Homeless Washingtonians write many of the articles. The newspapers business model is based on homeless people who sell the newspaper. You can hear them call out “Street Sense for sale！” near subway entrances, lunch places and other areas around the city.The Street Sense newspaper is housed in an office in a Christian church in Washington.

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. 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 decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. However, newspapers give more information about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely 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 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.28According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?AThey carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.BThey tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.CThey watch TV or read newspapers.DThey listen to the radio every day.29The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that _.Apeople can get more about the same news story from a newspaperBpeople can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperCpeople can read news stories in other countriesDpeople can read news stories about their own country30According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?AYou often play football with your friends after school.BYour teacher has got a cold.CA tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasnt been caught.DThe bike in front of your house is lost.31Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?ANews stories on the front page of every country are always the same.BPeople like to read interesting and unusual news.CNot only TV but also newspapers can help people to learn what is happening around the world.DNewspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than two hundred years.DThe new high speed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur selfgoverning region, and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu Province, has cut train travel time by half , and now it just takes 12 hours.The improvement will benefit many families planning reunions(团圆) for Spring Festival.“For the first time, I feel home is not that far away after all，” said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.The 35yearold left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago, and he has now settled in Urumqi.The 1,776 km line, which passes through Qinghai Province and is the countrys first high speed railway built in a high altitude region, was first used on Dec 26.“We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season，” Liang said. “Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes, so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.”More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month, and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.The advantage of the new line is to improve Xinjiangs development. All passenger trains will gradually use the new line, leaving the old one to be used for goods.The line passes through areas that experience high winds, and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the bone dry sands of the Gobi Desert.The project could help China to promote its high speed railway technology abroad, said Ma Xizhang, director of the Lanzhou Xinjiang railway projects management department in Xinjiang.32How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?Aabout 12 hours.BAbout 6 hours.CAbout 18 hours. DAbout 24 hours.33Whats the main advantage of the new high speed railway?AIt takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou.BIt will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang.CAll the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals.DIt helps to improve Xinjiangs development.34From the passage we can learn _.ASome people dont feel excited about the new railway line.Bthe new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroadCthe high speed railway lines cant be built across the bone dry sandsDthe old railway lines have been destroyed.35Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe new high speed railway line is good for all chinese people to go home.BThe new high speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.CIt is now much more convenient from Urumqi to Lanzhou.DBusinessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。TV is not only a convenient and cheap service of entertainment, but also a wonderful tool of communication.

The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought into our room by Tv. On TV everything is much more living and much more real. _37_ Some people even say that life without television is not worth living.38 They think the TV viewers do nothing all days.
