32、and even outer space.（分数：40.00）(1).A. Just when B. While C. Soon after D. Before（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.解析：篇章题。上下文理解题。根据文章对报纸的介绍，报纸应在事件发生后才可能登载事件消息。其实，这也是一个常识考题。报纸传递消息的速度再快，也不可能像其他媒体(如电视)进行同步报道，而只能进行事后报道。因此，选soon after。此选项既体现了事件发生在先、报纸报道在后的顺序，又体现了报纸对事件报道的即时性特点。soon after“不久之后、稍后”，如：He decided to live in th
33、is small town for the rest of his life soon after he came here. 他来这儿不久，就决定后半辈子就住在这个小城镇了。before“之前”，含义与客观现实不符，不可能先报道再有事件发生。just when和while“当时候”，都表示同时发生，与事实不符。考点 when，while，as这三个词都可以引出时间状语从句，表事件的同时发生。但when从句表示某时刻或一段时间，如：When he left the house, I was sitting in the garden. 当他离开家时，我正在院子里坐着。while和when一样表
34、某一时刻或一段时间，但while强调动作进行的过程和动作的延续性，如：While she was typing the letter, the telephone rang. 当她在打那封信时，电话响了。as从句表示进展过程，如：As he grew older, he became more intelligent. 随着年龄的增长，他变得更有才智了。(2).A. to give B. giving C. given D. being given（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.解析：语法题。本句的主语是newspapers，空格及之后部分是对主语的情况的继续说明，因此give的逻辑主语就是
35、newspapers，其意为“报纸提供细节”，由此还可看出newspapers和give之间应为主动关系。此句是对报纸的介绍，说明报纸的一般意义和作用，动词的现在分词形式表示经常性的动作或当时的状态，因此，选项giving正符合其意。given和being given选项在起修饰说明主语的作用时与主语为被动关系，其意与句子含义不符。动词不定式修饰前面的名词时含有将来的意味，因此不能选to give。下面举例说明这几种名词修饰结构的不同：a book giving a lot of instructions一本提供很多指导的书/a book given by a friend一本朋友送的书/a
36、book being studied by us this term一本我们这学期正学习的书/a book to give you as a gift一本将送给你做礼物的书。(3).A. gather B. bring C. spread D. carry（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.解析：词汇题。词义辨析题。本句讲述各记者在现场的工作情况，因此，各记者所要做的应是收集信息、采访报道。gather意为“收集”，为正确选项，如：I gathered sticks as kindling for the fire. 我收集了一些枝条作为引火物。bring“带来”，指朝着说话人所在的处所或方向的
37、移动，如：I brought an umbrella with me. 我带了雨伞。/Bring it over here. 把它带过来(我们现在所在的地方)。考点 take含义正好与bring相反，指朝着说话人不在的处所或方向的移动，如：The prime minister took a large retinue with her when she went to Washington. 首相去华盛顿时带了大批随从(现已不在华盛顿)。spread“传播”，如：The rumour quickly spread through the small town. 谣言很快在小镇里传开了。此句讲的
38、是记者在现场的工作，这一工作的首要特点是收集信息，而不是传播信息。carry有“传递，传播”之意，强调逐次传递下去，如：The news was carried by word of mouth to every community. 这条新闻被口头传播到每一个社区。(4).A. reason B. cause C. problem D. purpose（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.解析：篇章题。上下文理解题。本句空格后面部分是对空格内容的解释，其意为“尽快获取信息”。purpose“目的，意图”，如：What is your purpose in doing that?你做那件事的意图是
39、什么?报纸的一个基本目的是“尽快获取信息”，这合乎情理，与题意相符，为正确答案。cause和reason都表原因，cause是必然导致结果发生的动因或条件，是“根据，理由”，如：The doctors report gave no cause for alarm. 从医生的报告看，没有惊慌的理由。reason是指解释某种效果的发生或性质的措辞，如：No one inquired about her reason for leaving. 没人询问她离开的理由。problem“问题”，如：Have you ever read in this newspaper any reports about
40、 urban problems such as traffic congestion and smog?你在这份报纸上读到过诸如交通拥挤和烟雾弥漫的城市问题的报道吗?可见，无论problem，cause还是reason都难以与“尽快获取信息”划上等号，因此，不切题意。(5).A. make B. publish C. know D. write（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.解析：篇章题。上下文理解题。此句中from those.to those.明显指与新闻相关联的两种不同对象，既然前面一种人是make it(撰写收集新闻的人)，与之相对应的当然就是“读报纸”的人了，即要“知晓、了解”新闻
41、的人，因此，选know。write“撰写”，而前面的make是一个弱化动词，可用来指代很多行为动作，本句中就指代包含write动作的动词。因此，如果说新闻是从写新闻的人再到写新闻的人，那么报纸的存在就没有任何意义。publish“发行，出版”，新闻撰写的目的是为读者阅读新闻，发行只是实现这一目的的程序之一，所以也不能选。(6).A. another B. other C. one another D. the other（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.解析：词汇题。词义辨析题。本句意思是“收音机、电报、电视和其他发明与报纸竞争”，other在本句中做形容词，表示“其他的”，如：Have yo
42、u any other questions?还有其他问题吗?other也可做代词，复数为others，同样表示不定的“其他事物或人”，如：The police have found two and are looking for others. 警察已经查获两人，并正在搜寻其他的人。另外，在接下来的句子里，出现了同样的情况，句中用的就是other (means of communication)，因此答案为other。another“另一个(的)，又一(的)”，同样也是既可做形容词又可做代词，也表不定，如：He had another cup of coffee. 他又喝了一杯咖啡。the o
43、ther“另一个”，表特定所指，复数为the others，通常指特定范围内除所指的对象之外所有其余的，如：After her departure, the others resumed the discussion. 她走之后，其余的人继续讨论。“其余的人”特指除她之外所有留下来的人。one another“彼此，相互”，指两者间的互反关系、互反行为，如：The students help one another. 学生彼此帮助。(7).A. However B. And C. Therefore D. So（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.解析：篇章题。上下文理解题。前面句子讲了其他媒体和
44、报纸的竞争，此句和后一句中几个重要的表达如merely spurred(只不过刺激)，improve(提高)传递出与我们对竞争结果的预期相反的信息，因此，此处应为转折关系，答案为however。so和therefore表结果，体现因果逻辑关系，如：He failed to appear, so we had to go on without him. 他没有出现，因此我们只好先走一步了。/He was ill, and therefore could not come. 他病了，所以未能来。and通常表并列，这里不是并列关系。(8).A. value B. ratio C. rate D. s
45、peed（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.解析：篇章题。上下文理解题。首先句中的faster就十分明显地暗示了与速度的关系，空格后的efficiency更是体现了与速度的紧密联系，因为要提高效率必须加快速度。四个选项中只有speed和rate与速度有关。speed指事物运行的速度，如：He decided to accelerate the speed after checking the machine. 他检查机器后，决定加速。rate意为“比率，速度”，表示某一确定数量与另一所测数量的比率，如：With the development of society, infant mortality rate has been greatly reduced. 随着社会的发展，婴儿死亡率已大大降低。此句没有谈到比率问题，只是说“提高(传播)速度”，因此选speed。value“价值”，与句中的efficiency“效率”没有直接的关系。ratio意为“比例，比值”，如：The ratio of 8 to 3 is written 8:3
