To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant (相关的) and fresh.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that appear in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn’t the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story is not only correct，but also relevant to its readers . People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don’t talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.
Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don’t want to read about news from last week!
So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news. You can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.
48. According to the second paragraph, the correct information in a story includes__________ .
A . translation and facts
B. spelling and pronunciation
C. spelling grammar and facts
D. Listening to English more can help you realize your dream.
49. According to the writer, newspapers in Wuxi should talk much about news in __________.
A. Wuxi B. Hong Kong C. Shanghai D. Beijing
50. Which of the following is true?
A. A small mistake can’t get a newspaper into trouble.
B. A lot of people like reading about news from last week.
C. The passage doesn’t tell us who was the first man to go into space.
D. People are mostly interested in news that happens far away from them.
C
There are different kinds of dictionaries for English learner to choose from today. You can find dictionaries with American English, with British English, with slang, and even with pictures. The most popular dictionaries among many students are talking electronic (电子的) dictionaries. All you have to do is type in a word in your language and you can see it and hear it in English. That’s great, right? Well, I think it’s great, too... but only sometimes.
Bilingual (双语) electronic dictionaries are fast and easy. They can be great when you are traveling and need information quickly. But I don’t like electronic dictionaries and even bilingual paper dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain.
When you reach an intermediate (中级) level of English, you know enough of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating (翻译) between languages in your head takes time. You should be translating as little as possible and you should be thinking in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate students use an English-English dictionary made especially for your understanding. For example, Longman has a good dictionary for students. Other companies do, too.
I also feel that paper (book) dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you look up seems to stay in your head longer. It may be because you have to spell the word in your head and then “see it” more clearly in your mind.
So what do you do if you have checked an English-English dictionary and still don’t understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to try to stay in English as much as possible.
51. The most popular dictionaries among students are ________.
A. American-English dictionaries B. dictionaries with pictures
C. dictionaries that can talk D. dictionaries of slang
52. What does the writer think is the best way for intermediate students to use a dictionary?
A. To take the advantage (优势) of an English-English dictionary.
B. To learn more about how an English dictionary is made.
C. To learn more about American English or American slang.
D. To make full use of the advantages of all dictionaries.
53. Why does the writer like paper dictionary better?
A. It provides you with so much information.
B. It makes you learn English better.
C. It seems that you can keep it longer.
D. It seems that the information stays in the head longer.
D
We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched with mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the
desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum stopped and said, “Very dirty floors. ”
“Yes, I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, “But aren’t you working late?”
Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖一下) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight (视野) and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.
After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed (弯腰) politely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.”
Outside, Mum told me, “Dagmar is fine. No fever (发热).”
“You saw her, Mum?”
“Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It’s a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush.”
54. When she took a mop from the small room what Mum really wanted to do was .
A. to clean the floor B. to please the nurse
C. to see a patient D. to surprise the writer
55. After reading the story what can we infer (推断) about the hospital?
A. It is a children’s hospital.
B. It has strict (严格的) rules about visiting hours.
C. The conditions there aren’t very good.
D. The nurses and doctors there don’t work hard.
56. From the text we know that Dagmar is most likely_________.
A. the writer’s sister B. Mum’s friend
C. the writer’s classmate D. Dad’s boss

九、书面表达（本大题共10分） One possible version （仅供参考）
Dear Mr Black,
Today I am writing to recommend myself as the host of the chrity show which will be held in December. I am sixteen and I come from Class 2, Grade 9. I am active and energetic. I am also humourous and easy-going. I study hard and always get good marks in tests. I am not afraid of speaking in front of many people. Last year, I joined a charity walk and raised 2000 yuan successfully. I think this charity show is meaningful and helpful. And we can invite some parents and businessmen to join it and make it more successful.
I think I will be an excellent host and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Qiang (80 words)
