It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds(秒). 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(编辑) decide which news stories to print (印刷)? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report new 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 (完全地) 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 (事件) 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.（1）According (根据) 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 oh 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.（2）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 country（3）To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about? A . Two.B . Three.C . Five.D . Six.（4）According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV? A . You often play football with your friends after school.B . Your teacher has got a cold.C . A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasnt been caught.D . The bike in the front of your house is lost.（5）Which of the following is Not True of this passage? A . News stories on the front page of every country are always the same.B . People like to read interesting and unusual news.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.3. （8分）阅读理解Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a territory is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.（1）Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually_. A . an expression of happinessB . a way of warningC . an expression of angerD . a way of greeting（2）What does the underlined word “territory mean? A . A place where families of other species are not acceptedB . A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voiceC . An area for which birds fight against each otherD . An area which a bird considers to be its own（3）Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A . Because they want to invite more friendsB . Because their singing helps frighten outsiders awayC . Because they want to find outsiders aroundD . Because their singing helps get rid of their fears（4）How does the writer explain birds singing? A . By comparing birds with human beingsB . By reporting experiment resultsC . By describing birds daily lifeD . By telling a birds story4. （8分）根据短文内容, 选择正确答案。EHave you ever seen the movie Dragonball Evolution?
