Ⅴ.阅读理解
If there is one thing I’m sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.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 coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though.It’s already happening in areas that many directly affect our lives,like genetic(基因) engineering.In the future,I think there will be more coverage 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.
It’s 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,I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspapers 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 that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn’t happened.What it read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet,it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

3.What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?

A.newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B.newspapers will stay with us together with other media

9.B [sth. need/want/require doing/to be done“某事需要被……”;have sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”。]
10.C [句意为:“不知我能否用一下您的电话?”“抱歉,我的电话坏了。” C项符合题意。]
Ⅴ.1.D [主旨大意题。从短文第一句所说的一百年后人们仍要读报,到后面短文讲到报纸跟人们生活的关系,报纸的形式和内容,可归纳出本文的主题为“报纸的未来”。由第二段第二句可知,A项中的事件只是报纸的一些基本元素;而B项只是未来可能出现的,并不是作者的观点。]
2.C [细节理解题。根据短文第二段中“I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though.”可推知,依据作者观点,报纸在未来将会报道更多的科学研究。]
3.D [推理判断题。从短文第三段最后一句可推知,你自己的报纸会以你感兴趣的事情为主。]
4.B [推理判断题。根据短文最后一段可推知,报纸将与其他媒体共存。]
5.A [词义猜测题。作者上一句说人们错误地认为各种不同的媒体相互竞争,而下一句作者又说“They actually feed off each other.”,我们可推知feed off与depend on意思相近。]
