电视新闻是怎么制作出来的呢?获得第一手的新闻,在新闻行业中脱颖而出是不容易的。下面让我们来了解一下成为一名电视新闻记者要具备的条件吧!
Work as a TV News Reporter
A TV news reporter is required to have some formal education. Learn about the education, job duties and necessary skills to see if this is the right career for you.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS), many TV news employers require applicants to have bachelor’s degrees in journalism, mass communication or a related field. Broadcast journalism students take classes like reporting and editing, media law and ethics, broadcast writing and TV production. Mass communication students take courses on legal issues in the media, communication and cultural communication technology, public speaking and interpersonal communication. Students in both fields are typically required to complete writing courses.
Many big-city news station employers don’t hire someone who has no experience, according to the BLS. The best way to gain experience as a student is by working at a college broadcasting station or through
internships(实习期). Duties may include producing content and assisting with local TV productions.
Television news reporters typically have a background in journalism, which provides the skills and abilities to interpret(解释) and present newsworthy(有报道价值的) topics to the public. TV news reporters are supposed to have good interpersonal skills because they spend much of their time interviewing people. Additionally, they need to have good verbal(口头的) skills and be able to keep calm during chaotic(混沌的) circumstances.
Television news reporters often work flexible and unpredictable hours that require them to cover breaking news at any time of the day or night. News stations constantly compete to report events first, which creates a fast-paced and often stressful environment.
General assignment TV news reporters who report on a variety of topics must be well-informed on a variety of current events and topics that may range from social to economic issues. TV news reporters who are asked to go to a specific area, like the healthcare center or sports, may be required to have much knowledge of that field.

MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT①
“Unforgettable②”,says new journalist③
Never will Zhou Yang(ZY) forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper.His discussion with his new boss, Hu Xin(HX), was to strongly influence his life as a journalist.
◆“Never...newspaper”为部分倒装句。表示否定意义的副词never位于句首时,句子要用部分倒装结构,即把助动词/be动词/情态动词移至主语前。
◆was to do sth.表示“必将/注定做某事”。be to do sth.可以表示将来。
HX:Welcome.We’re delighted④ you’re coming to work with us.Your first job here will be an assistant⑤ journalist.Do you have any questions?
ZY:Can I go out on a story immediately⑥?
HX:(laughing)That’s admirable⑦, but I’m afraid it would be unusual⑧!Wait till you’re more experienced⑨.First we’ll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist.Later you can coverB10 a story and submit?the article yourself.
◆you’re coming为现在进行时表示将来。
ZY:Wonderful.What do I need to take with me?I already have a notebook and camera.
HX:No need for a camera.You’ll have a professional? photographer? with you to take photographs?.You’ll find your colleagues? very eager? to assist? you, so you may be able to concentrate on? photography? later if you’re interested.
ZY:Thank you.Not only am I interested in photography, but I took an amateur? courseB21 at university to updateB22 my skills.
HX:Good.
◆动词不定式短语to take photographs作目的状语。
◆find your colleagues very eager为“find+宾语+宾补”结构,宾补由形容词eager充当。
◆if you’re interested为if引导的条件状语从句。
◆本句为“Not only+部分倒装句,but(also)+陈述句”结构。
ZY:What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story?
HX:You need to be curious.Only if you ask many different questions will you acquireB23 all the information you need to know.We say a good journalist must have a good “nose” forB24 a story.That means you must be able to assessB25 when people are not telling the whole truth and then try to discover it.They must use research to informB26 themselves of the missing parts of the story.
◆“only if”引导的条件状语从句置于句首时,主句用部分倒装结构。you need to know为定语从句,修饰all the information。
◆you must...it为宾语从句,省略了引导词that。when...truth为宾语从句。
ZY:What should I keep in mindB27?
HX:Here comes my list of dos and don’ts:don’t miss your deadlineB28, don’t be rude, don’t talk too much,but make sure you listen to the intervieweeB29carefully.
ZY:Why is listening so important?
HX:Well,you have to listen for detailedB30 facts.MeanwhileB31you have to prepare the next question depending onB32 what the person says.
ZY:But how can I listen carefully while taking notes?
HX:This is a trick of the tradeB33.If the interviewee agrees, you can use a recorder to get the facts straightB34.It’s also useful if a person wants to challengeB35 you.You have the evidence to support your story.
◆Here引起完全倒装。表示地点的副词或介词短语位于句首且主语为名词时,句子用完全倒装结构。dos and don’ts意为“规则;注意事项;行为准则”。
◆depending on...为现在分词短语作状语。what...says为宾语从句,作介词on的宾语。
◆while taking notes为省略句(“连词+分词”结构),while后省略了I am。
ZY:I see!Have you ever had a caseB36 where someone accused your journalists ofB37 getting the wrong end of the stickB38?
HX:Yes,but it was a long time ago.This is how the story goesB39.A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberatelyB40 not scoring goalsB41so as toB42 let the other team win.We went to interview him.He deniedB43taking money but we were scepticalB44.So we arranged an interview between the footballer and the man supposed to bribe him.When we saw them together we guessed from the footballer’s body language that he was not telling the truth.So we wrote an article suggesting he was guiltyB45.It was a dilemmaB46because the footballer could have demandedB47damages if we were wrong.He tried to stop us publishingB48it but later we were proved rightB49.
◆where...stick为定语从句,修饰先行词case。
◆When...together为时间状语从句。
◆that...truth为宾语从句,作guessed的宾语。
◆现在分词短语suggesting he was guilty作article的后置定语。suggest意为“暗示,表明”。
ZY:Wow!That was a real “scoopB50”.I’m looking forward toB51 my first assignment now.Perhaps I’ll get a scoop too!
HX:Perhaps you will.You never know.
我的第一项工作任务
“难以忘怀”,新的记者说
周阳永远不会忘记他在一家受欢迎的英文报社上班时的第一项工作任务。他同新上司胡欣的讨论必将对他(以后)的记者生涯产生很大的影响。
胡欣:欢迎你。非常高兴你来和我们一起工作。你来这儿首先就是当助理记者。有什么问题吗?
周阳:我可以马上出去采访吗?
胡欣:(笑)这值得赞扬,但是恐怕这样就不太合乎常规了!等到你比较有经验以后才行。首先我们要派你给有经验的记者做助手。 以后你就可以自己采访新闻,提交新闻稿了。
周阳:太棒了。我需要带什么?我已经有一个笔记本和一部相机了。
胡欣:不需要相机。你将带上一名专业摄影师去拍照。你将发现你的同事们会很热情地帮助你。因此如果你对摄影感兴趣,也许以后你可以集中精力去钻研。
周阳:谢谢你。对摄影我不仅只是感兴趣,在大学里我还选修过业余摄影课来更新我的摄影技术。
胡欣:很好。
周阳:我外出采访时还需要记住些什么呢?
胡欣:你需要保持好奇心。只有提很多不同的问题,你才能获得你所需要的全部信息。我们说,一个好记者必须对新闻有非常敏锐的“嗅觉”。那就是说,在人们还没有说出全部真相之前,你就要能够做出判断,并力求发现真相。他们必须通过调查研究来获悉被遗漏的那部分情况。
周阳:我还要注意些什么呢?
胡欣:下面是我的行为准则:不要超过最后期限,不可对人粗鲁,不可自己说得太多,但是务必认真倾听被采访人的回答。
周阳:为什么倾听这么重要呢?
胡欣:你得听清楚事实的细节。同时,你还要根据被采访人所说的话准备提出下一个问题。
周阳:但是我在做记录的同时如何仔细倾听呢?
胡欣:这就是我们这个行业的诀窍了。如果被采访人允许,你可以使用录音机录下全部事实。如果有人提出质疑,这也是有用的。你就有证据来支持你的报道。
周阳:我明白了!你们有没有遇到过这样的情况:别人控告你们的记者们,说他(她)们的报道完全失实?
胡欣:有,不过这是很久以前的事了。事情是这样的:一位足球运动员被指控受贿,故意不进球,好让别的队赢球。我们去采访了他。他否认受贿,但我们很怀疑。 因此我们为足球运动员和那个被认为行贿的人安排了一场采访。 当我们看见他们在一起时,从足球运动员的肢体语言我们猜出他没有说出真相。所以我们写了一篇文章暗示他曾受贿。这陷入了一个窘境,因为如果我们错了,这位足球运动员就可以向我们索要赔偿。他试图阻止我们公布该消息,但后来我们被证明是对的。
周阳:哇!那真是独家新闻。我现在盼望得到第一个任务。或许我也能找到独家新闻!
胡欣:你也许会。谁知道呢。

The Gilroy Garlic(大蒜) Festival started with a “crazy idea” by Dr. Rudy Melone.
In 1978, Melone, the President of Gavilan College in Gilroy, read an article in a newspaper which was about a small town in France. The town hosted a garlic festival every year and regarded itself as the “Garlic Capital of the World”. He doubted that Gilroy’s garlic production and processing were far greater. In fact, Christopher Ranch was then the largest shipper of garlic in the world.
So Melone set about trying to convince Christopher Ranch’s owner Don Christopher, to host a garlic festival of their own. At first, the idea seemed crazy. Outside of Italian families, garlic at the time was considered an esoteric material. It wasn’t something thought to be normal and it wasn’t something you generally shared in polite company.
But Melone had passion for Gilroy and garlic. He decided to stick to his idea. He and Christopher hired a local cook, Val Filice, to prepare a meal with a few garlicky dishes. They invited local media and food writers as well. The meal was a success, and the city leaders agreed to support them.
The first Gilroy Garlic Festival was held at Bloomfield Ranch in 1979. Rudy Melone served as the president; Don Christopher supplied all the garlic from his farm; and Val Filice was the head chef. They got about 50 community volunteers to help them and decided to give all profits back to the community. Festival organizers weren’t sure at first if anyone would come, but were quickly shocked by the number of visitors. Despite all the chaos, the first Gilroy Garlic Festival served over 15,000 guests and produced D|S19,000 for the local community.
To date, the Gilroy Garlic Festival has given the city of Gilroy a sense of true community pride as well as worldwide recognition. Not bad for one man’s crazy idea!
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了吉尔罗伊大蒜节的由来。
1.What is Christopher Ranch?

