Unit 1　The Mass Media 素养培优练(一) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分) A We journalists,live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools.Many young people don’t even realize it’s new.For them, it’s just normal. This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.I had brought a children’s book to read.It had simple words and colorful pictures, which were a perfect match for his age.  Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures.As I read, he reaches out and pokes(戳) the page with his finger. What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought.Then I turned the page and continued.He poked the page even harder.I nearly dropped the book.I was confused: Was there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening.He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that came alive when you poked them.He thought my storybook was like that. Sorry, kid.This book is not part of your high-tech world.It’s an outdated, lifeless thing.An antique, like your grandfather.Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I’ve even built websites. There’s one notable gap in my new media experience, however, I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio.But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin,and Hebei Province. Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star—two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head.But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet. 1.What does the underlined phrase “hit home for me” mean in Paragraph 2? A.Provided shelter for me. B.Became very clear to me. C.Took the pressure off me. D.Worked quite well on me. 2.Why did the kid poke the storybook? A.He took it for a tablet computer. B.He disliked the colorful pictures. C.He was angry with his grandpa. D.He wanted to read it by himself. 3.What does the author think of himself? A.Socially ambitious. B.Physically attractive. C.Financially independent. D.Digitally competent. 4.What can we learn about the author as a journalist? A.He lacks experience in his job. B.He seldom appears on television. C.He manages a video department. D.He often interviews internet stars. B Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper and its reporters are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina(UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the situation is bleak too. Take The Daily Orange, the student-run newspaper of Syracuse University in New York for example: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online-only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment(注册人数) in college journalism programmes is up. The Daily Orange managing editor,Catherine Leffert,calls the lay-offs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” she says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media programme. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18- and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.” 5.What does the underlined word “bleak” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Hopeless. B.Interesting. C.Useless. D.Encouraging. 6.How do some universities respond to today’s journalism? A.They reduce student enrollment. B.They offer students specialized programmes. C.They prepare students for low-level reporter jobs. D.They encourage students to run their own newspaper. 7.Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph? A.To show people’s positive attitudes to journalists. B.To prove the potential of a career in journalism. C.To show the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel. D.To prove people’s thirst for the latest news. 8.What might be the best title for the text? A.What Is Journalism? B.What Does a Journalist Do? C.Does Journalism Have a Future? D.Are Journalists Still Influential Today? C Thanks to social media,we are more active in our virtual world than we are in real life.Whether we are out with friends or sitting at home,we are glued to our mobile phones.We document almost everything we do,cook,and eat—but not without editing first and adding some filters(滤镜).While you might engage in this behavior for fun,researchers from Florida State University revealed a direct link between posting edited photos on Instagram and risk factors for eating disorders. Specifically,digitally editing pictures to improve personal appearance before posting them on Instagram increased weight and shape concerns in college students.Posting photos contributed to greater anxiety and increased urges to restrict food intake and exercise compared with not posting photos. “As more people turn to social media to stay connected,it’s critically important to let others see you as you are.Compared with edited photos,we saw no decrease in the number of likes or comments for unedited photos on Instagram, knowing this could reduce harmful pressures to change how you look,”said co-author Pamela K.Keel. Too much social media use has long been associated with promoting disordered eating behaviors as well as other mental health issues.So,using a two-stage design,the present study tried to figure out how posting edited photos relates to eating disorders,as well as anxiety and depressive symptoms(抑郁症状),in college students. In stage one,the research team examined associations between posting edited photos and mental health measures in 2,485 undergraduates.While in stage two,they examined associations between posting edited photos and eating disorder risk factors in 80 undergraduates who supported posting edited photos in stage one and volunteered for the experimental portion of the study. The findings showed that those who supported posting edited photos reported greater disordered eating behaviors and anxiety than those who did not,but no differences were found for depressive symptoms. 9.Why does the author mention people’s obsession with phones in Paragraph 1? A.To lead up to the research topic. B.To describe various leisure activities online. C.To introduce his attitude towards social media. D.To explain the way people document their lives. 10.Which statement will Pamela probably agree with? A.Instagram users prefer edited photos. B.It is critically vital to be seen on social media. C.People’s connections on Instagram are stronger. D.Editing photos has no impact on popularity levels. 11.What did the two-stage study show? A.College students exhibited plenty of eating disorders. B.A large portion of undergraduates supported posting edited photos. C.No depressive symptoms were found in undergraduates in stage two. D.Supporters of posting edited photos displayed higher levels of mental health problems. 12.Where can the text be found? A.In a book review. B.In a health magazine. C.In a company brochure. D.In a photography guide.

