A newspaper, a publication usually issued on a daily or weekly basis, has the main function of reporting news. Many newspapers also furnish their readers with other pieces of useful information, such as weather reports, television schedules, and stock prices. They provide commentary (评论) on politics, economics, and arts and culture. In nearly all cases and in varying degrees, newspapers depend on commercial advertising for their income.

Newspaper publishers estimate that nearly six out of ten adults in the United States and Canada read a newspaper every day, and seven out of ten read a paper each weekend. By the time they see a newspaper, most people have already heard about breaking news stories on television or on the radio. Readers rely on newspapers to provide detailed background information and analysis (分析) which television and radio rarely offer. Newspapers not only inform readers that an event has happened but also help readers understand what led to the event and how it will affect the world.

The staff of a large newspaper works under the constant pressure of deadlines to bring news to readers as quickly as their minds, bodies and the technology they use permit. Reporters, photographers, artists, and editors compile (编写) articles and graphics —sometimes in just a few hours. Page designers combine articles, photos, advertisements, and eye-catching headlines into page layouts (版面), then rush their work to the printer. Printing technicians may work through the night operating printing presses that can print out more than 60,000 copies per hour. 1. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. How many people read newspapers.

B. Why many people read newspapers. C. How a newspaper comes into being. D. How newspapers affect us.

2. According to the passage, why do people read newspapers? A. People want to know what happened.

B. Newspapers are cheaper than any other news medium.

C. Newspapers are more convenient than any other news medium. D. Newspaper can supply us with more detailed information. 3. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 means \ A. offer B. review C. found D. produce

4. What can we learn from the passage?

A. All the income of a newspaper comes from ads. B. Canadians depend on newspapers more than Americans.

C. The staff of a newspaper must constantly meet deadlines.

D. Only by reading the newspaper can readers get the latest news.

5. According to the passage, what affects the pace of a newspaper's publication? A. The editors. B. The printers.

C. The newspapers'human resources and technology. D. The reporters.

书面表达(One possible version) Dear Tom,

I was so pleased to hear from you. Now I am writing to tell you something about my visit to Mount Lion.

The other day I visited Mount Lion with three of my friends. When we got to the top at noon, we were tired, but the scenery there was so beautiful that we forgot our tiredness. On the top of the hill stands a temple, a little south of which lies the tomb of a famous scholar of Yuan Dynasty. We could hardly read the characters on the tombstone. There were many pine trees on the hill. It is said that two of them are over five hundred years old. It was late in the afternoon that we set off for home with a beautiful memory in our mind.

I really hope that one day you can visit Mount Lion with us. Best wishes! Yours, Li Hua