2. What does the underlined word “esoteric” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Very expensive. B.Very strange.
C.Very ordinary. D.Very popular.
B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段的“It wasn’t someting...shared in polite company.”可知,大蒜在当时被认为是很奇怪的东西,并不受欢迎。由此可推断,画线词意为“稀奇的;古怪的”。
3.What can be learned from the first Gilroy Garlic Festival?
A.Its purpose was to attract city leaders.
B.It benefited the local community a lot.

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.Spreading the food culture.

B
Oriana Fallaci,born on June 29,1929,was an Italian journalist, author,and political interviewer.She created a new method of interviewing.In her view, the best way of reporting is putting yourself in your report.“The reporter is also a center and an actor,” she once said.This original view helped her get the name of “the queen of news interviews”.
During World War Ⅱ,she had a long and successful journalistic career.Fallaci became famous worldwide for her reporting of war and revolution,and her interviews with many world leaders during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.Her book Interview with History contains lots of natural, long and penetrating(犀利的) interviews with many leaders from all over the world.One of the leaders once described the interview with Fallaci as “the single most unfortunate conversation I have ever had with any member of the press”.
Fallaci began her career in journalism during her teens,becoming a special reporter for an Italian paper in 1946.In 1967, she worked as a war reporter, covering many famous wars.“It is really an awful period for me.For many times, I thought my life would end in smoke and fires.At that moment,I just hoped those pictures and letters could be found by those who would find my body and make them known to the world.” Fallaci said.
Fallaci had received many awards in her life.On November 30,2005, in New York City, Fallaci received the Annie Taylor Award for courage from the Center for the Study of Popular Culture.The Annie Taylor Award is annually awarded to people who have shown unusual courage in adverse(不利的) conditions and great danger.David Horowitz, the founder of the center, described Fallaci as “a General in the fight for freedom”.
Fallaci received much admiration as well as disapproval, but it cannot be denied that she is one of the most famous journalists,just like people honored her as “The female journalist of world NO.1”.
【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了20世纪一位伟大的女性记者奥莉娅娜·法拉奇,她以独特的采访方式而闻名,也因此被誉为“二十世纪新闻采访女王”。

B.Fallaci always made interviewees feel bored.
C.Fallaci’s interview was difficult to deal with.
D.Fallaci’s methods of interviewing were very terrible.

6.From Paragraph 3, we can see Fallaci was ________.
A.brave and selfless
B.kind and confident
C.proud and hopeful
D.determined and easy-going
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中法拉奇的自述,可以看出,她是一个为事业无私奉献且勇敢的女性。

A.Because of her selflessness to people.
B.Because of her interview with world leaders.
C.Because of the published book she had written.

The Gilroy Garlic(大蒜) Festival started with a “crazy idea” by Dr. Rudy Melone.
In 1978, Melone, the President of Gavilan College in Gilroy, read an article in a newspaper which was about a small town in France. The town hosted a garlic festival every year and regarded itself as the “Garlic Capital of the World”. He doubted that Gilroy’s garlic production and processing were far greater. In fact, Christopher Ranch was then the largest shipper of garlic in the world.
So Melone set about trying to convince Christopher Ranch’s owner Don Christopher, to host a garlic festival of their own. At first, the idea seemed crazy. Outside of Italian families, garlic at the time was considered an esoteric material. It wasn’t something thought to be normal and it wasn’t something you generally shared in polite company.
But Melone had passion for Gilroy and garlic. He decided to stick to his idea. He and Christopher hired a local cook, Val Filice, to prepare a meal with a few garlicky dishes. They invited local media and food writers as well. The meal was a success, and the city leaders agreed to support them.
The first Gilroy Garlic Festival was held at Bloomfield Ranch in 1979. Rudy Melone served as the president; Don Christopher supplied all the garlic from his farm; and Val Filice was the head chef. They got about 50 community volunteers to help them and decided to give all profits back to the community. Festival organizers weren’t sure at first if anyone would come, but were quickly shocked by the number of visitors. Despite all the chaos, the first Gilroy Garlic Festival served over 15,000 guests and produced D|S19,000 for the local community.
To date, the Gilroy Garlic Festival has given the city of Gilroy a sense of true community pride as well as worldwide recognition. Not bad for one man’s crazy idea!

