family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day.Some people subscribe(订阅)to as many as two or three newspapers.But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago,news of important happeningsbattles lost and won,kings or rulers overthrown(推翻)or killedtook months and even years to travel from one country to another.The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate.Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world,newspapers give us a lot of other useful information.There are weather reports,radios,television and film guides,book reviews,stories and,of course,advertisements.The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products.They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space,but it is worth the money,for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country.For those who produce newspapers,advertisements are also very important.Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.Newspapers often have information on gardening,cooking and fashion as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons(漫画).21、What is the text about?AAdvertisements are the most important part in newspapers.BIt introduces newspapers past and today and its contents.CThere is a lot of useful information on newspapers.DPeople like newspapers very much.22、The habit of reading newspapers is _.Auncommon in the world Bnot popular in U.S.A.Cwidespread in the world Dfound among a few families23、The section on jokes and cartoons is _.Aread only by children Bof no value Cnot helpful Dread by many peopleText 2New York City is not America.Thats what American friends are sure to you when you arrive.You must see Boston,visit Niagara Falls,go to Virginia,fly down to Florida,and so on;but first,of course,you will want to see New York.It is not the capital city of the United States(that is Washington,D.C.,where the President lives)or even the capital city of New York State(that is Albany),but many people call it the greatest city on earth.The five parts,or boroughs,of New York City are Manhattan,Queen,Bronz,Richmond and Brooklyn.Although Manhattan is not all of New York,it is the heart of the city.It is an island,which is only about 13 miles long and 2 miles wide.From the air its shape looks like a long finger,and from the sea its just like the picture we all know.Those tall,straight buildingsthe skyscraperspacked so close together on that island of rocks are sometimes seen in the distance through a veil of early morning mist.You have imagined it so often that now its difficult to believe this beautiful sight is real,and unless your heart is as hard as a stone,excitement will make it beat a little faster.Perhaps greatest,tallest,longest,biggest,brightest,are words you will find most often in the city guide books.24、How many places in America are mentioned in this passage besides New York City?A6.B4.C7.D5.25、Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?AManhattan is the centre of New York City.第 3 页 共 7 页 BNew York City is made up of five parts.CNew York looks like a long finger from the air.DManhattan is an island.26、In the second paragraph,excitement will make it beat a little faster here it refers to _.Athis beautiful sight Byou Cyour heart DNew York CityText 3Pepys and his wife Jane had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday,September 2nd,1666.They were up very late on the Saturday evening,getting everything ready for the next day,and while they were busy they saw the glow(微弱的光)of a fire start in the sky.By 3 oclock on the Sunday morning,its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch it.Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it.It seemed fairly far away,and after a time he went back to bed.When he got up in the morning,it looked,though the fire was dying down,as though he could still see some flames.So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.While he was doing this,Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one;hundreds of houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning.Pepys went out to see for himself.He went to the Tower of London and climbed upon a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening.From there,Pepys could see that it was,indeed,a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning.The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a bakers shop in Pudding Lane(小巷);the bakers house had caught fire from the over-heated oven(烤箱)and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane.So the Great Fire of London,a fire that lasted nearly five days,destroyed most of the old city and ended,as it is said,at Pie Corner.27、What is the passage about?AThe Great Fire of London.BWho was the first to discover the fire.CWhat Pepys was doing during the fire.DThe losses caused by the fire.28、They were up very late because _.Ait was Sunday morning Bthey were not very sleepy Cthey were preparing for the dinner Dthey saw the great fire start29、In the sentence Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown.slip on means _.Ato be wearing Bto be pushing Cto take off Dto put on30、Why did the flames spread quickly?AThe oven became very hot.BThe houses were close together.CThe baker did nothing to stop it.DThe bakers house was burning quickly.第二节第二节 补全文章补全文章根据短文内容，从短文后的选项后选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。Kids with special needs refer to any kid who might need extra help because of a
