23、 Journalism (新闻业) is a fast-paced industry, requiring reporters to get the facts about newsworthy events and to write about them before a deadline (截止日期). It takes some skills to do this. At the same time, news reporters must follow strict requirements and have a deep understanding of news writing.
Know what you’re going to write about. Newsworthy events can happen anytime and anywhere. So reporters need to develop a good nose for news.
Get all the facts and look at the details. Be sure to look at a story from different angle (角度). Even if you are covering a popular story or topic that others are writing about, look for an angle that will make this one yours.
Check facts to avoid mistakes. Sources may also make mistakes and some may even deceive you. It’s wise to get in touch with other sources. In a shooting incident, for example, getting the facts from the police and from both the criminal (罪犯) and victim isn’t enough. You should also interview other witnesses who may give more information about the incident. Interviewing people and getting a firsthand source on your topic can be valuable.
Start writing the news. When it comes to the body of the article, the main information should be given in the leading statement. It is often a short one, including the basics of what happened, where and when it took place, who was involved and why it’s newsworthy. These details are the main point that informs the reader. Other information about the story follows. This form allows editors to cut off the last paragraphs if there’re space limits.
Check your article for mistakes. If time permits, leave the article for a moment and then read through it again with a fresh eye. Newspaper publications usually have someone check for mistakes but keep in mind that you’re the first line of defense. Grammar mistakes are embarrassing (令人尴尬的), and some mistakes may result in a lawsuit(诉讼).
【1】What can we learn about journalism from the first paragraph?
A．It is developing fast.
B．It is very challenging.
C．It is very interesting.
D．It is popular worldwide.
【2】What does the underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Warn.
B．Assist.
C．Interest.
D．Cheat.
【3】What should a good news article be like according to Paragraph 5?
A．It begins with a summary.
B．It ends with a happy ending.
C．It has enough smart questions.
D．It gives opinions about the event.
【4】How can a reporter avoid getting embarrassed by his news report?
A．By choosing a proper topic.
B．By checking it for grammar mistakes.
C．By filling it with enough details.
D．By removing boring facts from it.
24、 During a small earthquake, you will feel a little shaking. Pictures hanging on the walls might move back and forth. Dishes might rattle (发出响声) inside the kitchen cabinet. A lamp might possibly fall and break.
In a very strong earthquake, you might be thrown upward or down to the ground. Cracks might appear in the ground. Windows might be broken. Buildings and bridges might fall down. People might be injured or even killed. Strong earthquakes often suddenly break electric wires. That means electric lights and machines will not work. Water pipes sometimes break, so people have no water to drink. Pipes that carry natural gas and tanks that hold petrol and dangerous chemicals can break and start fires.
Aftershocks (余震) are mini-quakes that come after the main part, of an earthquake. They can cause even more damage. Aftershocks are especially dangerous for rescue workers who have gone into ruined buildings to help people who are trapped inside. The buildings can collapse, trapping the rescue workers along with the people they are trying to help.
Very strong earthquakes can cause tsunamis in the ocean, which may bring great damage. Earthquakes can cause landslides where dirt and rocks slide down the sides of a mountain and damage buildings and hurt people. Earthquakes can also cause avalanches (雪崩) and heavy snow slide down a mountainside. An avalanche can be just as dangerous as a landslide.
【1】All the following may be the results of a strong earthquake EXCEPT that .
A.strong bridges fall down
B.people have no water to drink
C.some dangerous chemicals flow out
D.dishes in the kitchen shake and make sounds
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Aftershocks are not as dangerous as the main part of an earthquake.
B.Aftershocks are even more dangerous than big earthquakes to the rescue workers.
C.Aftershocks are not dangerous for rescue workers.
D.Aftershocks are strong earthquakes following the main part of an earthquake.
【3】The underlined word “collapse” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.
A.fall down B.shake out
C.set up D.break through
【4】It can be inferred from the passage that _______ .
A.strong earthquakes can cause tsunamis in the river
B.strong earthquakes are caused by the movements of oceans