Oriana Fallaci,born on June 29,1929,was an Italian journalist, author,and political interviewer.She created a new method of interviewing.In her view, the best way of reporting is putting yourself in your report.“The reporter is also a center and an actor,” she once said.This original view helped her get the name of “the queen of news interviews”.
During World War Ⅱ,she had a long and successful journalistic career.Fallaci became famous worldwide for her reporting of war and revolution,and her interviews with many world leaders during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.Her book Interview with History contains lots of natural, long and penetrating(犀利的) interviews with many leaders from all over the world.One of the leaders once described the interview with Fallaci as “the single most unfortunate conversation I have ever had with any member of the press”.
Fallaci began her career in journalism during her teens,becoming a special reporter for an Italian paper in 1946.In 1967, she worked as a war reporter, covering many famous wars.“It is really an awful period for me.For many times, I thought my life would end in smoke and fires.At that moment,I just hoped those pictures and letters could be found by those who would find my body and make them known to the world.” Fallaci said.
Fallaci had received many awards in her life.On November 30,2005, in New York City, Fallaci received the Annie Taylor Award for courage from the Center for the Study of Popular Culture.The Annie Taylor Award is annually awarded to people who have shown unusual courage in adverse(不利的) conditions and great danger.David Horowitz, the founder of the center, described Fallaci as “a General in the fight for freedom”.
Fallaci received much admiration as well as disapproval, but it cannot be denied that she is one of the most famous journalists,just like people honored her as “The female journalist of world NO.1”.
【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了20世纪一位伟大的女性记者奥莉娅娜·法拉奇,她以独特的采访方式而闻名,也因此被誉为“二十世纪新闻采访女王”。

D.Fallaci’s methods of interviewing were very terrible.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句句意,其中一位领导者认为法拉奇是唯一一个能让被采访者感到惊险的记者。可见,法拉奇的采访方式独特且犀利,很难应付。
6.From Paragraph 3, we can see Fallaci was ________.
A.brave and selfless
B.kind and confident
C.proud and hopeful
D.determined and easy-going
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中法拉奇的自述,可以看出,她是一个为事业无私奉献且勇敢的女性。
7.Why was Fallaci awarded the Annie Taylor Award?
A.Because of her selflessness to people.
B.Because of her interview with world leaders.
C.Because of the published book she had written.
D.Because of her courage to fight with difficulties and danger.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的The Annie Taylor Award... and great danger.可知,法拉奇获得这个奖的原因是她敢于与困难和危险做斗争。
8.What is the author’s attitude toward Fallaci?
A.Admired. B.Worried.

It was a dinner party from hell(地狱).Not because of the lovely guests. The problem was that they were all experts in cooking. And they were all waiting for a pudding(布丁) I had cooked for them.
I lifted my spoon high above the poached(水煮) peach and readied myself for it to sink easily into the peach. Instead the spoon bent at the neck. The fruit was hard, even though it had been cooked for an hour.
It was my stupid mistake. Over the past two years or so, I have passed judgment on the cooking skills of over 100 chefs(厨师). I thought it could now be fun to get some chefs to pass judgment on me. Little did I know what I was letting myself in for.
The starter was a French onion pie. It’s a classic dish and would be a test of my skills. And it’s the only cooked starter I know how to do.
Next, the main course. My wife suggested doing the lamb(羔羊肉) thing first. I agreed. It’s a good dinner party dish because even if you overcook the meat, it’s still a pleasure. The lamb is filled with a mixture of small pieces of bread, tomatoes, olives and so on. The only problem is that in this condition the meat has to come out pink, which fortunately it did.
As to the pudding, I would do peaches poached in Muscat wine with cream. There was only one problem that I had forgotten that peaches were out of season and much like rocks.
What did the guest chefs say about my cooking ability? “With all good dinner parties, as with the best restaurants, the food is by no means the only important thing and it was exciting that the party combined great diners and my hosts’ generosity. And the food? As it happens, it was really rather good—should have had a cheese course though. And the plates could have been hotter.”

Dressing against the cold is hard when you’re a 6,000-pound elephant. But thanks to some generous knitters(编织者) in Mathura, India, a group of elephants have giant handmade sweaters to help them stay warm during the cold winter. When worn with their bright red leg coverings, their new outfits look like comfortable nightclothes for them!
The huge sweaters were made for elephants at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Center. It takes care of 20 blind, lame, or injured elephants. They were saved from abuse(虐待). Some lived in circuses, some were bought and sold illegally, and some were not receiving enough care. In India, elephants are sometimes kept in crowded inner cities and used in street performances or for begging. This causes physical and emotional harm to the wild animals. Wildlife SOS provides food, care, and medical attention to those animals.
Because most of the elephants housed at the center are recovering from injuries or are elderly, “it is important to keep our elephants protected from the bitter cold during this extreme winter,” explains Kartick Satyanarayan, the co-founder and CEO of Wildlife SOS. “They are weak and vulnerable(脆弱的), having suffered so much abuse, making it easy for them to catch diseases such as pneumonia (lung infection). The cold also worsens their arthritis(关节炎), which is a common issue that our saved elephants have to deal with.”
At first, Wildlife SOS made giant jackets out of tarp (防水帆布) for the elephants to wear. Then they asked people in nearby villages to help out by making colorful knitted sweaters. Knitting the sweaters is a big undertaking. Each one takes about four weeks to create, with volunteers working together on the very large sweaters. Wildlife SOS hopes to save 50 more elephants this year—which means there could be a lot more knitting to do!

