2020届一轮复习人教版必修五Unit4 Makingthenews单元学案(65页)
2020届一轮复习人教版必修五Unit 4 Making the news单元学案 与传统媒体相比,互联网作为一种新的媒体形式存在着可信度不高的劣势,但它发展迅猛,前途无量。 Although the Internet is relatively new to the modern world,it has rapidly become part of our daily life. It has become one of the major media of communication and news resources in today’s society. It’s not a surprise that this infant medium would soon take the place of the traditional sources for news. But,can something so new be trusted?In a medium where anyone can create a webpage,no one knows which news is fake and which news is real. At least with newspapers,we have our established names. And even with television,we think we can trust our nightly news report on the national television stations. Still,studies show that the Internet still is a main,if not the most significant source for news. The Internet began as a connection of a few government computers used mainly for military(军事的) purposes. Then,very basic things began to grow out of it:such as download areas and simple e-mail. With the creation of HTML which could let you jump from site to site through links,“web browsers (浏览器)” were created. Then came the first webpages and the first bits of news whether the news was personal,local or national. The evolution of online news wasn’t slow. In fact,most of the growth took place within a single year. With the quick and recent influence of the Internet,it becomes difficult to differentiate between the more established news sources and the online medium. We know we can trust sites like MSNBC because they have an established name already in television news. But,with journalists like Mike Drudge (who broke the Monica Lewinksy scandal),his site has been considered more of a “rumor center” than a source for legitimate news. Yet this does not prevent people from using the sites,as news websites offer the quickest,most accurate statistics on news stories. Users need to be careful about which sources they can really trust,personal pages or professional ones. 词海拾贝 1.take the place of 代替 2.fake adj. 假的 3.establish v. 建立 4.download v. 下载 5.prevent sb from doing sth 阻止某人做某事 6.professional adj. 专业的 Part Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading Ⅰ.重点单词 1.update vt.更新;使现代化 2.acquire vt.获得;取得;学到 3.assess vt.评估;评定 4.meanwhile adv.其间;同时 5.case n.情况;病例;案例 6.accuse vt.指责;谴责;控告 7.deliberately adv.故意地 8.dilemma n.(进退两难的)困境;窘境 9.demand n.需求;要求 vt.强烈要求 10.publish vt.出版;发行;发表;公布 11.thorough adj.彻底的;详尽的 12.gifted adj.有天赋的→gift n.天赋;礼物 13.delighted adj.快乐的;欣喜的→delight vt.使高兴→delightful adj.令人愉快的 14.admirable adj.值得赞扬的;令人钦佩的→admire vt.钦佩→admiration n.钦佩 15.assist vt.帮助;协助;援助→assistant n.助手;助理;售货员→assistance n.帮助;协助 16.profession n.职业;专业→professional adj.专业的;职业的 n.专业人员 17.concentrate vi.& vt.集中;聚集→concentration n.专心 18.inform vt.告知;通知→information n.信息 19.guilty adj.犯罪的;有罪的;内疚的→guilt n.负罪感 20.technical adj.技术(上)的;技巧方面的→technically adv.技术上;工艺上 21.photograph n.照片 vt.给……照相→photographer n.摄影师→photography n.摄影 22.unusual adj.不同寻常的;独特的→usual adj.寻常的 Ⅱ.核心短语 1.concentrate__on 集中;全神贯注于 2.have__a__nose__for 对……敏感 3.inform__sb__of/about__sth__ 通知某人某事 4.keep__in__mind 记在心头 5.depend on/upon 依靠;依赖 6.accuse...of 因……指责或控告…… 7.so as to (do sth) 为了(做)…… 8.look forward to 盼望;期望 Ⅲ.经典句式 1.Never__will__Zhou__Yang__(ZY)__forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper. 周阳永远不会忘记他在一家受欢迎的英文报社上班时的第一项工作任务。 2.Not__only__am__I interested in photography,but I took an amateur course at university to update my skills. 对摄影我不仅只是感兴趣,在大学里我还选修过业余摄影课来更新我的摄影技术。 3.Only__if__you__ask__many__different__questions__will__you acquire all the information you need to know. 你只有提出了许多不同的问题之后才有可能获得你需要知道的信息。 4.Have you ever had a__case__where someone accused your journalists of getting the wrong end of the stick?

