I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately，the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride(搭便车)．I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally，a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift，I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured(使……放心) me I was safe，and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch，he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier. Ipulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me，“You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.1．The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because________.A．her work delayed her trip to SydneyB．she was going home for her holidaysC．the town was far away from SydneyD．she missed the only train back home2．Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?A．He helped the girl find a ride.B．He gave the girl a ride back home.C．He bought sandwiches for the girl.D．He watched the girl for three hours.3．The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that________.A．she realized he was GordonB．she had known him for decadesC．she was going to the nearby townD．she wanted to repay the favour she once got4．What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A．Giving sometimes produces nice results.B．Those who give rides will be repaid.C．Good manners bring about happiness.D．People should offer free rides to others.BIf there is one thing I'm sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habitpassed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact，I'm pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu；making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news，etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet，it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.5．What is the BEST title for the passage?A．The Best Way to Get NewsB．The Changes of MediaC．Make Your Own NewspaperD．The Future Newspaper6．In the writer's opinion，in the future，________.A．more big political affairs，wars and disasters will make newsB．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC．newspapers will cover more scientific researchD．more and more people will watch TV7．What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?A．Sports and international news.B．A menu of important news.C．The most important news.D．What you are interested in.8．The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ________.A．depend on B．compete withC．fight with D．kill off参考答案一、1.A前句句意：——今天下午我要去书店，帮你买本词典好吗？A项表示“再好不过了”。

Reading comprehension (C级）ASome people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks(平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia(百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.10．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．TV programs are a chief provider of knowledgeB．cinemas are the best choice in getting informationC．reading is a cheap way of learning and having funD．newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself11．What does the sentence“Television has not killed reading, however”underlined in the second paragraph suggest?A．People only need reading, though. B．Reading is still necessary today.C．Reading is more fun than television. D．Watching television doesn't help reading. 12．What can we learn from the passage?A．Fewer and fewer people will buy books.B．A good dictionary should be kept in every home.C．Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.D．More people like TV programs about famous men.BIf your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he'd offer you more money to do so—or even double that depending on where you live now. That's because Moscow has just been found to be the world's most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting.Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment(娱乐)．A twobedroom flat in Moscow now costs $ 4000 a month：a CD $ 24.83, and an international newspaper $ 6.30, according to Mercer. By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger(汉堡包)is a steal at $ 4.80.London takes the No. 2 place, up from No. 5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar. Mercer estimates(估算)London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No. 5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly.Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world's most expensive cities. But both have fallen since last year's study—New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago. San Francisco came in a distant third at No. 54, down 20 places from a year earlier.Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada's most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide. In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No. 21 worldwide. 13．What do the underlined words“a steal”in Paragraph 3 mean?A．an act of stealing B．something delicious C．something very cheap D．an act of buying14．London has become the second most expensive city because of________.A．the high cost of clothing B．the stronger pound against the dollarC．its expensive transportation D．the high prices of fast food meals 15．Which city is the third most expensive on the list?A．Tokyo. B．Hong Kong. C．Moscow. D．Sydney. 16．Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?A．New York. B．Los Angeles. C．San Francisco. D．Toronto.CBy Zhang Youlv (China Daily )—A manned lunar (月球的) landing is China’s next target when the current threestage space program ends in 2020.“When our manned space program is completed, we will travel even further，”Wang Zhaoyao, deputy head of China’s manned space program office and Shenzhou VII mission spokesman, told a briefing in Beijing three hours after China’s third manned space mission was successfully concluded yesterday. “After comprehensively analyzing the general trend of the international development of manned space, as well as realities in China, we see a manned lunar landing as a both challenging and tactical (策略的) field in global hi--tech，”he said.“We_believe_it_necessary_for_our_country_to_do_something_in_this_field，”Wang said. He did not give a specific date for a moon landing. Wang, however, said，“Experts believe this is ‘very much needed’for research into relevant (closely connected) technologies to further China’s achievements in space.”The 68hour Shenzhou VII mission featured a 25minute spacewalk on Saturday.It was broadcast live and watched by millions throughout the country. The crew’s landing at a site in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region was also carried live by national television.The entire mission was pronounced a complete success. The mission’s success has paved the way for completing the second stage of the program—building a space station before 2020. Before that, a space lab will be set up in 2010 with Shenzhou X, the country’s next fullcrew space journey.17．When will China’s spaceship land on the moon?A．2020. B．2010. C．2018. D．No specific date. 18．What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph imply?A．We will travel even further in the outer space.B．There is a need for China to land on the moon.C．It is very much needed to research space technologies to further China’s space program.
