AThe big news for American newspapers this week was the elections. But there was also news about their industry. The number of newspaper readers in the United States continues to fall. Average daily circulation(发行量) fell by almost one percent in the six months that ended September 13th.American newspapers get some of their money from readers. But mostly they depend on businesses to buy advertising space in their pages.The larger the circulation is, the more a newspaper can charge advertisers. But recently, several newspapers have admitted lying about their number of readers.In June, the Tribune Company announced that it had overstated(夸大) sales of two of its papers. These were Newsday in Long Island, New York, and the Spanish-language paper Hoy in New York City. The Tribute Company also owns the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune.In July, the Audit Bureau of Circulations(ABC) punished Newsday and Hoy. The ABC is a private organization. It examines circulation claims made by publishers, so advertisers can trust the numbers. Among other steps, the two newspapers will have to report their circulation numbers more often than usual for the next two years.The Chicago Sun-Times also faces the same punishment. That newspaper is owned by Hollinger International.The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating(调查) Hollinger International and its chief, Conrad Black. Hollinger says Mister Black took nearly four hundred million dollars from the company.Recently the Belo Corporation announced it had overstated the circulation of the Dallas Morning News in Texas. The publisher will repay twenty-three million dollars to advertisers. It will also provide four million dollars. Other publishers that falsely reported their circulations will also be repaying advertisers millions of dollars.An Audit Bureau spokeswoman says cases like these appear to be rare. But the Securities and Exchange Commission announced last month that it would expand its investigation to other newspapers.31. What does the underlined word “their” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.

You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. At a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you ar e easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’r e always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today but not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up(卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it makes people angr y.39. Which of the following is mentioned in Paragraph 2 about a person’s personality?A. He/ She is always easily upset.B. He/ She always likes old things than others.C. He/ She is always open with others.D. He/ She never believes in others.40. The possible reason why you don’t want to make friends with a person sleeping curled up is that______.A. he/she is too proud of himself/ herselfB. he/she is seldom ready to help youC. he/ she prefers staying at home to going outD. he/she would rather be alone than communicate with you41. The writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because ______.A. he/she always shows mercy to peopleB. he/she is confident, but not stubbornC. he/she has more strengths than weaknessesD. he/she always offends people42. The passage is mainly developed by ______.A. analyzing cause and effectB. presenting quotationsC. classifying the facts in groupsD. testing an idea by reasoningDThere was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is actually worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing(制造业) and automobile traffic.In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect” — hold in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap(极区冰层) will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous(引起灾难的).A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen(though one recent government report concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset (相互抵消) each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people pay less attention to the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?43. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.A. had a damaging effect on healthB. caused widespread damage in the countrysideC. affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesD. existed only in urban and industries areas44. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.A. is uncertain of its causeB. refuse to admit as a problemC. share the same view with the scientistD. thinks that it will destroy the world soon45. It can be concluded that ____________.A. temperature almost hasn’t changed over the past decade.B. the world’s temperature will remain the same in the years to come.C. raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.D. lowering the world’s temperature only a few degrees would lead to disaster to farming .46. This passage is mainly about __________.A. the greenhouse effectB. the burning of fossil fuelsC. the potential effect of air pollutionD. the likelihood of a new ice ageENowadays a growing number of grassroots entertainers are stepping into the public eye. Although a sudden success provides quick fame, experts say not all the rising stars will have a promising future.The grassroots band Xu Ri Yang Gang, meaning the rising sun in Chinese, suddenly became popular after uploading a vide o of them singing “In the Spring”. Actually, they have never stopped struggling to realize their dreams. After that they were frequently invited to big media events in China, like the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.However, just as many thought they were abou t to go further, the original singer of the song “In the Spring” stepped in to prevent the band from performing his songs.Different from Xu Ri Yang Gang, China’s rising star Liu Wei is considered to have more professional skills, enabling him to enjoy a long-lasting career. The armless pianist who plays the music of the song “Hope” with his toes has won the champion of the television talent show China’s Got Talent.Now, he is signed with Fremantle Media and Sony Music, and is kept busy every day. He believes it is his determination that makes him a hit.Another fairy story is the case of the rising star Susan Boyle. She came to international public attention after appearing as a candidate on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, singing “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables. Her first album became the biggest selling album in the world in 2009, selling 9 million copies.As for Chinese grassroots stars, experts say besides big dreams, they need more originalcompositions to achieve big results.47. From the text we know that Xu Ri Yang Gang got popular through _____.A. CCTVB. newspapersC. contestsD. the Internet48. It can be inferred from the text that _____.A. grassroots stars can’t have a promising future at allB. most of grassroots stars have got professional skillsC. grassroots stars need to focus more on their original worksD. talent show is the only way for grass roots stars to become popular49. What is the author’s attitude towards the rising grassroots stars?A. supportiveB. criticalC. neutralD. ironic50. What would be the best title for the text?A. Rising grassroots stars.B. Grassroots stars’ lives.C. Ways of grassroots getting famous.D. The future of grassroots stars.第二节补全对话(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)根据对话内容, 从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并将答案写在二卷对应位置（否则不予给分）, 选项中有两项多余选项。