HX:Welcome.We’re delighted④ you’re coming to work with us.Your first job here will be an assistant ⑤ journalist.Do you have any questions? ZY:Can I go out on a story immediately⑥? HX:(laughing)That’s admirable⑦,but I’m afraid it would be unusual⑧!Wait till you’re more experienced⑨.First we’ll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist.Later you can cover⑩ a story and submit⑪ the article yourself. ZY:Wonderful.What do I need to take with me?I already have a notebook and camera. HX:No need for a camera.You’ll have a professional⑫ photographer⑬ with you to take photographs⑭.You’ll find your colleagues⑮ very eager⑯ to assist⑰ you,so you may be able to concentrate on⑱ photography⑲ later if you’re interested. ZY:Thank you.Not only am I interested in photography,but I took an amateur⑳ course at university to update my skills. HX:Good. ZY:What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story? HX:You need to be curious.Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know.We say a good journalist must have a good “nose” for a story.That means you must be able to assess when people are not telling the whole truth and then try to discover it.They must use research to inform themselves of the missing parts of the story. ZY:What should I keep in mind? HX:Here comes my list of dos and don’ts:don’t miss your deadline,don’t be rude,don’t talk too much,but make sure you listen to the interviewee carefully. ZY:Why is listening so important? HX:Well,you have to listen for detailed facts.Meanwhile you have to prepare the next question depending on what the person says. ZY:But how can I listen carefully while taking notes? HX:This is a trick of the trade.If the interviewee agrees,you can use a recorder to get the facts straight.It’s also useful if a person wants to challenge you.You have the evidence to support your story. ZY:I see!Have you ever had a case where someone accused your journalists of getting the wrong end of the stick? HX:Yes,but it was a long time ago.This is how the story goes.A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win.We went to interview him.He denied taking money but we were sceptical.So we arranged an interview between the footballer and the man supposed to bribe him.When we saw them together we guessed from the footballer’s body language that he was not telling the truth.So we wrote an article suggesting he was guilty.It was a dilemma because the footballer could have demanded damages if we were wrong.He tried to stop us publishing it but later we were proved right. ZY:Wow!That was a real“scoop”.I’m looking forward toB51 my first assignment now.Perhaps I’ll get a scoop too! HX:Perhaps you will.You never know. 课文译文 我的第一项工作任务 “难以忘怀”,新的记者说 周阳永远不会忘记他在一家受欢迎的英文报社上班时的第一项工作任务。他同新上司胡欣的讨论必将对他(以后)的记者生涯产生很大的影响。 胡欣:欢迎你。非常高兴你来与我们一起工作。你来这儿首先就是当助理记者。有什么问题吗? 周阳:我可以马上出去采访吗? 胡欣:(笑)这值得赞扬,不过恐怕这不符合常规,还是等到你比较有经验时。我们先要派你给有经验的记者做助理。晚些时候,你就可以独自去进行新闻采访并递交稿件了。 周阳:太好了!我需要随身带些什么?我已经带了笔记本和照相机。 胡欣:不需要照相机。会有一名专业的摄影师跟着你去拍照。你将发现你的同事们会很热情地帮助你。所以如果你感兴趣的话,以后你也许可以集中精力于摄影。 周阳:谢谢你。我对摄影不仅仅感兴趣,上大学时我还选修了(摄影)课来更新我的技能。 胡欣:那很好呀。 周阳:我出去采访时需要记住些什么事呢? 胡欣:你需要有好奇心。只有提很多不同的问题,你才能收集到你所需要的信息。我们说,一个好记者必须具备对新闻非常敏感的“嗅觉”。也就是说,当人们没有说出全部真相时,你必须能够作出判断,并尽力发现真相。他们必须通过调查来使自己了解新闻报道中被遗漏的那些部分。 周阳:我应该注意些什么呢? 胡欣:下面是我的行为准则:不要超过期限,不可对人粗鲁,不可(自己)说得太多,但务必仔细听被采访者的回答。 周阳:为什么倾听如此重要呢? 胡欣:噢,你得听清楚事实的细节。同时你得根据被采访者所说的话准备(提出)下一个问题。 周阳:但是在我记笔记的同时,我又如何能仔细听呢? 胡欣:这就是我们这个行业的诀窍了。如果被采访者允许,你可以用录音机把事实弄清楚。如果有人提出质疑,录音也会派上用场,你就有证据来支持自己的报道了。 周阳:我明白了!你有没有遇到过这样的情况:别人控告你的记者,说他(她)们的报道完全失实? 胡欣:有的。不过这是很久以前的事了。事情是这样的:一个足球运动员被控受贿,故意不进球,好让另一队赢球。我们去采访了他。他否认接受了贿赂,但我们怀疑他(的说法)。于是,我们安排这名球员和被认为向他行贿的人一起接受采访。当我们看到他们在一起时,我们从足球运动员的肢体语言上猜到他没有说真话。于是我们写了一篇文章,暗示该足球运动员有罪。这事有些为难,因为如果我们错了, 这个足球运动员就可以向我们索要赔偿。他竭力阻止我们发表这篇文章,但后来证实我们是正确的。 周阳:哇!那是真正的独家新闻啊!现在我期盼着我(当记者)的首次任务。说不定我也会搞到独家新闻呢! 胡欣:也许你会的。很难说。 Ⅰ.Match each section with their main ideas according to the duties of a journalist. 1.Section 1 A.to protect a story from accusations 2.Section 2 B.to get an accurate story 3.Section 3 C.to work in a team 答案 1.C 2.B 3.A Ⅱ.Fill in the blanks with only one word according to the text.

