题目内容

【题目】根据短文内容的理解，选择正确答案。 The earliest newspapers started in ancient Rome. They were handwritten news sheets. The first printed newspapers appeared in China during the Tang dynasty, which were printed from carved wooden blocks. Modern papers first appeared in Venice, Italy in the middle of the 14th century. The newspapers of today, with advertising and a mixture of political, economic, and social news and comments, were started in Britain in the mid-18th century.
The main function of newspapers is to report news. Many newspapers also provide special information to readers, such as weather reports and television timetables. They also provide comments on politics, economics, arts and culture. Almost all newspapers depend on advertising to make money.
Nearly six out of ten adults in the United States and Canada read a newspaper every day. Seven out of ten read a paper each weekend. Readers search newspapers for detailed background information and analysis. This is what television and radio news reports seldom offer. Newspapers tell readers what happened, and they also help readers understand what caused an event and how it will affect the world around them.
The workers at large newspaper companies work under a lot of pressure to bring news to readers as soon as possible. Reporters, photographers, artists, and editors collect articles in just a few hours. Page designers select articles, photos, advertisements, and eye-catching headlines to make the pages, and then rush their work to the printer. Printing workers may work overnight around printing presses to churn out more than 60,000 copies per hour.
（1）Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Production of Newspapers
B.Functions of Newspapers
C.Publication of Newspapers
D.An Introduction to Newspapers
（2）We can infer everything from the passage EXCEPT that ________.
A.newspapers will become less popular because of the development of TV
B.few newspapers have no advertising
C.many adults in America read newspapers every day
D.people can read about many different issues in newspapers
（3）The phrase "churn out" in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A.press
B.produce
C.publish
D.sell

【答案】
（1）D
（2）A
（3）B
【解析】这篇文章讲述了报纸的起源和发展，以及报纸的功能，表达了报纸在人们的生活中发挥着非常重要的作用。
（1）主旨大意题。这篇文章主要给我们介绍了报纸的起源，发展及功能。故选D。
（2）推理判断题。这篇文章讲了所有的报纸都包含广告，在美国，十分之六的美国人每天都读报纸，通过报纸，人们能了解很多不同的事情，文章并没有说随着电视的发展，报纸变得不受欢迎了。故选A。
（3）词义猜测题。根据Printing workers may work overnight around printing presses to churn out more than 60,000 copies per hour.（印刷工人在印刷机旁边工作到深夜，要在每小时印刷出6万多份的报纸。）可知，churn out的意思是"生产，印刷"。故选B。

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
There are two main types of nonverbal communication. Body language is the first. Body language is body movements that depend on a person's attitude or feelings. Body language includes the way people walk，how they stand，and their facial features. In other words，any kind of meaning is shown by a person's attitude or body movements. For example，when a boy is sad he may drop his head and walk slowly. Or，if a girl is happy，she might run and jump or stand up straight and put her hands in the air. People don't have to say anything to show how they feel about things. The colour of people's skin may even show how they feel. For example，if people with light coloured skin get embarrassed，their skin may turn red，or if they are worried，they might get pale. Body language can be voluntary(主动的) or involuntary(无意识的)．An interesting fact is that blind children will smile when happy even though they have never seen a smile.
The next main type of nonverbal communication is gestures. Gestures are communications like facial expressions，hand signals，eye gazing，and body postures. Examples include smiles，handshakes，waving，and raising certain fingers to say something. For instance，if you saw a friend at a noisy carnival，you might smile and wave at your friend. You might also point at the Ferris wheel if you wanted to meet your friend there. You could do all of these things without saying a word. Another great example is in baseball when the catcher signals to the pitcher the kind of pitch to use for the batter that is up.
（1）If a boy passes the final exam he ________.
A.might not raise his head
B.might walk home slowly
C.might run home singing
D.might not stand there straight
（2）When someone gets pale he is most likely to be ______.
A.anxious
B.surprised
C.embarrassed
D.disappointed
（3）Which one of the following is WRONG according to this passage?
A.Body language is mainly expressed by one's body movements.
B.The blind children can also smile when they are glad.
C.You can also express yourself without saying a word in baseball.
D.Gestures can be shown only by one's hands.
（4）All the following are gestures except ________.
A.hand signals
B.coloured skin
C.hand wave
D.eye gazing

【题目】Finding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if you’re covered in fur and don’t speak the language. But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand.

Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café, in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.

Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative plan as a way to help welcome people to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of course, it wasn’t like that. I did get lonely. “I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”

Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.

Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.

“Volunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazing people with similar interests.”

SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to , where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town.” There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.
After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment(评论) about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.
I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn't enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.
Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!
When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience.
