【題目】The earliest newspapers started in ancient Rome. They were handwritten news sheets. The first printed newspapers appeared in China during the Tang dynasty, which were printed from carved wooden blocks. Modern papers first appeared in Venice, Italy in the middle of the 14th century. The newspapers of today, with advertising and a mixture of political, economic, and social news and comments, were started in Britain in the mid-18th century.

The main function of newspapers is to report news. Many newspapers also provide special information to readers, such as weather reports and television timetables. They also provide comments on politics, economics, arts and culture. Almost all newspapers depend on advertising to make money.

Nearly six out of ten adults in the United States and Canada read a newspaper every day. Seven out of ten read a paper each weekend. Readers search newspapers for detailed background information and analysis. This is what television and radio news reports seldom offer. Newspapers tell readers what happened, and they also help readers understand what caused an event and how it will affect the world around them.

The workers at large newspaper companies work under a lot of pressure to bring news to readers as soon as possible. Reporters, photographers, artists, and editors collect articles in just a few hours. Page designers select articles, photos, advertisements, and eye-catching headlines to make the pages, and then rush their work to the printer. Printing workers may work overnight around printing presses to churn out more than 60,000 copies per hour.

【1】Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Production of Newspapers

B. Functions of Newspapers

C. Publication of Newspapers

D. An Introduction to Newspapers

【2】We can infer everything from the passage EXCEPT that ________.

A. newspapers will become less popular because of the development of TV

B. few newspapers have no advertising

C. many adults in America read newspapers every day

D. people can read about many different issues in newspapers

【3】The phrase "churn out" in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A. pressB. produceC. publish D. sell

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】B

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章講述了報紙的起源和發(fā)展，以及報紙的功能，表達了報紙在人們的生活中發(fā)揮著非常重要的作用。

【1】D 主旨大意題。這篇文章主要給我們介紹了報紙的起源，發(fā)展及功能。故選D。

【2】A推理判斷題。這篇文章講了所有的報紙都包含廣告，在美國，十分之六的美國人每天都讀報紙，通過報紙，人們能了解很多不同的事情，文章并沒有說隨著電視的發(fā)展，報紙變得不受歡迎了。故選A。

【3】B 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)Printing workers may work overnight around printing presses to churn out more than 60,000 copies per hour.（印刷工人在印刷機旁邊工作到深夜，要在每小時印刷出6萬多份的報紙。）可知，churn out的意思是“生產(chǎn)，印刷”。故選B。

【題目】Your weight has been important since the moment you were born. Maybe you even know what your birth weight was. Most newborns weigh between 6 and 9 pounds, but some may weigh more and some less. But very quickly, a baby gains weight and everyone is glad about that because it means the child is growing bigger and stronger.

As you get older, your weight is still important. It's something your parents and doctor will probably keep an eye on. When you go for a checkup, the doctor often will record your height and weight and compare it with what it was the last time you came in. The doctor wants to check whether you have a healthy weight because weighing too much or too little can be a problem.

But these days, being overweight is more common than being underweight. In the last 30 years, a growing number of kids and teenagers have developed weight problems. Today, 1 out of 3 kids and teens between the ages of 2 and 19 are overweight. Many grown-ups understand what it's like to have weight problems, since 2 out of every 3 adults (成年人) are overweight..wfsqzkss.

For kids and adults, weighing too much can lead to illnesses and health problems. And a kid who is overweight might be made jokes on or find it hard to keep up with friends on the playground.
