living on part of the south coast of England face a serious problem.In 1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered,to their horror,that their gardens had disappeared overnight.The sea had eaten into the soft limestones(石灰岩)cliffs on which they had been built.While experts were studying the problem,the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether,sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion(侵蚀)of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years.Dozens of homes have had to be rejected as the sea has crept farther and farther inland.Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people,forecasting(预测)the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to set up sea defenses to protect their homes.Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases,this is impossible.New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast,transferring the problem from one area to another.The danger is likely to continue,they say,until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is.Meanwhile,if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future,apply to a house agent(代理商)in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England.You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.46.What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast face?A.The rising of the sea level.B.The washing-away of limestone cliffs.C.The experts lack of knowledge.D.The disappearance of hotels,houses and gardens.答案：B47.The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England_.A.will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB.has now become a threat to the local residents(居民)C.can be stopped if proper measures are takenD.is quickly changing the map of England答案：B48.The experts study on the problem of erosion can_.A.warn people whose homes are in dangerB.help to its final solutionC.provide an effective way to slow it downD.lead to its final solution答案：A49.It is not feasible(可行的)to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because _.A.house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB.the government is too slow in taking actionC.it is too costly and will endanger neighbouring areasD.they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents答案：CBThe first newspaper was written by hand and put up on walls in public places.The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 B.C. In the 700s the worlds first printed newspaper was published.Europe didnt have a regularly published newspaper until 1609,when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in England was printed in Amsterdam in 1620.In 1621,an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week.The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courtant,which came out in March 1702.In 1690,Beijamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston.But not long after it was first published,the government stopped the paper.In 1704,John Campbell started the Boston newspaper,the first newspaper published daily the American Colonies(殖民地).By 1760,the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers.There are now about 1 800 daily papers in the United States.Today,as a group,English language newspapers have the largest circulation(发行量)in the world.But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun.It sells more than eleven million copies every year.50.The first regularly printed European newspaper started in _.A.Rome in 59 B.C.B.Germany in 1609C.Amsterdam in 1620D.England in 1621答案：B51.The first daily newspaper in English started in_.A.1620B.1621C.1690D.1702答案：D52.From the article,we know that_.A.newspapers have the longest history in the United StatesB.English language newspaper has the largest circulation in the worldC.the first daily newspaper was printed in Rome in 59 B.C.D.there are all kinds of newspapers all over the world today答案：C53.The best title for this passage should be_.A.History of newspaperB.History of Daily newspapersC.The Beginning of newspapersD.On Reading newspapers答案：ACSometime in the next century,the familiar early-morning newspaper on the front porch will disappear.And instead of reading your newspaper,it will read to you.Youll get up and turn on the computer 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.Youll 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 file if you like.These are among the predictions from communications experts working on the newspapers of the future.Pictured as part of broader home-based 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 dont need paper to read a newspaper is the next step.But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism(新闻界).Since it is such a cultural change,it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry.Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances,it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens.It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the change over because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.54.The best title of this passage is_.A.Computer Newspapers are Well LikedB.Newspapers of the Future will Likely be on ComputerC.Newspapers are out of FashionD.New Comunications Technology答案：B55.It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers, because_.A.it is technologically impossible nowB.computer newspapers are too expensiveC.there is strong resistance from both the general population and professional journalistsD.traditional newspapers are easier to read答案：C56.Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A.They are cheaper than traditional newspapers.B.They are very convenient to use.C.You can get more information from them quickly.D.You can easily save information for future use.答案：A57.We can infer from the passage that_.A.all technological changes are goodB.all technologies will eventually replace old onesC.new technologies will eventually replace old onesD.traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century答案：CDA good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading.Its remarkable first for what it contains:the range of news from local crime to international politics,from sports to business to fashion to science,and the range of comment and special features(特写)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 out,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 reader is interested in.What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性),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(短暂的)value.For all these reasons,not two people really read the same paper:what each person does is to put together,out of the pages of that days paper,his own selection and sequence,his own newspaper.For all these reasons,reading newspapers efficiently,which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need and without wasting time,demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.58.A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following EXCEPT its_.A.wide coverageB.uniform styleC.speed in reporting newsD.popularity答案：B59.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 inB.different people prefer different newspaperC.people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsD.people have different views about what a good newspaper is答案：A60.It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers _.A.apply reading techniques skillfullyB.jump from one newspaper to anotherC.appreciate the variety of a newspaperD.usually read a newspaper selectively答案：D61.The best title for this passage would be_.A.The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityB.The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperC.The Variety of a Good NewspaperD.Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper答案：BEThe printed word is just about the most important way we have of communication with one another.Look around you at the books in school,at the newspapers at home,at the posters on walls and the stamps you stick on envelopes before posting them.Consider,too,the importance of being able to understand the instructions printed on packages of food and medicine sold in shops.In these and in many other ways,the printed word has become so important that it is difficult to imagine how life could go on without it.In everyday life there are hundreds of situations in which people need to communicate with one another,and the printed word is nearly always the best method of communication where large numbers of people are involved.As you may know,communication intended to reach a large number of people is called mass communication.The main present-day forms of mass communication using the printed word are newspapers,magazines and books.In the case of a modern national newspaper,thousands of copies of each issue(期)may be printed and read in a single day.The best known forms of modern mass communication which do not use the printed word are television and radio.Television or radio broadcasts may also reach millions of people at a time.Printing is so important nowadays that it is difficult to imagine how people could manage without it.In fact,though,it was many centuries before man even had a language.Early cave men communicated with one another by sign language or by drawing on the walls of their caves.62.We use the printed word mainly to_.A.communicate with each otherB.read books and newspapersC.study knowledgeD.write articles答案：A63.The printed word has become very important because_.A.it is almost the best method of communicationB.it is difficult to imagine how life could go on without itC.it is the best way for large numbers of people to communicate with each otherD.there are hundreds of situations in which two people need to talk with each other答案：C64.The best known printed forms of mass communication are_.A.letters and advertisementsB.newspapers,magazines and booksC.packets of food and medicineD.television and radio答案：B65.The passage means to tell us_.A.how people communicate with each otherB.how people use the printed wordC.that mass communication is very important to usD.that the printed word is very important to us答案：D.语境填词 66.The class is too large.We shall have to d
