Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（本大题共25题，共50分） A. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（l2分） Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in the society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is a website called HappyNews. HappyNews was created by Byron Reese, who was the founder and CEO of PageWise. Reese once said about HappyNews, “Since the news media is giving people an unbalanced (偏颇的) view of the world, it’s our duty to make a difference. Traditional media often focuses on negative (消极的) stories, but our personal experience is usually different from that. Generally, most people are good and try to help each other. Most people are honest.” Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in today’s society. Then people are better able to make decisions about the things that influence their daily lives. According to this, Reese said, “HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. Instead, it is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.” By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 readers. About 60 percent of them were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews gets fan mails from its readers on a daily basis. A reader said in one of them, “From HappyNews, I’ve realized that the world is not as bad of a place as I have been trained to believe.” In the world of HappyNews, there is no bad or ugly, only good. 55．According to Reese, how is HappyNews different from other news sources? A．It gives a balanced view of the world. B．It focuses on negative news stories. C．It tells Reese’s personal experience. D．It provides people with helpful news. 56．Some people don’t like HappyNews probably because ________. A．HappyNews doesn’t seem like traditional media B．HappyNews doesn’t report international news C．HappyNews doesn’t tell important issues or problems D．HappyNews doesn’t attract men readers 57．The underlined word “unique” in paragraph 4 probably means ________. A．special B．interesting C．strange D．awful 58．Which of the following is TRUE about HappyNews after its first month online? A．It had about seven thousand readers. B．Most of its readers were women. C．Its readers sent in bad letters every day. D．Reese used it to create other websites. 59．Which of the following news items can probably be found on HappyNews? A．Plastic pollution in the ocean B．Luke Smith wins competition C．3 injured in serious car crash D．The great Garden Bank robbery 60．What can be the best title for the passage? A．How to Be Happy B．Why Women Like HappyNews C．Newspapers vs. Online News D．Not the Normal News 【答案】55．A 56．C 57．A 58．B 59．B 60．D 【导语】本文介绍了HappyNews，它致力于报道正面新闻，与传统媒体侧重负面报道形成对比。 55．细节理解题。根据“Since the news media is giving people an unbalanced (偏颇的) view of the world, it’s our duty to make a difference.”可知，HappyNews与其他新闻来源的不同之处在于它提供了一个平衡的世界观。故选A。 56．细节理解题。根据“HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. Instead, it is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.”可知，有些人不喜欢HappyNews，可能是因为其不讲述重要的事件或问题。故选C。 57．词句猜测题。根据“Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet.”可知，“unique”意味着HappyNews与其他任何互联网新闻或信息网站都不同，这表明HappyNews具有独特性，因此“unique”与“special”语义相近。故选A。 58．细节理解题。根据“By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 readers. About 60 percent of them were women.”可知，HappyNews上线后的第一个月后，它的大多数读者是女性。故选B。 59．推理判断题。根据“However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is a website called HappyNews.”可知，HappyNews专注于报道正面新闻。故可推知，选项B“卢克·史密斯赢得比赛”可能会在HappyNews上报道出来。故选B。 60．最佳标题题。通读全文内容可知，本文介绍了HappyNews，它致力于报道正面新闻，与传统媒体侧重负面报道形成对比。故选项D“不寻常的新闻”适合作为本文标题。故选D。 B.

When Dong Yuhui first started to host livestreams (直播) selling all kinds of products on the company’s Douyin channel, he often only saw five viewers at a time. “For a period of time, I felt quite 63 because I couldn’t see the point of making the effort.

Over the weekend, videos of Dong introducing steaks in both Chinese and English went viral (走红) on social media as people began to 64 that the channel was very different from others.

It was shiny brightly in the sun and I knew I wanted it. I took it out of Martin’s pocket. Shortly after, Martin noticed that his watch was missing and immediately told you about it. You told the class that whoever took it, he should return it. I didn’t give it back. You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle. You were going to search (搜查) our pockets. However, you asked us to close our eyes because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed. You searched my pocket and found the watch there. You kept searching everyone’s pockets and when you were done, you said, “We have the watch.” You never said who took the watch to save my dignity (尊严) forever.

Part 3 Reading and Writing（第三部分 读写） Ⅵ. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（本大题共25题，共50分） A. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（l2分） Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in the society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is a website called HappyNews. HappyNews was created by Byron Reese, who was the founder and CEO of PageWise. Reese once said about HappyNews, “Since the news media is giving people an unbalanced (偏颇的) view of the world, it’s our duty to make a difference. Traditional media often focuses on negative (消极的) stories, but our personal experience is usually different from that. Generally, most people are good and try to help each other. Most people are honest.” Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in today’s society. Then people are better able to make decisions about the things that influence their daily lives. According to this, Reese said, “HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. Instead, it is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.” By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 readers. About 60 percent of them were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews gets fan mails from its readers on a daily basis. A reader said in one of them, “From HappyNews, I’ve realized that the world is not as bad of a place as I have been trained to believe.” In the world of HappyNews, there is no bad or ugly, only good. 55．According to Reese, how is HappyNews different from other news sources? A．It gives a balanced view of the world. B．It focuses on negative news stories. C．It tells Reese’s personal experience. D．It provides people with helpful news. 56．Some people don’t like HappyNews probably because ________. A．HappyNews doesn’t seem like traditional media B．HappyNews doesn’t report international news C．HappyNews doesn’t tell important issues or problems D．HappyNews doesn’t attract men readers 57．The underlined word “unique” in paragraph 4 probably means ________. A．special B．interesting C．strange D．awful 58．Which of the following is TRUE about HappyNews after its first month online? A．It had about seven thousand readers. B．Most of its readers were women. C．Its readers sent in bad letters every day. D．Reese used it to create other websites. 59．Which of the following news items can probably be found on HappyNews? A．Plastic pollution in the ocean B．Luke Smith wins competition C．3 injured in serious car crash D．The great Garden Bank robbery 60．What can be the best title for the passage? A．How to Be Happy B．Why Women Like HappyNews C．Newspapers vs. Online News D．Not the Normal News B.

At that time my parents were busy with their work. I had to live with my grandparents. It seemed that nobody cared much about me. One day, a friend of mine, Martin, came in with a nice new watch. It was shiny brightly in the sun and I knew I wanted it. I took it out of Martin’s pocket. Shortly after, Martin noticed that his watch was missing and immediately told you about it. You told the class that whoever took it, he should return it. I didn’t give it back. You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle. You were going to search (搜查) our pockets. However, you asked us to close our eyes because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed. You searched my pocket and found the watch there. You kept searching everyone’s pockets and when you were done, you said, “We have the watch.” You never said who took the watch to save my dignity (尊严) forever. But it was the greatest shame (耻辱) of my life. You never said anything. You never shouted at me or took me aside to give me a lesson. I received your message clearly. ******************************************************************************* “Do you remember this story, Mr. Wilson?” The old man answered. “Yes. I remember the situation with the missing watch. I was looking for it in everyone’s pocket. I didn’t remember you because I closed my eyes, too. You know, young man, I gave knowledge and I also did what a teacher would do for students.” 74．The young man still remembered Mr. Wilson, didn’t he? 75．Who did the young man live with when he was a little boy? 76．What did Martin do when he noticed his watch was missing? 77．How did Mr. Wilson find the watch after the students closed eyes? 78．Why didn’t Mr. Wilson tell others who took the watch? 79．What did Mr. Wilson do for students as a teacher in the story?
