Question

阅读理解 A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading．It is remarkable first for what it contains：the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music．A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it：never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next．A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in．What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now．But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的)value．For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper：what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper．For all these reasons, reading newspaper efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading． (1) A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ________． [　　] A． wide coverage B． uniform style C． speed in reporting news D． popularity (2) According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the same newspaper is that ________． [　　] A． people scan for the news they are interested in B． different people prefer different newspapers C． people are rarely interested in the same kind of news D． people have different views about what a good newspaper is (3) It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers ________． [　　] A． apply reading techniques skillfully B． jump from one newspaper to another C． appreciate the variety of a newspaper D． usually read a newspaper selectively (4) A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because ________． [　　] A． it tries to serve different readers B． it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality C． readers are difficult to please D． readers like to read different newspapers (5) The best title for this passage would be “________”． [　　] A． The Importance of Newspaper Topicality B． The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper C． The Variety of a Good Newspaper D． Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper

Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．A;3．D;4．A;5．B;
解析：

(1)	A项指“覆盖面广”；B项指“风格统一”；C项指“时事性”；D项指“大众化，普及性”。文章第二句提到A项、第五句提到C项、第四句提到D项。
(2)	文章认为没有几个读者真正阅读了“same”报纸，原因在文章第七句，人们看报是看他们自己感兴趣的内容。C项扩大了范围，和文章的思想并无紧密联系，应排除。
(3)	根据2题可知，没有两个读者阅读同样的报纸，是因为每个读者都是选择自己感兴趣的内容。再根据文章最后一句可知，读者看报通常是有选择性的。
(4)	根据文章第四句可知，报纸提供各种各样的内容，是为了满足不同类型有不同阅读需求的读者。
(5)	A、C项涉及了文章的具体方面，但不足以概括整篇文章的内容；D项与文章无多大关系；B项概括了文章的大意，即一份好报纸应具有“覆盖面广、大众化、时事性”等特征。