Stress is so common that many people choose to ignore it. But without proper management, stress can become much more serious. Listed here are 5 proven ways to deal with stress.
·Breathe
1.________ Slow, deep breathing stops the mind focusing on whatever else might be going on, and actively lowers stress levels. Practicing breathing can help you to build up a great attitude to your life.
·Write
Instead of allowing a jumble(混乱) of thoughts and ideas to jump around inside your head, let them fall out onto your computer keyboard instead. 2.________ They don’t even have to make sense. Minutes later, you might be surprised at how light, airy and carefree you feel.
·Walk
If you’re feeling stressed, drop everything and go for a walk. 3.________ Walking provides your body with an ideal outlet(完美的出口) for the build-up of energy that stress can create.
·Sleep
Sleep is certainly necessary for avoiding high stress levels. Everyone needs good amounts of rest, and remaining glued to a computer screen and working for the whole day without taking a break will result in stress. 4.________
·Laugh
If you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is laughing. 5.________ If you are able to smile during your day, you’ll soon begin to see the effects of stress slowly disappear.
A.Stress is not good for people’s health.
B.Deep breathing lowers the blood pressure.
C.Laughing can calm the nerves and reduce stress.
D.Or write down your feelings onto a piece of paper.
E.Keep yourself at an easy speed and breathe properly.
F.Taking a deep breath in stressful situations has proven to be helpful.
G.Take frequent breaks away from the screen and see your stress disappear.

第一个看到他这篇文章的人是他们部门里的一位高级编审。他核查了证据,阅读了整篇文章,然后把它转给技术编辑。她就开始编辑这篇文章,设计了主标题和副标题。她说:“这在版面上会很好看。这个人的照片该放在哪儿好呢?”然后因为这篇文章要用英文来写,所以周阳又拿了一份稿子给一位母语为英语的雇员,请她对(文章的)语言风格进行润色。这位雇员对周阳的报道稿也很满意。她说:“你确实有能力写好的头版文章了。”周阳高兴地笑了。最后主编审读了这篇稿子,并且批准发表。他对周阳说:“做得不错,不过你还得拿出证据,这样我们才能确信已经把事实都了解清楚了。”周阳兴奋地说:“我马上给您拿来。”
新闻文字编辑取走这篇报道稿,开始对所有报道稿和图片进行编排,直至把各版面全部确定。此后,所有的报道材料就要被制成胶片。这是印制过程的第一步。由于这篇报道要用好几种颜色,因此需要四张胶片。每一种主色要用一张底片,四张底片结合起来就制成了一张报纸的彩页。经过最后一次校对后,这个版面就准备印刷了。周阳兴奋地等待着第一版的印出。“要等到今天晚上,”他的朋友轻声说,“我期望电视新闻会对这件事做一些报道。这是真正的独家新闻!”

阅读理解
What do William Randolph Hearst, Benjamin Franklin, Tom Wolfe, Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, and Walter Cronkite have in common?They were all on The Celebrity Apprentice, an American television reality competition series. Just kidding. They were all serious journalists whose work made a huge difference in American culture.
So how did they become famous? Just use the power of speaking the truth to other powerful people, report news stories correctly and reliably and get the inside scoop(独家新闻).
The traditional journalists of the news media continue to represent the majority of recognized journalists. However, the definition of a journalist’s job has greatly broadened in the new information age. Types of journalists include columnists(专栏作家), editorial writers, editors, and visual journalists. Columnists write regular columns in a series. Editorial writers publish opinions on various issues. Editors prepare the final material for publication, making sure the correct intended message is being expressed in the story. Visual journalists, who are increasing in number thanks to the Internet, use data visuals to display information through unique graphs and pictures. Have you ever heard “a picture may be worth a thousand words”?That’s basically what the visual journalist is counting on.
Journalists’ abilities can lead to an event of shocking effects. Therefore, the journalism field often attracts people who want to perform some sort of public service. These are the people risking their lives to tell stories from the front line of war zones and feeling that society can’t properly fun_ction without knowledgeable citizens. These people believe in the importance of journalism as a guiding principle, and they use various means to keep everyone informed.
The journalism field also attracts creative types. Some people want to structure a news story in a way that can best attract their audience. Like all content-producing jobs, there’s a certain style element involved in the production. Regardless of the reasons why people get into journalism, all journalists contribute a piece to the cultural puzzle when they start writing about what’s happening in the world.

We all have negative voice inside of us that tells us to stay still and not to go to work out.1.________ Here are some steps to help you overcome and defeat the negative voice in your head.
Admit its presence. For as long as we can remember, the inner voice has always been there.2.________ Once you make yourself aware that it is there and what it does to you, then you are in a better position to deal with it correctly.
3.________ Whenever you catch the voice telling you something negative, replace it with something positive. For example, when you are supposed to go to work out, but that voice says “No, we’re comfortable here, and let’s not move”, you can replace it right away with “Yes, I can do it, and I am doing it!”
Change your vocabulary. The little negative voice didn’t come out of nowhere.4.________ What you need to do is change and remove certain words from your speech and thoughts. Replace “can’t, won’t, would, might” with clear positive actions such as I will, I can, I have, I want.
Speak out loud. A loud and clear voice is more likely to overcome an inner voice. So silence the negative voice by expressing out loud what you truly want and what’s best for you. Hearing yourself say out loud like “I am going to the gym.” or “I can finish my task.” is very inspiring. 5.________
A.Turn it into clear expressions.
B.Drown it with positive thoughts.
C.So we must accept the fact that it does exist.
D.It has been trained to put things into certain words.
E.But people need to take some measures to gain excited feelings.
F.It may even tell us that we are not good enough to do a certain task.
G.The inner negative voice simply won’t be able to compete with that.

