【5】true

【6】those

【7】founded/established

【9】flying

【10】below/beneath

【解析】

【1】on考察介词。On表示在…之上根据该句Do you watch news programmes _____ television?你想要看电视上的新闻栏目么?从watch和television可以判断出中间介词用on

【2】organizations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

【3】events考察单词拼写。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。

【4】hired/employed考察单词拼写。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。

【5】true考察单词拼写。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

【6】those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。

【7】founded/established考察单词拼写。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

【8】since考察时间状语从句。Since表示自从。根据从句中的began可以知道从句时态为一般过去式,而主语的时态为现在完成时,所以选择since来引导时间状语从句。

【9】flying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。

【10】below/beneath考察单词拼写。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

【题目】Australia’s koalas could die out within 30 years unless immediate action is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bushfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply.

The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. The number of koalas was once estimated to be more than 100,000, but now is as few as 43,000.

The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching.

The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional value of their main food, eucalyptus (桉树) leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australia’s east and south, are very picky about what types of the leaves they eat.

Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. It’s really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you don’t have any koalas.She is hoping the new figures will persuade the government’s Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koala’s status as one of the country’s favorite animals would not be a factor. “There’s a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We don’t consider that,” Mr Beeton said.

【1】The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _____.

A. the forests are being damaged heavily

B. the environment is being polluted seriously

C. koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas

D. the number of koalas is dropping quickly

【2】Global warming is an important cause of koalas’ reduction because _____.

A. koalas can hardly stand the hot weather

B. the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional value

C. koalas cannot get enough water to drink

D. the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hotter and drier weather

【3】According to Bob Beeton, _____.

A. the koala is one of his favorite animals

B. a decision will be made to protect koalas in the future

C. they needn’t pay special attention to koalas

D. koalas needn’t be protected at all

【题目】Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.

One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there.
