19.The role of a newspaper is to present and comment on the news.It is vital for keeping people well-informed on current affairs.In most Western countries,journalists try to shape the ideas and opinions of their readers,since in Western countries all newspapers are independent of the government.Some newspaper owners support liberal ideas including economic policies that help poor people.Other owners want policies such as lower taxes for rich people and less money to be given to poor people.You can almost judge the political ideas of a person in the West by looking at the newspaper he reads.
All newspapers report national and international news.They give the facts but also provide opinions on controversial issues in the editorials and columns of opinion.The readers of the newspaper can also comment on these editorials or articles.There are many informative articles too as well as reviews of new films and books,etc.These are very important,for if a film or book gets good reviews it will often become more successful.
All these articles require many journalists who are experts in different areas of life.All these articles come together and are checked by the chief editor of the newspaper.When he or she has made a decision on the articles,the newspaper is prepared for printing.All this work means that the journalists must work together as a team because there is a lot of pressure when you work in a newspaper office.There are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements,photographs and much,much more.
5.What does the underlined word"be fitted"mean?B
A.be suitable  
B.be put
C.be read      
D.be measured
6.What articles comment on controversial issues?A
A.Editorials and opinion columns.
B.News stories.
C.Some of the informative articles.
D.Jokes and humour.
7.Which is true about the journalists in Western countries?D
A.There's no time limit for their report articles.
B.They have no right to influence the readers'opinions.
C.A newspaper can come out with just a journalist working individually.
D.Journalists must submit their articles before the due date.
8.Why are good reviews important to books?D
A.Good reviews are excellent introduction to books.
B.Readers especially favour books with good reviews.
C.Good reviews can make readers feel relaxed and comfotable.
D.Good reviews can bring a large circulation(發(fā)行量) of the books reviewed.

分析 這篇文章主要介紹了西方國(guó)家的報(bào)紙以及記者的日常工作.

解答 5.B 詞義猜測(cè)題.考查詞義猜測(cè).There are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements,photographs and much,much more分析邏輯主語(yǔ)constant deadlines and articles 和round后面的廣告、照片的關(guān)系可猜出be fitted 的意思是"be put",所以答案選B.
6  A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)All newspapers report national and international news.They give the facts but also provide opinions on controversial issues in the editorials and columns of opinion.可知有爭(zhēng)論的評(píng)論文章位于社論和評(píng)價(jià)專(zhuān)欄.
7.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)There are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements,photographs and much,much more.可知在西方國(guó)家,記者必須在最后期限前提交文章.
8.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)There are many informative articles too as well as reviews of new films and books,etc.These are very important,for if a film or book gets good reviews it will often become more successful.可知好的評(píng)論可以使這些書(shū)得到大量的傳播.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主,細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息?或是其變體.搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時(shí)使用的具體事實(shí)、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類(lèi)圍繞主體展開(kāi)的細(xì)節(jié).做這類(lèi)題一般采用尋讀法?即先讀題,然后帶著問(wèn)題快速閱讀短文,找出與問(wèn)題有關(guān)的詞語(yǔ)或句子,再對(duì)相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對(duì)比,找出答案.

11.Most of my friends are moving outside the city..to avoid the noise,smog,traffic,and crime of the city.
One friend says,"The air is heavily polluted in the city,so I prefer to live outside,where the air is clean."
Another friend is unpleased with the traffic,"Downtown is crowded with cars!You can't find a parking place,and the traffic jams are terrible."Everyone is worried about crime,"The city is full of criminals-it's toodangerous."
For them,the rural(鄉(xiāng)村的) life is a cure for all problems,green grass,flowers,swimming pools,barbecues,and so on.Yet after they have lived there for a year or so,they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting.Why?Their gardens!They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work.After they work all weekend in their gardens,they're too tired to swim in their pools or cook some meat on their barbecues.And they can't live in the countryside without a car.Most of them moved to the countryside to avoid traffic,but now they're blocked on a busy freeway two hours every day to drive to work downtown.
My opinions about urban life are different-I love to live downtown!Why?First,in the city,I can enjoy nature.I can walk through the park.smell.the flowers,sit on the grass and visit the animals in the zoo.Yet I don't have to do yard work or feed the animals.Also,I can get everywhere by bus; if there is a traffic jam,I can walk home.I think the criminal life will reflect changes in society too; if people are buying homes outside the city,the criminals will soon follow.Criminals want to avoid noise,smog,and pollution,too.Then,overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!
21.The first paragraph is used  toC.

22.What did those moving outside think of their life in the city?D
