2015~2016学年度第一学期期中试卷高二英语第Ⅰ卷客观卷（共60分）第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AI was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby.I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do s omething for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.1. The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to________.A. passing the young man a cup of orange juiceB. buying lunch for the old manC. exchanging meals with the old manD. giving the juice to the old man2. Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Kind and considerateB. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Humorous and helpful.3. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the servant to take the juice to the old man so that____________.A. the old man could probably accept itB. he would become famous for his good deedC. more people would be inspired to do good deedsD. he would become a friend of the servantBThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution. Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce no t only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.Community and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.4. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ___________.A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsC. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersD. most people support buying locally5. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because___________.A. they are picked when they are fully grownB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are sent to the market at a high speed6. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods ___________.A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will contribute to protecting the environmentC. you will become much healthier and prettierD. you are making money from your community7. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The benefits of buying locally.CA classical guitarist was excited to hear from New York City police that his valuable guitar had been found. It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a cab and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he dashed out of the taxi. He said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.Upon discovering his loss, Lennon used his cell phone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.She told Lennon that he could file a missing items report at the police station or online. Lennon asked for the online address. She told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of years—finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers and marijuana smokers. Then she told him to have a nice day.“This year has been depressing，” said Lennon. “I had to put off the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And I was losing hope of ever recovering my guitar.”Lennon was reunited with his $ 100,000 musical instrument yesterday. The case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffee house only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it in the first place. Lennon had offered a $ 10,000 reward for its return. He said he would give the reward to the coffee house owner, who had informed the police.8. It can be inferred from this reading passage that________.A. Lennon couldn't give any useful information about the driver and his cabB. Lennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually neededC. Lennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driverD. Lennon used to work at the concert hall in New York City9. The policewoman told Lennon________.A. not to worry about the guitarB. to have a nice day in New York CityC. to wait with patienceD. to find the cab driver and talk to him10. Which of the following is the most important according to the policewoman?A. Finding a lost guitar.B. Finding the cab driver.C. Enjoying one's own lifeD. Finding murderers.11. The underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“________”．A. making people unfortunateB. making people feel sadC. making people losing moneyD. making people losing good luckDHaving a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who has a passion for literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance（继承）or it can be just to impress people around you about the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are many persons who cannot afford to buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but they usually go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a lot, or just borrow books to read at home.From my point of view, literature is very important in our lives from several points of view. For example, reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas of activities. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field, or you can express your opinion about a political aspect, just because you have read something connected to that.Secondly, literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to leave apart the real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago, dream in the world of the rich or imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves with the characters in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and how to react in certain circumstances.To conclude, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our culture, to express correctly and have a rich vocabulary, to be able to interfere（干涉）in conversations in different fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite person.12. The people who are fond of literature are those that _________.A. go to libraries on weekendsB. buy expensive books in the bookstoreC. keep many books in their studiesD. have much interest in reading13. We can learn from the third paragraph that _________.A. we can bring kings and queens back to lifeB. what we read can be useful in our daily lifeC. it is very good for us to stay alone for some hoursD. we can make friends with the people in the stories14. The underlined word “erudite” in the last paragraph probably means_________.A. hard-workingB. enthusiasticC. learnedD. creative15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage？