A.Someone who likes swimming.B.Someone who likes diving.C.Someone who likes climbing mountains.D.Someone who likes taking pictures.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，浙江古城石城在多年前被埋在水下，后被人們發(fā)現(xiàn)。最令人驚嘆的是整座城市保存得很完整。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“When the Chinese government decided they needed a new hydroelectric power station (水力發(fā)電站) , a dam and manmade lake were constructed and the city was left at the bottom of this new body of water.”可知當(dāng)時中國政府決定他們需要一個新的水電站，就建立了一個大壩和人工湖,然后這座城市就被留在了水底。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“After the initial findings, international archaeologists and a film crew then recorded the preservation of the lost ruins.”可知在的發(fā)現(xiàn)之后，國際考古學(xué)家和一個攝制組記錄下了失落的遺址的保存（情況）。由此推斷前面那些發(fā)現(xiàn)是最初的，故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“It39。s incredible to think that after all this time, the structure still remains intact and we could one day visit it.”可知令人難以置信的是，經(jīng)過這么長時間，這座建筑仍然完好無損并且我們有一天可以參觀它。也就是說石城最難以置信的部分就是它在水下這么長時間還保持完好，故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Now, it sits at depths ranging from 85 feet to about 103 feet”可知石城現(xiàn)在在水下85英尺到103英尺。石城在水下很深的地方，所以參觀石城需要潛水，所以最有可能去游玩的是那些喜歡潛水的人，故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。 8．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long selfanalysis known as the journalism credibility project. Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly lowlevel findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, bined with lots of headscratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want. But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they report each day39。s events. In other words, there is a traditional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a readymade narrative structure for otherwise confusing news. There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the standard patterns of the newsroom seem foreign to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middlesize cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these munities were phoned at random and asked the same questions. Replies show that pared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they39。re less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a munity. Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite (精英), so their work tends to reflect the traditional values of this elite. The alarming distrust of the news media isn39。t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers. This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lots of symposiums (討論會) and a credibility project devoted to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers. But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class prejudices that so many former buyers are plaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.（1）What is the passage mainly about? A.Needs of the readers all over the world.B.Causes of the public disappointment about newspapers.C.Origins of the declining newspaper industry.D.Aims of a journalism credibility project.（2）The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be ______.

A.failure to realize its real problemB.tendency to hire annoying reportersC.likeliness to do inaccurate reportingD.prejudice in matters of race and gender【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）C（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，為了解釋為什么大眾不信任報紙信息，專門做了一個叫新聞可信度項目，結(jié)果卻是相當(dāng)?shù)媚w淺，大眾對報刊的不信任不在于單詞拼寫錯誤，語法不對，而是新聞記者和普通讀者之間世界觀的沖突。 （1）考查主旨大意。本文主要講述，為了解釋為什么大眾不信任報紙信息，專門做了一個叫新聞可信度項目，結(jié)果卻是相當(dāng)?shù)媚w淺，大眾對報刊的不信任不在于單詞拼寫錯誤，語法不對，而是新聞記者和普通讀者之間世界觀的沖突，因此本文解釋了大眾不信任報紙的原因，故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly lowlevel findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes,”可知，很悲傷的是，這個項目結(jié)果卻是很多膚淺的發(fā)現(xiàn)，比如事實性的錯誤，單詞拼寫和語法錯誤等，因此可知，作者對這個項目的結(jié)果很失望，覺得發(fā)現(xiàn)很膚淺，故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The alarming distrust of the news media isn39。t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.”可知，對新聞媒體不信任不在于信息的不準(zhǔn)確和匱乏，而是記者和讀者之間世界觀的沖突，故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class prejudices that so many former buyers are plaining about.”可知，新聞媒體似乎沒有抽出時間去關(guān)注文化和階級的偏見，而這些問題是之前很多讀者就一直在抱怨的，故可知，報刊行業(yè)依然沒有讓人滿意在于沒有認真去關(guān)注問題，故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇社會文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進行分析推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答
