【金识源专版】高中英语Unit4MakingthenewsGrammar素材新人教版必修5The history of newspapers can date back some five centuries ago. In Renaissance Europe handwritten newsletters were passed among merchants, bringing information about everything from wars and economic conditions to social customs and human interest. The first printed newspaper appeared in Germany in the late 1400's in the form of news pamphlets.In the English-speaking world, the earliest form of newspapers is corantos, small news pamphlets produced only when some important events happened. The first true newspaper in English was the London Gazette of 1666. For a generation it was the only officially approved newspaper.In America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690, entitled Publick Occurrences. Published without authority, it was immediately stopped, its publisher arrested, and all copies were destroyed. The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter,begun by postmaster John Campbell in 1704. Although it was helped by the colonial government, not many people bought it. By the eve of the Revolutionary War, two dozen papers were published at all the colonies, although Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years.In 1783, by the end of the war, there were forty-three newspapers in print. The press played a vital role in the affairs of the new nation; many more newspapers were started, representing all sides of political opinion. The official approval of the Bill of Rights in 1791 at last gave freedom of the press, and America's newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs. In 1830s, advances in printing and papermaking technology led to an explosion of newspaper growth, the emergence of the "Penny Press"; it was now possible to produce a newspaper that could be sold for just a cent a copy. Before, only the rich people could buy newspapers. The price of a year's subscription(订金), usually was over a full week's pay for a worker. This sudden availability of cheap, interesting reading material was a significant achievement in the history of newspaper.The industrial revolution, as it transformed all aspects of American life and society, also affected newspapers. The numbers of papers continued to rise. In the 1850's powerful, giant presses appeared, able to print ten thousand complete papers per hour. At this time the first "pictorial" weekly newspapers emerged; they featured for the first time extensive illustrations of events in the news. During the Civil War the demand for timely, accurate news reporting changed American journalism into an important force in the national life. Reporters, called "specials," were lovedby the public. Newspaper growth continued in the postwar years. By the 1890's the first circulation figures of a million copies per issue were recordedIn our time, radio and television have gradually taken the place of newspapers as the nation's primary information sources, so it may be a little hard to understand the role that newspapers have played in our history.。

三、单元自测1.完形填空阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21—30各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳melting glaciers(冰川). NASA researchers have 21 90 ducks into holes in Greenland's fastest moving glacier, the Jakobshavn Glacier between Greenland and Canada. The 22 have each been marked with the words "science experiment" along with an e-mail address. If they are found scientists will be able to 23 how the water moves through the ice and provide information about the 24 of glaciers. Scientists are still 25 about why glaciers speed up in summer and head towards the sea. One theory is that as the summer sun melts ice on top of the glacier’s surface, the water moves to the bottom of the glacier, where it helps to 26 the movement of ice towards the coast. The Jakobshavn Glacier is believed to be the 27 of the iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912. Robert Jones, the experiment organizer, said none of the ducks had been 28 yet. “We haven’t heard back but it may take some time until somebody actually finds it and decides to send us a/an 29 that they have found it,” he said. “These are places that are 30 so there aren't many people walking around."21.

create newspapers.They are known as journ alists.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 email 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 part time 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 t heir 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 rge newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there.A paper may have a correspondent who covers just med ical 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 the most important and gets the frontpage 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 h ave a “nose for news”．They can spot news as it happens.They know what people want to read about.36．The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.A．readers B．journalistsC．reporters D．stringers37．A journalist working abroad to report news may be called

the ability to discover newsD．often write editorials for their paper39．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 workBNewspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past.There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day.Most people only read the sports pages，the advice or the gossip columns，the comics，and perhaps the classified advertisements.Most people don't take time to read real news.They attempt to catch the reader's interest with pictures and exciting headlines.These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper.The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper.This is why editors always look for a good first page story and a headline to make them stop and look.If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough，perhaps they will go on to read the front page.However，they may read the headlines，but that is all，then they turn to the sports page，or comics，or advertisements.It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper any more.They say they get the news on television now.More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper.What about you？Do you read news from a newspaper？Do you think it is easier to get news from television？Or do you care about news at all？Would you mind if there were no news?40．We can know from the passage that newspaper editors think the important part of a newspaper is ______.A．the front pageB．the sports pageC．the headlinesD．the classified advertisements41．According to the author，which of the following newspapers will most probably attract the reader's attention?A．The ones with interesting pictures and exciting headlines on the front

We don't ask simple questions. We just talk, and we talk, and we talk. We forget why we're there. (We are there to acquire information.) When we're talking, we're not acquiring anything.”Effective interviewing is a pillar of good reporting and writing. The abilityto talk comfortably with people and to persuade them to give you information is oneof the reporter's most impotant skills. Yet journalists get little or no trainingin this vital aspect of their job. Most learn by painful trial and error.To help rectify（调整）that situation, this Best Newspaper Writing brown bag is devoted to interviewing skills. Listen to winners and finalists talk about successful interviewing techniques, practise some of these tips, and explore other resources.“Somebody once wrote that there's no more seductive sentence in the English language than, ‘I want to hear your story,' and maybe they're right,” Albom said in Best Newspaper Writing 1996. “Because often you don't have to do any more than just say that.”During my reporting career, using a tape recorder taught me my most important lesson of interviewing: to shut up. It was a painful learning experience, having to listen to myself stepping on people's words, cutting them off just as they were getting enthusiastic or appeared about to make a revealing statement. There were far too many times I heard myself asking overly long and leading questions, instead of simply saying, “Why?” or “How did it happen?” or “What do you mean?” and then closing my mouth and letting people answer.1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How to talk with peopleB. How to ask questionsC. The experience of a reporterD.

