    "If there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that m a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get  most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
    The nature of what is news may change .What basically makes news is what affects our lives - the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though .It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic（基因的） engineering. In the future, I think  there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do - as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates  and what our feelings really are.
    It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted（传送）electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact ,I'm pretty sure  how it will happen m the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read - sports and international news, etc.
    I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media（媒体）．They actually feed off each  other.  Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet. it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

    A．The Best Way to Get NewsB．The Changes of Media

    D．the writer believe some media will die out

    小题1:主旨题：这篇文章主要讲了报纸的未来。故选D。
    小题2:细节题：根据I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though .It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic（基因的） engineering.可知根据作者的观点，在未来报纸将会包含更多的科学研究。故选C。
    小题3:细节题：根据You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read - sports and international news, etc.可知这里想说你自己制作的报纸可能会有你感兴趣的东西在报纸上。故选D。
    小题4:推断题：根据Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened.

    When I was 12，all I wanted was a signet(图章) ring.They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one.On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it.I was in heaven.
    What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”．We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff(东西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
    Then，only one month later，I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually，I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later，we sold the house and moved away.
    Years passed，and a couple of moves later，I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn’t my birthday，nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift­giving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look.“You’ll recognize this one，” she said，smiling.
    Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
    The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations，which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom，they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the ring.They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
    And it still fits me.                       (2013·福建，A)

    Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with         problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very         . So, what makes blogging different from writing in         diary?
    The biggest difference is that blogging is much more         than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of         that she does not want to        .
    It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog         a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
    I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her         . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.         I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but         in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was         that my sister might read it!
    The biggest         with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something         about her in my diary, she would never know!        , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend         read her blog and get a “cry”.
    There are also         to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary,  “Nobody cares about me,”         would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would         respond and tell her how much they         her. Blogs help people         in touch with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

    With the average temperature for January standing at －50 ℃，it is no wonder the Russian village of Oymyakon is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.Known as the“Pole of Cold”，the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon is －71.2 ℃.This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the northern hemisphere(北半球)．
    Ironically，Oymyakon actually means“non?freezing water”due to a nearby hot spring.Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.
    Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer(驯鹿)meat and horsemeat.A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer?breeders，hunters and ice?fishermen.
    There are few modern conveniences in the village—with many buildings still having outdoor toilets—and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular，the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases，the town shuts down in about five hours，and the pipes freeze and crack.
    Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing，glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception，the phones themselves would not work in such conditions.
    Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies，which can take anything up to three days.The earth must first have thawed(融解)sufficiently in order to dig it，so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours.Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug.The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.
    Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.
    小题1:From the passage we can infer that people in Oymyakon ________.
    A．prefer meat to any other kind of food
    B．seldom have fresh vegetables and fruits
    C．can buy anything in the shop
    D．might row a boat to catch fish
    小题2:Which of the following is the first step when burying a dead body?
    A．The coffin must be put in place.
    B．A bonfire has to be lit first.
    C．Hot coals have to be pushed to the side.
    D．A hole couple of inches deep is dug.
    小题3:Mobile phones would not work in Oymyakon because ________.
    A．the batteries are of poor quality
    B．there was no coverage for phone reception
    C．batteries can't be charged in such conditions
    D．the extreme coldness makes the batteries lose power
    小题4:Why do the locals have their cars running all day?
    A．They are afraid they can't get the car started.
    B．They want to keep warm in the car.
    C．They have abundant oil resources.
    D．They have little awareness of saving.

    People usually get into a hard life and are unable to escape from themselves.
    There was once a poor and disappointed salesman complaining every day that there was no      for him to display his ability and the      was often pulling his legs.
    At Christmas Eve, every family      their houses with lanterns and streamers and it was very      everywhere. But he was alone sitting in a bench in a park and recalling the past. It was on the same day last year when he was also alone      his Christmas day away,      new clothes, new shoes, let alone a new car and a new house.
    “Damn! I have to spend this Christmas day with these old shoes again. ” he      and began to take off the old shoes.      , he glanced at a young man in a wheel chair passing by him with his hands strugglingly pushing the wheel forward. It      him that he was so lucky to have shoes to wear while that man did not even have the     . Afterwards, the sales man did anything with a calm      and cherished every opportunity to improve himself. He worked hard and tried his best to make progress every day. Several years later, he      changed his life totally and became a millionaire.
    If you look all around, you will find there are so many people who were born      in the society but they are      in life and never complain about the unfair destiny. They are also not to beg others’ giving. Instead, they constantly      to make themselves stronger and more excellent to      the society. By contrast, we should feel      . We are born healthy, but we are      with life; we complain about our colleagues and dissatisfy with our jobs.
    Maybe all of us would feel afraid when we realize we have fallen into such      state of life, but worse is that you even do not      you have fallen into such a dangerous situation.

