5.Hundreds of years ago,news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse.It took days,weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news.Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds.Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day,either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century.Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers.How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print?Why do they print some stories and not others?What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly,it is important to report news stories.TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers.Yet,newspapers give more about the same story.They may also look at the story in another way,or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.
Secondly,a news story has to be interesting and unusual.People don't want to read stories about everyday life.As a result,many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be"bad"news.For example,newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.
Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories.Many people are interested in news in foreign countries,but more prefer to read stories about people,places and events in their own country.So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British,F(xiàn)rench and American newspapers.

21.According to the passage,how do people learn about news stories in the world now?C
A.They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.
B.They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.
C.They watch TV or read newspapers.
D.They listen to the radio every day.
22.The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is thatA.
A.people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaper
B.people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper
C.people can read news stories in other countries
D.people can read news stories about their own country
23.To make a good newspaper story,how many factors does the passage talk aboutB?
A.Two.B.Three.C.Five.D.Six.
24.According to the passage,which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?C
A.You often play football with your friends after school.
B.Your teacher has got a cold.
C.A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught.
D.The bike in front of your house is lost.

分析 文章講的是新聞的兩種傳途徑:電視和報紙,并講了如何成就好的報紙故事的方法.

解答 21.C 細節(jié)題,根據(jù)第一段either by watching TV or reading newspapers可知有兩種途徑:電視和報紙,故選C.
22.A 推理題的考查.從第二段newspapers give more about the same story可知報紙多講的是相同的故事.從TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers電視要比報紙快一些,故B錯.C,D文章并未講,故選A.
23.B 細節(jié)題.從文章來看有三個,文章用了first,second,another factor來說,故三個方面,選B.
24.C 根據(jù)文章a news story has to be interesting and unusual可知新故事要求趣味性及不尋常性,再從many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be"bad"news可知要有一定的危險性的,故C考慮從動物園跑出來最合適.

點評 這篇文章非常簡單,先看問題,再帶著問題仔細閱讀短文,理解了全文內(nèi)容,很容易選出正確答案.閱讀注意事項:1、關(guān)注連詞,分析文章邏輯結(jié)構(gòu).2、聚焦代詞,明辨指代關(guān)系.3、抓住關(guān)鍵詞語,利用平行結(jié)構(gòu)、上下文(包括定義、釋義、舉例、對比、標點)進行判斷與推理.4、了解一些構(gòu)詞法,從詞根的特殊含義入手.

13.Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(難為情)when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn't have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it's time to repaint,go blue.
Don't forget the clock-or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes,And while you're at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(攝入)jumps by 14 percent.And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.

21.The text is especially helpful for those who care aboutD.
A.their home comforts
B.house buying
C.healthy diets 
D.their body shape
22.A home environment in blue can help peopleC.
A.digest food better
B.burn more calories
C.reduce food intake
D.regain their appetites
23.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A
A.Use smaller spoons.
B.Eat quickly.
C.Play fast music.
D.Turn down the lights.
24.What can be a suitable title for the test?B
A.Ways of Serving Dinner
B.Is Your House Making You Fat?
C.Effects of Self-Consciousness
D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

20.Hank Viscardi was 26years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes.For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be--a full five feet eight inches tall.
Hank had been born without legs.Until he was seven,his world was a world of repeated operations.At last,he had no legs,but stumps (殘肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.
Out of the hospital,Hank often found people slating at him with cruel interest.Children laughed at him and called him"Ape man"because his arms dragged on the ground.He went to school like other boys.His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.
After graduation,Hank worked his way through college.He swept floors,waited on table,or worked in one of the college offices.During all this busy life,Hank had been moving around on his stumps.But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer.Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair.
Hank felt himself go cold all over.However,the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs.

When World War II came,he persuaded the Red Cross to give him a job.He took the regular training.He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers.Few knew that he was legless.This was the true story of Hank Viscardi,the man without legs.
