Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People dont want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be bad news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.24. According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now? A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.C. They watch TV or read newspapers.D. They listen to the radio every day.25. The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that _.A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaperB. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperC. people can read news stories in other countriesD. people can read news stories about their own country26. According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly read in newspapers? A. You often play football with your friends after school.B. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasnt been caught.C. Your teacher has got a cold.D. The bike in front of your house is lost.27. Which of the following is Not true in this passage? A. People like to read interesting and unusual news.B. News stories on the front page of every country are always the same.C. Not only TV but also newspapers can help people to learn what is happening around the world.D. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than three hundred years. CImagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3,500, 000 tons. The waste includes bags, bottles and containersplastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents (流, 流动). The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, diminishing their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection (感染) of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, another oceanographer learnt of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.28. The first paragraph is written to .A. lead in the topic of the textB. inspire readers imaginationC. develop readers interest in TexasD. talk about reasons for water pollution29. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Increasing. B. Determining.C. Weakening. D. Reserving.30. What can we infer about the floating garbage according to the text?A. It gives rise to various diseases.B. It does great harm to sea animals.C. Causes of it still remain unknown.D. Efforts to clear it have been made.31. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To warn people about dangers of diving in the ocean.B. To explore the future of the North Pacific Ocean.C. Give advice on how to recycle waste in the ocean.D. Introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Patch.DMany people have bought insurance, either life or property, commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function.Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the pool of contributions as insurers.The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay an amount of money, which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually happens.The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.32. The underlined phrase in Para.2 most probably means_.A. money paid by the insurers B. each premiumC. money paid by all those insured D. the cost of administering insurance33. Insurance premiums do not become too high because _.A. not many people insure themselves B. premiums depend on the risk of lossesC. insurers have to be more competitiveD. insurance companies can never lose money34. According to the passage, insurance business gains profit because _.A. more and more people buy insurance B. the firms have sound managementC. the premium is increased year by year D. only a few of those insured suffer losses35. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. explain an insurance policy B. introduce insurance businessC. persuade people to be insured D. warn people of possible losses第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you have an upcoming job interview, you are probably afraid of appearing nervous during the interview.