A. To advise readers to like reading.B. To explain the true meaning of reading.C. To tell readers how to read a book.D. To tell readers who has the real passion for literature.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFrom Japan to Indonesia, a certain kind of pop culture is very hot. But it doesn’t come from Hollywood—it’s Hallyu(韩流), the wave of Korean pop culture that has washed over Asi a. It has influenced everything from music to television. And th anks to the Internet and social media, it’s now spreading worldwide.South Korea produces all types of entertainment, the most po pular being music, soap operas and films. What makes Hallyu so hot in Asia? One reason is that its products are of high qu ality and much cheaper than western products. Another reaso n is that eastern cultures are similar to each other, although th ere are language differences.Korean pop music, or “K-pop”, ranks the first everywhere. Fans love the songs and the attractive stars. Companies like SM Entertainment, JYP Enter tainment and YG Entertainment help many K-pop stars, such as Super Junior, Big Bang and Rain, to succe ed. They are not only popular in Asia but also enjoy popularity in the West. In 2011, Big Bang’s mini-album Tonight reached the top 10 on U.S. Tunes Top Pop Alb ums. When SM Entertainment took their 2010 world tour to Lo s Angeles, only 30 percent of the 15,000 fans were Korean. H alf of the audience wasn’t even Asian!One important reason for the success of Hallyu is simply the I nternet. A little more than 10 years ago, Korean soap operas, movies and music reached the outside world quite slowly. The y began in Korea, and then gradually spread outward, appeari ng in its neighboring countries where local TV and radio companies would play them. Now they are played around the world online at the same time.YouTube is another major way to get Korean entertainment to fans everywhere. It is an inexpensive and valid way for artists to introduce their work to a larger audience. In 2010 the YouT ube channels for the top three Korean entertainment groups t ogether had nearly 800 million views from 225 different countr ies.21.Hallyu is very hot in Asia partly because________.A. languages in Asia are similar to each otherB. the culture is the most fashionable in the worldC. the quality of South Korea’s products is highD. South Korea’s products are the cheapest in Asia22.The author shows the popularity of K-pop in the West_______.A. in order of spaceB. by giving examplesC. by listing reaso nsD. in order of time23.What does the underlined word valid (in Para. 5) mean?A. slowB. successfulC. uselessD. necessary24.What would be the best title for the passage?A. K-pop Ranks the First EverywhereB. YouTube Helps Korean Cultures SpreadC. Korean Soap Operas Are Growing in PopularityD. Hallyu Makes Waves across the WorldBRecently，I came across an interesting article on the differences betwee n British English and American English. I had a lot of fun readi ng it and thinking of as many differences as I could as an Am erican.Their cars have “bonnets(发动机罩)”, while ourselves have “hoods”. They park their cars in a “car park” while we leave ours in a “parking lot”. Our “cookies”are their “biscuits”, while their “rubbers” are our “erasers”. Then there are the food words. Would you want to eat someth ing called “Toad in the Hole” or “Bangers and Mash” or “Spott ed Dick”?I’m here to report they are all very tasty. There are American equivalents(相等物)，of course. We’ve got “Shoofly Pie”,“Chicken Fried Steak” and “Mississippi Mud Pie”. What they call “crisps” is what we call “potato chips” and when we ask for “chips” in England we will get what we know at home in America as “French fries”.They find it extremely exciting that we call the “toilet” the “bath room” and they really double over(弯腰) with laughter when we ask for the “restroom”. American la dies in England who ask for the “little girl’s room” or the “powd er room” will be met with blank stares. A “fag” is a “cigarette” i n the UK, which can lead to endless confusion for British visit ors looking for a cigarette in America. Americans on the other hand are endlessly confused by English signs put up over doo rways saying “Way Out”. We Americans walk on the sidewalk not the pavement. “Pavement” in America is the actual cemen t(水泥) the sidewalk is made of.25. What do British people call French Fries?A. Crisps.B. Chips.C. Shoofly.D. Mississippi Mud Pie.26. It would be difficult for British people to look for a cigarette in America because ______.A. American people don’t like giving others cigaretteB. it is not allowed to smoke in public in AmericaC. Americans don’t know a “fag” means a “cigarette?D. American people don’t smoke often27. What is the passage mainly about?A. Some differences between American English and British E nglish.B. Some similar habits between Americans and the British.C. Different communicating ways between Americans and th e British.D. Different body languages between Americans and the Briti sh.CFlorida is celebrating a big anniversary this year. Five hundre d years ago, on April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce a rrived on the east coast of what is now Florida. Native Americ ans had been living there for centuries, but Ponce was the firs t European to set foot in what would become the United State s.According to legend, Ponce may have landed in Florida by mi stake. He is said to have been looking for an island called Bim ini and its Fountain(喷泉) of Youth. The magical fountain could supposedly make ol d people young again. Instead, Ponce landed on Florida and claimed it for Spain. He