Question

3．There are 101 excuses for not writing or calling the media when you see unfair，biased or inaccurate news coverage："I don't know enough"；"I'm too busy"；"My computer crashed．"
（25）Communicating（communicate） with journalists makes a difference．It does not have to be perfect； not all letters to journalists need to be for publication．Even（26）aone-sentence，handwritten note to a reporter（27）canbe helpful．If you take the time to type a substantive letter，send copies of it to two or three places within the media outlet-perhaps to the reporter，his or her editor，as well as to the letters-to-the-editor department．
If media outlets get letters from a dozen people（28）raising（raise） the same issue，they will most likely publish one or two of them．So even if your letter（29）doesn't get（ not get） into print，it may help another one with a similar point of view get published．Surveys of newspaper readers show that the letters page is among the most closely read parts of the paper．It's also the page policy-makers look to as a barometer of public opinion．
（30）Whenyou write to journalists，be factual，not rhetorical （帶修辭色彩的）．Do not personally attack them； that's more likely to convince them that they're in the right．Address them in the language that most journalists（31）are trained（train） to understand．Call on them to be responsible，professional，balanced and inclusive of diverse sources and viewpoints．
Letters（32）that/whichare intended for publication should usually be drafted more carefully．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要告訴我們當(dāng)你看到不公平的、有偏見的或不準(zhǔn)確的新聞報道不要用各種借口忽視它，而是應(yīng)該打電話或者寫信給相關(guān)的記者，這無論是對于記者還是大眾都是非常有幫助的．

解答 25．解析：communicating．考生的易錯點想必會填入"communication"．請務(wù)必牢記語法填空題里切勿改變提示詞的詞性，只能改動動詞的時態(tài)語態(tài)或填入其非謂語形式．此處為典型的動名詞作主語用法，故填communicating．
26．解析：a．不定冠詞用法考察．不要被one這個假元音開頭的單詞迷惑住了，故填a．
27．解析：can．這題的易錯點在于有考生會填will．切記語法填空題里助動詞不是考點，情態(tài)動詞才是，故填can．
28．解析：raising．考察非謂語作定語，表示"提出同一問題的人們"．和先行詞people為主動關(guān)系，故選用現(xiàn)在分詞，故填raising．
29．解析：doesn't get．文章第二段中"So even if your letter（29）doesn't get（ not get） into print，it may help another one with a similar point of view get published"考察if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句符合主將從現(xiàn)的時態(tài)規(guī)則，故填doesn't get．
30．解析：when．該句符合典型的主祈從現(xiàn)時態(tài)規(guī)則．而符合該規(guī)則的從句有時間狀語從句和條件狀語從句，根據(jù)上下文判斷應(yīng)填入when．
31．解析：are trained．考察時態(tài)及語態(tài)的掌握情況．be trained to do sth．表示被訓(xùn)練做某事，時態(tài)為一般情況，故選用一般現(xiàn)在時，故填are trained．
32．解析：that/which．考察定語從句．先行詞為letter，在定從中作主語，所以that和which皆可．

點評 從這篇考題中相信考生第一感覺是"頭疼"，因為生詞太多．但我們撥云見日后發(fā)現(xiàn)，其實這些生詞并不影響我們做題，所以仔細(xì)審題，調(diào)整好心態(tài)相當(dāng)重要．A篇牢牢把握了考生的最容易犯的錯誤，并根據(jù)這些設(shè)下陷阱．
