local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特写) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art ,theatre, and music. a newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. a good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. what brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性),its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. but immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. for all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that days paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. for all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.51. a modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its .a. wide coverage b. uniform stylec. speed in reporting news d. popularity52. according to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the“same”newspaper is that .a. people scan for the news they are interested inb. different people prefer different newspapersc. people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsd. people have different views about what a good newspaper is53. it can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers .a. apply reading techniques skillfullyb. jump from one newspaper to anotherc. appreciate the variety of a newspaperd. usually read a newspaper selectively54. a good newspaper offers“a variety”to readers because .a. it tries to serve different readersb. it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityc. readers are difficult to pleased. readers like to read different newspaper.55. the best title for this passage would be“ ”a. the importance of newspaper topicalityb. the characteristics of a good newspaperc. the variety of a good newspaperd. some suggestions on how to read a newspaper参考答案 51-55 b a d a b*结束 (1)the world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. one of the biggest problems is pollution. to pollute means to make things dirty. pollution comes in many ways. we see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.man has been polluting the earth. the more people, the more pollution. many years ago, the problem was not so

whole world.air pollution is still the most serious. its bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. noise pollution makes us angry more easily.many countries are making rules to fight pollution. they stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. pollution by so2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. it is caused by heavy traffic. we are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air

means(现在的交通运输工具和沟通工具的使用)，而这一切都要靠科学技术的发展，据此我们可以推出答案是b。2. c。原文的第2句告诉我们life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago(今天的生活比以前容易得多)，反过来说，以前的生活一定比今天的艰难，所以答案是c。3. b。在众多选项中，只有选项b(noise
