的四个选项都有“故意地”意思；in order to可以放在句首，so as to不可以放在句首，而so that连接从句，as to意思是“关于”，因此选A。句意：为了避免可能的尴尬，汤姆遇到前女友时故意不理她。
11. D。polish 擦亮，润色；rewrite 改写。句意：你的文章的观点很新颖，但是语言需要一点润色。从句意可知，语言方面需要写的更有文采一点，而不是需要改写，因此选polish。而语言与polish是被动关系的，在need后可以用polishing或to be polished两种形式作宾语表示被动。
12. C。not until+状语（从句）位于句首，主语的主谓部分倒装；know的动作发生在told之后，排除D。自然语序应是：I didn’t know anything about it until you told me what had happened.注意用倒装句时didn’t know的not已经提前，排除A。
13. B。含有no的短语in no case和at no time位于句首，句子的主谓部分倒装，因此选B。in no case 无论如何不，决不；at no time 从不。句意：我永远忘不了你为我们做的事，我也决不会忘记你的善意。
14. A。get through 完成，通过；get off 离开，动身；get into 进入，陷入；get down 下来，写下。句意：她无法在这样短的时间内做完这么多的工作。
15. D。gifted 是形容词，意为“有天赋的”。have a gift for 是固定短语，意为“有......方面的天赋/才能”。
二、完形填空
1．B。exactly 意为：确切地说、刚好，符合题意。mostly 大部分，多半；simply 简单地，仅仅。
2．A。这位校长在听老师解释他的高年级学生要学习的东西，而不是预测（predict）；speak的宾语一般是某种语言，而teach常用teach sb. sth.。
3．D。take/make a journey 去旅行，做一次旅行，是固定搭配。
4．C。这位校长仿佛回到了过去，想知道（wonder）下面将如何继续。
5．D。作者认为：Dr. Offutt教给我思考，不仅通过语言，也以身作则，还使他信服（convince）这样做并为他人服务是我的道德方面的责任。assist 帮助；remind 提醒；advise 劝说。作者认可老师的观点，所以用convince。
6．A。根据上题解析的句意可知。
7．C。此处表示泛指“其他人”，所以用others。the others表示某一特定范围内除了一部分外所有其他的。选项B、D不合题意。
8．A。此句是本段的首句，也是主题句，下文列举了作者和Dr. Offutt之间关系的变化过程和Dr. Offutt在不同的时期给作者的帮助，并且从下文“and our relationship changed 10 ．”也可推知，此处选A。 relationship 意为“关系”。
9．B。name 此处意为“指定”、“命名”。句意：我被指定为系主席（chair）......
10．D。“我”开始时为Dr. Offutt工作，然后我自己成了系主席，所以我们的关系又一次变化。
11．D。因为作者以前老师都在系里，所以感觉自己也做教授可能会是有争议的或很有挑战性（challenging）。
12．C。从下文可知，Dr. Offutt自始至终地支持（supported）我，不仅仅是接受（accepted）和欢迎。注意throughout（自始至终地）。promote 意为“提拔”，不合题意。
13．A。Dr. Offutt 给“我”有关课程、课本和人事等方面的建议（advice）。
14．D。作者以为Dr. Offutt会让他留下，但是他却让“我”抓住机会。所以用“相反”、“反而”。
15．B。从上文情节和动词seize可知。
16．B。从第一段可知，作者后来又回来做了DeMatha的校长。
17．C。从上下文可知，Dr. Offutt一直在帮助作者，所以选C。
18．D。伟大的老师有“取之不尽的”课程资源的财富。选项A、C有干扰性，但是不如endless能更好地与great呼应。
19．B。even if引导让步状语从句，表示“即使、纵然”。意思是虽然学生还不知道，可作者早已明白。
20．A。作者认为学生拥有良师无比“幸运（fortunate）”，因为作者对Dr. Offutt这样的老师会永远铭记在心的。
三、阅读理解
1．A。细节推断题。从短文中作者提出问题、举例说明，最后一段总结，尤其最后一句的肯定，可以感知作者认为“第六感”是存在的。
2．D。细节理解题。从第二段最后一句可知。
3．D。细节推断题。从短文内容可知，第六感主要是对未来或远处发生的事的感知能力，所以选D（感知稍后要发生的危险的能力）。
4．B。从上述举例可以看出，这些事情不是可能不会发生的事，也不是一定发生的事，更不是梦中的事，排除A、C、D。所以选B。
5．A。全文主要讲述了人们对ESP的认识，从第二段第二个句子可知ESP又被称为第六感觉。因此最好的标题为A。
四、选词填空
1. picked up 2. What if 3. suit 4. decide on 5. convenient
6. announce 7. keep up with 8. put out 9. in charge of 10. destroyed
五、书面表达
Last Sunday, the students in our class went to visit the children at a local orphanage. As one of the volunteers, I took part in the activities. We took many books that are popular among children, as well as many kinds of school supplies and toys, to the children. They were delighted to receive these gifts. In the morning, we played some games. Then we cooked lunch together. In the afternoon we gave performances. Before leaving the orphanage we had our photos taken with the children and gave them our contact details so we could keep in touch with one another.
