6.单选题
The importance and focus of the interview in the work of the print and broadcast journalist is reflected in several books that have been written on the topic. Most of these books, as well as several chapters, mainly in, but not limited to, journalism and broadcasting handbooks and reporting texts, stress the "how to" aspects of journalistic interviewing rather than the conceptual aspects of the interview, its context, and implications. Much of the "how to" material is based on personal experiences and general impressions. As we know, in journalism, as in other fields, much can be learned from the systematic study of professional practice. Such study brings together evidence from which broad generalized principles can be developed.
There is, as has been suggested, a growing body of research literature in journalism and broadcasting, but very little significant attention has been devoted to the study of the interview itself. On the other hand, many general texts as well as numerous research articles on interviewing in fields other than journalism have been written. Many of these books and articles present the theoretical and empirical aspects of the interview as well as the training of the interviewers. Unhappily, this plentiful general literature about interviewing pays little attention to the journalistic interview. The fact that the general literature on interviewing does not deal with the journalistic interview seems to be surprising for two reasons. First, it seems likely that most people in modern Western societies are more familiar, at least in a positive manner, with journalistic interviewing than with any other form of interviewing. Most of us are probably somewhat familiar with the clinical interview, such as that conducted by physicians and psychologists. In these situations the professional person or interviewer is interested in getting information necessary for the diagnosis （诊断）and treatment of the person seeking help.
Another familiar situation is the job interview. However, very few of us have actually been interviewed personally by the mass media, particularly by television. And yet, we have a vivid acquaintance with the journalistic interview by virtue of our roles as readers, listeners, and viewers. Even so, true understanding of the journalistic interview, especially television interviews, requires thoughtful analyses and even study, as this book indicates.
1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that（）.
2.Much has been done on interviews in general
（）.
3.Westerners are familiar with the journalistic interview,
（）.
问题1选项
A.generalized principles for journalistic interviews are the chief concern for writers of journalism
B.importance should be attached to the systematic study of journalistic interviewing
C.concepts and contextual implications are of secondary importance in journalistic interviewing
D.personal experiences and general impressions should be excluded from journalistic interviews
问题2选项
A.so the training of journalistic interviewers has likewise been strengthened
B.thou gh the study of the interviewing techniques hasn’t received much attention
C.but journalistic interviewing as a specific field has unfortunately been neglected
D.and there has also been a dramatic growth in the study of journalistic interviewing
问题3选项
A.but most of them wish to stay away from it
B.and many of them hope to be interviewed some day
C.and many of them would like to acquire a true understanding of it
D.but most of them may not have been interviewed in person
问题4选项
A.a news article
C.a journalistic interview
D.a preface
【答案】第1题:B
第2题:C
第3题:D
第4题:D
【解析】第1题:主旨大意题。

由第一段“As we know, in journalism, as in other fields, much can be learned from the systematic study of professional practice. Such study brings together evidence from which broad generalized principles can be developed. 正如我们所知，在新闻业和其他领域一样，我们可以从专业实践的系统研究中学到很多东西。

这样的研究收集了一些证据，从中可以发展出广泛而普遍的原则。

”可知第一段主要说明应该将重点放在专业实践的研究上。

答案B
第2题:细节事实题。

in line with “与…一致”；in terms of “根据，按照”；in regard to “关于，对于”；by means of “凭借”。

由be measured可知B项符合句意。

8.单选题
What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across the seas of time? It's chicken soup, one prominent American food, expert says.
From Russian villages to Africa and Asia chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece. China and Rome, and even the 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled its virtues.
Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth Chickens got another boost in the Book of Genesis, where it is written that birds and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four-legged animals.
But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three years exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chicken's real or imagined curative powers comes from its color.
Her book The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. Throughout the ages, she said, “there has been a lot of feeling that white-colored foods are easier to eat for the weak women and the ill.”In addition, “soups, or anything for that matter eaten with a spoon,” are considered "comfort foods" Sheraton said, “I love soup and I love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish...It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder,” Sheraton said from her New York home.
Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new.
The National Broiler Council, the trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that 51% of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50% said it was versatile, 41% said it was economical and 46% said it was low in fat.

由第二段“From Russian villages to Africa and Asia chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even the 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled its virtues. 从俄罗斯的村庄到非洲和亚洲，鸡汤一直是那些身体和精神虚弱的人的良药。

母亲们把她们的知识传给了古希腊，中国和罗马的作家，甚至12世纪的哲学家和医生摩西•迈蒙尼德都赞美它的优点。

母亲们把她们的知识传给了古希腊，中国和罗马的作家，甚至12世纪的哲学家和医生摩西•迈蒙尼德都赞美它的优点。

”可知鸡汤的价值流传已久，广为人知。

第3题:细节事实题。

从文章第三段“Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. 亚里士多德认为家禽应该比四条腿的动物站得更高，因为空气的密度比地球小。

15.单选题
young person thinking of going on the stage is “Don't!” But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.
Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!
1.According to the passage, the main reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is（）.

