It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives the big political stories, the reports of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more reports of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more reports of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, Im pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read sports and international news, etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw（预见） that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, its never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.61. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get News B. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspaper62. In the writers opinion, in the future, _.A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will cover more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV63. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?A. Sports and international news. B. A menu of important news.C. The most important news. D. What you are interested in.64. From the passage, we can infer _.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspaperD. the writer believe some media will die out65. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _.A. depend onB. compete withC. fight with D. kill off CLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in listening before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation (合作)usually shown by the children. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to some difficulties. People agree that children enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises particularly mean delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(模仿) leads on to deliberate(有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then appears as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at seven months, of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed(除去) as a meaning-less sound simply because he also uses it at another time for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.66. Before children start speaking _.A. they need equal amount of listeningB. they need different amounts of listeningC. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obey spoken instructionsD. they cant understand and obey the adults oral instructions67. Children who start speaking late _.A. may have problems with their listeningB. probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC. usually pay close attention to what they hearD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly68. A babys first noises are _.A. an expression of his moods and feelingsB. an early form of languageC. a sign that he means to tell you somethingD. an imitation of the speech of adults69. The problem of deciding at what point a baby imitations can be considered as speech _.A. is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB. is not especially important because the changeover takes place graduallyC. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageD. is one that should be completely ignored(忽略) because childrens use of words is of-ten meaningless70 The speaker implies _.A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating DDriving Offense Points SystemWhat is Driving Offense Points System?After the introduction of the system, certain traffic offences will earn the driver points besides other punishment.