That day, each one of us had an enjoyable time. We gave the children our care and help; in return, they gave us their smiles and love.

3. How to become a journalist? 如何成为一名记者
考试时，在阅读理解或书面表达中可能要求我们阅读招聘启示或根据招聘启事写应聘信等，那么学习下面的段落并学会其中的重要表达会很有益处。
1）How difficult is it to get a job as a journalist?
You’ll probably need luck and persistence, but you’ll need a reasonable dose of those in doing the job too. I don’t think it’s harder than getting a job as a teacher or engineer. If you want to be a big name and front the TV news or hit the broadsheet cover pages, it’s going to take more work. But you’ll probably have to start at the same place.
注释：
persistence坚持不懈 dose 量，苦药 a big name很好的声望 front 位于......的前面
hit the broadsheet cover pages 登上报纸的封面页
2) What training should I take to be a journalist?
If you’re choosing a degree, it might make most sense to choose a non-media degree. That gives you a specialism to write about and you can always pick up the media training later. There are a lot of companies offering on the job training. The deal here is usually that they exploit you for the work, and you exploit them for the training. As long as they give you a real chance to learn
quickly, they’re a cheaper way to start than paying for a course.
注释：
degree 学位 specialism 专攻 deal 交易；协议 exploit 剥削，开发
3) What’s the best way to get into journalism?
By doing it. Once you have a piece published, you’re able to work your way up by sending copies of that with article proposals to editors on slightly bigger and/or more prestigious publications until you’re where you want to be. You can also write for local free sheets (which often won’t pay, but will give you a printed credit) and websites.
注释：
journalism 新闻业 work one’s way up 不断向上 proposal 提议 prestigious 有声望的
4) What can I do to become more employable?
* Learn?photography.
* Learn HTML. It’s the language that websites are made of.
* Learn a foreign language.
* Make relevant contacts.
* Get work experience on the local paper or local radio station.
* Read widely.
* Keep up with media industry news.
注释：
relevant contacts 相关的社会关系 ■

写作运用
新闻报道
新闻报道属于说明类或记叙类的文章，是对最近发生的重点事实的报道。它需具有迅速、及时、简短、明了的特点。
如何写好新闻稿？
1. 新闻稿件的语言：
新闻报道的语言要平实、客观，不必追求过分花哨的词汇和过于复杂的句型。
2. 新闻稿件的要素
一篇新闻稿要包括五个“W”和一个“H”，即“when，where，who, what, why”和“how”。
3. 新闻报道的结构
一般来说，标题、导语和主体是构成新闻报道的必不可少的三部分。
标题是新闻的眼睛，标题拟的好，可以吸引读者。
导语是消息开头的第一段或第一句话，常包含what（事件）、when（时间）、where（地点）和who（人物），它必须简明、生动，扼要地揭示出消息的核心内容。
主体是消息的主要部分，它用充足的事实表现主题，是对导语内容的进一步展开和阐释。在此部分，一般要补充事件的过程和细节，往往包括why（目的或原因）和how（具体过程）等。
新闻报道的结语一般是最后一句话或者一段话，通常对全文内容作概括性的总结，或对新闻事件的发展趋势做出预测。有时，作者根据报道的事实在结语中提出令人深思的问题。
4. 优化文章结构
要尽量详略得当，层次分明，条理清晰。

三、阅读理解
阅读短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳答案。
Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉)．
ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception．It may be called a sixth sense．It seems to let people know about events before they happen，or events that are happening some distance away．
Here’s an example．A woman was ironing clothes．Suddenly she screamed，“My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!”Just then，a telegram came．The woman’s father died of a heart attack．He died sitting in a chair．
There are thousands of stories like this one on record．Scientists are studying them to find out what’s behind these strange mental messages．Here’s another example — one of hundreds of dreams that have come true．
A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by．The driver said．“There’s room for one more．” The man felt the driver seemed dead，so he ran away．The next day，when the man was getting on a crowded bus，the bus driver said，“There’s room for one more．”
Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream．He wouldn’t get on the bus．As the bus drove off，it crashed and burst into flames．Everyone was killed!
