A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It’s remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and features as well, from editorial(社论的) page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the text.
A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性),its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality(地点) now. But immediacy(即时性) and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper. What each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence(顺序),his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently means getting what you want from them without missing things and self awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.
1. The underlined word “extraordinary” in Paragraph 1 means “____”.
A. usual B. common C. unusual D. unexpected

“same newspaper” is that ______.
A. people look through the news they are interested in

D. people have different offers “a variety” to readers
4. A good modern newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because _________________.
A. it tries to serve different readers
B. it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality
C readers are difficult to please
D. readers like to read different newspapers
5. The best title for this passage would be _______.
A. The Importance of Newspapers’ Topicality

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ------ Missiles and warplanes sped through the Afghan night sky and attacked four cities in a U.S.- British attack on Osama Bin Laden and his Taliban supporters Sunday. Bin Laden and the Taliban’s leader both survived, Taliban officials said. The strike began after nightfall Sunday in Kabul with five blasts followed by the sounds of anti-aircraft fire.
A Taliban official said civilians (平民) were killed in the storm, but did not say how many or where. The Pentagon said damage judgment was still going on and it was too early to say if there were civilian casualties(伤亡).
The attack also targeted(目标) the heart of the Taliban movement, hitting its military headquarters and the home of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar in the southern city of Kandahar, according to Afghan sources reached by telephone from Islamabad, Pakistan.
The sources said the first wave struck the Kandahar airport, destroying radar equipment and the control tower. The strike also exploded hundreds of housing units built for members of Bin Laden’s al-Qaida terror movement(恐怖营地). More waves would follow later on.
Earlier Sunday, the Taliban had made an 11-hour request to prevent U.S. attacks: they offered to arrest Bin Laden and try him under Islamic law if the United States made a formal request. The Bush government quickly rejected the Taliban proposal.

“S.H.E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true?” cried out Peng Weiye, a senior girl in Shanghai and die-hard(铁杆的) S.H.E. fan. After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S.H.E.’ s performance is perhaps the only part of old fashioned evening to get excited about.
The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers’ English names.
Last week S.H.E. announced they will perform in Las Vegas, US., over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15. At their Shanghai show on October 30, hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Stadium. Inside, thousands of teenagers sang, cried and shouted as the band performed.
“I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank God that, although my parents don’t understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show.” said Peng about the Shanghai performance.
It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have thrilled (excited) audiences. In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Singapore and Malaysia.
When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. “We had never met before, and we didn’t talk at all at the beginning,” recalled Ella.
When asked about the secret of their success, she said, “ Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girl next door, your singing sisters.”
“It’s really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols. Nothing but magical.” She said.
16. Peng Weiye learns the news that S.H.E. will appear at the CCTV Spring Festival Evening Party __________________.
A. on CCTV
B. on the radio
C. from her friends
D. on the Internet
17. Why did lots of parents waited outside the Hongkou Stadium on October 30?
A. They were die-hard S.H.E. fans.
B. They understood their children and were willing to go with them.
C. They were waiting for their children out of consideration of their safety.
D. They couldn’t afford to buy tickets for themselves.
18. S.H.E. come from_________________.
A. Taiwan B. Hong Kong
C. Guangzhou D. Malaysia
19. It can be inferred from the passage_______________.
A. they came from the same high school
B. they were received not only in China but also in other countries
C. the band is named S.H.E. because they are all girls.
D. thanks to their pretty looks, they have taken off in such a short time
20. The passage mainly tells us____________________.
A. how they achieved success
B. we should understand the teenagers
C. S.H.E. will appear at the CCTV Spring Festival Evening Party
D. S.H.E. will perform in Guangzhou on January 15

Possible version for a defender:
It is quite true that there are many ads in our everyday life. They are broadcast on TV, printed in newspapers and even posted in the bus. Companies spend so much money on ads that will encourage us to buy their products. In my opinion, it is the modern society that gives birth to the development of advertising which has gone hand in hand with the development of TV and other media. Ads are in fact so helpful that customers can make a better choice of what to buy. Since the prices may be reduced as a result of advertisements, why are you so critical about the ads? In addition, Ads are also used to make people aware of the social problems and government policies containing new information. As you needn’t pay the expenses of the ads, why don’t you enjoy sense of humour that will make you informed of the changing world around you?
Possible version for a critic:
There are too many ads in our everyday life. They are broadcast on TV, printed in newspapers and even posted in the bus. Actually ads are found everywhere. Companies spend so much money on ads that will encourage us to buy their products. In my opinion, some of the ads are so annoying that I really hate to read or watch any of them. For example, when you are watching TV, some of the ads will make you feel uncomfortable because they last a longer time than you can bear/stand. Some of the ads mislead us by showing some photos of pretty girls as if we would become as beautiful as they are if we buy their product. Therefore we must keep an eye out for ‘hidden information’, distinguish fiction and facts so that we will not become easy target of the bad ads.
