6.What's black and white and read all over?Not newspapers,at least not anymore.In fact,if you're like most young people,you probably don't read the newspaper at all.
In one recent survey,just 19percent of 18-to-34-year-olds said they read a newspaper every day,while 37percent watch local TV news and 44percent visit Internet news sites daily.As people turn more and more to new technologies,they turn the pages of newspapers less and less.
"There's a revolution (革命) in the way young people get news,"says media consultant Merrill Brown.
Just a generation (一代人) or two ago,the newspaper was the main way that many people got their news.Now,nearly every home has at least one TV set.There's high-speed,wireless Internet both at home and in many public places.
You no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning.Thanks to new technology,if you want to know what's going on in the world,you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one.
So newspapers face a very big challenge.Raised on MTV and video games,today's kids and young adults want flashy displays,special effects,quick information,and the chance to interact (互動(dòng)) in real time,even when they're reading about serious problems.
If newspapers can't find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper,some experts suggest,they might disappear completely.
Traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end,lack (缺乏) of interaction.With Web pages,on the other hand,there's more freedom.You can look through the things you're interested in,then follow links to other sources.You can join discussion groups,read other people's opinions on a topic,or start a blog to express your own views.
13.This passage is mainly aboutA.
A.the disappearing newspaper        
B.different news sources
C.the future of the Internet           
D.the new technologies
14.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT the disadvantage of newspapers?A
A.High price.
B.Lack of changes.
C.Slow speed.
D.Lack of interaction.
15.The author of the passage would probably think the future of newspapers isD.
A.a(chǎn)ttractive   B.bright   C.hopeless   D.uncertain.

14.A推理判斷題.由第四段"Now,nearly every home has at least one TV set.There's high-speed,wireless Internet both at home and in many public places."可知,報(bào)紙速度慢;由第四段第一句"You no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning."可知,報(bào)紙缺乏變化;由第六段"Today's kids and young adults want flashy displays,special effects,quick information,and the chance to interact (互動(dòng)) in real time"可知,報(bào)紙缺乏互動(dòng)交流.A選項(xiàng)文中沒有提到,故選A.
15.D觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題.作者在倒數(shù)第二段中引述了專家的觀點(diǎn),If newspapers can't find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper,some experts suggest,they might disappear completely.說明傳統(tǒng)報(bào)紙急需改革,否則可能會消失.因此作者對報(bào)紙的未來是不確定的.故選D

1.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(特定 )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(時(shí)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 (短暫的  ) 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 newspapers 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.
24.A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except itsB.
A.wide coverage         
B.uniform style
C.speed in reporting news  
D.popularity
25.According to the passage the reason why no two people really read the"same"newspaper is thatA.
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

11.When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,"Well,it's so-and-so's fault."or"I know I'm late,but it's not my fault; the car broke down."It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser.You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation.This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems.For example,if you were late because your car broke down,maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly.Or,you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers,so you could call for help when in need.For another example,if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability,find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.Ask to work with a different person,or don't rely on this person.You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens.Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else.They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.So,stop focusing on"whose fault it is."Once you are confident about your power over bad situations,problems are just stepping stones for success.

13.According to the passage,winnersA.
A.deal with problems rather than blame others
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C.have responsible and able colleagues
D.blame themselves rather than others
14.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning toC.
A.a(chǎn)void      B.a(chǎn)ccept  
C.improve    D.consider
15.When your colleague brings about a problem,you shouldA.
A.find a better way to handle the problem
B.blame him for his lack of responsibility
C.tell him to find the cause of the problem
D.a(chǎn)sk a more able colleague for help
16.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?B
A.A Winner's Opportunity.
B.A Winner's Secret.
C.A Winner's Problem.

8.Does happiness have a scent?
    When someone is happy,can you smell it?
You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile,hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug.But can you also smell their happiness?Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent,and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell,reports Phys.org.
For the study,12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them.All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers,and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.
Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell,while researchers monitored their reactions.Only women were selected to smell the samples,apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling-though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.
Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents-particularly their facial expressions-indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.
"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,"said study co-author Gun Semin,a professor at Koc University in Turkey.
This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent,but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others.The study also found that other emotions,such as fear,seem to carry a scent too.This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell,but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.
Researchers have yet to isolate(分離) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is,but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be.Happiness perfumes,for instance,could be invented.Scent therapies(香味療法)could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the study,however,is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated,and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.
24.What is the main finding of the new research?C
A.Men produce more sweats.
B.Negative emotions have a smell.
C.Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.
D.Women have a better sense of smell.
25.The underlined part"abstain from"in Paragraph 3 probably meansA.
A.a(chǎn)void          B.practice             C.continue           D.try
26.What is the application value of the new research?B
A.Perfumes could help people understand each other.
B.Some smells could be developed to better our mood.
C.Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.
D.Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.
27.We can learn from the last paragraph thatD.
A.happiness comes from a scent of sweat
B.positive energy can deepen understanding
C.people need more emotional communication
D.social surroundings can influence our emotions.
