people buy as many as two or three different papers.
Why do people read newspapers?
Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometowns, in our country and in other parts
of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same
day they happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago, news of things took months
or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often passed from one
person to another andnever entirely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what
happened in our country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we
can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or
concerts we can go to we can look in the newspapers.
In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house
or rooms that they can rent, or even when looking for a person who is lost.
B. all people read newspapers
C. every person in America or England reads newspapers
D. all families read newspapers
B. only world news
C. home news and world news
D. important things
B. Newspapers not only supply us with news from all over the world but also give us a lot of useful information.
C. Hundreds of years ago news was not wholly true because it was told in spoken words.
D. If you have no place to live in, you can put notice in a newspaper and then you will certainly get a room to live in.
B. requirements for a job or a house
C. information about a lost person
D. all of the above

试题【阅读理解 Almost every family in America or England buys at least one copy of a n】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays.
Besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the British press which sells almost
as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and
country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own finance(财政) and many of them are very
profitable.
These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events-births, weddings,
deaths, council(议会) meetings and sports. Editors prefer to depend on people who know the district
well. A great deal of local. news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it
does not get out of date as quickly as national news.
The editors must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. They are
usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well
written and the news items have been carefully chosen to draw local readers, the businessmen are
grateful for the chance to keep their products in the public eyes.

newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest
events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You"ll even get to choose the kind
of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire
text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from
communication experts working on the newspaper of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based
on media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting,
offering news and analysis with video images of news events.
Most of the technology is available now. but convincing more people that they don"t need to read a
newspaper is the next step. Besides, resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from within
journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of joumalists and
publishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer
a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspaper unavoidable.
Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens.
It might take 30 t0 40 years to complete the change over because people need to buy computers and
because newspapers have established financial (财经的) interests in the paper industry.

means a lonely child. Many single-child parents feel a dilemma (进退两难) associated with their
decision to have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with
(交往) , and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times, especially during vacations.
Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled
than one with brothers or sisters. Many people believe that a single child will not have leamed to
negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this
may leave the child less able to interact(交往) well with people his or her own age than one who has
been raised with brothers or sisters.
However,for some single-child parents, particularly those with busy careers, the pressures of giving
time and energy to a second child can seem too great, resulting in them selecting to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration. Still
others believe that, , the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention.
This often leads to increased self-respect which, combined with increased independence, can lead to the
child being more confident.

there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These
people are willing to risk(冒……危险) being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the
excitement of watching the storm close up.
"Storm chasing (追逐 )" is becoming an increasingly popular hobby (喜好) , especially in the
Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser
begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1 000
kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw
a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents
caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm- chasing
vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. "Storm chasing is 95% driving, " says
Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm- chasing. "sSometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers. "
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight
you will ever see in your life, " says Jasper Morley. "Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It
is the greatest show on Earth. "

A not to drive in a heavy rain
B. to do it in an organized way

explanation is connected with the Babylonians.
Many,many centuries ago,large distances were measured in the Babylonian mile. The Babylonian
mile equaled about seven of our miles. Because of its length, the time needed to travel the Babylonian
mile became a measure of time. One day was said to be twelve Babylonian time-miles.
About one thousand years before Christ, the Babylonians began keeping records of star movements.
They needed a way to record how much time passed between the moment they first saw a star and
then observed it again. They used the Babylonian time-mile as their measure of time.
In order to have small units of time, the Babylonians divided their time-mile into thirty parts. The
Babylonians believed that each trip around the sky was a circle. One complete trip around the sky,
they reasoned,took one day.
You already know that one day was the same as twelve Babylonian time-mile. Since each time-mile
was divided into thirty parts,the circular trip around the sky was 12 x 30,or 360 parts long. That is how
there came to be 360 degrees in a circle.
1. The purpose of this passage is to explain .
A. how the Babylonians measured the time of star movements
B. why the circle is divided int0 360 degrees
C. the Babylonian mile and the Babylonian time-mile
D. the Babylonians" ideas about the sky
2. For what was the Babylonian time-mile divided into thirty parts?
A. To make a day into 360 parts.
B. To make a circle into 360 parts.
C. To measure more exact distances.
D. To measure more exact time.
3. We conclude the one Babylonian time-mile equals .
A. two hours
B. about seven miles
C. one day
D. twelve degrees
4. Suppose o on the following circle was the time the Babylonians first saw a star,and then it took 13. 5
Babyloruan time-miles to see it again,where should the time be marked on the circle?
A. 45.
B. 90.
C. 135.
D. 315.
