The actual history of magazines can date back to the newspaper industry. The newspaper industry wanted to do more in­depth articles and articles that needed much more research.  From time to time,  the larger newspapers included weekly insert sections (插入版块) that were smaller. These inserts would include longer stories,  in­depth interviews, and of course, photographs. It was in these inserts that the first magazines were born. Of course, this was an idea that soon took off. The readers loved having these small inserts which were convenient for them to take and read when they were free. As time went by, people became more interested in the world around them. Magazines began to realize that they would benefit (受益) from being specialized. For example, as voting numbers grew in the United States, magazines that were only about election news and politics began to come  out. Nowadays, magazines can be found on many different topics. Schools put out magazines for various reasons, so do companies and businesses. The industry has completely grown and succeeded. The other side of the magazine industry is known as gossip magazines. These are magazines that focus on the people that are well known. These magazines sometimes contain correct information about their private lives, and sometimes contain information that doesn't come from facts.All in all, magazines work together to fill an important position. Unlike non­fiction books that can take months to be put out into the market, and unlike newspapers that need to be put out each day, magazines are put out each week, every two weeks, each month, or in longer periods.  This means that they can still put out news that is fresh, but that their reporters can take the time that they need to provide their readers with well­written stories.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了杂志的形成、发展以及杂志的种类等。1．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the magazine ________.A．was difficult for the reporters to researchB．started from the inserts of some newspapersC．experienced the same history as the newspaperD．developed as fast as the newspaper in the past答案：B　细节理解题。根据第一段最后三句可知，一些大型的报纸特设了插入版块，而最初的杂志就是由此演变而来的。2．Why did specialized magazines about political news appear in the United States?A．To educate the public.B．To introduce great leaders.C．To draw readers' attention.D．To get support from famous leaders.答案：C　推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，杂志(经营者)开始意识到专门化的内容更能够吸引读者购买杂志，进而从中受益(挣更多的钱)。所举的美国开始出现专门刊登政治新闻的杂志的例子正是为了证明这一点。3．Gossip magazines are the ones that ________.A．include nothing but untrue informationB．are mainly about important election newsC．make more people become famous quicklyD．mainly introduce famous people's private lives答案：D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，八卦杂志主要介绍一些名人的私生活。4．Compared with newspapers, magazines ________.A．focus more on politicsB．have many more readers C．provide readers with better­written stories D．take a shorter time to be put out into the market答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章最后两句可知，与报纸相比，杂志的记者在报道新闻时会花费更多的时间以保证新闻内容更充实。B(2019·全国卷Ⅲ)Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The trend, then, was toward the“penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper；perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well­known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for“the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国报纸大众化的发展过程。5．Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?A．Academic.   B．Unattractive.C．Inexpensive.   D．Confidential.答案：B　细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句可知，当时的美国报纸既枯燥又在视觉上令人生畏，故选unattractive “不吸引人的”。6．What did street sales mean to newspapers?A．They would be priced higher.B．They would disappear from cities.C．They could have more readers.D．They could regain public trust.答案：C　推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段可知，报纸当时的变化趋势是越来越面向大众，变得更便宜，而且在街上就可以买到一份报纸，由此可推断报纸的街头销售意味着“报纸可以拥有更多的读者”，故选C项。7．Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?A．Local politicians.   B．Common people.C．Young publishers.   D．Rich businessmen.答案：B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，报纸发展的新趋势的目标读者是普通人，故选B项。8．What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A．It was a difficult process.B．It was a temporary success.C．It was a robbery of the poor.D．It was a disaster for printers.答案：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，报纸的大众化新趋势进展得并不容易，经过了早期一些企业的失败，然后通过一些年轻而勇敢的商人的努力才成功，由此推知，大众报的出现不是一帆风顺的，故选A项。Ⅲ.短文改错(2019·全国卷Ⅰ)I became interesting in playing football thanks to a small accident. One afternoon where I was in primary school, I was walking by the school playground. Suddenly football fell just in front of me but almost hit me. I stopped the ball and kicked it hardly back to the playground. To everyone's surprising, the ball went into the net. All the football player on the playground cheered loudly, say that I had a talent for football. From now on, I started to play my football with classmates after school. I am a good player now.答案：1．第一句：interesting→interested　考查形容词。become interested in “变得对……感兴趣”。2．第二句：where→when　考查定语从句的引导词。先行词one afternoon是表示时间的名词，后面的定语从句应用when引导。3．第三句：football前加a　考查冠词。此处是泛指“一个足球”，应用不定冠词a。4．第三句：but→and　考查连词。“一个足球正好落在我面前”与“差点儿打到我”之间是顺承关系，故用并列连词and。5．第四句：hardly→hard　考查副词。此处表示“用力把足球踢回操场”，应用副词hard “用力地”。hardly也是副词，但意为“几乎不”。6．第五句：surprising→surprise　考查固定搭配。to one's surprise “令某人惊讶的是”。7．第六句：player→players　考查名词。根据前面的all可知，player应用复数形式players。8．第六句：say→saying　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，cheered是谓语动词，say前没有并列连词，所以say只能用非谓语动词形式；主语与say之间是主动关系，故用现在分词短语作状语。9．第七句：now→then　考查副词。文章讲述的是过去发生的事情，应该用from then on，意为“从那时起”。from now on意为“从现在起”。10．第七句：去掉my　考查动词。play football “踢足球”。“play＋球类名词”，固定搭配，中间不加冠词或形容词性物主代词。
