    Your caution not to fall for the sales reminded me of the days when I was a stock boy at my neighbourhood grocery in the 1950s． One time,  we got a delivery of off﹣brand vegetables． I priced them at ten cents a can． I don't think we sold more than sis cans ﹣﹣﹣ until I put up a sign that said "Special:  Nine for ﹩1．" I set them out Thursday evening,  and by noon on Saturday they were gone．     EDWARD DECKERD,      Perryville,  Missouri Bill's Last,  Best Gift     Tracy Grant's article resonated （引起共鸣） deeply with me． Twelve years ago,  my husband,  Don,  was found to have terminal brain

last, best gift of love and peace．     ANITA LAWRENCE,      Diego,  California Trapped Inside a Glacier     Reading about John All's experience on MountHimlung was very inspiring to me． A man with 15

a lifelong reader． Out of all the great content in Reader s Digest,  stories like his are the ones I enjoy the most．     SAM KIEFFER, Richardson,  Texas Dishes Professional Chefs Cook in the Microwave

put lobsters on ice before cooking them． I hope you provide an update to your story promoting humane （人道的） practices instead of very cruel and violent ones．     JANETTOOLE,      Phoenixville,

days of complex news it must provide mere:  it must supply interpretation,  the meaning of the facts． This is a very important assignment facing American journalists 一 to make clear to the reader the problems of the day,  to make international news understandable as community news,  to recognize that there is no longer any such thing as "local" news,  because any event in the international area has a local reaction in the financial market,  political circles,  in terms,  indeed,  of our very way of life． There is in journalism a widespread view that when you start an interpretation,  you are entering dangerous waters,  the rushing tides of opinion． This is nonsense．     The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall limit themselves to the "facts"． This insistence raises two questions:  What are the facts?  Are the bare facts enough?      As for the first question,  consider how a so﹣called "factual" story conics about． The reporter collects,  say,  fifty facts;  out of these fifty,  his space being necessarily restricted,  he selects the ten which he considers most 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 ‎ important． This is Judgment Number One． Then he or his editor decides which of these ten facts shall make up the beginning of the article,  which is an important decision because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph． This is Judgment Number Two． Then the night editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one,  where it has a large influence,  or on page twenty four,  where it has little． Judgment Number Three．     Thus in the presentation of a so﹣called "factual" or ''objective",  story,  at least three judgments are involved． And they are judgments not at all unlike those involved in interpretation,  in which reporters and editors,  calling upon their research resources,  their general background,  and their "news neutralism",  arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news．     The two areas of judgment,  presentation of the news and its interpretation,  are both objective and subjective processes． If an editor is determined to give a prejudiced view of the news,  he can do it in other ways and more effectively than by interpretation． He can do it by the selection of those facts that support his particular viewpoint． Or he can do it by the place he gives a story 一 promoting it to page one or dragging it to page thirty． ‎ ‎（1）According to the first paragraph， which of the following statements is TRUE？________‎ A.Journalists must select facts objectively to make current events clear to the readers．‎ B.If a reporter makes clear the facts he writes， he will no doubt get into trouble．‎ C.The most important task of reporters is Io provide unprejudiced facts for the readers．‎ D.For reporters， interpretation of facts is no less important than presentation of the facts．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）The beginning of the article should present the most important fact because________．‎ A.most readers read only the first paragraph B.it will influence the reader to continue C.it details the general attitude of the writer D.it's the best way to write according to the schools of journal ism．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）Where a story is presented in a newspaper shows________．‎ A.the reporter's background B.the editor's prejudice C.the story's factual matter D.the story's effect on the readers． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）Which of the following can best express the author's attitude toward objectiveness？________‎ A.Properly choosing facts prepares a solid ground for objectiveness．‎ B.Objectiveness is controlled by editors rather than writers．‎ C.He doesn't think there exists complete objectiveness in news writing．‎ D.To make clear the news is a way to be objective and responsible for the readers．‎ Section C （8

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can he used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ A．There's no waiting for it and no counting of cash． B．The system is impressively simple and secure． C．Security is nothing to worry about with the procedures． D．Clearing up cash payments has several advantages as well． E．However， some people doubt what members of a cashless society will do when the power goes off F．Privacy security and convenience are all important factors in the adoption of electronic payment technology． When he rolls into a gas station to fill his tank， Barkhad Dahir doesn't get out of his car． He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel． With the same quick pushes on his phone he pays for almost everything he needs． Electronic payments offer consumers convenience， provide profits for banks， credit card companies and payment processors and offer merchants improved cash flow and convenience． "I haven't seen cash for a long time． Almost every merchant even hawker （小贩）on the street accepts payment by cellphone．（1）________" says Adan Abokora， a democracy activist． Purchases are made by dialing a three﹣digit number， entering a four﹣digit PIN and then entering the retailer's payment number and the amount of money． Both customers and merchants receive text messages to confirm the payment．（2）________For instance， the printing and handling of money is expensive． Cash payments can be anonymous （匿名 的）and it is hard to track criminal activities conducted in secret． Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens． The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010． （3）________Do they choose to rob？ Do they sit at home and wait？ What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted？ A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be ready to abandon currency．" Other people tear that electronic payments may create security risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported．（4）________New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable people to remove cash． ‎ IV. Summary Writing （10 分）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Directions： Read the following passage． Summarize the main idea and the main point（s）of the passage in no more than 60 words． Use your own words as far as possible． It goes without saying that the language spoken by the majority of British people has the same name as the language spoken by most citizens of the U．S．A． Nonetheless， quite apart from well﹣documented lexical （词汇的）differences ﹣ pavement/sidewalk， lift/elevator， etc． 一 there are still some words and phrases which can cause confusion and misunderstanding between speakers of the two different forms． That's why sonic people say that Great Britain and the United States are nations separated by a common language． There are practical reasons fi）r this． When the first English settlers arrived in what we now call America， the language they spoke was naturally the same as that spoken by their compatriots （同胞）on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean． However， they immediately saw things which didn't exist in Europe， often items used and made by Native Americans， such as canoes and moccasins and creatures such as buffalo． They also picked up words which they heard being used by other European immigrants． The word "boss"， for example， was used by settlers from Holland in New York ill 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 ‎ the mid﹣17‎​‎th century． It comes from the Dutch word "baas'" which means master． The word "cookie" also comes from the Dutch "koekje"． There are many words， phrases and even grammatical structures which are mistaken for Americanisms （美式英语用语）in Britain when they are nothing of the sort． Very often， they represent not an American import， but an original form of British English which has disappeared in Britain． The verbs "guess" meaning think and "loan"meaning lend and the adjective "mad" meaning angry are frequently criticized as Americanisms， yet they all appeared in British English hundreds of years ago． In the case of "loan"， it was used as long ago as 1，200 years! Tn fact， English spoken in the UK has changed so thoroughly in the last 500 years that American English now represents the last place where some original British English forms can be found． ‎ V Translation （15 分）Directions： Translate the following sentences into English， using the words given in the brackets.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 他很少意识到与他人交流的重要性．（Seldom）________ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 大学扩招了，这就意味於更多人能有机会接受商等教弃．（access）________ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 应该善待为国家做出巨大贡献的人，这样他们才能全身心投入到工作中去．（in order that）________ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 这本漫画书内容新颖，价格合理，在此次书展上大受追捧，连老年读者都赞不绝口．（It…）________ ‎ VI.
