Working the land一、阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。He had more than 160 reports as a reporter on the Metro desk and more than 170 in 19 months as a national journalist based in Kansas City，Mo.But perhaps the most important piece of writing that AG.Sulzberger did for The New York Times before Wednesdaywhen he was named deputy publisherwas not an article and was not published in The Times，but was all about The Times.That work came to be known as the “innovation(创新)report”，which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future for the newspaper his family has owned since 1896 and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes.In a conversation in his office on Wednesday，Mr.Sulzberger said he saw the innovation report and the thinking that led to his conclusions as“a wakeup call to the newsroom that we were at risk of missing the moment”“It was always easy to see how changes will endanger the traditions of the place，”he said，“but what became really clear to me was not changing was the more dangerous course if we cared about the traditions of the place.”Unlike some of the former deputy publishers in his role，Mr.Sulzberger has been more experienced in the newsroom than in advertising or consumer marketing.Still，his colleagues described him as a quick study whose modesty masked deep inner confidence.Besides，in the newsroom or out on an assignment，Mr.Sulzberger did not show off his connection to The Times owners.“I recognized the name.”said Vincent Bova，a video editor who figured in a feature article that Mr.Sulzberger wrote in 2010.“I mean，I knew I was dealing with royalty.There was no reason for me to bring that up with him，and he didnt.”So Mr.Sulzberger，in some way，has qualified himself for the position since long time ago.1A.G.Sulzberger wrote the“innovation report”mainly to _.Aurge revolutions in The TimesBgain the position of deputy publisherCpromote changes in New York CityDshow directions to his family future2What is the biggest threat to traditional media according to Mr.Sulzberger?AScientific developments.BRapid social changes.CTheir own stubbornness.DDecreasing readers.3How does the author show us what Mr.Sulzberger is like in the last paragraph?ABy paring him with others.BBy interviewing him in person.CBy giving examples of his routines.DBy quoting ments from others.4What does the author think of Mr.Sulzberger according to the passage?ACasual.

digital future.The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes”可知，“创新报道”关注报纸数字化未来的重要性，纽约时报如果不改革，则将面临危机。据此可以判断，A.G.Sulzberger提及“创新报道”的目的是敦促纽约时报进行变革，故A项正确。2C考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes”和文章中提到的“innovation report”可知，A.G.Sulzberger认为纽约时报如果不做出变革，则将面临危机；据此可以判断，A.G.Sulzberger认为传统媒体面临的最大的问题是它们固执己见，不思变革，故C项正确。3D考查写作方法。通读最后一段可知，该段第二句介绍了同事对A.G.Sulzberger的评价，第四句和第五句介绍了视频编辑Vincent Bova对他的评价；据此可以判断，最后一段是通过别人的评价来描述A.G.Sulzberger的，故D项正确。4C考查观点态度。通读全文可知， AG.Sulzberger提出“创新报道”理论并前瞻性地认识到数字化时代对传统媒体的影响，意识到传统媒体变革的重要意义；据此可以判断，作者对A.G.Sulzberger的态度是钦佩的，故C项正确。二、单句语法填空1(2017江苏高考)_(determine) where we are in relation to our surroundings remains an essential skill for our survival.答案：Determining分析句子结构可知，应用动名词短语作主语，即本句中Determining where we are in relation to our

“令人不安的”，在句中作表语。8The discovery of new evidence led to the thiefs _(catch)答案：being caught本句中，lead to后接名词或动名词(短语)，且the thief和catch存在被动关系，故填being caught，即动名词的被动结构，作lead to的宾语。9I am not _(satisfy) with the way he cut my hair.答案：satisfiedbe satisfied with . 为固定短语，意为“对感到满意”。10Though he is young, he is struggling _(support) a large family.答案：to supportstruggle to do sth.

left是“你还剩下多长时间”的意思，left用作后置定语。故选B项。2C根据该空后的people older than me可判断，作者以为父(母)亲垂死这件事只会发生在比他年龄更大的人身上。故选C项。3Din doubt意为“怀疑”；in anger意为“生气地”；in vain 意为“徒劳无益地”；in shock意为“震惊地；吃惊地”。听到父亲患癌这件事，作者当然是长时间地感到震惊。故选D项。刷有所得方法：做完形填空题时，有些题要注意该空前后的介词、副词等。有时需要分别把选项与前后的介词、副词相搭配，再判断它们搭配后哪个短语的意思更符合上下文的逻辑。4A根据下文But there was nothing I could