5.G 解析:此空设于段尾,承接上句,与上文存在逻辑上的指代关系。该句中的that指的是上一句提到的洪亮而有力的话语。

Change your vocabulary. The little negative voice didn’t come out of nowhere.4.________ What you need to do is change and remove certain words from your speech and thoughts. Replace “can’t, won’t, would, might” with clear positive actions such as I will, I can, I have, I want.
Speak out loud. A loud and clear voice is more likely to overcome an inner voice. So silence the negative voice by expressing out loud what you truly want and what’s best for you. Hearing yourself say out loud like “I am going to the gym.” or “I can finish my task.” is very inspiring. 5.________
A.Turn it into clear expressions.
B.Drown it with positive thoughts.
C.So we must accept the fact that it does exist.
D.It has been trained to put things into certain words.
E.But people need to take some measures to gain excited feelings.
F.It may even tell us that we are not good enough to do a certain task.
G.The inner negative voice simply won’t be able to compete with that.

****************************
倒装的定义
在英语中,主语和谓语的语序通常是主语在前,谓语在后。但有时为了强调句子的某一部分或其他原因,谓语需要全部或部分移到主语的前面,这种语序叫倒装。而倒装语序又分为完全倒装和部分倒装。
倒装的种类
完全
倒装
整个谓语都在主语之前
Here comes the bus.
公共汽车来了。
部分
倒装
谓语的一部分(通常是助动词、连系动词be或情态动词)位于主语前
Under no circumstances will books desert you.
书籍决不会背弃你。
完全倒装
1.以here, there, now, then等副词开头的句子,谓语动词是be, come, go, remain, lie, run等,而主语又是名词时,用全部倒装。此时,句子多用一般现在时或一般过去时。
◆John opened the door. There stood a girl he had never seen before.
约翰打开门,一个他以前从来没有见过的女孩站在那里。
◆There goes the bell.
铃响了。
2.表示运动方向的副词,如out, in, up, down, away等置于句首,谓语是表示运动的动词时,且主语是名词,用全部倒装。
◆The moment the bell rang, out rushed the children.
铃一响,孩子们冲了出去。
◆Away went my father.
我父亲离开了。
当主语是代词时不倒装。
◆Out he ran.
他跑了出来。
3.将表示地点的介词短语放在句首进行强调时,使用全部倒装。谓语动词常为不及物动词。
◆By the window sat a handsome young man with a magazine in his hand.
窗户边坐着一位帅气的年轻人,手里拿着一本杂志。
◆At the foot of the mountain stands an old temple dating from Ming Dynasty.
山脚下有一座可追溯至明朝时代的古老寺庙。
4.当句子主语部分较长,谓语部分较短,或为了强调句子的表语时,常使用全部倒装。句子的结构为“表语+系动词+主语”。
◆Gone are the days when we had nothing to eat.
我们没有东西吃的日子一去不复返了。
5.“There be”句型属于完全倒装,其中be动词可用“stand,live, exist, lie, remain, seen, appear”等来代替。
◆To my great surprise, there stood a girl trembling at the door.
让我很吃惊的是,门口站着一个正在颤抖的女孩。
(1)在完全倒装句式中,谓语动词的数要与后面主语的数一致。
(2)完全倒装的主语必须是名词,如果主语是人称代词则不能倒装。
(3)巧记完全倒装:
副介开头全倒装,遇到代词则照常;
方位方式别遗忘,上下进出往前放;
there, here用得上,时间顺序句首放;
表语句首主语长,句子平衡需倒装。
◆(全国卷)Here are my email address and phone number:lihua@1236.com;12345678.
这是我的邮箱地址和电话号码:lihua@1236.com;12345678。
部分倒装
1.so或neither, nor放在句首,表示前面说话的情况也适用于另一个人(物), 即“……也(也不)这样/如此”,句子要用部分倒装。即构成:so+助动词+主语;neither/nor+助动词+主语。
◆Mary can speak French, so can Jack.
玛丽能说法语,杰克也能。
◆They love having lots of friends;so do those with disabilities.
他们喜欢交很多朋友,那些身有残疾的人也是如此。

