You 11 get up and turn on the computer ewspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You 11 even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based tnedia and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.Most of the technology is available(可用的) now, but convincing(说服) more people that they don t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism.Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next gegeration realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial(财经的) interests in the paper industry.TS What is the best title for this passage?A. Computer Newspapers Are Well LikedB. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC. Newspapers Are out of FashionD. New Communication Technology(2)It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers, becauseA. it is technologically impossible nowB. computer newspapers are too expensiveC. there is strong resistance from both the general population and professional journalistsD. traditional newspapers are easy to read(3)Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A. They are cheaper than traditional newspapers.B. They are very convenient to use.C. You can get more information from them quickly.D. You can easily save information for future use.(4)Journalists are not, eager to accept computer newspapers, becauseA. they don t know how to use computersB. they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC. they think the new technology is badD. they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers(5)We can infer from the passage that _A. all technological changes are goodB. all technologies will eventually replace old onesC. new technologies will eventually replace old onesD. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century(6)阅读Text 2，回答TSE题How far is it to the next village? the American asks a man sitting by the side of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to get to his destination( 目的地), he will politely say Just down the road. He thinks-this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling tricked. He thinks the man purposely cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well.Had conditions been turned over, the American would have felt he was cheating the driver if he had said the next town was close when he knew it was really 15 miles further on. Though, he, too, would ,be sympathetic( 同情的)to the weary driver, he would say You have a good way to go yet; it is at least 15 miles. The driver might be dsappointed, but he would know what to expect.Whether to be correct or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of different cultures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.TSThe man at The roadside tells the American it is close to the next village because_A. he is playing a trick on himB. the American expects the answerC. he doesnt know the exact distance at allD. he wants to encourage him to go further(7)We learn from this passage that AmericansA. are good at cheatingB. are polite to anybodyC. are sympathetic but honestD. have no sympathy for others(8)If you ask an American how far it is from the next village, he will _. _A. tell you the exact distance if he knows itB. tell you it is close although he knows it isn tC. say that he doesnt know and encourage you to go onD. decide whether you are tired or not, and then give you an answer(9)The short passage advises us toA. be polite but honest to foreignersB. learn customs of different countriesC. decide whether to be polite according to different culturesD. tell more truths to Americans than to people from other countries(10)阅读Text 3，回答TSE题Movies are the most popular form of entertainment( 娱乐 ) for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours,they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic and beautiful than in real life.The biggest dream factories are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year,Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often can t. People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the good guys win in the movies.TSThe Americans go to the movies mainly because they want A. to ertjoy a good storyB. to experiex;ce an exciting lifeC. to see the actors and actressesD. to escape their daily life(11)Which of the following is people s normal response to the movies they watch?A.

Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs( 亲笔签名 ). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began to learn the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and write them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of being discovered, he sent his works to England and Canada for sale.Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger can t go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals.After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General Stone Wall Jackson.For several years Miss Fanny s money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous-father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty.TSWhy did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada?A. There was a greater demand there than in America.B. There was less chance of being discovered there.C. Britain was Spring s birthplace.D. The prices were higher in England and Canada.(14)Robert Spring spent 15 yearsA. running a bookstore in PhiladelphiaB. writing letters to Miss Fanny JacksonC. as a forgerD. as a respectable seller(15)According to the passage, forgers are usually sold toA. expertsB. persons who aren t expertsC. book sellersD. owners of old books(16)Who was Miss Fanny Jackson?A. The only daughter of General Stone Wall Jackson.B. A little known girl who sold her father s letters to Robert Spring.C. Robert Spring s daughter.D. An imaginary person created by Spring.(17)阅读Text 5，回答TSE题Tired of Working in Your Country?With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we are the leader in the field of teac