named it La Florida, or “flowery place”.Ponce explored more of Florida’s coasts over the next few m months. He later returned to Spain but went back to Florida in1521 to attempt to set up a colony. However, native America ns attacked him and his friends, and Ponce was killed. It wasn ’t until 1565 that Spain set up a successful colony at St. Augu stine on Florida’s east coast. It is the oldest European settlem ent in the U.S.Florida didn’t belong to the U.S. until Spain lost control. It was admitted to the U.S. as the 27th state in 1845.Today, Florida has one of the fastest-growing populations of any state. More than 19 million people call it home .It’s also popular with tourists. Last year, 89 million people visit ed the Sunshine State. These days, most visitors come in sea rch of fun in the sun on its sandy beaches and its theme parks , such as Disney World and Sea World.28. Ponce was killed_____.A. during his second stay in FloridaB. on his way to Flori daC. by his friendsD. after he set up a colony29. What can we learn about Ponce from Paragraph 2?A. He finally found Fountain of Youth.B. He could make old people young again.C. He hated Florida.D. He discovered Florida by accident.30. Five hundred years ago,_____.A. the United States was foundedB. Florida was discovered by human beingsC. the first European came to FloridaD. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce was born31. Which of the following is TRUE about Florida?A. There are 89 million people in Florida at present.B. Its population has been increasing in recent years.C. Tourists are losing interest in it.D. Its beaches are not well protected.DThe production of coffee beans is a huge，profitable business，but，unfortunately，full－sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from sha de－grown production to full－sun production endangers the very existence of certain anima ls and birds，and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.On a local level，the damage of the forest required by full－sun fields affects the area's birds and animals. The shade of t he forest trees provides a home for birds and other species (物种) that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits. Full－sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result，many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level，the destruction of the rainforest for full－sun coffee fields also threatens (威胁) human life. Medical research often makes use of the fores ts' plant and animal life，and the destruction of such species could prevent researcher s from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition，new coffee－growing techniques are poisoning the water locally，and eventually the world's groundwater.Both locally and globally，the continued spread of full－sun coffee plantations (种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The l oss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the w orld's climate，and studies show that the loss of oxygen giving trees also lea ds to air pollution and global warming. Moreover，the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic (酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many a spects of life，from the local environment to the global ecology. But consum ers do have a choice. They can purchase shade－grown coffee whenever possible，although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coff ee.32. Where does this text probably come from?A. A medical journal.B. An engineering textbook.C. A tourist guide.D. An agricultural magazine.33. What can we learn about full－sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques.B. It slows down the loss of shade trees.C. It improves local soil conditions.D. It leads to air pollution and global warming.34. The purpose of the text is to_________.A. entertain D. persuadeB. advertiseC. instruct35. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole te xt?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The pictures help you understand what is being said and T V news is an ideal way to help improve your listening ability b ecause within a short period of time the same news is often re peated. This means that you can watch basically the same ne ws program several times within a day and that every succee ding program will help you to understand what is being said. These preparatory steps are very important before your listeni ng：●Find out which news report you want to listen to, when and o n what channel. CCTV 9 is a good choice because this is Chi na's English channel and has regular news reports.●Just watch the news reports for a few days first, before requi ring yourself to understand the stories. Give yourself time to g et familiar with the newsreaders and their accents. You shoul d also get an idea of the structure of the entire report as well a s the structure of a typical news story.●Watch the news in Chinese first. This will tell you what the m ain news items are and help prepare you for understanding n ews reports in English.While listening, you should pay attention to a few things that y ou may try to do：●You can aim at just getting what a story is about. Give a one to twosentence description after each story.●Put forward a few questions to yourself about a story, and th en seek to answer them from your listening. You can do this b y stopping the tape as soon as the headline is read to you.●Your may write a full transcript(抄本) of a story to practice intensive listening. This may bring to notice listening problems that have skipped your attention wh en you only concentrate on the content.Even though the listening part is over, some followup activitie s will help you reinforce(加强) your learning. You may talk about the news with one or m ore friends. This provides an opportunity to produce a summa ry or express your thoughts in a brief article.12．The underlined word “succeeding” most probably means ________.A．funny B. good C．