Some people say stories like these are coincidences．Others，including some scientists，say that ESP is real．From studies of ESP，we may someday learn more about the human mind．
1．According to the passage，the author believes that the sixth sense is ________．
A．in existence B．imaginative C．not real D．impossible
2．ESP lets people know ________．
A．about events before they happen
B．about events after they happen
C．about events that are happening some distance away
D．A and C
3．The example of the man shows the ability to ______.
A．avoid traffic accidents
B．judge the good and bad of a person
C．know the bus driver is not a good driver
D．sense a danger that will actually happen later on
4．In the last paragraph the underlined word“coincidences”probably means ________．
A．things that may not happen B．things that happen by accident
C．things that must happen D．things that happen in a dream
5．The best title of this passage is ______.
A．A Sixth Sense B．The Human Mind C．A Big Lie D．A Terrible Dream

答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. D。end up with 以......而告终/结束。concentrate on 专心于，将......集中于；contribute to 为......捐献，有助于，引起；keep up with 跟上，不落下。句意：入睡前想点好的事情，最后你会做个好梦的。
2. C。seldom位于句首，主谓部分倒装；他初学骑自行车时很少摔下来，when引导的从句表明主句用一般过去时表示过去某时发生的事。
3. A。demand（要求）接的宾语从句中，谓语动词要用should加动词原形，其中should可省略，这是一种虚拟语气。
4. B。句意：很明显女孩同意这个古老的说法，虽然不是完全同意。thoroughly 完全地；widely 广泛地；accurately 准确地；instantly 立刻。
5. B。accuse sb.of sth. 指责某人某事，而介词后接的是what引导的宾语从句，表示“他在会上所说的话”。charge sb. with sth. 指控某人某事。
6. A。句意：她花了很长一段时间来获得一名著名的运动员所需要的技巧。acquire 获得；inquire 询问，问明，查究； require 要求，需要；request 请求。
7. A。句意：---玛丽在宴会上很开心。---她确实很开心，我也一样。如果要肯定前面的说法，so置于句首时不用倒装，前后句谈论的是同一个人；如果表示前一种情况也适合于另一个人，so置于句首，句子用部分倒装。
8. C。句意：我不赞成你看事物的方式。confirm 证实；approve 作及物动词，意为“批准”；approve of 赞成。
9. B。句意：我的朋友约翰经常帮助我的学习，而且我已取得很大进步。assist sb. with sth.帮助某人做某事；progress为不可数名词，不加a，也没有复数。
10. A。第二空的四个选项都有“故意地”意思；in order to可以放在句首，so as to不可以放在句首，而so that连接从句，as to意思是“关于”，因此选A。句意：为了避免可能的尴尬，汤姆遇到前女友时故意不理她。
11. D。polish 擦亮，润色；rewrite 改写。句意：你的文章的观点很新颖，但是语言需要一点润色。从句意可知，语言方面需要写的更有文采一点，而不是需要改写，因此选polish。而语言与polish是被动关系的，在need后可以用polishing或to be polished两种形式作宾语表示被动。
12. C。not until+状语（从句）位于句首，主语的主谓部分倒装；know的动作发生在told之后，排除D。自然语序应是：I didn’t know anything about it until you told me what had happened.注意用倒装句时didn’t know的not已经提前，排除A。
13. B。含有no的短语in no case和at no time位于句首，句子的主谓部分倒装，因此选B。in no case 无论如何不，决不；at no time 从不。句意：我永远忘不了你为我们做的事，我也决不会忘记你的善意。