Well known to one billion viewers, Yang Lan is among China's most popular TV personalities. Born in Beijing in 1968, Yang Lan began her career as the host for the popular “Zheng Da TV show”. She was only 21 at the time and had just graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University. Becoming the host of a show with an audience of 200 million at such a young age was a big challenge, but Yang Lan was ready for it and quickly became popular.Many of us would probably have stayed on to enjoy the fame and money that come with being a TV star, but Yang Lan had more important plans. She left the show after four years and went to New York City to get a Master's degree at Columbia University. Her experience abroad inspired her and she made up her mind to create a new kind of TV station for Chinese viewers. When Yang Lan returned to China, she decided to develop her interests in business. Together with her husband, she started her own media company, Sun Media.When Yang Lan grew up, TV was a new thing at the time, but Yang Lan thought that the powerful medium could be used in a different way. She wanted to make new shows that were both entertaining and educational. When she was studying abroad, she produced a feature show called “Horizon”. The show introduced American popular culture to Chinese viewers. Viewers liked the first season of “Horizon”, but Yang Lan wanted to do something more serious and meaningful. The following year, she began in interviewing important people, such as Dr Henry Kissinger, and discussing social issues. Her viewers were pleased and the show became even more popular. She later devoted “Yang Lan One on One”, having interviewing more than 300 opinion leaders around the world.Note:Oprah－ Oprah Winfrey, the American TV personality.5.

ALots of students know what a marathon(马拉松赛跑) is, but perha ps they don’t know what triathlon is. The triathlon is a sport that has three parts — swimming, bicycling and running. It is not an easy sport, but a man named Joe Salter is very good at it. A few months ago, he finished a special triathlon—he juggled(抛起接住) three balls all the time during the triathlon. That is to say, he kept on throwing and catching three balls while he was swimming, riding a bicycle and running.31-year-old Joe is from Florida, the USA. He loves juggling and he started at the age of 8. Joe did well in juggling. Later, he got the idea to do a triathlon and juggle at the same time to make it more fun. Many juggling fans laughed at his idea and thought it was just a joke. But Joe didn’t give up and he kept practicing it. Because of his hard work, he made it at last.Talking about his triathlon, Joe said swimming was the hardest part. “It was difficult and complex,” he said. “I basically only used my legs, so it took quite a lot of work. Also, swimming in open water made it a little harder. It was not like in a pool. ”1. According to the writer, the common triathlon ______.A. is a difficult sportB. is more famous than the marathonC. includes the three parts and jugglingD. includes the marathon and swimming2. Joe’s triathlon was spe cial because ______ during the triathlon.A. he picked up three ballsB. he played jugglingC. he carried his bicycle on his shoulderD. he threw away all his balls3. Many juggling fans thought Joe’s idea ______.A. could not be realizedB. should not be laughed atC. should be realized as soon as possibleD. could make triathlon more exciting4. The underlined part “made it” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “______”.A. forgotB. failedC. succeededD. leftB“BANG!” the do or caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise ap artment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.. I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?” In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except father’s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----it’s second to none.5.Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a. I opened the door and entered the house.b. I ran out into the street angrily.c.

He felt uncomfortable because it was a very hot night.C. He was completely disappointed with his father.D. He was at a loss because he had nowhere to go.CFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships travelling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light ye ars of Earth. In addition, they scan the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at a time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy (银河星系), scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like Earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our Galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasn't been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our Galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our Galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that case, some scientists think that it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals, perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.9.The first two paragraphs in the text are mainly about ________ scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets.A. whenB. whyC. whereD. how10.According to the text, how many planets in our Galaxy might be inhabitable?A. 5 billion.B. 10 billion.C. 15 billion.D. 200 billion.11.Why do some scientists think there might be more advanced civilizations on other planets?A. They are good at observing everything in the sky.B. Some planets in our Galaxy are much younger than Earth.C. They have been to some of the other planets in our Galaxy.D. Some planets in our Galaxy are much older than Earth.12.It can be learned from the text that ________.A. the sun is one of the oldest planets in our GalaxyB. some scientists think that we should continue the searchC. scientists don't believe that there might be life on other planetsD. most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planetsDIf you're ever apart from your children, a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug.If you're a parent who spends long hours on the job, you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids. But the results of a new study show that a mother's voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact .In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges — a stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones (荷尔蒙): cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods, and oxytocin, the "love" hormone, which goes down at the same time.After the girls finished the problems, some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didn't see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, in which their mothers told them how well they'd done. The final group had no contact with their mothers, but instead watched an animal movie, March of the Penguins.Finally, the girls' hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting, it did nothing to reduce the children's anxiety — but, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls' stress levels.So, no matter how old you are, if you're feeling stressed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.13. If a girl is under stress, .A. she can't solve math problemsB. she will have high levels of hormoneC. oxytocin will remain at a high levelD. cortisol will go up with oxytocin down14. From the passage, we can infer that .A. it is easy for girls to solve math problemsB. the girls who had watched the movie remained anxiousC. mothers should hug their kids as often as possibleD. older girls have higher cortisol than younger ones15. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Mother's voice can comfort her anxious kids.B. Mothers should often hug their kids.C. Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.D. Scientists discovered why kids become stressed when having tests.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