（）.

”由young actors with the stage in their blood are happy“血液中有舞台”说明对舞台的热爱是天生的。

故D项正确。

答案D
第2题:考查介词辨析。

architecture后面的部分做constant nearness的后置定语，故用介词of 修饰，此处意为人们认为建筑物总是在那里。

答案B
第3题:考查动词辨析。

由or we are abnormally blind可知此处B项正确。

正是因为人们的这种观点“建筑物总是在那里” 使人们对建筑物有了误解。

fold 折叠； sharpen 削尖，磨快； weaken 减少，使变弱。

答案B
第4题:考查固定搭配。

here and now此时此刻；here and there 各处；到处。

由“because it is with us every day建筑物每天都与我们在一起”可推知“所以我们习惯认为建筑物到处都是，而忘记了建筑物是此时此刻的艺术”故here and now符合题意。

第5题:考查连词辨析。

由and可知空格处所填单词与前面的because并列，也是表示原因，故D项正确。

再由空格后面的“we are apt to…”也可推断此空表示一种原因，引出后面的结果。

答案D
第6题:A考查副词辨析。

really 实际上；practically 实际地； invariably 总是，不变地。

由上文提到的“我们忘记了将建筑物看作是此时此刻的艺术”可知此处意为我们仅仅将房子认为是不变的地方，A项符合题意。

第7题:考查固定搭配。

think of sth. as sth.“将…看作…”知C项正确，答案C
第8题:考查连词辨析。

由This false doctrine及上文“我们将建筑认为是与法国大教堂或意大利宫殿或希腊神庙有关而与纽约或芝加哥街道或洛杉矶郊外无关”。

have something to do with与…
有关。

答案D
第9题:考查动词辨析。

由空格后“our minds are deafened to all the beauty that is being created around us today 我们的头脑对我们周围正在创造的一切美好事物充耳不闻”以及and表示并列关系可推知我们的眼睛也对周围的美好事物比较迟钝，感觉不到这些事物的美。

dulled “迟钝的，无趣的”；closed “关着的”；dusted“拂去灰尘的”；blinded “瞎的，不知情的”。

故D项正确。

第10题:考查连词辨析。

前面提到我们的眼睛和心灵都屏蔽了建筑物的美。

由此可知如果我们改变态度多体会的话，我们可能从普通环境中体会到这些深度的美景。

A项最符合语义。

or else 要不然，否则，其后一般跟完整的句子；probably “大概”；alternately “交替地”。

答案Afened to all the beauty that is being created around us today中的deafened 听不见的可推知空格处意为看不见的，故答案为A。

eyes are closed看不见的，闭着眼的。

23.翻译题
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong，have governed my life—the longing for
love，the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy—ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of living for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally，because in the union of love I have seen the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, at last. I have found.
One fairly common reason is that parents overindulge their children out of a sense of guilt. Parents who both hold down full-time jobs may feel guilty about the amount of time they spend away from their children and may attempt to compensate by showering them with material possessions. Other parents overindulge because they want their children to have everything they had while growing up, along with those things the parents yearned for but didn’t get. Still others are afraid to say no to their children’s endless requests for toys for fear that their children will feel unloved or will be ridiculed if they don’t have the same playthings their friends have.
The British are the most voracious newspaper readers in the world. They read newspapers at breakfast: they walk to the bus reading a newspaper: they read newspaper on the bus, as they go to work: and on the way back home, after work, they are engrossed in an evening newspaper. There are many morning papers, both national and provincial. The most famous is The Times. Contrary to what many foreigners believe, this is not a government newspaper. The various newspapers usually have their own views on politics, but they are not organs of the political parties. Bold headlines and a variety of photographs are features of British press. Some newspapers, such as the sober Daily Telegraph and the Times, use photographs sparingly. The more “popular” newspapers, such as the D aily Mail, and the Sun, use pictures extensively.

25.单选题
Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed, i.e. worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago "being employed" meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: middle-class and upper-class employees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working population, growing so fast that the industrial worker, that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production.
Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it be the mechanist, trade or bookkeeping. Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards,
and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employee-ship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employee-ship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee rather than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge.
1.It is implied that fifty years ago（）.
2.According to the passage, with the development of modern industry,
（）.
3.According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is （）.
4.From the passage it can be seen that employee-ship helps one（）.

【解析】第1题:推理判断题。

由“when fifty years ago “being employed” meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. 50年前，“受雇”意味着当工厂工人或农场工人，而今天的雇员越来越多地是受过正规教育的中产阶级，从事需要智力和技术技能的专业或管理工作。

”可知50年前受雇人群以工人为主，技术类人才较少。

故D项正确。

C项原文内容不符，AB项文中未提及。
