【題目】將下列單詞或詞組填入空格。每空格限填一詞，每個(gè)單詞或詞組只能填一次

A. part B. realize C. stations D. events E. receive

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to 【1】news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.

Newspapers have been an important 【2】of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV【3】 can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead, they print stories about plane accidents.

In addition, many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and 【4】in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in Britain, French and American newspaper.

【答案】

【1】E

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

短文主要講了自18世紀(jì)以來，報(bào)紙一直是日常生活中重要的一部分。報(bào)紙編輯如何決定要刊登哪些新聞故事？為什么他們會(huì)刊登一些故事而不是其他的呢？什么是一個(gè)好的報(bào)紙故事？首先，報(bào)道新故事很重要。其次，新聞故事必須是有趣和不尋常的。此外，許多人對外國的新聞感興趣，但更多的人更喜歡閱讀關(guān)于自己國家的人、地方和事件的故事。

【1】句意：人們需要幾天、幾周甚至幾個(gè)月才能收到消息。

結(jié)合上文可知，過去只能靠馬傳遞消息，運(yùn)送的很慢，所以接受信息也慢，空格前面是to，此處為動(dòng)詞不定式，選擇receive，故選：E。

【2】句意：自18世紀(jì)以來，報(bào)紙一直是日常生活的重要組成部分。

考查固定搭配，an important part表示在…方面有重要作用，故選：A。

【3】句意：電視臺報(bào)道新聞的速度比報(bào)紙快得多。

考查固定搭配，TV stations是固定搭配表示電視臺，此處是比較電視臺和報(bào)紙?jiān)趫?bào)道新聞方面的異同點(diǎn)，故選：C。

【4】句意：此外，許多人對外國的新聞感興趣，但更多的人更喜歡閱讀關(guān)于自己國家的人、地方和事件的故事。

events是名詞，此處應(yīng)該與前文相對應(yīng)，使用事件這個(gè)名詞，event為可數(shù)名詞，空格前面沒有冠詞，此處用名詞復(fù)數(shù)。故選：D。