Ⅳ.阅读理解 A Bad news sells.If it bleeds,it leads.No news is good news,and good news is no news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways,researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts,scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories. “The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger,a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling.But when you share a story with your friends,you care a lot more how they react.You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.” Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails,Web posts and reviews,face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的),but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility,Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories:thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles.He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others. Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny,or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety,but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other,and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article,the more likely it was to be shared,as Dr.Berger explains in his new book,“Contagious:Why Things Catch On.” 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。在晚间广播或者早报上,不好的新闻有卖点,流血的新闻占头条。但是研究表明,在电子邮件或者网络新闻中,人们更喜欢有积极意义或者有趣的新闻。 1.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

The job of series producer is very complex (复杂的).For Frozen Planet,a seven-part series that explores what life is like on the North and South Poles,Berlowitz had to decide when and where to film.She also had to decide how to tell the story.Every day,she helped set up the cameras,which can take hours.With the crew (工作人员),she often spent hours quietly looking or waiting for animals.She talked about the day the crew finally found a polar bear and her cubs(幼崽). “A mother polar bear was having a hard time finding food for her cubs.But the little cubs were playing,which made her hunt difficult.I was crying with laughter when she put one of the little cubs in a hole so she could hunt.I thought,this is what mothers do!” Berlowitz is one of very few series women producers.She hopes more women will become producers in the future.She said:“As producers,you do not have to be very physically strong,but you have to be happy to go to extreme areas.” Berlowitz enjoys seeing new parts of the world and filming things many people have never seen before.But the best part of her work is hearing from the people who watch her documentaries. “I got a wonderful email from an eleven-year-old girl from Iran.She was so excited that women do jobs like mine.She wants to try and follow my example.She wrote me a beautiful poem,which was about the polar bear film.It made me cry with joy,” she said. 【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了女性电视制片人Berlowitz。 5.What can we learn about Berlowitz’s work?

否定意义副连词,位于句首须倒装; so和such放句首,引起主谓要倒装; not only开头句,前一分句须倒装; had,were,should虚拟句,省略if半倒装。 Ⅰ.用倒装结构完成句子 1.There__goes the last bus. 末班公共汽车来了。 2.Away__went the runners. 赛跑选手们跑远了。 3.Such__great__progress__did__he__make that he was praised. 他取得了如此大的进步以至于受到了表扬。 4.So__excited__was__I that I couldn’t wait to try wearing them. 我太激动了,迫不及待地想试穿它。 5.No sooner had__I__entered the office than the phone rang. 我刚进办公室电话铃就响了。 6.Sitting__in__front__of__the__house__is a little girl,who is my little sister. 一个小女孩坐在房子的前面,她是我的妹妹。 7.Only__in__this__way__can__people from all over the world communicate easily and effectively. 只有通过这种方式,来自全世界的人们才能轻松、有效地交流。 8.Not__until__the__river__was__seriously__polluted__did the local government realize the problem. 直到河水被严重污染了,当地政府才意识到这个问题。 Ⅱ.把下面句子改为倒装句 1.A picture is hanging on the wall. →On__the__wall__is__hanging__a__picture. 