牛津上海(本地版)五四制初中英语八年级上册Module 3 Unit 7 Nobody wins(Ⅱ)单元测试卷(含小段音频)
Dinosaurs, one of the most successful groups of animals that have ever lived, evolved(进化) into many sizes and shapes. The word "dinosaur" was invented by Sir Richard Owen in 1842 to describe these "fearfully great reptiles(爬行动物) ".
Some things to keep in mind about dinosaurs:
·Not everything big and dead is a dinosaur. Dinosaurs were a special group of reptiles. Although Pterosaurs(翼龙) were similar, they were not true dinosaurs.
·Not all dinosaurs lived at the same time. Different dinosaurs lived at different times. Although you can see Stegosaurus(剑龙) fought against Tyrannosaurus
(暴龙) in some movies like King Kong and Jurassic Park, no Stegosaurus ever saw a Tyrannosaurus. It's because Tyrannosaurus appeared on the Earth about 80 million years after Stegosaurus died out.
Close your eyes and think back to the last time'you picked up a book, a magazine or a newspaper. While it may be easy for some to think of these moments, others may find it difficult.
I always enjoy reading the newspaper. Even was a child, I would search for the stories in Kids Post. It is hard for me to watch print journalism(新闻业) disappear as most people get news through digital platforms.
Since the introduction of the internet, society has found other ways to spread news and information. The internet is everywhere. This helps people get news much easier, because it is at one's fingertips at all times. The spreading of news began to change. Anyone can post online easily. Digital media may make news more available to read, but it raises questions about the most important rule of journalism: accuracy(准确性).
Readers may hate the spread of unreal information. The attitude is good for print journalism. Every day, as the public opens their favorite books or newspapers, it is important to think about how much effort goes into creating that body of work. Behind the scenes of every publication is a team of journalists working tirelessly to keep the public informed of the events which took place recently.
While print journalism is now facing challenges, its future is up to the public. As long as readers continue to value accuracy and journalists stick to this rule, print journalism does not have to disappear. The next time you find yourself aimlessly(漫无目的地) looking through the website, consider buying a book, a magazine, or a newspaper-the future of print journalism will thank you.
