AThe Art and Craft of Feature Writing, by William E. Blundell, a senior journalist for front-page news of The Wall Street Journal, was recently published by Oxford University Press. The book is originated from the internal lectures The Journal intends to train its front-page journalists. Through detailed and systematical analysis, the book tells the journalists how to find out rather than wait for news, what elements make a good news story, how to sort out good news clues, etc. Meanwhile, the book puts the main emphasis on how to turn a good news source into a good report, how to prepare a high-quality report which can catch and hold readers’ attention. What is the best feature of the book is that it is as good as holding your hands teaching you how to make news.Common problem: Many a man makes such a mistake: they think they can eat up all the fine food but are overstuffed halfway. …a long tedious article which touches on all information but goes deep into none will get readers more easily bored and tired. It would be better to make an information-limited but well-developed story than to write an unclearly-stated giant-sized one.Solution: Arrange the story according to its cause-effect relationship. There are two advantages: firstly,you can determine potential dynamic elements beforehand; secondly, it allows you to make a clear outline or blueprint.Common problem: Some journalists are anxious to rush out the moment they get an idea, only to gathertoo little information for a valuable story after a waste of a lot of time and efforts.Solution: The reason for causing this situation is lack of advance thinking and planning. Before rushingout of the editorial office, a journalist should think carefully about his story. For example, how large is the scope of the story? What is the topic of the story? What is the best expression? Even what is the most suitable tone?William E. Blundell once won a Mark Borg Prize for Journalism and a Leslie Howard Prize for Public Service. In this book, by employing true examples from US newspapers, the writer has done well in writing a handbook for news writing as fascinatingly as a novel does with now and then flashes of humorous description.21. The book is aimed at _______.A. journalistsB. editorsC. photographersD. writers22. The parts in a different print (from the second to fifth paragraph) are laid here ________.A. to tell readers how to make newsB. to show how practical the book isC. to help solve problems in news-makingD. to show the structure of the book23. The passage most probably serves as _______.A. a handbookB. a book introductionC. an instruction bookD. an ad for a bookBAs a substitute teacher, my daily routine involves driving to a new school almost every day so I'm usually unable to anticipate (预料) the day's events, good or bad!On one particular day，I was teaching in a very difficult classroom. I was managing behavior all morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon. So on my lunch break, I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee. Upon returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside!I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4 or 5-minute drive away. I contemplated (思考) rushing back, but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.So I ran into a McDonald's which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab. I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes, that he empathized. He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not yet been able to request the cab yet my expression, Iassume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell!Upon arriving at the school, I thanked this man endlessly. His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth. This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to transpire, which can have an unimaginable impact on those who receive them.24．Why did the author want to get a cup of coffee?A．Because he was very thirsty at that time.B．Because he was only interested in drinking coffee.C．Because he had to refresh himself for the classes in the afternoon.D．Because he wanted to do something special to pass the whole afternoon.25．The author ________ so he gave up the idea of going back to school on foot when he found his keys and phone were locked inside the car.A．was too tired to walk further B．was afraid of falling down on iceC．asked the manager to call him a cab D．decided to take a school bus26．The author has probably stayed in the McDonald's for about ________.A．15 minutes B．8-9 minutesC．4-5 minutes D．2 minutes27．What kind of person is the manager?A．Kind-hearted. B．Faithful.C．Gentle. D．DependableCThe values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are diffe rent from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“t he general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example,evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.28.According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A. It introduces different cultural values.B. It explains the history of artistic works.C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.29.In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that .A. great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB. history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures30.According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because .A. they are results of scientific studyB. they establish some general principles of artC. th ey are created by the world’s greatest artistsD. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature31.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Are Artistic Values Universal?B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?C. Is Human Nature Uniform?D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?DJOHANNESBURG—They say cats have nine lives. Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍) has joined that club of clever survivors.South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain candlestick(烛台) that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. Thetwo-hour flight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toad’s boarding pass was handed to Glasby.“He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toad species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out, and also by slowing its breathing and heart rate—methods that help the species survive in times of drought.“We’ve had snakes in imported timber and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit. We were called because the toad was right inside the candlestick, and we had to break it to get it out” Glasby, the inspector, told The Star, a South African newspaper.32. What is the passage mainly about?A. Asian toads can’t get used to the life in South Africa.B. South Africa ignores the protection of animals.C. An Asian toad gets a new home in South Africa.D. Workers shipped a toad to South Africa on purpose.33. If the toad is released into the wild, _________.A. it will make the locals feel shockedB. it will lose its life in the wildC. it might flee into another countryD. it might harm the native species34. The toad was able to arrive in South Africa alive_________.A. because it formed hard skin to protect itselfB. because it escaped all attacks and huntsC. because it used to stop its breath in winterD. because it was lucky to be given a chance35. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. a candlestick is the best place for a toadB. droughts make toads live longerC. sometimes animals are transported accidentallyD. no one has seen such a big toad in Africa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。