2.The speaker sat in the front of the lecture hall. →In__the__front__of__the__lecture__hall__sat__the__speaker. 3.Though the night air was hot,we slept deeply. →Hot__though__the__night__air__was,we__slept__deeply. 4.Suddenly the door opened and a woman rushed out. →Suddenly__the__door__opened__and__out__rushed__a__woman. 5.The days are gone when the smog happens so frequently. →Gone__are__the__days__when__the__smog__happens__so__frequently. 6.Though they tried hard,they couldn’t make her change her mind. →Hard__though__they__tried,they__couldn’t__make__her__change__her__mind. 7.She has never seen anybody play tennis so well before. →Never__before__has__she__seen__anybody__play__tennis__so__well. 8.He realized it was the same place he’d been in last year only when he arrived. →Only__when__he__arrived__did__he__realize__it__was__the__same__place__he’d__been__in__last__year. 9.She was so brave that she faced the difficulty bravely. →So__brave__was__she__that__she__faced__the__difficulty__bravely. 10.I did not understand the true state of the affairs until I read your letter. →Not__until__I__read__your__letter__did__I__understand__the__true__state__of__the__affairs.Part Ⅲ Learning about Language & Using Language Ⅰ.重点单词 1.housewife n.家庭主妇 2.crime n.罪行;犯罪 3.department n.部门;部;处;系 4.polish vt.擦亮;磨光;润色 5.process vt.加工;处理 n.过程;程序;步骤 6.edition n.版(本);版次→edit v.编辑→editor n.编辑 7.accurate adj.精确的;正确的→accurately adv.精确地 8.chief adj.主要的;首席的→chiefly adv.首先;首要地 9.appointment n.约会,任命→appoint vt.任命,委派;约定→appointed adj.指定的 10.senior adj.& n.年长的;高年级的;年长者→junior adj.& n.年少的;年少者 11.approve vt.赞成;认可;批准→approval n.赞成;批准 Ⅱ.核心短语 1.get__absorbed__in 致力于 2.defend...against... 保护……不受…… 3.begin__with 以……开始 4.ahead__of 在……前面 5.pass sth on to 把……传递给…… 6.last of all 最后 7.be happy with 对……满意 8.be supposed to 应该 Ⅲ.经典句式 1.Although he realized the man had__been__lying,Zhou Yang knew he must not accuse him directly. 尽管他知道那个人一直在撒谎,但周阳明白他绝不能直接指责那个人。 2.Then as__the__article__was__going__to__be__written in English Zhou Yang also took a copy to the native speaker employed by the newspaper to polish the style. 因为这篇文章要用英文来写,所以周阳拿了一份稿子给一位母语为英语的外国雇员,请她对语言风格进行润饰。 1.联想记单词:由house组成的合成名词 housewife家庭主妇 housekeeper主妇;女管家 housework家务活 2.派生词:名词后缀:-ment,-al ①depart n.分支→department n.部门;部;处;系 ②appoint vt.委任;指定→appointment n.约会;任命 ③approve vt.& vi.赞成;认可;批准→approval n.赞成;同意 阅读清障 ①editor/'edItə/n.编辑 ②get...ready把……准备好 ③edition/I'dIʃn/n.版(本);版次 ④ahead of在……前面 ahead of time 提前 ⑤department/dI'pɑːtmənt/n.部门,部,处,系 ⑥set to work开始工作。与其意义相近的短语有: get down to workset about workingset out to work ⑦task/tɑːsk/n.工作,任务 ※Although在此引导让步状语从句。 ⑧accurate/'ækjʊrət/adj.精确的;正确的 ※“特殊疑问词+不定式”结构作knew的宾语。 ⑨teach sb to do sth教某人做某事 ※who引导定语从句,修饰The first person。 ⑩senior/'siːnIə/adj.年长的;高年级的;高级的 be senior to比……年长 ⑪check/tʃek/v.检查,核查,检验 ⑫copy-editor文字编辑 ⑬main headline主标题 ⑭smaller heading副标题 ※as...English为原因状语从句。 ⑮polish/'pɒlIʃ/vt.擦亮;磨光;润色 ※过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰the native speaker。动词不定式短语作目的状语。 ⑯front page article头版文章 ⑰chief/tʃiːf/adj.主要的;首席的 n.首领;长官 chief editor主编 ⑱approve/ə'pruːv/vt.赞成;认可 ※sure后接省略that的宾语从句。 ⑲excitedly/Ik'saItIdli/adv.兴奋地 ⑳work on从事;忙于。本文中可译作“编排”。 ○21set v.确定,决定;放,置;以……为……设置背景;(日、月)落下;为……谱曲;排版。本文中意为“确定;编排完毕”。 ※until...set为时间状语从句。 ○22process/'prəʊses/vt.加工;处理 n.过程;程序;步骤 ○23negative/'neɡətIv/n.底片;否定 adj.否定的;消极的 ※as引导原因状语从句。 ※when引导时间状语从句。 ○24whisper/'wIspə(r)/v.& n.耳语,低语 in whispers低声地 ※there...news为宾语从句,省略了引导词that。 原文呈现 GETTING THE “SCOOP” “Quick,”said the editor①.“Get that story ready②.We need it in this edition③ to be ahead of④ the other newspapers.This is a scoop.”Zhou Yang had just come back into the office after an interview with a famous film star.“Did he really do that?”asked someone from the International News Department ⑤.“Yes,I’m afraid he did,”Zhou Yang answered.He set to work⑥.

