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?
1.Immediate reporting has become possible all over the world because of().
A.reporters

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
D.that the news reporting is manipulated by big companies
5.What can be inferred from this passage? ().
A.The disadvantages of the communications revolution outweigh its advantages
B.We should put the question of control of the media on the agenda
C.The news reporting has always been objective
D.A reporter can send news directly to the audiences all over the world
Color does influence our moods (情绪)― there is no doubt about it.A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress bri ngs warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.On the other hand, black is depressing.A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active.It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray.
1.The author regards the psychologists'findings as ().
A.groundless

Biologists today don’t expect that anyone will find a magical fountain of youth.Growing older is a natural part of the life cycle that can’t be reversed.As human beings grow older, organs such as the heart and lungs may stop functioning properly.Sight and hearing may become weak.And the human body becomes more likely to come down with serious illnesses from which it cannot recover.
Considered together, changes that bring about the decline of an organism are called aging.Because of aging, many biologists believe that there may be a maximum age limit to which even the healthiest organisms can live.For human beings, this maximum age limit is about 110 years.
Perhaps the most important thing that you can learn from your study of human biology is that you have a lot of control over the aging process in your own life.In fact, within our control are many physical and mental factors that have much to do with aging.For example, each of us, as recent research indicates, can do many things to help prevent heart and vessel disease, which causes half the death each year in the United States.We can avoid eating a lot of fatty meat.Eating too much of these types of animal fats can lead to the clogging and hardening of blood vessels.We can cut back on smoking and hopefully quit entirely.We can limit the amount of alcohol we drink and the amount of sugar we eat.We can exercise regularly and strengthen the heart and other organs.And we can remember to take time out each day for ourselves, time just relax.Exercise, recreation and relaxation all reduce stress – inner tension that is hard on all body organs.
One final thing we can do is to try to keep aware of advances made in health education.Information is often available free of charge from health clinics or schools.
1.Which of the following is the leading cause of death in the United States?

B.Cancer
C.Alcohol
D.Smoking
2.What happens as people grow older?

3.In the opinion of biologists, _________.
A.the aging process can be reversed
B.the aging process can be controlled and slowed down
C.the aging process can be got rid of
D.the aging process can go beyond its limit
4.We can slow down the weakening of all our body organs by ______.
A.not eating animal fat
B.limiting drinking and smoking
C.exercise, recreation and relaxation to reduce stress
D.preventing the clogging and hardening of blood vessels
5.Besides physical and mental factors, which of the following also contributes to living a long and healthy life according tot the passage?
A.Health education
B.Traditional medicine
C.artificial organs
D.The invention of magic pills

物流英语(阅读、理解下面2 段短文并回答问题)
Essay 1 What is logistics?
In the current business environment,logistics is generally accepted as a veryVimportant element for the economic development and business growth of a region,especially a port city.
In reality,what does logistics mean? In which way does it operate?
For simple definition,logistics is a set of procedures in which commodity is delivered in an efficient manner from suppliers to customers.There are three key aspects to the concepts:
1.Movement of goods
Goods can be considered as valuable objects,such as cargo and materials that are valuable and purchasable through commercial transactions and processes.Flow can be determined as methods in which goods are moved or transferred between locations,intermediaries and merchandisers.Modes of transportation include motor,rail,water,air and pipeline.
2.Direction of the flow of goods
In the open market place,buyers and sellers represent two ends of a cormmercial transaction.Buyers are usually customers who demand the goods,while,as sellers are suppliers who provide such goods.When a transaction is agreed upon (sometimes payment is completed,other times the payment is arranged to be completed at a later stage),the suppliers have the responsibility to arrange for the goods to be delivered to the customers.
3.Efficient management of the flow process
The transportation of goods should bear low cost and ensure safety and punctuality.It should do its best to avoid wasting customers’ resources.Currently,the flow of goods is generally controlled by both hardware and software.By hardware,we mean logistics facilities and equipment,such as ports,warehouses and trucks,ships,railroad,cars and airlines.By software,we mean information system,standardization and datasharing.
Questions:
51.What is logistics? ()
A.It is a set of procedures in which goods are delivered from suppliers to customers in the manner of cost efficient and well service.
B.It is a part of a process to deliver goods and services from one place to another.
C.It is a process to transport and store goods.

By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living.These are the wealthy.“We don’t have a budget,” says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City’s South Street.“We just use our credit cards.”
The US has long been one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional.First, there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the US dollar against major currencies.Now the US, still the world’s superpower, can also claim to be the world’s bargain basement (廉价商品部).Nobody undersells America these days on just about everything, from consumer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets.Bottom retail prices anywhere from 30% to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $ 79 billion in 1994.That’s up from $ 74 billion the year before.
True, not everyone comes just for bargains.There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series.But shopping the USA is proving irresistible.Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases.The buying binge (无节制) has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.
The US has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the puring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank.And with a trade deficit at about $ 130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get.Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $ 1624 a traveler versus the Americans’ four nights and $ 298.
31.From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her.
A.are reluctant to carry cash with them.
B.simply don’t care how much they spend.
C.are not good at planning their expenditure.
D.often spend more money than they can afford.
32.The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that.
A.it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the US
B.it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the US.
C.tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the US dollar that year.
D.tourists came to the US for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year.
33.By saying “Nobody undersells America” (Underlined), the author means that .
A.no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American products.
B.Nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commodities.
C.nobdy restrains the selling of American goods.
D.no other country sells at a lower price than America.
34.Why does the author assert that all things American are fascinating to foreigners?
A.Because they have gained much publicity through the American media.
B.Because they represent the world’s latest fashions.
C.Because they embody the most sophisticated technology.
D.Because they are available at all tourist destinations.
35.From the passage we can conclude that the US has come to realize.
A.the weakening of the US dollar can result in trade deficits.
B.the lower the retail prices, the greater in profits.
C.tourism can make great contributions to its economy.
D.visitors to the US are wealthier than US tourists abroad.