next D．famous 13．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage ?A．Getting ready for news listening.B．Give a simple description after each story.C．Listening practice after the proposal.D．Doing followup activities after listening.14．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to t he passage?A．The pictures on TV are helpful to your written English and spoken English.B．You may get a general idea about a story by using one or two sentences.C．CCTV 9 is a good choice because there are all excellent f oreign newsreaders.D．You may use the whole transcript of a story to practice yo ur writing ability.15．The best title for this passage may probably be ________. A．How to Listen to TV NewsB．How to Improve Your ListeningC．How to Learn from ListeningD．How to Listen Step by StepEI remember that I used to rebel（反抗）against many dos and don’ts my parents told me. For example, when I kept on listening to jazz on the record player, my fat her used to consider it noise and replace it with classical musi c, which I always felt dull. My mom and dad were also very pa rticular about(挑剔) the friends I made with, and always quoted the well-known sentence—one rotten apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples. These w ere just a few examples of the things I thought my parents we re unreasonable about.Today, however, I am the father of a boy of 15, and I find tha t I am pressuring my son with a lot of rules and regulations th at he seems to find hard to follow too. One day, I noticed that my son’s hair was too long, so I told him to go to the barber’s and get it cut short. Ordinarily, he will do what he is told to, bu t this time he put his foot down. “What’s wrong with my long h air?” he said. “Most of my friends have long hair. And besides, it’s my own hair, isn’t it? I don’t think you have the right to ord er me to cut it short, even if you’re my father!”When I was a boy, if I had spoken to my father in that way, h e would have taught me a lesson. But I suddenly realize that we are now living in a more liberal world, and my son’s insiste nce on wearing his hair long is merely an instance of the gene ration gap that exists between us. Finally, I agree to it, so he still wears his hair long.16．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Stories Between Father and SonB．The Generation GapC．Dos and Don’ts for TeenagersD．A Thoughtful Father17．The underlined phrase “put his foot down” in Paragrap h 2 probably means that the son .obeyed his father’s orderrefused firmly to do as his father wished him toC．put down his feet to relax himselfD．ran away from home.18．The writer used to rebel against his parents mainly bec ause .A．his parents were unreasonableB．the writer was a rebellious teenagerC．his parents always told him to make friends carefully D．the generation gap existed between them19．Which of the following is NOT the reason why the write r becomes liberal at last?A．His son refuses to obey his orders firmly.B．He once suffered from the experience like his son. C．He realizes it is nothing but the generation gap.D．They are living in a more liberal world today.20．From the passage, we can safely draw a conclusion th at .A．the writer’s parent didn’t love him at allB．the generation gap can be removed in a more liberal worl dC．the writer will have a friendly relationship with his son D．as long as you stick to what you want to do, you will surel y make it eventually第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AOne of the best- known American writers of children’s books is Alfred Strong, or Doctor Strong, as he is better known to readers ev erywhere. Now, an art show called“Doctor Strong From Thento Now” is travelling around the United States. The pictures and drawings show the history ofDoctor Strong.Doctor Strong first became famous almost fifty years ago when his first children’s book was published. Since then, he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundredmillion copies around the world.Doctor Strong ’s books are known for their easy use of words and colorful,hand-drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures. The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant,The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and hundreds of others.The San Diego Museum, in California,organized the art show. It included about three hundred Doctor Strong’s original(最早的) drawings and some of his writings.Most of Doctor Strong’s books, although written in a funny way,have serious messages. For example, in Mc Elligot’s Pool, he describes the danger of pollution.He discusses the arms race in The Butter Battle Book, written in nineteen eighty-four.Doctor Strong is almost eighty-four years old now. He says he never planned to write stories just for children. He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages. He says he useseasy words so that everyone, even a child, can understand.1.

In order to have friends，you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen — Listen when they are talking.Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it's not necessary for you to have anything to say；they just need someone to talkto about their feelings.Help them — If your friend is ever in need of something，be there to help them. You shouldtry to put them first，but make sure you don't do everything they want you to do. Try to takean extra ( 额外的 ) pencil or pen with you to classes in case ( 以防 ) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them—Try to make something for your friends to help make them feel better inhard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe，a famous U．S. actor，once said，“ I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am outof control. But if you can't stay with me at my worst，you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this！If you don't want to stay with your friends whenthey're in hard times，then you don't deserve to be with them when they're having a good time!