【答案】

1organizations

2events

3hired/employed

4true

5those

6founded/established

7flying

8below/beneath

【解析】

试题分析:

1organizations考察名词。Organization意思为组织。结合语境来看,该句意思是:有一些叫做新机构的组织收集新闻以至于我们能够快速的知道事件的始末。所给首字母为O并且前面有are可知是复数,故填organizations

2events考察语法填空。Event表示大的事件。所给意思为事件,并且我们知道播报的新闻通常不是一条而是很多,所以,这里用的是复数,故填events。

3hired/employed考察语法填空。Hire、employ都表示雇佣。这里所给意思为雇佣,并且结合语境来看是被动语态,填hired和employed都可以。

4true考察语法填空。True表示真实的。结合该句News agencies try to be quick,fair and t______ “新机构”试着成为快速、公正、真实。这里填true是结合了该句中并列的quick、fair词语的含义、所给首字母t以及新闻的特点进行判断得出的词语。新闻传播要求实时快捷、公正评价,客观反映事情真相。故填true

5those考察代词those表示那些。句子中的those代表前面说到的important news stories。该句意思为人们想要知道重要的新故事,尤其是那些有图片的。

6founded/established考察语法填空。Found、establish表示建立、成立。结合原句The oldest news agency in the world is Reuters,which was_________in 1851.世界上最古老的新闻机构是路透社,它成立于1851年。根据语境可以推断出这里的意思是成立,故填founded/established

7flying考察固定搭配。Fly表示飞行。前面有动词provide,可以知道这里是固定句型provid sb doing sth,故将fly变为flying。

8below/beneath考察语法填空。below/beneath意思是在…之下。根据原句so even in the air you can know what is happening many thousands of metres b on the Earth!于是,即使在空中你也能知道几千米之下的地下发生了什么。根据语境推断这里的介词是表示在下的意思的,根据所给首字母,故填below/beneath

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themesanything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a complicated(复杂的) idea until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony(嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times.(How, after all, could one read a book more than once?)And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length.(Could anything shorter be a book?)

There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization.”“More than anything else in my life,”the professor told the reporter with finality, these books have made me all that I am. That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato’s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition(迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.

A. one must read as many books as possible

B. a student should not have a complicated idea

C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books

【2】 While at high school, the writer ________.

B. learned to educate himself

D. read only one book several times

【3】 The writer’s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to ________.

A. explain why it was included in the list

B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list

C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand

D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word

【4】The writer provides two book lists to ________.

A. show how he developed his point of view

B. tell his reading experience at high school