14. A。get through 完成，通过；get off 离开，动身；get into 进入，陷入；get down 下来，写下。句意：她无法在这样短的时间内做完这么多的工作。
15. D。gifted 是形容词，意为“有天赋的”。have a gift for 是固定短语，意为“有......方面的天赋/才能”。
二、完形填空
1．B。exactly 意为：确切地说、刚好，符合题意。mostly 大部分，多半；simply 简单地，仅仅。
2．A。这位校长在听老师解释他的高年级学生要学习的东西，而不是预测（predict）；speak的宾语一般是某种语言，而teach常用teach sb. sth.。
3．D。take/make a journey 去旅行，做一次旅行，是固定搭配。
4．C。这位校长仿佛回到了过去，想知道（wonder）下面将如何继续。
5．D。作者认为：Dr. Offutt教给我思考，不仅通过语言，也以身作则，还使他信服（convince）这样做并为他人服务是我的道德方面的责任。assist 帮助；remind 提醒；advise 劝说。作者认可老师的观点，所以用convince。
6．A。根据上题解析的句意可知。
7．C。此处表示泛指“其他人”，所以用others。the others表示某一特定范围内除了一部分外所有其他的。选项B、D不合题意。
8．A。此句是本段的首句，也是主题句，下文列举了作者和Dr. Offutt之间关系的变化过程和Dr. Offutt在不同的时期给作者的帮助，并且从下文“and our relationship changed 10 ．”也可推知，此处选A。 relationship 意为“关系”。
9．B。name 此处意为“指定”、“命名”。句意：我被指定为系主席（chair）......
10．D。“我”开始时为Dr. Offutt工作，然后我自己成了系主席，所以我们的关系又一次变化。
11．D。因为作者以前老师都在系里，所以感觉自己也做教授可能会是有争议的或很有挑战性（challenging）。
12．C。从下文可知，Dr. Offutt自始至终地支持（supported）我，不仅仅是接受（accepted）和欢迎。注意throughout（自始至终地）。promote 意为“提拔”，不合题意。
13．A。Dr. Offutt 给“我”有关课程、课本和人事等方面的建议（advice）。
14．D。作者以为Dr. Offutt会让他留下，但是他却让“我”抓住机会。所以用“相反”、“反而”。
15．B。从上文情节和动词seize可知。
16．B。从第一段可知，作者后来又回来做了DeMatha的校长。
17．C。从上下文可知，Dr. Offutt一直在帮助作者，所以选C。
18．D。伟大的老师有“取之不尽的”课程资源的财富。选项A、C有干扰性，但是不如endless能更好地与great呼应。
19．B。even if引导让步状语从句，表示“即使、纵然”。意思是虽然学生还不知道，可作者早已明白。
20．A。作者认为学生拥有良师无比“幸运（fortunate）”，因为作者对Dr. Offutt这样的老师会永远铭记在心的。
三、阅读理解
1．A。细节推断题。从短文中作者提出问题、举例说明，最后一段总结，尤其最后一句的肯定，可以感知作者认为“第六感”是存在的。
2．D。细节理解题。从第二段最后一句可知。
3．D。细节推断题。从短文内容可知，第六感主要是对未来或远处发生的事的感知能力，所以选D（感知稍后要发生的危险的能力）。
4．B。从上述举例可以看出，这些事情不是可能不会发生的事，也不是一定发生的事，更不是梦中的事，排除A、C、D。所以选B。
5．A。全文主要讲述了人们对ESP的认识，从第二段第二个句子可知ESP又被称为第六感觉。因此最好的标题为A。
四、选词填空
1. picked up 2. What if 3. suit 4. decide on 5. convenient
6. announce 7. keep up with 8. put out 9. in charge of 10. destroyed
五、书面表达
Last Sunday, the students in our class went to visit the children at a local orphanage. As one of the volunteers, I took part in the activities. We took many books that are popular among children, as well as many kinds of school supplies and toys, to the children. They were delighted to receive these gifts. In the morning, we played some games. Then we cooked lunch together. In the afternoon we gave performances. Before leaving the orphanage we had our photos taken with the children and gave them our contact details so we could keep in touch with one another.
That day, each one of us had an enjoyable time. We gave the children our care and help; in return, they gave us their smiles and love.