    For most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. Soon, that will change. Electronic commerce (trade) is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. There will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder. Many governments therefore want to apply street regulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation.
    Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen. Even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists, the on-line customer in Tokyo, say, can hardly go to New York to get a refund (退款) for a clothes purchase.
    One answer is for government to cooperate more: to recognize each other’s rules. But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober countries to accept. There is, however, another choice. Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves. They do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so.
    In electronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset. Governments, too, may compete to be trusted. For instance, customers ordering medicines on- line may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration; or they may decide that the FDA’s rules are too strict, and buy from Switzerland instead.
    Customers will still need to use their judgment, but precisely because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort. And the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down. In this way, at least, the advent(出现) of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.
    小题1:In case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country, what could he do?
    A．Refuse to pay for the purchase.B．Go to the seller and ask for a refund.
    C．Appeal to consumer protection law.D．Complain about it on the Internet.
    小题2:In the author’s view, businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic world _______.
    A．international cooperation would be much more frequent
    B．consumers could easily seek government protection
    C．a good reputation is a great advantage in competition
    D．it would be easy for consumers to complain
    小题3:We can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the FDA in the United States is______.
    A．very quickB．very cautiousC．very slowD．rather careless
    小题4:According to the author, what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?
    A．Self-regulation by the business.B．Strict Consumer protection laws.
    C．Close international cooperation.D．Government protection.

    Coin confusion
    Rachel looked through troubled eyes at her sister and said, "I wouldn't have thought Eric would be a thief." Her sister Sarah replied, "Whoa, that's a      accusation to make against your best friend!"
    Rachel remembered two days ago when she had brought out her coin collection for Eric to     . At the end of that day, Rachel's mother asked her to do her a favor, so she asked her friend," Is it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?" Eric said, "Go ahead. I’ll clean up here,"      at the piles of coins on the floor.
    When Rachel returned, it never occurred to her to     her coins until two days later that she realized some quarters were      .
    Sarah said, "Why don't you just ask him?"
    "Ask him what? Hey, best friend, did you       my coin collection?" Rachel thought for a moment,        if that would be a good idea. The theft of her collection left her with a feeling of        "How could I have misjudged my friend's       ?"
    The next day Rachel went to Eric's house. Eric was acting funny sort of nervous, like he couldn't be       . In fact, Rachel thought Eric acted like someone with a secret. Anger blossomed as Rachel watched Eric pretend to be kind,      Eric had obviously stolen from her. Rachel finally could not stand it anymore and stood up. Suddenly, Eric     ,"I can't stand it anymore!" Rachel was astonished at hearing her own      burst forth from her friend! Instead of sounding     , Eric sounded excited. He pulled something from underneath the chair.
    "Go to open it! I was going to wait until your birthday, but I can't wait." Slowly, Rachel lifted the top of the     . Laid out in front of her were all of the quarters from her coin collection. Each quarter was in its own      in a new collection case. Each quarter shone like it was new.
    Rachel felt      rush over her neck and ears. She said     , "Thank you! This means... a great deal to me." She was grateful that Eric had cut her      before she said something she would     . Eric was exactly the type of person she wanted as a friend!

    Today，we are told，children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air．Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world．They have lost touch with nature．
    But now 400 organizations in the UK，from playgroups to the National Health Service，are encouraging children to have some“wild time”．They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside．Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city，they can go on adventures in the garden or the park．
    Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad．They need to be shown what to do and where to go．Andy Simpson from National Health Service says，“We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development，independence and creativity，by giving wild time a go”．
    So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now，it seems that going back to basics and experiencing“nature’s playground”is what modern children need．David Bond from Project Wild Thing says，“We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine，freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”．
    This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe，like me，it’s made you think about sticking on your boots，getting outdoors and reliving your childhood．There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!
