    SECTION B (满分10分)

    Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.

    The world of journalism can be very exciting. Journalists are on the cutting edge of local and global events. Before you take a big step for becoming a journalist, please make sure you are aware the climate for newspaper journalists is especially tough right now.

    Once you are sure that a journalism career is right for you, here’s what you need to do.

    ● Education comes first. Besides understanding how to write well, a degree in journalism, English, and communications are also beneficial to those wishing to pursue a career in journalism. In addition to helping you gain the necessary knowledge, many universities offer employment services to new graduates. Attending journalism school, also called J-school, or journalism college is an investment in your future.

    ● Pick a specialty (专业). Jobs in journalism vary a lot, so it is important to decide exactly what path you wish to take. For newspaper reporters, you must be flexible and able to think on your feet because stories are often fast-breaking. Deadlines are typically tight, so be prepared to write with speed and accuracy (正确). There are also broadcast journalists, investigative reporters, foreign reporters, sports journalists and so on, which require different skills.

    ● You’ve got to have the right stuff. No matter which branch of journalism interests you, there are a number of necessary qualities that are common to all. Journalists must have a “nose for news”. Additionally ,Good journalists must use high ethics (高尚的道德规范) at all times. At last, a fair attitude is required for almost all areas of journalism; these jobs require a neutral (中立的) reporting of facts rather than opinions.

    ● Think big, but start small. Although internships (实习) during your last two years of college equip you with much experience, it is highly unlikely that your first job as a journalist will be high-paying. However, getting a job at a community newspaper or local television station is a good start. Once you are working in the field, you’ll have the chance to prove yourself and actively seek advancement.

    1.Why does the author think that attending journalism schools is an investment in your future? (No more than 14 words) (2 points)

    2.How can a newspaper reporter deal with the problem of tight deadlines? (No more than 6 words) (2 points)

    3.What necessary qualities must all journalists have? (No more than 11 words) (3 points)

    4.What is the purpose of the passage? (No more than 10 words) (3 points)

    Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.

    Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors, they would earn as much as￡172,000 a year.

    The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.

    By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.

    To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labor, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jibs”, with psychologist(心理学家) a close second.

    It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.

    Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.

    The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing(投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.

    1.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?

    A.￡30,000. B.￡142,000.

    C.￡172,000. D.￡202,000.

    2.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .

    A. emotional demand B. low pay for work

    C. heavy workload D. lack of training

    3.What is stressed in the last paragraph?

    A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.

    B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.

    C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.

    D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.

    4.What can we conclude from the study?

    A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.

    B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.

    C. Mothers’ labor is of a higher value than it is realized.

    D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.

    No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.

    “Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.

    People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.

    The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect wokers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.

    Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.

    However , physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way , who led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , “Why don’t they just try rolling the things ? ” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized . That , he notes , should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.

    So he tried it.

    He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block.That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel.Then they placed the block on the ground.

    They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled.The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths.They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.

    West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks,but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding.At least,workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.

    1.It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.

    A.rolling them on roads

    B.pushing them over the sand

    C. dragging them on some poles

    D. sliding them on smooth paths

    2.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to?

    A. rolling the blocks with fat.

    B.Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.

    C.Rolling poles to move the blocks.

    D. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.

    3.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?

    A. Because more force is needed for sliding.

    B. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.

    C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.

    D. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.

    4.What is the text mainly about ?

    A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

    B. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

    C. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

    D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

    As is known, that it is interested to teach children to swim while they are still babies. Most large town in Florida and California have already run particularly lessons for babies. The idea has quickly spread to Europe which, in several countries, special courses were now offered to children who are from 7 to 24 months old. The first step is to have a child get rid of the fear with water. Next, he is teaching to float in water. Once he can do that naturally and can swim with fear, the child can master the technique and push him forward through water.