It was an easy job since I’ve been in the editorial business for fourteen years.I worked all week with untiring pleasure and waited a day to see whether my effort was going to attract any notice.As I went to the office in the morning,a group of men stood outside,watching me with interest,and I heard one or two of them say:“That’s him!” I was naturally pleased. After a while,an old gentleman entered my office and asked me,“Are you the new editor?” I said I was. “Have you ever edited an agricultural paper before?” “No,” I said.“This is my first try.” “I’d like to read you this:‘Turnips(大头菜)should never be pulled;it injures them.It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree.’” “Now,what do you think of that?” “I think it is good.Every year millions and millions of turnips are damaged by being pulled.If they had sent a boy up to shake the tree...” “Shake your grandmother!Turnips don’t grow on trees!” “Oh,they don’t?Well,who said they did?The language was intended to be figurative(比喻的).” Then this old person tore his paper into pieces,and went out. Pretty soon after this,the editor came in,looking sad and confused. He said,“What put it into your head that you could edit a paper of this nature?You talk of the moulting(换羽毛)season for cows;and you say that clams(蛤蜊)will lie quiet if music were played to them.Nonsense!Clams always lie quiet and they care nothing whatever about music.Ah,heavens and earth,friend!Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t know anything about agriculture?” 【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者接下一份农业报代理编辑的工作,并编出一份让人啼笑皆非的报纸的经历。 1.How did the author feel at the first sight of the men?

It was an easy job since I’ve been in the editorial business for fourteen years.I worked all week with untiring pleasure and waited a day to see whether my effort was going to attract any notice.As I went to the office in the morning,a group of men stood outside,watching me with interest,and I heard one or two of them say:“That’s him!” I was naturally pleased. After a while,an old gentleman entered my office and asked me,“Are you the new editor?” I said I was. “Have you ever edited an agricultural paper before?” “No,” I said.“This is my first try.” “I’d like to read you this:‘Turnips(大头菜)should never be pulled;it injures them.It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree.’” “Now,what do you think of that?” “I think it is good.Every year millions and millions of turnips are damaged by being pulled.If they had sent a boy up to shake the tree...” “Shake your grandmother!Turnips don’t grow on trees!” “Oh,they don’t?Well,who said they did?The language was intended to be figurative(比喻的).” Then this old person tore his paper into pieces,and went out. Pretty soon after this,the editor came in,looking sad and confused. He said,“What put it into your head that you could edit a paper of this nature?You talk of the moulting(换羽毛)season for cows;and you say that clams(蛤蜊)will lie quiet if music were played to them.Nonsense!Clams always lie quiet and they care nothing whatever about music.Ah,heavens and earth,friend!Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t know anything about agriculture?” 【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者接下一份农业报代理编辑的工作,并编出一份让人啼笑皆非的报纸的经历。 1.How did the author feel at the first sight of the men?

