28、 ______ she has been working in China for only two years, she speaks fluent Chinese.A. WhenB. IfC. AlthoughD. Until

B British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry, so newspapermen write as few words as possible. They tell their readers at once what happened, where, when and how it happened and what was the result: how many people were killed ,what change was done and so on. Readers want the fact (事实) set out as fully and accurately as possible. Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accident. So a newspaperman always likes to get some information from someone who was there, which can be given in the person's own words. Because he can use only a few words, the newspaperman must choose those words carefully, every one must be effective (有效). Instead of "he called out in a loud voice", he writes "he shouted"; instead of "the loose stones rolled noisily down the side of the mountain", he will write "they thundered down the mountainside". Because many of the readers aren't very clever, and most of them are in a hurry.1.

三、 阅读理解（共 5 题）18. 阅读理解Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whetherit's cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and theelephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant's trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. Thesecond who felt the elephant's side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like aspear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal's tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant's tailinsisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked liked a tree as he put his armsaround one of the elephant's legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant's ears,said it was like a huge fan.Each man's idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees withyou about a “simple fact”, it's often because his experience in the matter is different fromyours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try thissimple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second.Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your righthand in the lukewarm water.

It is cheap and plentiful. We can get the materialeasily anywhere. And unlike costs for traditional building materials, the price of paper tubesdoesn't jump after an earthquake or flood. The tubes are also lightweight, so you don't needheavy machines to work with them.”Ban started using cardboard paper tubes in the 1980s. At that time he had just graduated fromthe architecture school, and he was looking for a cheapsubstitutefor wood. So he startedreusing the paper cardboard tubes that were left over from rolls of paper in his office.Ban was born in Tokyo and studied architecture in the U.S. before moving back to Japan tostart his practice.
