Two hundred years ago, it took several weeks for the news of the important Battle of T

rafalgar to reach London.Nowadays, you can watch a terrorist attack as it happens anywhere in the world.The communications revolution means that we are constantly bombarded with instant news.This has great advantages, but it also raises important questions.

Satellites have enabled immediate reporting worldwide.A reporter can send the news to a network like CBS News and within seconds it can be all over the world.They send electronic reports that go straight into the newspaper or onto the TV screen.Reporters can now also transmit images through their mobile phones.Consequently, live, “on-the-spot” reporting has become the norm and TV viewers can get a much better idea of what a natural disaster, a conflict or an interesting scientific discovery is like.

In recent years, several changes have occurred in the ownership of news media.Networks owned by large companies and governments have become bigger and very powerful.These networks – such as BBC News 24–are hungry for news and have huge audiences.However, there can only be a limited number of such networks and their ownership is a big issue.

Some companies not only own TV and radio networks but newspaper groups as well.Who decides what news to publish and what sort of “spin” to put on it？ Is it always objective？ There are now “spin doctors” who manipulate the news,emphasising certain parts and not others – and as a result, much of it is not neutral.Therefore, the question of control of the media matters very much.In some cases, the media companies are more powerful than governments.They can even influence elections.So the question is – should they be controlled and if so, by whom？

A.ownership of news networks

B.that there can only be a limited number of such networks like BBC News 24

C.that networks owned by large companies and governments have become bigger and very powerful

5.What can be inferred from this passage？ ().

A.The disadvantages of the communications revolution outweigh its advantages

The word horsepower（马力)was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the

The word horsepower(马力)was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the first widely used steam(蒸气)engine. He had no way of tellingpeople exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring(测量) power.

Watt decided to find out how much measure the work his steam engine could do.

He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3,300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.

Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.

1、The passagesays that Watt made the first widely used steam engine.

2、Watt made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of a horse.

3、Watt wanted to find a way to lift a 3300-pound weight.

4、One horsepower would equal the weight a horse could lift.

5、The title of the passageis "How the Term Horsepower Came into Being".

第10题

London's River Thames has twenty-seven bridges. But Tower Bridge, the first bridge over the Thames as you travel to London from the sea, is the most famous of them all. What makes Tower Bridge so exciting? Why do visitors come from all over the world to see it?

The thing that is surprising about Tower Bridge is that it is open in the middle. It does this to let the big ships through to the Pool of London. If you are lucky enough to see the bridge with its two opening arms high in the air, you will never forget it.

On its north side stands the Tower of London itself. Although they look the same age, the Tower is almost a thousand years old, and Tower Bridge is only about one hundred, it was built in the 1890s. By1850, everyone agreed that a bridge across the Thames near the Tower was most necessary. But the designers argued about the new bridge for another thirty years. This took so long because they had two big problems.

l. Tower Bridge is () .

A. about one thousand years old

B. the oldest and the most famous bridge in London

C. the first one you can see when you go from the sea to London

The Tower of London is () .

B. on the north of Tower Bridge

C. in the middle of Tower Bridge

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage()?

A. You can see the bridge with its two opening arms high in the air at anytime.

B. By 1850 everybody thought it most necessary to have a bridge built across the Thames near the Tower.

C. It took the designers thirty years to argue about the bridge before it was built.

4. Why is the bridge open in the middle()?

A. To make it special.

第11题

Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They 【B
1】 that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the 【B2】 man. But they insisted that its 【B3】 results during the period from 1750 to 1850 were widespread poverty and misery for the 【B4】 of the English population. 【B5】 contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1650 to 1750, when England was still a 【B6】 agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity.

This view, 【B7】 is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists 【B8】 history and economics, have 【B9】 two things: that the period from 1650 to 1750 was 【B10】 by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace.

【B1】

A．admitted

B．believed

C．claimed

D．predicted
