At one time this was the only way people could find what was happening elsewhere. In Britain during the nineteenth century The Thunderer, as The Times is today, was called the only way of discovering the news. There were no telephones, TVs, mobile phones, radios, computers or the Internet. In fact in the nineteenth century the career of a journalist was a very important one. That was why the newspaper was called The Thunderer because it used to fight for issues that it felt were important. It put pressure on the leaders of the government by “thundering” at them to change laws into ones that were considered to be a benefit to ordinary people.Since the arrival of electricity all this has changed. There are now telephones, TVs, mobile phones, radios, computers and the Internet from which people can get all or any news they are interested in. So it is no wonder that the percentage of people reading newspapers has fallen in Britain from 59% in 1992 to 45% in 2020. This is very unfotunate because newspapers can fulfil a special role. Readers rely on newspapers to provide detailed background information and analysis, which television and radio newscasts rarely offer. Newspapers not only inform readers that an event happened, but also help readers understand what led up to the event and how it will affect the world around them.But is the situation all gloom(忧愁)and despair? What about the Internet? Many newspapers are seeing the Internet as an opportunity rather than a disadvantage. They have published their newspapers online and sometimes offered their readers the news free. In return they build up reader loyalty(忠诚)and perhaps persuade some to buy the newspaper sometimes. But is this good for printed newspapers? Will they finally be replaced entirely by Internet newspapers? No one can say what will happen in the future. But certainly the most popular printed newspapers in Britain are also those that are most widely read on the Internet. So perhaps the future for journalists is not as serious as it might appear. Whether in print or on the Internet their words are being read and their opinions appreciated. So whatever the medium it seems the newspaper is here to stay.1. Which of the following can provide readers with details of the events covered?A. Television newscasts.B. Telephones.C. Radio programmes.D. Newspapers.2. Whats the main reason why fewer people read printed newspapers today than before in Britain?A. People dont enjoy reading newspapers any more.B. Mobile phones and computers can offer more detailed information.C. The arrival of electricity has brought about many new inventions, from which people can get news.D. A printed newspaper is not the best medium for people to get news nowadays.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph according to the writer?A. The role of a newspaper is more important than its form.B. An e-newspaper is more important than a printed one.C. A printed newspaper is more important than an e-newspaper.D. The circulation of a newspaper is more important than its form.4. What can we know about The Thunderer from the passage?A. It was the leading newspaper in Britain in the 19th century.B. It reported everything that happened in the 19th century.C. The Times and The Thunderer were two major newspapers in Britain in the 19th century.D. To the government leaders, it was just like a crash of thunder, urging them to make new laws beneficial to ordinary people.5. What effect can the Internet have on the printed newspaper?A. The Internet newspaper will totally replace the printed newspaper.B. Its certain that journalists will be out of work in the near future.C. Many printed newspapers have taken advantage of the Internet to win over more readers.D. Many printed newspapers have found more disadvantages than advantages of the Internet.BAs a journalist, a writer aims to collect all of the facts about an event or incident and present them as truthfully and factually as possible. But sometimes leading members of the government or other high-ranking officials dont want the truth to be told. Journalism can be a risky and sometimes even dangerous profession. Sometimes journalists risk their lives in order to report an important story. At other times, they risk going to jail rather than reveal (透露) one of their sources of information.Unfortunately, many journalists are killed every year just for doing their jobs. Over thirty reporters were killed last year alone. These people asked questions, researched records and reported on the truths they found. The following stories are examples of the dangers journalists face around the world.In the country of Haiti, a radio talk show host was murdered after allowing members of a political opposition party to express their ideas on his radio show. He was killed by a mob of people holding machetes(大砍刀).The editor of a weekly newspaper in Mexico was shot in the head shortly after he reported a story that revealed something corrupt about the federal government. He had reported that local politicians were using drug trafficking money to fund their elections.In the Ukraine, a television show host was attacked and beaten with baseball bats by people who didnt like the content of his TV show. His last show was about government corruption.Good journalists must be brave. Other people might do everything possible to avoid exposing government corruption. But good journalists are driven to make the community more aware of the truth and to fight for freedom.Sometimes, these courageous journalists are successful in bringing about social changes. Other times, in many countries all over the world, journalists who dare to risk doing their job are silenced. But by retelling their stories, we can continue their fight for freedom.6. A good journalist should have the following qualities except _.A. being courageous enoughB. covering the events factuallyC. concealing the government corruptionD. revealing the private life affairs of a pop star7. According to the passage what might NOT happen to a journalist if he tells the truth?A. Being appreciated by his editor-in-chief.B. Being killed.C. Being promoted by the government leaders.D. Being put into jail.8. What can we infer from the passage?A. Some journalists can bring about social changes.B. Journalists are often under great pressure when reporting government corruption.C. All journalists report stories as they really are.D. The radio talk show host in Haiti is a powerful person.9. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Journalists Fight for NewsB. Journalism: A Dangerous Job?C. Reveal Some Untold StoriesD. Whats the Goal of a Journalist?10. Whats the function of the examples mentioned in the passage?A. To support the writers opinion that journalism can be a dangerous profession.B. To prove few journalists are courageous enough to do their jobs.C. To reveal a fact that a journalist will be killed if he does not tell the truth.D. To reveal a fact that some journalists are bribed by local politicians.COn my planet, nobody needs to die. It was only ten years ago that scientists here on Xeron developed technology to bring the dead back to life. That does sound strange, doesnt it? But of course these dead “people” are not made of flesh and blood but celluloid(假象牙) and computer chips. The scientists found that because our population was declining people were becoming lonely in their small settlements. So they set to work to solve the problem. After twenty years of dedication they succeeded. They discovered that “people” could be copied from old home movies. The “person” is combined with computer records about him or her to create a virtual “relative”. The family can chat and live with him or her. Once a family takes up the offer of a constant companion, their upkeep is very cheap. He or she does not need food or clothes, is never ill and does not need haircuts or new shoes.This project has been such a success that the scientists are now working on ways to bring back “people” who died long ago so that they can take on new roles. In 2030 they hope to be able to reproduce some of the great people of the 20th century: perhaps even Karl Marx, Albert Einstein, or Chairman Mao.So if you are lonely, find an old home movies and choose the relative you would like to bring back to life. Then call Xeron 7257 and one of our representatives will call you back. Prices are very reasonable.

How are these dead “people” different from us?A. They are made of flesh and blood.B. They are made of celluloid and computer chips.C. They are made of flesh and celluloid.D. They are made of blood and computer chips.12. What is NOT true about the copied “people” ?A. Their upkeep is very expensive.B. They dont need food or clothes.C. They are never sick.D. They dont need haircuts or new shoes.13. What is the reason for scientists to bring great minds back to life?A. So that they can take now roles.B. Because scientists want to show off their talents.C. Because people need them.D. So that they can make the same contribution to society.14.
