Ⅱ.阅读理解

In the near future, daily newspapers and monthly magazines will probably disappear. Electronic media(媒体) can provide the same information faster and cheaper. The Internet, together with laptops and mobile phones, makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.

You’ll browse the computer newspapers or magazines just like turning on TV. An electronic voice will tell you stories about the latest events. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the whole text appear.

There are the predictions from the experts working on the newspapers of the future. Imagined as part of home media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers and magazines would unite printed and broadcast news, offering information and analysing video images of news events.

The continuing loss of readers will lead to a small number of advertisements in newspapers. It makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to print ads.

With the development of technology, more and more electronic media have been created until now, but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go, because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism(新闻业) may be much stronger. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be not until the present journalists(新闻工作者), who aren’t used to it, die off that the newspaper industry is not considered as an industry any longer. Anyway, technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.

(　　)1.Computer newspapers and magazines have all the advantages EXCEPT that 　　　　. 

A.you can choose the kind of voice you like to hear

B.they are more expensive than traditional ones

C.you can get more information from them easily

D.you can easily store information for the future use

(　　)2.The underlined word “resistance” in the fifth paragraph probably means “　　　　”. 

A.a thought which directs your action

B.an idea which is different from others

C.a force that helps you do something

D.a force that acts to stop something happening

(　　)3.We can infer from the passage that 　　　　. 

A.new things will replace the old ones in the future

B.traditional newspapers and magazines will disappear soon

C.all technological developments are very important

D.traditional newspapers and magazines will be more popular

(　　)4.The author writes the article to 　　　　. 

A.tell readers what newspapers and magazines are like in the future

B.let people know the great development of the journalism

C.prove newspapers and magazines are not welcomed any more

D.say traditional newspapers and magazines are better than before

Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着科技的发展,传统的报纸和杂志在逐渐退出历史舞台,电子媒体正在迅速发展,但是要取代传统的报纸和杂志还有很长的路要走。

1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段 “The Internet, together with laptops and mobile phones, makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.”可知因特网,连同笔记本电脑和手机,使得几乎每个人都可以在任何时候、任何地方获得一些免费或少量付费的新闻。由此可见,B项是错误的,故选B。

2.D　词义猜测题。根据最后一段“With the development of technology, more and more electronic media have been created until now, but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go, because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism(新闻业) may be much stronger.”可知随着技术的发展,到目前为止,越来越多的电子媒体被创造出来,但是取代传统的报纸和杂志还有很长的路要走,因为传统新闻业对计算机报纸和杂志的抵制可能要强烈得多。由此可见,D项符合语境,故选D。

3.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Anyway, technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.”可知,无论如何,技术正在使传统的报纸和杂志逐渐消失。由此可见,新事物将来终究会取代旧事物,故选A。

4.B　推理判断题。根据整篇文章可知,本文主要介绍了随着科技的发展,传统的报纸和杂志在逐渐退出历史舞台,电子媒体正在迅速发展,但是要取代传统的报刊和杂志还有很长的路要走。由此可见B项“让人们知道新闻业的伟大发展”符合题意,故选B。

Ⅲ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了英国登山家Joe Simpson和同伴Simon Yates攀登秘鲁境内安第斯山脉的Siula Grande峰时的遭遇。他们成功在西坡登顶,但是在下山时却遇到了困难,Joe腿部受伤,但是他们最终还是成功地活了下来。

1.D　根据上文的“They reached the top…”可知,他们成功地(successfully)到达了山顶。故选D项。

2.A　根据下文的“Joe fell and broke his leg.”可知,Joe摔了下来并摔断了他的腿,由此可知,在返回的路上,情况非常困难(difficult)。故选A项。stable稳定的;special特别的;normal正常的。

3.B　上文提及Joe在下山的路上摔了下来并摔断了他的腿,由此可知,他们俩都知道如果Simon一个人继续(continued),他很可能会成功回去。

4.D　在如此困难的情况下,Simon带上受伤的同伴继续下山是在冒着生命(life)的风险。故选D项。

5.C　根据上文的“…the weather got worse. Then another…”以及下文的“They couldn’t see or hear each other…”可知,然后,另一个麻烦事(trouble)发生了。故选C项。

6.A　根据上文的“They couldn’t see or hear each other and…”可知,因为他们彼此不能看到并听到对方,所以Simon误把他的朋友用绳子放到了峭壁上。短语by mistake意为“错误地”,符合语境,故选A项。by chance意外地;by choice自愿;by design故意地,蓄意地。

7.D　因为Joe受了伤,而又在峭壁上,所以对于Joe来说爬上来是不可能的(impossible),同样Simon也不可能把他拉上来。故选D项。unnecessary没有必要的;practical实际的;important重要的。

8.B　上文提及Simon用绳子将Joe放下山去,又根据“…pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice.”可知,是Joe的体重(weight)把Simon慢慢地向峭壁拉去。故选B项。

9.C　根据下文的“…after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold, Simon had to…In tears, he cut the rope.”可知,最后(finally),在黑暗和寒冷中度过了一个多小时后,Simon不得不做出决定。故选C项。casually偶然地,无意地;patiently 耐心地;quickly 快速地。

10.B　根据上文的“In tears, he cut the rope.”可知,Simon切断了绳子。由此可知,Joe掉进了下面冰的巨大的裂缝中。fall 意为“落下,掉落”,符合语境,故选B项。jump跳起来;escape逃跑;back支持,后退。

11.C　根据上文的“He couldn’t walk, but…”可知,他不能走,但他成功地从裂缝中出来了。manage 意为“完成(困难的事),(在某一时间内)能办到”,符合语境,故选C项。

12.A　根据上文的“He couldn’t walk…”可知,他不能走路,因此他从冰的裂缝中出来后,开始向着他们的营地移动(move)。故选A项。

13.D　因为Simon自己继续下山的,所以可知他返回到(returned to)了山脚下的营地。故选D项。head for向……走去;travel to去……旅行;leave for 离开前往。

14.A　根据第二段中的“In tears, he cut the rope.”可知,Simon以为Joe一定死了(dead)。故选A项。

15.C　上文提及Simon以为Joe一定死了,又根据下文的“Joe was there, a few metres from their tent, still alive.”可知,这里指Simon无法相信(believe)这件事。故选C项。

Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在一次竞赛中获奖,并有机会到公元3008年旅行的情况。

1.was awarded　考查动词时态和语态。句子主语和award之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态,且描述的是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时,故填was awarded。

2.uncertain　考查词形转换。此处表示“起初我很紧张,而且不确定”。空处作表语,所以用形容词,故填uncertain。

3.which/that　考查定语从句。先行词为物,在定语从句中作主语,故填which或that。

4.called　考查非谓语动词。call和它所修饰的名词company之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语,故填called。

5.the　考查冠词。此处特指“那个时刻”,所以用定冠词,故填the。

6.gently　考查词形转换。根据前面的动词swung,可知填副词修饰,故填gently。

7.its　考查形容词性物主代词。名词的前面应用形容词性物主代词修饰,故填its。

8.arriving　考查非谓语动词。句子主语I和arrive之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语,故填arriving。

9.of　考查介词。这个房间的墙是由树制成的。be made of…由……制成(可以看出原材料),故填of。

10.leaves　考查名词复数。leaf为可数名词,这里应用复数,故填leaves。
