Unit 1 Cultural relics李仕才一、阅读理解。

(2018·山西高考前适应性测试)When people find out that I am a journalist, they often ask me: What do you think about the future of newspapers?I tell them that I think the future of communications is moving online. People expect me to be fearful for the future of print. After all, in some people’s minds I wouldn’t be able to build a career in journalism if it all moves online. However, strangely enough, I’m actually comforted by the fact that online journalism is becoming usual. I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online.Since I began writing blogs, I have become aware of how many people you can reach with online writing. Compare this to the newspapers’circulation base, and you will have a strong reason for online journalism.In her successful blog post titled The job I have spent the last year learning is not the one I will have, author Jenny Surane states, “Print is an expensive product to love. And general managers, publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers’ heads.”She goes on to state that people don’t feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll(滚屏) through their Twitter feed, and get news from many different sources.If print is dying, then a new form of communicating information is being born. The need for information has not died. If anything, it has increased. What has died, rather, is the way in which information is presented.Now more than ever, in this age of information, there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view. The printing industry can keep pace with the need of providing a variety of sources, if it chooses to.Is the future of print grim? Maybe. But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people grim as well? Definitely not.【解题导语】作者是一名记者。

Cultural relics李仕才***阅读理解“Congratulations,Mr.Jones!It’s a girl.”Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words.Some feel proud when they receive the news,while others worry,wondering whether they will be good fathers.Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them,others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them.Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time.For other couples,pregnancy(怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child,it is obvious that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task.Yet,unfortunately,few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization process.Although many good books have been written about American mothers,only recently have some books discussed the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s role,although difficult,is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to th e mother’s role.The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation of daily routine and adaptation to a new life,on the other hand,the father’s role is less demanding and immediate.However,even though we have mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home,the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.1.According to the author,being a father________.A.brings a feeling of excitement to some menB.has a different meaning for those who have daughtersC.makes some men feel proud and others uneasyD.means nothing but more responsibilities2.It is stated in the passage that______.A.some parents are not prepared to have a childB.young couples do not like children at allC.working couples do not have much time to take care of their childrenD.many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child3.The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife____.A.changes her life style in a quite different wayB.makes a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situationC.stays at home to take care of the babyD.helps her husband in his re-socialization process参考答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.B解析：本文主要讲述从丈夫的角色转换到父亲的角色是一个很难的过程。

Cultural relics李仕才一、阅读理解Some pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic，according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study，published in the journal Biology Letters，is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal，influencing judgment.Asher，a researcher at the University of Newcastle's Institute of Neuroscience，and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft，deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks，the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this，we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans，which pigs find bittertasting，”a researcher said.Over a number of training trials，pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary，they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations，to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside，showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others，however，behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans，displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one­size­fits­all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people，there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.1．What was the study trying to figure out?A．How to make pigs happier.B．The similarities between humans and pigs.C．How living environment affected pigs' mood.D．How pigs' mood and personality affected their judgment.2．What does the underlined word “cushier”in Paragraph 2 mean?2 2 A．Simple. B．More comfortable.C．Unpractical. D．Less free.3．Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?A．The bowl with chocolate sweets.B．The bowl containing coffee beans.C．The bowl full of both sweets and beans.D．The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.4．What do the findings of the new research imply?A．People should treat pigs equally.B．People's health relies on meat quality.C．People should meet pigs' various needs.D．People's attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.【解题导语】本文是一篇研究报告，讲述情绪和性格在动物中的相互作用。
