He was, as he puts it, “not very bright” and couldn't win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who preferred his “clever” older brother. At age 8, Horowitz was sent away to an abusive (虐待的) boarding school in his native England, even though he screamed and pleaded with his parents year after year not to send him.“The thought was, ‘It'll be good for him’，” Horowitz recalls.It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied (欺负) for five years. “My teachers couldn't have had a lower opinion of me, ” he said. “I wasn't even smart enough to rebel (反抗). The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remembered asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.”Now, at 55, Horowitz is one of the world's most successful children's book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month.The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14yearold Alex Rider, an agent for the British intelligence agency MI6.Horowitz said he didn't try to write for kids; it just came o ut that way. “I have a feeling that's to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action, ” he said.That style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grownups. In both cases, it's all about entertaining people with a good story.Now, Horowitz couldn't be happier with his l ife. He sums up his success: “…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it completely.”31．The text is mainly about________.A．Horowitz's popular book—Alex RiderB．Horowitz's miserable childhoodC．Horowitz, a successful children's writerD．Horowitz's special writing style32．In his childhood, Anthony Horowitz________.A．was more intelligent than his brotherB．was paid more attention by his parentsC．couldn't understand why he was sent to the boarding schoolD．led a miserable life because of poverty33．In the boarding school, Horowitz's teachers________.A．showed great concern for himB．often abused and bullied himC．taught him how to write storiesD．thought little of his ability34．What advice does Horowitz have for readers?A．Confidence is the key to success.B．Hardship teaches valuable lessons.C．Interest is the best teacher.D．Diligence is the parent of success.BShe was born to wealth and power in an era when money and politics were left to the men. Later, as The Washington Post's publisher, Katharine Graham became one of America's most powerful women.Despite a privileged background, Katharine had to deal, while growing up, with the high demands her mother placed on her children. Katharine's love of journalism, which she shared with her father, led to her career after college at The Washington Post, the newspaper her father bought in 1933. At the Post, Katharine met Phil Graham, a young, charming lawyer who became her husband. When, in 1945, Katharine's father chose Phil over her to take over his struggling paper, Katharine didn't object and stayed at home as a wife and mother of four.While Phil's successful efforts to restore the Post to prominence made the Grahams popular members of the Washington social scene, Katharine privately suffered tremendous pain from her husband's increasingly abusive behavior and wild mood swings caused by severe depression. When Phil committed suicide (自杀), the 46yearold Katharine found herself thrown into a new jo b,that of newspaper publisher. But determined to save the family paper for her children, Katharine rose to the challenge of running the Post, attending meetings in every department, working endlessly to prove herself to her critics, and becoming the toast of Washington.In 1971, Katharine ordered the Post to print a copy of the Pentagon Papers, the topsecret documents revealing the truth about the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. What's more, her courageous decision and support for her journalists prepared the Post to break the most important political story in modern history: Watergate (水门事件), one of the greatest scandals (丑闻) in American political history. Katharine managed to keep control over the most chaotic of situations when it was reported, all the time insisting the news stories be accurate and fair. Watergate made The Washington Post an internationally known paper and Katharine was considered as the most powerful woman in America.35．Katharine Graham was born in a time when ______.A．women were not given the chance to receive educationB．women were not considered as intelligent as menC．women were not permitted to achieve their goalsD．women were not allowed to enter every field36．When her husband was chosen to take charge of the newspaper, Katharine Graham ________.A．was strongly against the ideaB．was not happy to be rejectedC．was willing to take her share of responsibilityD．didn't believe her husband would do a good job37．Which can be considered the most important event in the history of The Washington Post?A．Reporting Watergate scandal.B．Printing the Pentagon Papers.C．Reporting the Vietnam War.D．Phil restoring the Post.38．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Ups and downs of The Washington PostB．Katharine Graham's family life and careerC．Katharine Graham: from housewife to successfulpublisherD．Katharine Graham: a woman who shaped Americanjournalism。

高三英语一轮复习练习11：Unit 4 Making the news练习题
Unit 4 Making the newsⅠ.阅读理解AWhat are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible.Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from theground.Anaverageperson，hanging by the finger－tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the heightof an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump as hort way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help.Be sure to keep the door closed.Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leak(渗漏) into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.1. It is important to______.A. put out the fire in the burning houseB. know the ways to escape the fireC. jump off a burning houseD. keep the door closed2．It is possible to escape through the windows if_____.A. there are some bushes on the groundB. you are strong enoughC. you live on a lower floorD. you have a long rope3．Which of the following escaping ways is NOT right?A. You can escape though stairways.B. You can choose fire escapes.C. Escape from the windows that open onto a roof.D. Use a lift to come down at once.4．Open the window so that______ifthebuilding is on fire.A. you can get fresh airB. you can call for helpC. you can easily jump offD. you can be seen firstB(2016·全国Ⅲ) Bad news sells.If it bleeds, it leads.No news is good news, and good news is no news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e－mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media，” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails，Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times' website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.One of his first finds was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles.He found that science amazed Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr.Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”5．What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A．News reports.B．Research papers.C．Private e-mails.D．Daily conversations.6．What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A．They're socially inactive.B．They're good at telling stories.C．They're inconsiderate of others.D．They're careful with their words.7．Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr.Berger's research?A．Sports news. B．Science articles.C．Personal accounts. D．Financial reviews.8．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide.B．Online News Attracts More People.C．Reading Habits Change with the Times.D．Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks.Ⅱ.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
高考英语一轮复习 Unit 11 The Media限时特训 北师大版必修4
Unit 11 The MediaⅠ.阅读理解(建议用时15′)A[2016·育才中学联考二]I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn't going to hurry now. He'd drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away.S Then he suddenly W1 fell down. Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned W2 arrow from the elephant's body, and let out P1 over 100 liters of pus (胺)－the result of the elephant's meeting with a poacher (偷猎者) months before.Today's poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two P2； if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once－it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary W3 silence after the shocking W4 sound of his body hitting the ground.I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit－but I couldn't escape W5 the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.文章记叙了作者去拍电影的途中遇到了中毒而死的大象。

Unit 11 The Media课时练1 2篇阅读＋1篇完形＋1篇应用文写作Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·合肥重点高中摸底)Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Most people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. An increasing number of people also report turning to social media for information.Now, there is a new technology that could greatly change the way we get the news: computer－created news readers. China has launched what it called the world’s first artificial intelligence, or AI news presenters.The news readers, supported by machine learning technology, are based on two real life Chinese newsmen. One is able to present news broadcast in English; the other, in Mandarin Chinese. A report said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen. Similar technology has been used to create video products known as “deepfake videos”. A deepfake video is a video that looks real, but is electronically changed. Such videos can make people appear to say things they never said.It’s said that the AI presenters will be a great improvement to the news team because they “can work 24 hours a day” on its website and on social media. One of the presenters even promised to “work tirelessly” to keep people informed. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China’s latest progress in voice recognition, text to speech technology and data analysis.Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Some people argued that only low level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from lowcost labor machines.Anyway, for its great potential, some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能新闻主播的相关内容。
