21、   Journalism (新闻业) is a fast-paced industry, requiring reporters to get the facts about newsworthy events and to write about them before a deadline (截止日期). It takes some skills to do this. At the same time, news reporters must follow strict requirements and have a deep understanding of news writing.

Know what you’re going to write about. Newsworthy events can happen anytime and anywhere. So reporters need to develop a good nose for news.

Get all the facts and look at the details. Be sure to look at a story from different angle (角度). Even if you are covering a popular story or topic that others are writing about, look for an angle that will make this one yours.

Check facts to avoid mistakes. Sources may also make mistakes and some may even deceive you. It’s wise to get in touch with other sources. In a shooting incident, for example, getting the facts from the police and from both the criminal (罪犯) and victim isn’t enough. You should also interview other witnesses who may give more information about the incident. Interviewing people and getting a firsthand source on your topic can be valuable.

Start writing the news. When it comes to the body of the article, the main information should be given in the leading statement. It is often a short one, including the basics of what happened, where and when it took place, who was involved and why it’s newsworthy. These details are the main point that informs the reader. Other information about the story follows. This form allows editors to cut off the last paragraphs if there’re space limits.

Check your article for mistakes. If time permits, leave the article for a moment and then read through it again with a fresh eye. Newspaper publications usually have someone check for mistakes but keep in mind that you’re the first line of defense. Grammar mistakes are embarrassing (令人尴尬的), and some mistakes may result in a lawsuit(诉讼).

【1】What can we learn about journalism from the first paragraph?

A．It is developing fast.

B．It is very challenging.

C．It is very interesting.

D．It is popular worldwide.

【2】What does the underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Warn.

B．Assist.

C．Interest.

D．Cheat.

【3】What should a good news article be like according to Paragraph 5?

A．It begins with a summary.

B．It ends with a happy ending.

C．It has enough smart questions.

D．It gives opinions about the event.

【4】How can a reporter avoid getting embarrassed by his news report?

A．By choosing a proper topic.

B．By checking it for grammar mistakes.

C．By filling it with enough details.

D．By removing boring facts from it.

22、Dalmatian Coasts, Croatia

It’s no secret that summers on the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia offer clear blue waters for swimming, beautiful sunsets, historic buildings and picture-perfect beaches. The best way to see the Dalmatian Coast is from your own sea kayak. But the temperature is far too high to be comfortable in the high season, so you need to wait until it drops but the sea is still warm.

Mykonos, Greece

Mykonos is usually very crowded with visitors in July and August, but the Greek meltemi winds can be a real problem in high summer. Later in the season, they are much calmer and you can spend your time lying on the beach without being angry with the sand. The best address is the Hotel Belvedere, but the cheapest hotel is the Grace Mykonos, which is good value in September, but even better a month later.

Aeolian Islands, Italy

Silily’s beautiful seven islands often attract Oscar-winners like Robert De Niro and Russell Crowe. September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands, as the tourists have gone. Don’t miss Panarea, where the only way of getting around is on foot, and make sure you include the greenest island, Salina.

St Tropez, France

St Tropez in high season is full, but come the end of August, it soon returns to being the French Provencal fishing town of the 1960s. You can walk through its streets in peace and drop into its popular stores without the crowds. It’s also much easier to get a meal at places such as Alain Ducasse’s Spoon, or to drop into bars like Nikki Beach for a drink. The best places to stay are Hotel La Ponche or Le Beauvallon, a 10-minute boat ride across the bay in St Maxime.

【1】Where can you go if you are interested in historic buildings?

A．Mykonos, Greece

B．St Tropez, France

C．Dalmatian Coasts, Croatia

D．Aeolian Islands, Italy

【2】When is the best time to stay in the Grace Mykonos?

A．In October

B．In August

C．In July

D．In September

【3】Why does the author say September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands?

A．The weather is quite good

B．There are fewer tourists

C．There is a chance to meet stars

D．Green can be seen everywhere

【4】Which word can best describe St Tropez at the end of August?

A．Hot

B．Busy

C．Green

D．Quiet

24、The relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples of the Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.

The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal (木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.

To come to these conclusions, the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soil from different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants — they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.

Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from a collapse.

As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”

【1】How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo?

A．They always destroyed the rainforest.

B．They had a side effect on the rainforest.

C．They never lived in the area of the forest.

D．They had been in harmony with the forest.

【2】What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru?

A．The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.

B．The evidence of human influence on the forest.

C．The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.

D．The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.

【3】What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Sudden decrease.

B．Bad management.

C．Poor preservation.

D．Over development.

【4】What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words?

A．Native peoples should protect the rainforest.

B．We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.

C．More science research should be done on rainforest.

D．We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.

25、   Having a clear picture in mind of what their future will look like can motivate students to keep going despite the challenges of college life. This ______ seems to be particularly effective for female students from relatively low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds says Mesmin Destin of Northwestern University in the US. College is a time of great opportunity for some, but can be ______ for others. It is often the first time that many students are away from the regular and familiar support of their family and friends. Weak students from lower SES backgrounds often encounter greater financial and psychological challenges than others, and this can lead to ______ and even withdrawal from difficult situations, such as when interacting with their lecturers or taking tests and exams.

Destin and his colleagues wanted to understand if students' ______ to academic challenges improve when they look forward to the future. This idea is built around the theory of identity-based motivation. It holds that people can take positive action during times of unfavorable conditions when they______ a successful future for themselves.

"The theory of identity-based motivation proposes that stimulating a focus on a successful future identity may be especially ______ in motivating students who are weak during challenging academic situations to develop a sense of action readiness," explains Destin. "This involves feeling ready and able to take appropriate action when ______ difficulty.

In two almost identical laboratory experiments -- one involving 93 female students, the other 185 students (including 101 women) -- participants were first asked either to write about their past or their future ______. After their deep thoughts, the participants were filmed during an imitated interview with a so-called lecturer, and then had to ______ a difficult academic test. The research team noted whether participants' body language was bold and confident, and measured the amount of effort participants' ______ the academic test.

The results were in agreement with the theory of identity-based motivation. Destin and his team found that having a successful future identity can prevent especially female students from lower SES backgrounds from ______ during challenging academic situations. Specifically, lower SES women who wrote about their future identities displayed greater action ______ compared to those who considered their past. They showed more confident body language. It helped them to make more effort to tackle the test, and had an indirect effect on their ______.

"Stimulating imagined successful future identities appears to provide a ______ pathway to enable weak students to effectively navigate everyday stressors," says Destin. "The findings ______ suggest that certain students may benefit from strategies that remind them to image their successful futures before any difficult and important task that they might otherwise be likely to avoid."
