But recently big changes have seen these traditional publications try to fit the modern world. After 217 years, The Times 泰晤士报 has changed its size to become much smaller. In fact, the paper has cut its size in half from a broadsheet to tabloid (小报). In Britain the newspaper market is divided between the larger broadsheets and the smaller tabloids. These terms refer to the size of the papers pages but there is also a clear difference in content. Broadsheets such as The Times, the Guardian 卫报 and Daily Telegraph 每日电讯报 are serious papers. They cover a broad range of political, economic and international issues. Their stories are also reasonably long and use quite formal language. Tabloids have far more stories about less serious issues such as celebrities love lives. Their stories are shorter and use more simple language. Tabloids often have bigger pictures. Britains best-selling newspaper, the Sun, is a tabloid and has a naked (裸体的) girl on page three everyday.By changing to the size of a tabloid, The Times is following in the footsteps of a less famous broadsheet paper the Independent 独立报. It changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales increase greatly. Although both papers have switched to the smaller size the content of the papers has remained the same. They are both still serious papers. The two papers claim that people find the smaller size easier to handle when they travel to work on the bus or the train in the morning. Instead of calling the new style of their paper tabloid, the paper says its new size is “compact” (紧凑型).39. Which of the following statements can best describe broadsheets and tabloid?A.

Which of the following statements is true according to the given information?A. There are more tabloids than broadsheets in Britain at present.B. After the change, there will be no differences between The Sun and The Times.C. Although The Times has cut its size, it remains a serious paper.D. All the papers will tend to have the same style in the future.DWhere the Galapagos Islands lie today, there was once an unbroken expanse of Pacific. Then the sea began to seethe (翻滚; 翻腾) and simmer, the earths crust was pierced, and matter gushed forth continuously. Lava and scoriae (loose, cinderlike lava) piled up until one day spewing volcanoes raised peaks above the brawling sea.Many thousands of years passed before life could settle upon the cooled land. Then wind and waves brought the first hardy seed of primitive plants. After these came others, then insects, lizards, and birds. The chance that any animal would survive the trip from the South American continent more than six hundred miles away was slight; only a few hardy species came through alive. This is why there are many gaps in the animal life of the islands.Those that did reach the out-of-the-way islands developed over the ages into a number of quite peculiar forms. Because conditions in the Galapagos differed from those in their original homes, the animals had to change or perish. Only in the Galapagos are there seaweed-eating marine lizards, giant tortoises, and flightless cormorants. In fact, most of the species found in the Galapagos Islands are endemics: they exist only in the archipelago.42. What is the passage mainly about?A. The history of the archipelago.B. The birth of the Galapagos.C. Conditions of life in the islands today.D. The unique animal life of the Galapagos.43 .

It is implied in the passage that _.A. a great evolutionary process took place in the Galapagos IslandsB. only species that are endemic survive in the Galapagos Islands todayC. conditions of life in the Galapagos Islands differed from those in the animals original homesD. the plant life of the Galapagos Islands is endemic四、 单词检测46 Shanghai is one of the largest _ (商业的)cities in China.47 China is a highly c_ country48 He r _ sitting in the classroom after the examination.49 U_, the poor boy lost his life in the big fire.50 In 334 BC, he took his army, now with 42,000 men, into the Middle East and then Egypt, _(战胜)every army that stood in his path.51The climbers were _ (埋葬)under a pile of rocks. 52This could cause serious _ (损害) to the countrys economy.53Hurricanes, earthquakes, sandstorms and tornadoes are all natural d_. 54Mosquitoes are c_ of viruses.55The official led a _ (腐败的)life五、任务型阅读Automobiles will be cheaper than horses are today. Liquid-air refrigerators will keep great quantities of food fresh for long intervals. Huge forts on wheels will dash across open spaces at the speed of express trains of today. They will make what is now known as cavalry charges. Hot or cold air will be turned on from spigots to regulate the temperature of a house as we now turn on hot or cold water from spigots to regulate the temperature of a bath. Man will see around the world persons and things of all kinds will be brought within focus of cameras connected electronically with screens at the opposite ends of circuits, thousands of miles at a span. Electric currents applied to the soil will make valuable plants grow larger and faster, and will kill troublesome weeds. Rays of colored light will hasten the growth of many plants. Wireless telephone and telegraph circuits will span the world. There will be no street cars in our large cities. All hurry traffic will be below or high above the ground.These underground or overhead streets will teem with capacious automobile passenger coaches and freight wagons with cushioned wheels.Cities, therefore, will be free from all noises. Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance. Not only will it be possible for a physician