________— Try to make plans with your friends.Go shopping ， go for ice cream， have a party ， go to the movies and so on.Take time to know each other even better by doingsomething you both enjoy. By planning things together，you both can have a good time.And you'll remember these things when you're all old!，you should ________．5． While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelingsA． give him or her some advice B．just listen unless askedC． calm him or her down D．share your feelings as well6． When we provide help for our friends，we should ________．A． try to do everything for them B．put them before ourselvesC． change their bad habits first D．ignore their faults7． What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe's words?A． Life without a friend is death.B． A friend is easier lost than found.C． A friend in need is a friend indeed.D． A man is known by his friends.8． What is the passage mainly about?A． How to find a good friend.B． How to help friends in trouble.C． How to be a good friend.D． How to make more friends.CThirteen, for me, was a challenging year. My parents divorced (离婚) and I moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would crymyself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at alocal auction. I named him Cowboy.Cowboy was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn't care. I loved himbeyond all reason.I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy's looks.I never let out about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rodebeautiful ， registered horses.When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance ， we were quickly shown_the_gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race.One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say，she didn't feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. Shedidn't need to. I came in next to last.The stinging memory of Becky's smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole nextmonth I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena(赛马场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted.All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at thegate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy's neck and entered the arena. At thesignal, we dashed toward the first fence，jumped it without trouble and raced on to the nextone. Cowboy then flew over the second ， third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Beckyand her fancy horse by two seconds!I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter whatthe odds ，I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.9．The underlined expression“shown the gate ” in Paragraph 4 most probably means“_____”．A． told how to enter the arenaB． shown how to make the horse beautifulC． removed from the competition earlyD． told to enter the timed speed events10． Why was the writer not confident of victory?A． He was an inexperienced rider.B． He had not practiced enough.C． He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.D． He thought his horse wasn't as good as the others.11． When the final race finished, nobody cheered because ________．A． the audience didn't like CowboyB． people envied the writerC． the win was unexpectedD． the writer had run out of time12． What did the writer learn from his experience?A． Life can sometimes be unfair.B． Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.C． A positive attitude will bring success.D． One should not make judgments based on appearance.DNeither television nor radio nor magazines nor books nor any other medium can begin to match newspapers for depth and breadth of coverage( 新闻报导 ). In fact, all these media themselves depend on newspapers to bring them information that they then process and distribute as their own brand of news.Now many newspapers are locked in a struggle for survival.If they lose — which is by no means impossible—we all lose.The great task for editors and publishers is to respond to the competitive challenge caused by online news, and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits(利润 ). As yet ， they haven't figured out a smooth and sure way to do that.So they cut some more to get profit.The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results.With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers won't even know the difference.The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money， it will be too late —too late to notice the reduction in the number of readers.The other big cuts, of course, are in staff(职工). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid. While there is plenty of tired deadwoodamong them， there is also a lot of talent.When experienced staff leave in large numbers—as they often do now—the newspaper loses great professional memory. But the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of theinsights( 见解 ) that only the experienced reporters can bring.As for the future, there is at least one big, bright sign：intelligent young people will continue to flood into journalism in urgent search of jobs, despite its high demands and modest( 不太高的 ) pay.13．The underlined word“deadwood” in Paragraph 5 may refers to“________”．A． the staff who are going to retireB． workers who are experiencedC． people who are no longer useful or neededD． reporters who are tired of covering events14． According to the passage，which of the following can best describe the author's attitude towards the ways the editors and publishers have adopted to get profit?A． The author has no objection.B． The author opposes them.C． The author regards them reasonable.D． The author has not shown it explicitly.15． Who will be the real loser if newspapers lose according to the passage?A． Publishers. B．Readers. C．Editors. D．Writers.第二节 ( 共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分 )依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。
