【题目】USA Today is a national American daily newspaper published by the Gannett Company. It was founded by A1 Neuharth in 1982 with the goal of providing a national newspaper in the US market, where generally only a single local newspaper was available. The paper has the widest circulation（发行量）of any newspaper in the United States, averaging over 2.25 million copies every weekday. It was the first color newspaper in the United States.

The newspaper was also among the first newspapers to use satellites to send the edition of the newspaper to different locations across the country for printing and distributing in those regional markets. This allowed the paper to include the most recent news and sports scores in each edition.

Each edition of the newspaper consists of four sections: News, Money, Sports and Life. On Fridays, tow life sections are included: the regular life for movies subtitled Weekend, which features television, films and trends, and a travel supplement called Destinations & Diversions. Each section is denoted（表示）by a certain color to different sections, which is seen in a box on the top-left corner of the first page, with News being blue(section A), Money with green (section B), red for Sportd (section C), and purple for life (section D). USA Today prints each complete story on the front page of the respective（各自的）section with exception to the cover story. The cover story is a longer story that requires a jump (readers must turn to another page in the paper in the paper to complete the story, usually the very next page, page 2 of that section).

Starting in February 2008, the newspaper added a magazine supplement（增刊）called Open Air, appearing several times a year.

【1】It can be inferred from the first paragraph that USA Today____.

A. Developed from a famous America local newspaper

B. Was founded to cover world stories

C. Was among the first color newspapers in the world

D. Does not print on Saturdays or Sundays

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about USA Today?

D. It is the first international newspaper in the United States.

【3】Mr. Watts wants to get the most recent travel information. He will turn to____.

A. Section A B. section B

C. section C D. section D

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】本文主要介绍了美国国家日报——美国的今天。它是第一个有颜色的报纸，也是第一个用卫星发送报纸的，给读者带来最新的信息。报纸主要有新闻、钱、体育和生活四部分组成。

【1】推理判断题。第一段中The paper has the widest circulation（发行量）of any newspaper in the United States, averaging over 2.25 million copies every weekday. 这份报纸在美国的所有报纸中发行量最广泛，平均每个工作日超过225万份。所以可以推断出它在周六周日不印刷。

【2】细节理解题。由use satellites to send the edition of the newspaper to different locations可知它使用卫星发送报纸去不同的地区，而不是用卫星打印报纸，故A错误。由include the most recent news and sports scores in each edition.可知发行内容包括最新的新闻和各版的体育成绩，故C正确。B，D均未涉及，故选C。

【3】推理判断题。由On Fridays, tow life sections are included: the regular life for movies subtitled Weekend, which features television, films and trends, and a travel supplement called Destinations & Diversions可知生活部分包括旅游信息。

由with News being blue(section A), Money with green (section B), red for Sportd (section C), and purple for life (section D).可知生活部分在D部分，故选D。

【题目】A recent housing project in Helsinki offers remarkably cheap apartments for those under the age of 25. They must commit to spending time with their older neighbors.

Helsinki offers 247-suqare-foot studio apartments with a bathroom, storage space, kitchen, and balcony for only $272 every month—about a third of the average price for a studio in the city. The apartment is inside homes for the elderly, and the young renter must spend between three to five hours with their elderly neighbors each week.

Like pretty much all other major cities in the world, Finland’s capital of Helsinki has faced rapid population growth in recent years. And with population growth, comes an inevitable rise in the cost of living, and of course, sharp increase in rent. Currently, Helsinki is ranked 14th on the list of the world’s most expensive cities. For those young and freshly independent, this causes terrible problems — even homelessness.

"It's a very expensive city to live in," Mr. Bostrom writes in an email to CNN’s Eoghan Macguire. "If you manage to get an apartment that the city owns, it can be quite affordable. The screening criteria included the ability to participate in a variety of activities, such as cooking or playing instruments, but the number of applicants for those apartments is so high that waiting list takes forever,” he says.

According to Helsinki’s Youth Housing Association, the city council aims to ensure that every young person will have a home by 2018. Miki Mielonen, a representative of the youth department, says this project, currently in its trial stages, will help out young people while offering social benefits to senior citizens. “I think there is quite a rigid opinion in Finland with many people thinking young of the old ideas that we are going to break down.”

【1】Helsinki probably rents a cheap apartment to a young man who ________.

A. reaches the age of 25

B. has financial problems

C. promises to accompany the elderly

D. agrees to share it with his neighbor

【2】Which is the root reason for the housing problems in Helsinki?

A. The population explosion.

B. The high living standard.

C. World’s priciest apartment rent.

D. Low employment of college graduates.

【3】According to Mr Bostrom, the cheap apartments are ________.

A. well-decorated B. difficult to afford

C. in short supply D. popular with technicians

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The young in Helsinki are mostly homeless.

B. Helsinki will overcome people’s prejudice.

C. The project will be experimental in future.

D. The project is more beneficial to the young.

【题目】In the Middle Ages in Europe, theater was an important part of civic, economic and religious life. During this period after the fall of Roman civilization, many cities were destroyed. Southern and Western Europe, famous for its agriculture, became increasingly more agricultural. After several hundred years, many towns appeared again. The Roman Catholic Church took over religion, education and politics. What remained of theater was mostly on the Greek and Roman performing arts.

Theater was reborn as liturgical（礼拜式的）dramas. It was written in Latin and dealing with biblical（圣经）stories which would be performed by church members. Then there came local dramas spoken in common language not Latin. They were more wonderful one-act dramas taking place in town squares or other parts of the city. There were three types of local dramas. Mystery or cycle plays were short dramas based on biblical stories organized into historical cycles. Miracle plays dealt with the lives of the great. Morality（道德的）plays taught a lesson through characters standing for good or bad qualities. Secular plays in this period existed, but religious drama in the Middle Ages is mostly remembered today. As the Middle Ages ended, the number of religious theatres became small as the church weakened and more secular qualities won over religious theaters.

【1】According to the passage, what does "secular plays" mean here?

A. Plays that deal with the lives of the great.

B. Plays that taught a lesson.

C. Plays based on biblical stories.

D. Plays that are not connected with the church.

【2】Why did religious theatres become less important as the Middle Ages came to an end?

A. People were not interested in them any longer.

B. The church was not as important as what it had been.

C. People liked new plays.

D. The stories of religious theatres were outdated.

【3】According to the passage, why did religious theatres take over in the Middle Ages?

A. People preferred religious theatres to other ones.

B. There were no other types of theatres.

C. The church played an important part in people’s life.

D. The quality of religious theatres was better than that of other theatres.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. European dramas

B. Religious dramas

C. Religious theatres in the Middle Ages

D. Secular dramas in the Middle Ages
