Part III

Reading Comprehension (2 points each; 50 points in all)

Section A

Directions:

There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions or

unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should

decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the

Answer Sheet

.

Passage 1

To

write

a

great

news

story,

you

have

to

make

sure

it

is

correct

,

relevant

(

相关的

)

and

fresh.

.

For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar,

but also the facts.

Any mistakes that appear (

出现）

in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.

For

example,

if

a

newspaper

said

that

Yang

Liwei

was

the

first

man

to

go

into

space,

it

would be wrong. He wasn't the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because

of that mistake.

A

news

story

is

not

only

correct

，

but

also

relevant

to

its

readers.

People

are

mostly

interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at

your school that at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don’t talk about much

news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.

Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to

read about news that happens that day. You don't want to read about news from last week! So,

now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is

full of good news .you can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.
