international politics, from sports to business，from fashion to science,and many types of comment andspecial feature(特写)as well，from editorial page to feature articles andinterviews to criticism of books,art theatre and music.A newspaper is even greater for the way one reads it：never completely,never straight through，but always by jumping from here to there,in and out,glancing at one piece，reading another article all the way through,reading just afew paragraphs of the text.So a good modern newspaper offers many different things to attract manydifferent readers,but there is another thing that helps to hold their interest：topicality.The topicality of a newspaper is its immediate relation to what ishappening around you and in other places o the world now.This immediacy andthe speed of production that goes with it also mean that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than short value in time.For all these reasons,no two people really read the same paper：each personchooses something from the pages of that day's paper and forms his ownnewspaper.For all these reasons,reading newspapers efficiently,which meansgetting what you want from them without missing things you need and withoutwasting time，demands skill and self-awareness as you change and apply thetechniques of reading.28.According to the passage,no two people really read the same newspaper because.A.people pay attention to what they are interested inB.people usually read at least two kinds of newspapersC.people are hardly interested in the same kind of newsD.people have different views about what a good newspaper is29.It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers.A.have many reading skillsB.always jump from one newspaperto anotherC.prefer newspapers to booksD.are usually selective readers30.Which can be a suitable title for the passage?A.How to read newspaper?B.Where to find a good newspaper?C.What is a good newspaper?D.Newspaper.31.The author wrote the passage to.A.advertiseB.introduceC.arguepareDWe can achieve knowledge either actively or passively.We achieve it activelyby direct experience,by testing and proving an idea,or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else.Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watchTV or read newspapers or magazines is passive.Though we are accustomed to passive learning,it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everydaycommunication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately,passive learning has a serious problem.It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is not true or real.Did you ever play the game Rumor?It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn't show it to anyone.Then the person whispers it,word for word, to another person.That person,in turn,whispers it to still another,and so on, through all the people playing the game.The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it.Then the two written statements are compared. Typically,the original message has changed.That’s what happens in daily life.The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own wordschanges the story.Then,too,most people listen imperfectly.And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story,trying to improve on it,stamping it with their own personal style.Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors:A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another,who may in turn be quoted by yet another;and this process may continue,unless someone questions the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenges the interpretation he placed upon those facts.32.According to the passage,active learning may take place in.A.reading scientific journalsB.listening to the teacher in classC.doing a chemical experimentD.watching newsprograms on TV33.What does the underlined word“it”inParagraph2refer to?A.classroomB.newspapersC.active learningD.passivelearning34.The game Rumor mentioned in Paragraph2indicates that.A.playing games can make people more activeB.people tend to like telling lies when playing gamesC.a message may be changed when being passed onD.people may have problems with their sense of hearing35.What can be inferred from the text?A.Scholars and authors can’t be trusted.B.Passive learning may not be reliable.C.People like spreading untrue stories in daily life.D.Active learning is more important than passive learning.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