Most people only read the sports pages, the advice or the gossip columns, the comics,and perhaps the classified advertisements.Most people don’t take time to read real news. Newspapers attempt to catch the reader’s interest with pictures and exciting headlines.These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper.The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper.This is why editors always look for a good first page story and a headline to make them stop and look.If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps they will go on to read the front page. However, they may read the headlines, but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper any more.They say they get the news on television now.More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper.What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you think it is easier to get news from television? Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there were no news? 【语篇解读】 现如今网络的发展对纸质报纸的冲击很大。本文作者呼吁大家更多地关注报纸。 25.According to the passage, newspapers are ________. A.more popular today B.less popular today C.as popular as before D.getting more and more popular 答案 B [细节理解题。关键是理解文章的第一句话,由此可知报纸的地位已不如从前。] 26.According to the author, which of the following newspapers will most probably attract the reader’s attention? A.The ones with interesting pictures and exciting headlines on the front page. B.The ones with sports news on the front page. C.The ones with classified ads on the front page. D.The ones with gossip columns on the front page. 答案 A [推理判断题。由第一段第五句可知,新闻往往用一些图片和令人感兴趣的标题来吸引读者注意。] 27.According to the passage, most people read all of the following EXCEPT ________. A.the sports page B.comics C.advertisements D.real news 答案 D [细节理解题。根据文章第一段的第三、四句可以找到答案。] 28.The author’s attitude towards newspapers is ________. A.sympathetic B.critical C.negative D.undetermined 答案 A [作者态度题。由文章的第一句话可知,作者对报纸今非昔比的状况有点感慨,作者认为报纸应该受到人们更多的关注。] C Many people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions.Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication.This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say.When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice.Responsibility is the name of the game. “People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept the responsibility for the relationship,”said a social worker,“and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document,the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously.Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature.The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply. There are people who wish to remain anonymous(匿名的) for various reasons.Multi-billionaire Mr King donates generously to charity several times a year.He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news.In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity.Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime. Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved.We all have a name.It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation.We all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honor what we say. 【语篇解读】 在报刊上发表文章要写上自己的名字,这个名字不简单,它有很多意义,首先你要对你说的话负责,其次你对发表的内容有所有权。但名字在各种场合的签与不签意义不同。 29.What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game.”? A.Writers need to provide their personal information in the game. B.Publication must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number. C.Writers should be responsible for their names. D.Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say. 答案 D [细节理解题。根据第一段的This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say.可知,作者对他们说的话要负责,即为D项表述的意思。] 30.Some people don’t want their names known because they are ________. A.hesitant to make a donation B.unwilling to draw public attention C.afraid of an accusation D.ready for involvement 答案 B [细节理解题。根据第三段的He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news.可知,有些人匿名把钱捐给慈善机构,是不想引起公众的关注,这和B项的表述一致。] 31.The passage is mainly about ________. A.honor and writers B.identity and signature C.signature and responsibility D.anonymity and signature 答案 C [主旨大意题。整篇文章围绕名字和责任展开,投稿需要署名,签文件和合同需要签名,名字就意味着责任。] D Making it to the Scripps National Spelling Bee (a spelling competition) is an amazing achievement for any kid, but for 11-year-old Neil Maes, being born deaf made his journey especially unlikely. After receiving cochlear implants (人工耳蜗)in both ears as a baby, he had to train his brain to understand spoken words.It took countless hours of speech therapy (疗法). “We didn’t even know that he’d be able to talk,”said his mother, Christy Maes. Now the soft-spoken kid from Belton, South Carolina is officially one of the nation’s top young spellers.He earned the right to take the stage in the final rounds of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Neil’s parents have always given him a tip,coaching him to always ask the pronouncer for the meaning of a word,so that he can be sure he heard it correctly.Most contestants do this anyway. “He’s able to spell very difficult words.You tell him,‘Spell this word,’and he’s able to actually imagine what that sounds like in his head and spell the word.It’s actually quite impressive,”said Dr.Michael Hoa,who performed Neil’s cochlear implantation.“There’s a lot that goes into training your brain to do that.” Neil’s parents didn’t know he was taking part in a spelling bee with his third-grade class until he came home and told them he had won.He made it all the way to his regional(地区的)bee that year,finishing second.Now a naturally shy fifth-grader,Neil is already worn out from the busy bee-week schedule,but he seems happy. “Our main hope out of all of this was to encourage people that are going to be facing what we had to face,”Christy said. But Neil said coming to the bee has motivated (激发)him to study even harder,so he can return next year. “It’s just fun and I want to do it again,” Neil said. 【语篇解读】 本文是一则新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一名失聪儿童参加拼字比赛的故事。 32.What makes it difficult for Neil to enter the competition? A.He is naturally shy. B.He is unable to talk. C.He has a hearing disability. D.He is undergoing medical treatment. 答案 C [细节理解题。根据第一段中的for 11-year-old Neil Maes,being born deaf made his journey especially unlikely可知,由于Neil天生失聪,因此参加拼字比赛对他来说显得尤其艰难。] 33.What does the underlined word “it” (in Para.5) refer to? A.The tip from Neil’s parents. B.The coach’s pronunciation. C.The meaning. D.The word. 答案 D [篇章结构题。根据上文内容可知,Neil是一名有听力障碍的孩子,因此在参加比赛时,父母让他每次都请求考官给出单词的定义,这样便于Neil核实自己是否听准了所要拼写的单词。] 34.What did Michael think of Neil? A.He’s amazing. B.He’s very lucky. C.He should study harder.
