The Internet is redrawing the media landscape and will be for decades to come, but traditional media will not be left out of the picture, two journalism professors of University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa argued. Ed Mullins, chairman of the Journalism Department, and Jim Stovall, the founder of Dateline Alabama? the new website of the College of Communication and Information Sciences, agree that the future of the web is still a mystery, but argue that, in the near future, it will serve more as a helpmate to traditional media. “Nobody knows where the web is taking us, but when it comes to journalism, old media will be dominant players in the new media game, ” Mullins believes. “Some rating services report that most Americans go to sites operated by old-line media when looking for news on the web. ” Just as national old media dominate the web at that level, local old media run mostly by newspapers and, to a lesser degree, by television stations, dominate those markets. Is there a pattern here? Yes, say Mullins and Stovall. “At least in the first decade of the web, newspaper companies dominate web journalism, ” Mullins explains. “Why? They specialize in news, and that gives them an advantage. What most readers go to websites for are news and e-mail, a form of person-to- person news, especially in the form of chatting. ” The reason for newspapers’ dominance in web journalism, Stovall points out, is that they have the biggest investment in news. “The Birmingham News, for example, with about 175 positions, has more journalists on its payroll than all of the state’s broadcast, cable, and web—only entities combined. ”(1) What role does the Internet play in journalism according to Paragraph 1?A.

In the 700’s the world’s first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn’t have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (《每日新聞》). It came out in March 1702.In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (《波士頓新聞通訊》), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1, 800 daily papers in the United States.Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (發(fā)行量)in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun (《讀賣新聞》). It sells more than 10 million copies every day.(1) The first daily newspaper came out in________.A. 59 BC B. 700’s C. 1609 D. 1620(2) The first regularly published newspaper in Europe was printed in ________.A.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the formation again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave facts to remember, and told them where to find the formation on the computer. The information was in a specify computer folder (文件夾). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置)better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互記憶).According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories； that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.(1) The passage begins with two questions to________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author’s attitude C. describe how to use the InternetD. remember how to find the information(2) In transactive memory, people ________.A. keep the memory in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information(3) What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s search?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.4. Newspapers are one method of bringing the news to the public. Reporters, photographers, correspondents, and editors are some of the people who create newspapers. They are known as journalists. Reporters are journalists who go out and get the news. They attend meetings. They cover events such as court cases, plays, and sporting events. They interview people to get their views about what is going on. Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline. People do not want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens. Reporters sometimes phone or e-mail their notes and quotations (引用語(yǔ)) to the paper from the scene. A reporter in the office then writes the story. A “stringer” is a part-time reporter who works when called upon. A fire might break out in one part of town. An editor may ask a stringer who lives near the scene to cover the story. Reporters often work with photographers, or photojournalists. Photojournalists take the pictures that illustrate (圖解) the stories in a newspaper. They have to edit their pictures in time for them to appear with the story. A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he or she has special knowledge in. Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there. A paper may have a correspondent who covers just medical news. An editor is a journalist who works at a desk in a newspaper office. Editors prepare the reporters’ stories to be printed in the paper. They decide which story is most important and gets the front-page headline. They decide which pictures to use. Editors do not often write the news, but they do write editorials (社論) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue. People who work as journalists have some things in common. They are curious, they like to write, and they have a “nose for news”．They can spot news as it happens. They know what people want to read about.

(1)-(5)CDBAD解析：(1) C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知，因特網(wǎng)改變了傳統(tǒng)的格局，但是傳統(tǒng)的傳媒并沒(méi)出局，因特網(wǎng)成為傳統(tǒng)傳媒的助手。(2) D推理判斷題。第二段和第三段指出了傳統(tǒng)傳媒業(yè)占據(jù)市場(chǎng)的種種依據(jù)。第二段尾句印證了A項(xiàng)，第三段第一句和第四句印證了B項(xiàng)和C項(xiàng)。(3) B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。最后一段第一句說(shuō)報(bào)業(yè)壟斷是因?yàn)?“they have the biggest investment in news。(4) A主旨大意題。本文主要講述傳統(tǒng)的傳媒(報(bào)紙)并未因?yàn)橐蛱鼐W(wǎng)的出現(xiàn)而被排擠出去。B項(xiàng)與全文意思相悖;C項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)原文未提及。(5) D推理判斷題。從全文可看出作者對(duì)傳統(tǒng)傳媒業(yè)的。2.

(1)-(3)ADA解析：(1) A 推理判斷題。文章只要討論網(wǎng)絡(luò)是否引起人們的大腦記憶事情的變化。作者首先用兩個(gè)問(wèn)題來(lái)引出話題，因此A項(xiàng)最佳。 (2) D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段中的“when people use the internet, they do not remember the information. Rather they remember how to find it. ”可知，在這樣的情況下，人們更容易記住怎樣找到信息，而不是信息的內(nèi)容。故選D項(xiàng)。(3) A 推理判斷題。由文章最后一段最后一句 “This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.”可排除BC，確定A項(xiàng)正確。4.

They can spot news as it happens可知，記者和編輯都具有發(fā)現(xiàn)新聞的能力。nose此處指“感知、發(fā)現(xiàn)的能力”。(4) A 寫(xiě)作目的題。該文旨在介紹新聞工作者的常見(jiàn)職位和職責(zé)，故A項(xiàng)最符合題意。(5) B文章結(jié)構(gòu)題。作者在開(kāi)頭概括了文章所要說(shuō)明的四個(gè)要點(diǎn)：reporters，photographers，correspondents，and editors。第二段和第三段都是介紹“記者”的。B項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)圖準(zhǔn)確地描述了本文的結(jié)構(gòu)。
