day，the news of the world reaches people by over 300 million copies of daily papers，over 400 million radio sets，and over 150 million television sets.additional news is _36_ by motion pictures，in theatres and cinemas all over the world.as more people learn what the important events of the day are，_37_ still only care for the events of their own household.nearly four hundred years ago the english writer john donne said，“no man is an island.”this _38_ is more appropriate today than it was _39_ donne lived.in short，wherever he lives，a man _40_ to some society；and we are becoming more and more aware that _41_ happens in one particular society affects，somehow，the life of mankind.newspapers have been published in the _42_ world for about four hundred years.most of the newspapers _43_ today are read in europe and north america.however，_44_ they may be read in all parts of the world，_45_ to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper _46_.electronics and automation(自动化) have made it _47_ to produce pictures and texts far more quickly than before.photographic copying doesnt _48_ to use type(铅字) and printing machines.and fewer specialists, _49_

of第三部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。aholidays are really important.many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.but holidays are expensive and，for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable.even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.for working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare.when an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year.couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday.for some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.the schools that i visit in nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment.the number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day.most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support.schools also have an important role in safeguarding childrens welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils.during the long summer holidays，much of this is missed.while teachers are holidaying in the uk，many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live.the lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.in setting out its plans for a fiveterm year，nottingham city council(委员会) is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks，with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks，each followed by a twoweek break.we believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.we acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities.however，this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.56the passage is probably written by_.aan experienced teacherba working parentcan inspired studentda city council member57it is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to_.a2 weeks b4.5 weeks c5 weeks d6 weeks58the plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students _.aobtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsbget a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in schoolcbenefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentdhave more school days to receive free school meals59it can be inferred from the passage that_.aworking parents can enjoy a fiveweek break to care for their childrenbthe suggested plans for a fiveterm school year can hardly be carried outcthe long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “down time”dsome school staff will say “no” to the plans for a shorter summer holidaybblind imitation (模仿) is selfdestruction.to those who do not recognize their unique worth，imitation appears attractive；to those who know their strength，imitation is unacceptable.in the early stages of skill or character development，imitation is helpful.when i first learned to cook，i used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.but soon i grew bored.why follow someone elses way of cooking when i could create my own？imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle；they help you get going，but once you find your own balance，you fly faster and farther without relying on them.in daily life，imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models.if，as a child，you observed people whose lives were bad，you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.if you do not make strong choices for yourself，you will get the results of the weak choices of others.in the field of entertainment，our culture glorifies celebrities.those stars look great on screen.but when they step off screen，their personal lives may be disastrous.if you are going to follow someone，focus on their talent，not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.think of the movies，books，teachers，and friends that have affected you most deeply.they touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration，not desperation.the world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them，but by those who do what has been done inside them.creative people have an endless resource of ideas.the problem a creator faces is not running out of material；it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.study your role models，accept the gifts they have given，and leave behind what does not serve you.then you can say，“i stand on the shoulders of my ancestors tragedies and declare victory，and know that they are cheering me on.”60imitation proves useful when you _.aknow you are uniqueblose the balance of lifecbegin to learn something newdget tired of routine practice61to avoid the bad result of imitation，we should _.aforget daily fear and painbchoose the right examplecask others for decisionsdstay away from stars62according to the author，the world moves on because of those who are _.adesperate to influence others with their knowledgebready to turn their original ideas into realityceager to discover what their ancestors diddwilling to accept others ideas63what is the authors purpose in writing this passage?ato highlight the importance of creativity.bto criticize the characters of role models.cto compare imitation with creation.dto explain the meaning of success.cnewspapers in great britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying news.there are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere，both at home and abroad.there are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.the london newspaper that is best known outside great britain is probably the times.it began in 1785，and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news.it calls itself an independent paper，which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party.its leading articles give the opinions of the editors，not those of the owners of the paper.letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper.these parts of the times are always interesting.most of the letters are serious subjects.but from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious，perhaps on a new fashion of dress，or the bad manners of the young people，compared with the manners of thirty years ago.64if you want to get pleasure，please buy yourself _.aa serious newspaper ba foreign newspapercan independent paper da popular newspaper65the times is an independent paper because _.ait supports no political partiesbit is not controlled by the british governmentcit gives special support to all the political partiesdthe editors opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper66the underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “_”aimprovebcompete with each othercare differentdkeep in touch with each other67the writer tells us _ in this passage.aall kinds of newspapers in britainball kinds of news in english paperschow the times is liked by peopledwhy the times is wellknownda year after graduation，i was offered a position teaching a writing class.teaching was a profession i had never seriously considered，though several of my stories had been published.i accepted the job without hesitation，as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of mr.davis.my father went by the same name，and i liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused.“wait a minute，”someone might say，“are you talking about mr.davis the retired man，or mr.davis the respectable scholar？”the position was offered at the last minute，and i was given two weeks to prepare，a period i spent searching for briefcase(公文包) and standing before my fulllength mirror，repeating the words，“hello，class.im mr.davis.”sometimes i would give myself an aggressive voice.sometimes i would sound experienced.but when the day eventually came，my nerves kicked in and the true mr.davis was there.i sounded not like a thoughtful professor，but rather a 12yearold boy.i arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.i had cut them myself out of orange
