Part I Reading Comprehension [40 minutes / 40 points] Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice. Passage 1 Newspapers, along with reporting the news, instruct, entertain, and give opinion. An important way for reading a large, big-city newspaper is knowing how to take it apart. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business, entertainment, opinions, classified ads? Does your paper have other sections? News stories give facts, not the author’s opinions. Editorials do the opposite: you can expect an editorial to take sides. Some newspaper editorials have a by-line with the author’s name, but many newspapers have unsigned editorials. These reflect the opinions of the publisher or editor. You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines to omit unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the lead paragraph (the first paragraph) of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages. Most of all, the more you know about the current news, the more you will understand what is in the newspaper; important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way for reading newspapers is reading one frequently. 1. To read a large newspaper, a good way is _________. A. to find separate sections B. to read it from cover to cover C. to do some paper-cutting D. to predict what is inside the newspaper 2. Which of the following statements about news stories is true?

News stories express the writer’s point of view. 3. If you want to know less important news without any details, you can read _________. A. the headlines on the inside pages B. news stories on the front page C. the lead paragraphs of the news on the front page D. news items on the inside pages only 4. To follow the current news, the best way is to _________. A. read extensively and thoroughly B. read various newspapers skillfully C. read a large big-city newspaper carefully D. read one newspaper frequently 5. The main idea of this passage is _________. A. how to read newspapers effectively B. how to find important news stories C. how to read stories and editorials D. how to tell apart different news sections

题目解答

答案

ABADA

解析

考查要点：本篇文章主要介绍如何有效阅读大城市的报纸，包括报纸的结构、新闻与社论的区别、阅读策略等。题目重点考查学生对文章细节的理解和主旨的把握。

解题核心思路：

  1. 明确新闻与社论的区别：新闻只陈述事实，不带个人观点；社论则表达观点，可能署名或不署名。
  2. 报纸版面功能分区：头版重要新闻，内页次重要新闻；标题省略冗余信息，导语包含关键事实。
  3. 阅读策略：频繁阅读同一报纸以跟踪新闻动态，结合已有知识提升理解。

破题关键点：

  • 定位关键句：如“important facts in the lead paragraph”“expect less important items to be on the inside pages”等。
  • 区分选项干扰项：如第3题需注意“less important items”与“without details”的对应关系。

第1题

关键句：文章首段指出“An important way for reading a large, big-city newspaper is knowing how to take it apart”（掌握拆分报纸各部分的方法是关键）。
选项分析：

  • A. to find separate sections：正确，对应“take it apart”即识别不同版块。
  • B、C、D均未提及，且与文章主旨不符。

第2题

关键句：新闻“give facts, not the author’s opinions”，社论“take sides”（表达观点）。
选项分析：

  • B. News stories tell the facts without comments：正确，新闻不包含观点。
  • A、C、D均混淆新闻与社论的功能。

第3题

关键句：文章提到“important news items to be on the front page”“less important items to be on the inside pages”（头版重要新闻，内页次重要新闻）。
选项分析：

  • D. news items on the inside pages only：正确，内页新闻较次要且简短。
  • 其他选项混淆“headlines”“lead paragraphs”与“news items”的位置。

第4题

关键句：“an important way for reading newspapers is reading one frequently”（频繁阅读同一报纸）。
选项分析：

  • D. read one newspaper frequently：正确，强调持续跟踪新闻动态。
  • 其他选项未体现“frequent”或“one newspaper”。

第5题

关键句：文章主旨是“how to be a better reader of newspapers”（如何有效阅读）。
