There are almost 2000 of them, as pared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is quite high and their views are used all over the world. Excellent newspapers like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these give detailed description of national and interrnational news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news to attract local readers.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers report news from the “exciting” and “relaxing” to the serious. They try to entertain people as well as give information, for they have to pete with the attraction of television.Just as American newspapers try to satisfy all tastes, they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try their best to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are mainly moderate(中立的). Many of these papers print materials by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to give a balanced picture.As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once exposed political scandals, for example, the Warga Affair（水门事件）.24 Which newspaper in the U.K. is national?A. Le Monde.B. Washington Post.C. New York Times.D. The Times.25. Most American newspapers attract readers by carrying_.A. national news B. local newsC. international news D. political news26. In order to win the petition with television, American newspapers have to_.A. give little information B. give serious newsC. give entertainment news D. give national news27. Most daily newspapers attract moderate Americans by_.A. printing articles by well-known journalists of di舒中高二统考英语 第3页 (共10页)fferent viewsB. supporting extremist groupsC. exposing political scandalsD. serving the country wellCPeople do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However, the phone battery may bee exhausted pletely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But its impossible to get the battery charged at the beach. What s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature. Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special beach mat called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant (防水的) and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator. Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for $150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says. “So this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”28. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.A. show great pity for people at the beachB. attract the readers interest in the subjectC. provide some key facts about mobile phonesD. prove the importance of water in hot weather29. What can we learn about the Beachill?A. It is quite unusual in appearance. B. It will stop working in the water.C. It has some function of the refrigerator. D. It functions more effectively than ordinary ones. 30. Rita Mathieu is mentioned to prove the Beachills _.A. popularityB. convenienceC. good qualityD. low price31. The text is written to _. A. tell people a new way to get a cold drink B. ask people to stop using phones at the beach C. encourage people to travel around the worldD. introduce a beach mat that can charge a phoneDWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or munity gained petence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers pared the mens mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working-at any age-is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and petence-the foundations of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward mon goals. The most petent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.”32. Vaillants words in Paragraph 2 serve as _.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to petenceC. an example for parents expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men33. Vaillants team obtained their findings by _.A. recording the boys effort in school B. evaluating the mens mental healthC. paring different sets of scores D. measuring the mens problem solving ability34. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to reactB. Having a thin edge C. Clear and definiteD. Sudden and rapid35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. petent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life. C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to ones success.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。Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever.
