Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life as a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be "bad" news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.
Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.

（2）The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that _____ .

（3）To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?
A.Two.

Father's Day
The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spikane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.
（1）At first, Father's Day was fixed on June 19th because ______.
A.Sonora honored her father on her father's birthday
B.Sonora's birthday was June 19
C.it was decided by the president at that time
D.her mother died on June 19
（2）How many years has passed before Father's Day became an official day since the father's day was celebrated?
A.4
B.10
C.14
D.24
（3）According to the passage, on Father's Day, ______.
A.people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathers
B.only daughters wear red flowers to honor their fathers
C.children must go home to honor their fathers
D.fathers are often honored in different ways
（4）According to the passage, we can infer that Henry Jackson Smart ______.
A.was very kind to anyone
B.did a lot for his daughter
C.was the first father honored in 1924
D.always helped others by giving money

【题目】根据短文内容的理解, 选择正确答案。 Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span （寿命） can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial （皇家的） family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the government must take care to control gene technology.
（1）What does "them" in the second paragraph refer to?
A.People with cancer or heart disease.
B.Millions of people with serious diseases.
C.Some diseases doctors can do nothing with.
D.The two illnesses of cancer and heart disease
（2）What can gene technology do according to paragraph three?
A.It can help the English imperial family out.
B.It can be used to clone human babies.
C.It can help people to give birth of a baby.
D.It is likely to treat hereditary diseases.
（3）What are people worried about according to the passage?
A.Human babies may be cloned in a large scale.
B.Healthy human babies will soon be cloned.
C.Scientists may well find the wrong genes.
D.The government may not control gene techs.
（4）This passage is mainly written to _________________.
A.show gene technology will benefit people
B.show gene technology will do harm as well
C.tell that gene technology is a hot topic
D.tell that gene technology is growing fast

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.

“When I grow up， I want to be...”
Almost all of us have thought about，or been asked to think about，our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations(志向，抱负)may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However，it seems that career choices aren't only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens， doctors，lawyers，and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is similar to a survey carried out in the UK in May 2016 by job website—Co.uk，in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are muchrespected members of society，and they make good money. What's more， these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social class.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(标志) of a successful career.
However，not every child has the makings of doctor， lawyer， or banker. They are those who see achievement and happiness in other areas. As the Teens' survey discovered，a variety of unconventional(非传统的) jobs—coffee shop owner，waiter at a fast food restaurant—are among teenagers' career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge，and all career paths require specific education and training，you have to learn to balance optimism(乐观主义)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
（1）What is the passage mainly about？
A.Careers in teenagers' mind.
B.Choosing a good job is very important.
C.Teenagers in the UK like doctors.
D.The choice of career needs challenge.
（2）What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article？
A.Medicine.
B.Law.
C.Bank.
D.Education.
（3）All of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer except .
A.respect from others
B.the oldest profession
C.high pay
D.upward social class
（4）What can be learned from the last two paragraphs？
A.Careers such as waiters are not as rewarding as doctors and lawyers.
B.Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C.Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
D.Optimism and confidence is more important than being realistic when choosing careers.
