第7题：
Text 2 Whatever happened to the death of newspaper?A year ago the end seemed near.The recession threatened to remove the advertising and readers that had not already fled to the Internet.Newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle were chronicling their own doom.America's Federal Trade Commission launched a round of talks about how to save newspapers.Should they become charitable corporations?Should the state subsidize them?It will hold another meeting soon.But the discussions now seem out of date.In much of the world there is little sign of crisis.German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession.Even American newspapers,which inhabit the most troubled corner of the global industry,have not only survived but often returned to profit.Not the 20%profit margins that were routine a few years ago,but profit all the same.It has not been much fun.Many papers stayed afloat by pushing journalists overboard.The American Society of News Editors reckons that 13,500 newsroom jobs have gone since 2007.Readers are paying more for slimmer products.Some papers even had the nerve to refuse delivery to distant suburbs.Yet these desperate measures have proved the right ones and,sadly for many journalists,they can be pushed further.Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses,with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers.American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads.Fully 87%of their revenues came from advertising in 2008,according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation&Development（OECD）.In Japan the proportion is 35%.Not surprisingly,Japanese newspapers are much more stable.The whirlwind that swept through newsrooms harmed everybody,but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspapers are least distinctive.Car and film reviewers have gone.So have science and general business reporters.Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.Newspapers are less complete as a result.But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business.
What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the current newspaper business?A.Distinctiveness is an essential feature of newspapers.
B.Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspaper.
C.Foreign bureaus play a crucial role in the newspaper business.
D.Readers have lost their interest in car and film reviews.答案：A解析：推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题，需要锁定和理解文章末段的具体信息，从而推理得出答案。【直击答案】根据最后一段首句but后内容可知“受创最严重的是报社中最不具特色的领域”，即特色性很重要，因此A项正确。【干扰排除】由末段倒数第二句“Newspapers…result.”可知完整性是报业的结果而不是报业失败的原因，B项属于因果倒置，故错误。句子“Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.”并未提及驻外机构在报业中起到什么作用，C项属于无中生有，故不选。由句子“Car and film reviewers have gone”可知“汽车和电影的评论员已消失。”从中无法得知读者对其失去兴趣，D项属于过度推理，不选。 -
第8题：
A.Needs of the readers all over the world
B.Causes of the public disappointment about newspapers
C.Origins of the declining newspaper industry
D.Aims of a journalism credibility project答案：B解析：文章首段首句提到Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers？ ...Is trying to answer this painful question.(为什么那么多美国人不相信自己在报纸上看到的东西？……正试着回答这个痛苦的问题)。下文还提到But the sources of distrust go way deeper(但对媒体的不信任有更深刻的原因)，There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers(新闻记者和读者之间存在着社会和文化方面的脱节)，This is an explosive situation for any industry，particularly a declining one(这对任何一个行业来说都算是爆炸性的形势，对于一个正在衰落的行业来说尤其如此)，从这些都可以看出，本文旨在探讨公众对报纸失望的原因，故本题选B。参考译文：为什么那么多美国人不相信自己在报纸上看到的东西？美国新闻编辑协会正试着回答这个令人头疼的问题。该组织正通过一个新闻可信度调查项目进行长期深入的自我剖析。遗憾的是，这个项目只获得了一些浅显的线索，诸如新闻报道中的事实错误、拼写或语法错误，和这些低水平的发现交织在一起的还有许多令人头疼的困惑，譬如读者到底想读些什么。但这种对媒体的不信任有更深刻的根源。多数新闻记者都学着用一套标准的模式去看待世界，并把每天发生的事件纳入这种模式。换言之，在新闻编辑圈中存在着一套约定俗成的写作模式，为纷繁复杂的新闻报道提供了一个主干框架和一个现成的故事叙述结构。新闻记者和读者之间存在着社会和文化方面的脱节，这就是为什么新闻编辑室的“标准模式”对众多读者来说如此陌生。在最近一次调查中，问卷被送到了全国五座中等城市及一座大都市的记者手中，然后随机地给这些城市的居民打电话，问他们同样的问题。结果表明，与其他美国人相比，新闻记者更有可能居住在富人区，有女佣、有奔驰车、炒股，而他们去教堂、参加支援服务、扎根社区的可能性却很小。记者往往属于广义上的社会文化精英，因此他们的工作往往反映了这些精英传统的价值观。读者对新闻媒介的不信任令人震惊，而根源并非报道失实或低级的报道技巧，而是记者与读者的世界观每天都发生着冲突。这对任何一个行业来说都算是爆炸性的形势，对于一个正在衰落的行业来说更是如此。企业深受困扰，却不断雇佣惹恼顾客的员工，然后又出资组织研讨会和可信度调查项目，去探究顾客们恼火以及会出现大量顾客流失的原因。但它似乎从来就没回过头来去关注以前那么多的顾客所抱怨的文化和阶级偏见。如果能注意这个问题的话，它就应该进一步开放多样化项目，而不是像现在只单纯地考虑招收不同种族和性别的员工，应进一步寻找那些世界观、价值观、教育水平和社会阶层各不相同的记者。 -

