4.On March 28th,the New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online.
In a letter to readers,Arthur Sulzberger,Jr.,the publisher of the paper,laid out the details of the paywall,which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world.He called the move"an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in the Times,one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform."
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge.Once they click on the 21st piece,however,they'll be presented with three payment options:15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access,20 for access to the site and the iPad application,or   35 for access to everything.People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to the Times on all platforms.
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work.The Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday,which block access to all contents unless the reader pays.
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world.According to Sulzberger's announcement,people who come to the Times site from Facebook,Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit.
However,Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on"some search engines",meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines,any futher articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count.It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google,where there will be a five-article limit.This marks a clear attempt by the Times to close what could be a giant loophole (漏洞),since so much online traffic is directed through Google.But it also presents a risk for the Times for the same reason.
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk."The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network,"he said,adding that the Times must"continue to engage with the widest possible audience."

18.The new high speed railway line between Urumqi,capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region,and Lanzhou,capital of Gansu province,has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.
The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival.
"For the first time,I feel home is not that far away after all,"said Liang shaofu as he boarded a high speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.
The 35 year old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago,and he has now settled in Urumqi.
The 1,776 km line,which passes through Qinghai province and is the country's first high speed railway built in a high altitude region,came into service on Dec 26.
"We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season,"Liang said."Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes,so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.
More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month,and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.
The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development.All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link,leaving the old one to be used for goods.As a result,Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million.
The line passes through areas that experience high winds,and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the bone dry sands of the Gobi Desert.
The project could help China to promote its high speed railway technology abroad,said Ma Xizhang,director of the Lanzhou Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang.
21. How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?D
A.about 12 hours.
B.About 6 hours.
C.About 18 hours.
D.About 24 hours.
22.What's the main advantage of the new high speed railway?D
A.It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou.
B.It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang.
C.All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals.
D.It helps to improve Xinjiang's development.
23.From the passage we can learnB.
A.Xinjiang's annual goods ability can increase nearly four times
B.the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad
C.the high speed railway lines can't be built across the bone dry sands
D.the old railway lines can only carry goods now
24.Which of the following is true according to the passage?C
A.The new high speed railway line is good for all people to go home.
B.The new high speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.
C.Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou.
D.Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.
19.Mobile phones are everywhere in big cities.It seems that (26)B  can survive without one.Mobile phones are a great (27)A to stay connected with friends and family.(28)B,it is important to remember that there are certain times (29)C you should not be using your phone,especially as a student,during school.
