2013年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解練習(xí)題
A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特定) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and ont glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (時(shí)事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暫的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own news paper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading .
這是一篇議論文,討論了報(bào)紙應(yīng)該具備的特性。
16. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ______ .
A) wide coverage B) uniform style
C) speed in reporting news D) popularity
[答案及分析]:[B]事實(shí)辨認(rèn)題。問下列哪項(xiàng)不是現(xiàn)代報(bào)紙的特征。A項(xiàng)意為“覆蓋面廣”。B為“風(fēng)格統(tǒng)一”。C項(xiàng)意為“新聞報(bào)道的速度(快)”。D項(xiàng)意為“大眾性”。A、C、D三項(xiàng)的意思在文中都可找到,B項(xiàng)與文章原意恰相反,所以選B。
17. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the "same"
newspaper is that ______ .
A) people scan for the news they are interested in
B) different people prefer different newspapers
C) people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
D) people have different views about what a good newspaper is
[答案及分析]:[A]事實(shí)辨認(rèn)題。問文章認(rèn)為,沒有兩個(gè)人真正地讀同樣的報(bào)紙的原因是下列哪項(xiàng)。文章對(duì)此有回答:“For all these reasons”,而此句中的reason指的是前文中的幾句話,由此不難看出,僅有A項(xiàng)與文章原意一致。
18. It can be conclude from the passage that newspaper readers ______ .
A) apply reading techniques skillfully
B) jump from one newspaper to another
C) appreciate the variety of a newspaper
D) usually read a newspaper selectively
[答案及分析]:[D]推論題。問從文中可以得出關(guān)于報(bào)紙讀者的什么結(jié)論。A項(xiàng)意為“讀者都熟練地運(yùn)用了閱讀技巧”。而文章原意只是說(shuō):“要有效地閱讀報(bào)紙需要運(yùn)用閱讀技巧”(文章最后一句),并未說(shuō)所有讀者都能熟練運(yùn)用閱讀技巧,所以A項(xiàng)可排除。B項(xiàng)意為“讀者總是將一份報(bào)紙換到另一份報(bào)紙”,而文章原意為從一份報(bào)紙的這兒跳到那兒,有選擇地看所以項(xiàng)也不符合原文意思。C項(xiàng)意為“欣賞報(bào)紙的多樣性”。文章原意為:一份好的報(bào)紙應(yīng)該豐富多樣,以滿足不同讀者的愛好、需要,因?yàn)椴煌淖x者有不同的愛好、需要,他根據(jù)自己的愛好、需要來(lái)有選擇地閱讀報(bào)紙,而非讀者喜歡報(bào)紙的多樣性。所以排除C 項(xiàng)選擇D項(xiàng)。
19. A good newspaper offers "a variety"to readers because ______ .
A) it tries to serve different readers
B) it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality
C) readers are difficult to please
D) readers like to read different newspapers
[答案及分析]:[A]事實(shí)辨認(rèn)題。問一份好的'報(bào)紙之所以要給讀者提供豐富多樣的內(nèi)容的原因是什么。文章對(duì)此作了直接明了的回答:attract many different readers.A項(xiàng)正是此句,所以正確項(xiàng)是A。
20. The best title for this passage would be "______".
A) The importance of Newspaper Topicality
B) The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper
C) The Variety of a Good Newspaper
D) Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper
