一、根据汉语提示完成下列句子

二、阅读理解

  • 9. 阅读理解

        Does your local high school have a student newspaper? Only 1 in 8 of New York's public high schools has student newspapers—and many of those are published just a few times a year. A few more are online, which can leave out poorer schools.

        Rebecca Dwarka, an 18-year-old senior who works for her student paper said, "Facebook is the new way of finding out what happened. Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it. This makes a 'whole article' sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places."

        I am not nostalgic(怀旧的) about high school student newspapers and never worked for mine. I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace, war and rock 'n' roll without school officials warning us not to make jokes about the local officials.

        School newspapers are in decline(衰落) because students now find out what happened on social networking websites. This is a little discouraging because it proves that for millions of Americans, journalism is becoming a do-it-yourself thing. Every citizen can be a reporter.

        When something happens, we look for social media messages. Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove, deny, pass on stories and express opinions without the press' challenging, researching or slowing the message.

        It requires seeing something carefully and it uses an eye for details to help prove a larger view. And even journalism that conveys an opinion tries to be fair. If school newspapers begin to disappear, I hope there are other ways for students to learn that.

    (1) What can we infer from Rebecca's words?
    A . Students like reading detailed articles. B . School newspapers are becoming unpopular. C . Facebook is the quickest way of spreading news. D . Long sentences are becoming popular in lonely places.
    (2) What does the author think of social media messages?
    A . They make journalism become a craft. B . They represent the power of small voices. C . They are usually discouraging for readers. D . They are coming without careful research.
    (3) What should good journalism do according to the author?
    A . Ignore some details. B . Spread a message quickly. C . Convey an opinion in a fair way. D . Act as blog posts in modern times.
    (4) Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?
    A . Social media or newspapers? B . Everyone can become a reporter at present C . Social networking brings about new journalism D . High school newspapers—an endangered species

  • 11. 读后续写

    阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

        A friend of mine whose name was Martin Brown had a bad memory, which made him really famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to always remind him about his appointments, his classes or even his meals! Since Martin was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness often caused him a lot of trouble. It wasn't that he was unintelligent, as some critical people tended to say, he was just very, very absent-minded.

        One hot summer day, Professor Brown decided to take his children to the beach. The seaside town he planned to visit was about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he decided to keep the name of the town secret. Unfortunately, by the time Martin had arrived at the train station, the poor forgetful man had forgotten the name of the town. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Martin went back home to find out where he was going.

        The professor's wife was surprised to see him back again so soon, but she laughed when she heard what was the matter. She distrusted his memory, so she wrote the name of the town on a piece of paper. Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later, she was astonished to see him outside the house again.

    注意:

    1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

    2)至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;

    3)续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

    Paragraph 1:

        "What was the matter now?" asked his wife. 

    Paragraph 2:

        Hearing the cry, out rushed the neighbours, trying to find out what had happened.
