第一节(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。

A

A news release is a tool of communication，through which information is passed to even the farthest end of the world.It keeps us well informed of the happenings of the world which would otherwise remain unknown.

When writing a news release，keep in mind that the media receive hundreds of releases every day.Try to follow these guidelines：Keep it short and e up with a catchy headline that will grasp someone's attention.Sometimes the title will take more time to come up with than writing the release.That's okay－the headline could be critical for getting an event covered!

Cover the 5 W's in your first paragraph.Those are who you are; what you are doing；where，when you are doing；why you are doing it，which help us understand the details about the event.Besides，any opinions in the news release should be put in quotations from your designated spokesperson.Include things that the media finds newsworthy，which is the most essential.

Make the time on your news release at least half an hour later than the time you have told activists to show up at an event.This will ensure that activists are prepared and in place by the time the media arrive.

Choose a spokesperson for the event who can be quoted in the release and will be available for calls at that number the day before the event.

Have someone proof the release for spelling，grammar and content(determine whether what you are trying to relay is clear and right)．Sometimes the person who writes the release may not notice mistakes that a fresh pair of eyes will catch.

Accuracy is the last but not least important in terms of your content and the location and time that you tell the media.If you do make a mistake，it is critical that you call and notify the media of the correction.

【语篇解读】本文是说明文。主要告诉我们如何写新闻稿。

1．What's the main purpose of the passage?

A．To tell us the importance of the news release.

B．To tell us how to avoid mistakes in the news release.

C．To make us know how to make the news release.

D．To ask us to read news release on the latest events.

解析：写作意图题。本文主要告诉我们如何写新闻稿。第二段中的“When writing a news release...”“Try to follow these guidelines...”是文章的中心所在，其他选项尽管在文中均有所涉及，但都是以偏概全。

答案：C

2．What does the underlined word “catchy” in Para 2 probably mean?

A．Tricky. B．Attractive.

C．Imaginary. D．Funny.

解析：词义猜测题。根据该词后面“...that will grasp someone's attention.”可知该题目应该抓住别人的注意力，因此该新闻稿应该有一个吸引人的题目。

答案：B

3．What is the most important for a news release according to the passage?

A．Make sure the 5 W's in your first paragraph.

B．Choose a proper spokesperson for the event.

C．Make the news release newsworthy and accuracy.

D．Ensure activists are prepared for the events in advance.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Include things that the media fin ds newsworthy，which is the most essential...”以及最后一段“Accuracy is the last but not least important...”可知写新闻稿时，最重要的是该新闻有报道价值并且精确。

答案：C

4．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?

A．A news release is more important than any other medium.

B．Any opinions in the news release should have quotations.

C．The main task of the spokesperson is to correct the mistakes by the writer.

D．Lacking experience，the person who writes the release may make mistakes.

解析：细节理解题。原文并没有将新闻稿与其他媒体对比，所以选项A错误；选项B 与原文第三段“Besides，any opinions in the news release should be put in quotations from your designated spokesperson”不符，曲解文意；原文并没有说发言人的任务是改错，所以选项C错误；根据倒数第二段“Sometimes the person who writes the release may not notice mistakes that a fresh pair of eyes will catch.”可知新手注意不到自己所犯的错误，与选项D吻合。
