题目内容

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is unusual for what it contains: the news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the comments and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature articles, from interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more unusual 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, that is, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But this immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it also mean that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than temporary 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 order, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness(意识) as you change and apply the techniques of reading.

【解析】

试题分析：文章大意：不同读者对报纸有着不同的需求，本文就向我们讲述什么样的报纸才是优秀的报纸。

1.词义猜测题。根据“topicality”所在的句子…. that is, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But this immediacy and the speed of production…直接涉及到你的世界和周边正在发生的事情， 但是这种直接联系及伴随的快速发行方式…故topicality指“快速报道新闻，实事性新闻”。所以答案选B。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段句子no two people really read the same paper…his own selection and order, his own newspaper.可知，每个人在看报纸的时候都会按照自己的顺序跳跃着找自己感兴趣的部分，所以一定程度上说没有两个人会看同样的报纸。故答案选C。
3.细节理解题。根据第二段开头句子A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in.可知，一份好报纸提供各种不同的内容是为了吸引不同的读者，所以答案选D。

The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 1.

It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.

Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 2.

If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3.

Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 4. Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.

5. . They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!
