APeople around the world have their own ways of celebrating weddings. Now let’s compare Eastern and Western weddings.Chinese and Indian brides normally wear red dresses and most of the wedding decorations are of the same color. This is because the color red is said to bring good fortune. In many Eastern weddings, especially Chinese weddings, the bride will change into a different dress after the ceremony. White dresses only arrived in modern times because of the influence of Western wedding dress designs.Western wedding dresses are different. brides usually wear a wedding dress that is white in color and wear it throughout the whole wedding. Wearing white wedding dresses is said to have started in the 1840s, beginning with Queen Victoria, Queen of Great Britain. There are occasions when brides dress into more comfortable clothing so that they will be able to move more freely during the wedding reception.Traditional practices are strictly followed for most Western weddings. The couple follow up with any plans they have agreed and decided on to make their special wedding day unique and memorable. Wedding receptions and other celebrations differ among the East and West, but the concept is still the same. They are held to show gratitude towards family members, friends and guests for being a part of the wedding ceremony.Another mutual (共同的) custom that weddings of the East and the West have is the wearing of the wedding veil(面纱). According to superstitious(迷信的) beliefs, the bride wears aveil to protect her from being seen by evil spirits(邪灵) and the bridesmaids are decoys （诱饵）.This is still followed even today.21. Queen Victoria is said to be the first woman in Britain to __________________.A. have a bridesmaidB. wear a veil as a brideC. Wear a white wedding dressD. wear a casual dress for the reception22. According to superstitious beliefs, having bridesmaids is to __________________.A. trick evil spiritsB. comfort bridesC. protect guestsD. bring good fortune23. The passage is mainly developed __________.A. by time.B. by comparisonC. by processD. by space24. The passage is likely to be selected from a book of __________.A. fashionB. scienceC. religionD. customBSo you want to start covering stories as a reporter, maybe as a student working on a school paper or as a journalist writing for a website or blog. But how do you decide what is newsworthy?ConflictIf you look closely at the stories that make news in any given day, chances are that most of them will have some element of conflict. Conflict is newsworthy because as human beings we’re naturally interested in conflict. Think of any book you’ve ever read or movie you’ve ever watched—they all had some type of conflict. Without conflict, there would be no literature or drama.Loss of LifeThere’s an old saying in the news business: If it bleeds, it leads. It means any story involving loss of human life will be newsworthy. Many stories have both losses of life and property destruction, say, a house fire. Obviously loss of human life is more important than property destruction, so write the story that way.Proximity (亲近)Proximity has to do with how close an event is geographically to your readers or viewers.A house fire with several people injured might be big news in your hometown newspaper, but maybe no one will care in the next town.TimelinessWe tend to focus on what’s happening this day, this hour and this minute. So events that are happening now are often more newsworthy than those that happened, say, a week ago. Another factor that relates to timeliness is currency. This involves stories that may not have just happened but instead have an ongoing interest to your audience.NoveltyHappenings different from the normal, expected course of events is something novel, and thus newsworthy.Not only is it necessary to know how to choose what to write, but it is also important to have a good knowledge of skills of writing a good news article.25. The purpose of writing the passage is .A. to show the influence of newsB. to teach how to write an articleC. to tell why news interests readersD. to explain what makes news26. Considering Timeliness, which news is the most suitable?A. A city sports meeting is being held today.B. An explosion led to ten deaths.C. The army threatened to take over the government.D. One former classmate has been selected for the national team.27. “When a dog bites a man, no one cares. When the man bites back—now that’s a newsstory.” shows that .A. Loss of human life attracts attentionB. Proximity is an important factor of newsC. novelty matters much in newsD. news focus on what’s happening now28. What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph?A. Importance of writing skills.B. Skills of writing news articles.C. Examples showing novelty of news.D. More aspects making an article newsworthy.CHave you been searching for a steak beyond the ordinary, a steak that delights you with every bite? The Luxor Resort’s Tender Steak Restaurant will satisfy even the pickiest guest.Today the public has become more health-conscious, seeking organic meat and food. It is good to know that Tender’s head chef Christopher Mahoney is leading the way in the “small farm”concept. Christopher Mahoney proudly said, “Tender has been competing with top chefs around Las Vegas for five and a half years and was named one of the top 10 steakhouses more than once. Our credibility(信誉) depends on using fine ingredients from the best farms in the United States and around the world in order to make a big difference.”A perfect steak depends on many factors. When I looked at Tender’s menu, I was amazed to see the wide variety of their selections. Tender not only offers rib-eye-steaks(里脊牛排), but also four different cuts of rib-eye-steaks from farms in other countries.Christopher continued, “These farms are raising the cattle in a healthy manner on a proper diet. That is the best way to go for me personally and that is the reason why I like our farms. The chef has to know exactly what he is getting in order to be a better judge of the food.“If you see a dish you want, but only want to try a little bit, just say, ‘Can I have this?’No problem. We make sure the person who comes to Tender has the best time they could possibly have.”Dining at Tender is an experience to remember. I especially love the natural shrimps and prawns(对虾) served in an individual pan accompanied by three dipping sauces--mango salsa, pesto, and cocktail sauce. This is a great sharing plate because the prawns are rather large.29. The Luxor Resort’s Tender Steak Restaurant is aimed at people who _______________.A. just want ordinary steaksB. like different kinds of meatC. want to enjoy organic meatD. cannot afford expensive meals30. What does Christopher mainly stress in Paragraphs 2 and 4?A. Their healthy ingredients.B. Their excellent cooking skills.C. The popularity of the restaurant.D. The good service of the restaurant.31. We know that mango salsa and pesto are ______________.A. famous dishesB. sauces of the dishesC. two kinds of prawnsD. two kinds of shrimps32. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Luxor Resort’s Tender Steak Restaurant?A. Positive.B. Uninterested.C. Dissatisfied.D. Cautious.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
