题型专项突破-Unit4 阅读理解（新闻篇）一、阅读理解1.The Internet is redrawing the media landscape and will be for decades to come, but traditional media will not be left out of the picture, two journalism professors of University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa argued. Ed Mullins, chairman of the Journalism Department, and Jim Stovall, the founder of Dateline Alabama? the new website of the College of Communication and Information Sciences, agree that the future of the web is still a mystery, but argue that, in the near future, it will serve more as a helpmate to traditional media.“Nobody knows where the web is taking us, but when it comes to journalism, old media will be dominant players in the new media game, ” Mullins believes. “Some rating services report that most Americans go to sites operated by old-line media when looking for news on the web. ”Just as national old media dominate the web at that level, local old media run mostly by newspapers and, to a lesser degree, by television stations, dominate those markets. Is there a pattern here? Yes, say Mullins and Stovall. “At least in the first decade of the web, newspaper companies dominate web journalism, ” Mullins explains. “Why? They specialize in news, and that gives them an advantage. What most readers go to websites for are news and e-mail, a form of person-to- person news, especially in the form of chatting. ”The reason for newspapers’ dominance in web journalism, Stovall points out, is that they have the biggest investment in news. “The Birmin gham News, for example, with about 175 positions, has more journalists on its payroll than all of the state’s broadcast, cable, and web—only entities combined. ”(1) What role does the Internet play in journalism according to Paragraph 1?A. It dominates the media market.B. It is likely to threaten the future of traditional media.C. It becomes a helpful partner of print media.D. It revolutionizes journalism.(2) The following statements prove that old media still dominate web journalism EXCEPT________.A. people prefer traditional media when looking for newsB. old media have the most important position in local marketsC. newspaper companies have more control in web journalismD. few people go to websites to get news(3) Traditional media dominate web journalism because________.A. news and advertising are their only businessB. they invest more money in newsC. web companies dare not compete with themD. they enjoy privileges in journalism(4) What is the best title for the passage?A. Internet won’t eli minate print mediaB. Internet challenges traditional mediaC. Looking for news on the webD. Journalism should be dominated by web(5) What is the author’s attitude towards the future of traditional media?A. Negative.B. Critical.C. Concerned.D. Optimistic.2.The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700’s the world’s first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn’t have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (《每日新闻》). It came out in March 1702.In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (《波士顿新闻通讯》), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1, 800 daily papers in the United States.Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行量)in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun (《读卖新闻》). It sells more than 10 million copies every day.(1) The first daily newspaper came out in________.A. 59 BCB. 700’sC. 1609D. 1620(2) The first regularly published newspaper in Europe was printed in ________.A. EnglandB. GermanyC. FranceD. Sweden(3) The first printed newspaper in America came out in________.A. WashingtonB. New YorkC. BostonD. New Orleans(4) Today there are about ________daily newspapers printed in the United States.A.1, 621B.1, 704C.1, 760D.1, 800(5) Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam.B. English language newspapers sell more than 10 million copies every day.C. Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper in 1608.D. The first daily English newspaper came out in March.3.As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the formation again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave facts to remember, and told them where to find the formation on the computer. The information was in a specify computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置)better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories；that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.(1) The passage begins with two questions to________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author’s attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. remember how to find the information(2) In transactive memory, people ________.A. keep the memory in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information(3) What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s search?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.4.Newspapers are one method of bringing the news to the public. Reporters, photographers, correspondents, and editors are some of the people who create newspapers. They are known as journalists.Reporters are journalists who go out and get the news. They attend meetings. They cover events such as court cases, plays, and sporting events. They interview people to get their views about what is going on. Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline. People do not want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens. Reporters sometimes phone or e-mail their notes and quotations (引用语) to the paper from the scene. A reporter in the office then writes the story.A “stringer” is a part­time reporter who works when called upon. A fire might break out in one part of town. An editor may ask a stringer who lives near the scene to cover the story.Reporters often work with photographers, or photojournalists. Photojournalists take the pictures that illustrate (图解) the stories in a newspaper. They have to edit their pictures in time for them to appear with the story.A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he or she has special knowledge in. Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there. A paper may have a correspondent who covers just medical news.An editor is a journalist who works at a desk in a newspaper office. Editors prepare the reporters’ stories to be printed in the paper. They decide which story is most important and gets the front-page headline. They decide which pictures to use. Editors do not often write the news, but they do write editorials (社论) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue.People who work as journalists have some things in common. They are curious, they like to write, and they have a “nose for news”．They can spot news as it happens. They know what people want to read about.(1)The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.A. readersB. journalistsC. reportersD. stringers(2) A journalist working abroad to report news may be called________.A. a stringerB. a photojournalistC. an editorD. a correspondent(3) According to the passage, both the reporter and the editor________.A. usually work in the officeB. decide which pictures to useC. have the ability to discover newsD. often write editorials for their paper(4) The passage is mainly written to________.A. introduce different posts and duties of journalistsB. describe the characters of journalistsC. explain how the news is collectedD. show how reporters work(5)Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A.B.C.D.CP：Central Point P：PointSp：Sub-point (次要点) C：Conclusion参考答案：1.

