18.Apple's iPod completely changed the way people experience music.What will it do for television?
The industry was intrigued by Wednesday's announcement that episodes of the hit ABC shows"desperate Housewives"and"Lost"will be available for Apple's new video iPod.Episodes will go on sale for $1.99on iTunes the day after they are broadcast.
For ABC and its parent Walt Disney Co.,the bet is that the new technology will bring in more new fans of the programs than will be taken away from watching them on traditional broadcast television.
The network's affiliates(广播电视网的成员) were not told the deal was in the works before Wednesday,and they're the people most likely to be concerned about its impact.Now the iPod will join digital video recorders and DVDs as another way of seeing television programs other than their regularly scheduled times on the ABC stations.
Leon Long,chairman of ABC's affiliate board said if viewers have the choice of watching"desperate housewives"on their wide-screen television with surround sound or a two-inch iPod screen,they will almost certainly watch it on TV.The iPod option will likely be attractive to people who missed an episode and want to keep up with the story,he said.
He noted that two of the three series ABC is offering to iTunes-the new"Night Stalker"is the other-are serials(系列片) that require viewers to follow story lines that play out over several months.
At the beginning,the downloads might also appeal to techies who want to try out the new product and might not necessarily be fans of the programs,which could bring these shows a new audience.
As for the chance it will pull people away from his station,Long said,"It's certainly a risk but I don't think it's a great risk."

57.From the passage,we can guess thatA?
A.episode means a part of a TV show broadcast in several parts
B.iTunes here refers to a musical store seen everywhere
C.iPod is a kind of media player only used for music
D.ABC is a small local American television company
58.Why are the network's affiliates most likely to be concerned about the deal's effect?A
A.Because they are worried it may affect their TV programs.
B.Because people ill have another way of watching TV.
C.Because they want the iPod to join their organization.
D.Because they didn't know what was happening.
59.According to Chairman Leon,we learn thatD.
A.only techies will show interest in the downloads
B.it's impossible for iPod to take away TV viewers
C.the TV shows to be offered by ABC are very boring.
D.most people prefer to watch a play on TV rather than on iPod
60.What would be the best title for the passage.C
A.A great risk for television station.
B.iPods will bring new fans to TV shows.
C.Will iPods change TV the way it changed music?
D.Which is better,wide-screen TV or narrow-screen iPod?

分析 本文主要介绍了最新的iPod音乐播放器是否像对音乐的颠覆性作用一样对电视节目的收看也起到重大的影响.文章主要介绍了人们对于电视节目的观看方式以及对不同行业的影响.

解答 AADC
57.A.细节理解题.根据第二段中Episodes will go on sale for $1.99on iTunes the day after they are broadcast.可知,episode指的是电视剧的一集或者是一部分;所以A项正确;文章并没有提到iTunes是随处可见的音乐商店,B项错误;由开头两句Apple's iPod completely changed the way people experience music.What will it do for television?可知,iPod音乐播放器除了适合播放音乐之外,对于电视剧的开发也是很有效的;所以C项错误;由常识可知,ABC为英国广播公司,而非针对电视节目的公司,D项错误;故选A.
58.A.细节理解题.根据第四段Now the iPod will join digital video recorders and DVDs as another way of seeing television programs other than their regularly scheduled times on the ABC stations可知,美国广播电视网的成员关心这件事情的效果是因为这会影响到他们的电视收视率;故选A.
59.D.推理判断题.根据第五段Leon Long,chairman of ABC's affiliate board said if viewers have the choice of watching"desperate housewives"on their wide-screen television with surround sound or a two-inch iPod screen,they will almost certainly watch it on TV.可知人们还是会倾向于在电视中收看电视剧等节目;故选D.
60.C.标题判断题.根据文章的内容可知,本文主要叙述了iPod音乐播放器是否会像改变音乐的收听方式一样改变电视节目的观看,故选C.

点评 本文属于政治经济类阅读.做这类文章时要求考生读懂文章中的句子还要推理它们之间的关系,结合自己的生活常识和经验,再通过逻辑推理和判断,理解文章的言外之意,从而揭示文章的深层涵义.对于推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到,因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文,在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据,即:已知部分-推论的前提,从中推测出未知部分-推理的结论,切忌妄加评论,把自己的观点当成作者的观点.

3.Thousands of dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky in an Arkansas town on New Year's Eve after massive injuries,tests by Arkansas officials concluded on Monday.Some 5,000birds mysteriously fell from the sky in Beebe,Arkansas after dark on New Year's Eve."The birds suffered from acute physical injuries leading to internal hemorrhage(大量出血) and death.There was no sign of infectious disease,"the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said in a statement.The birds were otherwise healthy,it said.
One theory is that birds were frightened by New Year's fireworks and flew into buildings or other objects."Loud noises were reported shortly before the birds began to fall from the sky,"the statement said,adding that blackbirds have poor night vision and seldom fly at night.
Another theory was that severe weather such as lightning accounted for the loud noises but this was  discountedbecause the violent weather had already left the area."We're leaning more toward a stress event,"said Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesman Keith Stephens.
The commission also is trying to determine what caused the deaths of up to 100,000fish over a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near a dam in Ozark,125miles west of Beebe.The fish were discovered on December 30.Stephens said the commission expected results on the fish tests in probably a month.Since almost all the fish were one species--bottom-feeding drum,Stephens said,the test was very important.Stephens also said:"The events do not appear related."Both that section of the river and the air at the site of the bird deaths were tested for toxins(毒素).Beebe is a town of about 4,500people located 30miles northeast of the state capital.

57.What is NOT the probable reason why the dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky?D
A.Internal hemorrhage  B.Fireworks
C.Lightning weather    D.Murder
58.In the third paragraph,the underlined word  discountedprobably meanB.
A.not to reduce cost   B.not to believe
C.to make up a part    D.to explain mystery
59.According to Stephens,we can infer the probable cause of the dead fish isC.
A.cold weather         B.poor management
C.disease              D.lack of food
60.The passage is mainly developed byA.
A.analyzing causes       B.making comparisons
C.examining differences  D.following the time order.