◆Hardly could she believe her own eyes.
她几乎不敢相信自己的眼睛。
◆By no means will his parents approve of his decision to go abroad.
无论如何他的父母也不会同意他出国的决定。
3.not only...but (also)..., neither...nor...连接并列的句子且位于句首时, not only, neither和nor后的句子要部分倒装,但but (also)后面的句子不倒装。
◆Not only can we have a better understanding of our traditional culture but also broaden our view.
我们不仅能更好地理解传统文化而且能开拓我们的视野。
◆Neither have I seen him recently, and nor have I heard from him.
我最近既没见到他,也没收到他的来信。
4.含有no sooner...than, hardly...when, scarcely...when的主从复合句中, no sooner, hardly, scarcely位于句首时,所在的主句倒装, than, when从句不倒装。
◆No sooner had the competition begun than an unexpected accident happened.
比赛刚开始,一个意想不到的事故就发生了。
◆Hardly had he arrived home when it began to rain.
他刚到家就开始下雨了。
5.含有so...that..., such...that...等结构的句子中,so.../such...位于句首时所在的句子部分倒装。

他说英语说得如此清晰,以至于别人都能听得懂。
◆So lovely is the little boy that we all like him.
小男孩那么可爱以至于我们都喜欢他。
6.含有not until的句子中, not until置于句首时主句倒装,而从句不倒装。

直到开始在外企工作时他才意识到学习英语的重要性。
◆Not until he took off his sunglasses did I recognize him.

8.当as/though表示“尽管”引导让步状语从句时,要把强调的表语、谓语动词、状语放在主语之前。
◆Important as/though regular exercise is, it’s never a good idea to exercise too close to bedtime.
尽管定期锻炼是很重要的,但是快要睡觉的时候锻炼不是一个好主意。
9.虚拟条件句中,把if引导的条件从句中的were, had, should提前,并省略if,也可构成部分倒装结构。
◆(2017·江苏卷)Were it not for the support of the teachers, the student could not overcome her difficulty.

only修饰副介状,位于句首半倒装;
否定意义副连词,位于句首须倒装;
so和such放句首,引起主谓要倒装;
not only开头句,前一分句须倒装;

What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein? What clothes would be in your wardrobe(衣柜) if you were Marilyn Monroe? Or Madonna?
Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions and many more at the Fame Hotel in California. Ten miles outside Los Angeles, the Fame Hotel promises to answer the question “What if?” When you check into the hotel, you choose a room. Each room has a name. There’s Clint Eastwood on the second floor and Elvis Presley on the third floor. In total, the Fame Hotel has 32 rooms,most of which are named after stars of Hollywood or music. But there are also famous writers and even some scientists and sports stars, such as Mike Tyson.
When you enter the room, you enter the life of that person. There are pictures everywhere. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects, clothes, and even food that he thinks the star would have liked. Marilyn Monroe’s wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses. Albert Einstein doesn’t have any socks in his wardrobe because the real Einstein never wore them! If you choose Mike Tyson’s room, you’ll be able to practice boxing(拳击) in one corner of the room. And there’s even a skipping rope, too!
I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel,” he said to me. “I wanted to know ‘What would Elvis Presley eat for breakfast?’and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning, just as Elvis liked to do. At the next table, the Einstein room’s guest is eating cabbage soup!
The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York and there are plans to expand into Europe, too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London!

Journalism(新闻业) is a fast-paced industry, requiring reporters to get the facts about newsworthy events and to write about them before a deadline. It takes some skills to do this. Meanwhile, news reporters must follow high standards and have a deeper understanding of news writing.
Know what you’re going to write about. Newsworthy events can happen anytime and anywhere. So reporters need to develop a good nose for news.
Get all the facts and look at the details. Be sure to look at a story from different aspects. It’s sad to know that a woman is killed by a drunk driver, for example. But when you find out that the victim was an honor student, it gives the story more personality.
Double-check facts to avoid errors. Sources may also make mistakes and some may even deceive you. It’s wise to get in touch with other sources. In a shooting incident, for example, getting the facts from the police and from both the criminal and victim isn’t enough. You should also interview other eyewitnesses who may give more information about the incident.
Start writing the news. When it comes to the body of the article, the main information should be given in the first few—if not the first—paragraphs. It is often a short statement. Other information about the story follows. This form is common because it allows editors to cut off the last paragraphs if there’re space limits.
Check your article for errors. If time permits, leave the article for a moment and then read through it again with a fresh eye. Newspaper publications usually have someone check for errors but keep in mind that you’re the first line of defense. Grammar mistakes are embarrassing, and some errors may result in a lawsuit(诉讼).

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者和他的朋友在游泳池救一名溺水男子的故事。
1.A 解析:考查冠词。此处表示一名男子,故用不定冠词。
2.words 解析:考查名词。根据语境可知,此处要用名词的复数形式。one’s words意为“某人说的话”。
3.for 解析:考查介词。It’s too+形容词+for sb.表示“某物对某人来说怎么样”。
4.was received 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。此处主语与动词之间为被动关系,且时态为一般过去时,故填was received。
5.until 解析:考查连词。我们一直对他进行抢救直到医生来了。
6.had been 解析:考查动词的时态。根据后文by the time可知,当我们发现他溺水时,他已经被困水下13分钟了。故用过去完成时had been。
7.Considering 解析:考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词作状语。考虑到他溺水的时间,我们真的没有办法挽救他了。
8.truly 解析:考查副词。此处用副词修饰这个句子。句意:我们真的没有办法挽救他的生命。故填truly。
9.to survive 解析:考查动词不定式。此处动词不定式作目的状语。我们对他进行急救,给了他任何可能生还的机会。
10.proud 解析:考查形容词。be proud of sth.意为“为……感到自豪”。

Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions and many more at the Fame Hotel in California. Ten miles outside Los Angeles, the Fame Hotel promises to answer the question “What if?” When you check into the hotel, you choose a room. Each room has a name. There’s Clint Eastwood on the second floor and Elvis Presley on the third floor. In total, the Fame Hotel has 32 rooms,most of which are named after stars of Hollywood or music. But there are also famous writers and even some scientists and sports stars, such as Mike Tyson.
When you enter the room, you enter the life of that person. There are pictures everywhere. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects, clothes, and even food that he thinks the star would have liked. Marilyn Monroe’s wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses. Albert Einstein doesn’t have any socks in his wardrobe because the real Einstein never wore them! If you choose Mike Tyson’s room, you’ll be able to practice boxing(拳击) in one corner of the room. And there’s even a skipping rope, too!
I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel,” he said to me. “I wanted to know ‘What would Elvis Presley eat for breakfast?’and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning, just as Elvis liked to do. At the next table, the Einstein room’s guest is eating cabbage soup!
The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York and there are plans to expand into Europe, too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London!

Journalism(新闻业) is a fast-paced industry, requiring reporters to get the facts about newsworthy events and to write about them before a deadline. It takes some skills to do this. Meanwhile, news reporters must follow high standards and have a deeper understanding of news writing.
Know what you’re going to write about. Newsworthy events can happen anytime and anywhere. So reporters need to develop a good nose for news.
Get all the facts and look at the details. Be sure to look at a story from different aspects. It’s sad to know that a woman is killed by a drunk driver, for example. But when you find out that the victim was an honor student, it gives the story more personality.
Double-check facts to avoid errors. Sources may also make mistakes and some may even deceive you. It’s wise to get in touch with other sources. In a shooting incident, for example, getting the facts from the police and from both the criminal and victim isn’t enough. You should also interview other eyewitnesses who may give more information about the incident.
Start writing the news. When it comes to the body of the article, the main information should be given in the first few—if not the first—paragraphs. It is often a short statement. Other information about the story follows. This form is common because it allows editors to cut off the last paragraphs if there’re space limits.
Check your article for errors. If time permits, leave the article for a moment and then read through it again with a fresh eye. Newspaper publications usually have someone check for errors but keep in mind that you’re the first line of defense. Grammar mistakes are embarrassing, and some errors may result in a lawsuit(诉讼).

5.What can we infer about journalism from the first paragraph?
A.It is developing fast. B.It is not an easy job.
C.It is very interesting. D.It is popular around the world.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的“It takes some skills to do this. Meanwhile,news reporters must follow high standards and have a deeper understanding of news writing.”可推断,从事新闻业并不是一件容易的事。fast-paced industry意为“快节奏的行业”,而并非发展快,所以排除A项。
6.What does the underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Warn. B.Assist.
C.Interest. D.Cheat.
D 解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段的“Sources may also make mistakes”可知,有些来源提供错误的信息,有的甚至还是一些骗人的信息,故选D项。
7.What should a good news article be like according to the text?
A.It begins with a summary.
B.It ends with a happy ending.
C.It has enough smart questions.
D.It gives opinions about the event.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段的“When it comes to the body of the article,the main information should be given in the first few—if not the first—paragraphs. It is often a short statement.”可判断选A项。
8.How can a reporter avoid getting embarrassed by his news report?
A.By choosing a proper topic.
B.By writing it in a correct way.
C.By filling it with enough details.
D.By removing boring facts from it.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Newspaper publications usually have someone check for errors but keep in mind that you’re the first line of defense.Grammar mistakes are embarrassing,and some errors may result in a lawsuit(诉讼).”可知,正确的写作可以避免尴尬的局面。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者和他的朋友在游泳池救一名溺水男子的故事。
1.A 解析:考查冠词。此处表示一名男子,故用不定冠词。
2.words 解析:考查名词。根据语境可知,此处要用名词的复数形式。one’s words意为“某人说的话”。
3.for 解析:考查介词。It’s too+形容词+for sb.表示“某物对某人来说怎么样”。
4.was received 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。此处主语与动词之间为被动关系,且时态为一般过去时,故填was received。
5.until 解析:考查连词。我们一直对他进行抢救直到医生来了。
6.had been 解析:考查动词的时态。根据后文by the time可知,当我们发现他溺水时,他已经被困水下13分钟了。故用过去完成时had been。
7.Considering 解析:考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词作状语。考虑到他溺水的时间,我们真的没有办法挽救他了。
8.truly 解析:考查副词。此处用副词修饰这个句子。句意:我们真的没有办法挽救他的生命。故填truly。
9.to survive 解析:考查动词不定式。此处动词不定式作目的状语。我们对他进行急救,给了他任何可能生还的机会。
10.proud 解析:考查形容词。be proud of sth.意为“为……感到自豪”。