storytelling, with many new multimedia tools.Many young people don’t even realize it’s new.For them, it’s just normal.(我们记者生活在一个讲故事的新时代,有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到这是一种新事物。对他们来说,这很正常。)”以及第二段“This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.(春节假期,当我和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上时,我一下子明白了这一点。)”可知,this指代上文中的新时代有许多新的多媒体工具这件事情,说明作者通过和孙子的相处,一下子明白了新时代多媒体工具对年轻人的影响,即这件事变得非常清楚。因此应选B。 2.A　细节理解题。根据第五段“Then I realized what was happening.He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that came alive when you poked them.He thought my storybook was like that.(然后我意识到发生了什么。事实上,他对书籍并不熟悉。他的父亲经常用一台平板电脑逗他玩,电脑里有五颜六色的图片,戳一下就活灵活现的。他以为我的故事书是那样的。)”可知,孩子是误把故事书当作了平板电脑。take...for...“把……误以为”,因此应选A。 3.D　细节理解题。根据第六段中“Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I’ve even built websites.(我可能老了,但从数字技术的角度来说,我并不是无可救药。我编辑视频和制作音频。我使用移动支付。我甚至建过网站。)”可知,作者认为自己虽然可能老了,但是还是懂一些数字技术的。A项“Socially ambitious.(有社会野心的。)”;B项“Physically attractive.(外表有吸引力的。)”;C项“Financially independent.(经济独立的。)”;D项“Digitally competent.(有数字能力的。)”符合题意,因此应选D。 4.B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“There’s one notable gap in my newmedia experience, however,I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio.(然而,在我的新媒体经历中有一个明显的差距:我在镜头前花的时间很少,因为我有一张为广播而生的脸。)”可知,作者很少在电视上露面。因此应选B。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新闻业面临的巨大挑战与未来的发展潜力。 5.A　词义猜测题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知,全国的新闻编辑部的工作岗位不到十年前的一半,结合第三段开头可知,学生报纸的现状堪忧,在许多大学校园里,这一消息是没有希望的(hopeless),故选A。 6.B　细节理解题。根据第五段最后三句可知,一些大学给学生们提供了专门的新闻课程,故选B。 7.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句可知,Maddy Arrowood对新闻业的热情源于人们仍然需要新闻,仍然需要信息。由此推知,最后一段以Maddy Arrowood为例说明“新闻业的发展仍有潜力”。 8.C　主旨大意题。文章前四段说明了新闻业面临的巨大挑战,后两段重点说明新闻业在困境中也能谋发展,也能有未来,故C项“新闻业还有未来吗?”为本文最佳标题。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究结果显示,那些在网上发布经过编辑的照片的人比那些发布没有编辑过的照片的人拥有更严重的饮食紊乱和焦虑问题。 9.A　推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,文章在首段提到人们沉迷于手机是为了引出本文话题,即发布编辑过的图片到网上和饮食失调有关系。 10.D　推理判断题。根据第三段“Compared with...on Instagram”可知,Pamela认为与编辑过的照片相比,未经编辑的照片的点赞或评论数量没有减少,所以换句话说,编辑照片对受欢迎程度没有影响。故选D。 11.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知,发布经过编辑的照片的支持者显示出更高程度的心理健康问题。故选D。 12.B　推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了研究结果显示,那些发布经过编辑的照片的人比那些发布没有编辑过的照片的人拥有更严重的饮食紊乱和焦虑问题。所以这篇文章应出现在健康杂志上面。故选B。 Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了残疾人士Mason通过社交平台视频激励他人,分享人生经历。 13.C　根据上下文可知,Mason用视频在激励数百万人。

towards that letter or her”可知,此处与disappointment是并列关系,表示Mason对他的母亲和那封信没有任何愤怒或失望。 17.B　根据下文可知,Mason提到正是因为被生母遗弃了,才会遇到现在对他非常好的家人,这也是他内心真实的想法。Mason是在说实话。 18.A　根据上下文可知,他3岁时被收养,如果母亲没有抛弃Mason,他也不会拥有他现在所拥有的了不起的家庭。 19.D　根据下文的“I have two sayings, ‘I can’ and ‘I will’”可知,他被母亲教导“我能做到”和“我会做到”而不是依靠别人,这是一个人思想独立的表现。所以Mason一直被告知要独立。
