分析 本文屬于廣告類閱讀,主要向我們介紹了蘋果公司最暢銷的使徒步旅行更有趣的五大手機應(yīng)用程序,使讀者更加了解這些程序.

解答 70.C 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)And even if there are post offices where you are traveling,sometimes it's easier,cheaper,and more fun to send your own DIY messages home.可知Postagram可以使你立即收到遠方的問候,故選C.
71.C 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)You can upload all the sounds as"non-shared'files so you can download them to your computer for continued storage and editing.可知這個應(yīng)用程序通過使用者自己選取是否上傳聲音來保護使用者的隱私,故選C.
72.A 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)Download before you leave or use your phone's data connection to view maps from Google (satellite,landscape,cycling,and street),or Bing (shaded relief,street,or image).可知使用全球定位系統(tǒng)不必在線上傳數(shù)據(jù),所以A正確,誤解分析:Appisfree!/1 dollar per card可知賀卡不是免費的,因此B錯;文章沒有提到是誰首先提出soundcloud的想法,因此C錯;Don't forget to download it into your i-phone.可知有的應(yīng)用需要下載,因此D錯;故選A.
73.A 文章出處題,文中提到了徒步旅行中的定位,因此文章最可能出自國家地理,故選A.

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

3.Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you.In fact,he's one of your best reporters.He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (簡歷) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you.The headlines showed you played them proudly.With great enthusiasm,he talked about how he finds issues (問題),approaches them,and writes about them,which tells me he is one of your best.I'm sure you would hate to lose him.Surprisingly,your reporter is not unhappy.In fact,he told me he really likes his job.He has a great assignment (分工),and said you run a great paper.It would be easy for you to keep him,he said.He knows that the paper values him.He appreciates the responsibility you've given him,takes ownership of his profession,and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him.He wants to be pushed,challenged,coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions,but his editors usually ask how long the story will be,when it will be in,where it can play,and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into grea t ones.He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out,exploring the best ways to report it.He wants to be more valuable for your paper.That's what you want for him,too,isn't it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters,copy editors,photographers,artists---everyone--is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential.If we can't do it,they'll find someone who can.

60.What does the writer think of the reporter?C
A.Optimistic.
B.Imaginative.
C.Ambitious.
D.Proud.
61.What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?D
A.Finding the news value of his stories.
B.Giving him financial support.
C.Helping him to find issues.
D.Improving his good ideas.
62.Who probably wrote the letter?A
A.An editor.
B.An artist.
C.A reporter.
D.A reader.
63.The letter aims to remind editors that they shouldC
A.keep their best reporters at all costs
B.give more freedom to their reporters
C.be aware of their reporters'professional development
D.a(chǎn)ppreciate their reporters'working styles and attitudes.