William Randolph Hearst.BCallaghan, father of a teenage girl — Emma, couldn?t understand why hehad developed a disease which normally affects men twice his age. “I was by myself,” Callaghan recalled. “I thought it was a kidney stone (肾结石). I was in the doctor’s office for about 45 minutes that day. I don’t remember anything more than one minute of it.” He believed anyone who hadhis condition would live only 12 months. And he would take tablets every day,possibly for the rest of his life.Callaghan began finding hope in a small act of love for Emma: handwritingnotes of love on a napkin and placing it in her lunch box; nothing unusual orlife-changing, just some words of encouragement to Emma to think of duringthe day. His numbered days meant numbered napkins. “The reason why Istarted writing notes to her is that I want to matter in her life,” Callaghan said. “I see so many working parents today who giveup a lot of their parenting. Iwant Emma to be able to look at me at whatever age she is and say ?My dadloves me. I need his advice, I need his love and I trust that my dad?s going tobe there.?”But what started out as a father?s way of showing his daughter his lovequickly grew. His idea of sharing his inspirational napkin messages withfriends and family on Facebook got a generous response from the media. Hisnew book Napkin Notes shares each message he?s ever sent to his daughter aswell as more about his brave battle against cancer and life lessons he hopesEmma and maybe even grown readers can learn.Now Callaghan is still fighting for his life. “The act of taking a napkin,holding my pen and thinking of something to write down inspires me just asmuch as I hope it inspires my daughter,” Callaghan said. 5. What doubt did Callaghan have in Para. 1?A. Why he suffered the disease twice.B. Why he had the disease at an early age.C. Why he had to receive treatment twice.D. Why the disease affected more men than women. 6. Why did Callaghan write notes to his daughter?A. He felt lucky to be her father.B. He desired to change her life.C. He decided to number his days in this way.D. He found it a good way to inspire both of them. 7. According to the text, what?s Callaghan like?A. Creative.B. Confident.C. Humorous.D.

The moon is located almost 240,000 miles from the Earth. Armstrong andhis crew, which included fellow astronauts Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz”Aldrin, began their journey into space on the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (登月舱) on July 16, 1969. Armstrong was the commander of the mission (任务) andhe was the one who piloted the aircraft to the surface of the moon. At almost11 pm on July 20, 1969, Armstrong exited the craft and set foot on the moon,saying the now famous words, “That?s one small step for a man, one giant leapfor mankind.” Aldrin later exited the Apollo 11 Lunar Module as he and Armstrongcollected samples (样品) from the moon that they could bring back to theEarth with them and study.

Itwas the first media to report on the breaking news. How?It used a robot. Ken Schwencke, a journalist and programmer for the LATimes said that an algorithm (算法) he created called Quakebot was behind thestory. It?s the latest example of robot journalism, a developing practice that hasinterested many news organizations as it could change the game of breakingnews.Schwencke said that when he was woken by the earthquake on Mondaymorning, he simply got out of bed, opened his computer, and found therobot-writtenstory alreadyfinished in the system. All he had to do was click (点击) “publish”.The algorithms can produce news stories on earthquakes and crime in thecity, and it is then the job of the paper?s staff to determine which stories shouldbe developed further. For this reason, Schwencke disagrees with the guess thatrobo-journalism could replace human writers. “It saves people a lot of time,and for certain types of stories, it gets the information out there in usuallyabout as good a way as anybody else would. It doesn?t eliminate anybody?s jobas much as it makes everybody?s job more interesting,” he said.Check out the robot?s original report below: An earthquake measuring4.7 was reported five miles from Westwood, California on Mondaymorning,according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