第11题：
问答题Practice 2 The British are the most voracious newspaper readers in the world. They read newspapers at breakfast; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper on the bus, as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they are engrossed in an evening newspaper. There are many “morning papers”, both national and provincial. The most famous is The Times. Contrary to what many foreigners believe, this is not a government newspaper. The various newspapers usually have their own views on politics, but they are not organs of the political parties, with the exception of the Communist Morning Star. Bold headlines and a variety of photographs are features of the British press. Some newspapers, such as the sober Daily Telegraph and The Times (which belong to the “quality press’’) use photographs sparingly. The more “popular” newspapers, using the small or “tabloid” format, such as the Daily Express, the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror and The Sun, use pictures extensively and also run strip-cartoons and humorous drawings, some of which present striking pictorial comment on politics. Besides offering features common to newspapers all over the world, British newspapers specialize in pages devoted to criticism of the arts and a woman’s page. One feature found in many foreign newspapers is missing in British papers: the serial. Nearly all papers pay special attention to the reporting of sport and athletics. The evening newspapers (the first editions of which appear in the morning!) are often bought because the purchaser wants to know the winner of a race, or to get a good tip for a race that is still to be run. There is no censorship of the press in Britain (except in wartime), though of course all newspapers-like private persons-are responsible for what they publish, and be sued for libel for publishing articles that go beyond the bounds of decency, or for “contempt for court” (e. g. calling man a murderer while he is still being tried). Such lawsuits are infrequent. The population of the United Kingdom is now over 55,000,000. About 17,500,000 newspapers are sold every day. The British people, therefore, are great readers of newspapers. There are few homes to which one newspaper is not delivered every morning. Many households have two, or even three, newspapers every day. One newspaper may be delivered at the house, a member of the family may buy one at the station bookstall to read in the train as he goes to town, and someone else in the family may buy an evening newspaper later in the day.正确答案： 参考译文
英国人是世界上最爱读报的人。早餐时,他们一边吃,一边读;在去公交车的路上读报;上班的路上也读报;下班以后回家的途中他们在埋头读晚报。
英国有许多种“晨报”,既有全国性的,也有地方性的。最著名的晨报要数《泰晤士报》。许多外国人以为它是官方报纸,其实正好相反。通常各家报纸都有自己的政治见解,但是它们可不是政党的喉舌,不过,共产党的报纸《晨星报》是个例外。
醒目的粗体标题和各种照片是英国报纸的特色。一些报纸,如格调严肃的《每日电讯报》和《泰晤士报》(两者均属“严肃报纸”),轻易不刊登照片。比较“通俗”的报纸。采用小版面或文摘的格式,如《每日快报》、《每日邮报》、《每日镜报》和《太阳报》,都刊登大量照片,还有连环漫画和幽默画,其中一些画生动地表达出犀利的政治见解。
除了与世界各地的报纸一样的特征外,英国报纸尤其以艺术评论版和女性专版见长。许多外国报纸都有的、而英国报纸却没有的特色是:小说连载。
几乎所有的报纸都特别注重体育和竞技的报道。人们买晚报(各晚报第一次印刷的报纸在早晨发行!)因为想知道某场赛马的赢家是谁,或者想得到有关即将举行的赛马的重要内部消息。
在英国没有新闻审查制度(战争期间例外),不过,所有的报纸同个人一样,当然要对登载的内容负责,而且如果登载了有失体面的文章,或者有“蔑视法庭”之嫌(如某人仍在庭审就称其为凶手),则会被指控为诽谤罪。不过,这种指控不常发生。
英国现有人口5500多万,每天售出的报纸多达1750万份,所以说英国是世界上酷爱读报的民族。每天清早没有报纸投递上门的人家真不多见。许多家庭订阅的报纸每天有两份、甚至三份,有的家庭虽然每天有一份报纸送上门来,但是家里某个人进城时可能在火车站书报亭买一份路上看,另一个人可能在傍晚买一份晚报回家读。解析： 暂无解析 -

B．Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspaper.
C．Foreign bureaus play a crucial role in the newspaper business.

正确答案：A
解析：推理题。题干的newspaper在原文最后一段每句都有对应。因此没有明确的定位点，考点是infer表暗示，因此需要分析段落结构做出推理。第一句含义 席卷报业的漩涡伤害了每个人，但是多数伤害集中在报纸中缺少特色的版面 -

单选题It can be inferred from the passage that the author is most probably ______.Aan American congressman
Ba British politician

Da British environmentalist
正确答案： D解析：
本文是一篇发表在报刊上的议论文，主要谈论politics of happiness，其基点是英国和英国人的幸福问题，文章设定议论对象主要为politicians，此外作者一直在用第一人称we进行讨论并建议“we need to refocus our energies on general well-being (GWB)”等，作者的语气也与politician的身份相符合。
